Installation work
When installing the LAGD 1000, the local accident prevention regulations
and the applicable operating and maintenance instructions must be
observed.
Danger caused by electrical current
The units must only be connected to the power supply by competent
personnel, in conformity with the local connection conditions and
regulations. Improperly connected equipment may lead to serious personal
injury and damage to property.
Danger caused by system pressure
The units may be pressurized. Therefore, they must be made pressure-less
before any extension work, modifications or repairs are carried out.
Grease reservoir
Take care when opening the grease reservoir cover. There is a strong
spring inside. The cover maybe ejected with force.
Plastic pipes
Protect all pipes against damage and excessive heat.
No other material shall be used than those permitted for this
type of unit. Any unsuitable material may cause a failure of the
unit and lead to serious injuries or property damage.
Lubricants
In general, the following lubricants can be used in LAGD 1000 series:
• Greases up to an NLGI grade of 2 with a maximum effective flow
pressure of ≤750 mbar (10.8 psi)
• Base oils of mineral ,synthetic and rapidly biodegradable type.
• Consistency adjustment and additives depend on the individual case.
However there are lubricants that have properties that make them
unsuitable for use in central lubrication units.
Synthetic lubricants, for example, may be incompatible with elastomers.
SKF provides the possibility to check the lubricants for their suitability for
central lubrication units. Consult the SKF specialists.
Transport and storage
In general, there are no limitations with respect to land, air or sea
transport.
Store in a dry place with a storage temperature between -40 °C & +70 °C
(-40 °C & 160 °F). Handle with care!
