6.3.4 Cleaning and lubrication of the jib crane<br />
• Cleaning can be carried out by staff who are not highly specialised.<br />
• It is necessary to keep clean the following elements at regular intervals:<br />
• structure of the jib crane (column, bracket, arm,etc.)<br />
• mechanisms of the jib crane (pivots, braking device)<br />
• electric parts of the jib crane (festooned cable, sleds,etc.)<br />
• components of the lifting unit (wheels, chain, hook, hook block, push-button<br />
panel,etc.)<br />
• Cleaning at a height must be carried out by qualified staff equipped with<br />
suitable means and personal protection measures.<br />
• These operations are ecessary every three months to allow the performing<br />
of the periodical checks.<br />
• Cleaning can be simply done using means, equipment, and detergents and solvents commonly<br />
used in general cleaning operations of industrial equipment as there are no particular<br />
controindications regarding the use of products or materials.<br />
• Clean away any foreign fouling substances with aspirators, absorbent cloths, etc.<br />
• Dry the grease and/or oil in excess on the parts.<br />
The careful lubrication of the mechanism of the jib crane is necessary to<br />
guarantee the efficient service the hoist is intended for, as well as its duration.<br />
• Over time the lubricating power is diminished due to the load stress, therefore proceed to the adjustment<br />
or renewal of the lubricants.<br />
• The lubrication of the jib crane is very easy: apply a light amount of oil or grease, between the bearings<br />
and pivots, in the rotation points of the arm.<br />
• It is very important to lubricate the lifting and translation mechanisms and the lubrication cycles for them<br />
are contained in the relevant technical publications included with this one.<br />
• Lubricants, solvents and detergents are products which are toxic or<br />
damaging to health<br />
• If they come into direct contact with the skin they can cause irritation<br />
• If inhaled they can cause serious poisoning<br />
• If swallowed they can cause death<br />
• Use them with care using adequate personal protection measures (DPI) Do<br />
not dump them, dispose of them in conformity with the legislative measures<br />
currently in force for toxic/harmful waste.<br />
