LUBRICATION
2.1
Note 1
In all cases oil will be expelled from the hoist exhaust. The amount discharged is proportional to the delivery rate of the lubricator. In
environments where oil in the exhaust cannot be tolerated, the exhaust can be piped away to a safe area, but this requires specialist
modification of the hoist (See air service equipment) - CONSULT YOUR DEALER.
Note 2
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.
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.
