and the anticipated ambient conditions must
be taken into account. All economic and envi-
ronmental aspects must also be considered.
If required, SKF Lubrication Systems
Germany GmbH can help customers
to select suitable components for the
conveyance of the selected lubricant
and to plan and design their centralized
lubrication system.
Please contact SKF Lubrication Systems
Germany GmbH if you have further questions
regarding lubricants. It is possible for lubri-
cants to be tested in the company's laboratory
for their suitability for pumping in centralized
lubrication systems (e.g., "bleeding").
You can request an overview of the lubricant
tests offered by SKF from the company's Sales
department.

Approved lubricants

Note!
Only lubricants approved for the pro-
duct may be used. Unsuitable lubricants
can lead to failure of the product and to
property damage.
Note!
Different lubricants must not be mixed
together. Doing so can cause damage
and require extensive cleaning of the
product/centralized lubrication system.
It is recommended that an indication of
the lubricant in use be attached to the
lubricant reservoir in order to prevent
accidental mixing of lubricants.
The product described here can be operated
using lubricants that meet the specifications in
the technical data.
Note that in rare cases, there may be lubri-
cants whose properties are within the permis-
sible limits values but whose other character-
istics render them unsuitable for use in
Assembly instructions
centralized lubrication systems. For example,
synthetic lubricants may be incompatible with
elastomers.
Oils with a viscosity different than those in
Table 1 should be avoided because the meter-
ing system cannot be ensured to function
properly with them.
Oils with solid additives must not be used,
since with these oils there is a risk that the
solid particles will deposit within the metering
unit and could cause clogging of the metering
unit.
