LUBRICATION
General
Thread lubricant or an anti-seize compound use is recommended 
for threaded shafts, capscrews and nuts. Unless otherwise stated, 
remove old lubricant, clean part with an acid free solvent and 
apply a new coating of lubricant to part before assembly.
Gear
Remove prevailing torque type nut (60) on side of hoist opposite 
hand lever and remove gear case assembly (1). Remove old 
grease and replace with new. For temperatures -29° to 10° C use 
EP 1 grease or equivalent. For temperatures -1° to 49° C use EP 2 
grease or equivalent.
Load Chain
WARNING
• Failure to maintain clean and well lubricated load chain may 
result in chain failure causing injury, death or substantial 
property damage. 
1.
Lubricate each link of chain weekly. Apply new lubricant 
over existing layer. 
2.
In severe applications or corrosive environments, lubricate 
more frequently than normal. 
3.
Lubricate hook and hook latch pivot points with same 
lubricant used on load chain.
4.
To remove rust or abrasive dust buildup, clean chain with an 
acid free solvent. After cleaning, lubricate chain. 
5.
Use Ingersoll Rand LUBRI-LINK-GREEN® or a SAE 50 
to 90W EP oil.
