364 Service products An environmentally compatible hydraulic fluid is extremely important. Besides the operating conditions, service life factor (oil change interval) and the high price difference, the economic aspect must also be taken into account. Compare the price in relation to the downtime factor and disposal. Observe that for synthetic esters there are differences in the basic structures of oleic acid ester products and carboxylic acid ester products: Synthetic esters patible hydraulic oil is expressly ordered as an option (code HB2 or code H97). Diesel fuels Important safety notes G WARNING Fuel is highly flammable. Improper handing of fuel creates a risk of fire and explosion.
Avoid fire, naked flames, smoking and creat- ing sparks under all circumstances. Switch off the engine and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating before refuelling. R oleic acid-based synthetic esters age faster R the operational effectiveness of carboxylic acid-based synthetic esters is virtually unlimited, provided the degree of contam- ination does not require a premature oil change to be performed ! If you are using drums or canisters to refuel the vehicle, you should filter the fuel before adding it. This will prevent malfunctions in the fuel system due to contaminated fuel. Brands of environmentally-compatible hydraulic fluids !
Only refuel using commercially available, sulphur-free diesel fuel that conforms to the European standard EN 590 as of 2010, et seq. (max. 0.001% sulphur by weight). The following fuel types are not permitted: H Environmental note Environmentally compatible hydraulic fluids must be separately stored, collected and dis- posed of in accordance with waste manage- ment laws. Technical data R sulphurous fuel with a sulphur content greater than 0.001% by weight Optional equipment code HB2: the hydraulic system is filled at the factory with RIVOLTA S.B.H. 23. Optional equipment code H97: the hydraulic system is filled at the factory with carboxylic acid ester, Panolin HLP Synth 46.
Have the hydraulic fluid replaced regularly at a qualified specialist workshop. You can find the intervals for hydraulic fluid change and filter change in the maintenance booklet. Mixing similar oil types can affect operational effectiveness and biodegradability to an impermissible degree. Mixing mineral oils and environmentally-friendly hydraulic fluids is not permissible.
The hydraulic system is filled with mineral oil as standard, unless the environmentally com- R aviation turbine fuel R marine diesel fuel R fatty acid methyl ester FAME (bio-diesel fuel) These fuel types cause irreversible damage to the engine and BlueTec ® exhaust gas aftertreatment, as well as also significantly reducing the expected service life. R heating oils ! A higher fuel sulphur content accelerates the ageing process of the engine oil and can damage the engine and exhaust system.
