3.2 EQUIPMENT LUBRICATION
3.2.1 All grease fittings should be lubricated using NABRICO’s suggested lubricants or similar (See
Appendix 2).
3.2.2
Drive shaft and drum shaft grease fittings should be lubricated at least once a month under normal
conditions and at least once a day under adverse conditions. Lubricate while gears are rotating slowly.
3.2.3 Drive gear teeth should be coated at least once a month. Application with an aerosol can is
recommended for uniform coverage. Graphite or other dry type lubricant should be used instead
of gear grease when the winch is subjected to large amounts of foreign material such as coal dust.
Always keep gear teeth as free of foreign material as possible.
WARNING
Lubricate the spur gears before each operation, and periodically during operation. Failure to
lubricate the gears will cause damage or deformation of gear teeth.
