INTRODUCTION
The different lubricants given for the same application do not correspond to each other completely.
Therefore, they are not to be mixed.
When the ambient temperature stays permanently above +50 C, the suitable oil quality must be
determined by a specialist.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Waste oil and material must be taken care of according to the local requirements and KONE
Environment policy.

SAFETY
Pay attention to following safety items:

General KONE safety regulations are to be followed during the work. All safety measures signified
for normal elevator maintenance are to be implemented and local safety regulations followed.
Refer to AM-01.03.002 Take 5 Electrical Safety When Working on Elevators The Take 5 safety
initiative is designed for installation, servicing, maintenance and modernisation work done on lifts.
Use gloves when handling oily substances.

WORM GEARS

4.1

Synthetic oils
The gear factory HHG has used synthetic oil in the gears beginning from 1.10.1983. The oil type is
given in the oil label of the gear. A synthetic lubricant contributes to a life time 2...5 times longer
compared to mineral oils.
Synthetic oil must not be applied in gears, the oil label of which gives mineral oil, unless its influence on
seals and on the paint of the gear interior surface has been taken into account. When using oils based
on synthetic hydrocarbons or polyglycol, nitrile rubber seals on the secondary shaft and viton rubber or
fluoro rubber seals on the primary shaft are applicable. When using polyglycol based oil, the gear must
be finished with paint that resists permanent contact with hot synthetic oil.

Mineral oils
The following mineral oils include extreme pressure additives. If the additives are sulphur based, they
can cause chemical corrosion of bronze in high operating temperatures. Oils including metallic
additives (lead) and synthetic oils do not cause chemical corrosion.

GREASE LUBRICATION OF ANTI-FRICTION AND SLEEVE BEARINGS

These greases are suitable for use in anti-friction and sleeve bearings. Because of their wide operating
temperature range and good resistance to water they are applicable as multipurpose greases. So
called graphite grease is not recommended for anti-friction bearings.

In special cases, when the ropes have slippage, silicone based lubricants can be used as an exeption.
Two-fold friction compared to mineral oils can be reached by using silicone based lubricants.
