FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

Hydraulic Oil:

Use an ISO grade SAE food grade gear oil (FMO-90-AW) for
all operating conditions.

Storing Lubricants:

Your machine can operate at top efficiency only if clean lu-
bricants are used.
Use clean containers to handle all lubricants. Store them in an
area protected from dust, moisture and other contaminants.
Make certain that all containers are properly marked to Identify
their contents.

Grease:

Use an SAE multipurpose high temperature grease with ex-
treme pressure (EP) performance. Also acceptable, SAE
multipurpose lithium based grease.
Other greases may be used if they meet the following:
• NLGI Performance Classification GC-LB
• ISO-L-X-BDHB 2 or DIN KP 2 N-10 Lithium Complex-
Non-Synthetic Base Oil (100 to 220 mm2/s @ 40°C)

Greasing

scheduled maintenance.
1. Use only a hand-held grease gun for all greasing. An
air-powered greasing system can damage the seals on
bearings and lead to early failures.
2. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing to
avoid injecting dirt and grit.
3. All universal joints on the machine are greaseable. They
require minimal lubricant. Recommended greasing is 1
small stroke every 2 weeks. Be careful not to over-grease,
as this may push the seal out.
4. Replace and repair broken fittings immediately.
5. If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean thorough-
ly. Also clean lubricant passageway. Replace fitting if
necessary.
