Check the gear units every six months to ensure they are in good
condition.
Damage to the gear unit can become permanent through failure to
carry out maintenance work.

Keep the ambient temperature constant. Avoid sunshine and high
humidity.
Condensation water can lead to damage during subsequent opera-
