3.5 INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCES DURING BREAK-IN PERIOD
A. Do these inspection and maintenance tasks after 200 hours of lift operations.
• Examine the hoist and swing mechanism gear meshing. Replace the
grease and clean the case.
• Drain and flush the hydraulic tank. Replace the filter element and
hydraulic oil.
You can use the hydraulic oil again if it is correctly filtered before you put it
back into the system.
• Clean the dust, dirt and collected oil from each part of the crane. Examine
the assemblies for leaks of oil, water, air and electricity. Make the repairs
as necessary.
• Make sure that all the hardware on the crane is tight.
• Make sure that all safety devices are set correctly in position.
• Do an inspection (semi-annually) of all the slider pads. If they show
unusual wear, replace them.
B. If you operate the crane in an area that has wide weather changes (usually
cold or hot temperatures), make sure that you do the servicing of the items that
follow:
• Change the lubricant in the engine, transmission, steering gear, winch
reducer and swing reducer.
• Drain and flush the cooling system.
• Examine and adjust the level of electrolyte (battery acid) in the batteries.
