7 TESTING THE GEAR UNIT

Before starting the unit, check that:
The machine incorporating the gear unit complies with the provisions of the "Machinery
Directive" 98/37/EC and any other applicable safety legislation.
The electrical power supply and control systems are suitable and operational as stipulated in
standard EN 60204-1, and grounded as per standard EN 50014.
That there are no visible leaks from the shaft seals nor damages of any nature to the gear unit.

8 USING THE EQUIPMENT

Before putting the gear unit into service, the User must ensure that the plant in which it is installed
complies with all applicable directives, especially those regarding health and safety at work.
The gear unit may not be used in areas and environments:
with highly corrosive and/or abrasive vapours, smoke or dust
in direct contact with loose food products.
Danger zones and exposed persons:
The danger zone of the gear unit is the protrusion of the shaft which constitutes a hazard for
exposed persons in direct contact with it (crushing, cutting, trapping). In particular, when the
gear unit is operating in automatic mode and in an accessible area, the shaft must be protected
by a guard.

9 MAINTENANCE

9.1 MAINTENANCE
Before doing any work on the unit, the operator must first switch off power to the gear
unit and ensure that it is out of service, as well as taking all necessary precautions
against it being accidentally switched on again or its parts moving without warning (due
to suspended loads or similar external factors).
Furthermore, all additional environmental safety precautions must be taken (e.g.
elimination of residual gas or dust, etc.).
Before doing any maintenance work, activate all safety equipment and, if necessary, inform
persons working in the vicinity. In particular, mark off the area around the unit and prevent
access to any equipment which, if activated, might be the cause of unexpected health and
safety hazards.
The Manufacturer declines all liability for injury and damage to components due to the use of non-
original spare parts and non-routine work which modifies the safety requirements without the express
prior authorisation of the Manufacturer.
Refer to the specific spare parts catalogue when ordering spare parts for the gear unit.
Do not dump polluting liquids, worn parts and maintenance waste into the environment.
Dispose of all such materials as stipulated by applicable legislation.
