BIODEGRADABLE HYDRAULIC FLUID
The hydraulic system may be filled with synthetic oil
under the following conditions :
PANOLIN-HLP Synth 15/22/32/68 is a fully synthetic,
high performance oil classified according to VDMA direc-
tive 24/568. It complies with articles 2 and 3 of DIN
51524. In case of leakage oil is completely degradable
by microorganisms present in water and in the soil.
During operation of the machine all contamination in all
forms must be avoided (wear, dust, etc.).
The fluid used must be checked regularly by taking sam-
ples (see table below) and having them tested. When
taking the samples it is necessary to follow the procedure
laid down by PANOLIN Company laboratories. The best
solution is to have PANOLIN Company take the samples
directly.
NOTE : When filling up with biodegradable oil, mixing of
up to 2% with other types of oil is authorized.
Organic oil may be replaced by synthetic oil in compli-
ance with VDMA directive 24/569.
IMPORTANT : Water content in the oil may not exceed
0.1%.
IMPORTANT : Mixing PANOLIN-HLP Synth oil with
other biodegradable oils is strictly forbidden.
NOTE : Always contact the manufacturer or PANOLIN
Company prior to deciding to mix or change oils.
