Chapter 10 Maintenance
Maintenance
Note!
Have only qualified personnel carry out maintenance.
Maintenance and servicing recommendations in these operating instructions are of general nature and
apply to several PALFINGER products.
Maintenance has to be carried out after every 50 operating hours.
However, the maintenance intervals depend also on application, duty cycle and environmental
conditions. Road salt, sand, etc. are especially aggressive and speed up corrosion and wear.
Therefore maintenance may be required in even shorter intervals.
Maintenance and service may only be carried out while the unit is out of operation (hydraulic and
electric power turned off).
Correct order of maintenance tasks
1. Clean the unit thoroughly.
2. Visual inspection.
3. Lubricate the unit.
Before longer downtimes of the device
Before longer downtimes complete maintenance has to be carried out on the unit. All blank metal parts
must be protected using an anti-corrosion preservative (except the extension system, refer to ‘Device
lubrication’ in chapter 10). Retract all hydraulic cylinders completely.
After device downtimes (longer than 3 weeks)
After downtimes the device must be lubricated (refer to ‘Device lubrication’ in chapter 10).
