Introduction
Layers of dust may affect the dissipation of heat through the surface of the oil supply system,
resulting in overheating. Depending on the operating conditions, it may therefore be necessary
to clean the oil supply system more frequently than stated in the maintenance schedule.
Procedure
Proceed as follows to clean the oil supply system:
1. Use a stiff brush to remove stubborn dirt from the oil supply system. Never use a high-
pressure cleaning device.
2. Remove any spots of corrosion.
Note
Loss of warranty
You will invalidate the warranty for the oil supply system if you modify it in any way without
seeking the approval of Siemens beforehand, or if you do not use original spare parts.
Only use original spare parts from Siemens. Always arrange for Siemens Customer Services
to repair any faults that develop while the unit is still under warranty.
DANGER
Danger to life due to live system
Death or serious injury will occur.
Shut down the oil supply system before commencing any kind of work on it. Secure the drive
unit against accidental startup. Attach a notice to the switch stating clearly that work is being
performed on the oil supply system.
Environmental protection
Observe the following environmental protection measures for disposal:
● Dispose of or recycle packaging material according to applicable national regulations.
● When changing the oil, collect the used oil in suitable containers. Use oil-binding agents to
clean up any oil spillages immediately.
● Store preservative agents separately from used oil.
● Dispose of used oil, preservative agents, oil binding agents and oil-soaked cloths according
to the applicable environmental protection regulations.
Note
Damage to the oil supply system by use of incorrect spare parts
Only use original spare parts from Siemens. Siemens shall not accept any warranty claims for
spare parts that are not supplied by Siemens.
Other spare parts are not tested and approved by Siemens. Non-approved spare parts may
possibly change the design characteristics of the oil supply system and thus impair its active
or passive safety.
Siemens will accept no liability or warranty whatsoever for damage occurring as a result of the
use of non-approved spare parts. The same applies to any accessories which were not
supplied by Siemens.
