12.5.2 Admissible gear lubricant oils
12.5.3 Mixer gearbox
The gearbox(es) require(s):
 check of oil level and topping-up if necessary,
 change of gear lubricant oil.
12.5.3.1 Check oil level
Check the oil of the mixer gearbox:
 after commissioning during the first 10 service hours,
 after changing the gear lubricant oil,
and top up if necessary.
Check the oil level before starting the mixing process, as the oil heats up during the
mixing process thus rising in the compensating reservoir.
1. Check the oil level in the mixer gearbox via
the lateral compensating reservoir
(Fig. 107/1).
The oil level must be visible between the
two fill level markings (Fig. 107/2) of the
compensating reservoir.
2. Fill gear lubricant oil (see Quantities when
filled and change intervals, p. 154) through
the vent opening into the compensating
reservoir after removal of the vent screw
(Fig. 107/3) if necessary.
