OPERATE HIAB CRANE IN EXTREME DUST
1.
When operating a HIAB Crane in a blowing sand environment, perform the following:
NOTE
•
Operation of the HIAB Crane in extreme dust presents special
problems due to the abrasive action of dust, which shortens the
life of parts.
•
Cylinder rods on hydraulic cylinders have a light coating of oil
which collects dust and abrasive particles. Wiper seals are
installed around rods to remove these particles, but if deposits of
dust are allowed to accumulate, the life of these seals will be
shortened.
•
Hydraulic leaks will collect sand accumulations. Dust mixed with
oil makes an excellent abrasive compound which increases wear
on components.
