Daily Maintenance of Wire Rope Cleaner & Lubricator Kit
- Ensure the work area is clean and safe, and there is sufficient space around the wire rope connection points to install the VMAXX® wire rope lubricator before mounting it on the cable;
- Ensure the cables, D-shaped shackles and connection points used to anchor the lubricator are rated at a minimum of 0.5 tons;
- Inspect hydraulic hoses, fittings, air lines and connectors for damage or wear before connecting to the pneumatic pump and wire rope lubricator.
- Visually inspect the body to ensure it is not damaged during transportation or handling - any housing damage that prevents proper sealing will seriously reduce the device's ability to force grease into the rope core;
- Always ensure the oil return line delivers to a properly sized container to receive excess grease from the lubricator. Allow grease to flow from the return line without polluting the environment;
- Ensure the wire rope winch controls are locked out and tagged before connecting the lubricator to the wire rope;
- The lubrication system can only be started after the lubricator is assembled, connected to the wire rope and secured in place;
- During operation, the air pressure can reach up to 10bar and the grease pressure up to 50Mpa.
