5.4 Boom and Its Telescoping Mechanism

The boom of this crane is made up of five polygon section boom sections. The telescoping
mechanism is composed of two telescoping cylinders and telescoping wire rope and so on.
The boom’s telescoping is performed by the telescoping cylinders and the wire rope. With the
movement of telescoping cylinder I, the 2 nd boom section telescopes. With the movement of
the telescoping cylinder II, the 3rd, 4th and 5th boom sections telescope synchronously. And its
telescoping principle is shown in the following graph:

1. Telescoping cylinder I 2. Telescoping cylinder II 3. Retracting wire rope

4. Extending wire rope 5. Retracting wire rope 6. Extending wire rope

The balanced valve is set in the hydraulic system so that it can not only make the telescoping
of the boom steady but also let the boom stay at any position. A length detector installed at
the left side of the boom is used to measuring the boom length in real time and sending the
information to the load moment limiter while it is displayed in the load moment limiter.

The telescoping motion of main boom is controlled by the left joystick.

Pull backward to telescope in

Push forward to telescope the main boom

5.4.1 Telescope out main boom

1）Turn telescoping/auxiliary winch selective switch to telescoping position.
2）Push the left joystick forward, and then the 2 nd boom section telescopes out.

3） When the 2 nd boom section telescope out to 22m long, the sequence telescoping signal
lamp A on the electrical control panel on the right of operator’s seat will light up, and the 2 nd
boom section will continue to telescope out fully. At this time, press the sequence telescoping
button on the left joystick, the 3 rd, 4 th , 5 th boom sections will telescope out with the same
length synchronously . When they telescope out to 23m long, the signal lamp B will light up.
Under this condition, release the sequence telescoping button until the 3rd, 4th, 5th boom
sections telescope out fully.

4）Return the joystick to the neutral position slowly when the boom extended to the required
length, and thus the main boom stops to telescope out. And it is time for lifting operation.

CAUTION:
a. The telescoping out sequence of main boom is that cylinder I extends first
(namely the 2nd boom section telescopes out), after the cylinder I extends fully, the
cylinder Ⅱ starts to extend (the 3rd, 4th and 5th boom sections telescope out with
the same length synchronously). If it needs to extend the cylinder II while the
cylinder I hasn’t extended fully during commission, turn the selector switch to
right “compulsory II”. But be sure that this switch is only used during commission
not in normal situation.

b. When the hoisting wire rope overwinds because main boom telescopes out, the
crane will send out acoustooptic alarm and telescoping out the boom is not
permitted. At this time, if telescoping out main boom is required , do it after release
the wire rope a little. We could also press repair switch so that the main boom
telescopes out little during commissioning or detecting. But, such operation should
be carried out carefully and prudently to avoid accidents.

5.4.2 Telescope in main boom

1) Turn telescoping/auxiliary winch selective switch to telescoping position.
2) Pull the left joystick backward, and then the 3rd , 4th and 5th boom sections telescope in with
the same length synchronously. When the 3rd , 4th and 5th boom sections nearly telescope in
fully, namely the boom length is about 22.6m long, press the sequence telescoping button on
the left joystick until the 3rd, 4th and 5th boom sections telescope in fully.(when the boom
length is 22.5m long, the signal lamp B will extinguish)

3) Continue to pull the left joystick backward, the 2nd boom section will telescope in (when
telescopes in the 2nd boom section to 22m long, the signal lamp A goes out)

4) Return the joysticks to the neutral position, and thus the telescoping in main boom is
finished.

CAUTION:
a. The telescoping in sequence of main boom is that cylinder II retract first
(namely the 3rd , 4th and 5 th boom sections telescope in with the same length), after
the cylinder II retracts fully, the cylinder I starts to retract (the 2nd boom sections
telescopes in). If retracting the cylinder I is required while the cylinder II hasn’t
retracted fully during commission, turn the selector switch to right “compulsory
II”. But be sure that this switch is only used during commission not in normal
situation.

b. The telescoping speed of main boom is adjusted by the accelerator pedal and
the joystick. Depress the accelerator pedal and increase the inclination angle of
joystick, the telescoping mechanism will speed up. But it should be avoided to
changing the speed in the process of telescoping so as to ensure that the crane
works steadily.

：
CAUTION：
a. When the boom telescopes, the hook will lift or lower accordingly. So the
height of hook should be adjusted via the right joystick during boom telescoping.
Such operation should be performed slowly and steadily.
b. It is forbidden to telescope out the boom immediately after telescoping in the
boom. The above-mentioned motions can be done after about 2 seconds.
c. Lift the load uprightly. Dragging the load which is still on the ground is not
permitted. Avoid oblique dragging and pulling load.
d.The
d. repair switch is only used during commissioning or maintenance. It is
forbidden to use it under the normal working condition.
e. Only after the 2nd boom section telescopes out fully, can telescope out
the 3 rd,4 th and 5 th boom sections. And must strictly obey the lifting capacity

table. Otherwise the crane may overturn or be damaged.

f. When telescope out main boom, main boom may be telescoped in slightly
because of the change of the hydraulic oil temperature after a certain time. But
this natural telescoped in amount is not only affected by the change of the
hydraulic oil temperature but also the telescoping state of the boom, boom angle,
the lubricating state and other factors.
To avoid the natural telescoping in of main boom, we should pay attention to the
：
following items：
● Do not keep the temperature of the hydraulic oil rise greatly.
● Telescope out the boom properly to desired length when main boom
telescopes in naturally.
g. It is forbidden to telescope with load.
