Faults
Causes
Remedy
Oil escapes.
Incorrect oil level for the mounting
position being used.
Check the mounting position (Page 84)
and the oil level (Page 62).
Gearbox leaks.
Checking the gearbox for leaks
(Page 75).
Overpressure due to lack of venting.
Mount the venting as appropriate for
the mounting position (Page 84).
Overpressure due to soiled venting.
Clean the venting (Page 75).
Shaft sealing rings defective.
Replace the shaft sealing rings.
Cover / flange bolts loose.
Checking the tightness of fastening
bolts (Page 77). Continue to monitor
the gearbox.
Surface sealing defective (for exam-
ple, on cover or flange).
Reseal.
Damage in transit (for example hairline
cracks).
Check the gearbox for damage in trans-
it.
Oil leak at the
gearbox vent
Incorrect oil level for the mounting
position used and / or incorrect venting
position.
Check the venting position, the mount-
ing position (Page 84) and the oil level
(Page 62).
Frequent cold starts during which the
oil foams up.
Call Technical Support.
Gearbox over-
heats.
Motor fan cover and / or gearbox very
dirty.
Clean the fan cover and surface of the
