GENERAL
Following the designated lubrication procedures is important in ensuring maximum crane lifetime and
utilization. The procedures and lubrication charts in this section include information on the types of
lubricants to be used, the location of the lubrication points, the frequency of lubrication, and other
information.
The service intervals specified are for normal operation where moderate temperature, humidity, and
atmospheric conditions prevail. In areas of extreme conditions, the service periods and lubrication
specifications should be altered to meet existing conditions.
LUBRICANTS
CAUTION
Chassis grease lubricants must not be applied with air
pressure devices as this lubricant is used on sealed
fittings.
SYMBOL DESCRIPTION
AFC
Anti-Freeze Coolant. Formulated for engine coolant systems to provide effective engine
cooling and anti-freeze properties as provided in MIL-A-46153.
