BOOM CHAIN LUBRICATION
Put the crane on outriggers before beginning. The machine may tip in other configurations. Ex-
tend the boom fully and lower to horizontal. Turn off the engine. Using appropriate ladders or
steps, lubricate inner chains and chain sheaves through windows. There are grease fittings on
chain sheave shafts both inside and outside the boom. Reach in through boom windows with a
long tipped oil can and spray chains generously, and grease sheave fittings. Do not attempt to
grease chain shafts or oil chains inside boom with engine running, as boom may move while
your hands are inside.
