C AUTION!
Different lubricants must not be mixed together. Doing so can
cause damage and require extensive cleaning of the products/
centralized lubrication system. To prevent confusion, we recom-
mend that you attach information indicating the lubricant to be
used on the lubricant reservoir.
The described product can be operated with lubricants that comply
with the speciications in the technical data.
Note that some lubricants may have properties that lie within the
permitted limit values and yet not be suitable for use in centralized
lubrication systems for other reasons. For example, some synthetic
lubricants are not compatible with elastomers.
2.4 Lubricants and the
environment
WARNING!
Lubricants can pollute the soil and water. Lubricants must be
used and disposed of in compliance with the rules. Instructions
and local regulations must be observed when handling
lubricants.
Note that lubricants are harmful to the environment and lammable;
their transportation, storage, and processing are subject to special
precautionary measures. For speciications on transportation, sto-
rage, processing, and dangers to the use and the environment for
the lubricant, refer to the material safety data sheet provided by or
available from the lubricant manufacturer. You can ask the manufac-
turer of the lubricant for the material safety data sheet.
2.5 Danger relating to lubricants
C AUTION!
Centralized lubrication systems must be absolutely leak-free.
Leaking centralized lubrication systems can cause a slip hazard.
When performing installation, maintenance, and repairs test the
centralized lubrication system for leaks. Leaky parts of the cen-
tralized lubrication system or components of the lubrication
equipment have to be sealed immediately.
Leaking centralized lubrication systems or components of the lubri-
cation equipment are a source of danger in relation to slip hazard
and the risk of injury. These dangers can cause physical injury to per-
sons or damage to other material assets.
Refer to safety precautions in the lubricant manufacturer's mate-
rial safety data sheet.
Lubricants are hazardous substance. It is essential to respect any
safety instructions given in the lubricant safety data sheet. You can
ask the manufacturer of the lubricant for the material safety data
sheet.
