NOTICE
Always change the oil when the machine is at
operating temperature and in an atmospherically
ventilated area.
If it is not completely emptied the amount that can
be refilled is reduced.
The waste oil must be disposed of in compliance with
the local environmental protection regulations.
If you are going to use another oil type, empty the
oil removing device housing and oil cooler com-
pletely.
The oil level must be checked at least once a day,
if necessary top the oil up to the upper edge of the
sight glass (Fig. 7/I) First oil change after 500 hours
of operation. Subsequent oil changes after 500-
2000 hours of operation. Reduce the change inter-
vals accordingly depending on how contaminated
the discharged medium is.

agent.
