5. If lubricant leakage occurs around the collar, check the collar is correctly
tightened and seals are fitted correctly.
6. An even balance between lubricant volume and wire rope travel speed is
required to achieve an even lubricant film combined with optimum
penetration.
7. Once the optimum lubricant coverage is achieved, run the complete rope
at a consistent speed though the Viper.
8. Note that the Viper collar with flexible seals is not a pressure vessel and is
not designed to hold pressure. The grease pressure is generated by both
the pump and the action of the rope travelling through the lubricant
chambers in the seal. The Viper grease pump should not be operated with
the wire rope stationary.
