2. Lubricants
w
Only lubricants specified for the
product (see chapter Technical
data) may be used. Unsuitable
lubricants may lead to a failure of
the product.
Do not mix lubricants. This may
have unforeseeable effects on
the usability and therefore on the
function of the centralized lubri-
cation system.
When handling lubricants the rel-
evant safety data sheets and haz-
ard designations, if any, on the
packaging have to be observed.
2.5 Ageing of lubricants
After a prolonged downtime of the machine,
the lubricant must be inspected prior to
re-commissioning as to whether it is still
suitable for use due to chemical or physical
ageing. We recommend that you undertake
this inspection already after a machine
downtime of 1 week.
If doubts arise as to a further suitability of
the lubricant, please replace it prior to re-
commissioning and, if necessary, undertake
initial lubrication by hand.
It is possible for lubricants to be tested in the
company's laboratory for their suitability for
being pumped in centralized lubrication sys-
tems (e.g. "bleeding").
Please contact SKF. if you have further ques-
tions regarding lubricants.
You may request an overview of the lubri-
cants tested by SKF.
Due to the multitude of possible
additives, individual lubricants,
which according to the manu-
facturer's data sheets fulfil the
necessary specification, may not,
in fact, be suitable for use in cen-
tralized lubrication systems (e. g.
incompatibility between synthetic
lubricants and materials). In
order to avoid this, always use
lubricants tested by SKF.
