CHANGING THE PUMP DRIVE OIL
Gear Oil Specifications
For gear oil specifications and gearbox capacities, see the
lubrication guide supplied with the crane.
Oil Analysis
An oil analysis program is the best way to determine the best
oil change interval and the condition of the pump drive.
Periodic Maintenance
Daily
Check the oil level in the pump drive every 8 hours of
operation or daily, whichever occurs first.
Using a suitable funnel, add oil through the fill plug opening
so the oil is at the full mark on the dipstick (3). Do not overfill.
Initial Operation
Drain and refill the pump drive after the first 200 hours of
operation.
Every 6 Months or 1,000 Hours
Drain and refill the pump drive every 1,000 hours of
operation or every 6 months, whichever occurs first, unless
an alternate interval has been established through an oil
analysis program.
Quick-Drain Valve
The pump drive has a quick-drain valve (4) that requires use
of the quick-drain drainer assembly (see Figure 7-14
). The
quick-drain drainer assembly is stored in the parts box
supplied with the crane.
