If the chain is dry and no lubricant can be seen on its surface, it must be lubricated.

For very dusty or dirty operations:

The lubricant enables dirt to adhere to the chain, making it stiff and susceptible to greater wear in the chain hoist. Under these conditions, the chain may require more frequent replacement instead of lubrication. Shorten the test intervals.

A well-lubricated chain wears much slower and can be used considerably longer. The chain must be lubricated before operation.

   Press the LIFT button and allow the chain to run into the chain box. Lubricate the chain during its movement.

Lubricant: “Chainlife S”. For details, see Lubricants.

   Apply additional lubricant to the unstressed chain in the chain box so that it flows into the joints of the chain links.
