This service manual contains the storage, installation, operating, lubrication
and maintenance instructions relative to the Hansen P4 standardized gear
units.
Additional information can be obtained by contacting one of the HANSEN
sales centres worldwide (p. 2-3)
All handling, storage, installation, start-up,
inspection and maintenance of the equipment
shall be done by personnel qualified in matters
of industrial mechanical and - where applicable -
electrical equipment.

1. GENERAL

1.1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully read this manual before installing the gear unit.
Compliance with the instructions will assure long and troublefree operation of
the gear unit.
The equipment should be checked against shipping papers and inspected for
apparent damage sustained during transport. Any shortage, discrepancy or
damage must immediately be reported to HANSEN.
1.1.1. Warranty
The warranty clause of the "General Conditions of Sale" applies to gear units
installed and maintained as per instructions contained in this manual and in
any additional instruction leaflets supplied with the gear unit insofar as the
gear unit operates within the service and rating conditions put forward in the
"Order Acknowledgement" and on the certified drawings.
Non compliance with these instructions, injudicious choice of lubricant or a
lack of maintenance will render warranty agreement invalid.
This warranty clause applies to all parts of the gear unit with the exception of
these parts which are subject to wear.
1.1.2. Safety
!
It is not allowed to use the gear unit for other
applications or in other operating conditions than
the one for which it is ordered.
The user shall be responsible for the proper in-
stallation of the complete equipment and the
supply of protection guards and other safety
equipment in accordance with local safety regu-
lations.
Heaters, coolers, electrical alarms and other safety or monitoring devices
supplied by HANSEN with the equipment must be installed and connected by
the user as indicated on the relative document.
Some seals in a gear unit can contain FKM
!
rial (trade names e.g. Viton 
If seals, made out of FKM material, have been
exposed to high temperatures (e.g. in case of a
fire or when a bearing very close to the seal has
n
experienced massive damage), highly corrosive
organic fluorides may have been generated and
contact with the skin must be avoided at all time.
Since it is not always clear whether the used ma-
terial is in fact FKM, it is strongly recommended
to handle every seal that has been exposed to
high temperatures with extreme care and to take
the necessary precautions (*).
1: FKM is short for Fluoroelastomer
2: Viton  is a registered trademark of Dupont-Dow
3: Fluorel is a registered trademark of Dyneon (3M)
Extraction from 'handling precautions for Viton and related

chemicals', technical information from Dupont-Dow.
Precaution in the event of fire.
Highly toxic products (**) of combustion can be generated in a fire involving
Viton  . Personnel fighting such a fire must wear facemasks and a self-con-
tained breathing apparatus. All unprotected personnel must leave the area
immediately. Anyone exposed to fumes from the fire should be moved to
fresh air at once and treated by a physician.
Anyone handling residues of Viton polymer or parts of Viton that have been
involved in a fire must wear Neoprene gloves to avoid skin contact with these
possibly highly corrosive residues, which likely include hydrogen fluoride.

.
(Polyvinylchloride [PVC] gloves may be used if the temperature of the residue
is below the melting point of the gloves.) Such residues should be decontami-
nated by washing in lime water (calcium hydroxide solution) and disposed of
in the same manner as Viton  polymer. To dispose of Viton  , landfill is pre-
ferred. The disposal method must be conform to national, state and local
regulations.
Burning of Viton  is not recommended, unless conducted by an approved, li-
censed incineration process. In this case, the gaseous products should be
treated by alkaline scrubbing. The gloves must be discarded after use.

1.2. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
For general specifications such as dimensions, weight, connecting diagrams,
refer to certified drawing of the gear unit and/or to the Hansen P4 standard-
ized gear unit catalogues.
1.3. IDENTIFICATION
Inquiries concerning a gear unit should always specify the unit's complete
type code and manufacturing number, which can be found on the name-
plate.
The nameplate, which is fitted on each gear unit, also contains ratings
and/or torque, speed and lubrication instructions.
This information is essential to identify positively the unit supplied by
HANSEN.

2. SHIPPING

Prior to shipment each unit has been inspected and accepted by the QUALITY
CONTROL DEPARTMENT according to order specifications, and after no
load test of several hours in its normal operating position and at speed
indicated on the nameplate.
2.1. SHIPPING CONDITIONS
Unless otherwise specified, gear units are shipped in unpacked condition
and depending on necessity, fixed on wooden pallets with open crating
protection. Sometimes parts, such as spare filter elements, are separately
packed. In such events, the end-user must take care of the assembly (see
chapter 5. INSTALLATION p. 6).
The HANSEN P4 gear unit is shipped without oil.
!
All grease lubrication points are factory filled.
In case the gear unit, after arrival of the shipment from Hansen,
!
has to be transported further, Hansen advises to avoid trans-
port by train. If the gear units are to be transported by train
n anyhow, then the necessary precautions must be taken by the
forwarder to avoid false Brinelling damage on gears and bear-
ings.
2.2. PAINTING
The standard external paint for HANSEN gear units is an epoxy primer with
high solids content, corresponding to the German Standard RAL 5021, water
blue.
This paint system offers a 5 year protection for indoor installation provided
the gear unit is not subjected to humid or chemical aggressive atmospheric
conditions.
Overcoating is possible with most paints based on alkyd-, epoxy or
polyurethane resins.
2.3. PRESERVATION
The inner parts of the gear units are sprayed with rust preventing mineral oil.
The breather plug (standard, dust-proof, anti-humidity) is neither removed nor
sealed.
The shaft extensions are protected with a rust preventing grease and waxed
paraffin paper. The hollow shafts and all unpainted machined surfaces are
coated with an anti-oxidizing waxy varnish.
This standard system offers corrosion protection during transport and/or
storage for up to one year indoors.
