Disposal of materials should be according to the regulations of government and relevant environmental protection administration. Use only ZOOMLION approved replacement parts. ZOOMLION assumes no responsibility for hazards occurred to equipment and personnel caused by the use of unauthorized parts.
Limit switches and horn. Alarm and indicator (if equipped). Nuts, bolts and other fasteners. Brake release unit. 5.1.3 Maintenance Hazard Shut off power to all controls and ensure that all moving parts are secured from inadvertent motion prior to performing any adjustments or repairs. Never work under an elevated platform until it has been fully lowered to stowed position, if possible, or otherwise supported and restrained from movement with appropriate safety props, blocking, or overhead supports.
5.2 Power System Maintenance 5.2.1 Engine oil level Maintaining the engine oil at the proper level is essential to machine operation. Improper oil levels can damage engine components. Note: Check engine oil level after engine turns off. Check oil level indicator, and add oil as needed. Do not overfill.
5.2.3 Engine coolant level inspection Maintain the engine coolant at the proper level is essential to engine lifespan. Improper coolant level can damage the engine cooling ability and engine components. Daily checks allow the inspector to identify changes in oil level that might indicate the presence of cooling system problems. Burn Hazard Mind hot engine components and coolant.
5.3 Battery Maintenance Battery inspection Proper battery condition is essential to good machine performance and operational safety. Improper fluid levels or damaged cables and connections can result in component damage and hazardous conditions. This inspection is not required for machines with sealed or non-maintainable batteries. Check electrolyte level of the battery every two weeks.

ZOOMLION recommends a replacement tire be the same size, play and brand as originally installed on the machine. Please refer to the ZOOMLION Parts Manual for the part number of the approved tires for a particular machine model. If not using a ZOOMLION approved replacement tire, we recommend that replacement tires have the following characteristics: Equal or greater ply/load rating and size of original;...
regarding stability. 5.5.3 Wheel installation It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel mounting torque. Wheel nuts must be installed and maintained at the proper torque to prevent loose wheels, broken studs, and possible dangerous separation of wheel from the axle. Be sure to use only the nuts matched to the cone angle of the wheel.
DO NOT mix oils of different brands or types, as they contain different additives which may cause negative effects. If mixing of hydraulic oils is unavoidable, permission must be obtained from the hydraulic oil manufacturer. After-sales service of ZOOMLION does not cover machine malfunction caused by hydraulic oil mixing.

5.6.5 Hydraulic oil replacement We suggest that changing time of the hydraulic oil is as follows: First changing: operating for 500 hrs after commissioning. Second and subsequent changing: every 2,000 hrs of operation or once a year. The above recommended intervals are suitable for most applications. Higher temperatures and pressures will shorten the oil's service life, so the hydraulic oil should be changed sooner than the recommended.
