– Before oil change, each time stop the machine and switch off the engine.
– The machine must be secured against inadvertent starting of the engine.
– All maintenance and repair work may only be performed by trained personnel.
WARNUNG
Hazard of hot oil emitting under pressure!
The oil of the planetary gears may become very hot and, due to heating up, may be
under some pressure.
– During oil change for the planetary gears, always wear gloves and suitable protec-
tive clothing.
– Always first unscrew the bleeding screw very slowly and with the required cau-
tion. So that the pressure, which may have built up in the planetary gears, can be
relieved without danger.
