Replace the oil in the brake and gear housing in accordance with
the recommendations in Table 6. Refer to Table 8 for
recommended oil type. If hoist use is at normal frequency, the
oil in the reduction housing need not be changed. However,
when hoist use is at greater frequency, or under severe
conditions, the oil may will need to be changed.
To ensure correct performance, highest efficiency and long life,
it is essential that the lubricating oil be maintained at the correct
level. The recommended grade of oil must be used at all times
since the use of unsuitable oil may result in excessive
temperature rise, loss of efficiency and possible damage to the
gears.
Liftchain hoists are shipped from the factory with oil in the
brake and reduction gear assembly.

Hook Assemblies
Hoist top and bottom hooks must be packed with
Ingersoll-Rand No. 68 Grease or a standard No. 2 multi-
purpose grease at regular intervals. Neglect of proper lubrication
can lead to excessive wear.
1.
Lubricate the hook and latch pivot points. Refer to Dwg.
MHP1300. Hook and latch should swivel/pivot freely.
2.
Use Ingersoll-Rand LUBRI-LINK-GREEN
®
or ISO VG
220 (50W) lubricant.
3.
To lubricate hooks, separate hook halves and pack with
grease.
(Dwg. MHP1300)
Air Line Lubricator
If an air line lubricator is used, it should be replenished daily
with ISO VG 100 (30W) lubricant (minimum viscosity 135 Cst
at 104° F (40° C)).
Load Chain
WARNING
• Failure to maintain a clean and well-lubricated load chain
will result in rapid load chain wear that can lead to chain
failure which can cause severe injury, death or substantial
property damage.
1.
Lubricate each link of the load chain weekly. Apply new
lubricant over existing layer.
2.
In severe applications or corrosive environments, lubricate
more frequently than normal.
3.
Lubricate hook and hook latch pivot points with same
lubricant used on the load chain.
4.
If required, clean chain with acid free solvent to remove
rust or abrasive dust buildup and lubricate the chain.
5.
Use Ingersoll-Rand LUBRI-LINK-GREEN
®
or ISO VG
220 (50W) oil.
