LUBRICATION 500E2 SERVICE MANUAL
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 will not harm the
fittings or components, 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.
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 in “Lubrication
Chart” on page 7-5. Lube description and symbols are found
in tables below.
DANGER
Do not, under any circumstances, work at an elevated
height without using proper fall protection as required by
local, state or federal regulations.
CAUTION
Lubrication intervals 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.
