MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
3. The connectors between battery and charger should
be sealed with silicone grease at each contact point.
NOTICE
Solidifying sealants can also be used to prevent
short circuits and help maintain cleanliness, but
they will make it more difficult to remove the pins
later on.
Lubrication
The relevant components should be lubricated at de-
fined intervals using the lubricant of the quantity, type
and grade as recommended in this manual. If the rec-
ommended lubricant is not available, contact your local
supplier who can help you obtaining the recommended
lubricant or a satisfactory alternative.
Battery
Clean the battery with a non-metallic brush and sodium
bicarbonate aqueous solution, then rinse it with clean
water. After cleaning, allow the battery to dry completely,
and apply anti-corrosion compound to the battery
terminals.
Pins and Composite Bearing
1. The connecting pins should be removed and in-
spected in case any of the following defects is
found:
• Excessively tilted joint
• Noise originating from the joint during operation.
2. The composite bearing should be replaced in any of
the following conditions:
• Frayed or separated fiber on the sleeve surface
• Cracked or damaged sleeve housing
• Bearing moved or rotated into the housing
• Debris embedded in the sleeve surface.
3. Replace the pivot pin if any of the following is de-
tected (properly clean the pivot pin before
inspection):
• Wear in the bearing area
• Flaking, pealing, scratches or abrasions on the
pivot pin surface
• Corroded pivot pin in the bearing area
4. Reassemble the connecting pin and composite
bearing
• Blow off the dirt and debris on the housing. Re-
move any foreign objects on the bearing and
housing.
• Clean the bearing and pivot pin with a cleaning
agent to remove all grease and oil. The compo-
site bearing uses dry coupling which does not re-
quire lubrication.
• During installation and operation, inspect the piv-
ot pin to ensure that there are no burrs, nicks or
abrasions that could damage the bearing.
4.3 MAJOR MODIFICATION AND
REPAIR
A major modification/repair is a modification/repair of
the entire machine or its components that affects the
stability, strength or performance of the machine.
Each major modification/repair to the machine by the
machine owner/company should be recorded using the
Major Modification/Repair Record in the attachment
to this manual. This record should be retained until the
machine is taken out of service or as required by the
machine owner/company.
Major modifications/repairs to the machine must be per-
formed by a qualified service technician. The machine
must be inspected and verified after major modifica-
tions/repairs, the inspection items include but are not
limited to all items in the Inspection and Preventive
Maintenance Schedule . Once inspection and verifica-
tion are complete the machine can be put back into
