(2) Matters needing attention in maintenance

① The service life of the steel wire rope has a great relationship with the method of use. Therefore, it should be used according to the regulations, dragging and throwing are prohibited, overloading is not allowed during use, the steel wire rope is not allowed to bend at an acute angle, and the lifting speed is not allowed to change sharply. Avoid shock loads.

②When the steel wire rope has rust and dust, use a wire brush to remove it and apply oil.

③The steel steel wire rope should be oiled every 4 months. It is best to soak the core of the rope with hot oil (about 50℃) and wipe off the excess grease.

④After the steel wire rope is coiled, it should be placed in a clean and dry place, and should not be stacked to prevent sprain.

⑤ The end of the steel wire rope is tied up with a steel wire or welded firmly with an alloy with a low melting point, or it can be fastened with an iron band to prevent the rope from loose.

⑥During use, if oil droplets are squeezed out on the surface of the steel wire rope, it indicates that the steel wire rope has been subjected to considerable strength. At this time, the load should be stopped and checked, and if necessary, replace the new steel wire rope.

⑦The carrying capacity of the traction steel wire rope should be 5-8 times the total traction.
