Lubricate the Wire Rope
Apply lubricant to the hoist wire rope to inhibit rust, corrosion
and wear.
1. Unwind the wire rope from the hoist drum.
2. Thoroughly clean the wire rope prior to application of
any lubricant. Use a wire brush and compressed air to
remove all foreign matter and old lubricant.
NOTE: To inhibit personal injury from compressed air,
always wear safety glasses when using
compressed air for cleaning.
3. After cleaning the wire rope, apply a good grade of wire
rope lubricant, to the entire length of the wire rope. Or,
apply a light weight oil that has been preheated to a
temperature between 60° and 100°F (18° to 36° C). Use
a brush or cloth to apply the oil.
NOTE: Be sure the lubricant enters the strands of the wire
rope for proper lubrication. Do not use grease to
lubricate the wire rope.
Lubricate the Swing Gear and Pinion
1. Engage the parking brake and stop the engine.
2. Remove the guard covering the swing pinion.
Rotating gears can cause injury. Keep hands clear of
rotating pinion and gear while the mast is rotating.
3. Using a brush, apply open gear lube to the pinion and
swing gear teeth (Figure 6-19).
4. Start the engine and rotate the mast until a non-
lubricated portion of the swing gear is exposed. Keep
hand away from rotating pinion and gear.
5. Stop the engine.
6. Using a brush, apply open gear lube to the swing gear
teeth.
7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until the complete swing gear is
lubricated.
