Rotor shipping brace
Machines ordered with the "Increased radial force" option are equipped with cylindrical-roller
bearings and a rotor shipping brace.
NOTICE
Transport damage if the rotor shipping brace device is not used.
The motor can be damaged if it is jolted during transport. This can result in material damage.
● Always transport the motor with the rotor shipping brace supplied. The rotor shipping brace
must be attached during transportation.
● Only remove it before pushing on the drive element.
● If you transport the machine after the output transmission element has been pulled on,
then you must axially fix the rotor in another way.

WARNING
Lifting using the cooling water pipes
The cooling water pipe system has not been designed so that it can be used to lift the motor.
The machine can fall when lifted. Death, serious injury, or material damage will result.
● Only use the eyebolts on the bearing shields to transport and lift the motor.
