13. HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION
Prior to shipping, the equipment is carefully packed in cardboard package. During transportation and storage, always
maintain the pump the right way up as indicated on the box. On receipt check that package has not been damaged. Then,
storage the machine in a dry location.
14. OPERATING HAZARDS
Power supply
Any type of intervention must not be carried out before unplugging the machine from power supply. Make sure that no
one can start it up again during the intervention.
All the installed electric and electronic equipment, reservoirs and basic components must be grounded.
Flammability
The lubricant generally used in lubrication systems is not flammable. However, it is advised to avoid contact with
extremely hot substances or naked flames.
Pressure
Prior to any intervention, check the absence of residual pressure in any branch of the lubricant circuit as it may cause oil
sprays when disassembling components or fittings.
Noise
Pump produces noise, not more than 70 dB(A).
14.1 Lubricants
The following table shows the comparison between NLGI (National Lubricating Grease Institute) classification and ASTM
(American Society for Testing and Materials) for greases and cSt (Centi stokes) e SUS (Saybolt Universale) for Oil
For further technical information and on safety
information consult the lubricant MSDS Safety data sheet
or equivalent document supplied by the lubricant
manufactuer.
WARNING: It is necessary to carefully read about the instructions and the risks involved in the use of
lubrication machines. The operator must know the machine functioning through the User and
Maintenance Manual.
NOTE:
The pump has been designed to operate with grease max NLGI 2 or Oil min 46cst (oil version).
Always use lubricants compatible with NBR (Buna) Rubber seals.
Any residual lubricant found on new units is residual NLGI 2 test grease used during the assembly of
the pump.
