FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Fluids and lubricants must have the correct properties for each application.
Hydraulic fluid
Hydraulic fluid is specially designed for the high pres-
sure and the hydraulic system used on machines. The
type of fluid to be used depends on the ambient tem-
perature.
Temperate climates
Below + 30
°
C
Fluid type : ISO VG 46
Hot climates
30
°
C and over
Fluid type : ISO VG 68
Transmission component oil
Extreme pressure oil is used for all cased transmis-
sion components.
Extreme pressure oil type API CD/SE.
Grade 10W30
Grease
The type of grease to be used depends on the ambi-
ent temperature.
Temperate and hot climates
-5
°
C to + 55
°
C
Extreme pressure grease EP NLGI.
Grade 2 with molybdenum disulphide.
Cold climates
-20
°
C to + 30
°
C
Extreme pressure grease EP NLGI
Grade 0
Anti-freeze/anti-corrosion
Use anti-freeze in all seasons to protect the cooling
system from corrosion and all risk of freezing.
For environments with a temperature higher than -36
°
C,
use a mixture of 50% ethylene-glycol based anti-
freeze.
For environments with a temperature lower than -36
°
C,
a mixture of 40% water with 60% anti-freeze is rec-
ommended.
Fuel
The fuel to be used must be in conformity with the
D975 standard of the American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM).
Use No. 2 type fuel. The use of other fuels may cause
a loss of engine power and excessive fuel consump-
tion.
In cold weather, a mixture of No. 1 fuel and No. 2 fuel
is temporarily permitted. Consult your fuel supplier.
If the temperature falls below the fuel cloud point
(point at which wax appears), wax crystals in the fuel
will cause a loss of engine power or make it impossi-
ble to start the engine.
IMPORTANT :
In cold weather, fill the fuel tank after
each day’s work, to prevent the formation of conden-
sation.
Fuel storage
Prolonged fuel storage causes foreign bodies or con-
densation water to accumulate in the storage tank.
Many engine failures are caused by the presence of
water in fuel.
The storage tank should be placed outdoors and the
fuel should be kept at as low a temperature as possi-
ble. Condensation water should be drained off at reg-
ular intervals.
WARNING :
The condition of use for individual fluids and lubricants must be respected.
