!
All SKF products must only be used for their intended
purpose and in accordance with the specifications of the
installation instructions for the product in question.
!
You must observe the machinery manufacturer's information on the lubricants to be used in the machinery.
DANGER!
The manufacturer of the bearing or machinery to be lubricated will specify the lubricant requirements for each point to
be lubricated. You must make sure that the required quantity of
lubricant is provided to the relevant lubricating point. If a lubricating point is insufficiently lubricated, the bearing may become
damaged or jammed.
2. Lubricants
2.1 General
The intended use of this product is for the centralized lubrication/lubrication of bearings and wear points with lubricants. All physical
limitations of use stipulated in the documentation of the product
such as the owner’s manual, technical drawings and catalogs must
be observed.
Hazardous materials of any kind, especially the materials classified as hazardous by European Community Directive EC 67/548/
EEC, Article 2, Par. 2, may only be used to fill SKF centralized lubrication systems and components and delivered and/or distributed
with the same after consulting with and receiving written approval
from SKF.
All products manufactured by SKF are not approved for use in
conjunction with gases, liquefied gases, pressurized gases in solution and fluids with a vapor pressure exceeding normal atmospheric
pressure (1013 mbar) by more than 0,5 bar at their maximum permissible temperature.
Should there be a need to use the product to convey media other
than lubricants or hazardous substances, this must be discussed
with SKF first and the company must give express written
permission.
In the opinion of SKF, lubricants constitute a design element that
must be considered when selecting components and designing centralized lubrication systems. The lubrication properties of the lubricants in question must be considered.
2.2 Selection of lubricants
1.5 Warranty
The instructions do not contain any information on the warranty.
This can be found in the General Conditions of Sales, which are
available at: www.skf.com/lubrication.
5
DANGER!
Only lubricants that have been approved by SKF for use
with the product may be used. Unsuitable lubricants can cause
product malfunctions and damage to property.
DANGER!
Different lubricants must not be mixed together. Doing so
can cause damage and require extensive cleaning of the products/centralized lubrication system. To prevent confusion, we
recommend that you attach information indicating the lubricant
to be used on the lubricant reservoir.
The described product can be operated with lubricants that comply
with the specifications in the technical data.
Note that some lubricants may have properties that lie within the
permitted limit values and yet not be suitable for use in centralized
lubrication systems for other reasons. For example, some synthetic
lubricants are not compatible with elastomers.
DANGER!
Lubricants can contaminate the ground and watercourses. Lubricants must be used and disposed of in compliance with
the rules. Instructions and local regulations must be observed
when handling lubricants.
DANGER!
Centralized lubrication systems must be absolutely leakfree. Leaking centralized lubrication systems can cause a slip
hazard. When performing installation, maintenance, and repairs
test the centralized lubrication system for leaks. Leaky parts of
the centralized lubrication system or components of the lubrication equipment have to be sealed immediately.
Leaking centralized lubrication systems or components of the lubrication equipment are a source of danger in relation to slip hazard
and the risk of injury. These dangers can cause physical injury to
persons or damage to other material assets.
Refer to safety precautions in the lubricant manufacturer's mate-
rial safety data sheet.
Lubricants are hazardous substance. It is essential to respect any
safety instructions given in the lubricant safety data sheet. You can
ask the manufacturer of the lubricant for the material safety data
sheet.
2.4 Lubricants and the environment
Note that lubricants are harmful to the environment and flammable;
their transportation, storage, and processing are subject to special
precautionary measures. For specifications on transportation, storage, processing, and dangers to the use and the environment for the
lubricant, refer to the material safety data sheet provided by or available from the lubricant manufacturer. You can ask the manufacturer
of the lubricant for the material safety data sheet.
2.5 Danger relating to lubricants
2.3 Approved lubricants
!
If required, SKF can help customers to select suitable
components for the conveyance of the selected lubricant
and to plan and design their centralized lubrication system.
While the machinery/bearing manufacturer usually specifies lubricants, it is the owner/operator (or maintenance person) who must
finally select the appropriate lubricant, with the help of the lubricant
supplier. When selecting a lubricant, the type of bearing/wear point,
the stresses and strains to be expected during operation, and anticipated ambient conditions must be taken into account. All financial/
economic aspects must also be considered.
If you have further questions, you can contact SKF.
We can test lubricants in our own laboratory to establish their
suitability for conveyance (e.g. 'oil separation' behavior) in centralized
lubrication systems.
You can request an overview of lubricant tests offered by SKF
from our Service Center.
