LUBRICATION
2.1
Note 1
All Red Rooster hoist chain must be lubricated to prevent wear.
Keeping load chain clean and lubricated will greatly increase the lifetime of the chain and prevent costly replacement. Very little lubricant is
needed and can be easily applied to the chain by cloth, brush or spray.
Note 2
Geared wheels (air + geared trolley only) - Lubricate exposed trolley drive pinion and wheel teeth. Brush with grease as often as necessary to
keep teeth liberally covered. If the grease becomes contaminated with sand, dirt or other worn materials, remove old greases and replace with
new grease (standard grease) during monthly or annual inspection. Temperature range of standard grease is -10ºC to +50ºC. If the trolley is used
at temperature below -10ºC or above +50ºC, consult Red Rooster since come parts shall be changed.
Note 3
Trolley wheel bearings do not need to be lubricated and must be replaced if worn or damaged. Hand chain, used on geared trolleys, does not
normally require lubrication.
In areas of high corrosion, plated chain can be used along with special lubricants to prevent corrosion from sea water and spray. Chains used
in these areas should be re-lubricated on a regular basis.
NEVER use heavy grease or bitumen based products to lubricate the chain as these will foul the chain guide, idler and load wheels and
bearings.
Remove dust and water drops on the Load Chain and then apply lubricant. Application of lubrication influences on the life of the Load
Chain considerably. Apply the lubricant sufficiently.
