WARNING!
This spreader is equipped with a CAN-BUS type of control system.
The plug connecting the spreader electrical system to the control box must
ALWAYS be disconnected before any welding is performed on the spreader
or the machine that the spreader is mounted on.
The plug is removed from the controller (the controller is mounted on the
main frame) by lifting the metal lever and removing the plug completely from
the controller.
The cables of the orange coloured IN and OUTPUT boxes mounted on the ro-
tator should also be disconnected. This is done by removing the plastic retainer
and pulling the 10-pole rubber plug completely apart.
After finishing the welding operation the plugs should be reconnected in the
reverse order.

The ELME Model 817 Container spreader is a technically advanced piece of equipment
which, if it is carefully used and maintained, will serve its purpose for many years.
Initial check.
Each work shift should be started by making a visual check of the unit (this must be part
of the daily routine). Possible damage will in this way be discovered at an early stage,
thus enabling repairs to be carried out at a much lower cost.
CONTAINER HANDLING
NOTE! It is important to remember that loads should only be lifted at the specified
lengths for which the spreader is designed, i.e. 20ft. 30ft. 35ft. 40ft and in some cases
45ft. Where stops are fitted, these should be used to position the beams accurately
at one of the above mentioned positions. If the spreader is not equipped with stops,
the spreader may only be used for lifting 20ft. and 40ft. containers. Lifting outside
the specified positions may result in serious damage to the spreader.
When the required length has been reached, lift the spreader high enough to give good
visibility under it. This serves two purposes; 1) it gives good visibility for travelling and
2) it positions the spreader ready for picking up the first container. The spreader should
now be side shifted to the center position and the reach function operated to the fully
retracted position. This will be termed ”THE BASIC POSITION” in the rest of the
instruction.
2. Picking up a container.
If necessary, raise the spreader in order to have plenty of space between it and the
container. Always attempt to position the spreader centrally over the container.
The final adjustments for lining up the twistlocks with the corner castings of the
container can now be made.
By using the controls for shift and reach, position the spreader accurately over the
corner castings and then lower the spreader into them. If the twistlocks or some of the
twistlocks do not fit into the corner castings properly, CAREFULLY lift the spreader just
free of the container, readjust its position and the try again. NEVER PUSH OR SIDE
SHIFT while any of the twistlocks are still engaged in the corner castings of the con-
tainer. When all twistlocks are correctly engaged in the corner castings, the spreader
should be lowered until it rests unsupported on the container. This is termed as the
spreader being correctly SEATED and this will be indicated by the SEATED LIGHT be-
ing switched on. As soon as this happens, the twistlocks can be activated to the locked
position and the LOCKED LIGHT will be switched on.
CHECK THAT THE ”LOCKED” LIGHT HAS BEEN SWITCHED ON and then lift the
container to the required height for loading and/or travelling. Before moving the
container, return the spreader to the ”BASIC POSITION”. The container is now ready to
be transported to a new location. When travelling, always keep the load at the lowest
possible height and drive carefully.
3. Detach a container.
When approaching the new location for the container (this could be a chassis or a stack
etc.) lower the container to the required height and adjust the position of the corner cas-
tings, so that they are accurately situated above the corner locks of the chassis. Lower
the container, ensuring that its corner castings locate on the corner locks.
NEVER USE MORE TILT THAN NECESSARY AND NEVER PUSH !!!
The twistlocks may now be activated to the ”UNLOCKED” position, the spreader lifted
free of the container and the truck backed away.
4. General advice.
- Always adjust the spreader back to the ”BASIC POSITION” after every handling cycle.
- When parking the truck and spreader or when they are not in use for longer periods of
time, always make a habit of lowering the spreader to its lowest position.
- Read all instruction books carefully and be sure that you understand them.
- Should there be anything you do not understand, please contact your local dealer who
will ensure that all your questions are answered.

1. - The nylon wear pads should be inspected for wear at the same time
as their tracks are lubricated. The pads should be replaced when their
thickness is reduced to minimum 18 mm.
Replacing the wear pads can be done with ordinary hand tools and
without removing the beams.
Minimum thickness 18 mm
The drawing above shows where the heads of the twistlocks
wear. When the worn part exceeds the area indicated by cross-
hatching, the twistlocks should be replaced.
3. The extension cylinder support has wear pads under it*. These should also
be inspected on a regular basis and replaced when their thickness is
reduced to minimum 18 mm. See item 1.
5. The side shift wear pads should be inspected for wear at the same time as
lubrication is carried out. The wear pads should be replaced when their
thickness is reduced to minimum 18 mm. See item 1.
a - Inspect the main spreader components for damage, cracks and distortion.
b - Check the signal and safety systems for correct operation.
e- Inspect all hydraulic hoses for damage and leakage. Replace if faulty.

2 Loosen one of the adjuster bolts at the twistlock cylinder, enough to give some play.
3 Loosen and remove the M8 x 80 bolts (item 2) in the top of both twistlocks in the
same end beam.
4 Use two of the M8 x 80 bolts (item 2) as pullers by inserting them in the two threaded
holes (item 3) in each of the cranks (item 4) and tighten them alternatly until they lift
the cranks (item 4) off the top of the twistlock shaft (item 5).
5 The tie-rod (item 6) including both cranks (item 4) can now be removed from the
end beam.
6 The key (item 7) that locates the crank (item 4) to the twistlock (item 5) is held in
place on the twistlock by a roll pin so that it will remain in place on the twistlock after
the crank is removed.
By lightly knocking the key away from the twistlock it can be removed.
7 Support the twistlock (item 5) from below so that it does not drop out.
Using a screwdriver prise the collets (item 8) out of the recess in the twistlock (item
5). It is now possible to lower the twistlock out of the end beam. The sleeve (item 9)
and lower bearing set (item 10) will in most cases accompany the twist lock as it is
removed, this is quite normal.
8 After removal of all twistlock parts remove all grease and dirt from the parts and also
from the corner of the end beam. Steam clean or clean with some form of solvent.
9 Check the twistlock (item 5) for wear at the head and also for wear at the bushing
surfaces. Inspect the lower (item 10) and upper (item 11) bearing sets for wear and
damage, if badly worn or damaged they should be replaced. The collets (item 8) and
and the crank (item 4) should be inspected for possible wear or damage and replaced
if necessary.
It should be noted that the state of the collets (item 8) and the recess in the
twist lock (item 5) is very important as these parts are carrying the load when a
container is lifted.
10 Replacing the twistlock is the revers order of removal, however the best way to start
assembly is to assemble the sleeve (item 9) including bushes, onto the twistlock (item
5) and then grease the lower bearing set (item 10) and place in position on top of
the sleeve. Fit the four centering springs in the sides of the sleeve.
11 Grease the upper bearing set (item 11) and place in position on the top surface of the
corner plate (in the end beam) with the convex half uppermost (threaded holes up)
12 Lift the twistlock assy. as assembled in point 10 and position up through the corner
plate in the end beam, ensuring that the upper bearing set (item 11) is positioned
correctly around the twistlock. Support the assembly with a jack or other means and
then go to the next point.
14 Fit the key (item 7) incl. roll pin to the keyway of the twistlock (item 5)
15 In order to fit the tie-rod (item 6) it is necessary to mount both cranks (item 4) to the
tie-rod before placing it in the end beam. Fit the ball joints, O rings, and plastic
washers to the tie-rod ends and then fit the fork of the crank (item 4) over the tie-rod
end. Ensure that the countersunk ends of the securing holes in the crank are upper
most. Secure the crank to the tie-rod end by fitting the pin (item 12) and then the ring
pin and allen screw.
16 In order to simplify assembly of the crank to the twistlock it is advisable to fit two
alignment pins to the assy. The pins can be made from two M8 x 75 bolts or allen
screws with the heads removed and slightly chamfered.
These pins should be screwed into the top plate of the upper bearing (item 11)
diagonally so that each pin guides one half of the collets (item 8).
17 Insert the tie-rod (item 6) into the end beam and the fit the cranks (item 4) onto the
alignment pins and ensure that the key and keyway line up. Fit two of the allen
securing (item 2) in the remaining two holes and screw in and tighten lightly. Remove
the alignment pins and fit the other two securing screws. The securing screws can
now be tightened to approx. 25 Nm.
18 Activate the twistlocks to the NOT LOCKED position and then adjust the twistlock
cylinder adjuster bolts so that the twistlocks are positioned accuratly in the NOT
LOCKED position. Ensure that there is Zero play between the adjuster bolts and the
twistlock cylinder rod ends.
In order to test the operation it is necessary to land the spreader on a container so that the
seated pins are activated.

2 Before removing the securing pin pos.1 of the extension cylinder it must be
supported by a small hydraulic jack or likewise so that the cylinder pos. B does
not fall down.
Remove the pin from the rear of the cylinder fig.1 pos. 1 (opposite end to the
piston rod) and at the same time also remove the hose and electrical connec-
tions at the rear of the extension cylinder pos. B. The securing bracket that
secures the cable chain to the track in the bottom of the extension beam should
also be disconnected.
3 By using a crane or fork lift truck pull the end beam pos. A out approx. 50cm so
that it is just possible to get into the inspection hole pos.C in the top of the beam.
4 Remove the pin from the piston rod end of the extension cylinder.
5 The extension cylinder pos. B can now be lifted out of the spreader by sliding it
horizontally with the help of suitable lifting equipment, (by "suitable lifting
equipment" is meant that the crane or truck must be capable of lifting 150kg.)
until the slider pads slide out of the rail by which the foot of the cylinder is guided.

Landing surface of end beam
1. Check that the SEATED PIN can move up and down freely. The force needed to lift the pin
is approx. 10 kg (20 lbs).
2. The SEATED signal should switch on with the pin protruding approx. 9mm below the landing
surface of the end beam.
3. If adjustment of the proximity switch / sensor is necessary, remove the seated sensor
mounting bracket incl. sensor from the top of the seated tower, and adjust the proximity
switch / sensor so that the end surface is 7-8 mm above the lower mounting surface of the
bracket. This adjustment will result in the seated pin indication being switched on when the
underside of the seated pin is approx. 8 to10mm lower than the end beams landing surface.
This adjustment also ensures that the mechanical and electrical lockout is released so that
the twistlocks can be turned.

1. Turn the twistlocks (pos1) to the fully UNLOCKED position (as shown).
2. If the twistlock heads do not line up with the twistlock sleeve, they can be adjusted by
loosening the lock nuts (pos 5) for the adjuster bolts (pos 2)
3. Turn the twistlocks at each end of the end beam so that they line up with the sleeves, if it
is found difficult to line up the twistlocks and sleeves accurately distribute the
misalignment equally on both sides of the sleeve. Make sure that the twistlock heads
DO NOT protrude outside the the theoretical line between twistlocks. If the twistlocks do
protrude outside the previously mentioned line between the twistlocks it can cause
jamming in corner castings as the spreader is lifted off the container.
4. Run both adjuster bolts (pos 2) up to the piston rod (pos 4) ends of the twistlock cylinder
(pos 3) by hand making sure that neither the twistlocks nor the cylinder are moved.
Tighten the lock nut (pos 5a) of the inside adjuster (pos 2a) first.
5. Unscrew / back off the outer adjuster bolt (pos 2b) no more than 2 flats of the hexagan
head (60°) so that there is only just enough play to allow the tie rod (pos 6) to slide back
and forth across the adjuster bolts when the twistlock cylinder (pos 3) is activated.
CAUTION if the gap between the twistlock cylinder rod ends is too large the rod ends will
hammer against the adjusters and subsequent damage will occur to the piston rod ends.
6. Tighten the lock nut (pos 5b) securely while at the same time ensuring that the adjuster
bolt (pos 2b) does not move.
7. Activate the twistlocks to the LOCKED position and check that the twistlock heads are
900+/- 100 to the twistlock sleeve.

When storing an ELME spreader for longer periods of time, the following precautions
should be taken:
1 All chromed piston rods must be activated to the closed position so that the
rods are stored inside the cylinder where this is possible.
If it is not possible to retract the rod into the cylinder (for example the twistlock
cylinders) then the exposed part of the chromed rod should be sprayed with a
rust inhibitor similar to, for example "Tectyl".
CAUTION! Efficient rust inhibitors often dry with time and should therefore be
removed by a solvent before using the spreader again. Failure to do this can
cause damage to the seals of the cylinders with subsequent leakage to follow.
3 The hydraulic tank should be filled to 80% of its total volume with clean
hydraulic oil, in order to reduce uncovered areas inside the tank, on which
condensation can form.
5 Where possible it would be advisable to equip the electric box with a heater
(this could be a small electric bulb for ex. 40 watt which is allowed to burn
constantly) and if the hydraulic tank is equipped with a heater, it would be
advisable to have it connected during the spring and autumn months.
6 Spray all electric connections both inside and outside of the box with a self-
drying lubricant. This will efficiently protect electric connections against
corrosion.
