PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
Always use approved protective equipment. Operators and all other persons in the working area must wear protective equipment,
including at a minimum:
•
Protective helmet.
•
Safety Goggles,
•
Gloves,
•
Ear Defenders,
•
Dust Mask
•
Steel Toe capped footwear.
Wear clothing suitable for the work you are doing. Tie back long hair and remove any jewellery which may catch in the equipment's
moving parts.
In order to protect the environment, Altrad Belle recommends the use of biologically degradable hydraulic oil.
•
Viscosity (preferred) 20-40 cSt.
•
Viscosity (permitted) 15-100 cSt.
•
Viscosity index Min. 100.
Standard mineral or synthetic oil can be used. When the breaker is used continuously, the oil temperature will stabilise at a level which
is called the working temperature. This will, depending on the type of work and the cooling capacity of the hydraulic system, be be
At working temperature, the oil viscosity must lie within the preferred limits. The viscosity index indicates the connection between vis
cosity and temperature. This is the reason why a high viscosity is preferred, because then the oil can be used within a wider tempera
ture range. The breaker shall not be used, if oil viscosity fails to remain within the permitted area, or if the working temperature of the oil
