5.17 Lubricating the
Machine
Please read the section entitled "Using
Lubricants" carefully before lubricating the
machine.
The machine must be lubricated regularly
in order for it to remain serviceable.
Regular lubrication also contributes
towards extending the service life of your
machine.
The recommended lubricating intervals
are specified in "Inspection" and
"Maintenance Intervals".
After it has been washed using a high-
pressure hose or steam cleaned, the
machine should always be lubricated
using a grease gun. Ensure that the
universal joints and splined shafts are
lubricated regularly.
5.18 Handling of
Lubricants
Please ensure that you read the following
instructions as well as the relevant
information. This also applies to any of
your employees who handle lubricants.
Hygiene
Lubricants do not present a health hazard
provided they are used for their specified
purpose.
In the case of prolonged skin contact,
lubricants - especially low-viscosity oils –
may remove the natural layer of fat
contained in the skin, resulting in dryness
and possible irritation.
It is important to take extreme care when
handling waste oil as it may contain other
irritants.
Vapours given off by cleaning agents and
oils are also a potential health hazard.
You should therefore not carry any oily
cloths around. Change soiled work
clothing as soon as possible.
