10. Safety Recommendations – 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 where
the Viper Collar will be attached.
• Ensure buckles and straps, D shackles and attachment points used to anchor
the Viper Lubricator are rated for a minimum WWL of 800kg.
• 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 into 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 allows 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
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all lubricants used with the Viper are kept in close
proximity to the kit. Lubrication Engineering recommend a copy of the lubricant in
use SDS is kept in the Aluminium carry case for reference as required.
