Telescoping 12
12 Telescoping
12.1 General
The main boom comprises a base section and four telescopic

sections.
When fully retracted, the main boom is 14.7 m long, when fully
extended it is 57.9 m long. At these and all other permissible op-
erating lengths, all telescopic sections must be pin locked at all
times.
All four telescopic sections are telescoped in and out by means
of only two telescoping cylinders.
If, for example, all four telescopic sections are to be extended to
100%, first telescopic section 2 is unpinned. Telescopic section
3 remains pin locked with telescopic section 2 (and telescopic
section 4 with telescopic section 3). When telescoping cylinder
2 is then extended, telescopic sections 2, 3 and 4 all extend at
the same time.
When telescoping has been completed, the following must hap-
pen with telescopic section 4:
-- guard at the pin locking pin box of the telescoping cylinders
so that it subsequently remains extended to 100%
and
-- unpin, so that there is no longer a connection between tele-
scopic sections 3 and 4.
Then telescoping cylinder 2 is telescoped back in. It then moves
telescopic sections 2 and 3 at the same time. Telescopic section
4 remains in its position and is therefore, as it were, extended
(telescoped out 100%) whilst telescoping cylinder 2 is tele-
scoped in.
This is called the ”stripping procedure”.
An example is given in Sect. 12.6.2 which gives a step--by--step

account of the procedure for all telescopic sections.
All necessary steps are indicated to the crane operator on the

telescoping information system (see Sect. 12.3).
Below, a description of how the main boom is telescoped without
load on the hook (for telescoping with load, see Sect. 12.9) and
without additional equipment fitted is given.
Telescoping of the boom with additional equipment fitted is de-

scribed in the section in which the corresponding additional
equipment is outlined e.g. Sect. 19 ”Luffing Fly Jib”.

12.2 Control Levers for Telescoping

(Z 30 479, Z 31 315)
Lever (26) is used to telescope all telescopic sections in and out.
Lever (26) forwards -- telescope out telescopic section(s)

Lever (26) backwards -- telescope in telescopic section(s)
If luminous switch (66) ”hoist 2 (optional) on left--hand con-

trol lever” is actuated, the boom cannot be telescoped. Lever
(26) is then used to actuate hoist 2.
In order to prevent crane movements being actuated acciden-

tally, both control levers are fitted with an additional button (”28”,
”30”) (dead man’s switch).
A crane movement can only be carried out when one of these but-
tons is pressed.
When the hook has been fully raised and the hoist limit switch has
tripped, the main boom cannot be telescoped any further. The
hoist must first be lowered (see Sect. 14).
Telescoping at high speed
Luminous switch (70) can be actuated to switch on high range for

telescoping the main boom in and out.
High range must not be switched on if there is a load on the

crane.
When the boom is telescoped in or out in high range and the pin
locking range ”2” is reached (150 mm before the corresponding
pin locking hole), high range is automatically switched off.
(Z 30 480)
When this range has been reached, indicator light (97) or (98)
comes on.
-- (97) comes on when the boom is being telescoped in.
-- (98) comes on when the boom is being telescoped out.

12.3 Telescoping Information System

(Z 30 423)
12.3.1 General
In range ”H” of the ECIS display is the display for the telescoping
information system. This serves to aid the operator when he is
telescoping the boom in and out.
The telescoping information system is an operating aid. It is

not an alternative and should not be used in place of the
judgement and experience of the crane operator or in place
of recognized safe operating procedures for crane applica-
tions.
The crane operator still holds full responsibility for the safe
operation of the crane when using this operating aid. He
must make sure that he fully understands and observes the
instructions and information given by the system. The sys-
tem can only be guaranteed to work correctly if it is checked
daily and used in accordance with the operating instruc-
tions.

12.3.2 Operating Principle

(Z 30 473)
The system calculates the best extension sequence by compar-

ing the actual values as transmitted by the length transducer, with
the drive programmes and other factors laid down. It then dis-
plays this sequence as symbols in the instruction line ”A”,
whereby each step is displayed until it has been correctly carried
out.
In line ”B” below the instructions line, symbols for the boom with
all important operating elements are displayed.
The information on the screen is kept constantly up--to--date in
relation to the movement of the individual boom sections and the
location of guarding and pin locking elements.
In line ”C” below the boom symbol, the desired and actual
condition of the individual telescopic sections is displayed as a
percentage.
The ”desired value” line changes in relation to the two--digit
length code number (LK).
The ”actual value” line shows the current extension condition.
The displayed values change constantly as the extension length
changes.
Where work is interrupted, the system automatically saves the

last values displayed so that work can be recommenced at this
point.
Fault routines monitor that the boom is correctly pin locked and
guarded.
System faults are displayed by means of fault codes in the top line
of the ECIS console.
The key for the fault codes can be found in the manual for the
”telescoping information system” in part 5 of this documentation.

12.3.3 Operation
(Z 30 474, Z 30 482)
Before the main boom is telescoped in or out, a two--digit length

code no. (LK) must be entered.
This two--digit length code number (LK) informs the tele-

scoping information system of the desired total boom length
and the extension sequence and length of the individual tele-
scopic sections.
It must be entered in addition to the three--digit operating
mode code number (DS).
Both code numbers can be found on the corresponding load
table.
Set the length code number (LK) as follows:
1. Always check first that the three--digit operating code num-

ber (DS) corresponds with the current crane configuration.
2. Actuate button in key level 1 of the ECIS console.

Menu (Z 30 474) appears.
3. Select the desired length code using the arrow buttons

or to position the marker bar on the line with the desired
LK no. (here: 24).
Alternatively the LK no. can be entered directly using the
”LK” button.
4. Use button ↵ to complete the selection. Final confirma-

tion is given via the menu (Z 30 482).

12.4 Pin Locking / Guarding the Telescopic Sections
12.4.1 Pin Locking the Telescopic Sections

(Z 30 475)
All cranes are fitted with a pin locking facility for telescopic sec-
tions 1, 2, 3 and 4 as standard.
Each telescopic section can be pin locked at an extension length

of 0 %, 45 %, 90 % and 100 %.
The telescopic sections may only be pin locked and unpinned

when both the indicator lights (97) and (98) are lit up.
If there is a fault in the boom pin locking system, indicator light

(61) comes on and the alarm transmitter (59) sounds. This sig-
nals that:
∗ A proximity switch is faulty.
∗ The locking cylinders have failed to reach a pin locking or un-
pinning final position.
∗ The locking cylinders have failed to reach a guarding or dis-
guarding final position.
The incomplete pin locking or unpinning procedure (or guarding

/ disguarding procedure) should then be repeated.

12.4.1.1 Notes on Pin Locking
Each pin locking position is divided into 3 pin locking ranges:
Pin locking range 1
Pin locking range ”1” begins 400 mm before the pin locking hole.
When this range is reached, the symbol for ”telescope slowly”
and ”pin lock” appears in the instruction line of the telescoping in-
formation system on the ECIS display (here: telescopic section
4).
T4:
Proceed as follows:
1. Reduce the telescoping speed by easing the control lever

(26) back towards its central position.
(Z 30 475)
2. Preselect the telescope pin locking required by actuating
button (104), (106), (108) or (110). The light in the corre-
sponding button lights up.
If the incorrect pin locking button is accidentally selected, the pre-

selected pin locking command can be cancelled by pressing but-
ton (99).

hole.
When this range is reached, indicator light (97) or (98) lights up:
∗ (97) comes on when the boom is telescoped in.
∗ (98) comes on when the boom is telescoped out.
When this range is reached:
∗ the high range (switch ”70” actuated) is switched off.
∗ in addition, the telescoping speed is halved.
Pin locking range 3, ”pin locking position”

(Z 30 475)
When the exact pin locking position is reached, the two indicator
lights (97) and (98) come on briefly.
The desired telescopic cylinder is pin locked and the light in the
corresponding pin locking button lights up completely. Indicator
lights (97) and (98) go out.

12.4.1.2 Notes on Unpinning

(Z 30 475)
T2:
In the instruction line of the telescoping information system on the
ECIS display the symbol ”unpin” appears (here: telescopic sec-
tion 2).
A telescopic stage may only be unpinned when both indicator

lights (97) and (98) light up.
If only one of these indicator lights comes on, the corresponding

telescopic section must be telescoped out or in by a minimal
amount.
∗ When indicator light (97) lights up, use control lever (26) to
telescope in the main boom by a small amount.
∗ When indicator light (98) comes on, telescope out the main
boom by a small amount using control lever (26).
The telescopic sections are unpinned by pressing the appropri-

ate button (105), (107), (109) or (111). When the ”unpinned” final
position has been reached, the indicator light in the correspond-
ing button comes on.
A telescopic section can only be unpinned if all other telescopic

sections are pin locked (with telescopic sections 3 and 4 pin
locked or guarded).

12.4.2 Guarding the Telescopic Sections

(Z 30 476)
Each crane is fitted with a hydraulic guarding facility for telescopic

sections 3 and 4.
Both of these telescopic sections can be guarded at the pin lock-

ing box of the telescoping cylinders.
This equipment is required in order to hold telescopic sections 3

and 4 when they are telescoped out, while telescopic section 2
is extended or telescoped in (stripping procedure).
The third telescopic section can be guarded if the sum of the ex-
tension lengths (%) of telescopic section 2 and telescopic section
3 is 100 % (T2 + T3 = 100 %).

(Z 30 476)
T4:
The symbol ”disguard” appears in the instruction line of the tele-
scoping information system on the ECIS display (here: telescopic
section 4).
A telescopic stage can only be disguarded if both indicator lights

(97) and (98) light up.
If only one of these indicator lights comes on, telescopic section
2 must be extended or retracted by a small amount.
∗ Telescope in the main boom by a small amount using control
lever (26) when indicator light (97) comes on.
∗ Telescope out the main boom by a small amount using control
lever (26) when indicator light (98) comes on.
To disguard the telescopic sections, press the following buttons:

∗ Button (101): Disguard telescopic section 4
∗ Button (103): Disguard telescopic section 3
When the ”disguarded” final position has been reached, the indi-
cator light in the corresponding button comes on.
Telescopic section 3 or 4 can only be disguarded if both are pin

locked.

12.5 Extension Lengths of the Telescopic Sections
The following values for crane operation must be taken from

the load tables supplied:
-- Which extension lengths and individual telescoping
lengths correspond to which configurations.
-- What loads can be lifted in the pin locked condition with
respect to the individual extension lengths of the tele-
scopic sections.
12.5.1 Monitoring the Extension Length During the Tele-

scoping Procedure
(Z 35 884)
During the telescoping procedure, the current total length of the

boom is displayed below the text “IST” (here: 53.6 m). This func-
tion is switched on/off by actuating key (K3e) in level 3. All other
geometrical data are displayed on a crane symbol on the ECIS
display.
The current extension condition of the individual telescopic sec-

tions can be read off the ”actual value” line of the telescoping in-
formation system.
The current extension status is also brought up--to--date and dis-

played on the boom symbol on the ”Desired / Actual” lines.

12.5.2 Signal Loss of the Length Memory Units
In the event of signal loss from the length memory units, the dis-
play in the ”Ist” line will become faulty. In this case, the telesco-
ping information system can be reset.
Basic length
When moving to the basic length (14.7 m, Lk 00) the system will
generally be reset.
The “Ist” line must read 0 for all telescopic sections.
Reset lengths
The main boom must be telescoped in or out to the next possible

extension length given in the corresponding table (in the notes to
the lifting capacity tables, point 5.0) -- or such a condition has al-
ready been reached.
To check whether or not such a condition has been reached, a

visual inspection must be made and if necessary the length trans-
ducer readings in the ”analog input” display of the ECIS system
service images checked (service level 4, ”tool” symbol). It is not
possible to carry out a check using the load limit device.
Then select the DS No. which corresponds to the extension

length achieved from the table mentioned. The length memory
is reset corresponding to this extension sequence. The display
in the “Ist” line must then correspond with the actual extension se-
quence.
In the event of error messages, please check the extension se-

quence.
As the boom must be moved to the reset lengths without

being monitored by the telescoping information system,
extreme caution is required.
The crane operator must know the telescoping sequen-
ces and is obligated to use recognised safe operating
procedures.
The crane operator is solely responsible for ensuring
that the extension sequence, to which the system is re-
set, corresponds with the actual extension sequence.

Special extension lengths

(Z 30 478)
There are special extension lengths, whereby telescopic sec-

tion 1 remains telescoped in to 0 %. They serve the following pur-
pose:
-- Reaching higher loads at a large radius by reducing the head
weight.
-- When the boom has been extended to certain standard ex-
tension lengths, the special extension lengths can be
achieved by directly telescoping in a maximum of two tele-
scopic sections without a ”stripping procedure” being re-
quired for telescopic sections 3 or 4 with the help of telescopic
section 2. The following table contains some examples for
such instances.

12.5.4 Extension Sequence of the Telescopic Sections
As a rule, the instructions in the instruction line of the ECIS

display should always be followed. The extension length re-
quired is then automatically achieved.
The extension sequence of the telescopic sections means the

sequence in which the individual telescopic sections are moved
to their final length.
To fully extend the main boom, the extension sequence is

(4--3--2--1), i.e., first telescopic section 4, then telescopic section
3, then telescopic section 2 and finally telescopic section 1 must
be extended to the required final position and pin locked.
If all the telescopic stages are not required for the extension
length selected, the extension sequence for the telescopic
stages required is analogous:
-- for boom lengths with telescopic section 4 retracted, first tele-
scopic section 3, then telescopic section 2 and finally tele-
scopic section 1 must be extended to the required final length
and pin locked.
-- for boom lengths where telescopic sections 3 and 4 are re-
tracted, first telescopic section 2, then telescopic section 1
must be extended to the final position required and pin
locked.
When the telescopic sections are being retracted, the following

sequence must be followed:
Tele 4 ⇒Tele 3 ⇒ Tele 2 ⇒ Tele 1.

12.6 Telescoping Procedure
12.6.1 General
Before each telescoping procedure, all telescopic sections must

be pin locked and guarded.
Then the corresponding telescopic section must be unpinned.

After each telescoping procedure, the corresponding telescopic
section must be pin locked before the next telescopic section can
be extended.
After each final telescopic pin locking procedure, the telescopic

section must be fully retracted to the stop.
If the main boom has been telescoped out to the final working
length and pin locked, all the telescopic sections must be tele-
scoped in to the stop.
This prevents the telescoping cylinders from being placed under
strain and settling movements of the boom components when a
load is taken up.
If the ”hoist” or ”luffing gear” functions are switched on during a

telescoping procedure at high speed, the telescoping speed is
halved, i.e. high speed is switched off.
If the engine stalls during a telescoping procedure and re--start-

ing (or setting the ignition lock in “ignition on” position again)
takes longer than a few seconds, the telescoping information
system may lose the information on the current boom condition.
If this is the case, the telescoping information system must be re-
set to a defined condition by moving to a reset length (see Sect.
12.5.2).

12.6.2 Telescoping Example
12.6.2.1 Telescoping Out
The main boom is telescoped out from the fully retracted condi-
tion (14.7 m) to a length of 43.9 m.
Extension length of the telescopic sections:

-- Telescopic section 1: 90 %
To extend the main boom, proceed as follows:
1. Always check first that the three--digit operating code num-

ber which has been set (DS) corresponds to the current
crane configuration.
(Z30 474, Z 30 482)

2. Take the two--digit number for the length code (LK) for the de-
sired main boom length from the corresponding load table
and enter via the ECIS console:
2.1 (Actuate button in key level 1. Menu (Z 30

474) appears.
2.2 Select the desired length code using the directional ar-
rows and to position the marker bar on the line
with the desired LK number (here: 24).
Alternatively, the LK number can also be entered di-
rectly after pressing the button ”LK”.
2.3 Using button ↵ end the selection process. The entry

is confirmed following the menu (Z 30 482).
This step must always be carried out first before the main
boom is telescoped.

When the symbol ”unpin T2” appears in the instruction line,
actuate luminous pushbutton (109).
When the pin has fully retracted, the light in luminous push-
button (109) comes on and the message telescopic section
2 ”unpinned” is shown on the boom symbol on the display.
The boom can only be unpinned and disguarded when indicator

lights (97) and (98) come on.
If only one lights up, the boom must be telescoped further in the
direction which is indicated: (97) -- telescope in, (98) -- telescope
out.
4. T2: 100
Instruction line: Symbol ”telescope out telescopic section 2
by 100 % (high range)” -- telescope out telescopic section 2
fully using control lever (26).
As the extension length of telescopic section 2 changes, the per-

centage display in the instruction line changes continually from
100 % towards 0 %.
The display in the ”actual value” line changes in the opposite
direction. It starts at 0 % and climbs continually towards 100 %.

6. Telescope telescopic section 2 out further at reduced speed.

Approx. 150 mm before the guarding pin hole is reached, in-
dicator light (98) comes on. If high range is engaged, it will
automatically be switched off and the telescoping speed
halved (1/4 of the maximum speed).
7. When the boom is being telescoped out and the guarding

position is reached, indicator light (97) also lights up. The
guarding pin then automatically extends and telescopic sec-
tion 4 is guarded at the pin locking box on the telescopic cyl-
inder.
When the boom section is guarded, the indicator light in but-
ton (100) comes on fully.
On the display of the telescoping information system, telescopic

section 4 is displayed as being guarded, telescopic section 2 as
being telescoped out and unpinned.
The ”actual value” line for T2 displays 100%.

12. When the pin locking position is reached as the boom is tele-
scoped in, indicator light (98) also lights up.
The pin then automatically extends, telescopic section 4 is
pin locked to telescopic section 3. When these are pin
locked, the indicator light in button (104) lights up.
The boom symbol displays that telescopic section 4 is ”pin

locked” and telescopic sections 2 and 4 are telescoped out ac-
cordingly.
In the ”actual value” line, the extension lengths (%) of telescopic
section 2 (55 %) and telescopic section 4 (45 %) are given.
This telescoping example is a special case.

As telescopic section 2 is still extended by 55 % and a hoist
of 45 % is required to bring telescopic section 3 to the de-
sired operating length, an additional stripping procedure is
not required for telescopic section 3.
After telescopic section 2 has been telescoped in to 10 % of
the total length, telescopic section 3 is telescoped out to 45%
of the total length.
In this instance:
-- Telescopic section 4 must remain pin locked to tele-
scopic section 3.
-- Telescopic section 4 must remain secured to the pin lock-
ing box of the telescoping cylinder.
Proceed, therefore, as follows:

If the telescoping information system (ECIS computer) should

fail, the crane may not be operated further.
Independent of the main boom length, in case of emergency
and as an exception, the main boom (with no load at the hook)
can be telescoped in according to the following procedure dia-
grams.
When ”telescoping in case of emergency” the main boom

may only be telescoped IN.
Telescoping OUT (increasing the main boom length) is pro-
hibited.
Observe the guidelines given in this section for the telescoping

procedure.
The main boom must first be raised into the high position (82°)
using the luffing gear.

The following procedure is only permitted if the main boom

is without load, i.e. without a load on the hook and without
additional equipment fitted (Superlift is possible, but brac-
ing rods and bracing rope must not be tensioned then)..
The procedure for a boom with additional equipment fitted is
described in the sections on the additional equipment (e.g.
Sect. 19 ”Luffing Fly Jib).
If there is a defect in the pin locking or guarding systems and the

stripping procedure for telescoping in sections 3 and 4 is no
longer possible, the unladen main boom can be lowered using
the luffing gear, irrespective of the specifications given by the
telescoping information system, under the following conditions:
The maximum main boom length with the maximum permissible

extension sequence 0%/0%/100%/100% must not exceed
approx. 36 m. In this instance:
∗ telescopic section 4 would be extended 100 % and pin
locked.
∗ telescopic section 3 would be extended 100 % and pin
locked.
∗ telescopic section 2 must be fully retracted and pin locked.
∗ telescopic section 1 must be fully retracted and pin locked.
Independent of the extension lengths for telescopic sections

3 and 4, telescopic sections 2 and 1 must be fully retracted
before the main boom is lowered.
The reeved hook block must be placed on the ground before the
main boom is lowered.
The minimum counterweight fitted must weigh 11 t.

12.9 Telescopic Loads

(Z 31 892)
Information on telescopic loads related to main boom length, ex-

tension length of the individual telescopic stages, operating ra-
dius, hoist rope reeving, outrigger support area and counter-
weight fitted can be found in the tables “Telescopic Lifting Capaci-
ties on the Main Boom”.
Telescopic sections 3 and 4 may not be telescoped when un-

der load.
1. First select the load table (paper) for ”telescopic lifting capa-
cities”, which corresponds to the current crane configuration.
The following table shows where the relevant information is
found in the load table:
The following load table is only a specimen. Only the load

tables supplied with the crane may be used for operating the
crane.
(A) -- Main boom operation

(B) -- Permissible slewing range: 360°
(C) -- Counterweight: 100 t
(D) -- Outrigger support area: 8.5 m
(E) -- Telescoping under load from an initial length of 24.4 m to
a final length of 34.1 m
(F) -- Radius with a main boom final length of: 18 m
(G) -- Telescopic lifting capacity (load + hook block): 20.4 t
(H) -- Reeving number of the hoist rope: 8--fold
(K1) -- Extension length of telescopic sections (3) and (4) to
reach the initial length (length, from which is telescoped
out): T3 and 4 each 45 % (without load).
(K2) -- Extension length of all telescopic sections to reach the fi-
nal length (length, to which the boom is telescoped); this
includes the initial length to which the boom has already
been extended (K1):
T1 and T2 each 45 % (under load).
(L1) -- Length code number (LK) of the extension sequence to
reach (K1) without load : 20
(L2) -- Length code number (LK) of the extension sequence to
reach (K2) under load : 85
(M) -- Code No. of the operating mode (DS): X Y Z

2. Enter DS Code No. (M) on ECIS console.
3. Enter LK No. (L1) on ECIS console.
4. Extend and pin lock telescopic sections 3 and 4 unladen to

45 % following the data given by the telescoping information
system on the ECIS display.
Telescopic sections 3 and 4 must be extended and pin

locked accordingly before the load is taken up. When these
sections have been extended the main boom length is
24.4m.
5. Luff out the main boom to the angle given in the angle table
for the desired final length and radius (Z 31 893).
For example, for the main boom length 34.10 m and radius
18 m, a main boom angle of approx. 55° is required.
The angles given in the angle table are theoretical values without
load. They serve merely as a comparison to the corresponding
load capacity tables.
6. Enter the LK No. (L2) on the ECIS console.
7. Extend telescopic sections 1 and 2 under load to 45 % and

pin lock in accordance with the data given by the telescoping
information system on the ECIS display.
The final length of 34.10 m is then achieved.
Due to a change in the head weight during the telescoping proce-

dure, there may be deviations regarding the load display and the
actual telescoping load. The precision of the shut down facility at
the end position for the selected main boom length is ensured.

Important Notes
After each telescoping procedure, the corresponding telescopic

section must be pin locked before the next section is extended.
Extension sequence of the telescopic sections. The extension

lengths of the individual sections must be observed to ascertain
the boom length. The extension lengths given must be strictly ad-
hered to.
The given values are only valid:

∗ when the sliding surfaces of the telescopic sections are well
lubricated.
∗ at normal ambient temperature (below 0° considerable re-
ductions must be allowed for).
The boom angle must not exceed the values stated in the tables.
The telescopic loads given are theoretical values in relation to the

pressure in the telescoping cylinder.
Telescopic sections 3 and 4 may not be telescoped under

load.
