3.1 Operational planning

In addition to a perfectly working crane and a well-trained crew, operational planning is an


important precondition for safe and reliable crane operation.

The crane operator must obtain or receive the necessary information (familiarize himself with
the operating manual, basic knowledge about pneumatic, electrical and hydraulic drive, and
notes for safe operation as well as operating environment) before starting the crane operation,
in particular:

a) Clearly define the area of responsibility of all personnel concerned.

b) Type of crane operation and required working mode;

c) Distance between the lifting points and surrounding buildings;

d) Influence of communal facilities ( including the overhead high/low voltage lines and

underground gas pipes)

e) Space requirements at the work site

f) Movement restrictions due to surrounding structures(e.g. is there another crane nearby in


working);

g) Number, weight, dimensions, material of load(s) to be lifted

h) Required lifting height and slewing radius

i) Load-bearing capacity of soil or surface to be operated upon

j) Height and widths of thoroughfares leading to the site;

k) Other factors affecting the site (e.g. weather, live lines, etc.);

l) Communication means adopted between signalman and crane operator;

m) Take appropriate measures to keep people unconcerned and equipment away from the
working area;

n) Equipment modifications: the employer of the equipment shall adhere to the requirements
of 1926:1434

Based on the above information, the crane operator must assemble the equipment required to
operate the crane:

- Required working mode for crane operation

- Hook blocks/load hook (with or without hook blocks)

- Counterweight
0063640-200-03.CY

Caution:

1. A correct and complete operational planning is vital for safe and problem-free
operation of the machine. The operation planner must plan a safe and reliable
operational planning by obtaining and analyzing all necessary information about
the operation and considering all the factors that may impair safety of crane
operation.

2. If the crane operator does not possess all necessary and required information, it
may prove impossible to carry out the intended work and accidents may be the
result!

3.2 Safety—Technical Notes

3.2.1 Safety Instructions

3.2.1.1 Safety instructions for crane operator

The crane operator’s primary responsibility is to control, operate and adjust the crane in a
manner that is safe for both himself and others. Therefore the crane operator should meet
the following requirements.

a) The operator must be familiar with the operating manual for the crane, and know the

accordance with specified regulations, and take precautions against possible
dangers caused by improper operation.

3.2.1.4 Points for attention for crane operating crew

a) Any unsafe operation must be corrected or any dangerous situations must be reported
to supervisor.

b) All the persons in vicinity of crane must observe the acoustic warning signals of the
machine so as to ensure himself and others safety.

c) All the worker must know about the content of task and working sequence;

d) Check whether dangerous situations occur during operation of the machine, and inform
crane operator and signalman of the unsafe factors such as high-voltage power line,
unauthorized persons, obstacles and poor ground conditions.

3.2.2 Selecting an operating site

It is very important to choose an appropriate location for crane operation in order to minimize
safety risks. The operating site should be selected so that:

a) crane movement can be carried out within the smallest possible radius;
0063640-200-03.CY

b) no obstacles hinder necessary movements;

c) the ground an the operating site is able to support expected loads;

d) Accessible areas within the swing radius of the rear of the rotating
superstructure of the crane, either permanently or temporarily mounted, shall
be barricaded in such a manner as to prevent an employee from being struck
or crushed by the crane

Danger:
The most essential requirement for safe crane operation is working on firm ground with the
capacity to support you loads.

3.2.3 Slopes and trenches

The crane may not be set up too close to slopes or trenches. A safety distance must always
be kept from them depending on the type of soil.

Note:

Safety distance is measured from the foot of the trench and is:

Soft or backfilled soil = 2× depth of trench (A2 = 2×T)

Hard or grown soil = 1×depth of trench (Al = 1×T)

Danger:
If a safe distance is not maintained, the slope or trench must be firmly filled. Otherwise,
there is a danger that the edge of the slope or trench will give away.

3.2.4 Permissible ground pressure

Caution:If there is any doubt about the load-bearing capacity of the ground at the operating

site, soil test should be carried out, for example, with a penetrometer.

3.2.5 Checking safety measures

The safety condition of the crane should be checked thoroughly prior to operating the crane,
including:

a) Check whether the ground provides adequate load-bearing capacity.;

b) Check whether there is sufficient safety clearance to slopes and trenches;

c) Check whether the crane is adjusted to be horizontal;

d) Check whether there are live electrical wires within the working range of the crane.

e) Check whether there are obstacles which will hinder required crane operation.

working radius:
0063640-200-03.CY

Caution:

The crane operation belongs to dangerous operation; so much attention should be given to
the working condition of crane before and during crane operation.

3.2.6 Crane operation with a load

Before beginning any work, the crane operator must be convinced that the crane is in safe
operating condition. All safety devices, such as load moment limiter, hoist limiter switches,
brakes, etc., are in good working order.

a) The load moment limiter must be set according to the current crane configuration.

b) The load capacities as given in the load lifting capacity tables must be adhered to. The
loads given in the load lifting capacity tables must not be exceeded.

c) The crane operator must know the weight and dimensions of the load before operating
the crane.

d) Load handling devices, lifting equipment and tackle must be in accordance with specified
requirements.

e) It must be ensured that the weight of the hook block and the weight of the tackle are
subtracted from the load given in the lifting capacity table.

Example:

Maximum permissible load according to table 66150 Ib

Weight of the hook block 2359 Ib

Weight of the slinging rope 88 Ib

Actual useful load of the crane 63702 Ib


In this case, the load to be lifted may no exceed 63702 Ib
0063640-200-03.CY

3.2.6.1 Counterweight

The required counterweight should be installed prior to operation according to specified


requirements.

Danger:

If the counterweight is not installed according to the lifting capacity table, there is a danger
of the crane toppling over.

3.2.6.2 Hoisting gear, hoisting rope

The lifting capacity of the crane is a function of the tension force of the hoisting rope and
hoisting rope reeving. When working with a single cable, the crane can only lift as much of
a load as the hoisting gear is able to pull.

If the load to be lifted is heavier than the hoisting gear is capable of lifting, the hoisting rope
must be configured using block and tackle principles by appropriate reeving between the
pulley head on the boom and the hook block. Possible hoisting rope reeving is listed as
follows:

Hoisting rope reeving

reeving Lifting load reeving lifting load reeving lifting load

6 178605 13 363825 20 573300

7 207270 14 388080

Caution:

1. If crane is working with hoisting rope reeving less than the value listed in the above table,
single hoisting rope load must be checked to make sure that the max. permissible lifting
capacity of single hoisting rope is not exceeded.

2. Max. permissible lifting capacity of single hoisting rope is 33075 Ib

3. If the maximum tensile force is exceeded, there is the danger that the rope(s) may break or
that the hoisting gear and /or drive motor may be damaged.
0063640-200-03.CY

3.2.6.3 Crane operation

3.2.6.3.1 Operating conditions

a) All components of crane are in running-in state at the initial operating period. So, for the
first 100 operating hours, the working load should not be too great and the working speed
should not be too high. The maximum lifting load can not exceed 80% of its rated load.
And the maximum working speed is forbidden.

b) The ground on jobsite should be firm and flat and the gradient should not be greater than
5/1000. The complete vehicle should be level and the supporting ground should not give
away during operating. If the ground is soft, a steel plate should be placed under the track
shoe.

c) The permitted temperature range for crane’s operation is-20℃~40℃. Humidity should
not exceed 85%; however, high humidity up to 100% is only permitted for a short period
of time. The crane should be operated and supported on a ground lower than 1000m
above seal level.
0063640-200-03.CY

d) The maximum in-service wind speed should be not more than 9.8m/s during operation;
the maximum out-of-service wind speed should be no more than 21m/s when only main
boom is assembled, and no more than 15m/s when fly jib is assembled.

3.2.6.3.2 Instructions for Safety Operation

a) No person is allowed to stand under boom when crane is operated.

b) No person is allowed to stand on slewing table during operation.

c) It is forbidden to lift load over people.

d) It is forbidden to lift the load when someone is standing on it.

e) Overloading operation and lifting staggered load is prohibited. Never pull load
obliquely.
0063640-200-03.CY

f) It is forbidden to lift load hidden in the ground or frozen on the ground.

g) The crane can travel with a load of 70% of the rated load. In this case, the ground
should be firm and its gradient should not be more than 5/1000. The driving speed
must be less than 0.5km/h. The boom frame must be located in the driving
direction.

h) If the crane is operated in the vicinity of transmission systems (e.g. transmitters),


strong electromagnetic field will be generated there, so measures should be taken
to protect the crane against high frequency interference and all workers who stand
on large metal plate should wear special isolating gloves and clothes to avoid
being burnt.

aa) Prior to work near transmitter towers where an electrical charge can be induced in the
equipment or materials being handled, the transmitter shall be de-energized or tests shall be
made to determine if electrical charge is induced on the crane. The following precautions
shall be taken when necessary to dissipate induced voltages:

bb) The equipment shall be provided with an electrical ground directly to the upper rotating
structure supporting the boom; and
0063640-200-03.CY

cc) Ground jumper cables shall be attached to materials being handled by boom equipment
when electrical charge is induced while working near energized transmitters. Crews shall be
provided with nonconductive poles having large alligator clips or other similar protection to
attach the ground cable to the load

dd) Combustible and flammable materials shall be removed from the immediate area prior to
operations

i) The brake of hoist mechanism is not allowed to be adjusted when the crane is
lifting a load.

j) Under any condition, there must be three windings of wire rope left on the hoisting
drum.

k) When a load is suspending in the air, the operator is not allowed to leave the cab.

l) Operation should be carried out stably


and gently. Never operate control lever
jerkily and carry out switchover operation
abruptly.
0063640-200-03.CY

m) When actual load reaches 90% of the rated one, the load moment limiter will
sound an alarm, to which high attention should be given.

n) Getting on and off the crane should be careful to avoid casualty.

o) It is prohibited to make any modifications to the crane without permission;


otherwise you should take the consequences.

p) Stop the crane operation if one of the following conditions occurs:

1) The crane is overloaded or the weight of load is uncertain;;

2) Load’s binding or hanging is not good or load may fall due to imbalance;
0063640-200-03.CY

3) No protective mat is added between the edges of load and wire rope;

4) In case of poor visibility and /or darkness, it is difficult to identify load or conduct

signal;

5) There is defect or damage of configuration or components which will impair


safe operation, for example, the brake and safety equipment fail, or the wire
rope is damaged etc.

q) Anyone is not permitted to climb on the load

hook, slings or load.


0063640-200-03.CY

r) Leave an ample space for stopping crane; otherwise persons nearby may be hurt
by crane counterweight due to narrow distance between counterweight and
surrounding building.

s) Keep the windows of crane operator’s cab clean to ensure good visibility; stop
crane operation immediately in case of poor visibility; replace the broken window
as soon as possible.

t) Persons may only access and leave the crane following permission from the
crane operator and only when the crane is at a complete standstill!

u) Keep crane clean and dry, since slippery walkway, ladder, tools or loose parts
0063640-200-03.CY

may cause operator to fall down from crane.

v) Do not lift the load which adheres to other objects forcibly. Otherwise, crane may
topple over, boom frame may buckle or objects may be damaged. Therefore, the
operator must ensure that the load is not in contact with other objects before
lifting.

w) Drive crane with great cautiousness, in working site or not. Observe the
conditions surrounding crane such as overhead power line, low-lying land, narrow
clearance, restriction to bridge and road, uneven ground and gradient of road. If
necessary, appoint a signalman to assist operator to move crane. Lock slewing
mechanism during traveling.

x) It is more dangerous that two cranes carry out lifting operations together.
Therefore, a careful calculation must be made before commencing the work, and
following import requirements for this type of operation must be observed.

1) The load is not casually attached to the crane. It must be calculated carefully
so that the actual lifting capacity of crane can not exceed the rated lifting
capacity.

2) Ensure that each lifting tackle can bear specified load weight which is
calculated during design.

3) The crane operator, signalman and other worker must evaluate the operational
planning together before operation.

4) Ensure that crane can move properly in the whole process of operation.

y) When you leave the machine in an emergency, you are putting your lift at risk.
Therefore, you must take following measures prior to leaving the machine.

1) Detach the load from the hook and set it down on the ground; if necessary,
lower the boom frame;

2) Apply slewing brake or lock slewing mechanism;

3) Apply parking brake;

4) Lock traveling mechanism;

5) Cut off power supply or switch off engine;

z) Do not wear loose clothing, scarves, open jackets or open shirt sleeves, and do
not wear jewellery (rings, bracelets, earrings or similar). Otherwise, there is
serious danger of injury from being pulled into moving machine parts.
0063640-200-03.CY

aa) Do not stop crane near the bank which is possible to collapse or on low-lying
land that may be washed down by water.

bb) Take away the key when machine remains idle. In this way, the unauthorized
person can not start the machine without permission.

cc) Unqualified person is forbidden to repair crane and change parts.

3.2.6.3.3 Preparation for crane operation

Crane operator should perform the following checks before operating the crane:

a) Check the daily record of work to ensure that all regular inspections maintenance and
repair works are performed.

b) Check the hoisting limiter, boom angle indicator, tilting-back support and other safety
equipment for functional work.

c) Check if the load-bearing parts such as wire rope (hoisting rope, derricking rope and
sling etc.), boom, outriggers, hook and load handling devices are kept in good
working order.

d) Check if there are some bolts, nuts and pins lost, and the components are cracked or
damaged.

e) Ensure that no modification has been made to the crane without permission, e.g.,
increase or decrease in counterweight plate and improper repair of boom frame.

f) After starting up the engine, check if the values shown on instruments are normal.

g) Check fuel lines and hydraulic oil lines for leakage.

h) Check all control mechanisms for functional work.

i) Check brakes and clutch. Test the braking performance by lifting a load away from the
ground and suspend it in the air for a moment.

j) Keep communication between the operator and rigger.


0063640-200-03.CY

k) Estimate the weight and dimensions of load to be lifted in advance.

l) Crane operation can be carried out within minimum working radius. No obstacles
hinder the necessary movements. The ground at the operating site is able to support
expected loads.

m) Ensure that no obstacles are within working radius and operator can see the load
clearing from the cab. Check if the communication between operator and signalman
is kept smooth so as to ensure safe crane operation.

n) Determine the load-bearing capacity of ground to be operated upon. Ensure that


crane is supported properly and never operate the crane on the soft and uneven
surface or on the ground of high water content or covered with frozen soil. If crane is
set up close to trenches, reinforce the trenches to avoid landslide. If the ground does
not have adequate load-bearing capacity, the crane is liable to turnover. In this case,
crosstie, steel plates should be padded underneath the crawler to distribute load so
that the load-bearing capacity of the ground will not be exceeded; make sure that the
crane is leveled.

3.2.6.3.4 Notes for crane operation

a) Estimate the weight and dimensions of load to be lifted in advance.

b) Use load handling devices (wire rope or chain) correctly. Make the vertical line of
hook pass through center of gravity of load.

c) If any part of crawler crane or load handling devices come in contact with high-voltage
line, or emergent situation occurs, the operator should stop the vehicle at once.

d) The load capacities as given in the load lifting capacity tables must be adhered to.
The loads given in the load lifting capacity tables must not be exceeded. Driving(or
slewing) too fast with a load, or setting up and loading on an uneven surface, and
swinging of suspended load should be avoided.

e) Diagonal pulling of the load to be lifted which is still in contact with the ground is
prohibited.

f) It should be avoided that the load or auxiliary lifting device collides with structural
members of crawler crane.

g) If crane gets caught in a thunderstorm during operation, following measures should


be taken at once:

-- Stop work on the crane immediately

--always set down the load and boom frame on the ground.

--apply brake or lock winch and slewing gear

--switch off the crane engine and cut off the power of load moment limiter and limit
switch
0063640-200-03.CY

--ask all crane workers to leave away.

h) If the crane is struck by thunderbolt, following checks should be performed:

--check whether there are burnt or damaged components

--check the performance of electrical parts and load moment limiter

--check the associated components for functional work

i) If earthquake occurs when crane is operated, following measures should be taken


immediately:

-- Stop work on the crane immediately

--always set down the load and boom frame on the ground.

--apply brake or lock winch and slewing gear

--switch off the crane engine and cut off the power of load moment limiter and limit
switch

--ask all crane workers to leave away.

After earthquake, following checks should be performed prior to crane operation:

--check the performance of electrical parts and load moment limiter

--check the associated components for functional work

j) If any part of crawler crane or load handling device is in contact with high-voltage lines,
the best way to guarantee the personal safety of operator is to stay in operator’s cab
until the danger is obviated. If operator must leave the crane, he’d better jump rather
than climb down the cab.

k) The operator’s cab should be equipped with an emergency hammer which can be
used to smash the window in an emergency so that operator can run away from the
cab.

l) The load moment limiter, once be triggered, should be kept in that state until the crane
is not overloaded.

m) If the load moment limiter is not set to the actual configuration status of the crane, it
can not fulfill its function as a safety device.

n) Examine if the angle indicators and the strain gauges are in function.

o) The crane may topple over backwards if a load is suddenly freed since the tension
created in the boom can cause it to jerk back violently.

p) Make sure that the loads and working radius contained in the lifting capacity tables
are not exceeded.

q) When working in the vicinity of power cables, a sufficient safety clearance must be
maintained, if the cables are not isolated by electricity engineers or the hazardous
0063640-200-03.CY

area is not fenced off.

r) For all crane movements, the crane operator must always keep the load, as well as
the crane hook or loading equipment when the crane is not loaded, in his field of
vision. If this is not possible, the crane operator may only operate the crane according
to instructions given to him by a signalman. These instructions may be given in the
form of hand signals or over a two-way radio. Whatever method is used, precautions
must be taken to eliminate the risk of misunderstanding.

s) All employees shall be kept clear of loads about to be lifted and of suspended loads

Note:

If, despite all precautions having been taken, a flashover occurs, carry out the following
procedure:

1. Keep calm!

2. Do not leave the crane cab.

3. Warn those around the crane not to move and not touch the crane.

4. Move the crane away from the danger area.

Not adhering to the above points may lead to risk of accidents or damage!

3.2.6.3.5 Checks after operation

a) When crawler crane and auxiliary lifting device are in non-working condition, never
park the vehicle near the embankment liable to collapse or low-lying land subject to
be washed by water.

b) Set down the load on the ground, and if necessary low the boom frame to some
extend; lock the slewing gear and traveling gear and apply the brake.

c) Shut down the engine and cut off power.

d) Check if there is leakage in someplace and repair it if necessary.

e) Clean such components as movable parts and exposed part of the piston rod of
cylinder.

f) Check if bolts and nuts are fitted tightly. Any defects found should be eliminated at
once. It is prohibited to operate the crane with fault.

g) Record the operating conditions and abnormal symptoms.

h) Check if the quantity of tools and accessories meet specified requirements.

i) Lock the operator’s cab or safety devices.

j) Take precaution measures against storm or lightning strikes.

k) Take precaution measures against frostbite in winter.


0063640-200-03.CY

Caution:

To avoid engine from freezing in winter, drain all cooling water when park the vehicle, if no
anti-freeze is added into the cooling water.

3.2.7 Electromagnetic influences


Strong electromagnetic fields are likely to be present if the construction site is close to a
transmitter.

Caution:

These electromagnetic fields can pose direct or indirect danger to persons or objects, for
example:
1. Effect on human organs due to temperature increase.
2. Danger of burns or inflammation due to temperature increase.
3. Spark or electric arc formation.
In any case, before working with the crane near transmitters, contact Zoomlion representative.
In addition, consult a high frequency specialist.
l) Every crane must be “totally” grounded. Check visually or with a simpler tester to ensure
that ladder, cab and cable pulleys are grounded.
m) All personnel working on the crane or with large metal objects must protect themselves
from burns by wearing non-conductive gloves and suitable clothing while working.
n) If one feels an increase in temperature, there is no need to panic. Always work under
the assumption that the respective workpiece, structural steel member or support is
“hot”.
o) The temperature of objects affected by high frequency radiation depends on their ‘size”.
Cranes, carriers and coverings, for example, are “hooter”.
p) Contact with other crane loads is not permitted when operating the crane (arcing). Since
defects caused by burns considerable reduce rope carrying capacity, any such
occurrences must be reported immediately to the machinery supervisor so that the
ropes can be inspected.
q) An insulator is required at all times between the crane load hook and tackle. It is strictly
prohibited to remove this insulator.
r) The ropes may not be touched above the insulator. This is strictly prohibited!
s) Crane with attached loads may not be touched by any unprotected parts of the body
after the load has been lifted or set down.
t) Do not work with a bare upper torso or in short pants, this is prohibited.
u) To minimize absorption of high frequency radiation, large loads should be transported
horizontally if possible.
v) Loads must be grounded, or additional insulation used (rubber material between the
object and gloves) when manual work is required.
w) To avoid accidents, use a safety belt when working on components that are high off the
ground.
0063640-200-03.CY

x) Handling explosive matter (such as refueling) may only be carried out at least 6 m away
from the place where sparks could form due to handling of larger metal parts. Use only
conductive rubber hoses to refuel.
y) Any accidents and unexpected events must immediately be reported to the local
construction supervisor and the safety engineer.

(2) Low engine oil pressure will impair the working efficiency of engine.

(3) Add diesel oil in time if the oil level is too low.

(4) If air filter is clogged, the icon “air filter clog” will flash. At this moment,
clean or change air filter.

(5) The inclination range for the superstructure: the inclination should be less
than 1% in both lateral direction and longitudinal direction. If this range is
exceeded, the crane operator must adjust the crane to horizontal position
firstly.

(6) The maximum in-service wind speed should not exceed 9.8m/s.

(7) The maximum out-of-service wind speed should not exceed 21m/s when the
crane is only fitted with main boom;

The maximum out-of-service wind speed should not exceed 15m/s when the
crane is fitted with main boom and fixed jib.

If wind speed reaches or exceeds these values, the entire boom should be
lowered down.

(8) The battery master switch must be switched on to electrify the machine.

(9) To protect the battery, switch off the battery master switch if the crane will not
work for a long time.

b) Right control panel

1) Illumination

engine is started.

Start the engine

Start the engine


0066340-200-04Y.C

(1) When ambient temperature is higher than or equal to﹣10℃, the engine will be
preheated automatically before startup. Therefore, the delay of engine startup in
cold climate is a normal phenomenon.

(2) When the engine is being preheated, the icon will flash. After the engine is
preheated, it will go out.

(3) When ambient temperature is lower than﹣10℃, the operator must actuate engine
cold-start device first and then start the engine. When engine cold-start device is
actuated, put the controller power (if there is) in (stop) position, the ignition key

switch in (power) position, the cold-start rocker switch in the 2nd position.
After running the cold-start device for about ten minutes, start the engine.

What’s more, if the water temperature of the engine in cold climate is too low, start
the cold-start device to improve the water temperature, ensuring that the water
temperature of the engine is in normal range.

(4) The engine can not work with full load until the running temperature is reached.

4.4 Safety devices

The crane operator must check all safety devices for functional work before every crane
operation.

Operating crane with faulty safety devices is prohibited!

4.4.1 Emergency stop button

As soon as this emergency stop button is pressed,

– the electrical control system is switched off and the diesel engine shuts down;
– All crane movements stop immediately.

The emergency shut-down button must only be used in case of emergency and not as
a normal procedure for shutting down the diesel engine!

If an emergency stop is triggered while a load is being lifted, there may be a risk of
accident owing to swinging of load.
0066340-200-04Y.C

4.4.2 Battery master switch

Position of the battery master switch Battery master switch

The battery master switch is put in the rear right side of the slewing table, near the battery,
which is described above. When the crane doesn’t work at night or for a long time, the battery
master switch should be put in “OFF” position to prevent the battery from discharging.

4.4.3 Load moment limiter

The load moment limiter switches off all crane movements that increase the load moment if
the permissible load moment is exceeded. Only crane movements that reduce load moment
can be carried out. Although the crane is equipped with load moment limiter, the operator
can’t escape the responsibility of unsafe operation. Before lifting a load, he must know the
approximate weight of the load and decide if the crane is in a position to carry out this job with
the help of load capacity chart.

Before operating the crane, the load moment limiter must be adjusted to the current
setup condition according to the lifting capacity chart. Only this way can it be able to
fulfill its protective task. If the crane operator does not observe this safety regulation,
there is a great danger of toppling or destroying the crane, despite the load moment
limiter is working normally. The load moment limiter can not monitor and control all
possible operating conditions; this is still primarily the responsibility of the operator.

4.4.3.1 The moment percentage between 100%-110%

If the moment percentage is between 100%-110%, it means that the crane overloads by
100%-110%, the crane movements “spool up hoisting winch 1 or 2” , “spool up derricking
winch” and “reel off derricking winch” are limited. The tricolor light sends out yellow

early-warning and red warning continuously. The buzzer sounds continuously. The icon
will be shown on the display.
0066340-200-04Y.C

The following operation can bypass the limited crane movements temporarily.

“Setup”switch “Derricking bypass” switch

1. When the control lever is in neutral position, if press “Setup” switch and then
release it, the cut-off movements “spool up hoisting winch 1 or 2” and “reel off
derricking winch” will be bypassed. The movements will be slower, the tricolor
light will send out yellow warning continuously, and the buzzer will sound,

meanwhile the icon will be shown on the display.

2. When the control lever is in neutral position, if press “Setup” switch and then
release it, and turn the “derricking bypass” switch to the right as shown in the
above figure, the cut-off movements “spool up hoisting winch 1 or 2”, “spool up
derricking winch” and “reel off derricking winch” will be bypassed. The
movements will be slower, the tricolor light will send out yellow and red warning

continuously, and the buzzer sounds, meanwhile the icon is shown on the
display.

4.4.3.2 The moment percentage more than 110%

If the moment percentage is more than 110%, it means that the crane overloads by 110%, the
crane movements “spool up hoisting winch 1 or 2” , “spool up derricking winch” and “reel off
derricking winch” are limited. The tricolor light sends out yellow early-warning and red warning

continuously. The buzzer sounds continuously. The icon will be shown on the display.

4.4.3.3 Unspecified rated load

If the load moment limiter enters the unspecified rated load work range, the crane movements
“spool up hoisting winch 1 and 2” and “reel off derricking winch” are limited. The tricolor light
will send out yellow early warning and red warning continuously. The buzzer will sound.
0066340-200-04Y.C

The following operation can bypass the limited crane movements temporarily.

When the control lever is in neutral position, if press “Setup” switch and then release it,
the cut-off movements “spool up hoisting winch 1 or 2” and “reel off derricking winch”
will be bypassed. The movement will be carried out at normal speed, the tricolor light

will send out yellow warning, and the buzzer will sound, meanwhile the icons and

are shown on the display.

(1) “Bypass” means when overload appears and the movement is restricted, the
operator get the permission to operate in the direction of danger temporarily
through switch, but it doesn’t mean that it excludes overload.

(2) Only when the control lever is in neutral position, can the “Setup” switch be
operated, otherwise, it will be invalid.

(3) Pressing “Setup” switch for the first time works, press it again, the control lever
returns to neutral position for more than 10 seconds or the engine stops, the lever
will be invalid.

(1) When the control lever is in neutral position and the engine is still on, turning
“safety bypass” switch right can bypass the overload safety device. Only operate
when professional supervisor is present and with special care.

(2) If bypassing the overload safety device, there will be no protective device to
prevent overloading, which will increase the chance of accident!

(3) “Safety bypass” works if turn it for the first time. Turn it again, the engine stops or
the working time is more than 30 minutes, it will be invalid.

(4) The movement will be slower after the “safety bypass” releases the safety
restriction.

(5) The icon shows on the display when the “safety bypass” switch works.

(6) The “safety bypass” switch is placed in electrical control box for slewing table.

(7) The “safety bypass” switch can only be used by professionals and can’t be used
as device for normal operation.
0066340-200-04Y.C

It’s very dangerous to use “safety bypass” switch, which is not allowed to use in
normal circumstances. Only in special condition and the operator knows the possible
consequences, the operation is allowed and with special care.

4.4.4 Boom angle indicator

Boom angle indicator is fitted on the lower rear end of main boom pivot section (i.e. on the
right side of the crane operator’s cab). In this way, the operator, even in crane operator’s cab,
can clearly read boom angle shown on the indicator.

Boom angle indicator

4.4.5 Derrick limiter

It is used to detect main boom angle and in real time according to the data collected by angle
sensors. Once detected angle exceeds safe angle range, an alarm will be sent out and
dangerous movements will be switched off so as to ensure safe crane operation.

a) Crane operation with main boom

When the main boom angle is 80°, the derricking speed will be slower and the buzzer
will give an alarm.

When the main boom angle is 83°, the crane movement “raise main boom” will be cut
off automatically and the buzzer will give an alarm.

b) Crane operation with main boom and fixed jib

The requirements for main boom angle under this boom configuration are the same as
that under “Main boom” configuration. The fixed jib can be fitted in the angle of either 10°
or 30° to main boom.
0066340-200-04Y.C

c) For SW boom configuration

1) When the main boom is raised to 80° position, the main boom derricking speed will
be slower.

2) When the main boom is raised to 85° position, the system will cut off hoisting
movements automatically and gives an alarm.

3) When the main boom is lowered to 65° position, the system will cut off lowering
movements and gives an alarm. After switching to “assembly mode” or press “Setup”
switch, the main boom will be lowered down.

4) When the angle between the main boom and luffing boom is less than 85°, main
boom derrick winch will be spooled up, and luffing jib lowering will be stopped
automatically in “assembly mode” and “working mode”.

5) When the upper angle between main boom and luffing jib is more than 10° and less
than 15°, the luffing jib will move slowly.

6) When the upper angle between main boom and luffing jib is 10°, the system will cut
off luffing jib raising movements and give an alarm.

7) When the luffing jib angle is less than 15°, the luffing jib lowering movements will be
stopped automatically. After switching to “assembly mode” or press “Setup” switch,
the luffing jib can still be lowered down.

Under this boom configuration with S-boom angle of 85°: when W-luffing jib angle
exceeds 60°, the luffing jib with a load should not be raised/lowered at high speed.
And the load should be the min. lifting capacity under this boom configuration;
otherwise the luffing jib is liable to overturning. Before the load is detached from
the load hook, lower the luffing jib to a position(less than 60°). In other words,
lower the luffing fly jib to 60° by the pulling force of load.
0066340-200-04Y.C

4.4.6 Lowering limiter

Lowering limiter

In order to prevent wire rope from being wound in the opposite direction after it is unwound
completely, the lowering limit switches fitted on winch 1 and 2 are triggered when there are
only 3 windings of wire rope left on the drums. Under this condition, the buzzer on the control
panel will sound, the tricolor light will send out yellow early warning and red warning

continuously, and the icons or on the main screen of display will flash. The

icon will be shown on the display. At this time, the movement of “reel off winch” is
switched off, and only the movement of ‘spool up winch” can be carried out.

The following operation can bypass the limited crane movements temporarily.

“Lowering bypass” switch

Turn the “lowering bypass” switch to the right as described above, the cut-off movement “reel
of hoisting winch 1 or 2” will be bypassed, the tricolor light will send out yellow early warning,

the buzzer will sound continuously, and the icon is shown on the display at the same
time.
0066340-200-04Y.C

(1) “Bypass” means when lowering appears and the movement is restricted, the
operator get the permission to operate in the direction of danger temporarily
through switch, but it doesn’t mean that it excludes lowering.

(2) The bypass of lowering limiter must be guided by a professional. He must contact
with the crane operator directly and monitor the residual length of the wire rope all
the time. Great care is needed to operate the crane.

If the lowering limiter is bypassed, there will have no protective device to prevent wire
over-lowering, which will increase the chance of accident!

4.4.7 Hoisting limiter

Hoisting limiter

If the load hook comes into contact with the hoisting limit switch weight during its upward
movement, the hoisting limit switch is triggered, the buzzer on the control panel sounds, and
the crane movement “Spool up hoisting winch 1 and 2” “reel off derricking winch” are switched
off. The tricolor light sends out yellow early warning and red warning continuously. The icon

or on the display starts to flash. The icon will be shown on the display.

The following operation can bypass the limited crane movements temporarily.
0066340-200-04Y.C

“Hoisting bypass” switch

Turn the “hoisting bypass” switch right, as described above, which will bypass the
cut-off movement “spool up hoisting winch H1 or H2”. The tricolor light sends out

yellow warning, and the buzzer sounds, meanwhile showing the icon .

1) “Bypass” means when hoisting appears and the movement is restricted, the
operator get the permission to operate in the direction of danger temporarily
through switch, but it doesn’t mean that it excludes hoisting.

2) The bypass of hoisting limiter must be guided by a professional. He must contact


with the crane operator directly and monitor the distance between the load hook
and boom end all the time. Great care is needed to operate the crane.

If the hoisting limiter is bypassed, there will be no protective device to prevent wire
hoisting, which will increase the chance of accident!

4.4.8 Support cylinder locking device

When the high pressure oil pipe, which is connected to support cylinder, is damaged, the
bidirectional hydraulic lock fitted in oil circuit can prevent pressure oil in the two chambers of
support cylinder from flowing outside so as to avoid cylinder retracting or extending, and thus
guaranteeing the safety of assembly and dismantling of the crawler crane.

4.4.9 Overflow valve

The overflow valve in hydraulic system can restrain the pressure in the circuit from rising
irregularly, thus protecting such hydraulic elements as hydraulic oil pump and hydraulic motor
against damage and preventing the hydraulic system from being overloaded.
0066340-200-04Y.C

4.4.10 Anemometer

The anemometer fitted on the boom or jib head can detect the wind speed in real time.

When the in-service wind speed exceeds 9.8m/s, the crane operation should be stopped
immediately.

When the out-of-service wind speed for “Main boom” configuration exceeds 21m/s, the entire
boom should be placed on the ground.

When the out-of-service wind speed for “Main boom with fixed jib” configuration exceeds
15m/s, the entire boom should be placed on the ground.

The operator should constantly observe the wind speed displayed on the screen.
0066340-200-04Y.C

4.5 Crane operation

a)

1)

2) The crane is horizontally aligned with enough bearing capacity of the


ground

3)

4) The hook bloc

5) All safety devices are set in accordance with the load capacity charts;

6) No person and object are within danger zone.

1) Always operate the control lever slowly and carefully. This can not only
ensure longer service life of crane, but also help to avoid accidents.

2) During all crane movements, make sure there are neither obstacles nor
persons in the danger zone.

3) Before every crane operation, at least an acoustic signal should be


given.

b) Checks during crane operation

If the crane has been worked for a long time, switch on “Oil cooling fan” switch to
cool down hydraulic oil automatically.

When the engine is running, the

1) Icon “Engine oil pressure”

2) Icon “Water temperature”

3) Icon “Air filter clog”

4) Icon “Oil inlet/return pipe clog”

5) Icon “Upper limit switch on H1”

6) Icon “Lower limit switch on H1”


0066340-200-04Y.C

7) Icon “Upper limit switch on H2”

8) Icon “Lower limit switch on H2”

9) Icon “Main boom, 85o”

(1) If one of the above icons flashes during crane operation, stop the operation
immediately and shut down the engine at once. Check the corresponding
device and eliminate the fault.

(2) If the icon “Engine oil pressure” does not go out after engine starts or

during crane operation, the engine should be shut down at once. If this
operation is not done, the engine will be damaged caused by insufficient oil
pressure.

(3) In order to see the positions of press-keys on the right control panel and the
position of boom clearly when the crane works at night, the crane operator
must turn on the LED on the keys of control panel, the working light on the

slewing table by placing master lighting switch to the 2nd position, and

then pressing “Working light on/off” switch .

(4) During operation, always check the indicators on the display of load moment
limiter. When carrying out crane movement, the operator must see the
changing load condition and changing forces. The overloading condition
should be recognized early, and the crane movement should be slowed down
accordingly.

4.5.1.2 Operation of traveling mechanism

The traveling movements are controlled by left and right control levers. The movements “left
crawler forwards” and “left crawler backwards” are controlled by left control lever, and the
movements “right crawler forwards” and “right crawler backwards” are controlled by right
control lever. In this way, crane can carry out such movements as traveling straight
ahead/backwards, steering during traveling and turning on spot.

Note:

Before carrying out the traveling movement, the operator must first press the

traveling switch , and then operate the control lever.

2) When operate the control lever, first press the deadman’s button, then
press the control lever. Otherwise, the operation is invalid.

3) The crane movements can still be carried out before the control lever is
returned to neutral position with deadman’s button released. However, to
perform the next crane movement after returning the control lever to
neutral position, the operator must press deadman’s button first and then
move the control lever. Otherwise, the operation of control lever is invalid.
4) In normal operation, stop the crane movements by returning the control
lever to neutral position.

Turning on the spot


0066340-200-04Y.C

Note:
1. The high speed is prohibited when the crane is turning.
2. When there is a need to stop traveling or steering, turn the control lever to
neutral (zero) position, the traveling brake will be activated automatically.
3. When crane is traveling with a load, it can only travel forwards with boom
located straight ahead.
4. When crawler crane is traveling for a long distance, ensure that the traveling
motor is behind the slewing table.

b) Traveling on slope

Make crawler crane travel forwards, and place the slewing control lever in neutral (zero)
position. When crawler crane is traveling uphill, the engine speed must be within medium
speed range and the boom length must be reduced as possible as you can. When
crawler crane is traveling on a slope with maximum permissible gradient, it can only be
fitted with basic boom.

Turning on the slope

If crawler crane needs to turn on the slope when it is traveling downhill, some treatments
should be taken to the undulations to form a gentle slope curve (see following diagram),
which can prevent crane’s center of gravity from deviating and load from concentrating
on a section of crawler when crawler crane is traveling over

Remove the undulation

Gentle slope

Slope treating diagram

Note:

1. When crawler crane is traveling from the horizontal ground to the slope, if its
center of gravity deviates forwards, the crane should be stopped to adjust the
center of gravity.

2. When crawler crane is traveling on a slope with rated gradient, it is impossible to


obtain a special mass parameter according to ground condition. Therefore, in
order to assure safety, the counterweight and boom should be dismantled from
crane during traveling.
0066340-200-04Y.C

Traveling with suspended load:

The crane can travel with suspended load, providing that the following precautions are
taken:

a) The ground surface must be flat and level (no gradient);

b) The subsoil must be capable of bearing crane’s maximum service weight


and the weight of suspended load;

c) The crane can travel with a load of 70% of the rated load. In this case, the
ground should be firm and its gradient should not exceed 5/1000. The
boom frame must be located in the driving direction;

d) Jerky crane movements must be avoided;

e) The suspended load must be lashed to prevent it from swinging;

f) Steering of crawler is forbidden.

c) Fast travelling

2) Only when deadman’s button is pressed, can the operation of control lever is
valid.

3) The crane movements can still be carried out before the control lever is
returned to neutral position with deadman’s button released. However, to
perform the next crane movement after returning the control lever to neutral
position, the operator must press deadman’s button first and then move the
control lever. Otherwise, the operation of control lever is invalid.

4) In normal operation, stop the crane movements by returning the control lever
to neutral position.

5) The high-speed switch is only used when the crane is traveling straight
without a load.

4.5.2 Operation of crane winches

Note:

1. Set correct boom configuration prior to operating crane winches.

2. Switch off traveling switch .

4.5.2.1 Hoisting mechanism

a) Components of hoisting mechanism

Hoisting mechanism consists of hydraulic motor, winch reducer, brake, lowering limiter,
hoisting limiter and wire rope as well as load hook 1 and 2. The speed of hoisting
movement can be changed by adjusting the inclination angle of control lever. The angle
can vary from - 5 to -25 or from 5 to 25. The bigger the inclination angle is, the quicker
the hoisting speed is.

b) Operation of hoisting winch

The crane is fitted with two hoisting winches: hoisting winch 1 and hoisting winch 2. Even
though the structure of hoisting winch 1 is the same as that of hoisting winch 2, their
positions and functions are different.

Hoisting winch 1 is required for crane operation with main boom, and hoisting winch 2 is
required for crane operation with main boom and fixed jib, crane operation with main
boom with luffing jib, or crane operation with tip boom.

The control lever for hoisting winch 1 is fitted at the right side of operator’s seat, and the
control lever for hoisting winch 2 is at the left side of operator’s seat.

Note:
1. Before operating the winch, the operator must first choose correct boom
configuration by turning boom configuration switch to required position. As to the
functions of winch 1 and 2, they are determined by selected boom configuration.
2. When spooling up or reeling off hoisting rope, keep watching the winch to make
sure that there is slack wire rope on the winch.

c) High-speed operation of hoisting winches

High-speed switch

Right control
lever

High-speed operation of hoisting winches

Turn “SpeedSet” switch to “high-speed” position or press “high-speed switch on right


control lever”, which is described above. Then operate right control lever or left control
lever to lift and lower load hook at higher speed.

Turn “SpeedSet” switch to “Medium-speed” position, then operate right control lever or
left control lever to lift and lower load hook at middle speed.

(1) Choose proper rope reeving in accordance with boom length.

(2) When the load swings due to winding wire rope, the load should be put down
and be loaded again after complete unlocking of wire rope.

(3) Under any conditions, there must be at least three windings of wire rope left on
the winding drum.

(4) When a load is lifted away from the ground, it should first be suspended in the
air for a moment. Do not lift the load until the operator confirms that there is no
safety hazard. Do not derrick and telescope the boom if the load is still in
contact with the ground.

(5) Do not change the control lever between “lift hook” and “lower hook” jerkily.
The operator must return the control lever to neutral position and ensure that
the winding drum has stopped before changing control lever from “lift hook”
to “lower hook”. Otherwise, the winch components will be damaged.
0066340-200-04Y.C

(6) If main boom is extended under “Main boom” configuration, the lifting height
of crane will increase accordingly, which will therefore make the wire rope not
long enough. Such problem can be solved by changing the rope reeving of
wire rope. Before changing the rope reeving, fit a hoisting limit switch weight.

When the crane is overloaded, or wire rope on hoisting winch 1 or 2 is


excessively wound /unwound, the dangerous motions will be switched off
automatically and an alarm will be given out

(7) After the system sounds the alarm, only movements towards safe directions
are permitted. If some movements towards dangerous directions are required,
please refer to instructions in section 4.4.

(8) The high-speed switch is only used when the crane is working without load or
with light load and the hoisting winch is operated alone.
0066340-200-04Y.C

4.5.2.2 Derricking mechanism

4.5.2.2.1 Component parts of derricking mechanism

Through changing the length of wire rope reeved between derricking pulley blocks (including
derricking crown block and derricking traveling block), the derricking mechanism, via
derricking winch, can adjust boom angle so as to change the working radius. In different boom
configurations, different winches are selected.

Crane operation with main boom and crane operation with main boom and fixed jib

Main boom angle can be adjusted by changing the length of wire rope reeved between
derricking pulley blocks, which consist of derricking crown block at the tail end of slewing table
and derricking traveling block on the top of A-frame.

4.5.3 Operation of synchronizing A-frame and main boom derricking winch and
synchronizing reeving winch and working winch

(1) The functions of synchronizing A-frame and derricking winch only works for
erecting the A-frame.

(2) Reeving winch synchronizing isn’t suitable for main boom derricking winch.

4.5.3.1 A-frame and main boom derricking winch synchronization

“Synchronisation” switch “A-frame retracting and erecting “switch

Procedure for this operation:

(1) Turn “synchronizing” switch on the right control panel to “Mast (A-frame) + E sync”
position, as described above.

(2) Turn “A-frame erecting/lowering” switch to the left “Erecting” position, as described
above.

(3) Then the A-frame is erected, while the main boom derricking winch is reeled off
synchronously and automatically;

(4) The movements “reel off main boom derricking winch” and “erect A-frame’ will be carried
out at the matched speed. And the movements can be stopped at any time according to
actual conditions.

4.5.3.2 Operation of reeving winch

(1) Prerequisite

An assistant is present to guide the hoisting rope.


 Complete the assembly operation on a stable area! If it is unavoidable that the rope
must be hand-guided over the boom to rope pulleys in boom head, proceed with
great caution when walking on the boom.
 The person guiding the rope will slip on the boom if the crane is not operated
properly. There is a great danger of a serious accident!
0066340-200-04Y.C

 After the A-frame reaching the required position, turn the synchronisation switch to
neutral position.

(2) Operation of reeving winch

1) Reel off reeving winch. The rope of reeving winch is reeved in accordance with the
reeving diagrams, however in reverse direction with hoisting rope between the rope
pulleys in the boom head and the hook block.

Turn the reeving winch switch to the right on right control panel– reel off reeving
winch.

2) Attach the rope end point of reeving winch to hoisting rope for winch 1 (or winch 2) with
rope lock.

3) The hoisting winch 1 (or 2) is reeled off, while the reeving winch is spooled up at the
same time.

Turn the reeving winch switch to left, then the reeving winch is spooled up.

1. Reel off hoisting winch 1 (or 2) when spooling up the reeving winch.

2. The speed of spooling up reeving winch should be higher than the speed
of reeling off hoisting winch 1 (or 2).

4) Release the hoisting rope from the rope lock after the rope of hoisting winch 1 (or 2)
is reeved between the load hook and boom head.
0066340-200-04Y.C

(1) When the assistant guides the hoisting rope to the rope pulley on the
boom head, the crane operator must operate the reeving winch. This
procedure must be done in such a manner that the rope does not slacken
up on the winding drum.

(2) Reeving can be done manually or with the help of a reeving winch.

If the reeving winch is used, the rope on it must first be reeved in reverse
direction between the hook block and the rope pulleys on boom head and
then connected with the hoisting rope of winch 1 (or winch 2).

(3) Reeving winch and hoisting winch synchronisation

Procedure for this operation: (taking hoisting winch 1 as working winch)

1) Turn “synchronization switch” to the left “Reeve SYNC” gear, which is described as
above;

2) Push right control lever forwards and backwards, the reeving winch and hoisting
winch 1 will carry out synchronous movements, namely, reeling off hoisting winch 1
and spooling up reeving winch, or spooling up hoisting winch 1 and reeling off
reeving winch.( Push left control lever forwards and backwards, the reeving winch
and hoisting winch 2 will carry out synchronous movements. namely reeling off
hoisting winch 2 and spooling up reeving winch, or spooling up hoisting winch 2 and
reeling off reeving winch)

3) After hoisting rope is reeved well, return the “synchronization” switch to neutral
position, and remove the rope lock connecting the reeving rope and hoisting rope.
Finally wind the reeving rope onto the reeving winch.

(1) The operation mentioned above must be carried out by at least tow persons.

(2) After the hositing rope is reeved correctly between rope pulleys, the
“synchronization” switch must be returned to neutral position.
0066340-200-04Y.C

4.5.4 Operation of slewing mechanism

4.5.4.1 Component parts of slewing mechanism

The slewing mechanism consists of hydraulic motor, planetary gear reducer, brake, drive gear
and slewing ring, etc. The slewing speed can be adjusted by changing the inclination angle
of control lever.

An independent piston variable pump is applied to hydraulic system to supply oil, which can
adjust slewing speed accurately.

4.5.4.2 Operation of slewing mechanism

Note:

1. The speed range for slewing movement must be set according to the load
capacity charts.

2. Operating with high slewing speed will cause an increased risk of accidents!
Before initiating any slewing movements, the operator must make sure that there
are no persons or obstacles within slewing radius. Otherwise, there is an
increased risk of accidents. Before carry out slewing movement, an acoustic
signal should be given.

3. Heavier load - slower slewing speed;

4.5.4.3 Swing free running

If the load hook is not positioned vertically over the load’s center of gravity before lifting
operation, the operator can press the button on the left control lever to activate swing free
running mode. At this moment, the side force on the boom can be reduced, and the boom and
superstructure, under the effect of external fore, are pulled to the position where the load hook
is vertical to the load’s center of gravity. In this way, pulling the load obliquely can be avoided
and the equipment can be protected against damage.
0066340-200-04Y.C

“Swing free running” button

Left control lever

Operation of swing free running

Press the button on the left control lever, the movement “Swing free running” will be carried
out.

After hoisting rope is vertical, the movement “Swing free running” stops.

Note:

1. When carrying out the movement “Swing free running”, operate the control lever
to lift the hook at the same time. In this way, the side force will be produced on
the wire rope to make load hook vertical to the boom.

2. Before each swing of the superstructure the crane operator must personally
make sure that there are no obstacles in the crane slewing area and no person
is in the danger zone. Give a short warning signal (horn) before starting a crane
movement.

3. When slewing with a load, initiate the slewing movement very carefully. It is
prohibited to stop slewing movement or change slewing direction jerkily.

4. Longer boom - slower slewing speed;

5. Heavier load - slower slewing speed;

6. It is not permitted to slew the superstructure on the trailer.

7. In order to ensure safe operation, the customer should check slewing ring bolts
with 1800N.m tightening torque after initial 100 operating hours. Then check and
tighten them after 300 operating hours. After that, do the checks every 500
operating hours.

8. When operator has to leave the machine in traveling or transport condition,


never rely solely on the slewing brake to lock the slewing mechanism. Even
though the slewing brake is applied, the superstructure may still slew, because it
0066340-200-04Y.C

is not a positioning lock.

9. Activating slewing brake switch to lock slewing mechanism abruptly should be


avoided, since it may cause damage to the superstructure.

4.5.6 Operation of movements of crane operator’s cab

Operator’s cab movement-controlling mechanism consists of operator’s cab, swivel arm of


operator’s cab, fixing pin spindle of swivel arm, operator’s cab tilting cylinder.

The operator’s cab, an independent cabin, can make relative movement to the basic machine.
It can not only tilt forwards or backwards, but also swivel sideways. Under working condition,
the cab can not be swiveled out, but can be tilted forwards and/or backwards. Only when the
crane transfers from transport position to working position, can the cab be swiveled out.

Note:

1. Swiveling the operator’s cab to the transport condition is carried out in reverse
order.

2. Do not operate any other devices when swiveling the operator’s cab.

3. Close the door before swiveling the operator’s cab.

4. Take off the interior light on the roof of cab before swiveling the operator’s cab.
The cab should not collide with tilting-back support cylinders of main boom when
it is swiveled out.

4.5.6.2 Tilting the operator’s cab forwards/backwards

In order to enlarge the view of crane operator, the cab can tilt forwards or backwards using
tilting cylinder.

When tilting cylinder is extended completely, the cab is in horizontal position;

When tilting cylinder is retracted, the cab will tilt backwards to a maximum of 20°.

This function can be achieved by operating “Tilt cab forwards/backwards” switch in operator’s
cab, which can make cab stop and maintain at any position within the range of 0°- 20°.
0066340-200-04Y.C

a) Tilting operator’s cab backwards

When cab is horizontal, turn the “tilt cab forwards/backwards” switch to the left, then the
cab will tilt backwards. After it tilts to proper position, turn the switch to neutral position.

Operation of tilting cab backwards

Turn the “tilt cab forwards/backwards” switch on the right control panel to the left, the cab
will tilt backwards;

Turn the “tilt cab forwards/backwards” switch on the right control panel to the neutral
position, the cab will stop tilting backwards.

5.1 Safety-technical notes


5.1.1 Notes on assembly
a) Make sure that the crane complies with operating requirements. Then check the
position of A-frame, anchoring rods, WA-frame 1, WA-frame 2 and sequence of boom
intermediate sections one by one according to combination mode of boom length.

b) The hoisting rope must be reeved between the rope pulley on the main boom head and
load hook in accordance with the corresponding hoisting rope reevings specified in
Rope Reeving in chapter 4.

c) Counterweight plates must be fitted according to load capacity chart.

d) For assembly work on the crane, a safety assembly scaffolding/ working platform
should be used. Improvisations are prohibited. Otherwise, there is a danger of falling
down.

e) Remove obstacles away from the ground on the site before assembling and
dismantling. In addition, the ground on the site should be cordoned off to prevent
access by unauthorized person.

f) Assembly of the boom must be done over the front or rear of the undercarriage of the
machine; attention must be given to choose flat and solid ground to ensure proper
support of the crane.;

g) The fly jib should be assembled in accordance with the maximum permissible boom
length, and the wire rope should be installed strictly according to the hoisting rope
reevings.

h) Each dismantled part should not only satisfy the requirement of load-bearing capacity
under operating conditions, but also meet the art technology requirement of
self-assembling /dismantling operation which must be carried out strictly in accordance
with design requirement since the self-assembling /dismantling operation is a
complicated lifting process.

i) Lattice components which are not in contact with the ground during
assembly/disassembly must be supported by appropriate and stable objects.

j) Make sure that no one is standing beneath the lattice boom when the lattice boom is
pinned or unpinned.

k) Following certain disassembly principles and methods, QUY260 crawler crane can be
divided into several parts for transportation. Main parts include undercarriage centre
section, slewing table, A-frame and luffing pulley blocks, whose gross weight should be
controlled within 105840Ib. The slewing table and undercarriage centre section should
be placed in the same direction, and operator’s cab should be swung in 90°. Crawler
carrier should be transported as a whole part. Boom system can be dismembered into
boom sections and fly jib can be placed in main boom and secured with two chains
during transportation. If lattice components are not secured, the inside lattice
components will slide out and fall down which may cause severe accident.
0066340-200-05Y.C

l) For SW boom configuration:

Only when the angle of luffing jib to main boom reaches 100°(main boom angle is
larger than 65°) and the luffing jib is not attached with a load hook, can it be raised up;
to lay down the luffing jib, make sure that the angle between the main boom and luffing
jib is equal to or larger than 10° when the tilting-back supports of luffing jib are yet not
dismantled.

5.1.2 Checking safety measures

a) Clearly define the duty and area of responsibility of all personnel concerned.

b) Check whether the crane is adjusted to be horizontal.

c) Check whether there is sufficient safety clearance to slopes and trenches.

d) Check whether there are any live wires within the operating range of the crane and make
sure that any parts of the crane are not in contact with the live-wire when crane
movement is carried out.

e) Checks that appropriate operating site has been selected so that the crane movements
can be performed within maximum and minimum working radius.

f) Check whether there are obstacles which will hinder required crane operations.

g) Check whether the ground provides adequate load-bearing capacity.

h) Know clearly about the type of crane operation and working mode.

i) Check the distance between the lifting points and surrounding buildings;

j) Check influence of communal facilities(including the overhead high/low voltage lines


and underground gas pipes;

k) Check movement restrictions due to surrounding structures(e.g. is there another crane


nearby in working);

l) Check number, weight, dimensions, material of load(s) to be lifted;

m) Check required lifting height and slewing radius;

n) Check heights and widths of thoroughfares leading to the site.

o) Communication means must be agreed upon by both the signalman and crane
operator;

p) Take appropriate measures to keep people unconcerned and equipment away from the
working range;

Note:
To master the actual condition of lifting operation accurately and ensure safe operation,
the safety measures mentioned above should checked and a proper operational planning
should be carried out.
0066340-200-05Y.C

5.1.3 Inspection of wire rope, load hook, rope pulley and anchoring rods

5.1.3.1 Checking the wire ropes

The ropes must be checked by an expert before assembly and checks must be
performed at regular intervals in order to detect possible damage or wear and tear at an
early stage.

The ropes must be removed immediately if any of the following damage is detected:

a) Breakage of a strand;

b) Wire breaks;

c) reduction in the rope diameter by more than 10% of the nominal size

d) Rope deformation.

The replacement rope must comply with the original rope specifications, including length,
diameter and strength rating. The cam-type limit switch must be readjusted if a new
hoisting rope is used!

Damaged rope pulley should be repaired or changed prior to replacing wire rope;
otherwise, new wire rope will be damaged.

The inspection and maintenance of wire rope is detailed in Chapter 7.

5.1.3.1.1 A small piece of rope is cut and clipped to the dead end. This method is good for regular
rope and is approved by ASME sTANDARD B30.5. Distance S
" " should be approximately
3xrope diameter or 75mm (3in),whichever is less,please see the warning in Clause E5 for its
use.

5.1.3.2 Checking load hook

a) Check the hook for distortions; e.g., at the hook jaw;

b) Inspect all bolts and screws, and ensure all cotter pins are complete.
0066340-200-05Y.C

c) Check that the rotary connection of hook can move easily, and the clearance is not
too large;

d) Check the easy rotation of the hook: rotate the hook by hand. If it is stiff, it indicates
that the bearing has been damaged;

e) Check the safety catch for completeness and functional work;

f) Check the hook for corrosion and wear.

5.1.3.3 Checking rope pulleys

a) Check rope pulley all around for damage and cracks.

b) If rope pulleys have been hit during crane operation (for example on buildings) or if
they were subjected to other stress factors, they must be then extensively checked
for damage or cracks.

c) Check for wear on the rope groove. Replace the pulley if the bottom of the rope
pulley has been worn down more than 1/4 of the rope diameter.

d) If any damage or cracks are found, then the rope pulley must be replaced
immediately. If this is not observed, there is great danger of causing a serious
accident!

e) Check rope pulley for tight fit and shakes; Loose and shaken rope pulley indicates
that the bearing and bearing bush is damaged.

5.1.3.4 Checking anchoring rods

a) The anchoring rods should be secured well on boom frame during


transportation;

b) The anchoring rods, if removed from boom frame for transportation, must be
re-assembled according to anchoring rods configuration;

c) Check the anchoring rods for cracks, wear and corrosion;

d) The anchoring rods should be checked regularly. For the items to be checked,
please refer to the Section 7.6 “Inspection and maintenance of anchoring rods” in
Chapter 7.
0066340-200-05Y.C

5.1.4 Connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic lines with quick-release couplings

When hydraulic lines are connected or disconnected using quick-release couplings please
ensure that the coupling procedure is being performed correctly.

Requirements for a proper connection:

a) Depressurize hydraulic system before connecting and disconnecting (switch off the
engine and wait for about 5 minutes).

b) Coupling parts (cathode end and anode end) are plugged into each other and
screwed together using the hand-tightened nut.

c) Turn the hand-tightened nut over the O-ring until a firm and tight fit is attained.

d) The hydraulic couplings may only be tightened or unscrewed by hand rather than by
tools which may cause damage to couplings.

Danger: Improperly connected couplings may lead to a loss of pressure or sudden leaking,
thereby causing accidents.

5.1.5 Setting-up and taking-down

Before setting up and taking down the boom system, ensure that the following prerequisites
are met:

a) The crane is properly supported and level;

b) The counterweight plates have been attached in accordance with the load capacity
chart.

c) All limit switches has been correctly fitted and are fully operational;

d) The main boom and fly jib have been attached in accordance with the boom
configurations and operating instructions.

e) All pinned connections have been secured;

f) The hoisting rope has been correctly placed in the rope pulleys and prevented from
jumping out (from rope groove) using rope retaining pins.

g) There are no loose parts on main boom or fly jib.

h) In winter, the main boom, fly jib and associated components (limit switches, rope drums,
warming lamp, anemometer etc.) must be kept free of ice and snow.

Danger:

Incorrectly fitted or faulty limit switches and falling parts (pins, retaining pins, ice etc.) can
cause injury.
0066340-200-05Y.C

5.2 A-frame

The A-frame erecting mechanism consists of A-frame, erection cylinder and auxiliary
hydraulic system, etc. it is mainly used for the assembly, dismantling or conversion of the
machine on the site. Erect the A-frame by the erection cylinder to the upper tilt point at
approximately 110° (the angle of A-frame to the front horizontal line is 70°). When A-frame
tilts forwards under its own weight, the main boom derricking winch is simultaneously
operated in a lowering direction until A-frame reaches 165° (the angle of A-frame to the front
horizontal line is 15°). Under this condition, the A-frame erecting mechanism can be used to
connect anchoring rods and used as a mounting crane.

The function of A-frame erecting mechanism:

a) Serving as a mounting crane

— After the A-frame is tilts forwards to a required position, the boom sections, and
0066340-200-05Y.C

crawler carriers and individual counterweight plate can be lifted by the mounting
cylinder on A-frame. in the process of self assembly & dismantling, the A-frame
erecting mechanism serves as a mounting crane, whose maximum lifting capacity
is 55125Ib in 16′4″working range;

b) Serving as a component of derricking mechanism

— The derricking mechanism of the crane is composed of A-frame and the boom frame,
the A-frame is therefore an integral part of the derricking mechanism.

5.2.1 Connecting the hydraulic lines to mounting cylinder on A-frame

The hydraulic lines to mounting cylinder are connected as follows:

a) The quick-release coupling is a hydraulic connector consisting of a cathode end


(internal thread) and an anode end (external thread).

b) To connect the hydraulic lines, the operator just need to plug the anode end of
quick-release coupling into the cathode end of it.

c) To distinguish between the two quick-release couplings of the same type, on the
mounting plate are often installed a cathode end of one coupling and an anode end of
the other coupling.

Two quick-release couplings are fitted on the left arm of A-frame(see following diagram)

Position of quick-releasing coupling in A-frame:

Mounting balance valve installation position of quick-release coupling

Quick-release coupling
0066340-200-05Y.C

Anode end of quick-release coupling Cathode end of quick-release coupling

Plug the anode end of quick-release coupling to its cathode end.

Caution:

When hydraulic lines are connected and disconnected using quick-release couplings,
please ensure that the coupling procedure is being performed correctly.

Requirements for a proper connection:

1. Depressurize hydraulic system before connecting and disconnecting. Turn off engine and
wait for 5 minutes.

2. Coupling parts (cathode end and anode end) are plugged into each other and screwed

Caution:

1. The control lever code and control panel code appeared in this chapter are detailed in section
4.1 “Control and operating instruments” of chapter 4 “Crane Operation”

2. The operation mentioned above should be performed by two persons. One worker gives
guidance (watch the A-frame, erection cylinder and rope guiding condition on the derricking
winch), while another worker operates.

5.2.2.2 Erecting A-frame

Note: before operation, make sure that derricking rope is reeved between derricking pulley
block on A-frame and that on slewing table and sit well in the derricking pulley block.

a) Turn switch (57) in operator’s cab to the left or push up “A-frame erecting/lowering”
switch on the auxiliary remote control box, the erection cylinder will extend to erect
A-frame from 0°position upwards until the derricking rope between the slewing table
and the derricking pulley block is tensioned, and then move the right control lever (27)
to the right to reel off the derricking winch.

b) After A-frame is erected to 110° position, return the switch (57) or “A-frame
erecting/lowering” switch on the auxiliary remote control box to neutral position, and
then the erection cylinder will stop movement. At this time, A-frame tilts forwards under
its own weight, and the derricking winch is reeled off simultaneously.

c) When A-frame tilts forwards under its own weight to 165° limit position, return the right
control lever(27) to neutral position to stop the movement of “reel off the derricking
winch ”
0066340-200-05Y.C

Caution:

1. A-frame movement limit should not be exceeded; otherwise, the crane is likely to topple
over.

2. A-frame position can be adjusted within its movement limit depending on different
working requirements.

3. No slack must be allowed to develop in derricking rope when A-frame is in motion.

5.2.2.3 Lowering A-frame

a) Move the right control lever (27) to the left to spool up the derricking winch, and the
A-frame will be raised backwards.

b) After A-frame is raised by the derricking rope to 110° position, turn the switch (54) in
operator’s cab to the right or push down “A-frame erecting/lowering” switch on the
auxiliary remote control box, the erection cylinder will retract, and A-frame will also
retract.

c) When the erection cylinder and A-frame return to original or required position, return the
switch (57) in operator’s cab or “A-frame erecting/lowering” switch on the auxiliary
remote control box to neutral position, and then the erection cylinder will spot motion. At
the same time, move the right control lever (27) to neutral position to stop the
movement of “spool up the derricking winch”.

Caution:

1. No person may stand underneath A-frame as long as A-frame is moving; otherwise there is a
risk of injury.

2. No slack must be allowed to develop in derricking rope when A-frame is in motion.

undercarriage centre section should be greased.
0066340-200-05Y.C

5.3.4 Connecting the hydraulic lines to the crawler carrier

There are 8 hydraulic lines in total led out from the left and right sides of undercarriage
centre section, which are respectively connected to the left and right crawler carrier. Take
the hydraulic connection to the left crawler carrier for example:

Connect hydraulic lines to two crawler carriers via quick-release couplings:

The quick-release coupling is a hydraulic connector consisting of a cathode end (internal


thread) and an anode end (external thread). Plug the anode end of a quick-release coupling
to the cathode end of it, the hydraulic connection can then be established.

To distinguish between the two quick-release couplings of the same type, a cathode end of
one coupling and an anode end of the other coupling are often installed on the mounting
plate.

Note:

When hydraulic lines are connected and disconnected using quick-release couplings,
please ensure that the coupling procedure is being performed correctly.

Requirements for a proper connection:

1. Depressurize hydraulic system before connecting and disconnecting. Turn off engine and
wait for 5 minutes.

2. Coupling parts (cathode end and anode end) are plugged into each other and screwed
together using the hand-tightened nut.

3. Turn the hand-tightened nut over the O-ring until a firm and tight fit is attained.

4. The couplings may only be tightened by hand rather than by tools which will cause
damage to coupling.

Danger:

Improperly connected couplings may lead to a loss of pressure or sudden leaking, thereby
causing accidents.

e) The dismantling of counterweight plates is carried out in the reverse order to assembling.

Caution:

1. When stacking the counterweight plate on top of one another, align the upper
counterweight plate over the circular prominences at the two sides of the lower
counterweight plate and secure well.

2. In any condition, the assembling and dismantling of counterweight plates should be


carried out by more than two persons. A person is not permitted to perform this
operation. When extending or retracting the counterweight cylinders, make sure that the
counterweight base plate is level and synchronous at any time. When inclination
situation occurs, the operator should synchronize them immediately through controlling
the movement of one cylinder.

3. In the process of self assembly& dismantling, A-frame can only be used to lift one
counterweight plate at a time.

Principle for assembling main boom: when connecting main boom intermediate sections,
always bolt the shorter intermediate sections first.

Danger:
1. Pin different boom sections strictly in accordance with main boom assembly table.
2. The operator should not stand inside the boom or beneath it when the boom sections are
pinned.

5.7.1.2 Connecting the hydraulic lines to luffing winch(if luffing winch is used)

Connect the hydraulic lines to A-frame via quick-release coupling.


Connect the hydraulic lines to luffing winch:
There is a mounting plate for quick-release coupling at the front left side of slewing table. It is
used to establish hydraulic connection to luffing winch. The coupling procedure of hydraulic
lines is shown in following figure.
Hydraulic lines connecting diagram:
Quick-release coupling
0066340-200-05Y.C

Anode end of quick-release coupling Cathode end of quick-release coupling

The quick-release coupling is a hydraulic connector consisting of a cathode end (internal


thread) and an anode end (external thread).

To connect the hydraulic lines, the operator just needs to plug the anode end of quick-release
coupling into the cathode end of it.

To distinguish between the two quick-release couplings of the same type, on the mounting
plate are often installed a cathode end of one coupling and an anode end of the other
coupling.
The mounting plate for quick-release coupling is installed on the left side of boarding (see
following fig.) on the mounting plate are fixed five ends of five quick-release couplings, and
the rest five ends are fixed on the left side plate of bottom section of A-frame.

Note:
The part number of main boom anchoring rods given in Section 5.7.1.3 “combination of main
boom anchoring rods” is consistent with that in the above table, so the component parts of
anchoring rods can be found by referring to the part number.

Principle for determining the length of main boom anchoring rods:


When basic boom is 65′7″ long, the length of main boom anchoring rods is 56′1″;
When main boom length increases by 9′10″, a 0′11″-long double anchoring rod(8) and a
8′10″-long single anchoring rod(9) should be added accordingly.
When main boom length increases by 19′8″, a 0′11″-long double anchoring(8) rod and a
18′8″-long single anchoring rod(6) should be added accordingly.
When main boom length increases by 29′6″, two 0′11″-long double anchoring rods(8) and a
8′10″-long single anchoring rod(9) as well as a 18′8″-long single anchoring rod(6)should be added
accordingly.
The width of main boom anchoring rods is 2.6″, and the diameter of pin spindle is φ2″.

ground, while moving the right control lever (27) in 45° direction, press the
“simultaneously operation ” button(29)at the same time until main boom reaches 30°
position. When the main boom reaches 30° position, the “assembly mode” will
automatically be changed into “operating mode”. Then return the right control lever (27) to
0066340-200-05Y.C

neutral position.

b) Continue to move the right control lever (27) to left until the main boom is erected to
required position.

Caution:

1. The main boom angle can be changed between 0° to 85°. When main boom is
raised to 80°, acoustic warning will be given out, but main boom can still be
derricked up. And when main boom is raised to 83°, the movement of derricking
boom up will be switched off automatically along with warning being sent out, but
the main boom can still be derricked up by pressing the “bypass key button”(54).
However, when main boom is raised to 85° position, the movement of derricking
0066340-200-05Y.C

boom up will be switched off automatically along with warning being sent out.
Under this condition, even though “bypass key button” is pressed, the main boom
can not be raised any further.

2. Always monitor the wire rope in process of erecting main boom to make sure that
the wire rope is kept in the rope groove all the time.

3. The boom-raising movement should be performed slowly and stably. And during
the operation, the crane operator must observe the data shown on the display,
while other workers must observe the surrounding areas for potential dangers.

4. Standing beneath the boom frame is prohibited.

5. Working radius stipulated in the Load Capacity Charts should be adhered to, even
if no load is attached on the load hook! Non-observance of it is likely to cause the
crane turnover.

5.8.5 lowering and disassembling the main boom

5.8.5.1 Lowering main boom

a) Move the right control lever (27) to the right to reel derricking winch off, and then the
main boom will be lowered gradually. When the main boom is lowered to 30° position,
return the control lever (27) to neutral position.

b) Push the right control lever(27) forwards to reel off hoisting winch 1 to lower stably the
load hook on the ground;

c) Move the right control lever (27) to the right until the main boom head comes into contact

in the load capacity charts;

f) Make sure that an auxiliary crane is available and operating personnel get full prepared
and qualified for operation;

g) Change the “operating mode” to “assembly mode”.

Caution:

1. After the “operating mode” is changed to “assembly mode”, all safety device built in the
crane will be deactivated, the assembly, dismantling of the machine should therefore be
carried out with utmost care.

2. For assembly work on the crane, a safety assembly working platform should be used.
Improvisations are prohibited. Otherwise, there is a danger of falling down.

3. Any other boom configurations and anchoring rod combination that have not been
stipulated in the operating manual are prohibited.

4. Always bolt on the shorter intermediate sections first!

5. If the main boom head is lifted by an auxiliary crane, at least two pieces of lifting chain
with a breaking force≥15t should be used.

6. Do not stand on the lattice boom when it is assembled.

7. The use of squared timbers or pad block to support the chord in the middle position or
web members is prohibited; otherwise the boom sections will be damage.

8. Do not stand beneath the boom when it is being pinned or unpinned!

--unwound wipe rope off winch 1 by pushing right control lever (27) forwards

When luffing jib is erected by luffing winch,

-- turn “boom configuration” switch to “Main boom” position;

-- Slowly raise main boom by moving the right control lever (27) to the left;

--after main boom is raised to a proper position, turn “boom configuration” switch to
“Luffing jib” position;

--unwind luffing rope off luffing winch properly through moving right control lever (27) to
the right.

Carry out the movements “Raise main boom” and “unwind luffing rope” repeatedly and
ensure that the luffing jib head is running with the running wheels on the ground. when the
angle between main boom and luffing jib reaches 90°, move right control lever (27) to
neutral position to stop erecting.

Note:
1. The total weight of luffing jib should be loaded on the running wheel.

2. Check whether the wire rope on luffing winch is slack.

3. In no circumstances can the angle between the main boom and luffing jib be
smaller than 90°. Otherwise, the luffing jib head and luffing jib may be damaged.

4. Wire rope should be checked and guided by an appointed person to prevent it


0066340-200-05Y.C

from being damaged due to crush.


0066340-200-05Y.C

c) - Turn the “boom configuration” switch to “main boom” position, and then move right
control lever (27) to the left to raise the boom. When luffing jib head is lifted to a proper
position, place the selected load hook under the luffing jib head.

- At this time, turn the “reeving winch” rotary switch (60) on the right control panel (4) to
the right, or push the “reeving winch control” switch on auxiliary remote control box
downwards, to unwind the rope of reeving winch and reeve it in the reverse direction
between rope pulleys on luffing jib head and load hook, finally attach it to hoisting rope

2. When main boom angle is 75°, the luffing jib angle can be adjusted from 15° to 65°.

3. When main boom angle is 65°, the luffing jib angle can be adjusted from 15° to 55°.

4. When boom angle varies from 65°to 75°or 75°to 85°, we should determine the
corresponding smaller value in the chart as the rated lifting capacity. In order to give full
play to the crane’s performance, please operate the crane under the operating
conditions with three prescribed boom angles.

5. Under crane operation with main boom and luffing jib (with main boom angle of 85°):
when luffing jib angle exceeds 60°, the luffing jib with a load should not be
raised/lowered at high speed. And the load should be the min. lifting capacity under this
boom configuration; otherwise the luffing jib is liable to overturning. Before the load is
detached from the hook, lower the luffing jib to a position less than 60° by the pulling
force of load.

5.9.3.4 Lowering main boom with luffing jib

a) Push left control lever (17) forwards to reel off hoisting winch 2 so as to lower the load
hook. After the load hook is lowered on the ground, it must be moved away from the
position where the boom will lowered;

b) Push right control lever (27) forwards to operate winch 1 in the lowering direction to lower
luffing jib (or move right control lever (27) to the right to lower luffing jib If luffing jib is
lowered with luffing winch.) when the angle between luffing jib and main boom reaches
90°, return right control lever (27) to neutral position to make luffing jib stop moving.

c) Turn the “boom configuration” switch to “main boom” position, and then move right control
lever (27) to the right to lower main boom until the luffing jib head touches the ground with
the running wheels.

Caution:
1. In the lowering process, when main boom is lowered to 65° position, the “operating
mode” must be changed to “assembly mode”.

2. In the process of lowering main boom, the winch 1 must be reeled off to avoid the
hook’s collision with the pulley head.

3. Standing within danger area of crane during operation is prohibited!

4. The boom-lowering movement should be performed slowly and stably. And during
the operation, the crane operator must observe the data shown on the display, while
other workers must observe the surrounding areas for potential dangers.

inadvertent motion by brakes, pawls, or other means.
m) Lower the boom to the ground, if possible, or otherwise secure against dropping.
n) Relieve hydraulic oil pressure from all hydraulic circuits before loosening or removing

hydraulic components.

6.1.1.2 Notes on crane maintenance and service

a) Set up the warning board during maintenance

Before carrying out the inspection and maintenance, put a warning board marked
“Never start engine during inspection and maintenance.” on the ignition starter switch.

b) Use clean lubricating grease

The room for storing lubricating grease must be kept clean. Never allow dust and
water to enter into container. Ensure that the used lubricating grease is not mixed with
water.

c) Keep machine clean


Clean the machine to make operator easy to check whether some abnormal
phenomena occur such as oil leakage, crack and loosing of connector. Especially
keep the grease nipple, air vent and oil dipstick clean.
0066340-200-06Y.C

Note:

1. After cleaning the machine, lubricate the propeller shafts and rotary parts.

2. The steering wheel, operating desk, control panel and floor inside the operator’s cab
must only be washed by warm water with cleaning agent.

3. Never use a corrosive cleaning agent.

d) Oil clean up

When adding or changing fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricating grease, or when replacing
the filter cartridge, the oil will be spouted out. At this moment, wipe off oil to prevent a
fire.

e) Never spray water on the electric elements and the fittings when washing the
machine.

f) Prevent a fire

The rubbish attached with oil stain or other flammable substances must be placed in a
safe place. Know about the position of fire extinguisher and master its use methods.

g) Pay attention to the rotary parts


0066340-200-06Y.C

When checking the fan belt or the water pump, the operator could be hurt. Therefore,
he should first switch off engine, and then check the belt or the water pump.

h) Pay attention to the water temperature and the oil temperature

It is very dangerous to drain water, oil or replace filter cartridge immediately after the
engine stops. This operation must be done only when the temperature of engine has
fallen down. If the oil temperature is too low, heat oil to make its temperature reach
20~50℃, and then drain the oil.

i) Check waste oil and old filter cartridge

Check if there has metallic bits or impurities when changing the oil or filter cartridge.

j) Prevent dust from entering

The dismantled hydraulic pipes and hydraulic elements must be protected by plugs or
sealing covers to avoid dust entering into these pipes and elements.
0066340-200-06Y.C

k) Clean joint face

After dismantling O ring or other washer, clean the sealing surface and replace the
sealing elements with new ones. During assembly, apply oil on the sealing elements.

l) Pay attention to pressure inside

As there is pressure produced in the hydraulic system, air compressing system and
fuel system, the operator must release pressure first before dismantling their pipelines,
fittings and other components.

m) Notes when carrying out welding operation

Cut off power supply; disconnect power lead of battery; never constantly apply the
voltage more than 200v; set up the grounding device away from the welding point 1m.
Never install the sealing device or bearing between the welding point and the
grounding point. Before carrying out welding operation in the vicinity of load moment
limiter or controller, demount them first to prevent them against damage.

n) Deal with waste oil

First drain waste oil into a container, and then deal with it according to the
requirements for industry discharge substances.

o) Unauthorized personnel are prohibited to maintain the crane and replace the parts.
0066340-200-06Y.C

6.1.2 Requirements for crane inspection

In order to know about the working conditions of crawler crane and its components, please
carry out inspection in accordance with the following requirements. Inspect them before the
crane is working for the first time, after the crane has not been used for a long time, or before
the crane is working for the first time after maintenance. The inspection result list refers to
attached table.

a) Check the daily record of work to ensure that all regular inspections, maintenance and
repair work is performed.

b) Check lowering limiter, boom angle indicator, tilting-back supports and other safety
devices for functional work.

c) Check the load-bearing parts carefully, such as wire rope (hoisting rope, derricking rope
and sling etc.), boom frame, support cylinders and load hook.

d) Check if there are some bolts, nuts and pins lost, and the components are cracked or
damaged.

e) Ensure that no modification has been made to the crane without permission, e.g.,
increase or decrease in counterweight plates, and improper repair of boom frame.

f) Check the fuel lines and the hydraulic oil lines for leakage.

g) Check if the values shown on instruments are correct after starting up the engine.

h) Check if control mechanisms are working normally.

i) Check brake and clutch. Test the braking performance by lifting a load away from the
ground and holding it in the air for a moment.

Maintenance for slewing ring:

a) When slewing ring leaves from the factory, a little No.2 extreme pressure lithium
base grease (GB7323-1994) is applied on the inside of roller. The user can supply
new lubricating grease according to different working conditions.

b) Generally speaking, lubricate ball-type slewing ring every 100 hours, and roller-type
slewing ring every 50 hours. However, when slewing ring is running continuously
under adverse circumstances (e.g., high moisture, full of dust, considerable change
in temperature), it must be lubricated every week.

Supply enough lubricating grease before or after the machine stops working for a
long time.

Supply lubricating grease to the inside the roller of slewing ring until the grease flows
out from the sealing positions. When supplying lubricating grease, run the slewing
ring slowly to apply the lubricating grease evenly.

c) Clean the surface of slewing ring teeth and apply lubricating grease every 10 days.

Since the working conditions of slewing ring are complicated, the user can adopt the
optimum lubricating grease according to actual conditions.

d) Check the pre-tightening force of fixing bolts after the slewing ring is operated for
100 hours. And check them again after 500 operating hours to ensure sufficient
pre-tightening force. Generally speaking, change the bolts after 14000 operating
hours or 7 service years.

e) Pay attention to the running condition of slewing ring during operation. If noise
becomes loud, impact force and power increase suddenly, check the vehicle
immediately and eliminate the failures. If necessary, dismantling of the vehicle is
also needed.

f) The slewing ring in use should not be exposed to strong sunlight. Never wash the
slewing ring directly using water in order to prevent the water from entering the roll
path. Precautions are taken against hard objects from approaching to or entering
the meshing area.

g) Check sealing strip regularly. The sealing strip, if damaged, should be changed, and
0066340-200-06Y.C

if falls off, should be retuned to original position.

9) Crawler

Check crawler for tension and wear.

Caution:

1. If track shoes are connected with each other tightly, they will be worn out quickly so as to
make connecting elements broken. On the other hand, if they are connected loosely, the
crawler will fall off from drive sprocket and driven sprocket.

2. It is normal that the crawler tension length varies from 10mm to 20mm. As long as
crawler travels the same distance forward as its length, the upper crawler will appear a
certain degree of relaxation.

6.3.3 Maintain and inspect undercarriage every 3 months or every 250 hours

10) Drive sprocket, driven sprocket,track roller,track-carrier roller

Check them for leaks and damage.

11) Mounting bolt for slewing bearing

Check mounting bolt for tight fit.

Note:
If the bolt looses, demount it for check. If it is damaged, replace it. If the demounted
bolt is not damaged, wipe it clean, grease NO. 242 LOCTITE glue (or similar glue)
on it and then screw it down with 2.8KN.m (2060ft-lbs) tightening torque.

6.3.4 Maintain and inspect undercarriage every 6 months or every 600 hours

12) Undercarriage centre section

Check undercarriage centre section and crawler carrier for crack and damage.

Note:
If uncertain failures are found during inspection or maintenance, please contact local
service station of Mobile Crane Branch Company of Zoomlion.

inspected every day (begin with alternate operation). Carefully observe any deficiencies
that may impair safety in operational period. Do not use load hook 1 and 2 until the
deficiencies are overcome.

Daily check and maintenance include following contents:

a. Wipe load hook 1 and 2 clean;

b. Lubricate rope pulley (when equipped with grease nipple), rotary part and other
parts which are mentioned in “Lubrication Guide”, and equipped with grease nipple;

c. Check all bolts and screws, and ensure all cotter pins are complete;

d. Check whether the groove and flange of rope pulley are abraded evenly, and
inspect whether rope pulley is fitted tightly; if not, it means bearing or bearing bush
are damaged;

e. Check that the rotary connection of load hook can move easily, and the clearance is
not too large. If hook rotates stiffly, it means the bearing and bearing bush are
damaged or lubricated insufficiently;

f. Check load hook for easy rotation: rotate the hook by hand. If it is stiff, it indicates
that the bearing has been damaged;

g. Check the load hook 1 is damaged due to overloading: side plate and diameter of
bore are extended, and bolt is bended, extended or cracked;

h. Check the rope fixation for wear and wire breaks. Check the rope lock for crack and
tighten the bolt on the rope clamp;

i. Check safety catch is in perfect condition;

6.6 Instructions for lubrication and oil change

6.6.1 Hydraulic oil

When crane is delivered to you from the factory ready for operation, it is supplied with hydraulic
oil GB 11118.1-94(The hydraulic oil used in the crane now corresponds with ESSO NUTO H32
hydraulic oil.) or low condensed hydraulic oil L-HV32. The volume is of 800 liter.

Note:

The product is full hydraulic driven. The quality, viscosity and cleanliness of
hydraulic oil are the most important factors to crane’s functional working. The
customer’s ignoring replacing hydraulic oil in time will bring on various kinds of
malfunctions and reduce its service life greatly. Our company will not take the
responsibility for all the consequences caused by customers failing to comply with
the requirement stipulated in this manual to replace and filter hydraulic oil.

6.6.1.1 Oil checks and oil change interval

The normal oil change interval is 2000 operating hours. If hydraulic oil is obviously polluted,
it must be changed in time without considering operating hour. The inspected item and oil
change interval are shown in following table.
0066340-200-06Y.C

Caution:

1. If crane starts in cold area, it should first run without load for a while. After the lowest
working temperature is reached, the load can be added gradually and the system can
work.

2. The oil property should be identical with that of the original brand when changing oil. The
original oil should be washed away thoroughly. The hydraulic oil of different types and
different brands can not be mixed together!

3. The domestic brand of hydraulic oil mainly includes Kunlun, the Great Wall, Tongyi,
Haibrand, Daqing, Hengyun, Guta, Jiali, Jiarun, Haili, etc. and foreign brand such as
ESSO, Mobil, etc. are also available in china.

4. If you find any special operating conditions which are not listed in the above table,
please consult the related departments of our company.

5. Check and measure oil temperature of system at any time!

6. The suitable oil temperature for hydraulic system in working condition is 20℃ to 80℃.
The 85℃ may occur for a short time or in some position.

7. When the oil temperature is too high (nearly 100°), pay attention to the cooling of
system. The working load should not be too heavy and the working frequency should not
be too high.

6.6.1.4 Procedure for changing oil

First change hydraulic oil in the tank. Drain hydraulic oil from the tank, and then
dismember the master oil return pipe. Clean the tank and the oil filter carefully. First clean
them by using the chemical cleaning agent of solid particle pollution grade less than
18/15. After airing, wash them with the clean hydraulic oil of solid particle pollution grade
less than 18/15 and then add new hydraulic oil after draining off oil.

Actuate engine and run it at low speed to let the oil pump start to control mechanisms.
0066340-200-06Y.C

Use new hydraulic oil to drain used oil out of every circuit in the system until the new oil
flows out of the master oil return pipe. The used oil is not allowed to return to the
hydraulic oil tank. At this time, the oil pump stops running. While the used oil in each
return line is changed, the new oil should be added into hydraulic oil tank continuously to
prevent the oil pump from inhaling air.

Connect master oil return pipe with oil tank, make each component to initial state and add
hydraulic oil to oil tank until the oil level reaches prescribed position.

Note:

1. Filter or change hydraulic oil in time whenever it is polluted seriously.

2. Select proper hydraulic oil according to ambient temperature.

3. Hydraulic oil of different brands can not be mixed.

4. Service life of hydraulic oil can not exceed 24 months. The hydraulic oil can not
be used even though it is filtered, if it has been used for 24 months.

6.6.1.5 Temperature of hydraulic oil

Observe the temperature of hydraulic oil from the scale on the liquid temperature meter,
and the highest temperature of hydraulic oil is 80°C.

6.6.1.6 Volume of hydraulic oil

When crane is in traveling condition, inspect oil level. Observe the temperature and the
level of hydraulic oil from the scale on the liquid temperature meter. The scale of 0°C is the
lowest oil level. So when oil level is below this line, top crane up with oil.

6.6.1.7、Air exhaust of hydraulic system

Prior to the initial starting of engine or after the oil changing of hydraulic system, remove
the upward oil drain plug on the motor and main hydraulic pump, and add oil with an oiler,
then tighten the oil drain plug, finally restart engine.

If the engine has not worked for more than a day, the hydraulic system must be deaerated
after engine starts. To exhaust the air in hydraulic system, you should first run the engine at
low speed of less than 1000rpm for 10 minutes and keep the motor in low-load(or no- load)
condition and then operate the mechanisms of crane in proper order for 3-4 times.

6.6.2 Gear oil

Use gear oil recommended in this manual. Before crane leaves the factory, such devices as
hoisting winch reducer, derricking winch reducer, slewing reducer and reeving winch have
0066340-200-06Y.C

already been filled with L-CKD220 industrial closed gear oil. The power divider of drive gear
has been filled with GL-5 85W/90 heavy-duty vehicle gear oil.

Caution:

1. If gear oil is polluted seriously, replace it at once even though it has not reached the oil
change interval.

2. Often check oil level. If necessary, add oil.

3. The gear oil of different brands can not be mixed!

4. Use proper gear oil according to ambient temperature, since unqualified gear oil or gear
oil with improper viscosity will damage reducer mechanism.

Note: The gear oil volume is about 6.6 L.

c) Change gear oil of transfer case

1) Volume of lubricating oil:

There is volume of lubricating oil on name plate of transfer case for reference. However, the
oil level must be subject to the mark left on oil dipstick. Therefore, the inspector should check
oil level with oil dipstick according to the specified requirements. After adding oil to transfer
case for the first time, the inspector should check oil level when power is started for 15mins
to 30mins. If oil is going down, add oil to specified position.

2) Changing lubricating oil:

Generally speaking, change lubricating oil after first 200 operating hours. After that, change
lubricating oil after 2000 operating hours or 12 months at least.

Chapter 7 Crane inspections
0066340-200-07Y.C

7.1 General

Initial Inspection. Prior to initial use, all new and altered cranes shall be inspected by a

qualified person to verify compliance according to local rules.

The crane has been tested by manufacturer’s facilities prior to shipment


The safety level achieved during initial commissioning may not be attainable during operation.
Examples of the root cause of such deviation include; e.g., wear and tear, corrosion, effects of
forced operations, changes in the environment and changes to the mode of operation. The
operator is responsible for taking the necessary steps to ensure that the maximum level of
safety is maintained. For that reason, the crane must be inspected by a competent inspector,
depending on application situations and the operating condition, at least once a year, counting from the
day of initial service.

The crane must be inspected by a competent inspector, depending on the application situations
and the operating conditions, at least once a year, counting from the day of initial service.

Before operating the crane, a visual inspection must be performed to prevent accidents by
detecting deficiencies in a timely fashion.

Any deficiencies determined by the inspector must be documented, corrected, and


subsequently re-inspected.

Note:

1. When significant changes are made to the crane or repairs are made to the load bearing
parts, the operator must have the crane inspected by a competent inspector before putting
it into service.

2. National and local regulations must be observed.

3. A competent inspector is someone who has a thorough understanding of crane based on


technical training and experience and is knowledgeable about the relevant regulations, e.g.
labor laws, OSHA regulations, accident prevention regulations and generally accepted
engineer principles and is able to assess that the crane is safe to operate(they are specially
trained personnel).

4. A competent engineer is someone who engages in the designing, manufacturing and


servicing crane and is knowledgeable about all the relevant regulations and standards, and
is a position to judge whether the crane functions normally through inspection so as to
ensure long-term safe operation.

A number of important examples of items that are particularly important during crane
re-inspections are listed in the following. Adhere to the following inspection guidelines and
intervals; otherwise, serious accident may occur.
0066340-200-07Y.C

7.2 Inspection of steel bearing structures

Steel bearing components such as boom must be carefully inspected at least once a year. Even
though weld joints are not normally situated at maximum load locations, it is nevertheless
important that they should be inspected with particular care during the periodic inspections.
If the crane was subjected to excessive operating loads, for example an unusual shock or
impact, the load bearing components must be inspected immediately.

If damage (e.g., cracks) is found in any part of the steel structure, the total extend of the
damage must be determined by qualified specialists using appropriate material test methods,
such as magnetic crack detection, ultrasound or X-ray. The specialists should then advise
whether or not the damaged area can be repaired by welding or other means.

The welds or steel structural zones that require inspection may be present more than once and
in various forms. The joints or zones must be inspected all around at the locations identified by
arrows.

Note:

The scope and extent of all inspections remain the sole responsibility of the inspectors.

The following diagrams are provided to assist the inspector. The diagrams are only examples
and are not necessarily 100% complete!

7.3 Inspection of hosting and luffing winches

The hoisting and luffing winches and slewing reducer are designed using integrated planetary
gears. The gears are designed for long service life and the drive shaft and drive gear are rated
for endurance. Even though these gears are designed for long service life, an external visual
inspection is not adequate, since their life can be significantly affected by bad maintenance
(insufficient oil), defective seals, improper operation or overuse. The inspection must therefore
be carried out by a competent inspector in accordance with the following guidelines.

7.3.1 Inspections

a) Inspection intervals

Every 1000 operating hours, at least once a year(annually)

b) Inspecting oil level


Check oil level. For hoisting and luffing winches, we recommend that the oil be drained and
the amount compared to the specified oil quantity.
c) Checking oil color
Assume that the oil has been overheated if it is black and/or a burnt oil smell is detected. In
this case, the oil must be changed.
d) Checking for foreign substances
This inspection should be carried out in a qualified laboratory. The used oil shall be dribbled
onto the specified filter medium. The oil sample is visually checked under a microscope for
foreign particles. If any particles are detected, the oil must then be sent to a qualified
laboratory and analyzed to determine the makeup of the particles.
e) Evaluation of foreign substances found in the oil
1) The maximum permissible quantity of foreign material measured by weight is 0.15%
of total oil weight.
2) maximum permissible foreign particle size from fine abrasion is 0.229mm。
3) If above values are exceeded, the gearbox must be dismantled to determine the root
cause of increased contamination and then the gearbox should be refilled with fresh
oil.

Caution:
These repairs may only be carried out by specialists with appropriate equipment
knowledge.
f) Visual inspection
The drive devices shall be checked for leakage, since any loss of oil, in addition to polluting
the environment, can lead to gearbox failure.
g) Inspection the drive device breaks.
Check the brakes at the same check the drive devices.
0066340-200-07Y.C

If the brakes cannot hold the specified test load of 33% rope tension increase on a single
rope strand and fully spooled drum, they shall be dismantled to determine the cause.
Whenever a planetary gearbox is dismantled because of increased contamination, the
brakes shall also be inspected.

Caution:
Only qualified personnel with specialized knowledge can inspect the gearboxes and
brakes.
h) Documenting the completed inspection
The results of the annual inspections and maintenance work, including all competed tasks,
shall be documented by the competent inspector, if necessary, and signed off by inspection
station or specialty shop.

7.3.2 Requirements for monitoring the winches

a) Theoretical service life


Crane winches are classified according to FEM98 as follows:
Drive group: M2
Load collective: L1
Load collective factor: 0.125
Theoretical service life D: 1600 hours

Caution: the “theoretical service life” is not equal to the real (true) life of a winch.

The actual life of a winch is affected by many additional outside factors, for example:

1) Overloads: because the crane was not used as intended.


2) Inadequate maintenance: oil is not changed at the proper intervals
3) Improper operation: excessive acceleration or deceleration of load; load falling onto
the cables;
4) Improper maintenance:
--Using the wrong type of oil
--Too much or too little oil
--Contamination during oil change
5) Assembly errors during repair and maintenance
6) Undetected oil leakage
7) Improperly set safety devices
8) Hidden damage from accidents
9) Extreme environmental conditions:
--extremely low or high temperatures
0066340-200-07Y.C

--corrosive atmosphere
--dust and dirt

b) Used portion of theoretical service life


The crane operator is obligated to have the crane inspected at least once a year.
The used portion of theoretical service life must also be determined. If necessary, the
crane operator can subcontract this work to an authorized inspector.
The actual operating conditions (load collective) and the winch operating hours at each
inspection interval are required to determine the proportion of the theoretical service life
that has actually been used. The operator is responsible to have it documented in the
crane inspection log.
c) Determining the operating condition (load collective)
The load collective of the crane is classified into groups, please refer to FEM9.5.11.

Note: For mobile cranes in assembly operation, we normally use the load collective

d) Determining the effective operating hours Ti


The control system of the crane can record the operating hours of engine which can be
read directly from the display. For mobile cranes used in assembly operations, the
0066340-200-07Y.C

operating time for the superstructure can be estimated at 60% of the total operating hours
of the crane. If the hoist winch proportions is estimated at 20% of the superstructure
operating hours, the resulting hours as a percent of the total crane operating hours is:
12%.

Note:

The percentage staged above normally applies to main hoist winches. For auxiliary hoist
winches or lufffing winches, the proportion of the total operating hours can be significantly less
and should therefore be estimated by the operator.

e) Determining the actual used portion of the theoretical service life


The actually used proportion Si of the theoretical service life is given by the following
formula:
kmi
Si = ———— × Ti
km
Where,
km = Load collective factor that was used to select the winch ratings. This factor is
given in the operating manual.
kmi = load collective factor for inspection interval i
Ti = effective operating hours for inspection interval i
The actually used hour proportion is subtracted from the remaining theoretical service life
Di after each inspection interval (see example).
If the remaining theoretical service life is not long enough to cover the next operating
period, a general overhaul of the winch is required.
If the theoretical service life D has been reached, the winch may only be operated after
conducting a general overhaul.

Note:

1. A general overhaul of the winch is required not later than 10 years after putting the crane into
service
2. The general overhaul shall be arranged by operator and carried out by the manufacturer or the
manufacturer’s authorized representatives and must be documented in the inspection log.
Example
According to the manufacturer’s operating manual, a mobile crane with a separate elapsed
time meter for the crane engine and the crane drive is classified as follows:
Drive gear group: M2
Load collective: light L1, km = 0.125
theoretical service life: D = 1600 h
0066340-200-07Y.C

Actual used proportion S of the theoretical service life is calculated using the individual
inspection intervals as follows:
First inspection (year 1)
The crane was used for assembly work during the past year:
Load collective L1, which means km1 = 0.125.
The hour meter for crane engine indicates 1800 hours. The winch operated about 12% of the
time, i.e. T1=216.
The actual used proportion S of the theoretical service life at the time of the first inspection is
therefore:
0.125
S1 = ————× 216 h =216 h.
0.125
Remaining theoretical service life:
D1 = 1600 h – 216 h = 1384 h

Second inspection (year 2)


Load collective L2, which means km2 = 0.25.
The hour meter for crane engine indicates 3400 hours, i.e. during this period:
3400-1800 h=1600 h (1800h were used during the first year of operation)
The winch operated about 12% of the time, i.e.,T2 =192 h.
The actual usage proportion S2 of the theoretical service life at the time of the second
inspection is therefore:
0.25
S2 = ———— ×192 h = 384 h
0.125
Remaining theoretical service life:
D2 = 1384-384=1000h
Do the same for the rest calculation.
0066340-200-07Y.C

7.4 Inspection of load hook


The load hook must be inspected annually by a competent inspector.
These inspections are made to prevent accidents through early detection of deficiencies.
Any deficiencies determined by the inspector must be documented, corrected, and
subsequently re-inspected.
a) Check the hook for distortions; e.g., at the hook jaw.
b) Inspect all bolts and screws, and ensure all cotter pins are complete and opening is
stretched.
c) Check that the rotary connection of hook can move easily, and the clearance is not too
large;
d) Check the easy rotation of the hook: rotate the hook by hand. If it is stiff, it indicates that
the bearing has been damaged.
e) Check the safety catch for integrality and functional work.
f) Check the hook for corrosion and wear

Note:

In case corrosion and wear is found on the threads, the load hook may no longer be used. In
such a case, contact the mobile crane branch company of Zoomlion.

7.5 Inspection of rope pulleys


a) Check the rope pulley all around for damage and cracks
b) If rope pulleys have been hit during crane operation (for example on buildings) or if they
were subjected to other stress factors, they must be then extensively checked for damage
or cracks.
c) Check for wear on the rope groove. Replace the pulley if the bottom of the rope groove
has been worn down more than 1/4 of the rope diameter.
d) If any damage or cracks are found, then the rope pulley must be replaced immediately. If
this is not observed, there is great danger of causing a serious accident!
e) Check rope pulley for tight fit and shakes; loose and shaken rope pulley means that the
bearing and bearing bush is damaged.

Caution:

If any damage or cracks are found, then the rope pulley must be replaced immediately. If this
is not observed, there is great danger of causing a serious accident!

7.6 Inspection and maintenance of anchoring rods


All anchoring rods fitted or used must be checked at least once a year by a specialist, and
subjected to additional checks depending on working ground and actual operating conditions.
Increase use of the machine shortens the inspection interval. A comprehensive inspection
should be carried out on anchoring rod during assembly, including concealed surface and
inside holes.
The anchoring rods should be checked for the following defects:
a) Cracks and notches
The anchoring rod must be checked at least once a year using magnetic powder test to
make sure that there are no cracks or notches. If any cracks or notches are detected, the
rods must be replaced immediately; rod repairing is prohibited.
b) Elongation
The elongation of the rods must be inspected by measurement. Maximum permissible
elongation is 0.2%; for example, over a length of 7000mm=14mm
c) Wear and abrasion
The inside holes and pins must be inspected for signs of wear and abrasion, including the
spring keepers and cotter pins used for securing the pins.
d) Enamel coating
The anchoring rod coating must be inspected regularly for signs of corrosion. Eroded spots
must be repainted. The anchoring rod must not be stored in aggressive agents, such as
sea water.
e) Deformation
The anchoring rod, once being distorted, should be replaced immediately.

Note:

If any of the damaged listed above is detected, the anchoring rod must be replaced
immediately; damaged and faulty anchoring rods may lead to serious accident!

7.7 Inspection and maintenance of wire rope

Being a crucial component for crane lifting, the wire rope will directly affect the assembling
work and safety on the construction site. Therefore, much emphasis should be put on the use,
maintenance and regular inspection of wire rope.

7.7.1 Handling and transport of wire rope

The wire rope should be handled and transported with utmost care. When loading a wire rope
down, never push it down directly from a higher position in order to avoid causing any damage
to the rope or to the reel.

A proper means of transport is to make use of a steel bar through the middle hole or axle of the
reel. The reel can then be lifted with a forklift or directly with a sling attached to a crane. When
the reel or coil is rolling on the ground, the illustrated bar can only be placed underneath both
flanges of the reel, without getting in contact with the rope. The ground should be even, and
the rope is not allowed to contact the sharp objects or the fork of the forklift, even if the outer
lay of the rope is protected.

Improper methods:

0066340-200-07Y.C

7.7.2 Inspection of wire rope

Any torsional stresses and sudden acceleration of load caused by impact loaded on wire rope
and load hook will cause serious damage to wire rope, a comprehensive check should be
therefore performed on the wire rope. While checking, pay attention to the following points:

a) whether the rope end connections are in proper order;

b) notches on pulley groove;

c) corrosion, wear and tear and rope deformation;

d) Type and number of wire breaks, and location and consequence of wire break;

e) Narrowing of the rope diameter during the operational period

Caution:
For crane that has been idle for a period of over 6 months shall be give a complete
inspection by a qualified person conforming with the requirement of this clause before
being placed in services.

7.7.3 Discard of wire rope

Wire rope must be discarded immediately if any one of the following defects is found:
a) Broken strand or formation of broken wire clusters(In running ropes, six
randomly distributed broken wires in one lay or three broken wires in one strand
in one lay)
b) Wear of one-third the original diameter of outside individual wires. Kinking,
crushing, bird caging, or any other damage resulting in distortion of the rope
structure (Figure 1).
c) Basket formation( Figure 2);
d) sharp protruding strands or strand clusters(figure 3)/loop formation;
e) Reductions from nominal diameter of more than one-sixty-fourth inch for
diameters up to and including five-sixteenths inch, one-thirty-second inch for
diameters three-eighths inch to and including one-half inch, three-sixty-fourths
inch for diameters nine-sixteenths inch to and including three-fourths inch,
one-sixteenth inch for diameters seven-eighths inch to 1 1/8 inches inclusive,
three-thirty-seconds inch for diameters 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches inclusive;
f) 10% corrosion or wear (figure 4);
g) loosening of the rope structure(figure 4);
h) contractions(figure 5);
i) flattening and sharp bends(figure 6+8);
0066340-200-07Y.C

j) kinking section of snapped strands(figure 7).


k) In standing ropes, more than two broken wires in one lay in sections beyond end
connections or more than one broken wire at an end connection (figure 6).

Caution:

1. If there is any doubt about the operational safety of any ropes, please consult with crane
specialist.
2. Should any of the above damages are discovered or any other damages occur, the cause
must be established before attaching or mounting a new rope.
3、wire rope safely factors shall be in accordance with American National Standards Institute
B30.5-1968 or SAE J959-1966
Wire ropes are sensitive and they should be kept clean and dray, and be prevented from
coming in contact with the ground; Wire rope transporting and replacing must be carried out
according to actual requirements;When replacing ropes, the new ropes must be of the same
strength rating and diameter as the old ones. Should another type of wire rope be used,
permission must first be obtained from the crane manufacturer.
Procedure for changing wire ropes and Notes
a) Preparation

1) The rope is usually replaced with a rope that is of the same type as the original. If the
spare rope is of another type, the user must ensure that the rope characteristics are
at least as good as those of the rope that was taken down;

2) When cutting a certain length of wire rope out of a longer one, the area where the cut
will take place should be treated properly beforehand, or appropriate technical means
should be taken to prevent the rope from coming loose at the cutting point;
0066340-200-07Y.C

3) Before installing a new wire rope, the grooves of the rope drums and pulleys must be
checked in order to ensure that they can accommodate the spare rope correctly;

4) Before starting to use the rope on an equipment the user must ensure that all
components that are associated with the rope have been set up in such a way that
they will operate correctly.

b) Unwinding of wire rope

The wire rope can be unwound from a reel or uncoiled on the floor. If the later method is
applied, the floor should be clean and even; otherwise, foreign substances such as sand
grains stuck to lubricating grease will damage the wire rope when it passes through the
rope pulley.

In no circumstances shall the rope be pulled from a reel or a coil which is laying on its side,
otherwise a twisting force will be inevitably generated on each rope layer. Every twisting
force will change the twist pitch of rope strand; alter the proportion of each component part
in every section of rope length; and at last change load-bearing location of wire rope.
Since the unwound wire rope from the reel will resist the previous twisting force, the rope
will form loops and be kinked permanently.

Kinked wire rope can no longer be used and must be discarded.

c) Installation of wire rope

The optimal installation of wire rope can be achieved depending on different type of crane.
The installation of a rope must be carried out very carefully to ensure that the rope can be
unwound from a reel or uncoiled from a coil without generating torque and causing any
outer damages. This point also applies when reeving the rope in the rope pulley. If the
rope is not installed under a load, any contact area between the wire rope and the
equipment should be protected properly.
0066340-200-07Y.C

It is recommended that the old rope should be removed prior to fitting a new rope. If the old
rope is used as a lead rope to pull the new one through the reeving system, do not
connect them together by directly welding or binding their rope ends; instead, they should
be connected with a Chinese finger. There is still another way to change a rope: use a
thinner rope as a lead rope to pull the new one through the reeving system. This way is
usually applied to the installation of a rope on new equipment.

1) Unwinding the rope from the reel onto the drum

In the manufacturing process, when a rope is wound onto a reel, the rope suffers bending
with a special direction. After the rope is delivered to customer, it is also bended towards
the same direction. Therefore, when the rope is unwound from a reel onto drum, it is
advantageous to maintain the direction of bending as it leaves the reel (see the above
figure).

If the above mentioned method is not observed, the wire rope will be kinked between the
reel and the drum or resume its original bending direction when used, which will result in
changes in the structure of rope.

2) Installing the rope under load

To achieve the best spooling condition of rope on a multiple-layer coiling system


(especially wound onto a cable drum of crane), it is very important to install the rope under
a tensioning load.

If the first rope layer is not tensioned on the rope drum, the outer rope layer will cutting into
the lower rope layer under loading, which would result in serious damage to wire rope.
And the unwound rope can even get stuck, which will result in the reverse rotation of the
rope drum during the unwinding of rope, and thus causing the sudden increase in tension
0066340-200-07Y.C

force and the drum winding downwards.

The tensioning load should be 1-2% of the minimum breaking force. In many cases, the
rope should be unwound or wound properly with the help of an external force.

Enough tensioning load can be generated on the reel by depressing the wooden board
underneath one flanges of the reel or holding the braking bar that is connected with the
reel axles (see the figure above).

Note: we should on no account produce the tensioning force by means of compressing the

wire rope, such as putting the wooden board directly underneath the wire rope,
because the changes incurred in rope structure will make the rope deformation
irremediable.

3) Installing a new rope with the help of the old rope or a lead rope

For the spooling operation itself, the new rope is attached to the old rope or to a lead rope.
They can be connected by means of a rope hose or welded ring. However, please make
sure that the new rope is not twisted by the old or lead rope.

4) Testing of wire rope

After the installation of wire rope and before starting to use it on the crane system, the
rope should experience normal “trial running” with a low load several times. After
0066340-200-07Y.C

undergoing “trial-running”, all components of the rope can be adjusted to real operating
condition.

The crane should be used for lifting at approximately 10% of the normal load in order to
stabilize the rope.

During the trial-running, crossing, kinking, twisting, and excessive bending as well as
scratch of wire rope should be avoided.

7.7.4 Maintenance and care of wire rope

The wire rope should be protected against exposure to such dangerous medium as heat
source, acid and alkali. And it should be free of sands and dirty adhered, and be greased.
Regular maintenance and care of the ropes enhances the safety of crane operation and
substantially increases the rope’s service life.
a) Wire ropes must be greased or oiled at regular intervals, especially around the drums and
pulleys, areas where they are turned and flexed the most. The grease or oil must be
compatible with that already on the ropes. Well lubricated wire ropes demonstrate 4 times
as much flex-play as unduplicated ones.
b) Dirty wire ropes must be cleaned regularly; the best results may be achieved by brushing.
c) If the lower layers on the drum are hardly used or not used at all, they are loose and must
be unwound and then rewound under a preliminary tension.
d) A rope works most economically when its entire length is used. Therefore, an
appropriately adapted rope length should be used for crane operation of long durations. If
partial sections of a rope are subject to different and varying loads, the rope, after a
certain time, can be turned around. In doing so, the previously free end of the rope is
attached onto the drum so that the part of the rope which has been subjected to the most
wear and hard use is now in the “quiet” zone, and vice-versa. The service life of a rope
can be noticeably increased.
e) If wear results mainly from the multi-layer winding of the drum, the service life of the rope
can be increased by shortening it by a length equivalent to 1/3 of the drum circumference.
f) Extension torsion in torsion free hoisting rope and its elimination
1) A torsion compensation is not only required after a new rope has been placed, but also
if extension torsion has been established after a long working period, resulting from
stretching and settling of the rope structure.
2) Torsion compensation can be noticed when the hook block turns in multi reeve
operation and when the load is set down and / or the outer strand seem to loosen up.
In extreme cases, the rope shows an arch formation.
3) If a crane is operated for a long period of time with the same reeving, without
unreeving or changing the hoisting rope reeving, then we recommend installation of a
rope twist catcher on the fixed point of the hoisting rope.
0066340-200-07Y.C

Caution: if this is not observed, the rope can be damaged!

g) Measures to eliminate torsion compensation


1) Set down the load hook
Lower the load hook as much as possible, so that the greatest rope length between
pulley block and load hook is exposed to compensation (twist, point 4).
2) Determine the rope lay direction\turning direction of rope
First determine in which direction the load hook is twisted.
The turning directions are shown in the illustration with a continuously lined arrow.
When the hoisting height is large, it is very difficult to check the turning direction of
rope by the turning direction of the dashed arrow. The “braid” must be dissolved.
3) Loosen the rope on the fixed point
When the direction of rotation has been determined, release the rope on the fixed
point on the load hook.
It is advantageous for torsion compensation if the load hook has been reeved in an
uneven number of that such a member will be reeved.
In this case, the fixed point of the rope is easily accessible on the load hook and it can
easily be released.
4) Turn the end of the rope by 180° to 360° carefully to compensate for the turn of the
load hook. To compensate for the turn, turn the separately shown end of the rope as
marked by the solid line arrow.

Note: it is important that the correct reference point is taken and that the crane operator

should hold the cable in from of him.


The rope(Z) with right-hand lay direction, as shown in figure 1 and the rope(S) with
left-hand lay direction as shown in figure 4 are turned in for compensation, while the
rope(Z) with right-hand lay direction as shown in figure 2 and the rope(S) with
left-hand lay direction as shown in figure 3 should be turned out for compensation.
The rule for torsion compensation is that the end of the rope must be turned against
the rope lay direction, which causes the release of the ‘braid” in the above test.
The rope section should be as long as possible for the turn. Through a hoisting
movement without a load, this turn should be distributed over the complete length of
the cable.
Under no circumstances turn the cable by force over a short section, because this
would destroy the cable structure permanently.
5) Reattach the rope on the fixed point
The end of the rope must be reattached and secured on the fixed point after the turn.
6) Carefully lift the load hook and raise it without a load repeatedly, if necessary
0066340-200-07Y.C

Since a non-stretch rope construction is relatively safe from torsion and it can only be
stretched a little (actually, the torsion will not make the rope deviate from the groove of
rope pulley), the hoisting movements without a load must be repeated several times.
after getting the compensating turn to the end of the rope, reattach the rope end again

to the fixed point and repeat the hoisting movements without a load one or several
times so that the torsion compensation can be distributed over the complete length of
the rope past the rope pulley.
Note: if necessary, in case the stretch was especially severe (multiple twisting of the
lower pulley block and /or slackening of the outer strands over a long stretch, or
at several points) then repeat this procedure several times, depending on hoist
rope length.
0066340-200-07Y.C

7.7.5 Wire rope shall be taken out of service when any of the following conditions exist:

a) Evidence of any heat damage from any cause;

7.8 Inspection of oil and fuel tanks

Oil and fuel tanks shall be inspected at lest once a year and checked all around for leakage in
the subsequent inspections every four years.
Repairs shall only be carried out by trained and knowledgeable specialists.
Improper repairs such as welding, brazing or soldering are not permitted without
consulting our company.

7.9 Inspection of load bearing components

Check the mounting bolts of slewing ring and winch.


Overloading or load impact may cause impact on bolting joints, resulting in damage to bolts.
Check the bolts carefully for elongation, cracks or deformation. If such defects are found on the
bolts, they should be changed immediately; otherwise accidents may happen.
The slewing ring is an important load bearing component, so much attention should be given to
the following points:
a) Check the pre-tightening force of fixing bolts of slewing ring after the slewing ring is
operated for 100 hours. And check them again every after 500 operating hours to ensure
sufficient pre-tightening force. Generally speaking, the bolts should be changed after
14000 operating hours or 7 service years.

b) Pay attention to the running condition of slewing ring during operation. If noise becomes
large, impact force and power increase suddenly, check vehicle immediately and
eliminate the failures. If necessary, dismantling of the vehicle is also needed.
c) The slewing ring in use should not be exposed to strong sunlight. Never wash the slewing
ring directly using water in order to prevent the water from entering the roll path.
Precautions are taken against hard objects from approaching to or entering the meshing
area.
d) Check sealing strip regularly. The sealing strip, if damaged, should be changed, and if
falls off, should be retuned to original position.
0066340-200-07Y.C

7.10 Inspection of engine

a) The engine must be inspected prior to every operation; i.e., daily check that all oil and fuel
lines are leak-free and dry. The fuel filter, oil filter and injection pumps shall also be
inspected for leakage.
b) Every day, check that the hydraulic components, fan drive hydraulic motors and their
supply lines are properly sealed and do no leak.
c) Check the exhaust system, especially the exhaust flanges and the exhaust flap brakes,
and make sure that they seal and move properly. The return springs that open the exhaust
flaps must function properly, because seized (therefore closed) exhaust flaps during
operation will cause increases in temperature and considerable overheating.
d) Check if electrical lines are functioning and mounted properly, and ensure that there is
sufficient clearance to hot exhaust pipes. Ensure that they are not damaged and still
properly insulated.
e) To reduce noise emission, noise reducing mats are installed in the engine area (engine
covering) for certain types of cranes. The fiberglass mats, after being cleaned, are
flame-resistant and fireproof.
f) If engine compartments are not cleaned regularly, oil and fuel may splash on the mats
while conducting maintenance and repair work. Oil and fuel soaked on noise reducing
mats must be removed, as they are flammable. The same is true for insulating mats in the
exhaust system area.
g) Clean the engine compartment only with nonflammable cleaning fluid. In addition, the fluid
may not be corrosive or chemically damaging to hoses and cables.
7.11 Cranes Not in Regular Use
a) A crane that has been idle for a period of 1 month or more, but less than 6 months,
shall be given an inspection by a qualified person conforming with the requirements
of paras. Chapter 6 6.2 before being placed in services.
b) A crane that has been idle for a period of over 6 months shall be give a complete inspection
by a qualified person conforming with the requirement of paras. Chapter 6 6.2、6.3 before
being placed in services.
c) Standby cranes shall be inspected by a qualified person at least semiannually in
accordance with the requirements of paras. Chapter 6 6.2、6.3 Cranes that are exposed to
adverse environmental conditions should be inspected more frequently.

8.1 Air conditioning

8.1.1 Control panel for air conditioning

The air conditioning system mainly consists of compressor, condenser (including


liquid reservoir), evaporator etc.

When cooling performance is activated, its power is supplied by the compressor


which is driven by the engine.

And the heating is achieved by utilizing the heat of engine circular water supplied by
the evaporator fan.

The air conditioning in the cab is a heating & cooling air conditioning. Its control
panel is on the air conditioning cover behind the seats.

1 2 3

1 Switch Control the fan speed to obtain proper air volume.

2 Switch Adjust the temperature of cab when cool mode functions.

3 Switch Switching between cooling mode and heating mode

Ⅰ—— cooling mode; Ⅱ—— heating mode


0066340-200-08.CY

8.1.2 Methods for operating air conditioning

When air conditioning is used for the first time, turn the switch (1) to high gear
position and hold it for 5 minutes after engine starts, then turn the switch (2) to
“COOL” position. At this time, the temperature in the cab starts to fall down.

When the required temperature is obtained, turn the switch (2) anticlockwise slowly
until the indicator light goes out and the compressor stops working. At this moment,
set this temperature to the rated value.

When the temperature in the cab is higher than this value, the indicator light lights up,
the compressor starts automatically and the cooling system begins to work.

When the temperature in the cab is lower than this value, the indicator light goes out,
and the compressor and cooling system stop working.

Adjust the angle of air outlet to change the direction and angle of cold wind;

Adjust the switch (1), one of three fan speeds can be set for the heating or air
conditioning.

Note: Do not turn switch (2) to “COOL” position and rotate switch (1) to low gear
position when using air conditioning. Otherwise, evaporator may get frost and
cooling performance may be influence.

Note:

1. During “three guarantee” period, it is forbidden to dismantle air conditioning


system without manufacturer’s permission.

2. Check the tension of compressor straps periodically and adjusts it in time.

3. Wash off the dirt on the surface of condenser radiating rib. In this way, the
cooling performance can be protected.

4. When changing the components of air conditioning system, add freezing oil
according to the requirements. As there’s difference between compressors in
system, the brand and type of new freezing oil should be the same as that of
freezing oil used in the compressor. Different freezing oil, which is not given
explanation of being capable of mixing with the freezing oil in the system, is
never permitted to fill into the system.

5. When add or change refrigerant, its brand and type should be the same as that
of refrigerant used by original system.

6. Lower the temperature in the cab with the evaporator at high gear position, and
keep the temperature in cab at middle gear position or low gear position.

7. When the components in the system break down, they should be replaced with
the spare parts supplied or designated by manufacturer. Otherwise, the system
0066340-200-08.CY

may be damaged.

8. Under the condition of low temperature & high humidity, the evaporator should
not work at low speed. Otherwise, it may be frozen.

9. If air conditioning is not used in winter, switch air conditioning on once a month
and let it run for about 10mins. This minimum running is required to keep the
whole system adequately lubricated.
