2.5. Oil & Lubricant Recommendations
Do not allow wire rope to run dry.
Lubricant greatly increases the life of wire rope. Weekly lubrication and cleaning is satisfactory, but under hot, dirty, and
extreme conditions it may be necessary to clean the wire rope at least once a day and lubricate it several times between
cleaning.
Suspension pins should be lubricated at least twice per year for normal usage; more frequently for heavier usage or severe
conditions.
