Lifting Chains Inspection - JLG TOUCAN 10E Service And Maintenance Manual

chart below. A too low viscosity will facilitate draining
of the lubricant by gravity. A too high viscosity will
prevent lubricant from reaching the friction surfaces
of the chain.

1. Using the ground control station, fully raise the
mast.
2. Lubricate the chains with a specified lubricant using
a paint brush or by spraying (if using a paint brush,
lubricant must be applied longitudinally to facilitate
penetration of lubricant between friction surfaces,
then transversely between the plates to enable lubri-
cant to reach the joint).
NOTE: If the chains are too clogged for the lubrication to be
correctly performed:
• Remove them from the mast.
• Thoroughly clean them with paraffin oil.
• Dry with compressed air while moving the chain.
• IMMEDIATELY dip in specified lubricant and move the
chain.
• Reinstall chain and cycle the mast several times.

Lifting Chains Inspection

Inspect thoroughly each chain over its entire length:
• Chains, anchors, clevis pins and splits pins should not
be corroded.
• Plates should not be cracked:
Figure 5-19. Cracked Plate
• The plate clevis pins should not present excessive
play.
• Pins should not have turned in their housing (1).

All chain appearing faulty or worn must be replaced
including chain anchors. Condition of the pulleys, pulley
bushings and telescopic mast alignment must be
checked.
