General Operating Instructions for all types of transmissions - PIV Drives - #1

Installation, operating and service personnel must always read through these Operating instructions carefully. All information and instructions on putting into operation, maintenance and repair must be strictly observed. The technical documentation must be kept in the vicinity of the transmission unit. We are unable to accept any liability for damage, loss and plant interruption resulting from noncompliance with the Operating instructions. Should you have any queries, please consult our After-Sales Service or Spare Parts Department or one of our agents. This also applies to damage which has occurred during transport and identified when the consignment is received.

The gear unit/variator is designed to purchaser's specifications. The type of load, magnitude of the load and load duration as specified by the purchaser have been taken into consideration during selection of the unit by PIV Drives GmbH.

The power transmission unit and its attachments are intended only for driving a machine/system. Permitted speeds and power values are specified in the Technical data or on the rating plate. Any use of this unit over and above this is not considered as intended use. PIV Drives GmbH cannot be held liable for any damage or loss resulting from this. Intended use also includes compliance with the Operating instructions issued by the unit manufacturer.

Every person involved in installation, commissioning, operation or maintenance (servicing, repair) work on the gear unit/variator at the user's plant must have read through and understood the entire Operating instructions and, in particular, Chapter "Safety". We urge the user to have this confirmed in writing by each person. The responsibility for installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance must be clearly defined and observed, in particular from the point of view of safety.

Work may be carried out on the transmission unit and its attachments only with the system shut down.

Before carrying out work on the unit (maintenance and repair), the unit's drive and its attachments must be locked to prevent them being switched on unintentionally The system must be disconnected from the electrical power supply and its shafts must be locked to prevent them turning.

Safety devices and safety guards may be removed and fitted only with the gear unit and other equipment shut down.

Check that all safety devices and safety guards are in proper working order or are attached before putting the unit into operation or commissioning it and after carrying out maintenance work or repairs.

On no account may the equipment be converted in an unauthorized manner or the operating conditions changed since this would influence the safety of the gear unit/variator.

The load-carrying capacity of the hoists used must be at least equal to the weight of the unit.

Keep well away from the area beneath suspended loads.

These Operating instructions may not be passed on or duplicated, nor may their contents be utilized or disclosed unless expressly permitted. Violations of this clause will result in an obligation to pay compensation for damages.

Moving parts which have not been locked or protected with safety devices or guards by the transmission manufacturer PIV Drives GmbH (particularly on drive and output shafts) must be fitted with safety devices or guards by the operator.

Before disconnecting the gear unit it must be ensured that there are no static torsional loads within the driving system. Such torsional loads must be released at suitable points.

The outside surfaces of the unit may become very hot during operation. Caution! Severe burns may result from touching these surfaces. We recommend that you wear protective gloves and clothing.

Oil is drained off when the transmission unit is hot by opening the oil drain plug. Caution! Avoid scalding. We recommend that you wear protective clothing, including

You will find this symbol in the Operating instructions next to all information on work safety, which, if not observed, may involve danger to life and limb and the risk of damage to

property. Please follow this information and take particular care in such cases. Please also pass on all work safety information to other persons (installation, commissioning, operating and repair staff). The statutory work safety and accident prevention regulations must also be observed, besides the information in these Operating instructions.

gloves and goggles.

The inside and outside housing surfaces of the units have a coating of hydro-primer approximately 60 ,«m thick. The outer surfaces of the units also have a top coat of synthetic resin, RAL7031, approximately 50 fim thick. Other coatings, both inside and/or outside are possible if the customer wishes. The shaft ends, hollow shaft bores and other bright functional surfaces are wrapped with a special paper e.g. "Branorost PV7", protecting against corrosion.

Before delivery, the transmission units have successfully completed a test run, performed with an anticorrosion / "\ lubrication oil C conforming to DIN 51517. This oil is drained off following the test run and the gears are cleaned with rinsing oil AN conforming to DIN 51501. The inner components of gearboxes lubricated by mineral oil, are sprayed with a preservative agent, for example "RENOLIN

MR 30".

Gears running with polyclycol based synthetic oils, are preserved internally with, for example, "ANTICORIT 85".
