Notes on the selection of oils and greases
Original Bucyrus HEX oils and greases
Besides regular and careful maintenance, the quality of the oils and greases used in the machine has a decisive influence on high performance, reliability and long service life of a machine and of its units and assemblies.
The lubricants tables in the Bucyrus HEX Operating Instructions contain specifications for the oils and greases that are approved for use in Bucyrus HEX machines. These oils and greases are especially adapted to Bucyrus HEX machines and their units and assemblies.
Other oils and greases which do not fulfil the requirements of the specifications can be the cause of premature wear or of damage to and failures of machine units and assemblies.
For this reason, Bucyrus HEX only approves the use of the specified oils and greases. All other qualities are not approved.
Alternative oils and greases
The oils and greases filled into the machine must meet at least the specifications mentioned in the lubricants tables of the Bucyrus HEX Operating Instructions.
In the event of damage to the machine or to its units and assemblies caused by the use of alternative oils and greases that are not compatible with Bucyrus HEX specifications, Bucyrus HEX does not assume any responsibility and does not accept any warranty claims.
