Lubricating
the r
ope
Lubricating the rope
– significantly prolongs its service life and
– keeps the friction between the rope, the sheaves and the hoist drum
as low as p
ossible.
The lubricant is applied to the rope by
– spraying, brushing, rolling or
– by running it through a tray filled with lubricant or
– by means of high-pressure lubrication with a pressure pump.
H
The Manitowoc Crane Group Germany GmbH recommends high-pressure
lubrication with a pressure pump (GROVE part no. 90018525) for reasons
of sustainability, efficiency and environmental protection.
When lubricating the hoist ropes, observe the instructions concerning
the lub
ricant.
When using the pressure pump, observe the manufacturer's separate
operating instructions.

Manitowoc Crane Care or an authorised
