5.1.1 Procedure for cleaning the Lifting Apparatus
Submerge the apparatus in a bath of oil, petrol or similar. The apparatus should be
left in this bath for a considerable time (the entire night, for example).
Engage the levers at least a few times while the Lifting Apparatus is in the bath to
ensure the cleaning agents penetrate the entire mechanism.
Remove the Lifting Apparatus from the bath and place it with the levers face down
to enable the residue left inside the equipment to flow out.
Leave it to dry before oiling.
We should also inspect the state of the casing. The existence of impact marks or dents
hamper the movement of the mobile parts of the mechanism, resulting in the Traction
Apparatus malfunctioning.
5.2 Maintenance of the Cable
The inspection and maintenance of the Cable is as important, or even more important, than
that of the other parts. When a Cable is in use, the stress it undergoes reduces its diameter
and stretches it.
The Cable needs to be replaced when its original diameter has been reduced by 10% or
more. Fig. 5-1 illustrates the correct manner in which to conduct this operation.
WARNING:
Do not use solvents such as acetone, trichloroethylene,
trichloroethane or by-products of the same as a cleaning agent,
due to their high toxicity levels and for ecological and
environmental reasons.
WARNING:
Care should be taken when using cleaning agents such as oil,
petrol and similar due to the high flammability of these products.
