Genesis GHG Handling Grapple 33
Mounting Bolts
Visually check slewing ring (rotation bearing) bolts every eight hours of operation and replace
every 2000 hours. Do not reuse or re-torque these bolts. Immediately replace a loose or broken
bolt, and replace the bolts on either side of it. Apply Loctite to the bolt threads and under the bolt
head per Loctite instructions.
Bolt Torque
The bolts that secure the slewing ring are critical to safe operation of the attachment. Improper
bolt torques may cause the bolts to fail and allow the attachment to break free. This may result in
serious personal injury and damage to equipment. Improper torques will also cause uneven wear
on the slewing ring. See the Genesis Fastener Manual for proper bolt torque specifications.
Grease Slewing Ring
Rotating components must be greased daily.
Grease fittings are located on the outside of the
slewing ring and on the inside of the rotating
head assembly. Grease locations are marked
with decals.
Rotate After Greasing
Grease each slewing ring grease fitting with several strokes and rotate the attachment two full
rotations after greasing each fitting.
Grease Points
Grapple pins must be greased every 4 hours.
Grease Temperatures
For normal conditions above 32˚ F (0˚ C), use a lithium-based, premium grade 2 extreme pressure
grease. For temperatures below 32˚ F, a grade 0 grease is recommended.
