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 lubricating oil. 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.
To avoid health problems: Never use used motor oils as a chain lubricant.
WARNING
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.
Using incorrect type/grade of gearbox oil or the wrong quantity of oil may prevent the hoist from
working properly and may affect the ability of the hoist to hold the load.
Gear box should be cleaned and lubricated with ISO VG460 synthetic gear lube every 100 working
hours for initial lubrication and at least once per months for normal usage. Clean and lubricate
more frequently for heavy usage.
Oil change requires 250 CC of oil.
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
WARNING
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
personnel.
