CAUTION
• The given frequencies are indicative and refer to normal conditions of use. They may
therefore be subject to variations in relation to the type of service, a more or less
dusty environment, seasonal factors, etc.
• In the case of heavy-duty conditions, the maintenance operations should obviously
be more frequent.
• Before injecting grease into the lubricators, the greasing points must be thoroughly
cleaned to prevent mud, dust or foreign bodies from mixing with the lubricant, thus
reducing lubricating effect.
