A control unit has as agitation mode in which a command is executed for a first switching valve so that the oil supply/discharge direction is switched so as to supply oil to a first oil supply/discharge port located at a low position and discharge oil from a second oil supply/discharge port located at a high position, whereby oil in an oil bath is agitated via a circulation pump from a low position to a high position is the oil bath; and a filter mode in which, after the agitation mode is executed, a command is executed for the first switching valve so that the oil supply/discharge direction is switched so as to discharge oil from the first oil supply/discharge port located at a low position and supply oil to the second oil supply/discharge port located in a high position, whereby impurities in the oil sent to a filter mechanism are filtered.

A teach pendant for teaching a robot includes an operation unit disposed on a first surface of the teach pendant, to perform an input operation; a display unit disposed on the first surface; and a camera disposed on a second surface opposite the first surface of the teach pendant. An image captured by the camera is displayed on the display unit.
