1.3.7 Lifting capacity table

1.3.7.1 Notes for the lifting capacity table

1) The lifting capacity table indicates the maximum load which can be lifted by this crane in
different working conditions provided it is level and standing on firm and load-bearing
ground. The unit of the rated lifting capacity is metric ton;
2) The values as given in the tables include the mass of the hook and slings;

3) The values given in the lifting capacity table are suitable to 360° full range;
4) The working radius in lifting capacity table refers to the level distance from hook center
to slewing center. Its unit is metric meter;
5) The boom extension length must be equivalent to the value given in the lifting capacity
table. The numbers, I, II, III, IV and V, in the table indicate the corresponding telescopic
section (highest number = furthest telescopic section). The numbers, 1, 2, 3 and 4,
display the boom status of the telescope. 1 represents the telescope extends 0%,
2 represents the telescope extends 46%, 3 represents the telescope extends 92% and 4
represents the telescope extends 100%;
6) If the actual working radius is between two adjacent values given in the lifting capacity
table, the bigger one should be referred to;
7) The working radius of the crane must be strictly limited in the range of the lifting capacity
table. If the working radius is above or below the range, the crane will topple over even
without load;
8) Before operating the crane, the outriggers must be extended according to the lifting
capacity table and secured;
9) Before the lifting work, all wheels must be away from the ground;
10) Before lifting work, the crane must be leveled with the support control units. And checks
must be done during crane operation to ensure the crane in level position;
11) The rated lifting capacities for the rooster sheave are equivalent to the rated lifting
capacities for the telescopic boom to a maximum of 7 ton. If the rated lifting capacity for
the telescopic boom checked from the table is above 7 ton, the maximum lifting capacity
is also 7 ton;

1 - 22
0063152-000-01-20Y
12) The rated lifting capacity for the telescopic boom is the value without jib assembled.
When using the boom with jib assembled, 2400 kg plus the mass of hook block and
slings should be subtracted from the rated lifting capacities;
13) The telescoping percentage of boom under any working conditions should be referred
to the lifting capacity table;
14) Load moment limiter is just a vital equipment to ensure safe operation of the crane. But
consequences for not paying attention to the safe operation are also rest with the
crane operator.
15) Never telescope with load.

2.1 Traffic regulations

The crane is approved for road travel when used in accordance with national and regional
traffic regulations. No person is allowed to stay in operator’s cab during driving. The crane
must be made to comply with the relevant local traffic regulations, before it is driven on public
streets, roads and other places. The weights, axle loads and dimensions specified in the
permits must be maintained.

The technically feasible axle loads may be different from those permitted by local road traffic
regulations. In countries where EEC specifications apply, axle loads greater than 12 t are not
permitted for road and highway traffic.

Danger:

(1) If the axle loads or total weight exceed the permits, any increase in axle load and total
weight reduces braking performance in direction proportion to the excess weight;

(2) Brake lining wear is greater and risk of brake overheating in higher;

(3) The steering system, driving brake, parking brake and reducer will not comply with the
relevant regulations;

(4) Lives of all components such as brakes, axles, rims, suspension cylinders as well as
bearings are shortened;

(5) No person is allowed to stay in operator’s cab during driving.

A hook block may only be transported at the front of driver’s cab if:

a) It has been reeved no more than four times;

b) It has been lashed using the auxiliary rope provided on the front towing coupling.

Danger:

Do not allow the hook block to impair the driver’s field of vision when driving the
crane on public roads!

2.2 Break-in instructions

The crane should break-in after delivery. Please observe the following specifications:

a) Continuously monitor the temperature and oil pressure indicators while driving!

Warning:

Stop immediately if there are any fault indications!

b) Perform the following checks after the first 50 km and 100 km:

1) Make sure that wheel nuts are tight and do not over-tighten them (maximum
permissible torque is 600 N.m);

2) Check engine water and oil levels;

3) Check transmission, transfer case and drive axle oil levels;

4) Visually inspect engine, transmission device and axles for any leakage or loose
components;

5) Check that drive axles are properly seated;

6) Check that the steering mechanism and suspension devices are properly seated;

7) Check that there are no other loose chassis components;

8) Visually inspect tire condition and inflation.

c) Breaking in the brake linings:

To achieve optimum braking performance, all new brake linings must be broken in
by activating the brakes. Activate the brakes by pumping them at low to medium speed.
Hard braking is not permitted. In general, the break - in distance depends on the type of
vehicle, but a minimum of 500 km is recommended. During this phase, the maximum
brake drum or braking lining temperature may not exceed 2000C. The temperature rise
resulting from each individual braking action should not exceed 15% of maximum.

Danger:

The risk of accident increases when new brake linings are subjected to one or more
braking operations over extended period of time or if the vehicle is forced to a stop by
hard braking from high speed several times. Hard braking and continuous braking are
not permitted!

d) During the initial phase, all components of crane are in break-in state. During the
first 100h, the working load should not be too great and working speed should not be
too high, the maximum lifting capacity should not exceed 80% of the rated one and it is
not permitted to work at maximum speed.

1145-000-02-20Y

2.3 Planning crane operation

In addition to a perfectly working crane and a well-trained crew, crane operation planning
is an important principle of safe crane operation.

The crane operator must obtain or receive the necessary information in a timely fashion
before driving to the work site. In particular:

a) Type of crane operation;

b) Work site and travel distance;

c) Route;

d) Height and width clearance measurements;

e) Electric transmission lines (including voltages);

f) Space restrictions at the work site;

g) Movement restrictions caused by buildings;

h) Weight and dimensions of the load(s) to be lifted;

i) Required hoisting height and boom projection;

j) Ground bearing capacity at the work site.

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

a) Hook block / load hook;

b) Separate lifting accessories;

c) Counterweight;

d) Jib;

e) Underlay materials for support pads.

Warning:

Crane operation may not be possible or improvisation can result if a crane operator does not
have all the required data.

2.4 General safety technical guidelines

2.4.1 Requirements of the crane operator and conductor

The primary responsibility of crane operator and conductor is to control, operate, adjust the
crane and conduct the operation in a manner that is safe for both himself and others. The
main operating errors, which are made again and again while operating or driving a
crane, are as follows:

a) Slewing too quickly;

b) Quick braking of the load;

c) Diagonal pulling when the load is still on the ground;

d) Loose wire rope formations;

e) Overloading;

f) Crashing into bridges, roofs or high voltage wiring due to insufficient vertical clearance;

g) Unsuitable operation when lifting a load with several cranes at the same time.

About 20% of accidents are caused by improper maintenance:

a) Insufficient lubricating oil, lubricating grease or antifreeze;

b) Broken wire ropes, worn parts;

c) Emergency limit switches or load moment limiter not operating properly;

d) Brake or transmission failure;

e) Hydraulic defects (for example: cracked hoses);

f) Loose bolts.

Danger:

In the interest of both yourself and others, make sure you understand how your
crane operates and familiarize yourself with all the risks associated with the work to be done.

02 - 4
1145-000-02-20Y

Qualifications for operator and conductor are as follows:

2.4.1.1 Operator

a) The driver with authorized certificate;

b) The person who has been trained at least half a year under qualified personnel’s
supervision;

c) The maintenance personnel and inspectors who need to operate the crane for a task;

d) Healthy and agile;

e) Eyesight (remedied eyesight included) is above 0.7, no color blindness;

f) Hearing is qualified;

g) Has the ability to estimate and monitor load is enough;

h) The operator must be familiar with the operating instructions for the crane, and know the
working principle, structural performance, functions and adjusting methods for the safety
devices, as well as master the operation essentials and maintenance skills;

Make sure that only the personnel who are qualified and authorized are allowed to operate
the crane.

Danger:

(1) Operator should check brakes, hook, wire rope and safety devices before operation. If
there is something abnormal, fix it as soon as possible;

(2) The operator must focus his attention on his work during operation and is forbidden
to chat with others. Generally speaking, operator can only follow the signal sent out
by appointed persons. However, for a stop signal, the operator should obey it at all times,
no matter who send it out. He should refuse to follow signal which violates operation
regulations. Stop the crane immediately if somebody is found climbing the crane;

(3) Operator who is in low spirits or poor health is not allowed to operate the crane. Prohibit
drinking and driving.

02 - 5
1145-000-02-20Y

2.4.1.2 Rigger

During operation of the machine, the rigger is responsible for ensuring that the load is
slung or released safely and carefully and decides which loading equipment and
lifting accessories are to be used in accordance with work plan. Rigger is also responsible for
conducting safe operation of the crane.
A qualified rigger should meet the following criteria:

a) With crane operation certificate;

b) Be qualified with the work in hearing, eyesight and reactivity;

c) Have the requisite physical strength to carry the loading equipment and
lifting accessories;

d) Be able to estimate the load mass, balance the load and judge the distance, height and
clearance correctly;

e) Have been trained in the skill of handling load;

f) Be able to choose the proper loading equipment and lifting accessories according
to conditions of the load;

g) Have been trained in hand signals for operation and is familiar to use them;

h) Be able to safely use audio equipment (such as interphone) to send out oral order
exactly and clearly;

i) Be capable of conducting the operating of crane to move the load safely;

j) Make sure that only authorized personnel are allowed to carry out work.

2.4.1.3 Signal person

The signal person is to transfer signal from the rigger to operator. He can substitute for the
rigger to do conducting and rigging work, but such work can only be done by one
person at any time.
A qualified signal person should meet the following criteria:

a) Be qualified with the work in hearing, eyesight and reactivity;

b) Be able to estimate the distance, height and clearance correctly;

c) Have been trained in hand signals for operating and is familiar to use them;

d) Be able to safely use audio equipment (such as interphone) to send out oral order
exactly and clearly;

e) Be capable of conducting crane operation to move the load safely;

f) Make sure that only authorized personnel are allowed to carry out work.

02 - 6
1145-000-02-20Y

2.4.2 Selecting an operating site

It is very important to choose an appropriate location for crane operation in order to minimize
safety risks. When selecting the placement location of the crane, observe the following:

a) The operation of the crane can be carried out within the necessary radius (working
radius and counterweight slewing radius);

b) Support the crane and other things only on ground with sufficient load bearing capacity.

2.4.2.1 Slopes and ditches

The crane may not be set up too close to slopes or ditches. Maintain adequate safety
clearances in accordance with the type of soil. The formula for calculating the safety
clearance is as following:

For non-cohesive and soft cohesive


ground:
A2=2T
For stiff or semi-solid cohesive ground:
A1=T
T refers to the depth of ditch.

Danger:

If the safety distance can not be maintained, fill and level up the slope and ditch. Otherwise
the crane can topple over!

2.4.2.2 Permissible ground pressure of outrigger

When the crane is supported, the outriggers transmit significant forces to the ground. In
certain cases, a single outrigger has to transmit almost the entire weight of the crane, plus
the load weight, to the ground.

The ground must be able to safely absorb this pressure every time. If the outrigger pad area
is inadequate, then it must be supported from below according to the load bearing capacity of
the ground. The required support area can be calculated as follows:

Support area = crane support force / load bearing capacity of the ground

Warning:

Even though the crane is supported by several outriggers together, the ground
pressure of outrigger should be calculated from the total weight of crane on one outrigger.
The maximum pressure on the front and rear outriggers will not exceed the value referred in
Section 1.3.3.

02 - 7
1145-000-02-20Y

Permissible ground pressure is shown in the following table:

Soil type Permissible ground


pressure (kg / cm2)
A Back-filled, not naturally compacted ground 0-1

Artificially compacted ground:

1. Asphalt 5 -15
C
2. Concrete 50 - 250
Concrete group B I
350 - 550
Concrete group B II
If there is any doubt about the load bearing capacity of the ground at the placement site, soil
tests should be carried out, for example with a penetrometer.

Caution:

Only strong materials may be used for the outrigger pad bases; for example properly
dimensioned wooden timbers. In order to ensure that pressure is evenly distributed over the
base surface, the outrigger pads must be positioned in the center of the support base.

02 - 8
1145-000-02-20Y

2.4.3 Supporting

a) Before operation, all the wheels must be away from the ground;

b) Before extending the vertical outriggers, extend the horizontal outriggers to the specified
positions;

c) All the outriggers must be extended according to the data in the lifting capacity table and
secured by pins;

d) Before operation, the crane must be leveled. Under any working conditions, the
inclination angle of the crane can not be more than 0.6°.

Danger:

If the crane is positioned at an incline, and if the boom is turned towards the slope, then the
radius is increased as a result. It is possible that the crane can topple over in extreme cases.

After the crane is supported, check the following safety measures:

02 - 9
1145-000-02-20Y

a) The placement location has been selected in such a way that the crane can be operated
with the least possible radius;

b) The load bearing capacity of the ground is adequate;

c) There is sufficient distance to ditches and slopes;

d) All outriggers have been extended to their specified positions;

e) The outriggers are secured with pins;

f) The outrigger pads are secured;

g) The crane is aligned horizontally;

h) The axles are relieved, which means the tires do not touch the ground;

i) It has been ensured that there are no live electrical wires within the working range of the
crane;

j) There are no obstacles which will hinder the required crane movements.

2.4.4 Working conditions

a) Pay attention to the ambient temperature in the work site. The suitable temperature
range is -20℃ - + 40℃. Excessive high or low temperature will damage the
components of crane;

b) If wind speed is higher than the maximum permissible wind speed (13.8m/s, grade 6) for
the crane operation, it is prohibited to lift a load;

c) In case of thunderstorms, stop working on the crane immediately and telescope the
boom in and bring it into driving condition.

Danger:

Operate the crane according to the above instructions, otherwise accidents may occur!

d) Strong electromagnetic fields are likely to be present if the construction site is close to a
transmitter. Under this condition, consult a high frequency specialist or contact with the
local franchiser or the manufacturer.

Danger:

Electromagnetic fields can pose direct or indirect danger to persons,


equipment and objects, for example, effect on human organs due to radiation and
spark or electric arc formation.

In order to minimize the danger due to high frequency radiation, operator should operate
the crane according to the following instructions:

1) Every crane must be totally grounded. Check visually or with a simple tester
to ensure that ladder, cab and wire rope are grounded;

2) All personnel working on the crane or with large metal objects must protect
themselves from burns by wearing non-conductive synthetic gloves and suitable
clothing while working;

3) There is no need to panic if you feel your hand warm up. Always work under
the assumption that the respective workpiece, structural steel member or support is
hot;

4) The temperature of objects affected by high frequency radiation depends on their


size. Cranes, carriers and coverings, for example, are hotter;

5) Contact with other crane loads is not permitted when operating the crane.

02 - 11
1145-000-02-20Y

Otherwise, electric arc may occur and the wire rope will be damaged. At this time,
check the wire rope immediately.

6) An insulator is required at all times between the crane load hook and loading
equipment. Do not touch the wire rope above the insulator;

Insulator

Insulator Insulator

7) Loads that are attached to the crane may not be touched by any unprotected
parts of the body after the load has been lifted or set down;

8) Do not work with a bare upper torso or in short pants, this is prohibited;

9) To minimize absorption of high-frequency radiation, larger loads should be


transported horizontally if possible;

10) Loads must be grounded, or additional insulation used (rubber material between
the object and gloves) when manual work is required;

11) Use a suitable measuring instrument to check the temperature of the object. If, for
example 500V can be measured on a tool at a distance of 1cm to 2cm, then the tool
may not be touched with bare hands;

12) To avoid secondary accidents, use a seat belt when working on structures that are
high off the ground;

13) Handling explosive matter (such as refueling) may only be done at least 6m away
from the place where sparks could form due to handling of larger metal parts.
Use only conductive rubber hoses to refuel;

14) Any accidents and unexpected events must immediately be reported to the local
construction supervisor and safety engineer.

02 - 12
1145-000-02-20Y

2.4.5 Points for attention

Before beginning any work, the crane operator must make sure that the crane is in
safe operating condition. All safety devices, such as load moment limiter, hoisting limit switch,
lowering limit switch, brakes, etc., are in good working order.

The load moment limiter must be adjusted according to the current crane configuration. The
loads given in the lifting capacity table may not be exceeded. The loading equipment, load
carriers and ropes must be in accordance with specified requirements. The weight of the
hook and loading equipment must be subtracted from the load given in the lifting capacity
table.

The counterweight required depends on the weight of the load to be lifted and the boom
radius required for operation. The deciding factor for the selection of the counterweight is the
data in the corresponding lifting capacity table.

Danger:

The crane may topple over if the counterweight is not installed according to the lifting
capacity table!

Danger:

When lifting a load, reeving of wire rope should be in accordance with the data in lifting
capacity table. Otherwise the wire rope may break off and the winch reducer and motor may
be damaged.

Pay special attention to the following items:

a) No person is allowed to stand under the boom during operation;

b) No person is allowed to stand on slewing table;

c) No standing within slewing radius;

d) Prohibit lifting a load without outriggers;

e) The inclination angle of the crane can not be more than 0.6° during operation;

02 - 13
1145-000-02-20Y

f) Never allow people to stand beneath swaying loads;

g) Never carry people on the load or on lifting equipment;

h) Prohibit overloading and do not pull load at an angle. Forbid lifting staggered load;

i) Prohibit lifting load buried in ground or frozen on the ground;

j) It is forbidden to drive with a load;

k) It is forbidden to drive with movable counterweight;

l) It is forbidden to telescope the boom with a load;

02 - 14
1145-000-02-20Y

m) Under any conditions, wire rope on the winding drum is not allowed to be less than 3
windings;

n) Never adjust the brake of hoist mechanism during lifting a load;

o) The operator is not permitted to leave the operator’s cab when the load is suspended in
the air;

p) When working in the vicinity of power cables, a sufficient safety clearance must be
maintained if the power is not cut off or the hazardous area is not covered or fenced off;

Minimum safe
Rated voltage (kV)
distance (m)
<1 1
1 - 110 3
110 - 220 4
220 - 380 5
If rated voltage is unknown 5

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

1) Keep calm;

2) Do not leave the cab;

3) Warn those around the crane not to move and not to touch the crane;

4) Move the boom away from the danger area.

q) The operation should be stable and gentle. Do not carry out any jerky movements with
the joysticks; avoid any sudden acceleration or braking or conversion operation;

02 - 15
1145-000-02-20Y

r) Checks on the crane should be carried out from time to time during operation. Once
there is any abnormity, find out the reasons and fix them;

s) When the actual lifting load reaches 90% of the rated one, the buzzer will sound
the alarm. At the time, much attention should be paid to the operation;

t) No modification of the crane is allowed. Otherwise the person will take the consequence
himself;

u) Under normal conditions, it is prohibited for a load being lifted by two or above
two cranes at the same time. But if this operation is needed under special conditions, it
should comply with the regulations stipulated in GB6067-85, as follows:

1) Wire ropes must be vertical;

2) Hoisting / lowering operations of each crane must be kept synchronized;

3) The maximum load weight lifted by each crane must not exceed their respective
rated lifting capacities.

If above requirements cannot be fulfilled, decrease the rated lifting capacity to its 80%.
During lifting work, the chief engineer must be on site to command the operation.

Warning:

Stop working if one of the following instances occurs:

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

(2) The load may fall off because it is secured or hanged loosely or unevenly;

(3) There is no lining pad between the edges of load and wire rope;

(4) The lighting in the work site is dim and the load or the signal can not be seen very clear;

(5) There is defect or damage of structure and components which will impair the safety of
the crane, such as failure of brake and safety devices or damage of wire rope.

1145-000-02-20Y

2.6 Hand signals

For all 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 if he is signed by an assigned
conductor. The operator may be guided by hand signals or an interphone. It is absolutely
essential that there be no misunderstandings.

Warning:

Danger of accident caused by misunderstood hand signals! Hand signals must be


mutually agreed upon and clearly executed!

We recommend using the hand signals described on the following pictures for the sake of
safe operation.

This switch should always be used in conjunction with the joysticks to
supply hydraulic oil to winches. Detailed operating method is as follows:
a) Supply hydraulic oil to main winch
1) Rotate the switch to right position and deflect the right joystick
forwards until the buzzer sends out slow acoustic warning;
2) Rotate the switch to left position and deflect the joystick to
neutral position.
b) Supply hydraulic oil to auxiliary winch
1) Rotate the switch to right position and deflect the left joystick
forwards until the buzzer sends out slow acoustic warning;
2) Rotate the switch to left position and deflect the joystick to
neutral position.
Do not stop supplying hydraulic oil to main / auxiliary winch until the
buzzer sends out slow acoustic warning (Frequency: 0.5HZ). One
supplying circle is about 3 minutes.

Caution:
It is prohibited to press the deadman switches when deflecting the
joysticks forwards.
If the load is suspended in the air for a period of time due to crane
shutdown, supply hydraulic oil to the winches before operating the
winches. The times of supplying hydraulic oil should be according to
crane downtime (T):
(Preheat the machine for 15 to 30 minutes in winter)
a) If 0.5 hours ≤ T ≤ 6 hours, supply oil 1 circle at 1000 RPM, 1 circle
for 3 mins;
b) If 6 hours ≤ T ≤ 12 hours, supply oil 2 circles at 1000 RPM, each

4.2 Computer system

4.2.1 General

Notice!
Note:
The monitor illustrations in this chapter are only examples. The numerical values in the
individual icons and tables do not necessarily match exactly to the crane.
The load moment limiter is a computer system for controlling and monitoring mobile cranes. In
addition to controlling the boom telescoping via computer programs, it is also of self-diagnosis
function.
The load moment limiter calculates data from the pressure sensor, length sensors, angle
sensors and other monitoring devices to judge whether the crane is in safe working conditions,
and displays the basic parameters, such as boom length, boom angle, working radius, rated
lifting capacity etc., on the LCD.
If the actual load is greater than 90% of the rated one, the warning light lights up and buzzer
sends out slow acoustic warning.
If the actual load is greater than 100% of the rated one, the warning light lights up and buzzer
sends out fast acoustic warning and all dangerous crane movements are switched off.
The crane can only work towards safe directions till the dangerous operation is deactivated.
The load moment limiter can prevent crane from toppling or being destructed, thus ensures
crane’s safe operation. However, do not rely entirely on the load moment limiter. If the rated
lifting load displayed on the load moment limiter is different to the one shown in lifting capacity
table, refer to the lifting capacity table.

4.2.2 Programs

4.2.2.1 Switching on the computer system and performing self-test

After the computer system is switched on, the load moment limiter performs a self-test
automatically to check whether the three PLC controllers are connected. If no errors are found
during the system test, the monitor displays the following screen (See Fig. 1). Shortly after that,
the screen as shown in Fig.2 appears on the monitor.

Fig. 1 Self-test passed

0063152-000-04-20Y

If the connection error is found during the test, the corresponding controller cannot pass the
test and the monitor shows the following screen (See Fig. 3).

Fig. 3 Self-test failed


Troubleshooting:
If an error message appears on the monitor?
– Turn off the engine and ignition and rectify the errors (especially checking the connectors)
– Start again to perform self-test again.

Caution:
If an error is found during communication, the buzzer will not stop sending alarm after
computer turned on. It is a normal phenomenon. Please rectify the communication fault.
After OM is selected, it switches automatically to the main screen – configuration program
(See Fig. 4). Many parameters can be monitored from this screen in real time.

0063152-000-04-20Y

2) Pin the telescopic section

Caution:
The movement “Telescope boom out / in” must be initiated slowly if
boom pin is released.
It is recommended to set right switch to right position and slowly
telescope the boom in / out to prevent the boom pin beyond its target
pin hole.

4-35
0063152-000-04-20Y

3) Unpin the telescopic section

Caution:
Ensure the cylinder is locked (the 2 control lights on the right all
light up) before unpinning the telescopic sections.

If icon “Boom pinned” goes out, but icon “Boom unpinned” does not light up and the
value shown on pressure gauge keeps about 130 bar
– Stop closing the boom pin;
– Release boom pin till control light “Boom pinned” lights up;
– Close the boom pin again.

Caution:
The boom must be telescoped in slowly with a large boom angle (slow gear is
recommended) if the boom section is unpinned.
Icon "Boom operational” must be lighting up during boom telescoped-in process.
Accelerate telescoping operation after the telescopic cylinder retracts for a certain
length.

Caution:
In automatic telescoping operation, check the icon "Boom operational” for illuminating.
If not, grease the boom sections.

0063152-000-04-20Y

4) Limitations for manual telescoping operation


The movement “Extend the telescopic cylinder” will be switched off automatically to
prevent the telescopic cylinder from being damaged if following prerequisites are met:
– All telescopic sections are telescoped in completely;
– Telescopic cylinder is unlocked;
– Telescopic cylinder is in the tail of telescopic section V;
– Icons “Cylinder pin beyond its target hole” and “Boom pin operational” light up.
In this case, only the telescopic section IV can be telescoped in.
Activate the bypass key switch to release this limitation.

Caution:
Do not press and hold the bypass key switch for a long time with other tools.
Otherwise, risk of inestimable loss.

5) Methods for identifying which boom section is carrying out movement


– Method 1
The lighted boom codes show that the corresponding telescopic sections will
carry out movements.
Control light “Boom code" lights up: 1
Control light “Boom code" goes out: 0
Number of telescopic section = “Code 1” * 1 + “Code 2” *2 + “Code 3” *4
For example:
If control light on Code 1 and Code 2 light up, the telescopic section III will carry
out movements.
– Method 2
Observe the boom code from the following area of Fig.12.

The icon of telescopic section I is highlighted in green which indicates the


telescopic section I is to carry out relevant movements.
– Method 3
The times the control light flashes every interval show that the
corresponding telescopic section will carry out movements.

6) If the boom section is unpinned, icon 4 displays the current boom length for boom pin
opened and icon 5 displays the target boom length for boom pin closed.
The length of telescopic cylinder will vary with the moving of joystick.
7) Icon 8 (Target telescoping section) indicates that the corresponding boom section
highlighted in green will carry out relevant movements. For example, in Fig. 12, the
highlighted section is telescopic section I. So, the telescopic section I is to carry out
telescoping movements.

Points for attention during telescoping


(1) In automatic telescoping operation, the telescopic cylinder will drive the boom to
retract automatically if the telescopic section is unpinned (the control light "Boom
unpinned” lights up);
If the boom does not retract for a long time:
– Change automatic telescoping to manual telescoping;
– Extend the boom for 5 – 10 mm with slow gear (the second stage);
– Retract it again with slow gear (the second stage).
In this case, the operator must observe the above procedures; otherwise, risk of great
impact on the boom during retracting.
(2) If the boom pin cannot be closed during the process of telescoping in the boom
automatically:
– Change automatic telescoping to manual telescoping;
– Open the boom pin manually until the control light “Boom pinned” lights up;
– Change to automatic telescoping again.
If the boom pin still cannot be closed, repeat above steps.
(3) If the icon “Boom telescoping fault” lights up during automatic telescoping operation
under the condition that the crane has worked for a long time:
– Change automatic telescoping to manual telescoping;
– Extend the telescopic cylinder with slow gear (the second stage) until the length
of the telescopic cylinder varies.
If the icon 5 lights up during extending the cylinder:
Retract the telescopic cylinder till both the control light 3 (Cylinder pin beyond its
hole) and control light 4 (Cylinder pin not reaching its hole) all light up;
– Change to automatic telescoping again.

(Following instructions are for crane equipped with Hong’ an computer system)

4.2 Computer system

4.2.1 General

Notice!
Note:
The monitor illustrations in this chapter are only examples. The numerical values in the
individual icons and tables do not necessarily match exactly to the crane.
The load moment limiter is a computer system for controlling and monitoring mobile cranes. In
addition to controlling the boom telescoping via computer programs, it is also of self-diagnosis
function.
The load moment limiter calculates data from the pressure sensor, length sensors, angle
sensors and other monitoring devices to judge whether the crane is in safe working conditions,
and displays the basic parameters, such as boom length, boom angle, working radius, rated
lifting capacity etc., on the LCD.
If the actual load is greater than 90% of the rated one, the warning light lights up and buzzer
sends out slow acoustic warning.
If the actual load is greater than 100% of the rated one, the warning light lights up and buzzer
sends out fast acoustic warning and all dangerous crane movements are switched off.
The crane can only work towards safe directions till the dangerous operation is deactivated.
The load moment limiter can prevent crane from toppling or being destructed, thus ensures
crane’s safe operation. However, do not rely entirely on the load moment limiter. If the rated
lifting load displayed on the load moment limiter is different to the one shown in lifting capacity
table, refer to the lifting capacity table.

4-39
0063152-000-04-20Y

The load moment limiter includes the following icons:


a) Auxiliary icons:
Wind speed on boom head (m/s), engine working hours, current time and date;
b) Instrument icons:
Fuel gauge, water thermometer, engine oil pressure gauge, tachometer and main pump
pressure gauge;

4.2.2 Programs

4.2.2.1 Switching on the computer system and performing self-test

After the computer system is switched on, the load moment limiter performs a self-test to check
whether the three PLC controllers are connected. If no errors are found during the test, the
monitor displays the following screen (See Fig. 1):

Fig. 1 Self-test passed


If the connection error of controller 0 (PLC) is found during the test, the monitor displays the
following screen (See Fig. 2).

Fig. 2 Self-test failed

4-41
0063152-000-04-20Y

Troubleshooting:
If an error message appears on the monitor?
a) Turn off the engine and ignition and rectify the errors (especially checking the connectors)
b) Start again to perform self-test again.
If self-test has run successfully, it switches to the “Main screen – Configuration program” (See
Fig. 3) automatically.

c) Lowering limit switch activated
d) Overload protection activated
e) Pipe overpressure protection activated
Pressing “Buzzer bypassed button” can switch off the alarm, but the current error cannot be
eliminated. The error can only be rectified manually according to actual working conditions or
the hints given by the system. The error can be found in Fig. 20: PLC status check – Control

Press the other 4 buttons to check and diagnose the system according to the requirements.

Fig.17 System checks and diagnosis Fig.18 Sensor check


a) Control system test
Carry out simulant test of load moment limiter to check the percentage between actual
load and rated load. As for detailed information, please refer to Operating Manual for Load
Moment Limiter.
b) Sensor check
Observe the real-time output values of sensors (See Fig.18).
c) PLC status check
Test the actual input and output values of PLC in different crane movements.
The frame highlighted in white displays analog quantities, and the grey frame displays
Boolean quantities.
In the following flow charts, the grey frame will be highlighted in red and the white
frame will display the corresponding data (See Fig.19 & Fig.20).
From the flow charts, the operator can check actual parameters, do diagnosis and judge
whether the operation is mis-operated.
For example, if the remote controller needs to be operated, switch “Counterweight
cylinders active” (in remote controller) must be turned to right position. If switch
“Counterweight cylinders active” is turned to left position, the remote controller will be
invalid. In this case, the frame color of “Counterweight cylinders active” (shown in Fig. 20)
will not be highlighted in red.
The crane movements "Derrick " and "Spool up / reef off main winch” can also monitor the
input and output values of PLC. The operator can monitor the parameters according to
working requirements.

4.3 Starting up the crane

4.3.1 Checks before starting up

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before starting up:
a) Checking the engine oil level
1) The machine has been leveled;
2) Pull out the dipstick and clean it;
3) Re-insert it into oil and pull out again;
4) Check whether the oil level is between MIN. and MAX. markings.

Warning:
If the oil level is lower than the Min. marking, fill oil. Otherwise, the engine will be damaged
seriously!
b) Checking oil level in hydraulic fluid reservoir
The oil level in hydraulic fluid reservoir must be between MIN. and MAX markings.
c) Checking the fuel reserve
The fuel reserve is displayed on the bottom part of load moment limiter screen. “1’
represents fuel reserve of 100% and “0” represents fuel reserve of 0%.

Caution:
Deaerate the fuel system before adding fuel.
If the fuel tank has been run dry, always deaerate the whole fuel system.
Do not run the fuel tank dry!
d) Checking the coolant level
Fill coolant expansion tank up to overflow on filler neck. If the coolant level is too low, the
warning light “ “on the instrument console in operator’s cab will light up.
The coolant used in engine is antifreeze and antirust fluid. Add antifreeze fluid in different
grades of freezing point according to different ambient temperature (Generally speaking,
the antifreeze fluid grade is -5℃ in the condition of new product leaving the factory. In
winter, the antifreeze fluid grade is -25℃ to -35℃). Never use water to substitute for
antifreeze and antirust fluid.

Danger:
Engine must be cooled to be lower than 50℃ when performing coolant level check.
Otherwise, danger of injury due to scalding of the skin!
e) Checking central lubricating system
The grease container must be kept filled with grease.
f) Checking general conditions of crane
1) Check that the crane is properly supported on a level load-bearing surface, and has
been set up horizontally;
2) Check that the toothed ring of the slewing ring connection is clean and greased;
3) Check that the front and rear parts of oil cooler and A/C radiator have been cleaned

4.4 Safety devices

4.4.1 General

Every time the crane is operated, the crane operator is required to satisfy himself about the
functionality of the safety systems.

Danger:
Danger of accident from defective warning and safety systems!
Operating the crane with defective warning and safety systems can lead to life-threatening
accidents!

4.4.2 Support control unit

To ensure the working safety of the crane, the crane must be properly supported on a level
load-bearing surface, and be set up horizontally.
A support control unit with buttons is attached to each side of the vehicle for operating the
outrigger, together with an electronic inclinometer from which the operator can observe
horizontal alignment of the crane.

Caution:
The maximum permitted deviation from the horizontal position of the crane is ± 0.6°. Otherwise
fatal accidents may be increased.

If deviation >2.0°, the


LED flashes.

If 1.6° ≤ deviation ≤ 2.0°,


the LED lights up.

If 1.2° ≤ deviation ≤1.6°,


the LED lights up.

If 0.8° ≤ deviation ≤1.2°,


the LED lights up.
If 0.4° ≤ deviation ≤0.8°,
the LED lights up.

If deviation ≤0.4°, the


LED lights up.
4.4.3 Load moment limiter

The load moment limiter is a device for controlling and monitoring the crane's movements.
If the actual load is greater than 90% of the rated one, the warning light lights up and buzzer
sends out slow acoustic warning.
If the actual load is greater than 100% of the rated one, the warning light lights up and buzzer
sends out fast acoustic warning and all dangerous crane movements are switched off.
The crane can only work towards safe directions till the dangerous operation is deactivated.

4-63
0063152-000-04-20Y

4.4.4 Hoisting / lowering limit switch


a) Lowering limit switch
In order to prevent the wire rope from being reeled reversely after being reeled off
completely, the lowering limit switches installed beside the winches will switch off the
movements ”Reel off winches” if there are only 3 rope windings remaining on the winches.
In this case, the acoustic sound will be heard and only the upward movement of the hook
is permitted. During commissioning and maintenance, activate the bypass key switch on
the control console to release the limitation.

b) Hoisting limit switch


If the hook block contacts the hoisting limit switch weight during its upward movement, the
hoisting limit switch is triggered and buzzer sounds. The crane movements “Spool up
winches”, “Derrick main boom down” and “Telescope boom out” are switched off. At this
time, only the crane movements “Reel off winches”, “Derrick main boom up” and
“Telescope boom in” can be switched on. This switch-off can be bypassed when the
hoisting limit switch is released.

0063152-000-04-20Y

4.4.5 Hydraulic safety valves

a) Relief valves in hydraulic system


The relief valves in hydraulic system can prevent the pressure in the circuit from rising too
high, thus avoid hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor from being damaged and hydraulic
system from being overloaded.
b) Outrigger locking device
If the high-pressure oil pipe which is connected to vertical cylinder is damaged, the
two-way hydraulic lock in the outrigger hydraulic circuit can block the pressure oil in the
two chambers of outrigger cylinder to prevent the outrigger from retracting or extending,
and thus ensure the safe operation of the crane.
c) Locking device for crane movement “Derrick main boom up”
If the high-pressure oil pipe in the hydraulic circuit of derricking cylinder is damaged, the
balance valve in the hydraulic circuit can lock the hydraulic oil in the lower chamber of
derricking cylinder immediately to prevent the boom upward movement from being down,
and thus ensure the safe operation of the crane.
d) Locking device for crane movement “Telescope boom out”
If the high-pressure oil pipe in the hydraulic circuit of telescopic cylinder is damaged, the
balance valve in the hydraulic circuit can lock the hydraulic oil in the upper chamber of
telescopic cylinder immediately to prevent the telescopic boom sections from retracting
naturally, and thus ensure the safe operation of the crane.

4.4.6 Bypass operation

If the hook block contacts the hoisting limit switch during its upward movement or lowering limit
switch during its downward movement, the hoisting limit switch or lowering limit switch is
triggered. The dangerous movements will be switched off.
If the maximum load moment is exceeded, the overload protection control system will switch
off all crane movements to increase load moment. The buzzer begins to send out alarm. If
necessary, this switch-off can be bypassed by the bypass key switch in operator’s cab. For
details, please refer to the relevant information of “Bypass key switch” in Chapter 4.1.5.

Danger:
If there is a need to lift or lower the hook a little under special conditions, the operator can
activate the “Bypass key switch” on the instrument console to bypass the crane’s switch-off
movements. Such operation should be performed with utmost caution to avoid accident. And
all consequences resulted from such operation should be taken by the operator!
Never telescope telescopic boom with a load. Otherwise, all consequences are rest with the
operator!

0063152-000-04-20Y

4.4.7 Wind warning system

The wind gauge is fitted on the boom head of the crane to detect the wind speed. The wind
speed appears in the screen of load moment limiter. If the actual wind speed exceeds the
maximum value, stop the crane operation and lower the boom.

Danger:
Risk of accident from crane toppling if operating in the condition of exceeding the permitted
wind speed!

Wind gauge

4.4.8 Emergency off switch

The “Emergency off switch” (See the following Fig.) is fitted on the instrument console in
operator’s cab. If it is operated, the electrical crane control is switched off. Every movement
carried out will be immediately stopped.
After emergency is removed, the switch-off can be bypassed by turning it in the arrow direction.

Warning:
Only use the “Emergency off switch” in the event of a clear emergency!
Use of the “Emergency off switch” for normal operation is not permitted!

4.5 Crane operation

4.5.1 Preparations for crane operation

Ensure that following checks are operated before operation:


a) Assess the load condition prior to lifting it;
b) Check the crane position, ground condition and surface bearing condition;
c) Check wire ropes (including wire rope’s end, winding drum and pulleys);
d) Check the liquid level and power source of the crane;
Note:
(1) Fuel reserve of the fuel tank is more than 1/4 of the tank capacity (Check the fuel
gauge);
(2) The oil level in hydraulic fluid reservoir should be between MIN. and MAX markings in
driving condition.
e) The loading and working area should be visible and without obstacles within it. Check the
communication system of operator and supervisor to ensure that nothing will hinder the
operation;
f) Check safety devices for function;
g) Remain the communication between the operator and the rigger.

Warning:
In order to protect the crane and reduce the danger of accidents, always operate the joysticks
slowly and cautiously.

Danger:
Ensure that there are no obstacles in the crane working area and no persons in danger zone.
Give a short warning signal (horn) before starting a crane movement.

0063152-000-04-20Y

4.5.2 Derricking

The telescopic boom is derricked via an oil cylinder.


The boom angle varies from -0.5° to 82°.
Operate the right joystick to derrick the telescopic boom up / down.
Before derricking, turn the switch A (Shown on the right) to left position.
Switch A
Speed of crane movement “Derricking” has 2 stages, normal gear and slow gear, which are
activated via switch B (See the following Fig.).
Normal gear:
The more the joystick is deflected to the left or right, the higher the derricking speed will be.
Slow gear:
Switch “Slow gear switch” to right position.
If the boom length < 40 m, the speed of “Derricking” is slow.
If the boom length ≥ 40 m, the speed of “Derricking” is extremely slow.

Switch B

The balance valves fitted in hydraulic system can not only ensure that the load is lifted /
lowered steadily but also keep the load at any required position.

Caution
(1) Operation should be carried out stably. Jerky operation will bring great impact to the crane
during load lifting;
(2) Never increasing the working radius with load. Operator should strictly restrict the
maximum working radius according to lifting capacity tables;
(3) Lower the hook fully before derricking up the boom;
(4) For the sake of safety, never derrick down the boom at high speed.

4-68
0063152-000-04-20Y

4.5.3 Telescoping

The boom consists of 6 oval boom sections made from low-alloy and high-strength steel.
The telescopic boom is telescoped in / out via a telescopic cylinder. The movements
“Telescope telescopic boom in / out” are controlled by the right joystick automatically. Every
telescopic section can be varied in 3 lengths: 45% of its total, 90% of its total and 100% of its
total. The telescopic cylinder cannot bear any load.
Before telescoping, turn switch A (See right Fig.) to right position.

Switch A

For the details of telescoping operation, refer to Chapter 4.2.


The balance valves fitted in hydraulic system can ensure that the boom is telescoped in / out
steadily.

Caution:
(1) When auto telescoping mode is performed, the boom angle should exceed 75°;
(2) The hook will be lifted or lowered with the crane's movements “Telescope telescopic boom
in or out”. Therefore, operate the joystick to adjust the height of hook during telescoping;
(3) Carry out telescoping movements with maximum care and minimum speed. Do not
telescope the telescopic boom with load;
(4) Do not telescope the boom out immediately after the boom is telescoped in. Initiate
telescoping movement after 2 seconds;
(5) It is forbidden to pull the load diagonally.
Before carrying out telescoping movement, check whether the block at the head of telescopic
sections is in contact with its adjacent telescopic sections tail completely. If not, adjust the
shim to make them contact completely and ensure that the boom pin and cylinder pin bear no
load under the condition of “Boom telescoped in completely”.

winch is not fitted on the slewing table during driving. The joysticks for controlling main /
auxiliary winch are fitted on the right / left control boxes in the operator’s cab.

4-70
0063152-000-04-20Y

The crane movement “Spool main winch up” or "Reef main winch off” has 3 stages, high speed,
normal speed and low speed, which are activated via the “Slow gear switch” (See the following
Fig.).
The crane movements “Spool auxiliary winch up” or "Reel auxiliary winch off” have 2 stages,
normal speed and low speed, which are also activated via the “Slow gear switch” (See the
following Fig.).
Auxiliary winch
a) Normal speed
The more the left joystick is deflected upward or downward, the higher
the speed will be.
b) Low speed
Switch “Slow gear switch” to right position.
Result
Slow gear is applied to crane movements "Spool auxiliary winch up" or “Reel auxiliary
winch off ".
Main winch
a) Normal speed
The more the right joystick is deflected upward or downward, the higher the speed will be.
b) Low speed
Switch “Slow gear switch” to right position.
Result
Slow gear is applied to crane movements "Spool main winch up" or “Reef main winch off".
c) High speed
1) Switch off “Slow gear switch”;
2) Deflect the right joystick;
3) Press and hold the button “Rapid gear for main winch”.
Result
Rapid gear is applied to crane movements "Spool main winch up" or “Reef main winch
off".
The balance valves fitted in hoist mechanism can not only ensure that the winches are spooled
up / reeled off steadily, but also make the load stay at any required position.
The wire rope may be not long enough with the boom telescoping out and derricking up. Such
problem can be solved by changing the reeving numbers of wire rope. Before changing the
reeving numbers, fit the hoisting limit switch weights. For standard reeving numbers for various
boom lengths, please refer to the lifting capacity tables.

4-71
0063152-000-04-20Y

Caution:
(1) Choose proper reevings in accordance with boom lengths;
(2) Under any conditions, there must be at least three windings of wire rope left on the
winding drum;
(3) 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 up and telescope out the boom to lift the load if the load does not leave away
from the ground;
(4) Do not change the joystick between “Spool up” and “Reel off” jerkily. The operator should
return the joystick to neutral position and ensure that the winding drum has stopped
rotating before changing between “Spool up” and “Reel off”. Otherwise, the machine will
be damaged;
(5) The slings must be of enough strength;
(6) The lifting capacity includes the mass of the hook and slings.

0063152-000-04-20Y

4.5.5 Slewing

The slewing system consists of slewing ring and slewing mechanism which includes hydraulic
motor, planet-gear reducer, slewing brake valve, brake, drive gear and so on.
a) Slewing speed
The speed of the crane movements “Slewing”, varying within 0 – 1.5r/min, is controlled by
the deflection of left joystick. The slewing speed has 2 stage, normal speed and low speed,
which can be activated by switching on the “Slow gear switch”. The low speed offers good
micro-positioning performance.
b) Slewing operation
Slewing movements can be activated by the deflection of the left joystick fitted in the
operator’s cab.

Caution:
(1) Ensure that the superstructure is unpinned before initiating the slewing movement. Insert
and secure the pin after finishing this operation;
(2) Ensure that there are no obstacles in the crane slewing area and no persons in the danger
zone. Give a short warning signal (horn) before starting a crane movement;
(3) Initiate the slewing movements smoothly. It is prohibited to stop slewing movements or
change slewing direction jerkily;
(4) Longer boom length – lower slewing speed;
(5) Heavier load - lower slewing speed;
(6) In order to ensure safe operation of a new crane, the user must check bolts of slewing ring
and tighten the bolts with 1850N.m tightening torque after initiating for 100 operating
hours. Then check and tighten the bolts after 100 and 300 operating hours. After that, do
the checks every 500 hours;
(7) The switch “Extend or retract counterweight cylinders” (See
the Fig. on the right) must be turned to left position before
slewing. Otherwise, switches on the instrument panel are
inactivated and the left joystick cannot initiate slewing
movements. The slewing movements are controlled by the
remote control box.

5.1 Safety technical guidelines for assembly

a) The hoist rope must be reeved between the rope pulley on the boom head and hook
pulley in accordance with the corresponding reevings specified in lifting capacity table;
b) Counterweight plates must be fitted according to lifting capacity tables;
c) Lattice components which are not in contact with ground during assembly / disassembly
must be supported by appropriate and stable materials;

Danger:
(1) All assembly work must be carried out using suitable aids (scaffolding or lifting
platforms, etc.)! If this is not observed, personnel could fall and suffer life-threatening
injures;
(2) Do not stand beneath the lattice jib especially when the lattice jib is being pinned or
unpinned.
d) If the lattice components are pushed inside each other for transportation purposes, they
much each be secured with 2 chains;

Danger:
If lattice components are not secured, the inside lattice components will slide out and fall
down. This can result in life-threatening injuries to personnel.
e) Perform the following checks before supporting the crane:
1) Check whether the axle suspension is locked;
2) Check whether the ground provides adequate load-bearing capacity;
3) Check whether the support pads are secured in their operating positions;
4) Check whether the crane is horizontally aligned;
5) Check whether there is sufficient safety clearance to slopes and ditches;
6) Check that the tires are not in contact with the ground;
7) Check whether there are any live cables within the operating range of the crane;
8) Ensure that the work can be carried out with minimum boom projection;
9) Check that there are no obstacles which might hinder required crane movement;
10) 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 age;

Danger:
The ropes must be removed immediately if any of the following damage is detected.
(1) Breakage of a strand;
(2) Wire breaks;
(3) Broken wire nests;
(4) Reduction in the rope diameter by more than 10% of the nominal size;

Danger:
After replacing the hoist rope, the lowering limit switch must be readjusted to switch
off when only 3 hoist rope windings remain on the winch; otherwise, the rope end
attachment may be torn out causing the load to topple.
11) Depressurize hydraulic system before connecting and disconnecting the hydraulic
lines with quick-release couplings (Turn off the engine and wait for about 5 minutes).
The hydraulic couplings should be tightened or unscrewed by hand rather than by
tools, otherwise, couplings will be damaged;;

Danger:
Please ensure that the quick-release couplings are connected correctly. Incorrectly
coupled quick-release couplings can result in accident from pressure loss or sudden
leakage.
12) Before setting-up and taking-down the boom (assembling the jib and jib extension),
ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
– The crane is properly supported and level;
– The telescopic boom is fully telescoped in;
– The jib and jib extension have been fitted and the counterweight has been
attached to the slewing table in accordance with the lifting capacity table;
– All pinned connections have been secured;
– All limit switches have been correctly fitted and are fully operational;
– The hoist rope has been correctly placed in the rope pulleys with the rope
guards to prevent it from jumping out;

Warning:
Never use the heater during driving if engine coolant temperature is below 70℃.

Caution:
(1) Do not use air conditioning when the engine is stopped or is running at idle speed;
otherwise, it will cause excessive battery consumption and thus affect normal driving;
(2) If the vehicle continuously drives at low speed, please downshift 1 gear to increase the
engine RPM. If start the vehicle suddenly or climb long ascending gradients, please
switch off the air conditioning to prevent the engine from overheating;
(3) In winter or other periods without using air conditioning, run the air conditioning for
several minutes once a month to benefit the lubricating circulation and ensure the system
in good state;
(4) Check refrigerant regularly. If there is no or not enough refrigerant, add it timely;
(5) If there are abnormal vibration, noise or smell during operation, stop and examine the
machine immediately. Never run with faults;
(6) Clean the surface of condenser regularly. Do not clean it with steam. Clean it with
compressed air or cold water;
(7) Never dismantle the belt or pipeline of compressor after using the air conditioning;
(8) In summer, close the shutoff gate valve on the hot-water pipe of heater at the bottom of
driver's cab; otherwise refrigeration effect may be affected. In winter, open the shutoff
gate valve to make hot water enter into the heater. For hot water type heater, engine
coolant temperature will affect the interior temperature. If the engine coolant temperature

Note:
For emergency operation, please refer to Table 1 and Illustration 2.
As illustrated in the Time-sequential table, if carry out emergency operations of crane
movements “Slewing” and “Spooling up / reeling off winches”, corresponding brake valves
must be actuated except the emergency operation of crane movement “Derricking”.
If the winches cannot start and movement cannot be initiated with load, open the Y12a,
Y12b, Y14a and Y14b for a few minutes to supply hydraulic oil to the winches (open
valve “a” for 8 seconds at first, and then open valve “b” for 8 seconds. Repeat the
process for 10 times), so as to prevent the hook from being down (it is supposed to
lift).
The emergency operations of tilting operator’s cab and lifting counterweight can be operated
by the manual control levers on their corresponding control valve blocks.

6.3.2.3 Emergency brake

If there is no compressed air pressure and the air brake system is failed, the brake chamber
springs installed in the 3rd to the 5th axle are actuated to make the vehicle in parking brake
state.
If you want to move the vehicle compulsorily, the parking brake condition must be released.
Detailed steps are as follows:
– Loosen the nuts at the chamber tail with spanner;
– Screw out the threaded rod for about 2.52 in (64mm).
Positions of spring brake chamber and adjusting nuts for spring are illustrated in the following
diagram.

7.4 Lubrication

7.4.1 Hydraulic oil

The hydraulic oil tanks for crane superstructure and chassis have been topped up with
hydraulic oil before delivery.
Oil brands for superstructure: NUTO H32 (for frigid zone)
NUTO H46 (for tropical and temperate zone)
Oil brand for chassis: L-HV32 (GB11118.1-94)

Caution:
The quality, viscosity and cleanness of hydraulic oil are the most key factors for normal
operations of the crane.
Ignorance to the changing of hydraulic oil will cause various faults and greatly shorten the
service life of the crane.
Our company will not take any responsibilities for any consequences caused by not complying
with the requests stipulated in this manual during oil changing and filtering.

7-13
0063152-000-07-20Y

7.4.1.2 Changing steps

a) Change hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank


1) Drain out the hydraulic oil;
2) Remove master oil return pipe;
3) Clean the oil tank and filter with chemical cleaning agent (solid particle pollution
grade ≤18/15) carefully;
4) Wash with new hydraulic oil (solid particle pollution grade ≤ 18/15) after drying;
5) Drain out the washing oil;
6) Add new hydraulic oil.
b) Run the engine at low speed to start the pump and drive the mechanisms (to drain out
the original oil in every circuit of the system with new hydraulic oil)
Note:
The original oil is not permitted to return to the oil tank.
Do not stop the oil pump until new oil flows out from the master oil return pipe.
Add new oil continuously into the hydraulic tank to prevent the oil pump from inhaling air.
c) Connect master oil return pipe and oil tank
d) Set each component to initial working state
e) Add hydraulic oil to the required level
Note:
Add oil and deaerate from oil outlet after oil changing to avoid crane abnormal working
and damage.

Caution:
(1) Filter or change the hydraulic oil immediately once it is polluted seriously;
(2) Choose proper hydraulic oil according to the ambient temperature;
(3) The hydraulic oil of different brands cannot be mixed;
(4) Service time of hydraulic oil must be within 24 months, and it cannot be used any more
after 24 months even if it has been filtered.

Liquid level gauge

7-14
0063152-000-07-20Y

7.4.1.3 Checking the oil temperature

A liquid level gauge is installed at the front or rear end surface of hydraulic tank.
Observe the temperature of hydraulic oil from the marks on the liquid level gauge.
The highest working temperature: 80°C.

7.4.1.4 Checking the oil level

Check the oil level in crane’s driving condition (with all the oil cylinders retracted).
The oil temperature and level can be checked from the marks on the liquid level gauge.
Ensure that the oil level is between the minimum and maximum marks in the condition of all
the oil cylinders retracted when filling oil.
The mark 0°C is the minimum mark.
If the oil level has dropped below the minimum mark, top up with hydraulic oil until the oil level
is between the minimum and maximum marks.

The cooling water added in the diesel engine must be softened water mixed with 5-in-1
environmental-friendly antifreeze or anti-rusting and long-acting antifreeze fluid.
This crane has been added with 50% softened water mixed with 50% 5-in-1
environmental-friendly antifreeze fluid, specification -25℃ and suitable for ambient
temperature above -5℃.
As for detailed instructions, please refer to Antifreeze Operating Manual.
If you want to change the 5-in-1 environmental antifreeze fluid into long-acting antifreeze fluid,
the long-acting antifreeze fluid must observe the requirements as follows:
a) The long-acting antifreeze fluid is of the ability of anti-rusting and antifreezing. As for the
dosage of long-acting antifreeze fluid, see its manual.
b) As for the long-acting antifreeze fluid produced in China, its dosage can be checked in the

7.5 Adjusting, cleaning and replacing parts

7.5.1 Replacing the wire rope

Regular checking of the rope is required, especially before using after installing. Moreover,
check the wire rope strictly if special tightening force is acting on the rope, or invisible
damages and new damages occur on the rope.
Suspended wire ropes, rope end connections and drive elements of some wire ropes must be
checked at regular intervals. Check to ensure that the drum and the pulley can rotate
smoothly on their mounting positions, and no obvious indentation of wire rope occurs in the
path of motion for the wire rope.

Caution:
After the rope is used for a period, its strength will be reduced to such an extent that continued
use thereof may be dangerous.

7.5.1.1 Take-down criteria

a) There is 10% broken rope in one strand (excluding the break caused by damage to the
rope core);
b) The diameter is reduced by more than 7% of its nominal diameter;
c) The wire rope is reverse bent or knot;
d) The wire rope is seriously deformed; wire core is revealed, birdcage deformed and is in
corrosion.

Danger:
The wire ropes must be taken down before they reach the above 4 stages.
e) Tension caused by rope coming out from the pulley;
f) Damage caused by heavy objects;
g) Damage caused by electric welding or gas welding;
h) Damage caused by short circuit;
i) Damage caused by the effect of heat;

Caution:
The wire ropes can be taken down according to the wearing conditions before they reach the
above 5 stages.

7-30
0063152-000-07-20Y

Illustration - Damaged wire ropes (For reference only)

7-31
0063152-000-07-20Y

Danger:
The ropes must be taken down immediately if following stages occur.
(1) One strand is broken.
(2) Rope is broken in a small range.
(3) Corkscrew-like deformation: deformation (See picture 1), at the worst point is 1/3 the
nominal diameter of the rope.
(4) Birdcage deformation (See picture 2).
(5) Loop formation (See picture 3).
(6) Loosening of single wires or wire braids (See picture 4).
(7) Knots (See picture 5).
(8) Flattening (See picture 6).
(9) Curling and kinks (See picture 7).
(10) Bends (See picture 8).
If exceptional damages occurred on the rope, the operator must find out the reason and repair
it before replacing the rope.
Damages and friction trace on the crane can provide important clues.

Warning:
If there are any dangerous safety operations, please stop using the wire rope and consult
experts.

7-32
0063152-000-07-20Y

7.5.1.2 Maintenance

Regular maintenance of the rope is required in order to ensure safe operation of the crane
and to greatly increase the service life of the rope.
Within certain intervals, the rope should be lubricated with grease or oil in accordance with the
operating conditions of the rope, particularly in areas in which the rope is subjected to bending
when it runs over the drum and pulleys.
Under the same testing conditions, curvature for well-lubricated rope is 4 times larger than the
rope without lubrication. The lubricant that is used must be compatible with the original one.

Caution:
The lubricant that is used on the rope must be standard commercial lubricant which is
recommended by the manufacturer. Please refer to lubricating tables.
Dirty ropes should be regularly cleaned with brush.
In the event that the lower layers on the drum are used infrequently or not at all, they would be
re-loosened and re-tensioned by pre-tightening force. A rope is most cost-effective when the
entire length is used. An appropriate rope length should therefore be used when operating the
crane over longer periods.
If one certain rope section is more frequently used than the other sections, turnover the rope
at regular intervals. Connect the original rope free end to the drum, so that the working
frequency can be balanced. In this way, service life of the rope can be greatly increased. The
modification of quick-connected rope end should be performed by the wire rope manufacturer.

7.5.1.3 Twisting caused by stretching in non-twisting ropes

The twisting of new wire rope, which has been placed or used for a period, caused by
stretching in non-twisting ropes should be remedied.
When the hook pulley block is operated with multi-reevings, and when the load is lowered and
/ or the rope outer strand seems loose and even arch type appears on the rope, warn in time
and adjust the twisted parts.
Generally speaking, a twisting-proof device is fitted on the fixing point of hoist rope. As for the
ropes without the twisting-proof device, please refer to instructions in 7.5.1.4 ”Remedying the
twisting”.

7-33
0063152-000-07-20Y

7-34
0063152-000-07-20Y

7.5.1.4 Remedying the twisting

a) Lowering the hook block


Lower the hook block as low as possible to adjust the rope between the pulley on boom
head and the hook pulley in the maximum length.
b) Judging the rotating direction
Judge that in which direction the hook pulley block is twisted.
The rotating direction is indicated by an actual-line arrowhead on the picture.
As the judgment is hard to make, especially when the hoist rope is extremely long, rotate
the rope in the dotted-line arrowhead direction and check. As a result, the twisted ropes
can certainly be loosened.
c) Loosening the rope at a fixing point
After making sure the rotating direction, loosen the rope at a fixing point on the hook
pulley.

Caution:
As for the adjusting twisted force, the rope reeved on the hook pulley block in odd
number is favorable. Under this circumstance, the fixing end of rope is on the hook, so
the rope can be easily loosened.
d) Rotate the rope end from the 180° position to 360° position carefully, and adjust the
rotation of hook pulley block.
As for the adjustment of rotation, the rotating direction is indicated (by actual-line
arrowhead) on the rope end.

Caution:
It is important for the operator to hold the rope in his front and select correct reference
point.
The rightward rotated rope (Z) as indicated in Picture 1 and the leftward rotated rope (S)
as indicated in Picture 4 must be adjusted by being rotated in. The rightward rotated rope
(Z) as indicated in Picture 2 and the leftward rotated rope (S) as indicated in Picture 3
must be adjusted by being rotated out.
Rules for adjusting twisted rope: the rope end must be rotated in reverse rotating
direction, so that the twisted ropes can be loosened.

Warning:
The rope to be rotated must be as long as possible, so that the rope can be rotated in the
whole length through hoisting motions without load. It is not allowed to rotate the rope on a
short rope section by outside force, as the structure of wire rope can be damaged
permanently.
e) Connecting the rope to the fixing point
After rotating the rope, connect the rope end to the fixing point and tighten.

7-35
0063152-000-07-20Y

f) Raise the hook without load. Repeat this procedure if necessary.


It is relatively safe for the rope structure which is not stretched. This kind of rope only
stretches a little (the twisting will not exceed the head pulley block actually); therefore,
carry out hoisting motions without load for several times.
After the twisting of the rope end being adjusted, re-connect the rope end to the fixing
point, and repeat hoisting motions without load once or for several times. In this way, the
adjusting function for twisting can be spread all over the whole length of the rope across
the head pulley block.

Caution:
When the stretching phenomenon of wire rope is serious (multi-twisting on lower pulley
block and / or the outer strand of a long rope section loosens on several points), repeat
this procedure if necessary in accordance with the length of hoist rope.

7-36
0063152-000-07-20Y

7.5.1.5 Methods for replacing and reeving the wire rope

Danger:
The rope must be replaced with a rope that is of the same type, same diameter and same
reliability as the original.
If the wire rope is of another type, permission from the crane manufacturer should be obtained
at first.
Wire ropes can be easily damaged by external force, so special attentions should be paid
during transportation or when there is no load on them.
Wire ropes should be kept in clean, low temperature and dry places, and should not be laid on
the earthen ground.
Wire ropes can only work normally without twisting or other external damages.

7-37
0063152-000-07-20Y

Correct reeving method:

Wire ropes can be reeved directly on the drum or ring-type objects (See picture 1).
Do not reeve the rope laterally. Because the ropes will be twisted and be damaged by pulling
force.
The best method is to reeve the rope from a higher drum to the lower one (See picture 2).
The rope reeving direction should be the same as its bending direction to prevent additional
stress, so that ropes can be reeved on the drum in good state.

Warning:
Do not drag the rope on the ground to prevent the rope being dirtied.
The rope must be connected with the rotating union to prevent non-twisting ropes from being
twisted caused by outer force.
If the ropes are reeved on the drum in multi-layer, the downmost layer should be tensioned
with a pre-tightening force of 1% to 2% of the minimum breaking force of the rope. This
pre-tightening force can be obtained from the drum brake.
For the pulley block, the hoist rope should be reeved in the same direction as in the drum. If
the ropes are limited by their length, the ropes must be laid on the ground when the ropes are
being reeved onto the hook to ensure that the ropes are not twisted.
After replacing the ropes, test them with part of the load, and then shrink the rope by several
hoisting motions to changeover between the hook with load and the hook without hook. In this
way, the rope can adapt to the bending direction and diameter of the pulley and the drum.

7-38
0063152-000-07-20Y

Replacing the hoist rope


a) Changing crane operating conditions
1) Level the crane on firm and load-bearing ground;
2) Telescope in the boom completely.
b) How to replace the hoist rope
1) Lower the main hook and set it on the ground;

Caution:
Operate carefully to avoid the rope from disordering on the drum.
2) Take down the rope lock and take out the pouch socket;

Keep the parts orderly and do not lose them.

7-39
0063152-000-07-20Y

3) Lower the hook, reeve out the rope from the drum and pull out the rope manually;

Caution:
The lowering limit switch will be activated when only 3 hoist rope windings are left on
the main winch. Press the bypass key switch to release the limitation until the wire
rope is reeled off completely.
4) Take down the rope from the drum;
5) Reeve the new rope (in reverse sequence of above steps);
6) Derrick the boom up and telescope it out. Lower the hook until only 3 hoist rope
windings are left on the winch;

Caution:
Do not lower the hook excessively to avoid rope damage and accident.
7) Reeve the wire rope on the drum with a load whose weight is 30% of the max.
permitted lifting capacity per strand;
Weight of the load: W=0.3NP

Rope reeving: N

Max. permitted lifting capacity


per strand: P

Caution:
Do not exceed the rated lifting capacity.
8) Unload the load from the main hook.

7-40
0063152-000-07-20Y

7.5.2 Replacing the hook

The hook must be taken down by being assessed in accordance with the following
circumstances: (welding up of hook’s disfigurement is not allowed):
a) There’s crack and crevasse on the surface of the hook;
b) The hook’s split degree should not exceed 10% of the original dimension;
c) The abrasion of the dangerous sectional plane reaches 10% of the original dimension;
d) The wear extent of the sectional plane in the point where wire rope suspended exceeds
10% of the original height;
e) The torsion and deformation of hook exceeds 10°;
f) There is plastic deformation in dangerous sectional plane such as the tail of hook, the
screw threaded part and hook web.

7.5.3 Checking and replacing return-line filter

The return-line filter is installed on the hydraulic oil tank to filter the impurities, thus to maintain
the extreme cleanliness when topping up the oil.
WY-type filter has a perpetual alnico which can filter the iron grain bigger than 1um in the oil
and also filter partly the magnetism and none-magnetism mixture. Thus it can greatly improve
the working reliability and prolong the service life of the hydraulic system.
The texture of the filter is non-woven chemical fabric with the advantage of the high filtering
precision, big oil-through capacity, low original pressure loss, great pollution tolerance
capacity and so on. And its filter precision can be calibrated by the absolute filter precision. Its
filter ratio and efficiency meet the requirements of ISO.
Unscrew and remove the filter cover to replace the return-line filter.
The filtered impurities will not flow into the hydraulic oil tank if the filtered is replaced because
the hydraulic oil flows into the hydraulic oil tank via the inner layer of the filter.
a) Replacing intervals:

Every 6 months

From the delivery date Replace the filter

Caution:
Shut off the hydraulic pump when replacing the filter.

7.5.9 Tires / wheels

7.5.9.1 Inflating the tires

Before inflating the tires, ensure that following prerequisites are met:
a) the tires are correctly fitted to the rim
b) the clamp collar is correctly seated
c) the maximum permitted tire pressure must not be exceeded
d) check pressure of tires only when they are in cold state

Danger:
(1) Damaged tires, insufficient air inflation or the same tire with different pressure may cause
increased accidents!
(2) When checking the tire inflation pressure on the vehicle or when replacing tires, please
ensure beforehand that the clamp collar is correctly assembled. Otherwise, risk of
accident may occur. If the clamp collar is not correctly seated, please obtain the
assistance of a specialist. Check that disk wheels are safe before starting off.

7.5.9.2 Changing the wheel

The wheel is one of the most important safety components on the vehicle. For this reason,
please check the wheels at the rim and the disk wheel for the following conditions when
changing the tires:
a) Excessive rust or corrosion
b) Bent disk wheel flanges
c) Cracks in the disk wheel
d) Cracks in the wheel spoke
e) Damage to wheel clamp collar
f) Damage to bolt, nut and tapping hole
g) Matching parts for disk wheel
If damaged rims are discovered during checking:
– Remove them and replace them with new parts;
If paint damage or minor rust formation is found:
– Make good the wheels by removing the rust using commercially available paint. Pay
special attention to having a perfect surface in the tire seating area.

Danger:
No welding work is permitted on rims and wheel disks, particularly repairs to worn pin holes
and changing disk wheel. Disk wheel with worn pin holes must be scrapped immediately.
Repairing these highly-stressed disk wheel components causes structural transformations in
the material that can lead to premature overload breakage.

7-50
0063152-000-07-20Y

7.5.9.3 Checking the axle alignment

The axle alignment must be checked at regular intervals. Failure to perform this check can
result in increased tire wear. If extremely high stress has occurred such as driving against
curbs, it is extremely important to check the axle alignment.
Depending on the tire function, different wear patterns occur based on where it is located. We
recommend intervals in the range of 6 months or 5,000km. This process has a positive impact
on driving comfort and tire life.

Illustration – Tire rotation on axles 1, 2 and 5

Illustration – Tire rotation on axles 3 and 4

Caution:
Always have the axle alignment adjusted by a trained expert with special equipment.

7-51
0063152-000-07-20Y

7.5.9.4 Limit of vehicle speed

As the highest vehicle speed of tires is limited (The maximum vehicle speed of Michelin tires
used in our crane is 80 km/h), never overdrive. Otherwise, the tires will be overheated and
their service life will be shortened. Override is also harmful for maintenance and service of the
vehicle.
Do fix your attention on driving. Get out of the way from obstacles (e.g. holes in the ground) in
the front. Slow down to drive over if they cannot be avoided.

7.5.9.5 Storage of tires / wheels

Tires / wheels must be placed vertically. They should be stored in cool and dry places instead
of exposing in the air to prevent them from ageing.
Tires are made of rubber. Do not contact them with chemical substances such as oil, acid and
hydrocarbon during driving, parking or storing to avoid corrosion, deformation and softening.
Tire projecting rims or tire bead toes should be protected during storage, transportation and
installation, so as to keep its tightness.

7-52
0063152-000-07-20Y

7.6 Transportation and storage

7.6.1 Transportation and its points for attention

The crane can be driven by its power or be transported by train or any other carriers for a long
distance. During transportation, the wheels should be blocked with wooden wedges, and the
complete vehicle should be secured with wire ropes. Lock the doors and the windows, and
adopt preventive measures against rain. The lifting positions are shown in the following
illustration:

Warning:
Slings must be of enough strength!

Intermediately extend the 4 outriggers. Secure the 4 outriggers with the lifting rope lock and
take them as the lifting points.
Note:
Wire ropes should not contact the crane directly; otherwise the crane would be scraped.

7-53
0063152-000-07-20Y

7.6.2 The storage conditions and the points for attention in storage

If the crane is not put into use for a long time (over 3 months), the following protective
measures should be taken:
a) Wipe off dust and oily filth to keep the crane clean;
b) Retract all the piston rods of the cylinders to their Min. length;
c) Inflate the tires to specified pressure and put wooden blocks beneath the tires to keep
them away from the ground;
d) Demount the battery and keep it in a dry and ventilating place. Charge it periodically;
e) The surfaces of all exposed components should be greased to prevent them against
corrosion with rust;
f) Clean out dust and sand from wire ropes and grease them with lubricating oil;
g) The crane should be stored in a garage. If not, it must be covered with water-proof cloth
to prevent it against corrosion. In the rainy season, check the crane frequently to prevent
it against rain leakage and corrosion with rust. In winter, antifreeze measures should be
taken;
h) Start the machine once a month and operate all the mechanisms at idle speed to check
whether they work normally;
i) Assign a person to keep the crane in the perfect condition to make it ready for operation
at any time;
j) For the crane which has been stored for more than three months, run it at idle speed for
at least an hour every three months and carry out cleaning and maintenance periodically.
As for the crane which has been stored for more than one and half years, besides routine
cleaning and maintenance, replace the aged sealing elements.

Chapter 8 Crane inspections
1145-000-08Y

8.1 Re-inspections

8.1.1 General

This crane was tested and commissioned at the manufacturer’s facilities prior to shipment in
accordance with the latest national standards.
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. After it has been licensed, the crane operator must have the crane
inspected by a competent inspector, as necessary. The inspection frequency varies with the
application situations and the operating conditions, but the minimum interval is one year. See:
GB3811, GB/T6068.
If the crane is sold to other countries or regions, local standards can also apply. The crane
must be inspected by an authorized inspector every four years after it has been licensed. After
the 12th year of operation, the crane must be inspected annually by an authorized inspector.

Warning:
There is a risk of weakening the supporting components when major changes or repairs are
made to the crane!
In such cases, the operator must have the crane inspected by a competent inspector before
putting it back into service.
A competent inspector is someone who has a thorough understanding of cranes based on
technical training and experience and is knowledgeable about the relevant national
occupational safety regulations, accident prevention regulations and generally accepted
engineering principles and is able to assess that the crane is safe to operate.
A professional engineer is someone who has rich experience in designing, manufacturing and
maintaining lifting equipment (e.g., crane) and is knowledgeable about the relevant
regulations and standards and is able to use necessary equipment to inspect, so as to access
whether lifting equipment are safe and to determine what measures to be taken.
Re-inspection of crane is principally a visual inspection, wherein the inspector and engineer
appraise the condition of the crane and its components. The purpose of the inspections is to
prevent accidents by detecting deficiencies in a timely fashion. Any deficiencies determined
by the inspector and engineer must be documented, corrected, and subsequently solved.
A number of important examples of items that are particularly important during the periodic
crane inspections are listed in the following: We wish to advise that only competent inspector
and professional engineer take sole responsibility for the inspections that they carry out. This
chapter does not necessary cover the entire scope of the inspections.
A checklist for periodic inspections recommended for ZOOMLION truck cranes and all-terrain
cranes is included in the appendix to assist the inspectors.
If the inspector has any questions, they should be directed to ZOOMLION’s service
department or other relevant departments.

Danger:
Risk of accident!
Adhere to the following inspection guidelines and intervals.

8-1
1145-000-08Y

8.1.2 Steel bearing structures inspection

Steel bearing components such as telescopic booms, slewing tables, chassis frame,
outriggers and rims must be carefully inspected, at the very least during the annual
recommended crane inspections. Even though weld joints are not normally situated at
maximum load locations, it is nevertheless important that they be inspected with particular
care during the periodic inspections.
If the crane was subjected to excessive operating loads; e.g.; due to an unusual impact, the
load-bearing components must be inspected immediately. If damages (e.g., cracks) are
apparent in any part of the steel structure, the total extent of the damage must be determined
by qualified specialists using appropriate material test methods: e.g., ultrasound or X-rays.
The specialists should then advise whether or not the damaged area can be repaired by
welding or other means.
The following diagrams are samples of the load-bearing weld designs. 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.

Warning:
The scope and extend 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!

8.2.3.3 Inspection intervals for brake

Check the following items in regular intervals besides function test and performance test:
 Check the condition of the friction lining every 3 month;
 Dismantle brake drum and check the condition of each component inside the brake every
12 months.

Warning:
Do not brake after dismantling the brake drum.

a) If the remaining lining thickness is less than 1mm (thickness of the new friction lining is
18mm) from rivet, it is imperative that the friction linings (friction pad) are replaced;
Replace worn or oily friction lining.

Danger:
Always replace all the friction linings on each axle simultaneously.

b) The operation of changing the position of brake drum:

Caution:
The diameter should not be over 0.75% of specified diameter during the operation of
changing the position of brake drum.

1145-000-08Y

8.2.4 Inspecting the hoist and slewing mechanisms

The hoisting and slewing mechanisms are designed using integrated planetary reducers. The
gearboxes are sized for long life and the propeller shafts and gear wheels are rated for
endurance.
Even through the hoist and slewing mechanisms are designed for long life, an external visual
inspection is not adequate, since their life can be significantly affected by bad maintenance,
defective seals, improper operation or overuse.
The inspection must therefore be carried out by a competent inspector in accordance with the
following requirements:
a) 1000 hours of operation, minimum once per year;
b) Inspecting oil level
For hoisting winch reducer, we recommend that the oil be drained and the amount
compared to the specified oil quality;
c) Evaluating oil color
Assume that the oil has been overheated if it is black and /or a burnt oil smell is detected.
Change the oil;
d) Evaluation of foreign substances found in the oil
If gear oil is polluted seriously, change it even if it has not reached the oil change
intervals.
This inspection should be carried out by a qualified laboratory. The used oil shall be
dribbled onto the specified woven filter medium. Visual inspection using a magnifying
glass may reveal coarse particles. If particles are detected, all the oil’s properties must be
examined by a qualified laboratory.
The maximum permissible quantity of foreign material measured by weight is 0.15% of
total oil weight and the quantity of all mechanical pollutants is not over 0.05% of total oil
weight.
If above values are exceeded, check to determine the root cause of the excessive
abrasion. Damaged components shall be replaced and fresh oil be refilled.

Warning:
Repairs may only be carried out by specialists with appropriate equipment knowledge.
e) Visual inspection
The reducer shall be checked for leakage, since loss of oil, in addition to polluting the
environment, can lead to gear failure.
f) Inspecting the brakes
Check the brakes each time the drive devices are inspected.
If the brakes are invalid, they shall be dismantled to determine the cause. Do not use the
crane until the failures are removed. Whenever a planetary drive device is dismantled
because of accumulated pollutants in the oil, the brakes shall also be inspected.

Warning:
Only qualified personnel with specialized knowledge shall be used to do the repair work.

8 - 13
1145-000-08Y

g) Documenting the completed inspection and tests


The results of each inspections and maintenance work, including the contents, tasks and
data, shall be documented by the competent or authorized inspector.
The “design life” is not equal to the real life of the mechanism. The actual life is affected
by many additional outside factors, for example:
1) Overload;
2) Inadequate maintenance:
- Oil is not changed in a timely manner
- Using the wrong type of oil
- Too much or too little oil
- Contamination during oil changes
3) Improper operation: extreme acceleration or braking of the load;
4) Assembly errors during repair and maintenance;
5) Undetected leakage;
6) Incorrectly set safety devices or safety devices defects;
7) Extreme environmental conditions:
- Extreme temperatures
- Corrosive atmosphere
- Dust and dirt

Caution:
The reducers must be repaired after using for 10 years.

8.2.5 Inspecting the hooks

The hooks must be often inspected by a competent inspector.


The purpose of the inspections is to avoid accidents by detecting deficiencies in a timely
fashion.
Any deficiencies determined by the inspector must be documented, corrected, and
subsequently reinspected. Inspecting items are as follows:
a) The hook should be inspected for distortion as required, but at least once a year; e.g., at
the hook jaw. Hook jaw distortion may not exceed 10% of the original dimensions. Do not
use a hook that exhibits greater distortion.
b) The hook should be inspected for thread corrosion/wear and tear. Stop using the hook
after finding it.

8 - 14
1145-000-08Y

8.2.6 Inspecting the wire rope pulleys

Inspect the entire wire rope pulley assemblies for damage and crack at least once a year.
If wire rope pulleys are subjected to any impacts (e.g., with buildings) or are subjected to other
outside forces other than load forces, they must be immediately visually inspected for damage
or cracks.

Danger:
Risk of accident when damaged or cracked!
Replace wire rope pulley as soon as possible.
Also 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.

8.2.7 Inspecting the crane wire ropes

Wire ropes shall be checked regularly. Strict inspection must be made to the ropes which are
to be newly used after installation. Furthermore, if wire ropes are subjected to special
tightening force or damages to ropes are invisible or damages just appear, particular attention
must be paid to checking safety of wire ropes in the following aspects:
a) Type and number of wire breaks;
b) Position and time of wire breaks;
c) Rope diameter reduction during working;
d) External and internal wear, corrosion and deformation;
e) Damage caused by the effects of heat
f) Total time for being placed.
The take-down criteria refers to the Chapter “Maintenance and service”.
Furthermore, the rope end connections must be checked regularly for their reliability. Visible
impression shall not be appeared at the contacting position between wire rope and drum and
between wire rope and pulley.
Special attention must be paid after any events that may lead to changes to the rope and
whenever the rope starts to be used again after being take down and then re-installed.

8.2.8 Inspecting the tightness of load carrying components

Check that the mounting bolts for the slewing ring, slewing reducer and winch reducer are
properly seated at least once a year.
Slewing ring connection mounting bolts are pre-stressed at the factory, so that no loosening of
the bolted connections will occur during normal crane operation.
However, the bolted connection may become overloaded and the bolts may be permanently
stretched if the crane is overloaded or if a fixed load is pulled free. It is therefore important to
check these bolts for proper seating during the annual crane inspection or after an overload
has occurred.
Completely remove loose bolts, plus the two adjacent ones, and immediately check for
damage.
Inspect the bolts, particularly for cracks or permanent distortion. Replace any bolts that have
stretched more than 2% (referred to their original length) or that have cracks or other damage.
If any bolts have stretched or are otherwise damaged, also replace the two adjacent bolts.

8 - 15
1145-000-08Y

8.2.9 Inspecting the oil and fuel reservoirs

Oil and fuel reservoirs shall be inspected at least once a year and checked all around for
leakage during the periodic inspections every year.
Repairs shall only be carried out by trained and knowledgeable specialists.
Improper repairs; e.g., welding, hard or soft soldering is not permitted, particularly if the
Customer Service Department at ZOOMLION has not been consulted!

8.2.10 Inspecting the hydraulic system

Check whether all elements and pipe lines in the hydraulic system are in good condition from
the following aspects:
a) Check whether mounting bolts for hydraulic pump are properly seated, and whether
abnormal vibration, noise and leakage occur during load application;
b) Check whether air filters in hydraulic oil tank and oil return pipe line are blocked and
whether oil inlet/outlet of flange leaks oil;
c) Check whether slewing and hoisting motors leak oil, stop running or run abnormally, and
check their housings for deformation and cracks;
d) Check each connection at pipe lines in the hydraulic system for tightness and oil leakage;
check pipe clamps for tightness and cracks; check hoses for aging, distortion and
damages;
e) Check motions:
1) Check connected oil pipe fittings for proper seating;
2) Check mounting bolts for proper seating;
3) Check for leaks.
f) Check hose drum:
1) Check mounting bolts for proper seating;
2) Check whether telescoping out /in motions are seized;
3) Check for leaks.

8.2.11.1 Key inspection and maintenance

a) Battery
Superstructure and chassis are all equipped with two batteries connected in series (12V
for each battery). Single wire system is adopted in the complete vehicle and the negative
terminal is grounded through main power switch. Batteries of this vehicle meet the
national standard GB5008.1-85.
In normal situations, if there are no malfunctions in electrical devices, batteries are
charged when the generator is supplying electricity for electrical devices.
If the battery is found not be charged or under-charged which has affected the starting of
starting motor, the generator and the voltage regulator should be inspected to release the
defects immediately.
Furthermore, keep batteries surface dry and clean. Clear off contamination and
electrolyte with a piece of cloth dampened with 10% density soda water and wipe them
with a piece of dry cloth.
If the crane is not in use for a long time, remove the batteries and charge them once
every month. If it is not used within one month, cut off the circuit to avoid self-discharging.
b) Starting motor
Starting motor is a key component for the starting of engine. Therefore, often inspect
fastener of starting motor for firm connection, inspect conductive wire for tight contact and
inspect insulation of conductive wire for damage.
Clear off contamination and grease it for corrosion protection.
In addition, remove dust cover from the motor regularly to inspect whether surface of the
commutator is smooth, whether carbon brush inside the bracket is seized, and whether
pressure of carbon brush spring is normal and clear off accumulated dust.
Once the carbon brush wears excessively or surface of commutator is burnt seriously or
other failures occur, remove it to repair.
c) Generator
Integrated commutating and pressure regulating type
Rated operating current: 80A
Voltage: 28V
Maintenance should be applied to the engine every 1000 hours. Clear off dust and oil on
the surface of generator (especially on the terminal post), keep ventilation channel on,
often observe contact condition of carbon brush ring and check carbon brush for wearing
and tightening condition. Do not use megohm meter or power higher than 30V to test the
engine and only use universal meter to detect it.
d) Displacement sensor
Displacement sensor is a key component in telescoping system.
Lay down the boom to check it at the tail end of the boom. Inspect its three coiling-out
holes for their waterproof property. (Only use one of the three holes, and connect the
other two with a small section of shielded wire to prevent water from entering); put the
coiling-out port of waterproof rectangular 5-core plug face down and tighten all the
waterproof PG connector; check screws on the end cover for proper seating; check that
the coiling-out height of displacement sensor must be consistent with the height of fixing

e) Cable drum
Cable drum is a key component in telescoping system.
Lay down the boom to check it at the tail end of the boom. Check that the coiling-out
height of cable drum must be consistent with the height of fixing end for cable and check
friction between cable or bracing wire and pin removal plate. Check the coiling-out
position at the fixing end of cable for completeness of waterproof cement; check
waterproof rectangular 16-core connector connected between this cable and slewing
table harness for reliable connection and tighten waterproof PG connector at two ends;
check whether cable drum is seized when the boom is telescoped-in slowly.

8.2.12 Inspecting the safety devices

Function test shall be carried out on safety devices, such as load moment limiter, hoisting limit
switch and lowering limit switch before each operation of crane.
a) The inspection of load moment limiter can be carried out as follows:
– Telescope out the boom to its maximum length; Use hook as the testing weight. Lift
the boom from its minimum working radius to its maximum working radius; Check the
display of weight in load moment limiter to ensure that weight deviation does not
exceed 5% of load weight.
– Telescope out the boom to its maximum length; Measure actual radius at its
minimum working radius; Measure the actual radius at its 45°; Compare the two
values; and the deviation between them shall not exceed 10%.
b) The inspection of hoisting limit switch can be carried out as follows:
– Install hoisting limit switch and lift the hook without load slowly.
– Do not stop lifting until the hook reaches the limit weight of hoisting limit switch.
– Observe whether the hoisting limit switch is activated.
c) The inspection of lowering limit switch can be carried out as follows:
– Telescope out the boom to its maximum length;
– Lift the boom to its maximum angle and reel off the wire rope slowly;
– Require another person to observe rope guiding condition;
– Check whether the lowering limit switch is activated when only 3 hoist rope windings
are left on the winch.
Check main / auxiliary winch in the same method.

Danger:
Risk of serious accident due to abnormal operation of safety devices!
