● The lubrication properties will be impaired if you mix different lubricating greases. This can
result in material damage. Only the manufacturer can provide a guarantee for the miscibility
of particular lubricating greases.
● The lubricating grease must satisfy the criteria listed in the table below and must match the
operating conditions. If different special lubricating greases are stated on the lubricant plate,
then different criteria apply.
