Hydraulic Oil Reservoir Level
The hydraulic oil reservoir has a sight gauge (1,Figure 5-6)
located on the side of the reservoir. The oil in the hydraulic
reservoir is sufficient when the level is between the High and
Low marks on the sight gauge with the crane parked on a
level surface in the transport position and the oil cold.
If the oil level is to low, add the recommended hydraulic oil
until the oil level is even with the upper mark. If the oil level is
high, drain oil until the oil level is even with the upper mark.
Surface Protection for Cylinder Rods
Steel cylinder rods include a thin layer of chrome plating on
their surfaces to protect them from corroding. However,
chrome plating inherently has cracks in its structure which
can allow moisture to corrode the underlying steel. At typical
ambient temperatures, hydraulic oil is too thick to penetrate
these cracks. Normal machine operating temperatures will
allow hydraulic oil to warm sufficiently to penetrate these
cracks and if machines are operated daily, protect the rods.
Machines that are stored, transported, or used in a corrosive
environment (high moisture, rain, snow, or coastline
conditions) need to have the exposed rods protected more
frequently by applying a protectant. Unless the machine is
operated daily, exposed rod surfaces will corrode. Some
cylinders will have rods exposed even when completely
retracted. Assume all cylinders have exposed rods, as
corrosion on the end of the rod can ruin the cylinder.
It is recommended that all exposed cylinder rods be
protected using Boeshield
®
T-9 Premium Metal Protectant.
Manitowoc Crane Care has Boeshield T-9 Premium Metal
Protectant available in 12 oz. cans that can be ordered
through the Parts Department.
NOTE:
Cylinder operation and inclement weather will
remove t he Boes hield protec tant. Inspec t
machines once a week and reapply Boeshield to
unprotected rods.
WIRE ROPE LUBRICATION
Wire rope is lubricated during manufacture and the lubricant
applied does not last the life of the rope. The wire rope must
be lubricated as part of a regularly scheduled maintenance
program. The lubricant applied must be compatible with the
original lubricant and not hinder visual inspection of the rope.
Consult the rope manufacturer for proper lubricant. The
sections of rope which are located over sheaves or
otherwise hidden during inspection and maintenance
procedures require special attention.
The object of rope lubrication is to reduce internal friction and
to prevent corrosion. The type and amount of lubrication
applied during manufacture depends on the rope size, type,
and anticipated use. This lubrication provides the finished
rope with protection for a reasonable time if the rope is
stored under proper conditions. When the rope is put into
service, periodic applications of a suitable rope lubricant are
necessary. Characteristics of a good wire rope lubricant are
that it should be:
•
free from acids and alkalis.
•
have sufficient adhesive strength to remain on the rope.
•
of a viscosity capable of penetrating the interstices
between wires and strands.
•
not be soluble in the medium surrounding it under the
actual operating conditions (example: Water).
