Before Operation
1.
Checking the operating air pressure
CAUTION
;
Maintain the correct air pressure.
・
The operating air pressure is 0.4
~
0.6Mpa
≪
Recommended 0.6MPa
≫
Operating at air pressures above 0.4
~
0.6Mpa will effect the durability, performance and safety
of the hoist. As a result, it is important to consider the pressure for the air compressor, volume
and piping aspects to operate the hoist at its best level.
※
Please note the air pressures stated above are actual operating air pressures and not the air
pressure when the hoist is not operating, which is normally slightly lower. As a result, always
check the air pressure when the air hoist is operating..
2.
Lubrication
CAUTION
;
Maintain correct lubrication.
・
The lubricator (line oiler) in the air line will supply lubrication to the air motor. Oil supply should be
15-20 drops/min. (0.3-0.4 cc)
・
For the chain, Lubricate chain links and sprockets contacting part on both Load Sheave and Free
Chain Wheel with Fricttle 2 (liquid type, Rix Corporation product) in every 300 cycles.
Make sure
to lubricate chain when it is dry even before reaching 300 cycles.
Viscogen KL300 (Castrol .Ltd
product) can be used instead of Fricttle 2 in a light use, less than 30 cycles a day. In this case
lubricate chain every 30 cycles.
Spray type is recommended for easy lubricating.
If air maintenance is not performed properly, this will lead to rust, malfunctioning and premature
wear of the internal parts, and this may result in personal injury.
・
Lubrication to the reduction gears is not needed on a daily basis. Grease up when the hoist is
disassembled.
