Important Notes Make sure that when fitting the gearbox there is no explosive atmosphere, oils, acids, gases, vapours or radiation. Check whether the ambient temperature is within the range of application in accordance with section Installation Notes. Ensure that there is enough ventilation to the gear and there is no external heat source (e. g. from couplings). The cooling air must not exceed a temperature of 40°C. Check that the configuration matches the configuration specified on the gear's model plate. Please note: The design may only be changed after prior consultation with Sumitomo, otherwise...

Storing and Transporting Storage Location • Store the unit in a clean, dry area. • Do not store outdoors or in an area with high humidity, dust, sudden temperature changes, or corrosive gases. Generally, the BBB4 gearbox is to be stored indoors, in an ordinary factory or a warehouse. The unit should be sealed, wrapped in plastic and additionally packed with desiccant. Desiccant should be replaced periodically to keep the inside of the box dry. Use of color changing desiccant will aid in identifying when desiccant should be changed. Storage Period • Do not store the unit for longer than 3 months...

Installation Notes Installation Precautions • Do not use the reducer/gearmotor for specifications other than those shown on the nameplate or in the manufacturing specification documents. Personal injury and/or equipment damage may occur. • Do not place combustible material on or around the unit; fire may occur. • Do not place any objects around the unit that will prohibit proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may lead to high unit temperature and/or fire. • Do not step on or hang from the unit. Excessive weight may cause component breakage leading to personal injury and/or equipment damage....
