Protective measures
for handling oils or
lubricants
Additives in oils and lubricants may have adverse health effects. Since
the hazardous material code does not require any special identificati-
on, please always observe the following:
Avoid skin contact
Avoid skin contact with these materials. Contact can result in skin da-
mage.
Protect your skin
When handling oils and lubricants, protect your skin with lotion or wear
oil-resistant gloves. Oils can cause damage to the health.
Never use oils for cleaning
Never use oils or lubricants to clean your hands! Burrs and grit in the-
se materials can result in injuries.
Change dirty clothing
Change clothing heavily contaminated with oil as soon as possible.
Oils can cause damage to the health.
•
Collect old oil and dispose of it in accordance with statutory regu-
lations
•
If your skin becomes irritated by oil or lubricants, contact a doctor
immediately
General informa-
tion
This information relates to general maintenance operations. For all
maintenance work, the machine must be extended and secured in its
working position. An appropriate reference will appear in the mainte-
nance instructions if it is necessary to put the machinery in its trans-
port position to conduct maintenance work.
> Secure the machine with wheel chocks
Working with the grease gun:
One to two strokes with the grease gun are sufficient for lubrication. If
you feel resistance during the second stroke, do not complete it.
Too much grease will force the bearings apart. This could allow dust
and dirt to enter the bearing, resulting in premature wear.
