Boom Lubrication
Crane Setup
• Machine to be set up on firm level surface with fully
extended outriggers and a minimum of 22,000 lbs
counterweight installed. Make sure that the crane is
level.
• Boom must be directly over the front and the house lock
engaged.
• Set boom angle at zero degrees.
Greaseless Boom
The operator should make sure that each of the telescoping
boom sections are clean during operation. Any dirt that is on
the painted boom sections can get stuck in the wear pads,
and this will lead to scoring of the paint. Eventually, the
telescoping of a section with damaged paint will become
more difficult to complete as the paint damage becomes
more severe. Each of the telescoping boom sections should
be cleaned and wiped down with a non-solvent cleaning
agent at least once a month or as required.
The operator has the option to grease the boom if they so
choose. All of the grease fittings still exist in the boom.
However, from that point forward, the boom will always need
to be greased on a typical interval.
