7.1.5.1 Oil level
Fill in as much oil so that the required oil level of the gear unit is reached (MIN and MAX mark on the oil level
indicator of the main gear unit), the tilting pad thrust bearing chamber, (see Figure 8 in item 7.1.3) and/or
on the oil-supply system (if the model has a tank), while the gear unit is stopped and the oil pump of the
oil-supply system (low-pressure lubrication circuit) is in operation (also see the operating instructions for
the oil-supply system).
NOTICE
Property damage
Deficient lubrication by oil level too low is possible.
Notice the oil level.
The oil level must never be below the MIN mark on the oil level indicator of the main gear unit, the tilting
pad thrust bearing chamber and/or the oil-supply system (if the model has a tank, also see operating
instructions for the oil-supply system).
Fill up oil if necessary.
CAUTION
Risk of injury from chemical substances
The oil must not come into contact with the skin (e.g. the operator’s hands).
The safety notes on the data sheets for the oil used must be observed here.
Remove any spilled oil immediately using an oil binding agent.
Observe the manufacturer’s instructions for handling lubricants.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
7.1.5.2 Procedure for filling
Note
The descriptions of the procedure as well as the particularities to be considered regarding the topic
"Filling in new gear unit oil" and additional topics relating to the handling of the gear unit and/or the
preservative oil are contained in the separately provided operating instructions BA 7300.
Please also notice the following information and processes in addition:
• Fill out the existing checklists and logs (e. g. "Checklist for oil filling and oil change" and "Documentation
sheet for oil change" in the separately enclosed operating instructions BA 7300) and file these with the
documentation.
NOTICE
Property damage
Damage can be caused to the gear unit if low-quality operating oils or not approved oils are used.
The quality of the oil used must meet the requirements of the separately supplied BA 7300 instructions
manual, 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 back cover), as they have been tested and
meet the requirements.
Data, such as oil type, oil viscosity can be found in the "Technical data" prepared specifically for the
order.
