8 HOURS - During the first 185 miles (300 km) of travel or after a tire is changed,
make sure that the wheel nuts are tight.
40 HOURS - Make sure that the swing bearing bolts are tight. If you tighten some of
the bolts, do this inspection after one more 40 hour period. When you do
a 40 hour inspection and do not find bolts that are loose, change the
inspection period to semi-annual.
80 HOURS - After 80 hours of travel, replace the transmission fluid.
100 HOURS - Replace the oil in the winches.
Keep all contamination (grease, oils, fuel, mud, snow, ice) off the handles,
steps, walkways and platforms.
Replace the grit type anti-slip surfaces when they start to show wear.
3.3 PERIODIC INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE
A. Periodic Inspections – Chassis
Examine the vehicle in regular intervals to prolong its life and increase the
safety and comfort of its operation.
The components in the table below are for cranes that operate in areas with no
dirt for 250 hours per month in temperatures between 14° F and 95° F (-10° C
and 35° C). When you use the crane in harsh conditions (coastal, desert, cold
regions), increase the inspections and decrease the maintenance intervals.
