SAFETY INFORMATION

for leaks. Wear gloves to protect your hands from
spraying fluid.
•
If any hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, obtain
medical attention immediately or gangrene may result.
•
Do not attempt to repair or tighten any hydraulic hose or
fitting while the engine is running, or when the hydraulic
system is under pressure.
•
Never disconnect any hydraulic lines unless the boom is
fully lowered, the engine is shut off, and the hydraulic
pressure is relieved. To relieve hydraulic pressure, stop
the engine, turn the ignition switch to RUN and move the
hydraulic controls in both directions several times.
•
Hot hydraulic fluid will cause severe burns. Wait for the
fluid to cool before disconnecting any hydraulic lines.
•
Hydraulic fluid can cause permanent eye injury. Wear
appropriate eye protection.
Moving Parts
•
Do not place limbs near moving parts. Amputation of a
body part may result. Turn off the engine and wait until
the fan and belts stop moving before servicing crane.
•
Pinch points, which result from relative motion between
mechanical parts, are areas of the machine that can
cause personal injury or death. Do not place limbs or
your body in contact with pinch points either on or
around the machine. Care must be taken to prevent
motion between pinch points when performing
maintenance and to avoid such areas when movement
is possible.
•
Do not allow persons to stand near extending or
lowering outriggers. Foot crushing could occur
Before maintenance or repairs
Before performing any maintenance, service or repairs on
the crane:
•
The boom should be fully retracted and lowered and the
load placed on the ground.
•
Do not get under a raised boom unless the boom is
blocked up safely. Always block up the boom before
doing any servicing that requires the boom to be raised.
•
Stop the engine and disconnect the battery.
•
Controls should be properly tagged. Never operate the
crane if it is
tagged-out
nor attempt to do so until it is
restored to proper operating condition and all tags have
been removed by the person(s) who installed them.
After maintenance or repairs
•
Replace all guards and covers that have been removed.
•
Remove all tags, connect the battery, and perform a
function check of all operating controls.
•
Consult with Manitowoc Crane Care to determine if load
testing is required after a structural repair is performed.
Lubrication
T h e c r a n e m u s t b e l u b r i c a t e d a c c o r d i n g t o t h e
manufacturer’s recommendations for lubrication points, time
intervals, and types. Lubricate at more frequent intervals
when working under severe conditions.
Exercise care when servicing the hydraulic system of the
crane, as pressurized hydraulic oil can cause serious injury.
The following precautions must be taken when servicing the
hydraulic system:
•
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when
adding oil to the system. Mixing the wrong fluids could
destroy seals, causing component failure.
•
Be certain all lines, components, and fittings are tight
before resuming operation.
Tires
Inspect the tires for nicks, cuts, embedded material, and
abnormal wear.
Make sure that all lug nuts are properly torqued.
Make sure that pneumatic tires are inflated to the proper
pressure (refer to the
Load Chart
). When inflating tires, use a
tire gauge, clip-on inflator, and extension hose which will
permit standing clear of the tire while inflating.
WARNING
Pressurized Fluid Hazard!
Hydraulic pressure may still be present in portions of the
hydraulic system due to accumulators or trapped circuitry.
WARNING
Possible equipment damage and/or
personal injury!
Driving the crane with a tire and split-rim assembly under
inflated at 80% or less of its recommended pressure can
cause the wheel and/or tire to fail. Per
OSHA Standard
1910.177(f)(2)
, when a tire has been driven under inflated
at 80% or less of its recommended pressure, it must first
be completely deflated, removed from the axle,
disassembled, and inspected before re-inflation.
