5.6.1 Requirements for lubricants
General
To ensure safe operation and a long service life, it is necessary to lubricate the machine carefully. The specified oil
and grease must be applied to all lubrication points.

lubrication, any excess lubricant must be removed and properly disposed of.
Lubricating oil

deposits, decomposes the grease and destroys its lubricating properties.
