Safety regulations

In order to prevent personal injury or damage to property, the follow-
ing safety regulations must be observed during mounting.
Fundamental specifications Secure heavy components such as upper and lower housing
sections, seals, covers and rolling elements against toppling or
falling. Pay particular attention to limbs when setting down or
fitting heavy components together, in order to prevent crushing.
Mounting and maintenance work of all types should only be
carried out when the machine or equipment is stationary.
Environmental hazards
Depending on the ambient conditions, safety risks may be present
at the mounting location that are not associated with the housing
but must be taken into consideration in mounting of the housing.
Consult a local safety engineer before starting mounting work.
Observe all safety regulations that are applicable to the mounting
location and to the machine or equipment affected by the
mounting work.
Seal assembly When fitting O rings, use rounded tools only, such as a screwdriver
with rounded edges. A tool with sharp edges may damage the O ring.
Grease Lubricating greases must not be mixed. Use the same grease for
relubrication as for initial lubrication.
Hazard in case of contact with the skin or eyes, or if swallowed.
CAUTION
The grease contains components that are hazardous to health.
Avoid direct bodily contact and wear protective gloves.
 
Observe the safety data sheet for the grease.
Cleaning We recommend using volatile solvents to clean the housing com-
ponents since these allow cleaning without leaving a residue.
In this case, pay attention to the compatibility of the solvent used
with the paint coating of the housing. If compatibility is inadequate,
the paint coating may be damaged with the result that protection
of the housing against corrosion is no longer ensured.
Risk of injury due to volatile solvents. Hazard through ignition
WARNING
of vapours or in the case of skin or eye contact, inhalation or
swallowing.
