Safety Notes Preliminary information Safety Notes The following basic safety notes must be read carefully to prevent injury to persons and damage to property. The operator must ensure that the basic safety notes are read and observed. Make sure that persons responsible for the plant and its operation, as well as persons who work independently on the unit, have read through the operating instruc- tions carefully and understood them.
Designated use The gear units are intended for industrial systems and may only be used in accordance with the information provided in SEW-EURODRIVE's technical documentation and the information given on the nameplate. They fulfill the applicable standards and regula- tions.
Safety Notes Other applicable documentation Other applicable documentation The following publications and documents have to be observed as well: • "Explosion-Proof DR.71-225, 315 AC Motors" operating instructions for gearmotors • "Explosion-Proof CMP40/50/63 Synchronous Servomotors" operating instructions for gearmotors • Operating instructions of any attached options •...
Switch off the gearmotor if in doubt whenever changes occur in relation to normal oper- ation (e.g. increased temperature, noise, vibration). Determine the cause and contact SEW-EURODRIVE, if required. Inspection/maintenance Observe the notes in chapter "Inspection/Maintenance" (page 44).
Does the mounting position on the gear unit nameplate correspond to the indicated mounting position? 5.4 + 8 Important: The mounting position may only be changed after consultation with SEW-EURODRIVE. ATEX approval will become void without prior consultation. Are all oil check and drain plugs as well as breather plugs and valves freely accessible?

Switch off the gearmotor if in doubt whenever changes occur in relation to normal oper- ation, e.g. noises or vibrations. Determine the cause of the fault and, if necessary, con- tact SEW-EURODRIVE. Gear unit with motor adapter For gear units with an adapter, you must ensure that the data specified on the nameplate and in the project planning documents for the gear unit are not exceeded.
Startup Measuring the surface temperature Measuring the surface temperature It is absolutely necessary to measure the surface temperature at maximum load during startup of the gear unit. A commercially available thermometer is sufficient for this mea- surement. Measure the surface temperature at the transition space between gear unit and adapter or motor where the position of the terminal box prevents venting by the motor fan.

Page 47
Inspection and Maintenance Lubricant change intervals 7.3.1 Measuring the oil temperature The oil temperature must be measured to determine the lubricant change intervals stip- ulated in the section "Inspection and Maintenance". To do so, measure the temperature at the bottom of the gear unit. Add 10 K to the measured value. Use this temperature value to determine the lubricant change interval.
Designation of the mounting positions Mounting Positions Designation of the mounting positions SEW-EURODRIVE distinguishes between the gear unit mounting positions M1 to M6. The following figure shows the spatial orientation of the gear unit in mounting positions M1 to M6 with output end A: BS.F..
Mounting Positions INFORMATION Note the following information regarding the way in which shafts are depicted in the mounting position sheets: • For gear units with solid shaft: The displayed shaft is always on the A end. • For shaft-mounted gear units: The shaft with dashed lines represents the cus- tomer shaft.
(M1 – M6) specified when ordering the drive. NOTE ON EXPLOSION PROTECTION SEW-EURODRIVE fills the gear units with the amount of oil specified for the specific mounting positions. If the mounting position is changed, the amount of oil must be adapted as required.
