12.3.20 Checking the oil level prior to commissioning
Check the oil level before commissioning. If necessary, correct the oil level.
Siemens recommends a complete oil change after a storage time longer than 24months:
• For gearboxes with long-term preservation.
• For gearboxes supplied completely 󹪝lled with oil.
Follow Checking and changing lubricants (Page514).
Gearbox in special mounting position
The gearbox is intended for a speci󹪝c rotation angle and is delivered with the correct quantity
of oil for this purpose.
It is not possible to check the oil level. You will 󹪝nd information regarding oil quantity and
type of oil on the rating plate.
12.3.21 Mounting the oil expansion tank
An oil expansion unit can be used depending on the power, input speed, mounting position and
transmission ratio. The oil expansion unit is used to equalize changes in the oil volume caused
by temperature 󹪞uctuations in operation.
Before commissioning the gearbox, replace the screw plug with the oil expansion unit.
Oil expansion unit size 39 - 89
The unit is supplied as a mounting kit, and can be attached to the geared motor vertically or
at an angle.
