6.5 OIL REPLACEMENT OF VERTICALLY MOUNTED COUPLINGS
The first transmission oil change must be carried out after 2000 operating hours
and later every 4000 operating hours. The use of the coupling in particularly
dusty environments also shortens the planned intervals and requires oil
replacement every 1000 operating hours. The oil must be changed even after
a partial start-up of the motor, so that impurities are suspended in the oil. After
that, please follow the described procedure:
CAUTION
Before transmission oil replacement, observe the following steps:
A- stop the motor and wait for the rotation components to stop
B- cut out power supply and apply a safety padlock,
C- signal the operation under way,
D- wait for the cooling, if needed (max 40°C).
6.6.1
Open the accident-prevention guard of the operating room to access the coupling.
6.6.2
Put under the coupling a suitable bowl of appropriate capacity to collect
transmission oil.
CAUTION
Before removing the oil filler plug, take suitable cloths to protect
yourself against oil splashes due to residual pressures.
6.6.3
Unscrew the upper plug.
6.6.4
Unscrew the lower plug and wait until all the oil flows out completely.
