4.6 Maintenance on Elevating
Assembly (Figure 4-6)
The only time the Elevating Assembly needs to be
elevated is to allow service work to be carried out on
the lower parts of the Elevating Assembly, the Lower
Lift Cylinder or the Slewing mechanisms.
All other work (Bearings, Cylinders, Booms & Tension
Bars) can and must be performed with the Elevating
Assembly in the stowed position.
BEFORE entering Elevating Assembly, to
perform maintenance on the Work Platform
while elevated, ensure that Elevating
Assembly is properly supported by suitable
cranage of adequate capacity.
(Recommended 1 tonne capacity crane and
sling.)
