    Directions For Use:

    Polywater® CLR Lubricant can be squeezed, pumped or hand applied directly onto the wire or cable. The conduit should be clean and continuous.

    To prelubricate for long or difficult pulls, squirt a liberal amount of Polywater® CLR Lubricant into the conduit before the pull begins and use a mandrel or a swab on the winch line to spread the lubricant during the pull.

    Clean-up by wiping off excess lubricant with a rag.

    Recommended Lubricant Quantity
    Q = K X L X D

    Where:

    Q = quantity in gallons (liters)
    L = length of conduit run in feet (meters)
    D = ID of the conduit in inches (mm)
    K = 0.0015 (0.0008 if metric units)

    The quantity that is appropriate for any given pull can vary from this recommendation by 50%, depending on the complexity of the pull. Consider the following factors:

    Cable weight and stiffness - (Increase quantity for stiff, heavy cable)
    Conduit condition - (Increase quantity for old, dirty or rough conduits)
    Conduit fill - (Increase quantity for high percent conduit fill)
    Number of bends - (Increase quantity for pulls with several bends)
    Pulling environment - (Increase quantity for high temperatures)
