MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning
1. To extend the service life of the machine it is crucial
to prevent dirt or impurities from entering critical
components of the machine. A number of protective
measures have been taken to prevent such ingress.
Protective plates, covers, seals, and filters are in-
stalled to keep intake air, fuel and oil clean. Such
protective devices must be serviced/maintained at
prescribed intervals to ensure their proper function.
2. When air, fuel, or oil lines are disconnected, their
adjacent areas, openings and fittings should be
cleaned. Openings should be covered immediately
to prevent foreign objects from entering.
3. During repair or maintenance, all components
should be cleaned and inspected, make sure all
pipes/tubes and openings are unobstructed. Cover
all parts to keep them clean. All parts must be clean
before installation. New parts should be stored in
containers before use.
Components Disassembly and
Installation
1. A safe and appropriate plan for the installation of
machine components should be developed based
on this manual, taking the site conditions into
account.
2. Personnel carrying out disassembly and installation
work must be appropriately qualified and must be
able to use safety equipment correctly.
3. Before carrying out installation work, qualified per-
sonnel should inspect the ground, concealed foun-
dations and anchors, or review reliable
documentation verifying that the manufacturer's re-
quirements are met.
4. Wind speed at the installation site must not exceed
8.3 m/s (18.6 mph).
5. Before installation, check the site conditions such
as power supply and ground conditions to make
sure the installation requirements are met.
6. All components should be inspected prior to installa-
tion to verify they are in good condition.
7. High-strength bolts should be tightened in strict ac-
cordance with the requirements of this manual.
8. Requirements for the acceptance of onsite machine
installation work:
1) Relevant inspections and functional tests
should be carried out to confirm that the compo-
nents have been installed correctly, that specific
functional requirements are met and that all
safety devices are operating properly.
2) Static and dynamic load tests should follow and
comply with the relevant standards.
3) Before putting the machine into service, a quali-
fied person shall issue a handover certificate
confirming the integrity of the machine. All test/
inspection results should be recorded and an in-
spection report should be prepared (including
the inspector’s name, title, company, and in-
spection date).
9. Disassembly work should meet the same safety re-
quirements as installation work.
10. If lifting tools are required to dis-assemble the ma-
chine, use the correct lifting points, lifting equipment
and additional tools. Only use tested and certified
tools and equipment.
11. If the lifting gear strands have to be attached at an
angle of less than 90° when lifting a component ex-
ercise special caution since the eye bolt or similar
bracket cannot provide adequate lateral support.
12. If components are difficult to be removed check that
all nuts, bolts, cables, brackets, wiring, etc. have
been removed, and that adjacent components are
not obstructing the removal.
Components Disassembly and
Reassembly
When disassembling or reassembling components, fol-
low the steps one by one. If assembly/disassembly of a
certain component has not been completed, do not pro-
ceed with another component. Always check the disas-
sembly/assembly operation to make sure nothing is
missing. No adjustments (unless recommended) may
be made without prior approval.
Storage
Please follow the recommendations below to ensure
best performance of the cylinders and to avoid corrosion
during long-term storage (indoor/outdoor):
• The machine should be stored in stowed position
with the wheels aligned.
• Fully raise and lower the platform, and steer left and
right to the full steering angle twice a week in order
to keep the respective cylinder components
lubricated.
Disposal of Structural Components
• Major structural components that no longer meet the
requirements for safe use due to corrosion, wear or
other reasons should be repaired, reinforced, or re-
placed and discarded.
• Load-bearing structural components that are perma-
nently deformed and cannot be repaired must be re-
placed and discarded.
