DANGER!
Death or extremely serious injury / crippling caused by equipment in operation
without suitable safety or protective devices by the surrounding end product.
WARNING!
Burns at hot surfaces.
During operation, the surface of the gearbox can reach high temperatures. It must
be ensured that there is no unintentional contact with the surface of the gearbox.
During the operation, the gearbox should be observed.
Leakage, unusual temperature rises or an increase in the noise respectively vibration
indicate a fault which has to be repaired. If one of these criteria should occur, the
plant has to be shut down immediately. If the fault cannot be eliminated, contact EGT
Eppinger
(chapter 2.5).

Maintenance
CAUTION!
Maintenance may only be carried out by accordingly qualified trained personnel.
Gearboxes from size 140 are equipped with screw plugs to allow an oil change.
Smaller gearboxes are lubricated for life and they are therefore designed without any
screw plugs.
The quantities of oil and the intervals of the oil changes can be gathered from Table
4. The recommended intervals for a change have to be observed.
For special gearboxes and gearboxes with operating conditions outside the specifica-
tion, any separately communicated maintenance intervals and specifications apply.
