Measures in case of injury
through oil
Eyes:
Should any oil be splashed into your eyes,
rinse with water for 15 minutes. If the eye is
still irritated, contact a doctor immediately
If oil is swallowed
If oil is swallowed, it is important not to induce
vomiting. Contact a doctor immediately.
Skin irritation caused by oil
In case of prolonged skin contact, wash off
the oil with soap and water.
Oil Spills
Use either sand or a suitable granular
absorbent to soak up any spilt oil. Dispose
of the oil-contaminated absorbent in the
proper manner.
Oil Fires
Never use water to extinguish an oil fire.
The oil will float on the water causing the
fire to spread.
Burning oil/lubricant must be extinguished
using a carbon dioxide powder or foam
extinguisher. Always wear respiratory
equipment when dealing with fires of this
type.
Waste Oil Disposal
Oil-contaminated waste and used oil must
be disposed of in accordance with current
legislation.
Waste oil must be collected and disposed of
in accordance with local regulations. Never
pour used oil into unsealed sewage systems
or drains or onto the ground.
5.16 Lubricants &
Hydraulic Oil
Hydraulic System
The hydraulic fluid from the tractor is mixed
with the hydraulic fluid from the machine.
The supplied machine hydraulic system
contains Total AZOLLA ZS 32 oil.
Lubricants
Great Plains strongly recommend the use
of Lithium Complex EP2 Grease in
the disc of your X-Press. This grease is a
Lithium Complex soap dispersed in a mineral
oil and is interpreted by IARC as being
non-carcinogenic. Grease cartridges are
available from Great Plains (P12710). Using
this grease in combination with the labyrinth
type seal it is permissible to lengthen the
greasing interval on the disc hubs to 200
hours. If using a standard agricultural
grease the disc hubs should be lubricated
every 50 hours.
All other lubricating points on the machine
can be lubricated with multigrade lubricating
grease as specified in DIN 51825 KP/2K -
40.
Advantages of Lithium Complex EP2
Grease
Excellent mechanical stability.
Excellent load carrying properties.
Wide temperature range.
Excellent oxidation stability.
Excellent water resistance.
Compatibility with other greases.
