MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
To assure a long life to the crane, it is necessary to meticulously follow the
instructions.
General lubrication and small repairs can be carried out by the user; repairs of
a more complicated nature must be carried out by authorized service
personnel.
Spare parts must be original.
At least once a year you must take the crane to a Fassi Service Center for a
check.
Good maintenance and proper use are imperative to maintain efficient use
and guarantee the safety of the crane.
(!)
Before disconnecting any hydraulic hoses, ensure that there is no pressure
in the hydraulic circuit. After removing hoses always mark them and their
respective ports on the crane. Faulty replacement can cause damage to
the rams and to the hydraulic circuit.
Respect the information supplied for maintenance and technical assistance.
Any maintenance operation must be carried out with the crane power
source turned off. (in case of fixed mounting with hydraulic power pack, the
electric motor has to be turned off).
Do not place limbs, fingers or any other parts of anatomy into areas of the
crane, which present possibilities of shearing, without having blocked such
parts of the crane.
Do not weld, drill or grind any part of
the crane without the Manufacturer’s
authorisation.
Do not weld the fixing rods of the crane
(see plate DE1574 fig. 36).
When repairs to, or checks of, the
hydraulic circuit and of the rams are
carried out, it is very important not to
use, or be in the proximity of, materials which can damage the circuit or
contaminate the hydraulic oil eg. metal shavings, sand or dust.
Never use detergents, petrolsol or inflammable liquids, always use non
flammable or non toxic liquids.
Do not use the high pressure washing on the controls (deviators, distributors,
double controls, hand cable controls...), on the electronic components
(boxes, control panels...), on the tanks.
To avoid down time, it is recommended to periodically carry out the fol-
lowing checks.
Check that all safety devices are efficient.
Check the level of the hydraulic oil in the tank.
Check the hoses fittings and all the components of the hydraulic circuit for
possible leaks.
Check that the oil diverter levers can easily be positioned and that the multifunc-
tion control levers of the crane operate freely and return to neutral position.
Check that the control levers of the crane can easily be positioned (distributor,
double controls and hand-cables) operate freely and return to neutral position.
Check the condition of shackles, hooks, wire ropes and any other lifting equipment.
