CAUTION
Unsuitable grease!

Do not use multi-purpose grease.

If necessary use special grease.
Use only greases that are approved by ZIMM Maschinenelemente
GmbH + Co KG.
ZIMM will be pleased to give advice.
1. Remove the protective cap from the grease nipple.
2. Press the nozzle of the grease gun against the grease nipple:
– S version: Grease nipple on the gearbox cover.
– R version: Grease nipple on the travelling nut.
3. Filling with grease:
– Providing personal safety is assured: Perform greasing when
extending, in order to ensure the best distribution of the grease.
– To do this, slowly extend the screw jack and apply strokes of the
grease gun. When doing so, make sure the correct quantity of
grease is applied.
– It is best to apply grease in several jack positions, to ensure
good distribution of grease.
– S version: Apply only small quantities of grease at each jack
position, so that the grease is not forced through the seals into
the gearbox.
