Maintenance
In general, maintenance should always be performed by qualified personnel in accordance
with relevant accident prevention regulations and generally accepted safety rules.
Recommended maintenance interval: 1 year
We recommend the owner / operator to a visual and functional test of the components
listed below several times a year, to make sure that the crane system is in good condition.
Before operating the crane all fasteners such as locking screws, connecting bolts, etc.
should be checked for tightness and integrity.
Furthermore any components and modules of the crane such as the base dolly, the
wheels, track wheel and levelling units, extensions and rigging parts, angle adjuster,
platform, remote bracket, counterweight bucket and especially the connecting flanges of
the crane sections have to be inspected for any kind of damage.
It is also necessary to check the proper function of the closure of the counterweight
bucket, the wheel brakes, the friction at the middle section and if the bearings of the
wheels of the dolly, the track wheels, the middle section, the turnstile and the angle
adjuster are running smooth.
In case of any damages of the crane, the manufacturer has to be informed immediately
about the accident details and the heaviness of the damage. In accordance with the
manufacturer further action has to be clarified.
In general damaged parts have to be sent to the manufacturer for repair or replacement.
