4 Lubrication and Maintenance Schedule

4.1 Initial Lubrication and Maintenance

Lubrication and maintenance work which is due after the first

operation and before regular work, is marked with ”1X” on the
maintenance list.
The work must be undertaken once at the time specified.

4.2 Regular Routine Lubrication and Maintenance

Regular routine lubrication and maintenance work is identified by

”X” on the maintenance schedule.
The work must be undertaken once at the interval specified and
then regularly repeated at this interval.
A ”X” in the column entitled 250 operating hours thus means that
the corresponding work must be undertaken every 250 opera-
tinghours, i.e. after 250, 500, 750 operating hours, etc.

The following details on maintenance intervals are applicable to-

cranes which are subject to normal operating and environmental
influences. For certain applications, the maintenance intervals-
must be adapted according to the operating conditions.

Formore infrequent maintenance work, e.g. ”Every 1000 opera-

tinghours”, all those maintenance tasks which are required ats-
horter intervals and which coincide with this time must of cour-
sealso be undertaken.

This means that for the above example, the maintenance task-
soccurring ”Every 500 operating hours” and those required ate-
ven shorter intervals must also be undertaken.

4.3 Multi-- Function Display

(Z 163 243)

Confirm the service interval display (SIA)

The service interval display (SIA) indicates a set service interval.

After every 250 engine operating hours

− ”SIA” appears in the display
− all light--emitting diodes (LED) flash

Press any key in the keypad and the master instrument will be re-
set in the normal operating condition.

Every time the ignition is switched on, a confirmed ”SIA” message

is appears again for approx. 5 seconds on the display.

Reset the service interval display (SIA)

Once the lubrication and service work has been completed, the
SIA can be reset while the vehicle is at a standstill.
− Switch off the ignition.
− Press buttons 7 and 8 at the same time, and hold this down.
− Switch on the ignition.
− Wait for the self--test to be completed
− Releas buttons 7 and 8
− The display shows ”SIA 0”

The service interval has now been reset.

4.4 Tips for Maintaining the Crane

The purpose of maintaining the crane is to:

− safeguard operational reliability
− maintain efficiency
− prevent downtimes
− maintain the crane’s value
− reduce repair costs

4.5 Measures to Maintain the Crane

1. Inspections of the Condition

Inspections of the condition are visual inspections undertaken by

the crane operator at regular intervals in accordance with the lu-
brication and maintenance schedule.

For example:
− Checking oil levels and oil grade
− Checking displays and monitors
− Checking the functioning and clogging of the tank and fil-
tersystems
− Checking the tubing systems for leaks and damage
− Checking bearings for adequate lubrication and abnormal-
bearing clearance
− Checking the drive mounts (transmission, motors, valves)
− Checking the ropes for lubrication, dirt and wear

As a result of these regular visual inspections, damage can often

be recognised and eliminated in good time.
This means downtimes are prevented during crane operation.

2. Preventative maintenance

Preventative maintenance includes measures which may be un-

dertaken within the framework of an ”inspection of the condi-
tionof the crane”.
The inspection of the condition thus serves to recognise and eli-
minate any wear, damage or defects in good time.
In this way, operational downtimes and repairs can be prevented
during crane operation.

The tasks involved in the inspection of the condition include vi-

sual and performance inspections of the superstructure and un-
dercarriage assemblies and a comparison of the desired and ac-
tualvalues of all measurable quantities.
These tasks must be undertaken by an appropriately trained
specialist.

Various measures are thus required.

For example:
− Checking the safety devices
− Comparing the desired/actual values in the hydraulic and
electrical system.
− Checking the hydraulic and electrical systemis functioning
correctly.
− Checking the nitrogen boost pressure of the accumulator
fitted.
− Analysis of the grade of the hydraulic and transmission oil.
− Checking the individual drives for noises and vibrations.
− Checking the bearings for damage and wear.
− Checking the crane equipment for damage and wear.
− Checking the ropes for damage and wear.

The exact visual and performance inspections and their corres-

ponding results are listed in the ”crane inspection sheet “.

A log is created for this inspection of the condition. This inspec-

tion log then forms the basis for any repair measures which may
be required.

Of importance to the success of any such measures is their

correct implementation, their regular repetition and full docu-
mentation of the inspections.

Our ”Mobile Crane Engineering” customer service department in-

Zweibrücken is there to help with any information regarding this
matter.
