Maintenance - Climax LM5200 Operating Manual

Maintenance

Failure to properly maintain the machine will result in premature wear or
damage to the machine. Damaged caused by improper or inadequate
machine maintenance is not covered by the machine limited warranty.
Cleaning and Lubrication
• Clean the machine after each use to remove dirt, grease, metal chips, and moisture.
Wipe dry with clean materials.
•
Proper lubrication accomplishes the following:
• Minimizes friction to prevent seizure and reduce wear.
• Forms an oil film on metal surfaces to decrease friction and pressure acting on the
surface.
• Prevents oxidation and corrosion of metal surfaces.
Avoid damage, premature machine wear, and protect your warranty by
using only approved lubricants.

Use highly anti-corrosive, refined mineral or synthetic oil that forms a strong oil film and is not easily emulsified or

washed away by coolant. Hydraulic oils are typically not suitable for slide way lubrication.
2 While lithium based grease can be used, a calcium based grease allows for greater lubricity while ingesting higher
amounts of water (common in portable machine tools).
3 Never assume that oil in drums is clean. Always filter oil before filling gearbox (filter paper or 5 micron filter).
