9.1.2  Maintenance intervals 
General information 
Careful and regular maintenance, inspections, and overhauls are essential for detecting and 
eliminating faults in good time before they can cause any consequential damage. 
 
NOTICE 
 
Inspection if there are faults or unusual conditions 
Unusual conditions or faults that place undue electrical or mechanical stress on the three-
phase motor (e.g. overload, short-circuit, etc.) can cause consequential damage to the 
machine. 
If faults or any unusual conditions occur (e.g overload or short-circuit, etc.), the machine 
must be inspected immediately. 
 
Measures, inspection/maintenance intervals  
Operating conditions and performance can vary widely. For this reason, only general 
maintenance intervals for problem-free operation can be specified here.  
●  Maintenance intervals should therefore be scheduled to suit the on-site conditions 
(fouling, switching frequency, load, etc.). 
●  Perform the following measures after the operation time or the interval specified in the 
table below elapses. 
Table 9- 1  Measures after operation times or intervals 
Measures  Operation times and intervals 
Replace the bearings   After the recommended bearing replacement intervals (see the 
chapter titled "Bearing replacement intervals") 
Replace the radial shaft sealing 
rings 
Approximately every 10,000 operating hours with oil lubrication
