Do not disassemble PARAMAX SFC gear unit for cooling towers during operation. Even at a standstill,
with the exception of the oil inlet/outlet, no parts should be removed while the input and output shaft
of the PARAMAX SFC gear unit are coupled to a motor or other work machine. Otherwise malfunction,
uncontrolled operation, serious injury or damage to the machine may occur as a result of decoupling of
the gears.
The PARAMAX SFC gear unit for cooling towers should not be used for any purposes other than those
indicated on the rating plate or in the manufacturer’s specications. Otherwise there is a risk of electric
shocks, injuries or damage to the machine.
2.1 Safety Instructions for Operation with Motor/Frequency Converter
If a drive motor is connected to the PARAMAX SFC gear unit, it should be put into operation only after
checking that the data on the gear unit model plate match the data in the documentation supplied
(drawings, parts lists, etc.).
- There should be no signs of damage on the gear.
- The lubricants provided must correspond to the ambient conditions, and must be prepared where
necessary.
If a motor is connected to the PARAMAX SFC gear unit, it should be used with the frequency converter
only if it conforms to the data on the model plate of the PARAMAX SFC gear unit. The PARAMAX SFC
gear unit is designed for industrial installations and must be used only in accordance with the data in
the technical documentation and on the model plate. It meets the current standards and regulations,
and the requirements of directive 94/9EC.

3.1 Transport
3. Instructions for Transport and Inspection at Delivery
Never stand under the unit when it is suspended from a crane or similar lifting device; there is a risk of
serious or fatal injuries.
Unpack the unit so that it is taken out the right way up; otherwise there is a risk of injury.
Take care to prevent PARAMAX SFC gear unit from falling over.
When lifting, always use the eye-bolts or holes provided. Use only the appropriate and suciently
dimensioned slings, which should be attached to the eye-bolts provided, or placed around the ange
joints. Screw-in eye-bolts are designed to support only the weight of the drive unit. No additional loads
should be attached.
In general: Do not use the centering holes in the shaft ends for lifting the PARAMAX SFC gear unit using
eye-bolts etc. This can cause damage during storage.
Once the PARAMAX SFC gear unit has been installed in the system, never lift the whole machine using
the suspension hooks or holes; this can cause injuries, damage to the equipment, or damage to the lift-
ing device.
Before lifting, check the weight of the PARAMAX SFC gear unit by referring to the data on/in the packag-
ing, the accompanying drawing, the catalogue, etc. Never lift a unit if its weight exceeds the maximum
permitted load of the crane or lifting device; this can cause injuries, damage to the equipment, or dam-
age to the lifting device.
After Delivery, check whether:
1. The delivery goods correspond to those ordered (see also the descriptions on the model plate).
If there is any doubt that the delivery does not match your order, contact our nearest agency, dealer or
service centre.
2. Any parts have been damaged during transport. Any damage during transport must be reported to
the shipping company immediately. If it has to be assumed that transport damage is going to prevent
correct operation, then startup must be suspended.
