WARNING

CRUSHING, SHEARING, CUTTING AND HITTING DURING HANDLING

oObserve the general construction and safety regulations for handling and assembly.

oUse appropriate mounting and transport equipment and use appropriate tools.

oPrevent clamping and crushing by taking appropriate precautions.

oCover edges and angles to protect against cutting damage.

oWear suitable protective clothing (for example, protective goggles, protective boots, protective gloves).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

CAUTION

FALLING HEAVY LOAD

oIf a motor and/or gearbox is mounted to the axis, simultaneously lift with one hand the axis and with the other hand the motor.

oDo not lift the axis only at the motor and/or gearbox.

oUse a suitable crane or other suitable lifting gear for mounting the axis if this is required by the mass of the product.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

1

Transport the axis in its packaging as close as possible to the installation site.

2

In case of a wooden box, unscrew the bolts on the lid of the box.

In case of a cardboard box, open the box with appropriate tools.

3

Verify the axis for transport damage.

4

Lift up the axis at points A and B and remove the cardboard box or wooden box. The distance between the end block and point A and between the end block and point B must be one fourth of the total length of the axis. If an axis with a mounted motor and/or gearbox is lifted, points A and B are to be moved to balance the load.

NOTE:

oSupport the motor and/or gearbox when lifting the axis.

oDo not lift the axis at the motor and/or gearbox only.
