Maintenance
Grease / Oil Build-Up - Remove
Wipe all fittings, caps, and plugs before servicing.
Keep a close watch for leaks. If leaking is observed, find the
source, and correct the leak.
Check the fluid levels more frequently than the recom mend-
ed periods if leaking is suspected or ob served, until the
problem is corrected.
Jackshaft Bearings - Lubricate the Fittings
Lubricate the two fittings (2) (one on each jackshaft bearing)
3-4 pumps. Note: cover can be removed to ensure bearings
are adequately greased.
Wheel Hub Bearings - Inspect & Grease
The wheel bearings on the ma chine are sealed and generally
do not require service. They are, however, greasable. Locate
the zerk on the inside of the wheel assembly. Apply 3-4
pumps of grease.
If abnormal wear or other damage seems present, replace
bearings immediately. Worn or frozen bearings can damage
the drive components
Slewing Ring
Lubricate 3-4 shots of grease into the grease fitting
on the slewing ring (3) (located under the boom asm).
There is a zerk on either side of the slewing ring.
Note: Dried grease can plug holes, if grease does not ooze
out of holes, use very small drill bit to loosen dried grease
/ debris, to ensure grease has been applied properly.
2) Swing-Out Arm Bushing
Lubricate 3-4 shots of grease into the grease fitting on
SOA bushing (4).
3) Pivot Bushing
Lubricate 3-4 shots of grease on the bearing housing (5) at
pivoting end of the boom.
Shoot grease in slowly, and carefully prevent
damage to the bearing seals. Use extra caution
when using a high pressure or high volume
grease gun.
