Oil level

To check the oil level, stop operation of the gear unit.
Depending on the type the following oil levels apply when the motor has cooled down:
When the oil is hot, the oil­level marks may be slightly exceeded. It must in no case be
allowed to fall below the mark. If necessary, top up to the correct level.
The oil level in the oil­supply system must be checked.
For this, the operating instructions of the oil­supply system must be observed!

Irregularities

The drive unit must be switched off at once,
if irregularites are found during the operation
or
if the pressure­monitoring device in the oil­cooling system triggers alarm
(only with correspondingly equipped gear units).
Determine the cause of the fault, using table 18, "Faults, causes and remedy"
(see item 9.2).
Table 18, "Faults, causes and remedy", contains a list of possible faults, their causes
