Lubricants
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.
To avoid misunderstandings, we should like to point out that this recommendation is in no way
intended as a guarantee of the quality of the lubricant supplied. Each lubricant manufacturer
is responsible for the quality of his own product.
Information on the type, viscosity and required quantity of the oil is given on the rating plate on the gear unit
and/or in the supplied documentation.
The oil quantity shown on the rating plate is to be understood as an approximate quantity. The marks on
the oil dipstick or oilsight glass are decisive for the amount of oil to be filled in.
The BA 7300 instructions manual relating to the gearunit lubrication and table "T 7300" containing the
current lubricant recommendations of Siemens can also be consulted on the internet (see back cover).
The oils listed there are subjected to continuous tests. Under certain circumstances the oils recommended
there may therefore later be removed from the range or replaced with further developed oils.
We recommend regularly checking whether the selected lubricating oil is still recommended by Siemens.
If it is not, the brand of oil should be changed.
