Daily Deutz Engine Maintenance Tasks

Sign off on the daily Deutz engine maintenance

- Check the Safety Envelope Limit Switches and Angle Sensor - S-60X, S-60XC and S-80X

Testing the safety envelope system regularly is essential to safe machine operation. Continued use of an improperly operating safety envelope could result in the system not restricting the range of motion. Machine stability could be compromised resulting in the machine tipping over

Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on a firm, level surface with all weight, tools and equipment removed from the platform

Note: Start this procedure with the boom fully retracted and in the stowed position

1. Turn the key switch to ground control and pull out the red Emergency Stop button to the on position

2. Start the engine from the ground controls

3. Turn and hold the function enable switch to the restricted maximum platform capacity and raise the primary boom until it is fully elevated

4. Extend the primary boom until it is fully extended

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Start the engine from the platform controls and extend the axles

Replace any wear pad if it is less than specification. If a wear pad is not less than specification, shim as necessary to obtain minimum clearance and no drag

Extend and retract the axles through the entire range of motion to check for tight spots that may cause binding or scraping of the axle tubes

Note: Always maintain squareness between the outer and inner axle tubes

Extendable axle wear pad Wear pad specifications : Minimum 0.4375 inch / 11.11 mm

Sign off on the axle inspection

Maintaining the axle wear pads in good condition is essential to safe machine operation. Wear pads are placed on axle tube surfaces to provide a low friction, replaceable wear pad between moving parts. Improperly shimmed wear pads or continued use of worn out wear pads may result in component damage and unsafe operating conditions

Be sure that the axles are fully extended before attempting this procedure

Is the wear pad less than 0.437 inch/1.12 mm?

If a wear pad is not less than specification, shim as necessary to obtain minimum clearance and no drag

If the wear pads are still within specification, refer to Repair Procedure in the appropriate Service and Repair Manual for your machine, How to Shim the Extendable Axles.

If any wear pads are replaced, refer to Repair Procedure in the appropriate Service and Repair Manual for your machine, Grease the Extendable Axles

Extend and retract the axles through the entire range of motion to check for tight spots that may cause binding or scraping of the axle tubes

Always maintain squareness between the outer and inner axle tubes

Warning: Perform this procedure with the machine on a firm, level surface with the boom in the stowed position.

Grease the turntable bearing. Refer to Maintenance Procedure, Grease the Turntable Bearing and Rotate Gear

Torque the turntable bearing bolts to specification. Refer to Maintenance Procedure, Check the Turntable Rotation Bearing Bolts

Raise the boom to full height using the ground controls. Do not extend the boom.

Place a dial indicator between the drive chassis and the turntable at a point that is directly under, or inline with, the boom and no more than 1 inch / 2.5 cm from the bearing

Adjust the dial indicator needle to the 'zero' position

Lower the boom to a horizontal position and fully extend the boom

Enter the reading on the dial indicator

Move the booms to the positions indicated in step 3. Visually inspect the dial indicator to be sure the needle returns to the 'zero' position
