ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Dispose of waste properly!
Improperly disposing of waste
can threaten the environment.
Potentially harmful waste used in National Crane equipment
includes, but is not limited to, oil, fuel, grease, coolant, air
conditioning refrigerant, filters, batteries, and cloths which
have come into contact with these environmentally harmful
substances.
Handle and dispose of waste according to local, state, and
federal environmental regulations.
When filling and draining equipment components, observe
the following:
•
Do not pour waste fluids onto the ground, down any
drain, or into any source of water.
•
Always drain waste fluids into leak proof containers that
are clearly marked with what they contain.
•
Always fill or add fluids with a funnel or a filling pump.
•
Immediately clean up any spills.
MAINTENANCE
The equipment must be inspected prior to use on each work
shift. The owner, user, and operator must make sure that
routine maintenance and lubrication are being dutifully
performed.
Never
operate damaged or poorly maintained
equipment.
National Crane continues to recommend that equipment be
properly maintained, regularly inspected and repaired, as
necessary. National Crane reminds equipment owners to
make sure that all safety decals are in place and legible.
National Crane continues to urge equipment owners to
upgrade their equipment with a Rated Capacity Limiter
(RCL) and control lever lockout systems for all lifting
operations.
Shut down the equipment while making repairs or
adjustments.
Always perform a function check after repairs have been
made to ensure proper operation. Load tests should be
performed when structural or lifting members are involved.
Follow all applicable safety precautions in this manual when
performing equipment maintenance, as well as equipment
operations.
Keep the equipment free of mud, dirt, and grease at all times.
Dirty equipment introduces hazards, wears-out faster, and
makes proper maintenance difficult. Cleaning solutions used
should be non-flammable, non-toxic and appropriate for
the job.
Routine maintenance and inspection of the equipment must
be performed by a qualified person(s) according to the
recommendations in the
Inspection and Lubrication Service
Log.
Any questions regarding procedures and specifications
should be directed to your National Crane distributor.
Service and Repairs
Service and repairs to the equipment must only be
performed by a qualified person. All service and repairs must
b e p e r f o r m e d i n a c c o r d a n c e w i t h m a n u f a c t u r e r ’s
recommendations, this manual, and the service manual for
this machine. If there is any question regarding maintenance
procedures or specifications, contact your National Crane
distributor for assistance.
Qualified person
is defined as one who by reason of
knowledge, training and experience is thoroughly familiar
with the equipment operation and required maintenance as
well as the hazards involved in performing these tasks.
Training and qualification of maintenance and repair
personnel are equipment owner’s responsibility.
All replacement parts must be National Crane approved.
Any modification, alteration, or change to equipment which
affects its original design and is not authorized and approved
by National Crane is
strictly prohibited
. Such action
invalidates all warranties and makes the owner/user liable
for any resultant accidents.
WARNING
Fall Hazard!
Working at elevated heights without using proper fall
protection can result in severe injury or death.
Always use proper fall protection as required by local,
state or federal regulations.
