2.4 BREAK-IN OPERATION
Perform break-in for the period of about the first “250 hours” (hours displayed on the
service meter).
The service life of the machine shortens if heavy loads are applied to the operation or
the engine before the break-in period for each section of the machine elapses.
While this machine is shipped after thorough adjustment and inspection, immediate difficult
tasks will quickly degrade the functions and shorten the life of the engine and crane.
Perform break-in for the first “250 hours” (time displayed on the service meter).
Pay attention particularly to the following during the break-in period.
• Be sure to perform the warm-up operation and avoid idling away after the engine has started.
See “OPERATION 2.3 OPERATIONS AND CHECKS AFTER STARTING ENGINE”.
• Avoid overloaded operation or tasks with high-speed operation.
• Avoid sudden starting, sudden acceleration, unnecessary sudden stop or sudden steering.
• The metal powder produced inside the engine through break-in increases in the engine oil and
it deteriorates the oil, shortening the engine life.
2.5 MACHINE TRAVELLING POSTURE
• In principle, when you transport the machine on its own, the machine must retain a
“travelling posture,” with its boom, hook block, and outriggers stowed.
• In cases where the machine is travelling with a suspended load, refer to “OPERATION
2.26 PICK&CARRY OPERATION”.
This will overturn the machine, causing serious injury and accidents.
• Do not use this machine for any other purpose except the main purpose such as using
it for carrying the load on the machine.
In principle, the machine must retain the travelling posture
shown on the right when it is transported.
