Always consult the manual before taking any steps to maintain and repair your Elmo Rietschle equipment. You must ensure the machine is safe before starting.
Risk of injury due to slipping and falling!
The floor can be slippery due to leaked oil and cause slipping, tripping or falling:
- For oil change wear non-slip shoes
- Remove leaked oil immediately.
Always change the oil when the machine is at operating temperature and in a ventilated area. If it is not completely emptied, the refilling quantity is reduced.
If you change the type of oil, empty the oil tank completely.
A minimum oil quantity may escape from the vent screw due to pressure compensation.
If larger quantities of oil escape, wash the internal filter of the vent screw.
The waste oil must be disposed of in compliance with the local environmental protection regulations.
Check the oil level:
a) Check the oil level in the sight glass (Fig. 7/I) at least once daily.
b) To refill the oil, consult the maintenance manual for the machine or contact your local Elmo Rietschle Service Team.
