The quality of the oil used must meet the requirements of the instructions7300, which is
provided as a separate item, otherwise the warranty provided by Flender will be void. Flen-
derurgently recommends that one of the oil types listed in instructions 7300, which have
been appropriately tested and comply with the requirements, is used.
To avoid misunderstandings, Flender points out that, by making this recommendation, it is
not approving the product in the sense of expressing a warranty for the quality of the lubric-
ants supplied by your supplier. Every lubricant manufacturer is required to guarantee the
quality of his/her products.
Information such as oil type, oil viscosity and required oil quantity can be found on the rating
plate of the gear unit and in the documentation supplied with the gear unit.
The oil quantity specified on the rating plate is an approximate value. The actual quantity of
oil required is determined by the marking on the oil dipstick or oil sight glass.
The operating instructions for the current lubricant recommendations of Flender can also be
viewed on the Internet (https://www.flender.com/lubricants).
The oils listed there undergo continuous testing. As a result, the recommended oil types
might in future be removed from the list or replaced by more advanced oils.
Flender recommends regular inspection to ascertain whether the selected lubricating oil is
still approved by Flender. If it is not, another brand of oil should be selected instead.
