7.6.1
Interior preservation for longer disuse
Depending on the type of lubrication and/or shaft sealing, the following types of interior preservation can
be applied.
7.6.1.1 Interior preservation with gearunit oil
Gear units with splashlubrication systems and contacting shaft seals can be topped up with the type of
oil already filled in to a level just below the air filter or wetair filter.
The durability period of this type of preservation depends on the age of the shaftsealing rings and the oil.
Note
After a preservation period exceeding 36 months the radial shaftsealing rings must be replaced before
startup.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage through insufficient lubrication through undetected leakage.
The leaktightness of the gear unit must be checked regularly every 4 weeks.
•
Unscrew the air filter with reducing screw or the wetair filter (1) (see fig. 14 or fig. 15 in item 7.1.2).
•
Top up gearunit oil through the hole up to just beneath the air filter or wetair filter.
Note
For gearunit oils refer to table "T 7300" (for a link to the Internet, see the back cover).
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.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
•
Replace the air filter with reducing screw or the wetair filter (1) with the screw plug.
