13.1. Inspection and maintenance intervals
Gear units of the model range C (sizes 00 to 06), F (sizes 02 to 05) and K (sizes 02 to 05) are maintenance-free, oil
change is not necessary. The gear units are executed without vent plug, there are no oil drain or oil level screws..
For special applications under difcult/aggressive ambient conditions, we recommend oil change after 10000 service hours,
nevertheless.
Gear units of the model range C (sizes 07 and 08), F (sizes 06 and 07) and K (sizes 06 and 07) need an oil change according to the maintenance periods. The gear units are executed with oil drain plugs/oil lling screws for the main mounting
positions.
For special applications under difcult/aggressive ambient conditions, please contact your service partner!

13.2. Inspection and maintenance work on gear unit
No explosive atmosphere may be prevented in any maintenance or repair work. Maintenance and repair
work must only be performed by qualied specialists in the eld.
Maintenance and repair work are only to be carried out on a drive, which is in standstill with zero potential
and secured against accidental switch on.
Before beginning the work let the gear cool down! Danger of burning!
Visible inspection of seals for leakage:
Make certain that no gear oil is leaking and that no oil traces can be found. In particular, the shaft seals and locking caps,
as well as the sealing surface must be checked.
Check the rubber buffer set:
The rubber buffer set must be checked for visible damage, such as cracks on the surface, and they must be replaced in
some cases.
