SURFACE MILWAUKEE OPS 1A1 MATERIAL SPECIFICATION

1.0 SCOPE / PURPOSE

This specification qualifies the use of open gear lubricants defined in ISO / TR 18792: 2008(E) as Residual
Compounds 6.2.1.1 (asphaltics or bituminous), Greases 6.2.1.2 and Lubricating Compounds 6.2.1.4. These
lubricants contain highly fortified blends of viscous oils combined with additives to form a stable, long lasting,
high load carrying and wear resistant film that lubricates under boundary conditions as found in a variety of
large surface mining equipment continuous operation applications.

Materials furnished under this specification are intended to lubricate open gears, racks, bushings, rails, rollers,
dipper handles and walk mechanisms. These applications are subject to extreme contact pressures, reversing
loads that may dwell at zero velocity while loaded and operation under varied weather conditions.

Materials furnished under this specification are not intended for use in moderate to high speed anti-friction
bearings, electric motor bearings, Magnetorque clutches, and other applications where there may be service
requirements of the lubricant that differ from or are beyond those described in this specification. Depending
upon the consistency of products, they may not be appropriate for use in couplings or with labyrinth seals.

Lubricants specified herein must be capable of being dispensed through the components of a centralized
lubrication system (spray nozzles, injectors, lines and metering blocks) without plugging or plating. They must
also be capable of being dispensed at the lowest anticipated operating temperature to the most remote
application point.

This specification covers all grades of open gear lubricants that are useable from -50oC (-58oF) to +60oC
(+140oF) ambient temperature. The particular grade selected must perform in the specific temperature range
in which it is utilized.

Materials specified herein must meet the performance requirements of section 2.2.

The open gear lubricants specified herein must have the necessary adhesive and cohesive properties to resist
chipping, throw off, and run off, and provide the necessary film thickness and lubricating properties to prevent
metal to metal contact between application intervals under all operating conditions.

These lubricants must be specifically formulated to protect surfaces from wear, have excellent water resisting
and rust preventing properties, and have the necessary properties to provide exceptional service life of the
components which they lubricate under all operating conditions.

The material furnished under this specification may contain an evaporative solvent to improve dispensability.
The solvent must be compatible with all centralized lubrication system components (gaskets, o-rings, vent
valves, etc).

2.3 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

2.4 IDENTIFICATION AND PACKAGING

Containers must be clearly marked by the supplier with the full product name.

Identification must remain legible upon outdoor storage of the containers.

If appropriate, a shelf life of 12 to 36 months should be clearly marked on the container.

Any special considerations regarding the storage of the product such as protection of container openings,
elimination of water build up, etc. should be clearly communicated to the end user.

Material Safety Data Sheet (SDS) must be supplied to the end user for each product delivered.

2.5 INSPECTION AT PURCHASERS WORKS

2.6 ADDITIONAL CRITERIA OF ACCEPTANCE

Conformance to all specified requirements shall not constitute the sole basis of acceptance since all lubricants
must be judged further on their satisfactory field performance on the type and model equipment which they are
intended to lubricate.

Re-lubrication volume and frequency can directly affect the performance of a lubricant and the economies of
operation. Consult the equipment shop manual and lubricant supplier for the re-lubrication volume and
frequency for each application.

The suitability of a lubricant is highly dependent upon environmental conditions. It is the consumers
responsibility to provide the lubricant supplier(s) with the appropriate application data, material specification(s),
environmental data such as temperature and weather conditions and type of centralized lubrication system.

Materials specified herein shall meet all applicable safety, health, and environmental regulations.

It is the responsibility of the consumer to verify that lubricants conform to applicable local environmental and
safety codes governing their use and disposal.
