Using suitable couples of blockings to support mast sec-
tion(s) during chain replacement procedure is essential
for good working safety condition. Blockings could be
strong wooden blocks or steel tubes with obturated ends.
Blockings should be inserted in mast section roller track
and secured with C-clamps as shown following:

Lubrication

Lube Points: 6 chains
Capacity: A/R
Lube: C (See Table 1-14)
Interval: After the first 50 hours of operation and every 125
hours of operation (or every 3 months) thereafter.
THE INITIAL LUBRICATION OF THE CHAINS IS ONLY TO PRO-
TECT THEM AGAINST RUST AND TO PROTECT FRICTION SUR-
FACES DURING THE FIRST 50 HOURS OF OPERATION.
AVOID REMOVING THE LUBRICANT FROM THE CHAINS. DO NOT
USE ACID OR DETERGENT TO CLEAN THE CHAINS. USE ONLY
SPECIFIED LUBRICANT. NEVER USE GREASE TO LUBRICATE
THE CHAINS.
NOTE: Chains lubrication intervals must be established
depending on the environment in which the work
platform is operated or stored (dusty or aggressive
environment). The lubricant must be adapted to the
machine's operating condition. In general, a non
detergent mineral oil is sufficient. Its viscosity must
be adapted to the temperature according to the
