Operating Instructions
5.13 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
S imba strongly recommend the use of
Lithium Complex EP2 Grease in the disc
and wheel hubs 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 Simba (P12710). Using
this grease in combination with the laby-
rinth type seal it is permissible to lengthen
the greasing interval on the disc hubs to
100 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.
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.
