The Demag AC 500 is an all terrain crane. It drives to the job on public roads, then sets up and lifts with a telescopic boom. If you run your own crane, you reach for this manual when the next scheduled service is coming up and you need the intervals and lube points in front of you.
What this manual helps you do
- Plan scheduled service by checking the maintenance intervals for the crane.
- Lubricate the points on the superstructure, hoists, luffing gear and main boom.
- Change fluids and filters in the hydraulic system, fuel system, and cooling, air intake and exhaust system.
- Inspect the electrical system, heating and crane operator's cab as part of routine checks.
- Check piston rods and make the routine adjustments that keep the crane in service.
Who this is for
This is for the owner-operator who does their own servicing and wants the lubrication and maintenance routine on paper. It also suits a buyer of a used crane who wants a service schedule to work from.
