Biodegradable Oil

Application

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Biodegradable oils, other than Bio Hy-Gard™, are not recommended.

When use of a biodegradable lubricant is desired or required, Bio Hy-Gard™ is recommended. Bio Hy-Gard™ may be used under normal mowing conditions.

DO NOT USE biodegradable lubricants in machines for the following operations:

• Any machine used for scalping procedure.
• Any verticut operation in temperatures exceeding 90°F. (32°C).
• Mixing of biodegradable oil and mineral oil will reduce the biodegradability of the lubricant in the machine. Mixing of Hy-Gard™and Bio Hy-Gard™ will not result in performance deterioration.

Cold-Weather Operation

Precautions should be taken if Bio Hy-Gard™ containers or equipment are stored for long periods of time in extremely cold temperatures. Freezing should be expected if Bio Hy-Gard™ is subjected to the following temperatures:

• Stored for six months at -1° to -10°F (-18° to -23°C)
• Stored for seven days at -10° to -15°F (-23° to -26°C)
• Stored for three days at -15° to -20°F (-26° to -29°C)
• Stored for two days at -20° to -30°F (-29° to -34°C)
• Stored for one day at -30°F (-34°C) and below.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Equipment should not be started or any operation attempted until Bio Hy-Gard™ has reached a safe operating viscosity.

If freezing of Bio Hy-Gard™ is suspected, the container or equipment MUST be warmed to at least 32°F (0°C) and maintained for 24-48 operating hours to ensure the fluid has reached a safe operating viscosity.
