 Introduction

General

Regular servicing and proper operation is of vital

significance for long service life of the machine. The
instructions contained in this manual should therefore be
adhered to.

Experience shows that a thorough check of the boom at

regular intervals is a guarantee for favourable cost
efficiency.

Do not pollute the environment. It is imperative that you

do not allow oil to leak into the ground or water because it
only takes one liter of mineral oil to contaminate one
million liters of water. Should you see a leaky joint, fix it
immediately.

Remember fire prevention. Keep the boom clean at all

times for this reduces the risk of overheating and chance
of a fire starting.

Prevent fires

When working in a forest environment, it is impossible to

prevent combustible debris from collecting in tight corners
of the machine. This debris, in itself, may cause a fire;
however, when mixed with fuel, oil, or grease in a hot or
confined place, the danger of fire is very much increased.

–UN–23AUG88
To reduce the chance of a fire starting, observe the
following instructions:

TS227
• Temperature in engine compartment may go up
immediately after engine is stopped. Be on guard for Fire Prevention
fires during this period. If necessary, open access doors
to cool the engine faster.
• Keep machine clean. Check and clean covered
compartments, including engine bay, belly plates etc.
• Remove dust and debris especially from the
surroundings of the exhaust pipe and the engine heater
(if installed).
• Wash the machine regularly.
• Clean the radiator grille and cooling ducts regularly.
• Inspect the machine daily for potential fire hazards and
make any necessary repairs immediately.
• Inspect electrical wiring and connections, fuel and
hydraulic hose runs and fixturing to ensure they are
secure and not rubbing against other components.
• Clean up any excess grease and oil accumulation and
repair the leak immediately.
• Use only nonflamable solutions for cleaning the
machine or components.
• Store rags in a safe, fireproof location.
• Before starting repair work, such as welding, the
surrounding area should be cleaned and a fire
extinguisher should be close by.
• Maintain a charged fire extinguisher on the vehicle at
all times and know how to use it.

when the boom is installed.

The delivery of the boom includes the boom with the

hydraulic cylinders and slewing system.

NOTE: All changes and maintenance must be carried out

so that the national and international safety
regulations are taken into consideration.

When removing joint pins or other load-bearing structures

bear in mind the following:

• The lifting capacity of the crane or pulley must be

adequate.
• The hoisting equipment must be reliable and in good
working order.
• The booms must be properly supported in every
direction
• Make sure that installation point of the boom is hard
enough to bear the workload and mechanical pressure
• If the hydraulic system has been serviced or repaired,
air must be eliminated from the system before the

Requirements for the hydraulic installation

The requirements for the hydraulic installation and the

sizes of the connectors are shown later in this chapter.
The pressure category of the hoses must be high enough
(min. 360 bar) and the working area of the hoses must be
from -50°C to +100°C. The main rule is that the hydraulic
system have to be filled always with the same oil type
which already is in the system.

NOTE: Before oil filling make sure that hydraulic oil is

right type.

Strict cleanness should always be observed during

installation and contaminants should be prevented from
getting into the hydraulic system.

Contamination of the system can be avoided with the

help of the following measures:

• Installation must be carried out in a clean environment

• Welding and rubbing must not be carried out during
installation
• Tube and hose ends must always be protected
• Hoses and tubes must be rinsed and cleaned with
pressurized air before installation

When the hydraulic system has been installed, air must

be eliminated from the system. Bleeding can be done so
that all the cylinders will be operated carefully all the way
to the end limiters at least two times.

See Section 7-1, bleeding the hydraulic system, for basic

 Operating

General operating instructions

First, operate the boom smoothly without load in

order to allow the grease to warm up and a coherent
lubrication film to be formed in boom joints.

During Operation:

1. Observe the lifting ratings given on the boom decal.

The weight of the lifting equipment is included in the
load to be lifted.
2. When handling a maximum load, exercise great
caution.
3. Operate the control sticks smoothly; avoid jerky
movements
4. Exercise extra caution always when a boom or the
booms are in their extreme positions.
5. Keep an eye on machine stability.
a. Constant alertness is required particular when
operating on sloping ground.
b. If necessary, lift small loads only
c. When you notice that the machine is about to fall
over, pull all extensions in, bend the outer boom,
and lower the load smoothly onto the ground.

6. When handling a load proceed as follows

a. Lift the load up
b. Move it closer to the machine.
c. Slew it.
d. Lower the load down.

7. It is possible that you exceed the lifting capacity of the

boom (the booms will sink) if you pick up a load that is
close to the machine and move the load away from the
machine. When this happens you must bring the load
closer to the machine by pulling the outer boom or
extension inwards. This is necessary because
otherwise the power of the main boom cylinder will not
be sufficient to handle the load.

When Loading Is Over:

1. Lower the booms (and also the center of gravity) onto

the load, as down as possible.
2. Close the grapple around the load or frame in order to
prevent the boom from moving sideways.

3. Do not ever leave the boom unsupported by relying on

the hydraulic system only.
4. When you drive the machine from one place to another
make sure that the boom does not make any sudden
movements.

Fluids and lubricants

General instructions for checking oil levels and

fill-ups:

• The machine must stand on level ground when you

check any of the oil levels.
• Check the oil level in the morning because then the oil
is cold and it has seeped down into the lower parts of
the component.
• Renew the oil while the engine is warm. Thus it is
easier to remove the old oil.
• To even the pressure at the oil space, open a plug
located above the oil level (e.g. filling plug) before
opening the drain plug.
• Avoid direct contact with oil, particularly heated oil.
• Oil on the skin should be washed off immediately.

Basic rules when changing oil and filters, checking

hydraulic pressures, repairing etc:

• Clean thoroughly the area around the components to be

opened to ensure that no dirt enters the system.
• Keep the hydraulic hoses plugged as well as the filters
in their packs until they are installed to the machine.
• Plug removed components.
• Ensure that all parts are clean before assembly.

Grease

IMPORTANT: Contact John Deere service about

availability of John Deere greases.

Apply lithium grease, some examples:

• Neste Yleisrasva EP 2
• Esso Beacon EP2
• Shell Retinax LX Lithium
• Mobilgrease
• Castrol LM Grease
• Texaco Molytex Grease EP 2

 Maintenance - General

NOTE: Use enough grease!

NOTE: Don’t mix different type of grease together.

Hydraulic fluid

If you use mineral oil:

• Comply with SH 68 (SMR classification) in summer.

• Comply with SHS 32 (SMR classification) in winter.
• Comply with SHS 46 (SMR classification) for year-round
usage.

If you use synthetic biodegradeable oil:

• Neste Biohydrauli SE 46
• BP BIOHYD SE 46

IMPORTANT: Do not mix different types of oils as this

will cause degradation of their
properties when mixed.

When in doubt, contact the

manufacturer. Abuse will result in the
revocation of the warranty.

Gear oil

• Boom slew housing

Use hypoid oil that complies with the classification:

• API GL-5
• MIL-L-2105 B or D

Bleeding the hydraulic system

If the hydraulic system has been serviced or repaired, air

must be eliminated from the system before the machine is
put to use again.

If not eliminated from the system the presence of air will

result in the following problems:

• Sudden, unintended movements

• Damage to gaskets. When compressed, air heats up
quickly and burns the packing material.

NOTE: While bleeding the hydraulic system, make sure

that THERE IS NOBODY WITHIN THE REACH
OF THE BOOM, because air can result in sudden,
unintended movements.
