2 SAFETY INFORMATION
2.1 SAFETY STANDARDS
Read thoroughly the instructions given in this manual and those printed directly on the gearbox,
especially those regarding safety.
● Personnel appointed to work on the gearbox at any time during its service lifetime must be trained
specifically for the purpose, must possess the necessary skills and experience, and must also be
equipped with and trained to work with the appropriate tools and personal protection equipment required
by the safety legislation applicable in the place where the gearbox/gearmotor is installed. Failure to meet
these requirements constitutes a risk to personal health and safety.
● Keep the gearbox at its maximum efficiency by scrupulously following the maintenance schedule. Proper
maintenance ensures maximum performance, extended service life and continued compliance with
safety regulations.
● When working on the gearbox in areas that are difficult to access or hazardous, ensure that adequate
safety precautions have been taken for yourself and others in compliance with applicable legislation on
occupational health and safety.
● All maintenance, inspection and repairs must only be carried out by an expert maintenance technician
fully familiar with the attendant hazards. It is therefore essential to implement operating procedures which
address potential hazards and their prevention for the entire machine in which the gearbox is installed.
Expert maintenance technicians must always work with caution and in observance of applicable safety
standards.
● When working on the gearbox, wear the clothing and personal protective equipment specified in the
manufacturer’s instructions or required by the safety legislation applicable in the place where the gearbox
is installed.
● Use only the lubricants (oil and grease) recommended by the manufacturer.
● Do not dump polluting materials into the environment. Dispose of all such materials as stipulated by
applicable legislation.
● After changing lubricants, clean the gearbox and the walk-on surfaces around the work area.
● If the gearbox has to be serviced in a poorly lit area, use additional lamps and ensure that the work is
done in compliance with all applicable safety legislation.
● During functional testing at the manufacturer’s premises, the acoustic pressure measured under full load
at a distance of 1 m from the gearbox and at 1.6 m above ground level, without vibration, was less than
85 dB(A). The gearbox is a component. The constructor of the plant or machine in which the gearbox is
installed must therefore measure the level of noise emitted by the complete machine as required by the
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The vibrations produced by the gearbox do not constitute a health risk
for personnel. Excessive vibration may be the result of a fault, and should be immediately reported and
eliminated.
If a gearbox must be serviced in a potentially explosive atmosphere, the service engineer must
first switch off power to its motor to ensure that it is out of service, and must take all necessary
precautions against it being accidentally switched on again and against connected parts moving
without warning.
All additional environmental safety precautions must also be taken (e.g. elimination of residual gas
or dust, etc).
Unless they have backstop devices, gearboxes may reverse direction. If there is any risk of
uncontrolled movement occurring in the event of a power failure (for example in load lifting
applications), measures must be put in place to prevent such movement occurring (for example by
using motors with brakes that engage automatically if the power fails).
If the gearbox is installed in a position that cannot be reached from the floor, the constructor of the
plant or machine in which it is installed must provide, as necessary, suitable means for accessing
a position from which the gearbox can be serviced.
The user is responsible for using the products recommended for the installation and maintenance
of the gearbox in an appropriate manner and in accordance with the Manufacturer’s instructions.
Before putting the gearbox into service, the user must ensure that the plant in which it is installed
complies with all applicable directives, especially those regarding health and safety at work.
The constructor of the plant or machine in which the gearbox/gearmotor is installed must protect all
rotating parts to prevent personnel coming into accidental contact and incurring a risk of crushing,
cutting or entanglement, especially if the gearbox operates automatically and in an accessible area.
● Do not use high pressure jets of water to clean the gearbox.

● Only perform work on the gearbox when it is at a standstill.
● Protect the electric motor against accidental startup (e.g. by padlocking the main power switch or
removing the power fuses). For this purpose, also affix a notice to the motor indicating that work is in
progress on the gearbox.
● Do not perform welding work on the gearbox. Do not use the gearbox as an earthing post for welding
operations because this could damage or destroy parts of the gear teeth and bearings.
● Switch off the motor immediately if any changes are noticed in the normal functioning of the gearbox,
such as an abnormal increase in operating temperature or abnormal running noise.
● If the gearbox is to be installed in a plant or machine, the constructor of the said plant or machine
is required to include the prescriptions, instructions and descriptions contained in this manual in the
operating manual for the plant or machine.
● If the gearbox is installed in situations that are particularly hazardous to personal safety, or that could
cause serious damage to equipment, or that involve high inertial loads, vibrations, etc., such as:
- suspended installations
- motors supported exclusively by the gearbox
- output shaft with shrink disc oriented downwards
suitable safety devices, such as harnesses, safety chains and restraining systems, etc. must be installed.
Depending on operating conditions, the outer surfaces of the gearbox may reach very high
temperatures. Risk of burns!
When draining spent oil as part of an oil change, always bear in mind that hot oil can cause serious
burns!
If the gearbox is equipped with a vent plug that incorporates a pressure relief valve, wait for the
oil in the gearbox to cool before removing the plug, and beware of possible jets of oil during
transport, lifting, installation, adjustment, operation, cleaning, maintenance, repair, dismantling
and scrapping.
Wait for the gearbox to cool before inspecting it.

4 HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
Personnel authorised to handle packages must take all necessary precautions to safeguard their
own safety and that of all other persons involved.
4.1 PACKAGING SPECIFICATIONS

Unless otherwise agreed, standard packaging, if supplied, is not rainproof. This type of packaging is
intended for shipping by ground and not by sea, and for storage in areas which are under cover and
not humid. The material can be stored in suitable conditions for a period of two years under cover at
a temperature within the limits specified in the chapter “ALLOWED TEMPERATURE LIMITS” and at a
relative humidity not in excess of 80%. Storage in all other conditions requires specific packaging.
In order to facilitate handling, heavy packages can be loaded on pallets.
The most frequent types of packaging are shown in the figures below.
Standard carton pallet packaging.
Horizontal packaging Vertical packaging
Special wooden crates.
On receipt of the gearbox, make sure the delivery corresponds to the purchase order and that it is
not damaged or faulty in any way. Report any problems to the Manufacturer’s sales network.
Dispose of packaging materials as stipulated by applicable legislation.
4.2 HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Handle packages according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer on the packages
themselves, if present. If the weight and shape of the packages makes manual handling unfeasible,
use special equipment to avoid damage and injury. Personnel authorised to use lifting and moving
equipment must be trained and experienced in the operations required in order to avoid risks to
themselves and other persons.
4.2.1 Moving the packages
● Prepare a suitable, delimited area with a level floor or surface for unloading the packages.
● Prepare the equipment required for handling the package. The lifting and handling equipment (e.g. crane
or lift truck) must be of adequate capacity for the weight and size of the load, taking into account its
attachment points and centre of gravity. If required, this information is indicated on the package itself.
Harness heavy packages with chains, belts and steel ropes after checking that they are suitable for the
weight of the load, which is always specified.
● When handling the load keep it level horizontally to avoid tipping and instability.
4.2.2 Moving the equipment
All the following operations must be carried out with the greatest care and attention to avoid sudden
movements during the handling of the gearbox.
When lifting the gearbox, only use accessories such as eyebolts, shackles, safety hooks, straps,
ropes and hooks, etc. that are fully certified and adequate for the load to be lifted.
Do not use eyebolts on the motor to lift gearmotors.
Miscellaneous accessories (e.g. connecting flanges, etc.) and/or motors coupled to the gearbox
may significantly alter the centre of gravity and impair stability. Use an additional lifting point in
such cases, if necessary.
During lifting operations, the load must not be allowed to swing beyond an arc of ± 15°.
If greater swinging movements occur during movement, stop and repeat the operations for the
lifting system adopted.
To rotate the gearbox, use the same attachment points used to lift it and proceed as instructed for
lifting. Rotate the gearbox as near as possible to a supporting surface. Pay special attention to
the location of the centre of gravity to prevent the load from becoming unbalanced as it is being
rotated. Lifting gear must be attached in such a way that it cannot slip off or move, as this could
cause the load to fall. This is especially important if the gearbox is being rotated using slings or
ropes, since these are particularly prone to slipping off their attachment points.
When manually lifting small size gearboxes (weighing less than 15 kg), always wear suitable
clothing as well as gloves and safety footwear.
● Identify the attachment points for lifting the gearbox, as shown in the drawings.
● Prepare the gearbox for lifting by attaching straps, hooks, etc. to its attachment points, or alternatively
use a pallet for moving the load. When using a crane, first lift the gearbox vertically out of its packaging.
● If using a fork lift or pallet truck, remove the packaging and insert the forks at the positions provided.
● Lift the load very slowly and to a limited height above the ground, and check that it is stable.
● Move the gearbox to the unloading area and lower it gently into position, taking care not to cause sudden
oscillations while moving it.
The following pages illustrate in detail the different lifting methods to be adopted for the gearbox series,
sizes and configurations described in this manual. The most suitable solution for the safe lifting and moving
of each product is shown.

If the gearbox is to be stored for more than 6 months, the following additional precautions must be taken.
5. Coat all external machined surfaces with a protective anti-corrosion product such as Shell Ensis SX (or
a product with similar properties and application range). Check the surfaces regularly and re-apply the
protective coating as necessary.
6. Fill the gearbox with lubricating oil and replace any vent plugs with blind plugs. This operation does not
apply to gearboxes that are lubricated for life (see the “LUBRICATION” section).
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN PREPARING GEARBOXES FOR SERVICE AFTER STORAGE.
Thoroughly clean the output shaft and external surfaces to remove all rustproofing products, contaminants
and other impurities (using a standard commercial solvent). Do this outside the explosion hazard area.
Do not allow solvent to come into contact with seal rings as this may damage them and cause them to leak.
If the oil or protective product used during storage is not compatible with the synthetic oil required for
service, clean out the inside of the gearbox thoroughly before filling with the service oil.
Storage for periods of over 1 year reduces the service life of bearing grease. Bearing grease must be
synthetic.
5 INSTALLATION
5.1 INSTALLING THE GEARBOX
All phases of installation and maintenance must be taken into consideration from the machine
design stage. Design personnel must, if necessary, implement a safety plan to protect the health
and safety of all persons directly involved and to ensure the rigorous application of all relevant
legislation.
It is essential for impact and stress to be avoided during the installation process.
Before installing a gearmotor, also refer to the instructions contained in the installation and user manual
for the electric motor.
Before installing the gearbox:
1. Drain out the oil used for storage if it is not the same as the oil used for normal functioning, and flush
the inside of the gearbox out thoroughly (see the “LUBRICATION” section in this manual).
2. Carefully remove all packaging and protective coatings from the gearbox suitable solvents. Take spe-
cial care when cleaning mating surfaces. Avoid getting solvents on the shaft seal rings.
3. Check that the data on the nameplate correspond to those specified in the order.
4. Ensure that the structure in which the gearbox is to be mounted is sufficiently robust and rigid to sup-
port its weight and operating forces. If normal service is likely to involve impacts, extended overloads
or possible seizures, fit the necessary hydraulic couplings, clutches, torque limiters, etc..
5. Check that the machine in which the gearbox is to be installed is switched off and cannot be acciden-
tally started up.
6. Check that all coupling surfaces are flat.
7. Check that the shaft/shaft or shaft/ bore are perfectly aligned for coupling.
8. Fit suitable guards to prevent accidental contact with rotating parts outside the gearbox.
9. If the work environment is corrosive for the gearbox or any of its parts, follow the special precautions
required for aggressive environments. Contact the manufacturer’s technical assistance service for
further details.
10. We recommend applying a protective paste such as Klüberpaste 46 MR 401 (or a product with
similar properties and application range) to all key type couplings to ensure optimal coupling
and protection against fretting corrosion. Clean all friction couplings thoroughly but do not
apply any protective pastes to them.
11. Thoroughly clean all other contact surfaces (feet, flanges, etc.) and apply a suitable protective product
to them to prevent oxidation.
12. Mechanical organs keyed on to the solid gearbox output shafts must be machined to an ISO H7 tol-
erance to prevent couplings from seizing and to prevent irreparable damage to the gearbox during
installation. To ensure effective coupling, driven shafts should be machined to the tolerances specified
in the “PREPARING CUSTOMER SHAFTS” section in this manual.
13. In outdoor installations, protect the gearbox and its motor from direct sunlight and inclement weather
by means of canopies or covers. Make sure that the assembly is properly ventilated.
14. Make sure that the casing of the gearbox is connected to the equipotential protection (earth/ground)
circuit of the machine in which it is installed.
15. Evaluate whether accessible surfaces may exceed the temperature limits established in EN ISO
13732-1 on the basis of the gearbox conditions of use and ambient temperatures; if these limits can
be easily reached or exceeded, the surfaces in question must be protected to prevent contact (by
means of guards and/or lagging). Wherever impossible, signs bearing symbol 5041 of IEC standard
60417 “Warning! Hot surfaces” must be displayed in such a way that they are clearly visible to
machine operators (bearing in mind the position and orientation of the gearbox). Refer to chapter
“ALLOWED TEMPERATURE LIMITS” for further details.
Symbol 5041 of IEC standard 60417 “Risk of burns! Hot Parts”
Proceed as follows to install the gearbox.
16. Place the gearbox in the vicinity of the installation area.

17. Mount the gearbox and secure it to the structure at the fixing points provided. Secure the gearbox to the
structure using all the fixing points on the relevant mounting (foot or flange).
18. Locate the blind service plug fitted for shipping and replace it with the vent plug included in the supply
(if relevant). Refer to the plug diagram in the “LUBRICATION” section of this manual.
19. Tighten the fixing bolts to the torque values given in the following table.

In general, 8.8 grade bolts are sufficient for correct installation. Under particularly harsh operating condi-
tions, grade 10.9 bolts can also be used.
If grade 10.9 bolts are used, make sure that the structure in which they are fitted is of adequate strength.
Do not use bolts graded higher than 8.8 to install gearboxes with mounting elements (casing, flange or foot)
made from aluminium.
20. Fill the gearbox with oil or top up as necessary, as instructed in the “LUBRICATION” section in this
manual.
21. Check that all service plugs are tightened to the torque values given in the following table.

Installing ATEX-specified gearboxes
• Category 2D gearboxes must be installed in compliance with the provisions of standards EN 1127-1, EN
61241-14 and EN 61241-17. Installation technicians must be fully qualified to work in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
• Installation technicians must be aware of the ATEX classification of the installation area, must understand
the risks associated with potentially explosive atmospheres with particular reference to explosion and fire
hazards, and must adopt all necessary safety precautions.
• All maintenance, assembly and disassembly work must be done by specialist personnel outside the
explosion hazard area.
• Check that all accessory components (cables, joints, cable clamps, heat exchangers, etc.) also comply
with the requirements of the ATEX directive. Handle all components with extreme care to avoid altering
their characteristics.
• For gearboxes series C and F remove the sealing bolts from the threaded holes needed to install the
gearbox. Take care not to damage the mating surfaces.
• For A series gearboxes in category 2D, insert the supplied screws into the threaded holes not used for
fixing the gearbox (eg. Provision for output flange). The screws should be placed “flush” on the surface
and locked with Loctite 510, or similar product for properties and application range. Take care not to
damage the mating surfaces.
• When installing gearboxes with reaction arms, make sure that no sliding movement is generated between
metallic parts when the gearbox is functioning. If necessary, fit non-metallic anti-friction elements
conforming to Directive 2014/34/EU between moving metal parts.
• Do not connect any object with an electrical resistance greater than 109 Ω to the gearbox.
• Install guards to prevent hazardous accumulations of dust and liquids at the seals of protruding shafts and
to protect them mechanically.
• The gearbox input speed (or the speed of the motor coupled to it) must not exceed n1=1500 min-1 for
series C and F gearboxes. For series A gearboxes input speed must not exceed the speed shown on the
name plate.
• When installing a gearmotor with the electric motor arranged vertically with its shaft facing down, the
motor must be covered by a protective canopy.
• The output shaft and any pulleys or other transmission components must be perfectly aligned.
• Only install the gearbox with the motor version and in the mounting position specified in the order. Shaft-
mounted gearboxes can be installed with a tolerance of ± 5° to the theoretical plane of installation.
• If the gearbox is supplied without lubricant it must be installed as it is and only filled with lubricant on
completion of installation.
• Secure the gearbox to a flat, vibration-free surface capable of bearing the torsional stresses it produces in
service. Take care not to deform mating surfaces, mounting feet or flanges by over-tightening fixing bolts.
• Use bolts graded no lower than 8.8 for mounting the gearbox. For heavy duty installations 10.9 grade
bolts can be used. Do not use bolts graded higher than 8.8 to install gearboxes with mounting elements
(casing, flange or foot) made from aluminium. See the “INSTALLING THE GEARBOX” section in this
manual for tightening torque values. To stop mounting bolts becoming loose, apply Loctite 510 (or a
product with similar properties and application range) to the threads of all bolts securing the gearbox to
the machine structure and to the electric motor, also apply it to the threads of all the oil plugs (even on
those eventually removed for oil level check, before their relocation).
• Make sure that overhung and thrust loads and operating torques do not exceed those for which the
gearbox is specified.
• Make sure that the vent plugs and oil level plugs are easy to access for inspection.
• Clean the gearbox thoroughly after installation.
5.1.1 Gearboxes with solid shafts (input and output)
Do not use hammers or other tools which might damage the gearbox shafts or bearings to fit ex-
ternal parts. Proceed as shown below, following the recommendations given in the “INSTALLING
CONNECTING ELEMENTS” section in this manual:
Bolt (1) and spacer (2) shown above are not included in the supply.
To minimise the loads on the shaft bearings, when mounting transmission mechanisms with asymmetrical
hubs use the configuration shown in diagram (A) below:
(A)
5.1.2 Gearboxes with hollow output shaft and keyway or with splined hollow output shaft
Proceed as shown in the following diagram to couple gearboxes with a hollow output shaft to solid machine
shafts. See also the “PREPARING CUSTOMER SHAFTS” section in this manual.
The tie bolt (1) and spacer (2) are not included in the consignment.
5.1.3 Gearboxes with shrink disc
Certain gearboxes may be equipped with a shrink disc for coupling the hollow output shaft to the driven
shaft. Proceed as follows to install a gearbox of this type.
1. Remove the protective guard
2. Loosen the shrink disc locking bolts gradually one at a time without completely removing them. Remove
the entire shrink disc.
OK!
Clean and carefully degrease the mating surfaces on the gearbox output
shaft and the machine shaft.
Do not apply molybdenum disulphide or any other grease to these mating
surfaces as this could significantly reduce friction and impair the perfor-
mance of the shrink disc. On the other hand, take care not to remove the
grease from the parts shown on the shrink disc.
To facilitate removal, we recommend that you apply a film of protective paste such as Klüberpaste
46 MR 401 (or a product with similar properties and application range) to the cylindrical alignment
surface opposite the shrink disc.
3. Fit the gearbox to the machine and couple its output shaft to the driven shaft.
4. Fit the shrink disc to the gearbox shaft.
5. Fully tighten the shrink disc bolts gradually and one at a time in a clockwise sequence using a torque
wrench. This operation usually has to be repeated several times to reach the tightening torque Mt
specified in the table below.
(tab 3)

Mt [Nm] 8.5 14.5 14.5 14.5 14.5 14.5 35 35 69 69
Torque the shrink disc as prescribed to assure axial fixing of the transmission, in the absence of external
loads.
6. Finally, fit the protective cover and tighten the screws.
For ATEX-specified gearboxes fit the protective cover applying a layer of sealant such as Loctite
5366 (or a product with similar properties and application range) to the centering and the frontal
mating surfaces and tighten the bolts applying on these Loctite 510 (or a product with similar
properties and application range).
In the presence of external thrust loads, vibration, safety problems, requirements for enhanced re-
liability, or unfavourable mounting positions (e.g. output shaft directed downwards), install suitable
devices to secure the shaft in an axial direction and prevent accidental decoupling.
The shrink disc coupling must not be disassembled or lubricated before being reinstalled.
Only disassemble and clean the shrink disc if it becomes dirty.
When cleaning and/or during maintenance, only lubricate the internal sliding surfaces of the shrink
disc using a solid lubricant with a friction value of µ = 0.04, such as Klüber Molybkombin UMF T4 (or
a product offering equivalent performance and durability).
Never run the gearbox when the shrink disc protective guard is not fitted.
5.1.4 Gearboxes with adapter bushes

a) Thoroughly clean and degrease the mating surfaces of the machine shaft, gearbox output shaft (1),
elastic bush (2), stop bush (3) and shrink disc (4), with the shrink disc removed from its hub.
Do not apply molybdenum disulphide or any other grease to the mating surfaces of the shrink disc
as this could significantly reduce friction and impair the performance of the shrink disc.
b) Fit the stop bush (3) and tightening clamp into the seat in the gearbox shaft on the side on which the shaft
protrudes least.
c) Fit the gearbox complete with stop bush over the driven shaft and slide it down to the required position.
d) Fit the elastic bush (2) to the driven shaft and push it firmly into its seat in the gearbox hollow shaft.
e) Tighten the bolt (5) in the collar of the stop bush (3) to a torque of 6 Nm.
f) Loosen the bolts of the shrink disc and fit it over the output shaft protruding from the gearbox. Tighten the
bolts again without applying excessive force and check that the shrink disc is correctly aligned with the hub.
g) Use a torque wrench to tighten the shrink disc bolts, applying the same force and proceeding around the disc.
Reach the final torque value in three stages of gradual tightening. Respect the tightening torque
values specified in the table.

h) Finally, fit the protective cover (6) and tighten the screws (7).
5.2 ANCHORING THE TORQUE ARM
For shaft-mounted solutions, on request, the gearbox can be equipped with a torque arm.
This device comes complete with an anti-vibration bush (included in the supply) and is specifically de-
signed and sized for the purpose. As such it offers the best possible guarantee of correct functioning for
the assembly.
The machine shaft must be able to support the gearbox radially and axially. The torque arm must
fit without stress.
The torque bolt must be fitted on the side of the gearbox next to the driven machine. Supporting
surfaces should be hardened and tempered (minimum hardness 58 HRC, with case hardening to a
minimum depth of 0.6 mm), smoothed and ground if possible. Nitriding is an alternative treatment
that guarantees a base material capable of resisting compression and scoring.
If safety is at risk and/or maximum reliability is required, install suitable devices to stop the gearbox
rotating or breaking free if the torque arm or machine shaft should break.
Anchoring reaction arms for ATEX-specified F Series shaft-mounted gearboxes
Use the original vibration damping kit to ensure optimal functioning of the assembly, since it is specially
designed and sized for use with the gearbox in explosion hazard areas.
Failure to use the original vibration damping kit with ATEX-specified gearboxes invalidates their ATEX
homologation.

5.3 TACONITE SEALS (option TKL)

Taconite seals are recommended for environments characterised by the presence of abrasive dust or pow-
ders. Taconite seals incorporate a combination of sealing rings, labyrinths and grease chambers.
At the intervals specified in the «ROUTINE MAINTENANCE» section in this manual, inject about 30 grams
of grease for rolling contact bearings through the grease nipples.
5.4 INSTALLING AN ELECTRIC MOTOR WITH AN IEC STANDARD FLANGE OR A SERVOMOTOR FOR
AN SK TYPE INPUT
• Thoroughly clean and degrease all the mating surfaces between the motor and the gearbox (shafts and
flanges).
• Do not force the surfaces together or use inappropriate tools to couple them. Take care not to damage the
flat and/or cylindrical mating surfaces.
• Do not strain the coupling shafts with large thrust or overhung loads.
• To facilitate assembly, use a synthetic oil-based lubricating paste such as Klüberpaste 46 MR 401 (or a
product with similar properties and application range).
• Tighten all the motor/gearbox fixing bolts to their prescribed torques. See the “INSTALLING THE GEAR-
BOX” section in this manual for tightening torque values.
When the gearbox is to be coupled to a standard electric motor conforming to IEC 60072-1, proceed as
follows.
• Apply a layer of sealant such as Loctite 510 (or a product with similar properties and application range)
to the motor/gearbox coupling flanges, to the alignment ring and the frontal mating surfaces as shown in
the figure below.
1. Apply Loctite 510 to the flat surface

of the flange and to the alignment
ring.
2. Apply Klüberpaste 46MR401 to the
inside of the gearbox input shaft and
to the motor shaft.
3. Seal the join between the gearbox
and the motor with Loctite 5366, tak-
ing care to fill any gaps between the
two flanges (e.g. recesses for decou-
pling the units).
• With the motor coupled to the gearbox, apply a film of sealant such as Loctite 5366 (or a product with
similar properties and application range) around the edges of the flanges to seal any gaps between their
surfaces.
• If the output shaft is also equipped with a flange, the user must take similar precautions to prevent dust
accumulating in the gaps between the flanges or in the vicinity of moving couplings.
5.5 INSTALLING AN ELECTRIC MOTOR WITH A SHRINK DISC OR A SERVOMOTOR FOR AN SC TYPE
INPUT
1. Thoroughly clean and degrease all the mating surfaces between the motor and the gearbox (shafts and
flanges).
Do not apply molybdenum disulphide or any other grease to the mating surfaces of the motor and
gearbox shafts, as this could significantly reduce friction and impair the performance of the shrink
disc.
2. Do not force the surfaces together or use inappropriate tools to couple them. Take care not to damage
the flat and/or cylindrical mating surfaces.
3. Avoid straining rotary coupling mechanisms with large thrust or overhung loads.
4. Remove the key from the motor shaft (if fitted).
5. Position the gearbox vertically with the adapter flange facing up.
6. Remove the cap from the hole in the adapter flange and turn the shrink disc until the head of the locking
bolt lines up with the hole.
7. Orient the motor shaft so that the keyway aligns with the groove in the gearbox shaft and the shrink disc.
8. Couple the flanges of the motor and gearbox, making sure that they make close contact. Do not apply
excessive force.
9. Apply a small amount of threadlock such as Loctite 243 to the fixing bolts. Fit the bolts and tighten them
to the torque values given in the “INSTALLING THE GEARBOX” section.
10. Using a torque wrench calibrated to the correct torque setting, tighten the shrink disc locking bolt to the
torque specified in the table below:
(tab 5)
Clamping device Tightening torque

9 M5 8 - 9.3
11 - 14 - 19 - 24 M6 13.8 - 16.1
32 - 38 M8 33.3 - 38.9
11. Put the plug back in the hole in the adapter flange.
If the gearbox is installed in situations that are particularly hazardous to personal safety, install
suitable safety devices, such as harnesses, safety chains and restraining systems, etc.,
5.6 INSTALLING CONNECTING ELEMENTS
Use the utmost caution when installing the various components, to ensure that no damage is caused to the
gearbox and its parts, such as oil seals and mating surfaces, or internal parts such as gears and bearings.
Make sure that you have access to suitable lifting equipment to perform the installation operations
correctly.
When installing external transmission parts do not use hammers or other unsuitable tools, to avoid
the risk of damaging the gearbox shafts or supports.
When installing connecting elements it is advisable to preheat them slightly. Take the following precautions
when doing so:
Adopt protection against contact with hot parts: risk of burns!
Protect the oil seals from damage and accidental overheating to avoid impairing their functionality
(use a heat shield to protect against radiated heat).
The connecting or transmission elements must not transmit static or dynamic external loads to the
shafts unless said loads have been calculated at the time of gearbox selection.
If the element to be coupled to the shaft is not fixed axially by the interference of the coupling, utilise suita-
ble retaining components to prevent axial movement of the element in question on the shaft.
5.7 BACKSTOP DEVICE (optional variants AL, AR)
The backstop device ensures that the gearbox only turns in one direction, and prevents reverse movement
caused by the load applied to the output shaft. The device consists of a caged free wheel mechanism with
sprags.
In certain cases the backstop device can transmit less torque than the gearbox. Consult the sales
catalogue for detailed information on this subject.
Before putting the gearbox into service, ensure that the output shaft turns freely in the required direction of
travel without having to apply excessive force.
It is essential to prevent the motor from rotating in the wrong direction to avoid damaging the back-
stop device or the gear train.
5.8 PAINTING AND SURFACE PROTECTION

Gearboxes when no specific protection class is requested, if equipped with cast-iron housing are supplied
with the housing painted in factory (GREY RAL 7042). The painted (ferrous) surfaces are protected to at
least corrosivity class C2 (UNI EN ISO 12944-2). Aluminium casings are not painted.
In the following table, the types and sizes of gearboxes that are painted are shown in grey.
(tab 6)
C 05 C 12 C 22 C 32 C 36 C 41 C 51 C 61 C 70 C 80 C 90 C 100

F 10 F 20 F 25 F 31 F 41 F 51 F 60 F 70 F 80 F 90
S 10 S 20 S30 S 40 S 50
Through dedicated options (C3, C4) may be requested specific painting treatments for improved
resistance to atmospheric corrosion, obtained by painting the complete gearbox and available in various
colours.
If the gearbox has to be painted, protect the nameplate and seal rings against contact with paint
and solvent.
Do not paint the mating surfaces that will be used for the final installation (foot or flanges). If mat-
ing surfaces are painted, carefully check that the gearbox is rigidly mounted and that its shafts are
correctly aligned on completion of the installation.
Contact the manufacturer’s technical assistance service before painting any control devices fitted
to the gearbox.
5.9 LUBRICATION
Gearboxes can be supplied with or without lubricant, as shown in table 7, or as specified by the
customer.
On gearboxes with an oil level plug, check the oil level before starting up the gearbox. As with filling, this
operation must be done with the gearbox in the mounting position in which it will be used in the application.
If necessary, fill or top up the lubricant to the half way point in the level window, to the reference notch on
the dipstick, or until it starts to flow out of the plug hole.
The charts on the following pages show the position of the service plugs.
The lubricant utilised must be new and uncontaminated and can be poured in through the filler hole or from
the inspection cover opening using a filler filter with 25 µm mesh, ensuring that the relative gasket is refitted
without damaging it or reapplying the sealant to provide a perfectly oil-tight fit.
Gearboxes that are lubricated for life and not subject to external contamination do not normally
require periodic lubricant changes. The following table identifies the gearboxes that are supplied
with synthetic “for life” lubricant.

Do not mix oils of different makes or specifications. Make sure also that the oil is highly resistant
to foaming and is EP (Extreme Pressure) rated.
If you do not have the same type of oil, completely drain the gearbox and flush it out thoroughly with the
new oil to remove all traces of the old oil and any contaminants from inside the casing before filling the
gearbox with the new oil.
C12, C22 and C32 helical in-line gearboxes and A05 bevel helical gearboxes are not equipped with
oil level plugs.
A30 and A35 bevel helical gearboxes are not equipped with oil level plugs only in mounting posi-
tions B6 and B7.
For further information on these types of gearbox, refer to the “SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion of this manual.
Before installing these gearboxes, check the oil level as instructed below.
1. Position the gearbox in the mounting position for which it is designed. Wait 10 minutes for the oil level to
stabilise inside the casing.
2. Insert a rod into the hole shown and measure the distance between the surface of the oil and the outside
edge of the casing. The oil level must conform to the value, expressed in mm, specified for the type of
gearbox and the mounting position in which it is to be installed.
3. If the distance measured is greater than that prescribed, top up the oil to the correct level specified in
this manual.
On all other gearboxes, oil level can be checked by removing the oil level check plug and checking that the
oil spills from the bottom edge of the hole.
Only use recommended oils to fill and top up the gearbox.

5.9.2 Quantity of lubricant
The quantities of lubricant specified in the tables are purely indicative.

Gearboxes with level plugs correctly located for the mounting position must be filled to the mid
point of the sight glass, or to the reference notch on the dipstick, or until oil starts to flow out of the
plug hole, depending on the type of level plug.
In the case of gearboxes normally supplied lubricated for life (see table 7), but supplied without lubricant
and with no level plug, consult the manufacturer’s technical assistance service.

ATEX versions of C, A and F Series gearboxes are supplied with lubricant, with the exceptions shown in table
7. Oil quantities are therefore not specified for these gearboxes. If necessary, contact the manufacturer’s
technical assistance service for details.
Before installing the gearbox and putting it into service, always check the oil level as instructed in the
“SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE” section of this manual.
The following tables list the quantities of lubricant required for ATEX versions of A and F Series gearboxes
supplied without lubricant (see table 7).
The quantities of lubricant specified in the tables are purely indicative.

In this case too, before installing the gearbox and putting it into service, check the
oil level as instructed in the “SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE” section of this manual.

To facilitate disassembly, provide a machine shaft with a hole through which an anti-corrosion fluid can be
injected (see figure US).
In the presence of external thrust loads, vibration, safety issues, enhanced reliability requirements, or
unfavourable mounting positions (e.g. B6 with the output shaft facing downwards), install suitable devices
to secure the shaft axially and prevent accidental decoupling.

5.11 PUTTING THE GEARBOX INTO SERVICE
The gearbox has been tested in the factory by the manufacturer.
Before starting it up, make sure:

● That the machine or part of the machine in which the the gearbox/gearmotor is to be installed has
been declared to conform to the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and to any other
relevant and applicable safety standards.
● That the gearbox mounting position in the installation corresponds to that prescribed and indicated on the
nameplate
● It is expressly forbidden to install the gearbox at an angle without having consulted and obtained
authorisation from the manufacturer’s technical service. A tolerance of ± 5° with respect to the theoretical
plane of installation is permitted only for shaft mounted installations.
● That the electrical power supply is suitable and operational as prescribed in EN 60204-1 and is correct
grounded
● That the rating of the power supply to the motor and any installed electrical devices corresponds to that
prescribed and is within ±10% of the rated value.
● That the oil level in the gearbox/gearmotor and any lubricated accessories is as required and that there
are no leaks from any plugs, seals or pipes.
● That any parts and/or accessories disconnected for transport purposes have been reconnected.
● That any of original guards removed for transport purposes have been refitted.
On startup of the gearbox/gearmotor:

● Check that there are no unusual noises and/or vibrations.
● After the first 100 hours of operation, check the tightening torque of all bolt couplings:
- shrink discs
- machine side flanges
- motor flanges
- supports
Before putting the gearbox into service, make sure that:

● Assembly will not be carried out in a potentially explosive atmosphere (oil, acid, gas, vapour, radiation)
and that dust deposits on the gearbox do not exceed 5 mm in depth.
● Clean the gearbox thoroughly after installation.
● The oil level, drain and vent plugs are all easily accessible.
● All guards designed to prevent accidental contact between operators and rotating parts, and all oil seals,
are fully efficient.
● Gearboxes with hollow shafts, with or without shrink disc, have been correctly mounted.
● All types of accessory installed on the gearbox are ATEX specified and have been installed in accordance
with ATEX requirements.
During service make sure that:

● The gearbox is sufficiently ventilated and that it is not subject to radiation from external heat sources.
● The temperature of the cooling air does not exceed 40°C.
Measuring the gearbox surface temperature
• The gearbox maximum surface temperature depends on motor speed, transmission ratio and motor
version, but must never exceed the value stated on the nameplate.
• The maximum surface temperature specified on the nameplate refers to measurements made in normal
ambient and correct installation conditions. Even minimal variations in these conditions (e.g. smaller
mounting compartments) may have a significant effect on heat dissipation.
• When putting the gearbox into service, the surface temperature must be measured in the same conditions
as those in which the gearbox will operate. The surface temperature must be measured at the coupling
between the gearbox and motor, and at the points which are most shielded from the forced ventilation
provided by the motor fan.
Temperature
measurement area
IMPORTANT:
Maximum surface temperature is reached after 3 hours operation at full load. Maximum surface
temperature measured at these points must not exceed ambient temperature by more than 75 K
(ΔT).
If the temperature differential exceeds this value, stop the gearbox at once and contact the
manufacturer’s technical assistance service.
• If the temperature differential lies within the above value, wait for the gearbox to cool down and then
install the heat sensor included in the supply at the point of maximum temperature.
Example:
• Check that the gearbox functions normally (no unusual vibrations and/or noise).
● Provided all the above checks have been completed positively, and provided all the instructions
in this manual have been strictly observed, an electric motor with ATEX rating equal to or higher
than that of the gearbox may be installed to form a gearmotor that complies with the provisions
of Directive 2014/34/EU.
● If, on the other hand, the motor and gearbox have been coupled in a way other than that prescribed
in this manual, or if one or more of the instructions provided in this manual has been ignored, the
user must perform a risk assessment specific to the motor-gearbox coupling.
● Risk assessment is mandatory if the motor is to be powered by an inverter. Only if this is done
and self-certification issued by the assembler will the complete assembly in which the gearbox is
installed conform to the requirements of Directive 2014/34/EU. The inverter control system must
not allow the motor to exceed the gearbox maximum input speed (n1=1500 min-1) or to generate
overloads under any circumstances.
6 MAINTENANCE
Maintenance and replacement work must be carried out by expert maintenance technicians trained
in the observance of applicable laws on health and safety at work and the special ambient problems
attendant on the installation. In order to maintain the proper functioning and safety of the gearbox/
gearmotor, we recommend that users have non-routine maintenance performed by the Manufacturer
or an authorised, specialist service centre. Contact the manufacturer’s sales network. Failure to
comply with this requirement during the warranty period automatically invalidates the warranty.
Never improvise repairs.
Before doing any work on the unit, the operator must first switch off power to the gearbox and ensure
that it is out of service, as well as taking all necessary precautions against it being accidentally
switched on again or its parts moving without warning (due to suspended loads or similar external
factors).
Furthermore, all additional environmental safety precautions must be taken (e.g. elimination of
residual gas or dust, etc.).
• Disconnect power to the machine in which the gearbox is installed before commencing any maintenance
work, and secure all switches in the OFF position. All persons performing maintenance must secure the
disconnecting switches for themselves, using personal devices (e.g. padlocks) the keys of which they
must keep with them for the duration of the work.
• Ensure surfaces have cooled before commencing work. If necessary, wear anti-burn safety gloves when
working on gearboxes. Refer to chapter “ALLOWED TEMPERATURE LIMITS” for further details.
• Before commencing any maintenance work, activate all the safety devices provided and, if necessary,
inform persons working in the vicinity. Cordon off the area around the gearbox and prevent access to any
equipment which, if activated, might be the cause of unexpected health and safety hazards.
• Replace worn components with original spare parts.
• Use only recommended lubricants (oil and grease).
• When working on the gearbox, always replace all gaskets and seals with original new ones.
• If a bearing requires replacement, it is good practice to replace the other bearing on the same shaft as
well.
• Change the oil after completing maintenance work.
• If, during work, there is any risk of coming into contact with oils and greases, respect the safety precautions
provided on the manufacturer’s data sheets and use all items of personal protective equipment specified
therein.
• When performing any maintenance of repair, always check the tightening torque of shrink disc bolts on
the drive shaft. For the correct values, see the “INSTALLING AN ELECTRIC MOTOR WITH A SHRINK
DISC” section in this manual.
If the gearbox is not going to be used for a prolonged period following installation or run-in, it must be
run at least once a month. If this is not possible, the gearbox must be protected against corrosion with a
suitable rust inhibitor, or completely filled with new oil of the type normally utilised for operating duty. (See
the “STORAGE” section in this manual.)
The above instructions are aimed at ensuring the efficient and safe operation of the gearbox.
The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or damage to components due to the use of
non-original spare parts or non-routine work that compromises safety requirements without express prior
authorisation. Refer to the specific spare parts catalogue when ordering spare parts for the gearbox.
Do not disperse contaminant liquids, worn parts and maintenance residues in the environment.
Dispose of all such substances in strict compliance with applicable statutory legislation.
• Respect scheduled inspection and maintenance intervals to ensure the correct functioning of the gearbox
and the effectiveness of the explosion protection.
• Allow the gearbox to cool down completely before servicing or repairing internal components in order to
avoid burns from hot internal parts.
• On completion of maintenance work, make sure that all safety devices have been applied and reset.
• Clean the gearbox thoroughly after maintenance or repair.
• On completion of maintenance, tighten all vent, filler and level plugs to the torque values specified in the
“INSTALLING THE GEARBOX” section of this manual.
• Apply fresh Loctite 510 paste (or a product with similar properties and application range) to all
disassembled threads (bolts and plugs).
• On completion of any maintenance work, renew all seals and re-apply sealing compound as specified.
On gearboxes with double seal rings, the space between the two rings must be packed with synthetic
grease such as Fluorocarbon 880 ITP gel (or a product with similar properties and application range).
• Regardless of the type of gearbox, whenever a seal ring is replaced, its lips should be smeared with a thin
layer of grease such as Fluorocarbon 880 ITP gel (or a product with similar properties and application
range) before it is fitted.
• Use only original spare parts for repairs.
6.1 CHECKING OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

● Periodically remove any dust from the gearbox and motor casings.
● Check that the noise generated at constant load does not vary. Excessive vibration or noise can indicate
wear of the gear train or failure of a bearing.
● Check power absorption and voltage against the nominal values given on the motor’s nameplate.
● On brake motors, check the friction surfaces and friction material for wear and adjust the gap if necessary.
● Check for lubricant leaks from the gaskets/seals, plugs, casings and pipes.
● Check that temperature does not rise above normal operating levels (refer to chapter “ALLOWED
TEMPERATURE LIMITS”) unless this is justified by a corresponding increase in the applied load,
rotation speed, ambient temperature or other factor. If temperature rises, stop the gearbox immediately
and identify the cause of the fault.
● Check all bolt couplings for wear, deformation and corrosion and tighten the bolts correctly, without
exceeding the torque values specified in the “INSTALLING THE GEARBOX” section in this manual.
6.2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Respect the manufacturer’s routine maintenance schedule to keep the gearbox at peak efficiency.
Good maintenance ensures maximum gearbox performance, extended service life and continued
compliance with safety regulations.
List of routine checks

We recommend keeping a checklist of inspections so that any changes in individual control parameters can
be identified rapidly and easily.
The times indicated in the following tables vary significantly in relation to the conditions of use of
the gearbox and must be construed as valid in the absence of other types of problems.
Depending on the temperature reached by the lubricant, it should be replaced at the intervals indicated in
the table below.

For installations in zones 21 and 22, the user must schedule and implement a regular cleaning
programme for all surfaces and recesses to avoid dust build-ups of more than 5 mm in depth.
Every 100 hours of operation or every 2 weeks:
• Measure the surface temperature at the coupling between the gearbox and motor, and at the points most
shielded from the forced ventilation provided by the motor’s fan. Maximum surface temperature measured
at these points must not exceed ambient temperature by more than 75 K (ΔT), and this temperature
differential must not have been exceeded in service. Check the condition of the heat sensor installed
previously.
Example:
Limit temperature exceeded Limit temperature NOT exceeded
Also check that high temperatures are not being generated at the gearbox bearings.
Every 1000 hours of operation or every 6 months:

• Check the oil level according to the tables provided in the “LUBRICATION” section of this manual and
according to the figures below.
• Check that there are no signs of lubricant leaks near the gearbox.
• If any anomalies are found, identify their cause, make the necessary repairs, and top up the
lubricant level before putting the gearbox back into service.
Every 3000 hours of operation:

• On gearboxes with reaction arms, check that the polymer bushes are not aged or damaged. If the bushes
show any sign of fatigue or damage, replace them with original spare parts.
Every 5000 hours of operation:

• Change the synthetic oil and bearing grease if the gearbox is not lubricated for life.
• Replace all externally accessible seal rings unless this has already been done as a result of problems
occurring before the scheduled maintenance was due.
Every 5000 hours of operation at rated torque

(The minimum overhaul interval specified here may increase considerably, depending on actual service
cycles. See the table below).
• General overhaul of the gearbox, if not performed earlier as a result of malfunctioning (Overhaul consists
of the replacement of all bearings and/or other mechanical components showing signs of wear that might
compromise the functioning of the gearbox).

Gearboxes are normally fitted with yellow oil level plugs. Level plugs may be of the spill type or may require
a dipstick (not supplied) to be inserted. In other cases, yellow level plugs have dipsticks incorporated.
To check the oil level using a spill type level plug, first identify the yellow level plug. Remove the plug and
insert into the hole a rod of suitable size and of the shape shown in the figure.
If the level is more than 3 mm below the spill level, top up and check the reason for the drop in oil level.
N.B. Make sure that the

dipstick rests firmly on the
edge of the threaded hole.
If the level plug has a dipstick incorporated, simply identify it by its yellow colour, remove it, and check that
the level lies between the MIN. and MAX. markings.
If the level lies outside these marks, restore the correct level and identify the causes of the incorrect level.
The correct method for checking oil level by inserting a rod (not supplied) through the yellow level plug is
described on the following pages.
It may be necessary to remove the gearbox in order to place it in the correct position.
Refer to the figures on the following pages for further information.
C 12, C 22 and C 32 helical in-line gearboxes (all mounting positions) do not have a spill type oil level plug.
On these gearboxes, oil level must be checked through a dedicated hole as instructed below.

Values in the table are expressed in mm.
To check the oil level, proceed as follows:
1. Place the gearbox in its mounting position as shown in the figure.

2. Insert a dipstick through the service plug (the yellow plug at the top of the gearbox) until it touches the
floor of the casing. Mark the level of the upper surface of the casing on the dipstick in this position.
3. Remove the dipstick and measure the distance X shown in the figure.
4. The value of X measured in this way must be less than the value specified in the table.
A 05 bevel helical gearboxes (all mounting positions) and A 30 and A 35 bevel helical gearboxes (mounting

Values in the table are expressed in mm.
To check the oil level, proceed as follows:
1. Place the gearbox in its mounting position as shown in the figure.

2. Insert a dipstick through the service plug (the yellow plug at the top of the gearbox) until it touches the
floor of the casing. Mark the level of the upper surface of the casing on the dipstick in this position.
3. Remove the dipstick and measure the distance X shown in the figure.
4. The value of X measured in this way must be less than the value specified in the table.
6.3 OIL CHANGES
1. Place a suitable container under the drain plug.

2. Remove the filler and drain plugs and allow the oil to drain out.
3. Wait for a few minutes to ensure all the oil has drained out. Thoroughly clean the drain plug magnet (if
fitted), fit a new seal and refit the drain plug.
4. With the gearbox installed in its final mounting position, fill it with oil to the mid point of the sight glass, or
to the reference notch on the dipstick, or until oil starts to flow out of the level hole. Restore the type of
oil indicated on the nameplate. Refer to chapter “Lubrication” for further details.
5. Fit a new seal, replace and tighten the filler plug.
Apply Loctite 510 (or a product with similar properties and application range) on the thread of
plugs.
See the “LUBRICATION” section in this manual for details of the quantity of oil required. Specified
quantities are only approximate. Gearboxes must be filled to the mid point of the sight glass, or to
the reference notch on the dipstick, or until oil starts to flow out of the oil level hole, according to
the mounting position specified on order.
Lubricants, solvents and detergents are toxic/harmful to health:

- they may cause irritation in direct contact with the skin
- they may cause intoxication if inhaled
- they may be fatal if swallowed.
Handle them with care using suitable personal protection equipment. Do not dump them into the
environment and dispose of in accordance with applicable legislation.
If a leak is found, identify the cause of the fault and repair it before topping up the lubricant and
operating the unit.
6.4 CLEANING
To clean dust, dirt and process residues off the gearbox, do not use solvents or other products that might
be incompatible with the materials from which it is made, and do not direct high pressure jets of water on
to the gearbox.
7 REMOVAL
7.1 REMOVING A MOTOR WITH AN IEC STANDARD FLANGE

If the mobile coupling between the motor and the gearbox has not rusted badly during service, it should be
possible to remove the motor without applying excessive force once the screws coupling it to the gearbox
have been removed.
If it proves difficult to remove the motor, do not use screwdrivers or levers to apply force as this may
damage the flanges and mating surfaces. Proceed as illustrated below instead.
Drill and thread (as necessary)
Impact extractor
1. Drill and thread the fan end of the drive shaft if it is not already threaded.
2. Screw in an impact extractor.
3. Undo the bolts fixing the motor to the gearbox.
4. Use the impact extractor to detach the motor.
7.2 REMOVING A GEARBOX WITH HOLLOW OUTPUT SHAFT AND KEYWAY OR WITH SPLINED
HOLLOW OUTPUT SHAFT
● Remove the device that secures the gearbox axially.
On A Series gearboxes, the machine shaft can be extracted in-situ using a hydraulic puller or the device
shown in the figure below.

7.3 REMOVING A GEARBOX WITH HOLLOW OUTPUT SHAFT AND SHRINK DISC
● Remove the protective cover and gradually loosen all the bolts on the shrink disc, proceeding around the
shrink disc. Do not remove the bolts completely!
● Extract the machine shaft as instructed in the section “REMOVING A GEARBOX WITH A HOLLOW
OUTPUT SHAFT AND KEYWAY OR SPLINED HOLLOW OUTPUT SHAFT” in this manual.
Alternatively, on A 90 and F 90 gearboxes, the machine shaft can be removed using the threaded holes in
the end of the output shaft, as shown in the figure below.

7.4 REMOVING A GEARBOX WITH ADAPTER BUSHES

a) Remove the protective cover and gradually loosen all the bolts on the shrink disc, proceeding in a circular
direction. Do not remove the bolts completely!
b) Once the coupling force has been released, the gearbox can be removed by sliding it off the machine
shaft.
7.5 REMOVING AN ELECTRIC MOTOR WITH A SHRINK DISC

• Loosen the bolts on the shrink disc.
• Undo the bolts fixing the motor to the gearbox.
• Remove the motor, without applying excessive force.
If the mobile coupling between the motor and gearbox has not rusted significantly during service, it should
be possible to remove the motor without applying excessive force.
If it proves difficult to remove the motor, do not use screwdrivers or levers to apply force as this may
damage the flanges and mating surfaces. Contact the manufacturer’s technical assistance service instead.
8 TROUBLESHOOTING
The following information is intended to serve as an aid in locating and eliminating defects and faults. In
some cases, such problems may be caused by the plant or machine to which the gearbox is assembled
and hence, the cause and remedy will be described in the Manufacturer’s technical documentation for the
machine/plant in question.
If any components fail or require replacement as a result of levels of wear likely to compromise the
functioning of the gearbox, contact the Manufacturer’s sales network.
