Check Tightness Of Screw Connections; Final Work; General Inspection Of The Gear Unit; Lubricants - Siemens FLENDER B3 E Series Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

As a precaution, the dimension "x" should be checked whenever an oil change of the gear unit
is made. Dimension "x" must be over 0.8 mm.
Upon reaching x = 0.8 mm, consultation with our customer service is an absolute must.
To avoid damaging the backstop or the gear unit, the motor must not be run adversely
to the stop direction of the gear unit.
Observe the notice fixed to the gear unit.

10.2.13 Check tightness of screw connections

The instructions in item 10.1 must be observed!
Close the stop valves in the coolant in­ and outflow pipes (gear units with cooling coil or water oil­cooling
system).
Check tightness of all screw connections (see item 6.24).
Damaged bolts must be replaced with new bolts of the same type and strength class.
10.3

Final work

For operating and servicing the components, the pertinent instruction manuals and the
specifications in sections 5 and 7 must be observed.
For technical data, refer to the data sheet and/or the list of equipment.
Observe also item 6.23.
10.4

General inspection of the gear unit

The general inspection of the gear unit should be carried out by the Siemens Customer Service, as our
engineers have the experience and training necessary to identify any components requiring replacement.
10.5

Lubricants

The quality of the oil used must meet the requirements of the separately supplied BA 7300 EN operating
instructions, otherwise the guarantee given by Siemens will lapse. We urgently recommend using one of
the oils listed in BA 7300 EN, because they have been tested and meet the requirements.
To avoid misunderstandings, we should like to point out that this recommendation is in no way
intended as a guarantee of the quality of the lubricant supplied. Each lubricant manufacturer
is responsible for the quality of his own product.
Information on the type, quantity and viscosity of the oil is given on the rating plate on the gear unit and/or
in the supplied documentation.
The quantity of oil indicated on the rating plate is an approximation only. The marks on the oil dipstick or
oil­sight glass are decisive for the amount of oil to be filled in.
The manual containing the current lubricants recommended by Siemens can also be consulted on the
Internet (see back cover).
The oils listed there are subjected to continuous tests. Under certain circumstances the oils recommended
there may therefore later be removed from the range or replaced with further developed oils.
We recommend regularly checking whether the selected lubricating oil is still recommended by Siemens.
If it is not, the brand of oil should be changed.
