5540F/YB5515 SERVICE MANUAL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The safety element must be replaced after two
main element replacements.
7. Install the new element over the stud in the housing and
slide it all the way in.
8. Make sure the gasket is seating evenly. If you don’t feel
the gasket is seating evenly for a perfect seal, you won’t
have protection. Recheck to see if the sealing surface in
the housing is clean, or if the element is not the right
model number. If may be too short for the housing.
9. Install the air cleaner housing cover and the wing nut.
Only hand tighten the wing nut.
10. Reset the air cleaner restriction indicator by pushing in
the reset button (Figure 5-33).
Spark Plug Gap (Gasoline Engine)
Thoroughly clean the spark plugs, including the threads.
Check the electrode gap with a 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) feeler
gauge. If not correct, reset the gap.
Add Rust Inhibitor to Engine Cooling System
For maximum protection of the engine cooling system, add a
corrosive inhibitor to the radiator. When the engine is cold,
remove the radiator cap and pour the inhibitor in the radiator
reservoir, following manufacturer’s instructions.
Lubricate the Outrigger Slides
1. Lower the outriggers.
2. Clean the tops of the outriggers with a suitable solvent.
3. Apply Mobil EP grease, or equivalent, to the areas
shown in Figure 5-34. Do not over lubricate. Raise and
lower the outriggers several times to spread the grease.
Add Grease to the Swing Gearbox
NOTE: It is necessary to climb under the crane to add
grease to the swing gearbox. Be sure engine is
shut off, the ignition key is removed and chock
blocks are in place before climbing under the
crane.
The grease fitting for adding grease to the swing gearbox
can only be reached from under the crane. It will be
necessary to use a light to see the fitting.
