12.3 Disassembling the planetary gearbox from the machine or
chassis frame
Danger of burns!
The planetary gearbox heats up to max. 90 °C in the oil sump during operation so
that it may cause burns!
Let the planetary gearbox cool down to approx. 50°C before touching it.
To protect yourself from burns, wear appropriate protective clothing such as
heat-resistant safety gloves.
Always wear protective goggles.
Risk of injury!
Solid particles, such as metal particles or metal abrasion, which are in the
lubricating oil or on the screw plug can cause injury!
Wear appropriate protective clothing.
Risk of damaging the planetary gearbox!
Improper procedure when removing the planetary gearbox may damage the
planetary gearbox!
Avoid strong impacts on the planetary gearbox during disassembly.
Avoid exerting axial forces and high compression forces on the gearbox housing.
Make sure that the planetary gearbox is not tilted during disassembly.
This chapter describes how to disassemble the planetary gearbox from the machine
or chassis frame. It is assumed that the machine or vehicle part has been prepared
for disassembly as described in chapter 12.2 "Preparing the disassembly".
Procedure
For disassembling the planetary gearbox from the machine/chassis frame:
1
Power down the machine or vehicle in question.
Check whether the oil cooling circuit is pressure relieved.
2
3
Secure the deactivated machine or deactivated vehicle part against inadvertent
activation.
4
Let the planetary gearbox cool down until it can be disassembled without any
risk.
5
Place a catch basin under the planetary gearbox in order to collect any leaking
lubricating oil.
