CHO - USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
· The data shown on the identification name plate must correspond to the gearbox ordered.
· The oil level must correspond to the quantity foreseen for the assembly position requested
(see catalogue).
· All of the other gearboxes are supplied complete with permanent synthetic oil in a quantity
that is sufficient for any assembly position.
· The gearbox must be fixed on a flat surface that is sufficiently rigid in order to avoid any
vibration.
· The gearbox and the axis of the machine to be driven must be perfectly aligned o in the event
that knocks, overloading or blockage of the machine are foreseen, the client must install a
limiting device, joints, overload cut-out etc.
· Coupling with pinions, joints, pulleys and other parts must be done after the parts have been
cleaned and knocks should be avoided while assembling as they could damage the bearings
and other internal parts.
· In the event that the motor is supplied by the client, he must check that the flange and shaft
tolerances correspond to a “normal” class; our motors satisfy this requirement.
· Check that the fixing screws for the gear and the related accessories are correctly tightened.
· Take suitable measures to protect the groups from any aggressive atmospheric agents.
· Where foreseen, protect rotating parts from any possible contact with the operators.
· If the gears are painted, protect the oil seals and the machined surfaces gearboxes.
· All of the gears are painted RAL 9022 grey.
OPERATION AND RUNNING-IN
· To obtain the best performance the gearboxes must first be run-in by gradually increasing the
power in the first few hours of operation, in this phase an increase in temperature is considered
normal.
· In the event of defective operation, noise, oil leakage, etc. stop the gear immediately and,
when possible, remove the cause. Alternatively, send the piece to our factory to be controlled.
MAINTENANCE see page 93
· The helical gearboxes are lubricated with mineral, oil do not mix with synthetic oil. Check oil
level regularly.
WAREHOUSE STORAGE
· If the warehouse storage will be for a long time, more than 3 months, the shafts and machined
surfaces should be protected using antioxidants and the oil seals should be greased.
HANDLING
· Care must be taken not to damage the oil seals and the machined surfaces when handling the
groups.
DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING
· The packaging in which our gears are delivered should be sent to specialised companies for
recycling if possible.
