10.2 Checking and changing lubricants
NOTICE
Contaminations of the oil impair the lubricity
Do not mix the gearbox oil with other substances.
Do not flush with paraffin or other solvents, as traces of these substances will always remain
inside the gearbox.
Note
The oil must be warm because insufficient viscosity caused by oil that is too cold impairs correct
emptying.
If necessary, run the gearbox for 15 to 30 minutes to become warm.
10.2.5.2
Draining the oil

5. Check the state of the sealing ring on the sealing element. If the sealing ring is damaged,
replace the sealing element with a new one.
6. After draining the oil, seal the gearbox immediately using the sealing element.
You have now drained the oil from the gearbox.
