INSTRUCTIONS

The main bearing of your yacht crane (All SM & CT Series) needs to be greased thoroughly every 3 months to prevent corrosion.

  1. Raise the boom of your crane until you can access the inside of the truck.
  2. Look for the serial number plate, you will find a ¾” diameter plastic plug directly in front of the serial number plate.
  3. Carefully pry out this plug either with your fingers or a flat head screw driver.

Underneath you will see a grease nipple.

  1. Using waterproof high pressure grease, insert about five (5) shots into the bearing.
  2. Rotate the crane 90 degrees and insert another five (5) shots. Repeat two more times so that you have greased the bearing at four (4) spaced points.
  3. Replace the plastic plug.
  4. Exercise the crane thoroughly in the rotation function to evenly distribute the grease.
  5. Repeat again in 3 months.
