MAINTENANCE
The Broderson IC-35 Industrial Crane will perform better and longer if a program of
inspection, lubrication, adjustment and general preventive maintenance is followed. We
recommend the following schedule:
NEW UNIT INSPECTION AND TEST
The following inspection and test should be made before placing the unit on the job.
This will insure that no damage or loss of operating capability occurred during shipment.
1. Check for physical damage.
2. Check for leaks at fittings and drips under chassis.
3. Check radiator coolant level.
4. Check engine oil level.
5. Check hydraulic oil reservoir level.
6. Check fuel tank level.
7. Check tire pressure.
8. Check for loose pins, bolts, and retainers.
9. Operate foot brake. Check for operation.
10. Operate park brake. Check for operation and warning light.
11. Operate throttle. Check for operation.
12. Start engine.
13. Check oil pressure.
14. Check ammeter.
15. Check power steering for operation.
16. Check transmission control switch and accelerator pedal for operation.
17. Check lights for operation.
18. Test drive unit and check for normal operation.
19. Check operation of hydraulic outriggers.
20. Check boom swing.
21. Check boom elevation.
22. Check boom extension (pay out hoist cable during power extension).
23. Perform cable break in procedure.
24. Check anti-two-block system for proper operation and cutout of boom functions.
25. Perform a load test according to the Rated Capacity Limiter Operation Manual.
26. Check the outrigger warning light for proper operation as described on page 2-9.
W A R N I N G
When the Rated Capacity Limiter is inoperative or malfunctioning, it must be
repaired as soon as reasonably possible. When a lift must be made without a
properly functioning RCL, the designated lift supervisor must establish
procedures for determining load weights and load radii and conducting the lift
safely.
