8.2 Oil level
Note
For checking the oil level, the gear unit must be stopped.
Depending on the type of the gearunit housing the following oil levels are correct when the oil has cooled
down:
– Middle of the oilsight glass
– Middle between the MIN and MAX marks on the oillevel indicator
– Middle between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick
When cooled down the oil must be visible beneath the middle of the oilsight glass, between the MIN and
MAX marks on the oillevel indicator or between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick. Hot oil may
slightly exceed the middle of the oilsight glass or the MAX mark on the oillevel indicator or the MAX mark
on the dipstick.
NOTICE
Material damage
Insufficient lubrication possible through too low oil level.
Check the oil level.
Under no circumstances must it be allowed to fall below the lower edge on the oilsight glass, the MIN
mark on the oillevel indicator or the MIN mark on the dipstick. If necessary, top up oil to the correct level.
Note
The oil level in the oilsupply system must be checked.
For this, the operating instructions of the oilsupply system must be observed.
DANGER
Risk of explosion
Ignition of a potentially explosive atmosphere possible through overheating of the gear unit in case of too
low oil level.
Check the oil level.
Under no circumstances must it be allowed to fall below the lower edge on the oilsight glass, the MIN
mark on the oillevel indicator or the MIN mark on the dipstick. If necessary, top up oil to the correct level.
