CHECK OF THE OUTREACH LIMITING DEVICE
(see chapter on page 15)
LUBRICATION
Lubricate all the points where the grease nipples are located at least once a week (see table 1 in the
Spare Parts Manual).
Use AGIP GREASE 30 grease or products of equivalent quality.
Grease the articulated joints, if any, of the cardan propelling shaft of the hydraulic pump once a
week.
CLEANING THE BOOM
The telescopic boom should be cleaned once a month, or more frequently if it is used to work in
particularly dirty environments. Remove the old grease.
Once every three months, raise the boom completely, remove the rear cover, extend and retract the
telescope device several times to allow the dirt and any residues which have accumulated inside it
to drop out. This operation is particularly important if the platform has been used to carry out tree-
pruning work.
