General information

Danger!
Centralized lubrication systems are
pressurized during operation. Centrali-
zed lubrication systems must therefore
be depressurized before starting as-
sembly, maintenance, or repair work, or
any machine modifications or machine
repairs.
SKF Lubrication Systems Germany GmbH
products are low-maintenance. However, all
connections and fittings must be regularly in-
spected for proper seating to ensure proper
function and to prevent hazards from arising.
If necessary, the product can be cleaned only
on the exterior using mild cleaning agents
that are compatible with the product's materi-
als (non-alkaline, non-soap). For safety rea-
sons, the product should be disconnected from
the power supply and the hydraulic and/or
compressed air supply.
Do not allow any cleaning agent to enter the
interior of the product during cleaning.
It is not necessary to clean the interior of the
product if it is operated normally and inter-
compatible lubricants are used.
The interior of the product must be cleaned if
incorrect or contaminated lubricant is acciden-
tally filled into the product. If this occurs,
please contact the Service department of SKF
Lubrication Systems Germany GmbH for
assistance.
Dismantling of individual parts of the
product within the statutory warran-
ty period is prohibited and voids any
claims.
8. Maintenance and service
Only original spare parts from SKF
Lubrication Systems Germany GmbH
may be used. Unauthorized alterations
to products and the use of non-original
spare parts and accessories are prohibi-
ted and nullify the statutory warranty.
The maintenance intervals are determined de-
pending on the specific conditions of the ap-
plication. The criteria are machine-specific
settings, ambient and operating conditions,
and the purity of the lubricant used and the
compressed air. Due to the application-specific
conditions, the customer defines and main-
tains the maintenance intervals.
A visual fill level control of the lubricant reser-
voir must be performed at regular intervals.
The control intervals are determined according
to the quantity of lubricant required by the
bearings. Due to the application-specific con-
ditions, the customer defines and maintains
the control intervals.
