For internal lubrication, only rotary
joints designed for dry running may be
used.
Only the minimal quantity lubricants offered by
us, which were specially designed for this type
of application, should be used.
Only the lubricants permitted for the
MQL system must be transported.
Unsuitable lubricants can result in a
failure of the lubrication system and
possibly to severe damage to property
and physical injury.
You can find additional indications pertaining to
lubricants in the “Lubricants” chapter, page 8.
SKF provides no guarantee for damages
resulting from use of lubricants that are not
explicitly permitted in writing by SKF with
respect to the device compatibility and
transportability.
5 Safety warnings
Please observe the following safety warnings in
order to guarantee the trouble-free operation of
the MQL system and prevent damages.
5.1 Using the MQL systems
The MQL system L
UBRI
L
EAN
®
Vario must only be
used in a technically faultless condition and in
accordance with rules and regulations, with
cognisance of safety matters and hazards, and
in observance of the operating instructions and
the local safety regulations.
All types of fire in the form of open
flames, sparks, cigarette embers, etc.
must not be anywhere near the
directed spray or in rooms where the
aerosol concentration exceeds the
explosion limit. The aerosol must not
be sprayed on hot surfaces.
Depending on the type of lubricant used, the
work rooms to which the aerosol is fed must
have an exhaust system with the appropriate
filter system.
In the event of error, the MQL system
L
UBRI
L
EAN
®
Vario must be separated as quickly
as possible from the compressed air supply.
This can be done, for example, by activating the
self-sealing coupling on the compressed air
connection if this does not pose an additional
hazard.
Malfunctions, especially ones that could
interfere with safety have to be eliminated
immediately. Contact a SKF service location for
this.
The safety devices and equipment (if provided)
must not be damaged, shut down, rendered
unusable or replaced by any parts other than
those explicitly approved in writing by SKF.
The unauthorised retrofitting of the MQL system
as well as use of non-approved replacement
parts and supplies are not permitted and render
the guarantee null and void.
Worn out MQL systems must be put out of
commission and then disposed of in
compliance with the rules and regulations.
