MAINTENANCE

This section provides information about 
maintaining the pipe stand in proper operating 
condition . Replacement parts must be ordered 
from Victaulic to ensure proper and safe 
operation of the pipe stand .

1.

  Clean the upper, intermediate, and bottom 

columns with a wire brush to remove any 
debris .

2.

  Regular lubrication is required for the pipe 

stand . On a monthly basis, apply a dry 
graphite spray to the upper, intermediate, 
and bottom columns . Work the dry 
graphite in by using the ratchet to lower 
and raise the roller support .

3.

  On a monthly basis, apply chain lubricant 

to the entire length of the chain .

4.

  Lubricate the threaded roll shaft/hex nut 

assemblies that retain the polyethylene 
wheels .
