lubrication setting (must be set and locked)
Explanation:
It sounds like whatever control actuator is used to set the lubrication setting is a rocker of some kind. I doubt that the rocking action is critical here; it is only important that the setting be made and locked.

IMO the sentence should be recast. The essence is that the system must be locked in the lubrication setting.

luffed into the lubrication position


Explanation:
The jib system must have been luffed into the lubrication position and locked before entering of the landings is possible/allowed.

(the lubrication position is the smallest radius of the crane, i.e. when the jib system is luffed in nearest to the crane column)

luffing in - einwippen
luffing out - auswippen
