6.3.4 Cleaning and lubrication of the jib crane
•฀Cleaning฀can฀be฀simply฀done฀using฀means,฀equipment,฀and฀detergents฀and฀solvents฀commonly฀used฀in฀
general cleaning operations of industrial equipment as there are no particular controindications regar-
ding the use of products or materials.
•฀Clean฀away฀any฀foreign฀fouling฀substances฀with฀aspirators,฀absorbent฀cloths,฀etc.
•฀Dry฀the฀grease฀and/or฀oil฀in฀excess฀on฀the฀parts.
•฀ Over฀ time฀ the฀ lubricating฀ power฀ is฀ diminished฀ due฀ to฀ the฀ load฀ stress,฀ therefore฀ proceed฀ to฀ the฀ adjustment฀ or฀
renewal of the lubricants.
•฀The฀lubrication฀of฀the฀jib฀crane฀is฀very฀easy:฀apply฀a฀light฀amount฀of฀oil฀or฀grease,฀between฀the฀bearings฀and฀pivots,฀
in the rotation points of the arm.
•฀It฀is฀very฀important฀to฀lubricate฀the฀lifting฀and฀translation฀mechanisms฀and฀the฀lubrication฀cycles฀for฀them฀are฀
contained in the relevant technical publications included with this one.
•฀Cleaning฀can฀be฀carried฀out฀by฀staff฀who฀are฀not฀highly฀specialised.
•฀It฀is฀necessary฀to฀keep฀clean฀the฀following฀elements฀at฀regular฀intervals:
฀ •฀structure฀of฀the฀jib฀crane฀
(column, bracket, arm, etc.)
฀ •฀mechanisms฀of฀the฀jib฀crane฀(pivots,฀braking฀device)
฀ •฀electric฀parts฀of฀the฀jib฀crane฀
(festooned cable, sleds, etc.)
฀ •฀ components฀ of฀ the฀ lifting฀ unit฀ and฀ the฀ translation฀ unit฀ WHEELS CHAIN HOOK HOOK
block, push-button panel, etc.)
•฀Cleaning฀at฀a฀height฀must฀be฀carried฀out฀by฀qualified฀staff฀equipped฀with฀suitable฀means฀
and personal protection measures.
•฀ These฀ operations฀ are฀ necessary฀ every฀ three฀ months฀ to฀ allow฀ the฀ performing฀ of฀ the฀
periodical checks.
The฀careful฀lubrication฀of฀the฀mechanism฀of฀the฀jib฀crane฀is฀necessary฀to฀guarantee฀the฀
efficient service the hoist is intended for, as well as its duration.
•฀Lubricants,฀solvents฀and฀detergents฀are฀products฀which฀are฀toxic฀or฀damaging฀to฀health
•฀If฀they฀come฀into฀direct฀contact฀with฀the฀skin฀they฀can฀cause฀irritation
•฀If฀inhaled฀they฀can฀cause฀serious฀poisoning
•฀If฀swallowed฀they฀can฀cause฀death
•฀Use฀them฀with฀care฀using฀adequate฀personal฀protection฀measures฀(DPI)
฀ Do฀not฀dump฀them,฀dispose฀of฀them฀in฀conformity฀with฀the฀legislative฀measures฀currently฀in฀force฀
