LUBRICATION
Lubricate load chain with a light coat of chain oil or equal lubricant.
Be sure the lubricant reaches the bearing surfaces between the links.
Remove excess oil from the chain.
WARNING
Used motor oil contains unknown carcinogenic
materials.
TO AVOID HEALTH PROBLEMS
Never use used motor oils as a chain lubricant. Only use chain oil as a
lubricant for the load chain.
The chain block normally requires no additional lubricant except for
periodically lubricating the load chain as indicated or when the unit is
disassembled for periodic inspections, cleaning or repairs.
The brake is designed to operate dry. Do not use any grease or
lubricant on the braking surfaces. When lubricating parts adjacent
to the brake, do not use an excessive amount of lubricant which
could seep onto the brake surface.
WARNING
Using any grease or lubricant on the braking surfaces
will cause brake slippage and loss of load control
which may result in injury and/or property damage.
TO AVOID INJURY
Do not use any grease or lubricant on the braking surfaces. The brake is
designed to operate dry.
When the chain block is disassembled for periodic inspections, check
the pawl for free movement and apply a light coat of WD-40 or similar
lubricant to the pawl stud. When the chain block is disassembled for
cleaning or repairs, the following locations should be lubricated using
approximately 29.5ml per chain block of suitable grease or equivalent:
•
GEARS
•
LIFTWHEEL ROLLERS
•
GEAR BEARING ROLLERS
•
CHAIN
GUIDE & DEAD END PIN
Note: To assure extra long life and top performance, be sure to lubricate the
various parts of the chain block using the lubricant specified above.
