If the basic safety instructions are not followed, people may be seriously injured or
killed.
• To avoid accidents, the basic safety instructions in the chapter Safety must have been read
and followed, see chapter Safety "Basic safety instructions".
Environmental damage caused by lubricants!
If lubricants are not stored and disposed of properly, they may escape into the environment. As
a result, the environment will be damaged, even by small quantities.
• Store the lubricants in suitable containers according to the statutory regulations.
• Dispose of used lubricants according to the statutory regulations.
Soft, supple NLGI Class 2 lithium soap greases with EP additives should be used as lubricants
in accordance with DIN 51825. We advise against using lubricants with any other base material.
NOTE
Do not use greases containing graphite!
Problems may occur if different greases are mixed together.
The lubrication points on the machine that are not supplied by central lubrication must be
lubricated regularly. The position of the lubrication points and the lubrication intervals can be
seen in the lubrication charts in the operating instructions. Remove the grease that comes out of
the bearing points after lubrication.
