5.1 Speed adjustment via handwheelTurning the handwheel changes the speed range as follows:

• CCW rotation decreases the drive speed

• CW rotation increases the drive speed

The following figure illustrates the directions:

The mechanical limitation of the setting range is achieved via a retaining ring for the min-imum output speed na1 and by locking the variable pulleys for the maximum outputspeed na2.

With VARIBLOC® variable-speed gear units, there is a digressive relation between thehandwheel rotations at the adjustment spindle and the output speed.

For long-term storage, option ../B (in corrosion protection design) is used.

This requires the following additional measures:

Once you have performed a test run with the gear unit to be stored, disassemble thewide V-belt and enclose it with the drive in a stable box. The wide V-belt should have anearly elliptic shape.

The storage environment must be cold (temperature range 0° - 20° C), dry and free fromdust.

The following points must be avoided during extended storage:

• direct exposure to heat

• sudden change in temperature

• draft

• exposure to ultraviolet radiation

• electric devices and plants in direct vicinity (accumulation of ozone)

• mechanical load

• impacts due to oils, acids and solvent vapors

The wide V-belt can be stored about 2 years if the above conditions are observed.

INFORMATIONFor storage periods longer than 9 months, SEW-EURODRIVE recommends the "Ex-tended storage" type. Gear units in this design are designated with a correspondinglabel.
