Scalding from hot lubricant
Danger of scalding when draining lubricant if it comes into contact with the skin.
► Wear protective equipment.
► Use a suitable collection receptacle.
NOTICE
Property damage from using non-approved lubricant
Attainment of product-specific performance data is not ensured. If non-approved lubricants are used,
all liability and warranty claims against Pfeiffer Vacuum are excluded.
► Use approved lubricant only.
► Use alternative, application-specific lubricants only following consultation with Pfeiffer Vacuum.
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends determining the precise service life of the lubricant in
the first operating year.
The usable life may deviate from the reference value specified depending on thermic and
chemical loads, or due to penetrating process media in gear and bearing chambers.
Checking the fill level
The correct fill level is between the MIN/MAX markings or within the ring mark on the sight
glass.
