7.2.3.7
Mixing
Mixtures with other biodegradable oils are not allowed.
The remaining amount of mineral oil must not exceed 5% of total filling quantity if the mineral oil is suitable for the same
use.
7.2.3.8 Micro-filtration
When making the conversion on second-hand machines, always consider the high dirt dissolution power of
biodegradable oil.
After conversion from one oil to another, a certain amount of deposits may be dissolved in the hydraulic system. In
extreme cases, washing the seal housings can cause greater leaks.
To prevent faults as well as avoid any negative effect on the oil quality, clean the hydraulic system using a micro-filtration
system after each system conversion to a new oil type.
7.2.3.9 Disposal
The biodegradable oil, inasmuch as saturated ester, is suitable for both thermal and material re-use.
It therefore provides the same disposal / re-use options as mineral based old oil.
Such oil can be incinerated whenever local laws allow.
Recycling the oil is preferable to disposal on dumps or incineration.
7.2.3.10 Topping up
The oil must ONLY EVER be topped up with the same product.
Note: Max water contamination is 0.1%.
During oil change or topping up, do not discard the hydraulic oil in the environment.
