2. Safety warnings

•

All  work  involved  in  the  transport,  connection,

commissioning  and  maintenance  of  any  NORD

product must be carried out by qualifi ed and respon-

  sible  technicians.  All  applicable  national,  regional,

and local work regulations and safety requirements 

must  also  be  complied  with. 

NORD assumes no 

liability for personal injury, accidental death, or 

equipment damage and malfunctions resulting from 

failure to comply with installation or operating 

instructions, safety notes, or any work regulations 

  and laws!

• Gear  unit  installation  and  maintenance  work  may

only  be  performed  when  no  power  is  available  to

the  prime  mover  or  motor.  Electric  motors,

electrical  brakes,  and  variable  frequency  drives,

contain potentially dangerous high-voltage. Prior to

installation or maintenance, shut down the power at

the circuit breaker or power switch. 

While working

on the drive, make sure the power from the prime

mover is isolated or secured on “lock-out” to prevent

accidental start-up and to safeguard against injury!

• Surfaces of motors and gear units may become hot

during  operation  or  shortly  after  start-up.  In  some

instances  additional  protection  against  accidental

contact may be necessary. 

Use caution to avoid burns

or serious injury!

GENERAL WARNINGS

3. Observe published performance range

& nameplate data

Observe the data on all reducer nameplates and verify 

published  ratings  for  the  NORD  item/s  in  question. 

Do  not  operate  any  NORD  equipment  outside  the 

published  performance  range.  Failure  to  comply  may 

result in damage to the drive unit, driven machine, or 

the environment.

4. Transportation and handling

Make sure that all eyebolts and lifting lugs are tight and 

lift only at designed points.  Protect the mounting surface 

from possible damage during transportation. 

WARNING

Do  not  attach  other  machinery  or  loads  to  the  NORD 

assembly,  since  the  supplied  lifting  bolts  are  not 

designed for this purpose.

If  the  gearmotor  or  assembly  is  equipped  with  two  sus-

pension eye bolts, then both locations should be used for 

transportation and placement of the unit; in this case the 

tension force of the slings must not exceed a 45° angle. 

In some instances it may be appropriate to use additional 

lifting straps or slings in order to assure safe transportation 

of  the  assembly.  Always  use  suffi ciently  rated  handling 

equipment  and  ensure  that  adequate  safety  measures 

are  taken  to  protect  personnel  from  injury  during  trans-

portation. Once the NORD assembly is properly installed, 

remove the transportation fi xtures.
