7.2.1
Oil level
Depending on the type the following oil levels are correct:
─ Middle of the oilsight glass
─ Middle between the MIN and MAX marks on the oillevel indicator
─ Middle between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick
Note
When cooled down the oil must be visible beneath the middle of the oilsight glass, between the MIN and
MAX marks on the oillevel indicator or between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
Hot oil may slightly exceed the middle of the oilsight glass or the MAX mark on the oillevel indicator or
the MAX mark on the dipstick.
DANGER
Risk of explosion
Ignition of a potentially explosive atmosphere possible through overheating of the gear unit in case of too
low oil level.
Check the oil level.
Under no circumstances must it be allowed to fall below the lower edge on the oilsight glass, the MIN
mark on the oillevel indicator or the MIN mark on the dipstick. If necessary, top up oil to the correct level.
7.2.2
Gear unit with cooling coil or external oilsupply system
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the gear unit through missing or insufficient cooling and/or lubrication.
Fully open the stop valves in the coolant in and outflow pipes of the cooling system.
After starting up the external oilsupply system for the first time the oil level in the gear unit must be once
more checked in accordance with item 7.2.1.
Note
For technical data and control information, refer to the data sheet and/or the list of equipment.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the gear unit through missing lubrication.
