Lift chains

WARNING!

Non-lubricated and incorrectly cleaned lift chains can cause accidents

Lift chains are safety-critical parts. They must not contain any serious contamination.

Lift chains and pivot pins must always be clean and well lubricated.

XLift chains should only be cleaned with paraffin derivatives e.g. petroleum or diesel

fuels.

XNever clean chains with steam jet high pressure cleaners, cold or chemical clean-

ing agents.

XImmediately after cleaning, dry the lift chain with compressed air and apply a chain

spray.

XAlways lubricate a chain when it is discharged.

XLubricate a lift chain with particular care around the pulleys.

Z The lift chains wear rapidly if not lubricated. The intervals stated in the service

checklist apply to normal duty use. More demanding conditions (dust, temperature)

require more regular lubrication. The prescribed chain spray must be used in ac-

cordance with the instructions. Applying grease externally will not provide sufficient

lubrication.
