6.1 Safety instructions
WARNING
Danger of the motor down due to incorrect transport and/or lifting
Due to incorrect transport and/or lifting, the motor can fall and cause death, severe injury
and/or damage to property.
• Lifting devices, ground conveyors, and load suspension equipment must comply with
requirements.
• The maximum capacity of the lifting equipment and the load suspension device must
correspond to the weight of the motor (see the rating plate).
• Do not attach any additional loads to the lifting equipment.
• To hoist the motor, use suitable cable-guidance or spreading equipment, particularly if the
motor is equipped with built-on assemblies.
• Refrain from lifting and transporting the motor by the power connector or signal connector.
• Do not stand in the slewing range of hoisting gear or under suspended loads.
WARNING
Active implant malfunctions due to permanent-magnet elds
Even when switched o, electric motors with permanent magnets pose a potential risk for
persons with heart pacemakers or implants if they are close to converters/motors.
• If you have a heart pacemaker or implant, keep a distance of at least 30cm.
• When transporting or storing permanent-magnet motors always use the original packing
materials with the warning labels attached.
• Clearly mark the storage locations with the appropriate warning labels.
• IATA regulations must be observed when transporting by air.
WARNING
Injury caused by moving or ejected parts
Contact with moving motor parts or drive output elements and the ejection of loose motor
parts, e.g. feather keys, out of the motor enclosure can result in severe injury or death.
• Remove any loose parts or secure them so that they cannot be ung out.
• Do not touch any moving parts.
• Safeguard all moving parts using the appropriate touch protection.
