SLEWING RING MAINTENANCE
!
DANGER
Stand clear when the attachment is being rotated. Always
stay in clear view of the operator.
Visually check slewing ring (rotation bearing) bolts every eight hours of operation. Do not reuse or
re-torque these bolts. Loose or broken bolts, along with the bolts on either side, must be
immediately replaced.
The bolts that secure the slewing ring are critical for safe attachment operation. Improper torque
may cause the bolts to fail and the attachment to break free, which may result in serious personal
injury and equipment damage. Improper torque will also cause uneven slewing ring wear.
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.
Grease each fitting and then rotate the attachment
two full rotations.
For normal conditions above 32˚F (0˚C), use a
lithium-based, premium grade 2 extreme-pressure
grease. For temperatures below 32˚F, use a grade 0
grease.
Do not use grease containing
Molybdenum (Moly).
Genesis GLG-2™ anti-wear, extreme-pressure
lithium grease, PN 6302601, is recommended for all temperature conditions.
