Service and maintenance
8.2 Checking and changing lubricants
Note
Gearbox in special mounting position
The gearbox is intended for a specific rotation angle and is delivered with the correct quantity
of oil for this purpose.
It is not possible to check the oil level. You will find information regarding oil quantity and
type of oil on the rating plate.
When draining the oil a higher residual quantity of oil may remain in the gearbox. When you
carry out an oil change remove any residual oil.
8.2.2

Checking the oil level

NOTICE
The gearbox oil volume changes depending on the temperature
If the temperature rises, the volume increases. Where temperature differences and filling
quantities are significant, the volume difference can amount to several liters.
The oil level must therefore be checked while still slightly warm, approximately 30 minutes
after switching off the drive component.
