7.2 Lubrication<br />
The gearboxes are supplied without oil.<br />
Before use, the gearbox must be fi lled with oil up to the level indicated using one of the lubricating oils advised.<br />
The choice and the quantity of oil will be referred to the installer/user based upon the type of application.<br />
7.3 Paint<br />
The supplied gearboxes are not painted. A few parts are treated with a base layer of water soluble epoxy ester red<br />
oxide. It is the responsibility of the customer to carry out the surface treatment using a paint that is compatible<br />
with the base layer. O-rings must be protected during the painting.<br />
7.4 Installation of fl ange motors<br />
The installation of the motors to the coupling fl ange supplied by <strong>Jahns</strong> is a particularly simple operation, but it<br />
must be carried out following the following important suggestions:<br />
-Lubricate the coupling with a light fi lm of grease or anti-seizure lubricant;<br />
-Ensure that the motor rests freely on the gearbox fi xing fl ange without forcing on either the shaft or the spigot;<br />
-Tighten screws.<br />
For further information refer to the maintenance and operation manual.<br />
7.5 Installation of motors with connection couplings<br />
When a connection coupling between motor and gearbox is used, one must verify that the alignment between<br />
the motor and the gearbox is compatible with the type of coupling. Couplings are widely used in industrial<br />
applications for the various functions that they can perform such as:<br />
- limit the input torque,<br />
- dampen vibrations coming from the motor,<br />
- compensate small misalignments.<br />
For the application of couplings, reference must be made to the component’s supplier operating manual.<br />
7.6 Weights<br />
For the gearboxes aproximative weights see page G.241.<br />
8. Storage<br />
The gearboxes must not be stored in the open or in direct contact with the ground. For long time periods they just<br />
be stored full of oil, with the external worked parts covered with grease and the coupling surfaces protected with<br />
anti-oxidant agents and operated under vacuum (a complete rotation of the output shaft is suffi cient) at least once<br />
every two months.<br />
For further information regarding storage, please refer to the maintenance and operating manual.<br />
