Note
If the suspended robot is design Type C and Type D, the oil level can not be
inspected while the robot is hanging upside down. To make sure that the correct
amount of oil is refilled after some repair work, make a note of how much oil was
drained and make sure to refill with the same amount. If in doubt, the suspended
robot must be dismantled from its suspended position, secured in a floor mounted
position, and then the oil level can be inspected according to
gearbox oil level in a floor mounted robot on page
Note
If the suspended robot is Other design than Type C and Type D, and the axis-1
gearbox is filled with an amount of oil suited for an inverted position, the oil level
can only be inspected in the inverted position! If the robot was taken down to
stand on the floor, the oil level would be above the oil plug hole, which would
result in oil leakage if the plug would be opened while robot stands on the floor!
