Procedure for gear units with oil expansion tank /ET

Any oil level below or above the level specified by SEW‑EURODRIVE is permitted during operation as long as there is oil in the oil expansion tank [3] and the oil expansion tank does not overflow. However, to ensure proper lubrication of the gear unit under all operating conditions, the oil level must be checked regularly and carefully.
