LUBRICATION 1300A
8-4 01-22-2019 Control # 051-08
The following describe the lubrication points and gives the
lube type, lube interval, lube amount, and application of
each. Each lubrication point is numbered, and this number
corresponds to the index number shown on the Lubrication
Chart (Figure 8-1). Lube description and symbols are found
in the table below.
LUBRICATION POINTS
A regular frequency of lubrication must be established based
on component operating time. The most efficient method of
keeping track of lube requirements is to maintain a job log of
crane usage.
All oil levels are to be checked with the crane parked on a
level surface in transport position, and while the oil is cold,
unless otherwise specified. On plug type check points, the oil
levels are to be at the bottom edge of the fill port.
Over lubrication of non-sealed fittings does no harm, but
under lubrication shortens lifetime. Worn grease fittings that
do not hold a grease gun, or those that have a stuck check
ball, must be replaced.
When wear pads or rotation bearings are lubricated, cycle
the components and lubricate again to ensure complete
lubrication of the entire wear area.

NOTE: Cold weather lubricants are not sufficient for temperatures below 40° C (-40° F). Use hydraulic tank heaters and
insulate where appropriate.
CAUTION
Lubrication intervals (4) are to be used only as a guide.
Actual intervals should be formulated by the operator to
correspond accordingly to conditions such as continuous
duty cycles and/or hazardous environments.
