To achieve a satisfactory and troublefree operation of the equipment, be certain to observe the operating
values specified in section 1, "Technical Data", as well as the information given in the operating instructions
of the oilsupply system.
During operation the gear unit must be monitored for:
•
Operating temperature
The gear unit is designed for continuous operation at an
operating temperature of:
90 °C
(mineral oil only)
The maximum permitted temperature is:
100 °C
(mineral oil only)
•
Oil pressure of the oilsupply system
(min. 0.5 bar)
•
Changes in gear noise
•
Possible oil leakage at the housing and shaft seals

Oil level
To check the oil level, stop operation of the gear unit.
Depending on the type the following oil levels apply when the motor has cooled down:
Middle of the oilsight glass
Top mark on the oil dipstick.
If the oil is hot, the oillevel marks may be slightly exceeded. It must in no case be allowed to
fall below the mark. If necessary, top up to the correct level.
The oil level in the oilsupply system must be checked.
For this, the operating instructions of the oilsupply system must be observed!
8.3
Irregularities
The drive unit must be switched off at once,
if irregularities are found during the operation
or
if the pressure monitoring device in the oilcooling system triggers
alarm (only with correspondingly equipped gear units).
Determine the cause of the fault, using table 12, "Faults, causes and remedy"
(see item 9.2).
Table 12, "Faults, causes and remedy", contains a list of possible faults, their causes
and suggested remedies.
If the cause cannot be found, a specialist from one of our customerservice centres
