1 Regarding this manual
The original instructions were prepared in German; all other language versions are translations of
these instructions.
If this manual is supplied with an amendment (e.g. for special applications), then the information in
the amendment is valid. Contradictory specifications in this manual thereby become obsolete.
1.1 Information symbols
The following information symbols are used:
Indicates an action to be performed
Indicates the results of an action
Provides additional information on handling
2 General safety instructions
2.1 Identification plate
The type plate is attached to the gearhead housing as well input flange.
2.2 Intended use
The gearhead serves to convert torques and speeds in industrial applications.
The gearhead may not be operated in areas with explosion hazards. In food processing, the
gearhead may be used only next to or under the foodstuff area.
2.3 Reasonably predictable misuse
Any usage that exceeds the maximum permitted speeds, torques and temperature is considered a
misuse and is therefore prohibited.
2.4 Guarantee and liability
Guarantee and liability claims are excluded for personal injury and material damage in case of
- Ignoring the information on transport and storage
- Improper use (misuse)
- Improper or neglected maintenance and repair
- Improper assembly / disassembly or improper operation (e.g. test run without secure
attachment)
- Operation of the gearhead when safety devices and equipment are defective
- Operation of the gearhead without lubricant
- Operation of a heavily soiled gearhead
- Modifications or reconstructions that have been carried out without the approval of

TP+General safety instructions
Revision: 03 2022-D036009 en-3
2.5 General safety instructions
Suspended loads can fall and can cause serious injuries and even
death.
Only use hoisting equipment and transports with sufficient capacity.
Do not stand under suspended loads.
Objects flung out by rotating components can cause serious injury
and death.
Remove objects and tools from the gearhead before putting it into
operation.
Remove/Secure the shaft key (if available) if the gearhead is operated
without attachments on the output/drive side.
Rotating components on the gearhead can pull in parts of the body
and cause serious injuries and even death.
Keep a sufficient distance to rotating machinery while the gearhead is
running.
Secure the machine against restarting and unintentional movements
during assembly and maintenance work (e.g. uncontrolled lowering of
lifting axes).
A damaged gearhead can cause accidents and injury.
Never use a gearhead that has been overloaded to due misuse or a
machine crash (see chapter 2.3 "Reasonably predictable misuse").
Replace the concerned gearhead, even if external damage is visible.
Lubricants are flammable.
Do not spray with water to extinguish.
Suitable extinguishing agents are powder, foam, water mist, and carbon
dioxide.
Observe the safety instructions of the lubricant manufacturer.
Hot gearhead housing can cause serious burns.
Touch the gearhead housing only when wearing protective gloves or
after the gearhead has been at standstill for some time.
Solvents and lubricants can cause skin irritations.
Avoid direct skin contact.
Loose or overloaded screw connections can damage the gearhead.
Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten and check all screw
connections for which a tightening torque has been specified.
All gearheads are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer with
synthetic gear oil (polyglycols) or with a grease (see identification
plate).
Do not mix polyglycols with mineral oils.
