1. With the use of the grease gun, inject grease
through corresponding grease plugs
indicated in the arrow (see the following
page) of the above table “No.1 to 8, 12”.
2. Wipe off old grease squeezed out after
greasing.
3. Place the outriggers when greasing the
outrigger cylinders.
4. Place the boom derricking lever in the “Raise”
position (pull it toward you) to raise the boom
slightly for greasing the derricking cylinder
mounting pin and slide plate that is located on
top of the boom.
5. Place the boom telescoping lever in the
“Extend” position (push it toward the front) to
extend the boom for greasing both sides and
underside of the boom and wire rope.

abrasion and rust formation.
With the rope surface cleaned, grease the
rope with a brush.
