2.3 Approved lubricants
Caution!
Only lubricants that have been approved
by SKF for use with the product may be
used. Unsuitable lubricants can cause
product malfunctions and damage to
property.
Caution!
Different lubricants must not be mixed
together. Doing so can cause damage
and require extensive cleaning of the
products/centralized lubrication system.
To prevent confusion, we recommend
that you attach information indicating
the lubricant to be used on the lubricant
reservoir.
The described product can be operated with lubri-
cants that comply with the specifications in the
technical data.
Note that some lubricants may have properties
that lie within the permitted limit values and yet
not be suitable for use in centralized lubrication
systems for other reasons. For example, some
synthetic lubricants are not compatible with elas-
tomers.
Oils with a viscosity lower than shown in Table 1
should be avoided, as their load-carrying capacity
may not be sufficient at high bearing loads, which
may reduce bearing service life.
Oils with solid additives cannot be used, as such
oils may leave solid particle sediment within the oil
circuit and thereby block the circuit's function.
There is also a risk of solid particles creating a
coating that critically reduces the bearing clear-
ance.

2.4 Lubricants and the environment
Caution!
Lubricants can contaminate the ground
and watercourses. Lubricants must be
used and disposed of properly. Country
specific regulations and laws on the use
and disposal of lubricants must be ob-
served.
Note that lubricants are harmful to the environ-
ment and flammable; their transportation, storage,
and processing are subject to special precautionary
measures. For specifications on transportation,
storage, processing, and dangers to the use and
the environment for the lubricant, refer to the
material safety data sheet provided by or available
from the lubricant manufacturer. You can ask the
manufacturer of the lubricant for the material
safety data sheet.
