4.5 Storage
If the product must be stored for more than 2 months, do the following:
- Protect the shafts and the spigots with a film or grease and/or rust-inhibitor
liquids
- Completely fill the gear unit and any multi-disk brake with suitable oil (see
tparagraph 7.4)
-Store the machine in a cool place at a temperature ranging from -5°C to
+30°C
- Protect the packages against dirt, dust and moisture.
NOTE: For extended storage of more than 6 months, the rotating seals
will no longer be efficient. It is recommended to check them periodically by
turning the internal gears by and rotating the input shaft. For a negative multi-
disk brake, release the brake by using a hydraulic pump or similar device
(see paragraph 8.1 for the brake opening pressure). It is recommended to
replace the gaskets when the machine is started.
- Do not stacks pieces on top of each other
- Do not walk on or place pieces on top of the package.
- Do not store any material inside the package.

- Deep the package away from any passage areas.
- If possible, insert wooden wedges between the package and
the floor.
5. INSTALLATION:
5.1 General instructions
Install the Product carefully following the steps listed below:
- When installing the Gear unit, make sure the oil, breather,
level and drain plugs are in the correct position. Their position
will vary according to the assembly position (see paragraph 2.2
Configurations).
_ If the gear unit is supplied in the multi-disk brake configuration,
make sure that the brake oil, breather, level and drain plugs are
in the correct position?. Their position will vary according to the
assembly position (see paragraph 2.2 Configurations).
- The brakes in general must be correctly connected to their
specific control circuits and, for hydraulically controlled brakes,
they must be bled like the hydraulic circuit.
- When installing RPR or MDU series gear units, be very careful
not to damage any grease pipes or those used to empty the oil in
the gear unit (located on the side of the gear unit support). They
should be positioned so that it is easy to access the grease gun
and any oil expansion tank (during installation protect the pipes
and the tank).
- The Gear unit is normally supplied with a flange for coupling the
electric, hydraulic and air motors.
- The customer is responsible for installing suitable guards for the
input shafts, as well as couplings, pulleys, belts, etc., according
to the current safety standards in force in the country where the
machine is used.
- For Gear units installed outdoors, use rust-inhibitor paint and
protect the oil guard and relative sliding guides with water-
repellent grease and provide protection against bad weather.
Note: BREVINI POWER TRANSMISSION S.p.A. advises
against filling its products with oil prior to installation
