Lubrication; Scrapping The Gear Unit; Troubleshooting - BONFIGLIOLI TECNOINGRANAGGI LC Series Installation, Use And Servicing Manual

9.3 LUBRICATION

Gearboxes are filled at the factory with synthetic lubricant in a quantity suitable for operation in any
mounting position. In the absence of contamination the original lubricant charge can be considered " for
life" and no periodical changes are required.
Lubricant specs can be found on the nameplate.

10 SCRAPPING THE GEAR UNIT

This must only be done by operators trained in the observance of applicable laws on health and safety
at work.
Do not dump non-biodegradable products, lubricants and non- ferrous materials (rubber, PVC, resins,
etc.) into the environment. Dispose of all such materials as stipulated by applicable environmental
protection legislation.
Do not attempt to re- use parts or components which appear to be in good condition after they
have been checked and/or replaced by qualified personnel and declared unsuitable for use.
