free of any condensation or contamination that might cause trouble and affect performance during equipment operation. Severe operating conditions may demand more frequent oil changes. Lubricant oil should be drained immediately after the machine is turned off so that any incidental contaminants are still in suspension in the hot oil so as to ensure that the largest amount possible of contamination is removed along with the oil. Use extreme caution when handling hot oil. Vibrating screens A B 1 2 Lubrication of linear exciters type ML C
To ensure the service life of linear exciters type ML (used in screens
