4.2.1 Monitoring the oil level: Oil Sight-glass and Oil Level Sensor
Gearboxes that are supplied for splash lubrication, are equipped with an oil sight-glass (standard supply).
In this case, when filling the gearbox with oil, check that the level reaches approximately the middle of
the sight-glass, keeping the unit in horizontal position upon its feet. The oil amount indicated in the
table above (chapter 4.1) is only approximate.
In order to keep the oil level under control over time, it is strongly suggested to use an additional
oil
level sensor (c)
assembled on the gearbox; upon request, Baruffaldi can supply a suitable sensor
(code 999.912.06547).
Fill the gearbox with oil until it reaches the middle of the
oil sight-glass
(h)
or the oil level sensor, when
supplied.
(c)
(NO) - Normally Open sensor output is: open in air and
closed in the presence of liquids
