2. Tighten all battery hardware to keep the battery securely

the battery.

Clean the Radiator
NOTE: To prevent personal injury, always wear safety
glasses when using compressed air.
Clean the radiator fins by using compressed air or a water
hose to remove all foreign materials. If these materials are
not removed, the engine may over heat due to blocked air
through the radiator fins and core.
Lubricate the Wire Rope
Apply lubricant to the hoist wire rope to prevent rust,
corrosion and wear.
1. Unwind the wire rope from the hoist drum.
2. Thoroughly clean the wire rope prior to application of
any lubricant. Use a wire brush and compressed air to
remove all foreign matter and old lubricant.
NOTE: To prevent personal injury from compressed air,
always wear safety glasses when using
compressed air for cleaning.
3. After cleaning the wire rope, apply a good grade of wire
rope lubricant, to the entire length of the wire rope. Or,
apply a light weight oil that has been preheated to a
temperature between 18° to 36°C (60° and 100°F). Use
a brush or cloth to apply the oil.
NOTE: Be sure the lubricant enters the strands of the wire
rope for proper lubrication. Do not use grease to
lubricate the wire rope.
Lubricate the Swing Gear and Pinion
1. Engage the parking brake and shut off the engine.
2. Remove the guard covering the swing pinion.
Rotating gears can cause injury. Keep hands clear of rotating
pinion and gear while the mast is rotating.

swing gear teeth (Figure 6-26).
4. Start the engine and rotate the mast until a non-
lubricated portion of the swing gear is exposed. Keep
hands away from rotating pinion and gear.
5. Shut off the engine.
6. Using a brush, apply open gear lube to the swing gear
teeth.
7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until the complete swing gear is
lubricated.
Use a brush
