Requirements for lubricants
General
To ensure safe operation and a long service life, it is necessary to lubricate the machine carefully. The specified oil
and grease must be applied to all lubrication points.
Carefully clean dirty lubrication points using a suitable agent and then lubricate them with new lubricant. After
lubrication, any excess lubricant must be removed and properly disposed of.

deposits, decomposes the grease and destroys its lubricating properties.
