5.2.5 Visual inspection of the hoses (Option: OT, CS2-X)
Gear units with an oil tank and external cooling units have rubber hoses.
Check the hoses and screw connectors for leaks, cuts, tears, porous areas and chafing. In case of
damage, the hoses must be replaced. Please contact the NORD service department.
5.2.6 Re-greasing (Option: VL2, VL3, W, AI, AN)
Some gear unit designs are equipped with a re-greasing device.
For the agitator versions VL2 and VL3, unscrew the vent screw opposite the grease nipple prior to re-
greasing. Inject grease until a quantity of 20 - 25g escapes from the vent hole. Screw the vent screw
back in.
For option W and the IEC/NEMA adapters AI and AN with option BRG1, grease the outer roller
bearing with approx. 20–25 g of grease at the grease nipple. The grease nipple is located under a
bolt-on inspection cover. Before re-greasing, unscrew the grease drain screw so that the excess
grease can drain off. Remove the excess grease on the motor adapter.
