Preparing for use
Good planning and preparation of machine applications are essential in terms of keeping
installation simple and avoiding errors, ensuring safe operation, and allowing access to the
machine for servicing and corrective maintenance.
This chapter explains how you should proceed when engineering a plant or system in
relation to this machine and the preparations you need to make before the machine is
delivered.
4.1
Safety-related aspects to consider when configuring the plant
A number of residual risks are associated with the machine. These are described in the chapter
titled "Safety information" (Page 19) and in related sections.
Take appropriate safety precautions (covers, barriers, markings, etc.) to ensure the machine is
operated safely within your plant.
4.2
Observing the operating mode
Observe the machine's operating mode. Use a suitable control system to prevent overspeeds,
thus protecting the machine from damage.
4.3
Machines without final paint coating
For machines, which are only delivered with primer, you must paint them to comply with the
applicable guidelines for the specific application. The primer alone does not provide adequate
corrosion protection.
Please contact the Service Center for recommendations relating to the paint finish.
4.4
Delivery
Checking the delivery for completeness
The drive systems are put together on an individual basis. When receiving the delivery,
immediately check whether the scope of delivery matches the accompanying documents.
SIEMENS will not accept any claims for missing or incorrect items submitted at a later date.
• Report any apparent transport damage to the delivery agent immediately.
• Immediately report any apparent defects/missing components to your local sales partner.
