( 1 ) | For BIO HYDO HEES oil, the tank temperatures should not exceed 100°C (212°F). Do not use oil in hydraulic systems with clutches or with brakes. |
( 2 ) | 4C-6767 Synthetic Oil is a premium synthetic gear and a bearing lubricant with no viscosity improvers. This lubricant has an ISO Viscosity Grade of 220, and a minimum viscosity index of 150. Soil Compactors without oil pockets require synthetic gear and bearing lubricant. Asphalt Compactors require synthetic gear and bearing lubricant. |
