INTRODUCTION
NOTE: Do not use gasoline or other flammable fluids to
clean component parts. Fire or explosion may
occur causing bodily burns.
Use eye protection when performing service or
maintenance tasks. Propelled and/or dropped
items can cause eye injury.
If maintenance or adjustments must be performed
with the engine running, have a person at the
controls while another person performs the work to
inhibit accidental movement which could cause
injury or death.
Preventive maintenance is necessary to keep the crane in
good condition as long as possible. Adjust the maintenance
schedule to your operation, according to the type of work,
size of loads, temperature conditions and frequency of
equipment use.
The intervals in the Maintenance Schedule are for average
operating conditions, and must be understood as the
MINIMUM maintenance necessary for the machine.
Decrease these intervals if the machine is operated in
conditions that are below average (for example, in dust, in
high or low temperatures, with heavy loads or frequent
starting and stopping.
Use the hourmeter and a calendar to make sure that all
necessary maintenance is done according to the schedule.
NOTE: When performing service on the crane, put a tag on
the key switch or remove the key to prevent
operation of the crane.
Spark Arresting Mufflers
NOTE: Codes of some states or provinces may require
that this crane be equipped with a SPARK
ARRESTING MUFFLER. The State of California,
as an example, is one state which has such
regulations for agricultural and forestry application,
plus a regulation for construction applications in
forest covered, brush covered, or grass covered
lands.
