Advice for Handling Lubricants

Avoid damage to drums and other large containers during handling. Negligent handling can cause leakage or ingression of dirt. Each container used for in-plant lubricants should be used for only one oil, clearly marked for it, and not substituted for another container. It should be kept clean and sealed to keep out dirt. Never mix lubricants.
