A detailed view of the gear unit can be obtained from the drawings in the gearunit documentation.
Prior to startup replace the yellow plastic screw plug with the air filter.
For details regarding the auxiliary gear unit, if fitted, see the special operating instructions.
(The auxiliary gear unit is delivered ex works with an oil filling.)
7.1.3
Filling with lubricant
The gear unit is supplied with lubricant by the separate oilsupply system.
The quality of the oil used must meet the requirements of the separately supplied BA 7300
instructions manual, otherwise the guarantee given by Siemens will lapse. We urgently
recommend using one of the oils listed in table "T 7300" (for a link, see the BA 7300 instructions
manual supplied separately), because they have been tested and meet the requirements.
Information on the type, quantity and viscosity of the oil is given on the rating plate on the gear
unit.
The oil quantity shown on the rating plate is to be understood as an approximate quantity. The
marks on the oilsight glass or angular oillevel indicator are decisive for the amount of oil to be
filled in.
•
Check the oil level in the gearunit housing with the angular oillevel indicator or of the oilsight glass.
The oil must come up to the middle of the oilsight glass or of the angular oillevel indicator.
Any oil spillage must be removed immediately with an oilbinding agent.
