9.2 Oil level check

The oil level can be checked by the oil level indicator
The oil level indicator is normally located on the right side of horizontal mounted gears, looking at
it from the output flange. The indicator can be mounted left or right, therefore, choose the side
which gives better visibility.
During operation, the lower marking at the oil level indicator shows the normal oil level.
Immediately after starting the machine, the level may fall below the lower red marking. This is to
be considered as normal, as the oil level increases when the viscosity of the oil reduces due to
the normal operating temperature.

9.3 Oil check

Before checking the oil, the main electrical supply must be disconnected
.
Wait for the unit to cool to prevent burns!
Collect an oil sample at the oil drain.
Check oil condition and viscosity
If the oil is contaminated, change the oil even if the intervals according to 8.2.4 are not due.
Dispose of the oil sample according to environmental protection instructions.
