○Fuses must not be bypassed. Replace
defective fuses always by fuses of the
same type.
○Ensure proper grounding of the product.
○Ensure proper connection of the protec-
tive conductor.
○Undertake drilling at non-critical, non-
load bearing parts only. Use any available
boreholes. Do not damage lines and ca-
bles when drilling.
○Observe possible abrasion points. Protect
the parts accordingly.
○Assemble the product only outside of the
operating range of moving parts, at an
adequate distance from sources of heat
or cold. Other units of the machine or ve-
hicle must not be damaged or impaired in
their function by the installation.
○Dry or cover wet, slippery surfaces
accordingly.
○Cover hot or cold surfaces accordingly.
○Work on electrical components must
be carried out by electrical specialists
only. Observe any waiting periods for
discharging, if necessary. Carry out works
on electrical components only while the
system is depressurized and use voltage
isolated tools suitable for electrical works
only.
○Carry out electrical connections only ac-
cording to the information in the valid
wiring diagram and taking the relevant
regulations and the local connection con-
ditions into account.
○Do not touch cables or electrical compo-
nents with wet or damp hands.

○Carry out transport using suitable trans-
port and hoisting equipment on suitable
ways only.
○Maintenance and repair work can be sub-
ject to restrictions in low or high tempe-
ratures (e.g. changed flow properties of
the lubricant). Therefore, where possible,
try to carry out maintenance and repair
work at room temperature.
○Prior to performing work, the product
and the machine, into which the product
will be integrated, must be depressuri-
zed and secured against unauthorized
activation.
○Ensure through suitable measures that
movable or detached parts are immobi-
lized during the work and that no limbs
can be caught in between by inadvertent
movements.

1.17 Initial commissioning, daily start-up
Ensure that:
○All safety devices are completely available
and functional
○All connections are correctly connected
○All parts are correctly installed
○All warning labels on the product are
present completely, highly visible and
undamaged
○Illegible or missing warning labels are to
be replaced without delay
○All components used must be designed
for:
- maximum operating pressure
- maximum / minimum ambient
temperature
- the lubricant to be supplied
- the ATEX zone required
- the operating / ambient conditions at
the place of usage.
○No parts of the centralized lubrication
system may be subjected to torsion,
shear, or bending.
○Check all parts prior to their usage for
contamination and clean, if necessary.
○Lubricant lines should be primed with
lubricant prior to installation. This makes
the subsequent ventilation of the system
easier.
○Observe the specified tightening torques.
When tightening, use a calibrated torque
wrench.
○When working with heavy parts use sui-
table lifting tools.
○Avoid mixing up or wrong assembly
of dismantled parts. Mark these parts
accordingly.
1.18 Cleaning
○Risk of fire and explosion when using
inflammable cleaning agents. Only use
non-flammable cleaning agents suitable
for the purpose.
○Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
○Thoroughly remove residues of cleaning
agents from the product.
○Do not use steam jet and high pressure
cleaners. Electrical components may be
damaged. Observe the IP type of protec-
tion of the pump.

to spilled or leaked lubricant B C D F G H K
Be careful when filling the reservoir and when connecting or disconnecting lubri-
cant feed lines. Always use suitable hydraulic screw connections and lubrication
lines for the stated pressures. Do not mount lubrication lines to moving parts or
friction points. If this cannot be avoided, use spring coils respectively protective

2.2 Selection of lubricants
SKF considers lubricants to be an element
of system design. A suitable lubricant is se-
lected already when designing the machine
and forms the basis for the planning of a
centralized lubrication system.
The selection is made by the manufacturer
or operator of the machine, preferably to-
gether with the lubricant supplier based on
the requirement profile defined.
Should you have little or no experience with
the selection of lubricants for centralized lu-
brication systems, please contact SKF.
If required we will be glad to support cus-
tomers to select suitable components for
feeding the selected lubricant and to plan
and design their centralized lubrication
system.
You will avoid possible downtimes through
damage to your machine or system or
damage to the centralized lubrication
system.
2.3 Material compatibility
Lubricants must generally be compatible
with the following materials:
○steel, grey iron, brass, copper, aluminium
○NBR, FPM, ABS, PA, PU
2.4 Temperature characteristics
The lubricant used must be suitable for
the specific operating temperature of the
product. The viscosity required for proper
operation of the product must be adhered
to and must not be exceeded in case of low
temperatures nor fall below specification in
case of high temperatures. Specified viscosi-
ties, see chapter Technical data.

Only lubricants specified for the
product may be used. Unsuitable
lubricants may lead to a failure of
the product.
Do not mix lubricants. This may
have unforeseeable effects on
the usability and therefore on the
function of the centralized lubri-
cation system.
When handling lubricants the rel-
evant safety data sheets and haz-
ard designations, if any, on the
packaging have to be observed.
2.5 Ageing of lubricants
After a prolonged downtime of the machine,
the lubricant must be inspected prior to
re-commissioning as to whether it is still
suitable for use due to chemical or physical
ageing. We recommend that you undertake
this inspection already after a machine
downtime of 1 week.
If doubts arise as to a further suitability of
the lubricant, please replace it prior to re-
commissioning and, if necessary, undertake
initial lubrication manually.
It is possible for lubricants to be tested in the
company's laboratory for their suitability for
being pumped in centralized lubrication sys-
tems (e.g. "bleeding").
Please contact SKF. if you have further ques-
tions regarding lubricants.
You may request an overview of the lubri-
cants tested by SKF.
Due to the multitude of possible
additives, individual lubricants,
which according to the manu-
facturer's data sheets fulfil the
necessary specification, may not,
in fact, be suitable for use in cen-
tralized lubrication systems (e. g.
incompatibility between synthetic
lubricants and materials).
In order to avoid this, always use
lubricants tested by SKF.
