LUBRICATION RT600E OPERATOR MANUAL

Published 05-02-2018 Control # 088-10
It is recommended that all exposed cylinder rods be
protected using Boeshield® T-9 Premium Metal Protectant.
Manitowoc Crane Care has Boeshield® T-9 Premium Metal
Protectant available in 12 oz. cans that can be ordered
through the Parts Department.
Cylinder operation and inclement weather will remove the
Boeshield® protectant; therefore, inspect machines once a
week and reapply Boeshield® to unprotected rod.
WIRE ROPE LUBRICATION
Wire rope is lubricated during manufacturing so that the
strands, and individual wires in strands, may move as the
rope moves and bends. A wire rope cannot be lubricated
sufficiently during manufacture to last its entire life.
Therefore, new lubricant must be added periodically
throughout the life of a rope to replace factory lubricant which
is used or lost. For more detailed information concerning the
lubrication and inspection of wire rope, refer to WIRE ROPE
in Section 1- INTRODUCTION in the Service Manual.
