10.0 Safety Recommendations
10.1 Caution Level Rating
•
Before installation of the wire rope lubricator onto the cable, ensure the
work area is clean and safe to work in with adequate space around the
cable attachment point, for attachment of the Viper collar.
•
Ensure buckles and straps, D shackles and attachment points used to
anchor the Viper Lubricator are rated for a minimum WWL of 500 kg.
•
Check hydraulic hose, couplings air lines and fittings for damage or wear,
before connecting to grease pump and Viper lubricator collar. Carry out
visual inspection of the Viper collar to ensure it has not been damaged
during transport or handling. Damage to the casing that prevents it from
sealing correctly will severely reduce the unit's ability to force lubricant to
the ropes core and could be a potential safety hazard.
•
Always ensure the return grease line feeds to a container of suitable size for
receiving the excess grease from the Viper lubricator. Grease allowed to
flow from the return line without being captured may cause a serious slip or
environmental hazard.
•
Note Lubricants vary in their hazard and environmental ratings, please
ensure Material Safety Data Sheets for all lubricants used with the Viper are
kept in close proximity to the kit. Lubrication Engineers recommend a copy
of the Lubricant in use MSDS is kept in the Aluminium carry case for
reference as required. Lubrication Engineers supply a copy of the Viper
WRL Coating Grease CG-0 MSDS with any kits that include this product.
