6.1- Lubrication
Proper and regular lubrication is indispensable to guarantee a good performance and
durability to the machine.
The indicated intervals take into account their use under normal working conditions.
In severe conditions, the intervals should be reduced.
Periodic inspections and the use of clean and quality lubricants are recommended.
Oils and lubricating greases contain additives which, in some situations, can be harmful
to health. When using lubricants, it is important to:
Avoid direct contact with such products. Oil can
cause skin damage.
Protect the skin with suitable gloves.
Never use oil or grease to clean your hands.
Give the discarded oil the destination provided
by law. Never spill it into the environment!
Get medical attention if skin irritation develops
after use of lubricating oils or greases.
The use of PPE (safety gloves, goggles) when
lubricating the machine is mandatory.
6.1.1- Grease lubrication
Before lubricating, thoroughly clean
the grease fittings to avoid grease
contamination.
Replace damaged grease fittings.
Lubrication is most efficient when
done at the end of the working period
because the grease flows better while
the machine is still hot.
Store lubricants always protected
against dust, moisture and other
contaminants.
Lubricate the gears indicated on the side with
special bearings grease, based on lithium soap,
NLGI classification 2 (Example: LUBRAX LITH-2).
Lubricate every 50 hours of work or weekly.
