WARNING
When filling gearbox oil, do not mix different types of oil as this may cause severe
damage to the gearbox! Always use the type of oil specified by the manufacturer!
If the oils are mixed, the gearbox must be thoroughly rinsed! Contact ABB for
further instructions!
WARNING
When filling gearbox oil, do not overfill, since this could lead to internal
over-pressure inside the gearbox which in turn may:
• - damage seals and gaskets
