SECTION III
MAINTENANCE
This section contains schedules, recommendations, and procedures designed to ensure
that the equipment is prepared for safe and efficient operation and to prolong the service
life of the equipment. These maintenance instructions constitute basic requirements for
an operational environment that is not extreme in temperature, humidity, airborne
abrasives, or other conditions which would require preventative maintenance techniques
to combat. The using organization is encouraged to determine preventative
maintenance requirements that are the result of environmental extremes.
Service Safety Precautions
1. Before performing maintenance or repair work on any equipment, consult the
manufacturer’s instruction manual and follow the recommended procedures.
2. When servicing or repairing the equipment, shut down the engine unless it is
required to be running for adjustment purposes.
3. Always use the proper tools for the job. Repair or replace any broken or damaged
tools, including lifting equipment immediately.
4. Keep your head, hands, feet, and loose clothing away from power-driven parts.
5. Pressure can be maintained in the hydraulic circuits long after the power source and
pump have been shut down. Relieve all trapped pressures before performing any
service work to the hydraulic components.
6. When troubleshooting a hydraulic system for leaks, use a piece of cardboard or other
material as detector rather than your hand. Pressurized hydraulic fluid escaping
from a faulty component can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.
7. Do not change the pressure setting of any hydraulic valves unless authorized
instruction has been obtained.
8. Ensure that all tire and rim parts are undamaged and correctly assembled before
inflating the tires.
9. Use an inflation cage, safety cables or some other safety device when inflating the
tires. Do not exceed the tire manufacturer’s recommended maximum pressure
10. Use caution when draining hot fluids from the machine. Splashing hot fluid can
cause serious burns.
11. Ensure that the equipment is blocked so that it cannot shift or move during servicing.
12. Install all applicable safety locks before working on a piece of equipment.
Disconnect electrical power before servicing electrical components.
Fire Prevention
Fires can create severe emergencies where both human life and property may be lost.
Even when confined, a fire may cause very expensive damage to your equipment. Fire
can strike at anytime, not only when the equipment is used, but also when lift unattended
between work shifts and nobody is around to fight it.
When working in a confined environment, it is impossible to prevent combustible dust
from collecting in tight corners of the machine. This dust, in itself, may not cause a fire;
however, when mixed with fuel, oil or grease in a hot a confined place, it can become a
fire hazard.
