Gearbox with compensation container (preferably for mounting pos. "C")

Temperature fluctuations generate changes in the lubricant volume. A compensation
reservoir serves to compensate for the change in volume in each case.
The compensation reservoir is supplied as a mounting set. Before commissioning, the
oil vent plug must be replaced with the reservoir.
Mounting and dismounting: , mounting instructions for the compensation reservoir

the use of a compensation reservoir may also be advisable in other
mounting positions.
