Before driving the truck crane
Fully retracting all telescopic sections of the main boom after greasing may
result in excess lubricant paste emerging at the collar (1).
• Remove any excess lubricant paste from the collar (1).
This is to prevent any lumps dropping off on to the windscreen and
suddenly obstructing the view when driving.
