6-1. GENERAL
The WorkSaver™ 65 is easy to maintain but to
provide for maximum service life from this unit,
a program of periodic checks and maintenance
are necessary. This section describes
lubrication requirements and general
maintenance procedures. See Figure F-1 for a
graphic representation.
6-2. LUBRICATION
Lubrication is critical to the protection of your
crane. It provides for smooth operation and
protection from corrosion/rust. Following are the
areas which will require periodic lubrication.
ROTATION BEARINGS:
The two rotation bearings in the base were
lubricated at assembly. If the crane becomes
difficult to rotate or becomes noisy, inspect the
bearings and grease if necessary.
STANDARD ROTATION LOCKING HANDLE
THREADS:
Apply a light lubricant weekly to the threads to
provide for ease of operation and rust
prevention. Do not over lubricate or get oil on
the handle which could cause the operator to
loose his grip on the handle.
EXTENSION BOOM:
Lightly grease the sides of the extension boom
to provide for easy withdrawal from the lower
boom when adjusting crane reach. An
extension boom which is difficult to slide in and
out can be hazardous.
WIRE ROPE:
Wire rope is lubricated during its manufacture
but this lubrication will not protect the rope for its
service life. It is necessary to lubricate wire
rope in order to prevent corrosion, friction
created heat and to extend its life.
Lubricate the wire rope as follows:
1. Clean the rope of dirt, dust and any other
foreign matter.
2. Apply a light lubricant which will penetrate
the strands of the rope. Apply by dropping on,
Section 6. MAINTENANCE
spraying on or bushing on.
3. Apply lubricant heavily to portions which
encounter bending such as at the sheave and
winch.
6-3. WIRE ROPE REPLACEMENT
Replace the entire wire rope when any of the
following conditions exist:
1. When there are either 3 broken strands or a
total of six broken wires in all strands in any
rope lay.
2. When flat spots on the outer wires appear
and those outside wires are less than 2/3 the
thickness of the unworn outer wire.
3. When there is a decrease of diameter
indicating a core failure.
4. When kinking, crushing, birdcaging or other
distortion occurs.
5. When there is noticable heat damage
(discoloration) of the rope by any means.
6. When the diameter is reduced from nominal
size by 1/32" or more.
7. If a broken wire protrudes or loops out from
the core of the rope.
See the IMT Operator’s Crane Safety Manual
for more information concerning wire rope.
