Replace The Wet­air Filter - Siemens FLENDER H3LV Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

To top up oil:
• Unscrew the dipstick (3) on the oil­equalising tank.
• Top up the gear unit with fresh oil using a filling filter (mesh approx. 10 μm), until the oil reaches the lower
mark on the dipstick. Do not put in any further oil. The viscosity of the oil in cold condition will cause the
oil level to continue rising slowly. If necessary, put in further oil up to the MAX mark on the dipstick, with
the insert shaft run out, only after the oil level has steadied.
Note
Always top up with the same type of oil as already used in the unit (see also item 10.2.2).
For data such as oil type, oil viscosity and oil quantity required, refer to section 1 "Technical data").
• Check the oil level using the dipstick (3).
Note
The oil must come up to the MAX mark on the dipstick, when the insert shaft has been run out.
CAUTION
Risk of scalding
Risk of injury through escaping hot oil.
Wear suitable protective gloves, protective glasses and protective clothing.
Remove any oil spillage immediately with an oil­binding agent.
10.2.3 Replace the wet­air filter
The wet­air filter has a container filled with "silica gel". The air humidity absorbed by the "silica gel" changes
the colour of the gel from "blue" to "pink" (visible through the transparent container). Replacement of the
complete wet­air filter is only necessary when the "silica gel" has gone completely pink.
• Unscrew the wet­air filter and replace it with a new one.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the wet­air filter.
Prior to using the wet­air filter, 2 of the 8 sealed bores at the underside of the wet­air filter must be opened.
