Therefore also check the gearhead for leakage during each visual inspection.
Maintenance and disposal / LPB Notes on the lubricant used All gearheads are lubricated for their service life by the manufacturer with a mineral oil-based lithium soap grease or with a food-safe synthetic grease (carbon hydride oil, aluminum complex soap) (see type plate). All bearings are permanently lubricated by the company.
/ LPB Malfunctions Malfunctions Changed operational behavior can be an indication of existing damage to the gearhead or cause damage to the gearhead. Do not put the gearhead back into operation until the cause of the malfunction has been rectified. Rectifying of malfunctions may be done by only by especially trained technicians.
