NOTICE
Damage due to mixing grease types
The lubrication properties will be impaired if you mix different greases. This can result in
material damage.
Avoid mixing greases. Only the manufacturer can provide a guarantee for the miscibility of
particular greases.
Regreasing
Regreasing data are stated on the lubricant plate of the machine:
● Regreasing intervals in operating hours
● Regreasing amount in grams
● Grease type
Independent of the actual number of operating hours, the roller bearings must be regreased
every 12 months at the latest.
NOTICE
Damage to roller bearings
The regreasing intervals for roller bearings are different from the servicing intervals for the
machine. The roller bearings may be damaged if the relubrication intervals are not adhered
to.
Pay attention to the instructions on the lubricant plate.
Grease replacement intervals
The grease replacement intervals in these operating instructions or the regreasing intervals
indicated on the plate apply to the following conditions:
● Normal load
● Operation at speeds in accordance with rating plate
