The maintenance intervals are determined
depending on the specific conditions of the
application.
The criteria are machine-specific settings
such as lubricant quantity, ambient and
operating conditions, and the purity of the
lubricant used.
Due to these conditions, the customer
defines and maintains the maintenance
intervals.
If the reservoir has been emptied, the entire
system must be ventilated after refilling
(assembly instructions, Chapter
4.15).

8.2 Maintenance schedule
Maintenance intervals vary depending on the system and are affected by environmental
factors such as dust and heat. The maintenance intervals are therefore defined by the
system manufacturer.
The purity of the lubricants used is the
decisive factor in the service life of the
gear pump unit.
