•
For permissible operation temperatures, viscosity etc.
have a look to chap. Technical Data and Hydraulic Fluids.
•

dangers stipulated in the instruction manual of the
complete machine.
•
Any modification of the partly completed machinery can
present important changes in the sense of machinery
directive 2006/42/EC. Supplementary safety require-
ments must be considered. For this reason, modifica-
tions should always be approved by the manufacturer.
