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 hydrau
-
lic 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.
