Failure to observe these operating instructions can cause product or property damage or personal injury. Flender does not accept any liability for damage or operating failures which are due to non- adherence to these operating instructions. The gear unit described in these instructions reflects the state of technical development at the time these operating instructions went to print.
The quality of the oil used must meet the requirements of the operating instructions BA 7300, which is provided as a separate item, otherwise the warranty provided by Flender will be void. Flender urgently recommends using one of the oils listed in BA 7300, all of which have been appropriately tested and meet the requirements.
Page 13
Flender recommends regular inspection to ascertain whether the selected lubricating oil is still approved by Flender. If it is not, another brand of oil should be selected instead. Assembly and operating instructions 5091en...
In order to safeguard plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats it is necessary to implement (and continually maintain) a holistic industrial security concept that corresponds to the current state of the art. Flender products and solutions undergo continuous development in this respect.

Carefully ensure that the pre-lubrication phase is not longer than 5 minutes as the oil can foam up at low temperatures. For oil temperatures below 10 °C, heat up the oil using suitable measures and contact Flender in this regard. Further information You can find additional information on the oil cooling system in the separate data sheet, and in the equipment list in the complete gear unit documentation.
Commissioning 6.2 Measures during commissioning • Check all the connection lines are securely tightened and leak-free. • For gear units with bearing monitoring by measuring the vibration: Measure the vibration levels of the rolling-contact bearings (Page 130) to create initial and comparison values. •...

1. Switch off the drive assembly if it exhibits irregular behaviour during operation. 2. Refer to the Fault information (Page 135) to find the cause of the fault. 3. If you still cannot determine the fault cause, contact Flender Customer Services. DANGER An explosive atmosphere can be ignited An explosive atmosphere can be ignited if the gear unit overheats as the oil level is too low.
Servicing General maintenance information The operator must ensure compliance with the stipulated time limits. This also applies if the maintenance activities are included in the operator’s internal maintenance schedules. The gear unit could be damaged if the stipulated time limits for maintenance and servicing are not observed.

Replenish grease in the oil retaining pipe Introduction Only use grease that has been approved by Flender as specified in BA 7300. The precise designation of the grease nipple is provided in the complete documentation. The following diagram shows the lubrication points: ①...
Servicing 8.3 Maintenance and servicing work CAUTION Risk of slipping as a result of grease that has escaped There is a danger of slipping if the grease escapes from the oil retaining pipe. Immediately remove any grease that has escaped from the oil retaining pipe and dispose of it correctly.
Before you use a cleaning agent, check whether it is suitable for use on the cooling coil materials. You must consult Flender Customer Services. Carefully read the instructions for use supplied by the manufacturer before using different kinds of cleaning agent.
8.3 Maintenance and servicing work 5. If the cooling coil is severely soiled, it must be replaced by a new one. Please consult Flender Customer Services for further advice. 6. Reconnect the cooling water inlet and drain lines to the cooling coil.
Possible faults The faults listed below are only intended as a troubleshooting guide. If any faults occur while the unit is still under warranty, do not allow anyone except Flender Customer Services to attempt a repair. Even after the warranty period has expired, you should still arrange for faults to be rectified by Flender Customer Services.
