Maintenance

Periodic inspection for the general condition of structural and mechanical components is imperative for safe and efficient 

operation.

Periodically inspect all moving parts, framework, and contact areas for signs of wear, fatigue, or loosening.  Tighten, adjust, 

or replace parts as necessary to prevent failure and maintain proper function.

Inspect the hydraulic system for oil drips, hose damage, or other signs of wear.  Inspect the level and condition of the hydraulic 

fluid.  Replace any parts that show signs of wear.

Grease wheel bearings periodically. Oil or grease all moving parts including: the three clevis pins and the surfaces of the boom 

which contact the inside of the mast cap, the hinge pin, the gears and sprockets in the tilt drive, and the ratchet and pawl.

Worn or damaged parts must be properly replaced with the correct, genuine Morse parts.

Hydraulic pump is shipped filled with Noco Premium plus automatic transmission fluid d/m. Material safety data sheet 
(msds) is available online. Change oil yearly, sooner depending on dirty conditions or outdoor use.

 

Replace oil with Mobil 

dte 24 or equivalent for indoor use (Mobil dte 13 for outdoor use).
