Description
Changing and draining gearbox
oil may require handling hot oil of
up to 90 °C!
When opening the oil plug, there
may be pressure present in the
gearbox, causing oil to spray from
the opening!
Overfilling of gearbox oil can lead
to internal over-pressure inside
the gearbox which in turn may:
damage seals and gaskets com-
pletely press out seals and gas-
kets prevent the manipulator from
moving freely.
Mixing types of oil may cause
severe damage to the gearbox!
Warm oil drains quicker than cold
oil.
The specified amount of oil is
based on the total volume of the
gearbox. When changing the oil,
the amount of refilled oil may dif-
fer from the specified amount,
depending on how much oil has
previously been drained from the
gearbox.
