For this reason only lubricants provided by SKF
may be used (see table A - 1).
The said lubricants are compatible with each
another so that the laborious task of cleaning of
the container is not necessary if the lubricant is
changed.
We would be glad to answer any further ques-
tions you might have about the lubricants.
Do not mix different lubricants
together unless you have the ex-
press consent of SKF to do so.
Otherwise damages could arise,
and a laborious cleaning of the
system interior might become
unavoidable.
We assume no liability for damages which arise
because of the improper use of lubricants or the
use of lubricants other than those of which we
have approved of in writing.
Installation
Setup
The minimum-quantity lubrication system
should be set up in the immediate vicinity of the
machine. We recommend installation of the sys-
tem directly on the machine housing. A drawing
with the installation dimensions can be found in
the chapter on the respective minimum-quantity
lubrication system.
Do not fasten the system in a location subject to
strong oscillations or vibrations.
The system must not be installed near a source
of heat. Locations subject to rapidly and
strongly changing temperatures are also unsuit-
able.
The system must be installed
vertically for faultless operation.
It must never be installed upside-
down.
Also ensure good accessibility for purposes of
maintenance or refilling with lubricant.
First filling
The lubricant reserve container
must be depressurised before
filling it with lubricant.
It is recommended to fill the container before
connecting the compressed air supply when the
system is put to use for the first time.
If the system is already connected to the com-
pressed air supply, ensure that the container is
depressurised before filling it.
To depressurise the container, first disconnect
the system from the compressed air supply by
either disconnecting the system from the com-
pressed air line or closing the main valve.
Wait until the pressure has dissipated via the lu-
bricant lines and spray nozzles.
The control valves for lubricant amount and at-
omizer must be open, i.e. clear passage for dis-
sipating the pressure in the container must be
ensured.
Check whether the pressure has completely
dissipated. The pressure gauge must show the
value 'zero'.
