Storage

Store the gearhead in horizontal position and dry surroundings at a temperature of 0 °C to +40 °C 
in the original packaging. Store the gearhead for a maximum of 2 years.
For storage logistics, we recommend the "first in – first out" method.

2.7

Checking the tightening torques

Check the tightening torque of the fastening screws on the gearhead housing.

For LPB

+

 –gearheads, also check the fastening screws on the toothed belt pulley.

Check the tightening torque of the threaded pin on the motor mounting.

The prescribed tightening torque can be found in  3 "Technical data sheets" in this manual.

Malfunctions

Unusual operating behavior (noise, heat, vibration) can be an indication of faulty assembly, 
improper dimensioning, or technical defects.

Do not put the gearhead back into operation until the cause of the malfunction has been 
rectified.

Solvents and lubricants can pollute soil and water.

Use and dispose of cleaning solvents as well as lubricants appropriately.
