Maintenance intervals:
• Carried out by the operator: daily and monthly inspection.
• Carried out by an authorised service workshop:
◦ 1st service: to be made after 50 hours or 2 months of use.
◦ Regular service: to be made when one of these conditions are met:
▪ 1,000 hours of use
▪ 365 days
NOTE
These maintenance intervals could be needed more frequently if the use of the
crane is in special conditions (high amount of cycles, heavy loads, etc...) and/or
hard environmental conditions (deserts, mines, etc...). Please, contact your Effer
representative.
NOTE
Refer to the “Service and warranty manual” to know the actions performed by the
authorised service workshop.
Long storage of the crane
If you need to store your crane for a month or longer, do this first:
1. Clean it according to the instructions in the section "Cleaning" of this manual.
2. Lubricate it according to the lubrication schedule of this manual.
3. Put the crane into transport position and disconnect the power from the vehicle battery.
4. Put grease on the exposed piston rod(s) and the external seals of the hydraulic cylinders.
5. Put a plastic cover on the crane.
6. Protect it from rain, sun and dirt as much as possible.
Cleaning
Clean your crane regularly, but:
• Always set the power off before you start.
• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
• If you use a high pressure water jet, make sure that:
◦ Temperature of the cleaning water is between
50ºC-60ºC.
◦ Maximum working pressure is 150 bar.
◦ Minimum distance between the nozzle and the surface to clean is 80 cm.
CAUTION
Never use a high pressure water jet on electronic parts, hose reels, cable reels,
plastic components, signs, bearings, control valves, cylinders or the oil tank. Only
the cranes surface may be cleaned with a high-pressure jet cleaner.
