Greasing [NOTICE]

◆ Using different brands of lubrication grease together can change the properties of the grease and have an adverse effect on the machine. When grease is added, use the same brand that is already in the machine.

If a different brand of grease must be used, remove all remaining grease before adding the new grease.

◆ Dust and especially debris particles in the grease causes premature wear of sliding surfaces, and consequently, shortens the life of the lubricated machinery. Always clean grease nipples and other surfaces which require lubrication before applying grease.

The wire ropes should be cleaned before they are greased.

Maintenance Table

◆ Lubricating wire ropes with an improper gear oil, cup grease or waste oil only shortens their life. Use rope grease or other grease that has properties suitable for wire ropes.

◆ In addition to the areas listed in the "Maintenance Table", the following areas should also be lubricated with grease to protect them from rusting and ensure smooth movement.

• Hydraulic cylinder rod portions (boom elevating cylinder, jack cylinder, etc.) that are exposed to air when the cylinder is in a fully retracted position

• Links and sliding sections that were coated with grease before shipment from the factory
