250 Hours of operation/Monthly

NOTE: You must read and understand the warnings and
basic safety rules, found in Section 1 of this
manual, before performing any operation or
maintenance procedures.
For additional engine maintenance guidelines, see
the engine manual furnished with this crane.
Inspecting the Boom Chains
1. Place the booms in the fully lowered position.
2. Extend the booms to expose all of the side access holes.
3. Visually inspect the chains through the access holes. A
light may be needed to see most of the chain. Look for
any damage to the chains.
NOTE: If chain damage is found during the inspection, DO
NOT USE THE CRANE. Cease operation and
replace the damaged chain before placing the
crane back in service. A damaged chain could
break, causing boom to not function properly.
Personal injury or property damage could result.
4. Damage could be any of the following:
a. A crack or complete break of a link plate, particularly
a n o u t e r p l a t e o n e i t h e r s i d e o f t h e c h a i n

b. Distortion or spreading of an outside link plate,
evidenced by increasing clearance between
overlapping link plates, or between the inner link
plates and the roller. This indicates a hidden break
in a pin (Figure 5-34).

Link Plate Distortion
c. Looseness between the riveted ends of a chain pin
and the outer link plates. If a pin is broken, the
normal rigid riveting may loosen, leaving a visible
clearance around the exposed ends of the pin
(Figure 5-35).

determine if the V-flats are still in the correct
alignment. Chain with rotated or displaced heads or
abnormal protrusion (Figure 5-36) should be
replaced immediately.
