Machine maintenance and care
11.4 Preserving / long downtimes
Prepare the machine for long downtimes as follows:
• Clean machine thoroughly,
• Lubricate, oil and grease machine,
• Correct paint damage.
11.5 Check gear oil / top up / change
• check the oil level regularly / top up,
On each gearbox you must:
• change the gear oil,
• carry out the first oil change after 50 hours of operation.
CAUTION
Hazards from damage to machine component parts arise when
gearboxes are actuated without gear oil!
Make sure the oil level in the gears is always sufficient.
WARNING
There is a danger of exposed persons slipping down if gear oil
leaks during oil topping-up / oil change!
Remove fresh oil blotches immediately with binding agents.
• If possible you should carry out the oil change when the gear oil
has heated up to operating temperature (30 – 40°C). At
operating temperature, the viscosity of the gear oil is at its best.
• The optimum oil level is reached at an oil temperature of
0 - 20°C.
