6.1
Oil change
Oil change interval: every 5,000 operating hours
Risk of burns due to contact with hot oil.
Slight to moderate injury possible.
Wear protective goggles.
Wear protective gloves.
Drain used gearbox oil into a suitable container if it
is at operating temperature.
The drain ports differ depending on the installation
position and gearbox version (see chap. 4.6.3.1).
Pour new gearbox oil through port I.
The oil level is deemed correct when it reaches the
middle of the oil sight glass when the gearbox is
idle.
The oil level itself is all important. The oil quantity
in liters indicated on the model plate is a reference
value only.
If available, let the oil pump operate briefly after
filling with oil to remove any air and top up with oil
again if necessary.
