9.4 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING BY USERS
9.4.1 Lubrication – general
• All worm gear screw jack units are despatched with grease in the worm wheel stage. AB Benzlers grade
and type of grease will be stamped on the sign.
• Lubricating the threaded spindle is the responsibility of the customer and must be done using lubricants
according to the table ”Typ of grease (* = standard at delivery)” on page 31.
• Lubricating the threaded spindle is an important and determining factor in the proper functioning of the
jack.
• It must be done in intervals that assure a constant coat of clean lubricant between the contact parts.
• Insufficient or improper lubrication leads to increased heat and wear, which naturally reduces the operating
life and promotes breakdown.
WARNING: RISK OF SKIN IRRITATION!
Prolonged contact with lubricants can be detrimental to the skin. The manufacturer’s
instructions must be followed when handling lubricants.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND MACHINE DAMAGE!
The lubrication status of the equipment must be checked before commissioning. Read and
carry out all instructions on the lubricant plate and in the instal- lation and maintenance
literature. Heed all warning tags. Failure to do so could result in mechanical da- mage and
in extreme cases risk of injury to personnel.
9.4.2 Lubrication – temperature limitations
Check if lubricant grade (stamped on nameplate) is suitable for the operating ambient temperature range.
