High Humidity or Saltwater
In some locations, such as coastal areas, the LRT
110 Crane may be exposed to the deteriorating
effects of salt, moisture or both. To protect
exposed metallic surfaces, wiring, hoist rope,
paint and other items, keep them dry and well
lubricated. Follow the recommendations below
when operating in these conditions:
Where paint may not be applied, such as on
polished or machined surfaces, coat the area with
grease to repel water.
Keep bearings and their surrounding surfaces
well lubricated to prevent the entry of water.
Cable must be kept well lubricated to prevent
moisture and salt from penetrating the cable
strands.
Check for deterioration.
Fording
Make frequent inspections for rust and corrosion.
Remove them as soon as they are detected. Dry
and paint exposed surfaces after rust and corro-
sion have been removed.
There are no special preparation or maintenance
vehicle requirements to ford up to 30 in, (762
mm) of water.
