Lubricants
Unless a special arrangement is made, SEW‑EURODRIVE supplies the drives with a
lubricant fill adapted for the specific gear unit and mounting position. The mounting po-
sition (see chapter
"
)) must therefore be specified in the
drive order. You must adapt the lubricant fill in case of any subsequent changes made
to the mounting position (see chapter "Lubricant fill quantities" (→

Bearing greases
The gear unit rolling bearings are given a factory-fill with the greases listed below.
SEW‑EURODRIVE recommends re-greasing the rolling bearings with a grease filling
at the same time as changing the oil.
