Load Unit: Prevent Rust

Where you operate the load unit determines how often you take rust prevention

measures. Humid and corrosive environments require more prevention.

Recommended

supplies:

• Ethanol

• Silicone spray

• 000 emery cloth

• Touchup paint

• Metal primer paint

• Lint-free cloths

The crosshead can slip if the columns are still damp with kerosene.

You can be hurt and your equipment damaged.

The crosshead locks cannot securely clamp on damp columns. Wait until the

columns are dry to the touch before moving and locking the crosshead.

WARNING

Unpainted surfaces: Spray with silicone, and

then wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth. Or,

wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth dampened

with clean hydraulic fluid.

Chrome plated surfaces: For microscratches,

wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth dampened

with Ethanol. For rust discoloration, polish

with a very fine emery cloth, and then wipe

down.

Black oxide surfaces: Spray with silicone, and

then wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth. Or, wipe
