HANDLING COMPONENTS
The major components are equipped with lifting lugs which
are identified in the assembly and disassembly steps.
When lifting lugs are not provided, use nylon lifting slings. If
wire rope or chain slings are used, install protective covering
(such as sections of rubber tire) between slings and
component being lifted.
It is owner’s/user’s responsibility to ensure that all lifting
slings, hooks, and shackles are in safe working order and
capable of handling loads applied to them.
RETAINING CONNECTING PINS
Connecting pins are retained in various ways:
• Snap pins
• Quick-release pins
• Cotter pins
• Keeper plates with cap screws and lock washers
Do not operate the crane until all connecting pins are
installed and properly retained.

CLEANLINESS
To prevent dirt from damaging closely machined surfaces of
pins and connecting holes:
• Thoroughly clean all pins and connecting holes.
• Apply a light coat of grease to all pins and connecting
holes.
HOSE AND CABLE CLEANLINESS
To prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic systems or from
damaging the electric connectors:
• Thoroughly clean the hydraulic fittings and the electric
connectors before connecting them.
• Thoroughly clean the dust caps before attaching them to
hoses, tubes, or cables.
• Do not drag the hydraulic hose fittings, the hydraulic
hoses, the electric cable connectors, or the electric
cables on the ground.
NOTE: Apply a light coat of silicone lubricant to the threads
of all dust caps, couplers, and connectors to help in
preventing the threads from seizing.

The live mast, live mast cylinders, and live mast arms can be
damaged when attempting to lower the live mast (to rear)
during cold weather.
Do not attempt to lower the live mast with the mast hoist
during cold weather until the following steps have been
performed:
• Temperature of hydraulic oil warmed up to at least 60°F
(16°C)
• Mast cylinders fully extended and retracted twice to fill
cylinders with warm oil
