In general, 8.8 grade bolts are sufcient for correct installation. Under particularly harsh operating
conditions, grade 10.9 bolts can also be used.
If grade 10.9 bolts are used, make sure that the structure in which they are tted is of adequate strength.
Do not use bolts graded higher than 8.8 to install gearboxes with mounting elements (casing, ange or foot)
made from aluminium.
20. Fill the gearbox with oil or top up as necessary, as instructed in the “LUBRICATION” section in this
manual.
