Checking the Oil Level in Gear Units (ATEX)
Normally, the gear units are supplied with buffer to check the oil level.
To control the proper level of lubricant, first identify the display dimmer level.
- Horizontal Position:
Remove the plug and insert a rod through it compatible with the hole size and shape
indicated on the diagram below.
- Vertical Position:
Check with the rod if the oil level is between MIN and MAX marks and replace the cap.
If the level is far more than 3 mm from the level recorded in the stem, to restore the correct
amount and investigate the cause of the decreased level.

The gear set according to the directive 94/9/CE, specifically those in a vertical installation, are usually
equipped with an oil expansion vessel in which the caps are present with the service charging
functions, level control and breathe internal overpressure.
