Draining oil
The procedure below details how to drain the oil from the wrist unit (axis 5 and 6), robot
version IRB 4400/L10.
When changing gearbox oil, first run the robot for a time to heat up the oil. Warm oil drains
quicker than cold oil.
Changing and draining gearbox oil may require handling hot oil of up to 90 °C! Make sure
that protective gear like goggles and gloves are always worn during this activity.
Also, be aware of possible pressure build up in gearbox! When opening the oil plug, there
may be pressure present in the gearbox, causing oil to spray from the opening!
