Removal from service

• Switch off drive unit.
Secure the drive unit to prevent it from being started up unintentionally.
Attach a warning notice to the start switch!
• Close the stop valves in the coolant in­ and outflow pipes (on gear units with oil­cooling system only).
In the case of water oil­cooler, drain the water. Frost hazard!
• Start the gear unit and allow it to run briefly (5 to 10 minutes) approx. every 3 weeks (during a shut­down
period no longer than 6 months).
• Treat the gear unit with preservative, see items 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 (before a shut­down period exceeding
6 months).
7.3.1

Interior preservation during longer disuse

Depending on the type of lubrication and/or shaft sealing, the following types of interior preservation can
be applied.

7.3.1.1 Interior preservation with gear oil

Gear units with splash­lubrication systems and contacting shaft seals can be filled with the correct type of
service oil up to a point just below the air filter.

7.3.1.2 Interior preservation with preservative agent

Before longer shut­down periods gear units with forced lubrication systems, oil circulation cooling and/or
non­contacting shaft seals should be filled with preservative agent and run without load.
