7.4.4 Lubricating the chains
The service life of the chain is directly dependent on the lubrication. If the lubricating
film is permanently maintained, the wear of the chain can be reduced to a minimum.
Suitable lubricant: LongLub adhesive lubricant (MAHA Art. No. 35 1020)
•
Lubricate the chain along its entire length, while continuing to turn the rollers by
hand.
Important: The lubricant must get into the chain joint!
Inadequate lubrication can be recognised on the basis of the following signs:
•
Increased noise
•
Stiff joints
•
Increased power consumption
•
Fretting corrosion in the chain links
In the case of inadequate lubrication, proceed as follows: Clean the chain with a very
low-viscosity oil. This will flush fretting corrosion, old lubricant and other dirt out of
the joint. After the cleaning, lubricate again with a suitable lubricant.
