8.3.3 Oil change
Please observe the instructions in the „General Safety Instructions” in section
3.3.1.
You can find a list of permitted lubricants in section 4.3.
All gearboxes are lubricated for their entire working life. However, we
recommend
an oil change after an initial 7,000 operating hours for synthetic oils, and then approx. every
10,000 operating hours thereafter. This is because oil becomes contaminated, causing
increased wear and tear.

Heat up the gearbox to operating temperature.
Fig. 8.1
Drain the oil off through the plug
(fig. 8.1).
If draining is not possible in mounted
position, dismantle the gearbox
as described in section 9.
There is now only residual oil and dirt in the gearbox. We recommend that these
be flushed out:
-
Screw in the plug and fill in oil.
-
Let the machine run for a short time, and drain the oil off again.
Fill with the prescribed quantity of oil.
You can find the prescribed lubricant quantity in section 4.3.1 to 4.3.2.
De-grease the plug and coat it with a sealant (e.g. Loctite 573).
Screw in the plug (see also table 8.2).
Should you have to dismantle the gearbox, remount it as described in section 6.
