4.4.2 APPROVED SYNTHETIC BIODEGRADABLE LUBRICANTS TYPE
HEES
Our machines can be filled with synthetic biodegradable hydraulic oil type HEES not of plant origin and therefore
the use of the oils indicated in the following table is authorized and recommended:
CAUTION
q
It is not possible to mix synthetic biodegradable oil type HEES with ordinary hydraulic oils, since when
the temperature increases insoluble compounds are generated, which are deposited on the filters and
clog them (the maximum concentration of ordinary oil cannot exceed 1% of the total quantity of oil).
q
Biodegradable oil can be used only in the hydraulic system; it cannot be used in the engine, the trans-
missions, the braking system, etc.
q
Before introducing the biodegradable oil in the hydraulic system, empty the system completely, discon-
necting the cylinders and all the parts that may contain ordinary oil, and replace the drain filter with a
new one.
Start the engine and let it idle without using the work equipment, wait until the oil reaches a temperature
of at least 40°C, then start moving the equipment, so that all the parts of the system are filled with oil.
Stop the engine and check the oil level (see "3.3.1.2 CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINE" - " CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL IN THE HYDRAULIC TANK AND TOPPING UP").
