OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION
This manual provides instructions necessary for the correct implementation of maintenance procedures not covered
in the "USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION MANUAL" accompanying the machine; accordingly, it is intended for
skilled persons possessing an extensive familiarity with the composition of the mechanical parts and with operation of
the hydraulic and electrical system of the machine on which work is being carried out. Remember that the application
of accident prevention procedures and regulations on health and safety in the workplace is the responsibility of the
repair workshop foreman, who must take all such measures as may be deemed necessary to avoid the occurrence of
accidents during maintenance operations (the "USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION MANUAL" also contains advice
on this subject).

The symbol indicated alongside identifies the size of the wrench to be used for certain of the operations
described on the pages of this Manual.
The type of wrench will be indicated only if different to the standard tool.

CAUTION!!! This symbol accompanies important safety messages.


Whenever this symbol appears, pay maximum attention and read the associated message carefully.

SAFETY AND GENERAL STANDARDS


CAUTION!!! This machine is designed and built to Merlo specifications.
To avoid accidents and ensure top performance, the machine must not be modified or adapted in any
way except with the approval of Merlo S.p.A., and must not be used in conditions or for purposes other
than those indicated. All items of information, illustrations and specifications in this manual refer to the
most recent release of the product at the time of publication.
Merlo S.p.A. reserves the right to make such changes as may be deemed necessary without prior notice.

CAUTION!!! Make certain there are no persons or animals standing or moving about within the opera-
ting radius of the telescopic boom during calibration of the tip-over prevention system.
With this in mind, a safety area should be marked off around the machine, creating at least 6 metres
clearance to the front and at least 4 metres to the rear.
In the case of ROTO models, mark off an area of at least 10 metres all around the machine.

CAUTION!!! It is forbidden to handle loads of any weight heavier than that indicated in the machine load
chart.

CAUTION!!! It is severely forbidden and extremely dangerous to modify any part of the machine in such a
way as will change its original structure; it is also forbidden to change hydraulic and electrical settings or
modify safety systems. If these rules are ignored, Merlo S.p.a. shall be relieved of all liability and entitled
to reject any claim under warranty.
CAUTION!!! Maintenance must be carried out by skilled and experienced personnel.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PROCEDURE FOR CALIBRATION OF TIP-OVER PREVENTION SYSTEM ON PANORAMIC P25.6


1. Remove the sensor from either one of the two epicyclic hub units.

2. Place a weight of known value on the forks, in such a way that when added to weight of the fork carriage, the total
weight will be 1500 kg.
3. Extend the boom to the point at which the tip-over prevention system cuts in (all movements locked out, buzzer
sounding, warning indicator light showing in the display).
4. Retract the boom completely, then extend again to a distance of 2250 mm from the forwardmost point on the
front tyre.

CAUTION!!! Should the movements of the


machine be locked out, extend the boom to
the position indicated by turning the safety
bypass key to the right and holding.

6 MANTIRIB.01
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5. Make a mark (1) with a felt tip pen on the second


boom section, at the join with the first section; extend
the boom further, and make a second mark (2) at a di-
stance of 50 mm from the first.

6. Addressing the hub with the tip-over prevention device still in place, loosen the nut (A) located beneath the epi-
cyclic unit, and then back off the set screw (B). Adjust the loading on the springs by way of the bolt (C).

7. If the movements were already locked out at the extended position described in step "4", unscrew the bolt (C)
until the buzzer no longer sounds, then retighten to the point at which the buzzer is heard again.
If lockout had not yet occurred at the extended position in question, tighten the bolt (C) until the buzzer is heard.

NOTE!!! In either case, once the buzzer is heard, tighten the bolt (C) further by one ¼ turn.

8. Reposition the set screw (B) and tighten the lock nut (A).
9. Retract the boom completely, then extend a second
time.
Mark the point, on the second boom section, at which
movements were locked out; this mark should be no
more than 100 mm beyond the mark (1) made pre-
viously (see point "5").

MANTIRIB.01 7
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

10. Once lockout has occurred, turn the red key to the
bypass position.

Continue extending the boom until the machine ef-


fectively begins tipping over. This should occur once
the boom is extended at least 400 mm beyond the
lockout mark (3).

11. Run a check on the tip-over prevention system, exten-


ding the boom to the point at which movements are
locked out, and making a reference mark (A) at a di-
stance of 500 mm from the end of the first section.

12. Retract the boom by operating the relative button,


until the point at which the joystick movements are
re-enabled (warning light out, buzzer silent).
Check the distance between the end of the first boom
section and the mark (A) made previously.
If the boom retracts beyond the reference mark (A),
other elements of the tip-over prevention system will
need to be checked, namely the Bauer springs and
the position of the microswitch.
13. Retract the boom

14. Remove the weight from the forks and elevate the boom.

15. Reattach the connector detached previously (step 1), and detach the other connector.

16. Repeat the procedure described from step "2" to step "12” for the other sensor.

listed under "SAFETY AND GENERAL STANDARDS" on page 4.

CAUTION!!! Before proceeding with cali-


bration, procure a "Framatone" connector,
which must then be fitted with a jumper be-
tween pins 2 and 3.
1. Elevate the telescopic boom fully, without any we-
ight on the forks.
2. In the central tunnel of the machine, beneath the
telescoping boom, locate the two connectors of
the tip-over prevention microswitches (designated
JARDX and JARSX), eliminate the plastic clip and de-
tach one of the two connectors.

3. Connect the "Framatone" connector, with the jumper fitted, to the connector detached previously.

IMPORTANT!!! From this point onwards, keeping to the instructions that follow, the steps described in-
dicate how to calibrate the tip-over prevention microswitch wired to the connector that REMAINS IN
PLACE.

4. Lower the telescoping boom.


Place a known weight on the forks, in such a way that
when added to the weight of the fork carriage, the
total weight will be around 50% of the machine's ma-
ximum load capacity.
Position the machine with the wheels straight and the
boom at cab level (0°).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5. Extend the boom to the point of reaching the reference letter indicated on the load chart.

CAUTION!!! There is more than one load chart displayed


in the cab, given that the values on the chart will change
with different types of tyre fitted to the machine. Accor-
dingly, take care when selecting which chart to refer to.

For example, with a load weighing 3,500 kg and the ma-


chine fitted with tyres as indicated in the chart alongside,
extending the telescopic boom as far as the stamped letter
"C" will give a pull-out length of approximately 2.6 metres.

6. Working on the rear axle (according to the content of


the "IMPORTANT" note on page 8), make the adjust-
ment to the microswitch associated with the connec-
tor that was NOT DETACHED at step "2".
Using a hex socket key, loosen the set screw (A) clam-
ping the cover and adjuster nut, and begin turning
the nut (B) until the buzzer begins to sound continu-
ously in the cab.
Screwing right, the cut-in of the device is advanced.

chine movements are locked out effectively at the di-
stance indicated on the load chart.
Mark the point of lockout on the second boom sec-
tion.

9. Turn the safety bypass key to the right and hold, then
extend the boom to the point at which the machine
begins tipping over.

10. Measure the pull-out distance of the boom from the


point at which movements are locked out to the ef-
fective tip-over point;
this distance must be at least 50-60 cm.

11. Retract the boom and remove the weight from the forks.

12. Elevate the boom.

13. Reinstate the connector detached during step "2".

The calibration procedure for the first microswitch is now complete.

ADJUSTMENT OF MICROSWITCH

CAUTION!!! The procedure described below is NOT VALID for models:


ROTO 40.30 MCSS and ROTO 60.24 MCSS.

CAUTION!!! Before proceeding with calibration, ensure complete familiarity with the safety measures
listed under "SAFETY AND GENERAL STANDARDS" on page 4.

IMPORTANT!!! To carry out the full calibration procedure on machines with no UPD screen in the cab,
the company strongly recommends the use of the "DIAGNOSTICS KIT FOR MERLO TELEHANDLERS" (part
number 077996), which can be ordered from the MERLO S.p.A. parts store.

1. Position the machine on stabilizers.


2. Taking each of the four wheel hubs one by one, adjust the respective microswitch as follows:
2a. Loosen the lock nut (A) retaining the set screw (B).
2b. Turn the set screw (B), slowly, until a change in status of the microswitch is induced; this will be heard as a fa-
int "click". The change in status is indicated on the UPD screen in the cab (or on the display of the diagnostics
kit), as a change from "0" to "1" on the relative "UGS" page, as illustrated in the screenshot below.

In10 = status 0/1 tip-over front left.


In11 = status 0/1 tip-over front right.
In12 = status 0/1 tip-over rear left.
In13 = status 0/1 tip-over rear right.

2c. On hearing the "click" (and seeing the change of status on the screen), continue turning the set screw (B) in
the same direction, one ¼ turn further.
3. Retighten the lock nut (A).

MANTIRIB.01 17
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TIP-OVER PREVENTION ADJUSTMENT


CAUTION!!! To ensure correct adjustment of the tip-over prevention system, the geometrical system of
the machine must also be set up correctly. If this is not the case, proceed first with calibration of the
geometrical system.
CAUTION!!! There may be more than one load chart displayed in the cab, given that the values on the
chart will change with different types of tyre fitted to the machine and/or different machine status (on
stabilizers or on wheels). Accordingly, take care when selecting which chart to refer to.
1. Stand the machine on its wheels, and align the wheels with the chassis.

2. Slew the turret through 45° approx, into alignment with one of the four wheel hubs.
3. Apply a weight to the forks, corresponding to the
weight indicated on the load chart of the machine;
extend the telescopic boom, keeping it parallel to the
ground;
advance the weight to the distance indicated on the
load chart.

For example: loading the forks with a weight which,


when added to the weight of the fork carriage,
amounts to 1500 kg, keeping the boom at an angle
of 0° to the horizontal and extending until the appear-
ance of the letter "D" (stamped on the boom), this will
give a pull-out length of approximately 8.5 metres.

4. When extending the boom, check that movements are locked out (as in the example given above) at a pull-out
distance of 13.5 metres. Check also that the traffic light indicator located inside the cab changes from green to
amber when lockout occurs, and thereafter from amber to red.
Should the traffic light change directly from green to red, this means that the sensitivity of the mechanical respon-
se generated by the system needs to be adjusted:
- loosen the lock nut (E)
- turn the setscrew (F) to the point at which the
traffic light indicator changes from green to am-
ber,and thereafter from amber to red, which cor-
responds to the lockout of all movements indu-
ced by the MERlin software.
- tighten the lock nut (E) against the adjuster nut.

18 MANTIRIB.01
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5. Check at what point the microswitch should effectively cut in under the red traffic light condition (software-activa-
ted lockout of movements induced by MERlin system).
IMPORTANT!!! This operation is carried out using the UPD screen in the cab, or in the case of machines
with no UPD screen, using the "DIAGNOSTICS KIT FOR MERLO TELEHANDLERS" (part number 077996),
which can be ordered from the MERLO S.p.A. parts store.
Procedure:
5a. in the cab, turn the safety bypass key to the right
and hold.

To bypass the safety devices on models:


ROTO MCSS and ROTO 600° from SAV C028129 on-
wards;
ROTO 400° from SAV C037142 onwards;
use the switch on the outside of the cab
(see photo alongside)

5b. extend the telescopic boom, while checking the


UPD screen to see at what point the status of the
microswitch changes from "0" to "1".
Once the microswitch has been tripped, stop
and retract the boom.

MANTIRIB.01 19
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE!!! Repeat the "TIP-OVER PREVENTION ADJUSTMENT" procedure from step "1" to step "5" for each
of the four positions illustrated below.

6. Slew the turret left, to a position at 90° relative to the longitudinal axis of the machine.
7. Extend the telescopic boom to the point at which loc-
kout occurs.

8. Turn the safety bypass key to the right and hold (see
step "5a" on page 18).

9. Continue extending the telescopic boom to the po-


int of tripping the microswitches associated with the
front and rear wheel hubs on the right hand side of
the machine.
Halt the telescoping movement of the boom.
The moment at which the two microswitches are trip-
ped is displayed on the UPD screen (see step "5b" on
page 18).

10. Make a mark on the ground (a), indicating the posi-


tion of the telescopic boom at which the microswit-
ches were tripped.

11. Still keeping the safety bypass key turned toward the right, continue extending the boom until the machine finally
begins tipping over sideways.

12. Make certain that the distance between the mark (a) made at step "10", and the point (b) where the carriage to-
uches the ground, is not less than 1 metre.

13. If this is not the case, then turn the set screws (F) of both the microswitches clockwise (see step "4" on page 17),
so as to compress the springs and advance the point at which the microswitches cut in (see step "9"). Thereafter,
repeat the procedure from step "7" to step "12", to run a further check.

14. Slew the turret right, to a position at 90° relative to the longitudinal axis of the machine, and repeat the procedure
described thus far from step "7" to step "12" to test the operation of the front and rear microswitches on the left
hand side of the machine.
