Does not apply to bearings with specific ILM instructions – for replacement
deliveries it is essential to get into contact with the machine manufacturer
regarding installation, lubrication and maintenance.

Transport and handling
Slewing bearings, like any other part of a machine, require
careful handling. They should always be transported and
stored in horizontal position. For safe handling of bearings
which include transport holes, high tensile lifting eye bolts
must be used. If they have to be transported vertically,
they will require internal cross bracing. The bearing
weight must be indicated on the crate or pallet. Impact
loads, particularly in a radial direction, must be avoided.
Delivery condition
• Raceway system
The slewing bearings are delivered filled with one of
the greases (see table 3 on page 9) unless no special
lubricant and special grease quantities are required.
• External surfaces
External surfaces protected with Cortec VpCI 369/H10.
• Gearing
The gearing is not greased.
Anti-corrosion treatment
as for external surfaces.

DANGER
Danger of life by overhead load
• Do NOT step underneath the load
• Use suitable slings
• Use suitable lifting devices
• Suitable transport tap hole are
stated in the bearing drawing

Storage
Approx. 6 months in roofed storage areas. Approx.
12 months in enclosed, temperature-controlled areas
(temperature > 12 °C ). Outside storage is not allowed.
Longer storage periods will necessitate special preser-
vation. After the slewing bearing has been stored for a
relatively long time, an increased frictional torque may
be observed caused by the suction adhesion of the
sealing lip. Careful lifting of the sealing lip with a blunt
object around the entire circumference and several
clockwise and counterclockwise rotations of the slewing
bearing through 360 degrees will reduce the frictional
torque to normal.
