Close the drain port and clean it: after confirming that the gear oil level is correct, close the gear oil drain port and thoroughly clean any spilled oil.

Startup and inspection: after the replacement of gear oil, restart Roots blower and check whether the gear system operates normally without abnormal noise and vibration.
