DANGER
Turn off all:
• electric power supply
• hydraulic pressure supply
• air pressure supply
to the robot, before entering the robot
working area.
WARNING
Handling gearbox oil involves several safety
risks, see Gearbox lubricants (oil or grease)
on page 36.
CAUTION
The gearbox can contain an excess of
pressure that can be hazardous. Open the
oil plug carefully in order to let out the ex-
cess pressure.
Open oil plug, draining.
Drain the gearbox oil using an oil collecting
vessel.
Tip
Insert a compressed air hose approximately
100 mm into the gearbox, to vent the gear-
box.
This speeds up the draining significantly.
