10.2.11 Top up oil
• The instructions in item 7.1 must be observed!
• Always top up with the same type of oil as already used (see also item 10.2.2).
10.2.12 Check tightness of fastening bolts
• The instructions in item 10.1 must be observed!
• Check tightness of all the fastening bolts.
Note
Damaged bolts must be replaced with new bolts of the same type and strength class.
10.3 Final work
Note
For operating and servicing all components, the pertinent operating instructions and the specifications
relating to the components in sections 5, "Technical description", and 7, "Startup", must be observed.
For technical data and control information, refer to the data sheet and/or the list of equipment.
The instructions in item 6.18 must be observed.
Damaged bolts must be replaced with new bolts of the same type and strength class.
10.4 General inspection of the gear unit
The general inspection of the gear unit should be carried out by the Siemens Customer Service, as our
engineers have the experience and training necessary to identify any components requiring replacement.
10.5 Lubricants
The quality of the oil used must meet the requirements of the separately supplied BA 7300 operating
instructions, otherwise the guarantee given by Siemens will lapse. We urgently recommend using one of
the oils listed in table "T 7300" (for a link to the Internet, see the back cover), as they have been tested and
meet the requirements.
Note
To avoid misunderstandings, we should like to point out that this recommendation is in no way intended
as a guarantee of the quality of the lubricant supplied. Each lubricant manufacturer is responsible for the
quality of his own product.
Information on the type, viscosity and required quantity of the oil is given on the rating plate on the gear unit
and/or in the supplied documentation.
The oil quantity shown on the rating plate is to be understood as an approximate quantity. The actual oil
quantity to be put in is the middle of the oilsight glass, the middle between the MIN and MAX marks on the
oillevel indicator or the middle between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The BA 7300 instructions manual relating to the gearunit lubrication and table "T 7300" containing the
current lubricant recommendations of Siemens can also be consulted on the internet (see back cover).
The oils listed there are subjected to continuous tests. Under certain circumstances the oils recommended
there may therefore later be removed from the range or replaced with further developed oils.
We recommend checking before any oil change whether the chosen lubricant is still approved by Siemens.
