Lubricant fill quantities 

The fill quantities are recommended values. The specific values vary depending on
number of stages and ratio. Pay close attention to the oil level plug to serve as indi-
cator for the correct amount of oil.
The following tables list the reocmmended values for the lubricant fill quantities in refe-
rence to mounting positions M1...M6.

Helical (R-)
gear units
