This table is only a reference, it is under the maintenance technician’s judgement to check the different
parts of the crane. It will also depend on how many times the crane work during this period of time.
The situations where the crane had been exposed to humid/wet environments such as rain, high
humidity areas, rain effect shootings, shooting near water areas such rivers or sea, etc. requires
following the next steps:
• General drying of all the components of the crane. Open the carbon fiber covers to be able
to reach the inside parts of the arm.
• Cleaning of all the mechanical components for the telescopic arm using a degreaser and a
rag, mainly the wheel guides, the steel wheels, and any other component subject to friction.
• In case of salty environments such as beaches or long periods near the sea, all the procedure
must be done deeply and previously washed with fresh water the non-electrical components.
• Lubricate the aluminum wheels in case the existing lubricant is dirty or inexistent.
• Open the covers for the electronic box and the leveling head to let dry the possible moisture
inside these components.
• Clean the electronic connectors with contact cleaner, let it dry before connecting the crane.
The situation in which the crane was exposed to environments with suspended particles, such as
deserts, beaches, mountainous areas or places with special effects (paper, glitter, environmental
smoke, etc...), the procedure and the steps to follow are:
• Expulsion/blowing all the particles with compressed air after opening all the covers.
• Cleaning of all the mechanical components, mainly the areas of contact between wheels and
the guides with degreaser.
• In case of salty environments such as beaches or long periods near the sea, all the procedure
must be done deeply and previously washed with fresh water.
• Lubricate the aluminum wheels in case the existing lubricant is dirty or inexistent.
