The hydraulic system and the hydraulic fluid are matched in respect of lubricating performance, effect on seals, and non-compatibility with other materials. For this reason do not mix different types of hydraulic fluid, such as mineral oils, synthetic fluids and water based fluids, and never mix or contaminate your hydraulic fluid with diesel oils or alcohol based products.
We recommend the use of non-molybdenum based greases as these do not deteriorate the crane bushings. |
