10.1 General notes on maintenance
All maintenance and repair work must be done with care and by duly trained and qualified personnel only.
The following applies to all work in item 10.2:
Switch the gear unit and addon components off.
Secure the drive unit to prevent it from being started up unintentionally.
Attach a warning notice to the start switch!
The periods indicated in table 12 depend on the conditions under which the gear unit

a daily operating time of 24 h
a duty factor “ED” of 100 %
Operating temperature of 90°C (applies to mineral oil)
100 °C (applies to synthetic oil)
The operator must ensure that the intervals stated in table 12 are adhered to.
This also applies if the maintenance work is included in the operator’s internal
