If you have any technical queries, please contact one of our Customer Services addresses
(Page 53).

1.2 Lubricants
The oil used must meet the quality requirements specified in the separately enclosed operating
instructions BA 7300 or else the warranty issued by Siemens will be invalidated. Siemens
strongly recommends use of one of the oils listed in BA 7300 as these have been properly
tested and meet the relevant quality requirements.
In order to avoid any misunderstandings, Siemens wishes to point out that this
recommendation does not constitute an approval in the sense of a guarantee for the quality
of the lubricant obtained from a supplier. Every lubricant manufacturer is required to guarantee
the quality of his/her products.
Information such as oil type, oil viscosity and required oil quantity can be found on the rating
plate of the gear unit and in the documentation supplied with the gear unit.
The oil quantity specified on the rating plate is an approximate value. The actual quantity of
oil required is determined by the marking on the oil dipstick or oil sight glass.
The operating instructions for the lubricants currently recommended by Siemens AG can also
be viewed on the Internet (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/44231658).
The oils listed there undergo continuous testing. As a result, the recommended oil types might
in future be removed from the list or replaced by more advanced oils.
Siemens therefore advises users to check this list regularly to ascertain whether the selected
lubricating oil is still recommended by Siemens. If it is not, another brand of oil should be
selected instead.
