2. Tighten all battery hardware to keep the battery securely
in place.
3. Disconnect the battery cables.
4. Sprinkle the battery with baking soda to neutralize the
acid. Rinse with water. Be careful not to get water inside
the battery.
5. Coat the battery posts with petroleum jelly and reinstall
the battery cables.
6. Install the battery box cover.
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 inhibit 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° to 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.
3. Using a brush, apply open gear lube to the pinion and
swing gear teeth (Figure 5-28).
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. Apply Ceplattyn spray lube to the swing gear teeth.
7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until the complete swing gear is
lubricated.
Spray
lubricant on
gear teeth.
