WARNING
Before and after a long stop of the crane, lubrication is necessary (especially after
a winter shutdown).
WARNING
Follow the lubrication schedule exactly. If you do not do so, you can cause
serious damage to the crane, interchangeable equipment and/or optional crane
component, if mounted.
Procedure:
1. Shut down the crane.
2. Make sure that all the lubrication points are clean before lubricating. Dirt can damage the
parts.
3. Lubricate all points in each section.
4. Operate the crane through the full cycle for each section. Moving the lubricated parts is very
important to get the full and correct lubrication of all moving components.
5. Shut down the crane and repeat the lubrication.
6. Lubrication is finished when the grease spills out from the ends. Clean the excess grease.
WARNING
Personnel must not try to work on a moving/activated crane as there is a risk of
serious injury or death.
You will need different tools based on the area to lubricate: a pressure grease pump , an oiler
, a brush .
CAUTION
When you use pressure grease pumps, open the plastic safety guard of the nipple
and close it at the end.
Greases
• Use molybdenum-disulfide grease (for bronze-made components).
• Use lithium-based grease AGIP MUEP2 or equivalent, for the booms, JIB, and stabiliser
extensions.
CAUTION
Do not mix greases with different characteristics. If you change from one kind to
another, fully remove the old grease by applying a large quantity of the new one.
Recommended greases:
Use Nilex 2 (Nils) or grease type NILS ATOMIC RH for cranes equipped with centralised or
automatic greasing system.
