9. STARTUP
Before starting up the machine incorporating the unit make sure that:
The voltage corresponds to the expected one;
The facility complies with all applicable standards on safety and health of people at the workplace;
Moreover:
Remove all the installed safety devices used for handling;
Fill up with the quantity and type of oil indicated on the proper label on the gear reducer. Fill in the label. If topping
up is necessary, use the same brand and type of lubricant as the one already used. Use Motovario approved lubricants
(see table). Check for correct amount of oil through the appropriate level indicator, or dipstick, if any. In case of
pressure-fed lubrication, or if a cooling system is present, make sure that oil is in contact with the system at suitable
level;
Make sure that the vent cap is free from obstructions;
The start-up should be done in a gradual manner, avoiding the immediate application of the maximum load the
machine can bear, in order to check for the absence of operating failures or residual application criticality;
During start-up, to allow the oil to spread and reach optimum temperature and therefore viscosity, it is advisable to
make the unit run with no load for some minutes;
Check that all the installed devices and accessories are working properly during operation;
For the variator/variator-gear reducer the change in revolutions, using the appropriate command, must be done when
the unit is running;
During the first hour of operation check for any anomalous vibration and noises or overheating. If necessary stop
immediately the motor and contact the MOTOVARIO TECHNICAL SERVICE. After stopping the motor, wait 30' before
disassembly.
Do not use the unit:
Dangerous area
The dangerous area of the unit is the rotating shaft extension where any person could be subject to
mechanical risks from direct contact (cutting, dragging, crushing).
Make the machine compliant with DIRECTIVE 2006/42/EC providing a safety guard when the unit works in
accessible zones.
For B, S, NMRV series gear reducers the units can be fitted with protective covers if so required.
In an environment with fumes or abrasive and/or corrosive dust;
In direct contact with food products in bulk.
