Danger due to incorrect attachment and lifting
• Ensure that suitable lifting equipment is available.
• Only hoist the goods using the designated hoisting points and/or at marked positions. The
attachment points are not dimensioned for additional loads.
• Use suitable strap guiding or spreading devices.
• If not specified otherwise in the transport data, always transport the machine in the
position associated with its specific type of construction.
Danger due to damaged attachment points
• Carefully check the attachment points provided on the machine, e.g. attachment eyes,
lifting lugs or ring bolts for possible damage. Replace any damaged attachment points.
• Before using, carefully ensure that the attachment points are correctly attached.
Danger when incorrectly transporting the motor suspended from cables or ropes
If you transport the motor suspended from cables or ropes, the cables or ropes can break, e.g.
as a result of damage. Further, if not adequately attached, the motor can swing. This can
result in death, serious injury, or material damage.
• Use additional, suitable lifting equipment for transport and during installation.
• Two cables alone must be able to carry the complete load.
• Prevent the lifting equipment from sliding by appropriately securing it.
• When using 2-cable lifting equipment, ensure that the maximum angle of inclination is
≤45° according to ISO 3266 (DIN 580).
• Align the eyebolts so that the cables used for lifting are aligned with the planes of the
eyebolts.
Danger when incorrectly lifting and transporting
The motor can slide or topple over if it is not correctly lifted or transported. This can result in
death, serious injury or material damage.
• Use all the lifting eyes on the machine.
• When using the lifting eyes on the machine, do not attach any additional loads or weight.
The lifting eyes are only designed for the weight of the machine itself.
• Any eyes that are screwed in must be tightly fastened.
• Eyebolts must be screwed in right up to their supporting surface.
• Comply with the permissible eyebolt loads.
• When necessary, use suitably dimensioned lifting equipment, for example hoisting slings
(EN1492-1) and webbing load restraints (EN12195-2).
