WARNING
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.
– Always wear gloves and suitable personal protective equipment (See Page 37)
when changing oil on the planetary gears.
– 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.
