DANGER!
Working on products that have
not been disconnected from the power
supply can cause serious injury or death
to persons. Installation, maintenance,
and repair work may only be carried out
by qualified experts on products that
have been disconnected from the power
supply. The supply voltage must be
turned off before any product compo-
nents are opened. .
DANGER!
Centralized lubrication systems
are under pressure when they are being
operated. Such systems must therefore
be depressurized before starting instal-
lation, maintenance, or repair work and
before making any changes to the
system.
Authorized personnel
The products described in the installation
instructions may only be installed, operated,
maintained, and repaired by qualified ex-
perts. Qualified experts are persons who
have been trained, instructed, and familia-
rized with the end product into which the
described product is installed.
These persons are considered capable of
such tasks due to their education, training,
and experience with valid standards, condi-
tions, accident prevention regulations in ef-
fect, and installation conditions. They should
be able to carry out the required tasks and to
recognize – and thus avoid – any dangers
that might otherwise occur.
A definition of what constitutes a qualified
person and who are unqualified persons are
stipulated in DIN VDE 0105 and IEC 364.
Danger relating to electric
current
The electrical connection for the described
product may only be established by qualified,
instructed persons who have been autho-
rized by the operator or owner to carry out
this task. If the product is improperly
connected, substantial material or personal
damage my be the consequence.
Danger relating to system

Warranty
The instructions do not contain any informa-
tion on the warranty. This can be found in
the General Conditions of Sales, which are
available at: www.skf.com/lubrication.
Lubricants
General
!All SKF products must only be
used for their intended purpose
and in accordance with the specifications
of the installation instructions for the
product in question.
The intended use of this product is for the
centralized lubrication/lubrication of bea-
rings and wear points with lubricants. All
physical limitations of use stipulated in the
documentation of the product such as the
owner’s manual, technical drawings and ca-
talogs must be observed.
More specifically, we call your attention to
the fact that substances and mixtures classi-
fied as hazardous by the Annex I part 2-5 of
the CLP regulation (EC 1272/2008), and
identified with hazard pictograms GHS01-
GHS06 and GHS08, can only be used to feed
the SKF centralized lubrication systems,
transported or distributed by these systems
after consultation with SKF and obtaining
written permission.
All products manufactured by SKF are not
approved for use in conjunction with gases,
liquefied gases, pressurized gases in solution
and fluids with a vapor pressure exceeding
normal atmospheric pressure (1013 mbars)
by more than 0,5 bar at their maximum per-
missible temperature.
Should there be a need to use the product
to convey media other than lubricants or ha-
zardous substances, this must be discussed
with SKF first and the company must give
express written permission.
In the opinion of SKF, lubricants constitute
a design element that must be considered
when selecting components and designing
centralized lubrication systems.The lubrica-
tion properties of the lubricants in question
must be considered.

While the machinery/bearing manufacturer
usually specifies lubricants, it is the owner/
operator (or maintenance person) who must
finally select the appropriate lubricant, with
the help of the lubricant supplier. When se-
lecting a lubricant, the type of bearing/wear
point, the stresses and strains to be expected
during operation, and anticipated ambient
conditions must be taken into account. All fi-
nancial/economic aspects must also be
considered.
!You must observe the machinery
manufacturer's information on
the lubricants to be used in the
machinery.
DANGER!
The manufacturer of the bearing
or machinery to be lubricated will specify
the lubricant requirements for each
point to be lubricated. You must make
sure that the required quantity of lubri-
cant is provided to the relevant lubrica-
ting point. If a lubricating point is insuffi-
ciently lubricated, the bearing may
become damaged or jammed. If you have further questions, you can
contact SKF.
We can test lubricants in our own labora-
tory to establish their suitability for
!If required, SKF can help cus-
tomers to select suitable compo-
nents for the conveyance of the selected
lubricant and to plan and design their
centralized lubrication system.

Approved lubricants
DANGER!
Only lubricants that have been
approved by SKF for use with the pro-
duct may be used. Unsuitable lubricants
can cause product malfunctions and da-
mage to property.
DANGER!
Different lubricants must not be
mixed together. Doing so can cause da-
mage and require extensive cleaning of
the products/centralized lubrication sys-
tem. To prevent confusion, we recom-
mend that you attach information indi-
cating the lubricant to be used on the
lubricant reservoir.
The described product can be operated with
lubricants that comply with the specifications
in the technical data.
Note that some lubricants may have pro-
perties that lie within the permitted limit va-
lues and yet not be suitable for use in cen-
tralized lubrication systems for other
reasons. For example, some synthetic lubri-
cants are not compatible with elastomers.
Lubricants and the
environment
DANGER!
Lubricants can contaminate the
ground and watercourses. Lubricants
must be used and disposed of in com-
pliance with the rules. Instructions and
local regulations must be observed when
handling lubricants.
Note that lubricants are harmful to the envi-
ronment and flammable; their transporta-
tion, storage, and processing are subject to
special precautionary measures. For specifi-
cations on transportation, storage, proces-
sing, and dangers to the use and the envi-
ronment 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 lubri-
cant for the material safety data sheet.

DANGER!
Centralized lubrication systems
must be absolutely leak-free. Leaking
centralized lubrication systems can
cause a slip hazard. When performing
installation, maintenance, and repairs
test the centralized lubrication system
for leaks. Leaky parts of the centralized
lubrication system or components of the
lubrication equipment have to be sealed
immediately.
Danger relating to lubricants
Leaking centralized lubrication systems or
components of the lubrication equipment
are a source of danger in relation to slip ha-
zard and the risk of injury.These dangers
can cause physical injury to persons or da-
mage to other material assets.
Refer to safety precautions in the lubricant
manufacturer's material safety data sheet.
Lubricants are hazardous substance. It is
essential to respect any safety instructions
given in the lubricant safety data sheet. You
can ask the manufacturer of the lubricant for
the material safety data sheet.
