Action
WARNING
Handling gearbox oil involves several safety risks,
see Gearbox lubricants (oil or grease) on page
CAUTION
The gearbox can contain an excess of pressure
that can be hazardous. Use caution when the oil
plug is opened, in order to let out the excess
pressure.
Open the ventilation plug.
Note
The ventilation plug shall be opened prior to the
inspection plug, in order to release possible
pressure inside.
Open the inspection plug.
Inspect the oil level by using caution and jogging
axis-3 very slowly to approximately +3.5° position,
until oil starts to spill out.
Required oil level is when oil starts to spill out
with axis-3 in +3.5° position.
Add or drain oil, if required.
Refit the oil plugs.
DANGER
Make sure all safety requirements are met when
performing the first test run.
