13. HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
Prior to shipping, the equipment is carefully packed in cardboard package. During transportation and storage, always maintain
the pump the right way up as indicated on the box. On receipt check that package has not been damaged. Then, storage the
machine in a dry location.
14. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
14.1 HYDRAULIC SUPPLY
Any type of intervention must not be carried out before the unplugging of the machine from hydraulic supply.
14.2 FLAMMABILITY
The lubricant generally used in lubrication systems is not normally flammable.
However, it is advised to avoid contact with extremely hot substances or naked flames.
14.3 PRESSURE
Prior to any intervention, check the absence of residual pressure in any branch of the lubricant circuit as it may cause oil sprays
when disassembling components or fittings.
14.4 Noise
The pump does not produce excessive noise (less than 70 dB(A) ) at the distance of 1 m (39.3 inches) from the pump.

For more information on technical and security measures, see the Security tab of the Product (Directive 93/112/EEC) relating to
the type of lubricant chosen and supplied by the manufacturer.
Lift the packaging taking note of the orientation of the pump.
The product can withstand a storage temperature between -20 to + 50 °C; however it is necessary to ensure that the
product has stabilized at a minimum temperature of +5 °C before putting it into operation
NOTE:
The pump has been designed to work with greases with a maximum viscosity of NLGI 2
Always use lubricants that are compatible with NBR Rubber.
The lubricant used during final testing of the unit is a NLGI 2 grease
.
WARNING:
It’s necessary read carefully the warnings about the risks involving the use of a pump for lubricants.
The user must know the operation through the User Manual and Maintenance.
