• Whether the power source is correct, different countries have different power source standards, once the power source is wrong, it will lead to serious result.
• Double check the wire connections, whether they are in the right places.
• Double check all the bolts connection and welding parts (some parts need to be welded on site) are tighten.
• Usually the lifting gearbox and traveling reducer need to be oiled at site, the quantity of oil is indicated on the gearbox and reducer, add common machine oil accordingly before start.
