5.13 Lubricants
Lubricants
Simba strongly recommend the use of
Lithium Complex EP2 Grease in the disc
hubs of your DTX 300. This grease is a
Lithium Complex soap dispersed in a min-
eral oil and is interpreted by IARC as being
non-carcinogenic. Grease cartridges are
available from Simba (P12710). Using this
grease in combination with the labyrinth type
seal it is permissible to lengthen the greas-
ing 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.
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.
