7.3 Changing the lubricant
WARNING
Health hazard and environmental damage from toxic contaminated lubricant
Toxic process media can cause lubricant contamination. When changing the lubricant, there is a
health hazard due to contact with poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic substances causes
environmental damage.
► Wear suitable personal protective equipment when handling these media.
► Dispose of the lubricant according to locally applicable regulations.
CAUTION
Scalding from hot lubricant
Danger of scalding when draining lubricant if it comes into contact with the skin.
► Wear personal protective equipment.
► Use a suitable collection receptacle.
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends determining the precise service life of the lubri-
cant in the first operating year.
The usable life may deviate from the reference value specified depending on ther-
mic and chemical loads, or due to penetrating process media in gear and bearing
chambers.
