Safety Warnings
In addition to observing warnings on the product and in the operating instructions, be sure to observe the
following precautions for the use, handling and storage of this device.
Warning: Proper maintenance and
handling practices are critical. Failure to follow installation instructions and to maintain proper lubrication
can result in equipment failure, creating a risk of serious bodily harm.
• Retain the product’s safety and operating instructions for future reference. Follow all operating and usage
instructions. Consult the latest material safety data sheet (MSDS) for any lubricant before using, handling or
storing this device.
• Do not remove or open the M-Power device when in operation. All M-Power devices utilize pressure to deliver lubricant to
the application. Removing the device while the contents are under pressure can cause damage to the unit and may result in
severe bodily injury.
• Ensure that the unit has a free path to discharge its lubricant and is not subject to excessive heat.
• Do not use this product near heaters, radiators, furnaces or other pieces of equipment that may produce sparks, flames, or
high heat.
• Electromechanical units contain a manufacturer supplied battery pack. Do not attempt to recharge the battery pack, disas-
semble it, immerse it in water or dispose of it in fire. Do not attempt to replace the batteries with any other than replacement
battery packs available from Timken.
• Do not take apart any gas-pressurized unit. Do not take apart any electromechanical device except for replacement of the
battery pack or lubricant refill pack. Do not crush, puncture or incinerate the battery pack or short the metal contacts.
In addition, do not attempt to open or service the battery pack or lubricant refill packs as doing so may release harmful
chemicals.
• Only use Timken-certified attachments and accessories to connect the M-Power device to the equipment application.
Failure to do so may damage the device and the equipment and may result in bodily injury or damage to the equipment.
• Always check the suitability of any lubricant with the manufacturer of the equipment to be lubricated prior to use. A wide
variety of lubricant oils and greases are available for this secure-lube device depending on the equipment to be lubricated.
• Avoid direct contact of lubricant with skin. Do not swallow or ingest the lubricant. If ingested or swallowed, call a physician
or Poison Control center for most current instructions. If professional advice is not available, do not induce vomiting.
• “Empty” devices retain some lubricant in liquid and/or vapor form. Do not pressurize, mechanically modify or expose used
devices to heat, flame or static electricity. They may cause injury or death. Do not attempt to clean or refill the devices
because the lubricant is difficult to remove. “Empty” devices should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner, in
accordance with governmental regulations.
