Component/System Checks
Check Fuel Level
Check the fuel supply daily before operation. Turn the
ignition key to the ON position and view the fuel gauge on the
instrument panel. If necessary, fill the tank with
recommended fuel (see Figure 6-11).
Engine fuel is flammable and can cause a fire and/or
explosion. Avoid personal injury or death by keeping sparks,
open flames, and smoking materials away from the crane
and fuel during refueling or fuel system servicing. Know the
location of the fire extinguishers on the job site and how to
use them.
Maintain control of the hose nozzle when filling the fuel tank.
Do not allow fuel to spill. Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
Dispose of clean up materials properly.
DO NOT fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for fuel
expansion.
Tighten the fuel cap securely. If the cap is lost, replace only
with original equipment.
Check the Engine Crankcase Oil Level
1. Level the crane, engage the parking brake and stop the
engine.
2. Open the engine compartment cover.
3. Remove the engine oil dipstick (see Figure 6-8) and
check the oil level. Oil should be visible within the
crosshatched mark area on the dipstick.
4. If the oil is low, add recommended oil to bring the level
up to the crosshatch area of the dipstick. When full,
install the dipstick and close the engine compartment
cover.
Check the Transmission Oil Level
1. Check the oil level when the oil is cold. Level the crane,
engage the parking brake and stop the engine.
2. Open the engine compartment cover. Remove the
dipstick (Figure 6-8) and check the oil level. Oil should
be visible on the dipstick between the minimum and
maximum marks with the oil cold.
3. If oil is low, add recommended oil to bring the level
between the marks. DO NOT OVERFILL. Install the
dipstick. Close the cover.
