M73ES ENGLISH Make sure that the paint is not damaged! Any mechanical (scratches), chemical (acids, alkalis) and thermal (sparks, welding residues) damage causes corrosion, which can affect the protec- tive coating. For longer storage periods (more than 24 months) a periodic inspection is recom- mended and, if necessary, the restoration of the external and internal preservative treatment.
DESCRIPTION General description The M73ES Montanari is a gearbox with worm gear-crown unit equipped with a chain sprocket located on the output shaft, driven by a three-phase motor through a flexible coupling. A dual action brake is installed on the unit to brake and stop the load.

Refill Dipstick Breather Drain Fig. 5.2 The vent hole can be closed during transport. In this case, the closing plug must be replaced with the breather plug supplied with the unit.
INSTALLATION General installation information Assembly and installation must be carried out with great care by qualified and trained personnel. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by incorrect assembly or incorrect installation. Provide sufficient space around the unit for installation to facilitate subsequent maintenance and repair work.

Check the oil level before starting. This must be between the notches of the dipstick. Unit supplied filled with oil In this case, the M73ES gearbox already contains the synthetic lubricating oil (polyglycol), which was put in place by the manufacturer before shipment. Unit supplied without oil If the gearbox was supplied without oil filling, the unit must be filled with lubricant to get between the notches on the shaft.
M73ES ENGLISH 7.4 General operation information When operating the M73ES unit, be sure to check that the following situations do not occur: • Excessive operating temperature. • Excessive and unusual noise. • Oil leaks. If any irregularity occurs during operation, turn off the power immediately. Identify the cause of the malfunction by using the table in Chap.
Customer Service department. Montanari cannot guarantee or be held responsible for unauthorized operations on the unit, improper use, modifications made without its consent or the use of non-genuine spare parts.
M73ES ENGLISH MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR General information All maintenance and repair operations must be carried out with care and only by qualified and trained personnel. Compliance with the inspection and maintenance intervals is part of the condi- tions for the validity of the warranty.
When changing oil, always use the same type of lubricant as that contained in the M73ES. Do not mix different types of oil, or oils from different manufacturers. Do not mix synthetic oils with mineral oils or other types of synthetic oil.
Thread Tightening torque (Nm) 9.4 Lubricants For its units, Montanari only approves CLP oils that contain ingredients according to DIN 51517-3, for increased corrosion protection, durability and reduced wear in mixed friction zones. We recommend that customers use one of the lubricants listed in the table, taking into account the viscosity grade specified on the plate.
Page 28
Synthetic oils have a wider temperature range and a higher viscosity index (i.e. a flatter viscosity-temperature gradient) compared with mineral oils. Approximate values for temperature range: • Mineral oils from about -10°C to +90°C (short term +100°C) • Polyglycol from about -20°C to +100°C (short term +110°C) Note: The maximum and minimum utilisation temperature (flash point, pour point) of certain gear lubricants may differ significantly from that of the figures shown.
