8.2.4 Oil change intervals

Oil level must be checked every 5,000 hours. If the oil is contaminated, burned or waxed, change
the oil immediately, and flush the gear if necessary.
Under normal operating conditions oil should be changed every 10,000 hours or after 2 years at
the latest. A shorter oil change (every 3000 or 5000 hours) will increase the gear lifetime.
We recommend to change the oil after the first 500 hours of operation.
The recommendations above do not apply to abnormal operating conditions, i.e., high tempera-
ture, high humidity or corrosive environments. If any of these situations exist, the lubricant may
have to be changed more frequently.

9.1 Re-greasing of grease lubricated gears
Unfasten the grease control screws and replenish with a grease gun through the grease nipple at
the flange on the output part or the motor flange
grease control screws
Continue re-greasing with the gear unit in operation to provide proper circulation of the grease.
For each re-greasing use about one third to half of the quantity shown by the graph in 8.1.2
stage 1. If too much grease is applied, the operating heat can lead to a rise in the lubricant tem-
perature or grease might be forced into the motor or escape through the seals.
Remove grease residuals on the control screw and dispose of as required by environmental reg-
ulations.
