For lubricant change intervals refer to the maintenance heading.
1. Place an adequate container under the drain plug.
2. Remove the filler and drain plugs and allow the oil to drain out.
The oil will drain better if it is warm.
Adopt protection against contact with hot parts: risk of burns!
3. Wait for a few minutes to ensure all the oil has drained out, and then refit the drain plug after
renewing the relative gasket and cleaning the drain plug magnet carefully.
4. Fill the gear unit with the new oil (in its actual mounting position) to the centre of the level plug.
5. Tighten down the filler plug after fitting a new gasket.
The quantity of oil to be filled is specified in the Sales Catalogue. Note however that this
quantity is guideline and that reference must always be made to the mid-point of the
level plug, which is positioned in relation to the mounting position of the gear unit
specified in the order, bearing in mind that the level may be slightly higher if the oil is
hot.
Lubricants, solvents and detergents are toxic/harmful to health:
they may cause irritation in direct contact with the skin
they may cause intoxication if inhaled
they can be fatal if swallowed.
Handle them with care using suitable individual safety equipment. Do not dump into the
environment and dispose of in compliance with applicable legislation.
In the case of lubricant leaks adopt the necessary measures to dispose of the leaked lubricant

If a leak is detected, before replenishing the lubricant and restarting the gear unit make
sure the cause of the problem has been identified.
