8.1 Maintenance

The motor does not require any special mainte-
nance. If it is very dirty, it should be cleaned to
ensure an effective air flow.

The brake does not require any special mainte-
nance. If it is very dirty, it should be cleaned.
Keep it free of oil or grease!
c)
The gear box is maintenance-free.
8.1.4 BLOCSTOP
®
fall arrest device
The BLOCSTOP
®
fall arrest device does not require
any special maintenance.
Always keep the mechanism clean and lightly lubri-
cated, e. g. with GREIFZUG
