Feb/2013 Maintenance and Service
The engine oil add or change interval (in your preventive maintenance
schedule) cannot be more than the interval you find in the diesel engine
maintenance specifications in the Engine Manufacturer’s Manual.
When you add or change grease, you must clean the grease off and
around the plug (grease nipple) and check for leaks.
B. Monthly Lubrication
(1) Do a check of the level of oil in the transmission.
(a) You can find the transmission oil change interval in Section 1.6. If
you do work in harsh conditions, you can decrease the interval
between oil changes.
(b) The oil changes can become more frequent if the crane operates in
rough conditions.
(2) Do a check of the gear oil level in the front and rear axles. Refer to Figure
1-11.
