2.4 Designated use
The industrial gear units are gear units run by motors for industrial and commercial
systems. The units may only be run at the speeds and powers shown in the technical
data or on the nameplate. Implementing gear unit loads other than the permitted val-
ues or operating the gear units in areas of application other than industrial and com-
mercial systems is only permitted after consultation with SEW‑EURODRIVE.
Using these products in potentially explosive atmospheres is prohibited, unless spe-
cifically designated otherwise.
In compliance with the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, the industrial gear units
are partly completed machinery for installation in machinery and systems. In the scope
of the EC directive, you must not take the machinery into operation in the designated
fashion until you have established that the end product complies with Machinery Di-
rective 2006/42/EC.

• Use suitable, sufficiently rated, and undamaged handling equipment.
• Consider the gear unit dimensions, the center of gravity, and the weight that has
to be moved when selecting lifting equipment or a crane (see dimension draw-
ing). The weight to be moved is the total weight of the drive package including
mount-on components (not only the weight of the gear unit).
WARNING
Lifted loads may fall over.
Severe or fatal injuries.
• Secure the gear unit against falling over during the lifting process.
• Secure the danger zone.
• Use suitable, sufficiently rated, and undamaged handling equipment.
• Consider the gear unit dimensions, the center of gravity, and the weight that has
to be moved when selecting lifting equipment or a crane (see order documents).
The weight to be moved is the total weight of the drive package including mount-
on components (not only the weight of the gear unit).

CAUTION
Risk of slipping of unsecured mount-on components, such as keys.
Potential risk of crushing due to falling parts.
• Secure the mount-on components.
CAUTION
Danger due to lubricant leaking from damaged seals and the breather.
Minor injuries.
• Check the gear unit and mount-on components for leaking lubricant.
• The seals must not come in contact with cleaning agent as this may damage the
seals.
• Protect the breather against damage.
• Make sure that there is not too much oil in the gear unit. If the oil level is too high
and the temperature rises, lubricant may escape from the breather.
NOTICE
Improper transport may result in damage to the gear unit.
Possible damage to property.
• Observe the following information.
• Inspect the shipment for any transport damage as soon as you receive the deliv-
ery. Inform the shipping company immediately. It may be necessary to preclude
startup.
• The weight of the gear unit (without oil) is indicated on the nameplate or on the di-
mension sheet. Observe the loads and regulations specified on the nameplate.
• If possible, transport the gear unit without oil fill. If this is not possible, note that the
weight indicated on the nameplate refers only to the no-load weight of the gear
unit, and replace the breather with a screw plug.
• The gear unit must be transported in a manner that prevents damage to the gear
unit and mount-on components. For example, impacts against exposed shaft-ends
may result in damage to the gear unit.
• Use only the provided attachment points to transport the gear unit (see order docu-
ments). The load suspensions of the motor or mount-on components are provided
for stabilization purposes only.
• Make sure that the lifting eyebolts are screwed in completely and are flush to the
contact surface. Observe the following information.
• RUD lifting eyebolts [1] and load rings [2] may be used at the defined attachment
points. Observe the following table. If you use other transport screws than those
described in this document, ensure that they are suitable for transporting the gear
unit.
• Observe the specified angles for the slings.

2.9 Storage and transport conditions
The gear units can be shipped with the following protection and packaging types de-
pending on the storage and transport conditions.
2.9.1 Internal preservation
Standard preservation
After the test run, the test oil fill is drained out of the gear unit. The remaining oil film
protects the gear unit against corrosion for a limited period of time. If specified in the
order, the gear unit can be delivered with oil. Refer to the order documents for more
information.
Long-term preservation
After the test run, the test oil fill is drained out of the gear unit and the interior space is
filled with a vapor phase inhibitor. The breather is replaced by a screw plug and in-
cluded in the gear unit delivery.
Preservation with VCI anti-corrosion agent is not permitted for gear units that are oper-
ated with food grade lubricants. Contact SEW‑EURODRIVE in such cases.
2.9.2 Exterior preservation
The following measures are taken for exterior preservation:
• Anti-corrosion agent is applied to bare, non-painted functional surfaces of shafts,
flanges, mounting and foot surfaces of the housing. The anti-corrosion agent must
be removed only with a suitable solvent that does not damage the oil seal.
• Small spare parts and loose pieces, such as bolts, nuts, etc., are packed in corro-
sion protection plastic bags (VCI corrosion protection bags).
• Threaded holes and blind holes are covered with plastic plugs.
• If the gear unit is stored longer than 6 months, you must regularly check the pro-
tective coating of unpainted areas as well as the paint coating. Renew areas with
damaged protective coating/paint.
2.9.3 Packaging
Standard packaging
The gear unit is delivered on a pallet without cover.
Use: transport by truck or rail
Long-term packaging
The gear unit is delivered in a wooden box that is also appropriate for sea transport.
Use: transport by ship and/or extended storage
