2.4 Lubricants and the environment
Warning!
Lubricants can contaminate soil and
bodies of water. Lubricants must be
properly used and disposed of. Observe
the local regulations and laws regarding
the disposal of lubricants.
It is important to note that lubricants are envi-
ronmentally hazardous, flammable substances
which require special precautionary measures
during transport, storage, and processing.
Consult the safety data sheet from the lubri-
cant manufacturer
SKF Lubrication Systems Germany
GmbH supports customers in the selec-
tion of suitable components for feeding
the selected lubricant and in the plan-
ning and design of a centralized lubri-
cation system.
Please contact SKF Lubrication Systems
Germany GmbH if you have further questions
regarding lubricants. Lubricants can be tested
in the company's laboratory for their suitability
for pumping in centralized lubrication systems
(e.g., "bleeding").
You can request an overview of the lubricant
tests offered by SKF Lubrication Systems
Germany GmbH from the company's Service
department.
2.3 Approved lubricants
Warning!
Only lubricants approved for the prod-
uct may be used. Unsuitable lubricants
can lead to failure of the product and to
property damage.
Warning!
Different lubricants cannot be mixed, as
mixing may result in damage and ne-
cessitate costly and complicated clean-
ing of the product/lubrication system.
It is recommended that an indication of
the lubricant in use be attached to the
lubricant reservoir in order to prevent
accidental mixing of lubricants.
The product described here can be operated
using lubricants that meet the specifications in
the technical data. Depending on the product
design, these lubricants may be oils, fluid
greases, or greases.
Oils and base oils may be mineral, synthetic,
and/or rapidly biodegradable. Consistency
agents and additives may be added depending
on the operating conditions.
Note that in rare cases, there may be lubri-
cants whose properties are within permissible
limit values but whose other characteristics
render them unsuitable for use in centralized
lubrication systems. For example, synthetic lu-
bricants may be incompatible with elastomers.
