Maintenance
Lubricating Axis 1 Gear Reduction Unit (S59 )
• Remove the cover on the base (4). (See figure below.)
• Remove the plug (3).
• Fit an R1/2” grease nipple and drain tube.
• Grease through the nipple (1).
• Continue greasing until new grease exudes from the drain tube. See Vol-
ume below.
• Axis 1 should be slowly moved backwards and forwards while greasing.
• Move the axes backwards and forwards a couple of times before the plugs
are replaced, so that excess grease is pressed out. This is to prevent over-
pressure in the gearbox, with risks for leakage.
Volume:
1.3 litres (0.36 US gallon).
About 3.0 litres (0.82 US gallon) should be used when changing the
grease.
Type of grease:
ABB 3HAA 1001-294
