LOCKING PINS
It is important that the boom locking pins
are used when the machine is
transported. Never transport a machine
if the pin is missing. The fixing clips fitted
on current (2002) machines have been
provided to prevent paint damage by the
pin hitting the structure during use.
When towing, insert pin and lock in place
with the “R” clip provided. During
inspection look for indication of the
machine being moved without the pin.
Good tell tale signs are dents in the top
boom and crack lines below the vertical
boom. Contact UpRight or its local agent
on advice for repairs.
LOCKING PEG
Each shaft is secured with a locking peg as mentioned above. If you find
that a peg is broken or that the bolt and peg is missing then this can be a
sign that the shaft is seized due to lack of lubrication. If a seized shaft is
suspected, check that the x-drilling for the locking peg lines up with the bolt
hole for the locking peg securing bolt. Fit a new peg. Carefully operate the
boom to see if the shaft is trying to turn.
If a grease nipple is fitted, apply grease. If you suspect that the shaft is
seized it is recommended to drive the shaft 1/2 way out. Clean and apply
new grease. If the shaft is badly worn or scored, replace both shaft and the
bush.
Depending on which shaft is causing the problem, you may have to support
the structure to prevent jamming when extracting the shaft.
