Lubrication - Zepro ZHD 1500 User Manual

Lubrication

Which grease can I use?
Zepro recommend an acid-free lithium-complex grease with a high quality paraffin base oil
as ground. The grease must meet ASTM D 4950, SAE J310 and NLGI (grade 2) GC-LB
specification as well be classed EP (extreme pressure).
Graphite grease should not be used.
How often should I lubricate?
Depending on lift model, bearings and axles there is different lubrication intervals. See the
table below for Zepro's recommendations.
Minimum lubrication / year
ZHD 1500/2000/2500
ZHD 3000
SZF
ZKZ
ZHZ (fully lubrication free)
Other models
* Includes bearing which is lubrication free. See installation instructions for details.
Generally: More lubrication intervals may be required if you are running in a hostile
environment, or washing the lift often.
Contact Zepro for advice.
What should I consider?
Before lubricating should the lift be
cleaned, especially lubrication points and
nipples should be thoroughly cleaned.
Lubrication should be performed so that a
collar with grease is visible on both sides of
the bearings to protect against the ingress
of water, salt, sand and dirt.
(See image to the right.)
Things to check?
When lubricating, the grease nipples
should be checked to ensure they are
function correctly and are not damaged,
defective nipples should be replaced. If
you can not get grease even though the
new nipple is assembled, the pivot bolt should be disassembled. Bearings, pivot bolts and
lube channels be cleaned, re-grease and assembled back, and then lubricate in the usual
way. If necessary, replace pivot bolt and / or bearings.
For lubricating points, see the lubrication instruction IE-0101
