The gaps between the shaft­sealing rings, if fitted, have already been filled with grease.
• Unscrew the dipstick (2) on the oil­equalising tank.
Note
For data such as oil type, oil viscosity and oil quantity required, refer to section 1, "Technical data").
• Top up the gear unit with fresh oil, using a filter (mesh approx. 10 μm), to begin with with 60 to 70 % of
the oil quantity indicated on the rating plate.
Note
The quality of the oil used must meet the requirements of the separately supplied BA 7300 operating
instructions, otherwise the guarantee given by Siemens will lapse. We urgently recommend using one
of the oils listed in table "T 7300" (for a link to the Internet, see the back cover), as 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 actual oil
quantity to be put in is the MAX mark on the dipstick, when the insert shaft has been run out.
CAUTION
Risk of injury through chemical substances
The oil must not come into contact with the skin (e.g. the operator's hands).
The safety notes on the data sheets for the oil used must be observed.
Remove any oil spillage immediately with a binding agent.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions for handling lubricants.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
• Screw in the dipstick (2) again.
NOTICE

Risk of damage to the wet­air filter.
Prior to using the wet­air filter, 2 of the 8 sealed bores at the underside of the wet­air filter must be opened.
