Lubricants
Generally grease up to NLGI grade 2 is recommended for
progressive systems. (Considering working conditions, the
following lubricants can be used. NLGI Grade 1 to 2 greases
with EP additives, compatible with plastics, NBR elastomers,
copper and copper alloys, and NLGI Grade 000 to 0 fluid
greases.)
Approved Lubricants
The product described here can be operated using lubricants
that meet the specifications in the technical data.
Note that in rare cases, there may be lubricants whose
properties are within permissible limit values but whose other
characteristics render them unsuitable for use in centralized
lubrication systems. For example, synthetic lubricants may be
incompatible with elastomers.
NOTICE
When filling up grease, keep the area clean.
Contaminants remain in suspension in lubricating grease.
They can damage bearings and system components.
Also make sure that systems are only filled with grease that
uses the same types of thickener.
Sodium soap greases must not be used in the automotive
sector (water-soluble).
Please, see also the important product usage information
on the back cover.
NOTICE
AVOID INJURY
Only lubricants approved for the product may be used.
Unsuitable lubricants can lead to failure of the product and
to property damage.
NOTICE
AVOID INJURY
Different lubricants cannot be mixed, as mixing can result
in damage and necessitate costly and complicated cleaning
of the product/lubrication system.
It is recommended that an indication of the lubricant in use
be attached to the lubricant reservoir to prevent accidental
mixing of lubricants.
