7.5.3
Oillevel monitoring (optional)
The gear unit can be fitted with an oillevel monitor by means of a fillinglevel limit switch. The oillevel
monitoring device has been designed for checking the oil level when the gear unit is at a standstill, prior
to operating start.
Note
Wiring should be in such a way that, when the signal "Oil level too low" is given, the drive motor cannot
start and that a warning signal is emitted. During operation, any signal should be bridged.
7.5.4
Checking procedure
The following visual checks must be conducted and recorded when starting up:
□
Oil level
□
Leaktightness of the oilcooling or oilsupply lines
□
Opening condition of the shutoff valves
□

□
Freedom of the rotating parts from contact

DANGER
Danger to life through switchedon installation
To carry out work on the gear unit, the gear unit must always be stopped.
The drive unit must be secured against being switched on accidentally (e.g. by locking the key switch
or removing the fuses from the power supply).
A notice should be attached to the ON switch stating clearly that work is in progress on the gear unit.
•
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 7.6.1 and 7.6.2 (before a removal from service for
a period exceeding 6 months).
