Inspecting the seals
IMPORTANT
Damaged seals must be replaced immediately. If there is
corrosion damage or functional impairment as a
consequence of damaged seals not being replaced at the
proper time, any warranty shall be excluded. Penetrating
moisture may quickly cause corrosion in the bearing ring
and impairs safe operation. Note that the factory-installed
seal only offers protection against dust and splashing
water.
If damage is detected on a seal, contact the customer service
organization without delay (
page 2).
