5540F/YB5515 SERVICE MANUAL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
NOTE: For more details on proper radiator checking and
maintenance procedures, see the engine manual
furnished with the crane.
Drain Water from Engine Fuel Filter (Diesel Engine)
1. Shut off the engine and engage the parking brake.
2. See the engine manual furnished with the crane and
follow the water draining instructions.
Check Hydraulic Oil Level
If the hydraulic oil constantly low, check for leaks in the
hydraulic system.
1. Be sure the boom is fully retracted and lowered and the
outriggers are retracted and up.
2. Level the crane, engage the parking brake and shut off
the engine.
3. Visually check the oil level on the hydraulic oil level sight
gauge (Figure 5-20). The hydraulic oil should be 3 mm
(0.125 in) from the top of the sight gauge. If low, fill tank
with clean recommended hydraulic oil.
Check the Air Cleaner Restriction Indicator
The air cleaner is equipped with a filter restriction indicator
(Figure 5-21). The air cleaner element needs cleaning or
replacing if the indicator’s colored piston has popped out and
is visible when the engine is running at high idle.
To check the visual indicator the engine must be running.
The filter restriction indicator is visible through the rear cab
window.
Don’t remove the element for inspection. Such a check
always does more harm to your engine than the good your
inspection can do. Ridges of dirt on the gasket sealing
surface can drop on the clean filter side when the gasket is
released.
