MAINTENANCE
7. Maintenance
7.1 Prior to any maintenance operations
1. De-energize the drive and secure against unintentional switch-on.
2. Wait until the unit has cooled down.
Hot Surfaces!
Danger of skin burns & pressure build-up.
7.2 Oil plugs / Ventilator
1. Prior to removing plugs, ensure that the unit has cooled sufficiently so that oil will not burn on units without ventilator.
Danger!
Do not stand over plug whilst removing, as pressure build-up may cause it to eject when removed.
2. Place a container below the oil drain plug to be removed.
Note!
It is recommended that the oil should be slightly warm (40–50°C) when drained.
(Cooler oil will be more difficult to drain correctly).
3. Top-ups or refills should be done (where possible) through the ventilator position.
4. Remember to refit all plugs and torque, tighten to Table M1 below.
Table M1
5. Clean away any oil spillage.
