C. LUBRICATION:
1. Load Chain: The full length of the chain must be lubricated, including where the chain passes
over the chain wheel(s). Ensure that the contact points between the links (I.E. the chain saddles) are
adequately lubricated. A small amount of lubrication will greatly increase the life of the load chain.
DO NOT allow the chain to run dry. Keep the chain clean and lubricate the chain at regular intervals
with Lubriplate Bar and Chain Oil 10-R or equal lubricant. Normally, weekly lubrication and cleaning
is satisfactory, but under hot and dirty conditions, it may be necessary to clean the chain at least
once daily and lubricate the chain several times between cleanings. When lubricating the chain,
apply sufficient lubricant to obtain natural run-off and full coverage, especially in the interlink area.
Used motor oils contain known carcinogenic materials.
WARNING
To avoid health problems: Never use used motor oils as a chain lubricant. Only use
Lubriplate Bar and Chain Oil 10-R as a lubricant for the load chain.
2. Gearbox: For ambient temperature of approx., 50 F to 122 F, a gear oil of Mm /S at 104 F, with
mild high-pressure additives should be used. Examples of the oil types that can be used are:
Din 51502 Clp 220
E.G. Bp Energol Gr-Xp 20
Esso Spartan Ep 220
Shell Omala Oil 220
Mobil gear 630
Aral Degol Bg 220
3. Important: The bottom block must not touch the floor; if necessary adjust the position of the
chain stop on the slack end of the chain.
The lubricants used for the OZ Electric Chain Hoist may contain hazardous materials that
mandate specific handling and disposal procedures.
To avoid contact and contamination: Handle and dispose of lubricants only as directed in
applicable material safety data sheets and in accordance with applicable local, state and
federal regulations.
D. TESTING:
Before using, all altered, repaired or used hoists that have not been operated for the previous 12 months
must be tested by the user for proper operation.
1. Test the unit without a load and then test the unit with a light load of 50 pounds (23 kg) times
the number of load chain supporting parts to be sure that the hoist operates properly and that the
brake holds the load when control is released.
2. Next test with a load of 125% of the rated capacity. In addition, hoists in which load sustaining
parts have been replaced, you should test the load with 125% of rated capacity by or under an
appointed person and a written report prepared for record purposes.
3. In accordance with the CMAA 78, it is required to have a 100% load test preformed every
four years.
The hoist must only be inspected and maintained by qualified, competent and trained
CAUTION
personnel.
