— Be careful. During maintenance, the crane must stop working with or without load, and
repairing the crane is prohibited during crane operation.
— Only the trained and qualified personnel can maintain the crane.
— Never perform any maintenance when the operator is unable to do work normally due to bad
health or drinking alcohol or taking medicine.
— Any improper maintenance or carelessness will cause injury or death of persons and damage
to the crane.
— Comply with road travel and crane operating regulations in the place where you are
working.
— Before maintenance, if the outrigger is needed to extend, make sure there are no obstacles
around the crane. After the extension of outrigger, outrigger hydraulic system maintenance is
prohibited.
— Before maintenance, confirm that the machine has been set up well, and a warning board of
“In maintenance, no operation” in the operator’s cab must be present.
— Before maintenance, understand the condition and failures of crane to avoid danger in
maintenance.
— Personal protective equipments such as spectacles, protective clothing and safety shoes have
to be worn during maintenance.
— When test the vehicle during maintenance, no person is allowed to stay outside of the
driver’s cab.
— When test the vehicle during maintenance, observe the conditions of instrumentation and
warning lamp in the driver’s cab. If any abnormality occurs, park the vehicle in a safe place
in time.
— The vehicle testing during maintenance should be carried out on flat ground. If the vehicle
has to be maintained on a slope in some special cases, wedge must be applied under the
wheels.
— Prior to maintaining the engine and other moveable parts, the battery must be disconnected
(the negative cable first), and all condensers be discharged in order to prevent accidental
engine starting.
— Before welding the oil can and oil tank, clean them with water or cleaning agent, and
uncover the sealed cap, otherwise accidents will easily occur.
— In order to avoid being stifled or frostbite, maintenance of fuel system and air conditioner
system must be carried out in a well-ventilated environment.
— When the vehicle has to be towed, the propeller shaft connected with the front and rear
2
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

output-end of transmission must be disengaged. Otherwise, the transmission will be


damaged.
— Prior to sheet metal and electric (gas) welding, maintenance personnel should not only clean
up the inflammable and explosive materials around the working site but check whether the
fire-fighting devices such as fire extinguisher are in good condition as well.
— Prior to disassembling pipelines, connectors or related parts, release the pressure in them to
prevent injury to person. Never check leakage of pressure with hand.
— In order to avoid scald, watch out for scorching parts and pipelines as well as liquid and gas
in pipelines and cavities.
— Hydraulic oil is toxic and flammable. Keep out of reach of children in order to prevent
swallowing internally by mistake.
— Avoid breathing in evaporative emission or contacting used oil for a long time. Clean skin
with soap and water as soon as possible after touching oil. If there is oil entering into eyes,
rinse with water for 15 minutes and then see a doctor.
— The maintenance which is not carried out according to the instruction will result in the
damage of the parts and increase the risk of vehicle accidents.
— Welding operation under the condition of vehicle with electricity is prohibited. Before
welding, the positive cable (+) and negative cable (-) must be removed from the battery.
The distance between the welded parts and earth wire should not exceed 500 mm.
— The damage of crane’s boom or jib will cause serious accidents. The damage of chord, the
bending or loss of pin shaft, or the crack of welding seam will weaken the intensity of lattice
jib and boom. Check the boom daily to see whether it is damaged. It is not allowed to use
boom when it is broken.

As the boom is made of high-tensile steel, special maintenance methods are required.
Please consult your manufacturer.
— Maintain or adjust the crane when there is heavy goods hung on the hook block or the boom
has extended will cause accidents, because the heavy goods or boom may have dangerous
movement.
— Before maintenance, lower the heavy goods to the ground and lower the boom to the
appropriate bracket.
— The pressure in hydraulic system will maintain for a long time, and should be released
before adjustment or maintenance. If not, the pressure will cause dangerous movements of
the crane or result in the high-speed spray of hot oil and pipe union.

2.1 Boom and telescoping system


2.1.1 Parts function
1. Boom and its telescoping system
Boom is the main component to which force is applied; it bears the weight of heavy goods,
wind load and other loads during working. Telescoping system is the necessary system to realize
the boom length changing.
2. 5300 balance valve
5300 balance valve is located at the rear of telescoping cylinder which can prevent retraction
of the cylinder when the control lever is in the neutral position, but also make the retracting
speed of boom stable when the boom is retracting. 5300 balance valve also has the safety
protective function of preventing oil cylinder from rapid retracting when the hose of boom
telescoping pipeline blow out suddenly.
2.1.2 Working principle and structure
The crane has five boom sections, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th boom sections driven by two
telescoping cylinders telescope sequentially and synchronously. That is the first-stage cylinder
drives the 2nd boom section with 3rd, 4th and 5th boom sections in it to stretch out, after that,
second-stage cylinder and ropes drive 3rd, 4th and 5th boom sections to extend sequentially and
synchronously; when retract boom sections, the second-stage cylinder and ropes drive 3rd, 4th
and 5th boom sections retract sequentially and synchronously, and then the first-stage cylinder
drives the 2nd boom section with 3rd, 4th and 5th boom sections in it to retract. The pressure of
pressure-limited valve is adjusted to 25MPa in order to avoid piston rod crooking because of too
high pressure when the boom is extending.
2.1.3 Use and maintenance
1. Adjustment of cables
During operation of boom, the length of wire rope will change due to the force applied to
ropes or cables. So the boom telescoping system should be checked and adjusted monthly.
If the boom could not be extended and retracted synchronously or vibration
appears, it must be adjusted in time. Operation is not allowed before the trouble is removed.
Otherwise, wire ropes or cables may fall out of groove or break; consequently serious result
will be induced.
In order to keep normal operation, please do periodic adjustment. The method is as follows:
Extend all sections out after elevating the boom to 60°, and retract them in fully, repeat several
times.
Lower the boom down after 3rd, 4th and 5th sections are respectively extended a little, and
adjust the nuts on thin ropes II of 5th section synchronously as well as nuts on thin ropes I of 4th
5
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

section, till 3rd, 4th and 5th sections can be telescoped synchronously and no shaking. Tighten
nuts on thin ropes. (See Fig 2-1, 2-2)

Nuts on thin rope II

 If boom shakes while adjusting, coat sliding surface of slide block with grease.
 It is not allowed to extend all boom sections out for coating, only two or three sections
may be extended out and then lowered down for each coating. Please refer to
performance plate or load chart.
 Prevent the cable from rotating while nut is tightened.
2. Adjustment of slide block
The slide blocks have all been adjusted well when the crane is delivered to the consumers. No
adjustment is needed only when boom crooking, lateral loading and deflection because of serious
frictional damage or some other reasons. Users can adjust the slide block on the boom head by
adjusting the slide block bolt to control the clearance by themselves; as for the adjustment of
slide block on the base boom, the boom must be dismantled and the adjustment be carried out by
increase or decrease the number of washer under the slide block to control the clearance, see Fig.
2-3.

Adjust the bolt

Fig 2-3 Adjustment of slide block

 Before the adjustment of slide block on the boom head, the boom should be retracted
fully.

system which is responsible to change hydraulic energy into mechanical energy.
2.5.2 Working principle and structure

Fig. 2-7 Hydraulic motor diagram


The hydraulic motor works when an inclination exists between cylinder and output shaft.
Changing the inclination between cylinder and output shaft can change the oil suction quantity of
hydraulic motor in order to change the rotation speed and torque of the motor (see the figure).
The torque of hydraulic motor depends on its working volume, input pressure and flow. When
input pressure is certain, working volume is larger, torque of hydraulic motor is bigger. When
input flow is certain, working volume is smaller, rotation speed of hydraulic motor is higher.
This is the basic working principle of variable hydraulic motor.

12
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

2.5.3 Common troubles and troubleshooting


1. No pressure in hydraulic motor
Open the leakage oil pipe of the motor to check the leakage. The motor without troubles has
very low leakage; if the leakage is high, troubles of no pressure will be caused.
2. Loads cannot be elevated with normal pressure and no motor leakage.
The variable mechanism is out of order, or the bolts are adjusted incorrectly.

2.6 Central rotary joint

2.16 Engine and accessory system


2.16.1 Engine
Maintain engine strictly according to Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Contact Cummins engine service center for help about irremovable troubles.
2.16.2 Fuel pipeline
Check tightening condition of fuel pipeline as well as leakage. In engine oil inlet pipeline,
there is a fuel water filter (see Fig. 2-15) fitted above the fuel tank and under the deck.

Water filter
housing
Drain valve

Water level
sensor

Fig. 2-14 Fuel water filter


(1) Method of draining water
Water will settle at the bottom of the filter as water is heavier than oil. Water level sensor is
mounted at the bottom of filter housing and can check the conductibility of surrounding solution.
When there is enough water assembled at the bottom of the filter to replace the fuel around, the
senor will detect the change of conductibility and the display in driver’s cab will show fault code
418. At this time, turn the drain valve counterclockwise to drain water, and then close the valve
after operation by turning it clockwise.
(2) Replacement of filter element
Frequency of replacing element depends on the level of impurity in diesel fuel. The element
will be clogged with impurity during operation of engine, and the flow resistance of fuel will
increase gradually, eventually engine power decreases obviously and /or it is difficult to start. It
is recommended that replace element every 500 hours of operation or when engine power
decreases, whichever expires earlier. It is recommended to take a spare element on board, so that
replacement could be performed in time when fuel filter is blocked by the dirty diesel fuel in
tank.
(3) Troubleshooting
The main reason of engine power decreasing or difficult to start is that air enters into fuel
23
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

system.
If oil can’t be pumped or no pressure built in the system, first check drain valve for tightness,
and then fuel filter housing. After that, check all connectors for confirming that fuel pipeline is
not stuck or clogged by impurity. If problem remains after a new filter element is replaced,
please contact the maintenance and service center of Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Co. Ltd. .
2.16.3 Radiator
Check and rectify the liquid level. If the consumption of coolant is abnormal, check the reason
and remedy. Check pipeline and hoses for damage and leakage. Repair or replace radiator if
damage or trouble is found.
Make sure that all pipelines and hoses are not damaged and scratched,
and secured correctly.
(1) Check the outside of radiator and clean
The radiator should be cleaned after use in dusty circumstance for a long time. Blow impurity
(dust, dead insects, etc.) out of radiator pipeline by compressed air, or remove foreign body on
the back of radiator by water (opposed to the flow direction of cooling air). Clean the radiator
with proper pressure, otherwise radiator pipeline may be damaged. During cleaning, move water
gun continuously and never aim directly at the following in order to avoid components damage:
 Electric components
 Connectors
 Sealing
(2) Clean radiator water line
Add solution with 5% of density formed by water and light alkaline cleaning compound into
cooling system, preheat engine with proper speed to approximately 82℃(coolant thermostat
begins to open), and shut down the engine after running about 5 minutes. When the engine cools
to around 50℃, drain out the cleaning solution, and refill with clean water. Start and preheat
engine, drain out water after 5 minutes and then repeat the operation again.
2.16.4 Air filter
Carry out maintenance of air filter every 3 months or 250 working hours or red line appears in
the air filter negative pressure indicator. The interval of maintenance should be shortened in
dusty circumstance.
Check for confirming that the connector between air filter and engine is sealed well before
refill fuel every day, as well as all hose connectors and air filter cover. If any crack is found,
repair immediately and keep record in maintenance book.
Second-stage filter called safety element is mounted in first-stage filter. It is not recommended
to clean the second-stage filter, otherwise they will be damaged. Never disassemble second-stage
24
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

filter before replacement.


Pay more attention when disassemble first-stage filter to avoid dust entering into filter housing.
It is recommended to replace safety element one time after replacing first-stage filter element 3
times. If safety element looks clean and it’s not time to replace it, don’t loosen fly nut and never
change its location.
When clean filter with old safety element fitted, remove dust dropping from safety element.
But never use compressed air for cleaning (refer to Fig. 2-16). When replace safety element, take
out element carefully from the housing after removing fly nut and washer. Before install new
safety element, clean the inner surface of filter housing with a clean and wet cloth.

Fig. 2-15 Air filter cleaning diagram

Air filter is easy to be damaged during filtering air due to the shock of dust particles.
Replace filter element in time if excessive oil consumption, great quantity of exhaust and
smoke, as well as low power are found. Otherwise, it is harmful to engine.

2.17 Transmission
Replacement of oil in transmission should be performed when it is under hot state for
completely draining. At the same time, the oil in cooling circuit should be drained out. The
drained oil should be in a container and the disposal of waste oil should be done according to the
environmental protection requirements in the place where you are working.
Clean the drain plug and tighten it with specified tightening torque. (See Fig. 2-17)
25
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

Pay more attention to avoid scald from hot transmission oil and parts, and
avoid contacting kindling so as to prevent catching fire.
Replace the transmission oil according to the following procedures:
1. Refill oil
Before starting, refill the oil according to specified oil amount and trademark. Pay attention
to cleanness and prevent impurity particles from entering the oil tank with oil. Refer to Fig.
2-4 for the position of oil filler
2. Check the oil level in cold state
Rotate the turntable anticlockwise 90°, let engine run at idle speed for 3~5 minutes, and
then check the oil level which should be above the mark of “COLD” on the transmission
dipstick. If the oil level is lower than the mark of “COLD”, refill the oil, and if it is more than
the mark, there is no need to draw the oil out.
3. Check and adjust the oil level in working temperature
When the oil temperature of transmission reaches to working temperature (80℃-90℃), run
the engine at idle speed for 2~3 minutes. Check whether the oil level is in the mark area of
working temperature on the dipstick (in the area of “HOT”), and refill or decrease the oil
accordingly.

The oil level in working temperature should be checked weekly.

2.18 Axle
2.18.1 Parts function
The front and rear axle of RT100 are steering driving axle. Wheels are mounted on both ends
of axle, and the middle of axle is connected with frame by suspension. The basic function of axle
is to increase the torque passed from propeller shaft, distribute the torque to left and right driving
wheels, and make them have the differential function which is demanded in automobile
travelling kinematics. Axle also support the longitudinal force, lateral force, vertical force and
moment between frame and wheels.
2.18.2 Structure
Axle consists of main reducer, differential, rim reducer, half shaft, brake, axle housing and
other components.

2.19 Oil pump


2.19.1 Variable pump
1. Parts function
A11VL0 variable plunger pump is used for telescoping, elevating and hoisting of lifting
operation.
2. Working principle and structure of variable pump
Pump is the device transforming mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. Its output flow is in
proportion to the rotating speed of drive shaft, and the input rotational moment increases with the
increase of pressure difference between high pressure side and low pressure side. When the
engine drives the main shaft of pump rotating, the connecting rod plunger and cylinder are
rotating together, and cylinder rotates on the distributing. Because there is certain intersecting
angle between main shaft and cylinder axial line, the plunger gets an oil suction stroke when it
moves from bottom dead center to top dead center and sucks oil into the cylinder by oil suction
port and distributing plate waist type hole. When the plunger moves from top dead center to

28
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

bottom dead center, it gets an oil extrusion stroke and squeezes the oil that fully filled in the
cylinder to output port so that executive elements are driven. The variable pump works by
changing the inclination angle between main shaft and cylinder axial line through variable
mechanism. Changing the inclination angle can change the oil suction volume of variable pump.
The torque of variable pump depends on its working volume, output pressure and flow. When
output torque is given, the smaller the working volume is, the bigger the pressure of variable
pump is. When output rotation speed is given, the larger the working volume is, the higher the
variable pump flow is. This is the basic working principle of variable pump.

3. Replacement of variable pump
If the variable pump must be replaced due to something wrong with it, pay attention to the
contamination of the system in the process of dismounting and remounting and try to minimize
the contamination. The oil ports should be covered with plastic cloth. After finishing the
installation of new oil pump, hydraulic oil must be filled in from the two pressure oil ports of the
pump until the oil tank is full. When the pipelines are connected, the oil pump can work after
rotating for 15 minutes at idle speed.

RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

2.19.2 Gear pump


1. Parts function
a. Supply pressure oil for outrigger hydraulic system, and ensure the extension and retraction
of outrigger beam and outrigger jack.
b. During lifting operation, it supplies pressure oil for slewing system.
c. Supply pressure oil for transmission hydraulic radiating system.
d. When vehicle steers or pivot steers, supply pressure oil for steering cylinder to boost the
steering cylinder so as to reduce the operation force on steering wheel.
2. Working principle and structure
The concept of gear pump is simple. Its basic form is that two gears of the same size mesh
with each other and rotate in a tightly fitted housing. The interior structure of housing is similar
to “8” with two gears in it, and the outside diameter and two sides of the gear are tightly fitted
with the housing. The hydraulic oil from hydraulic oil tank enter the middle of the two gears
from the suction port, permeate this space, move with the rotation of gear along the housing, and
discharge when the two gears are meshing.
From the perspective of terminology, gear pump is also named oil discharge unit which is similar
to a piston in a cylinder. When one tooth enters the liquid space of another, liquid will be
extruded mechanically. Because liquid is incompressible, and it cannot occupy the same space
with tooth at the same time. Therefore, liquid is extruded. As the teeth mesh continuously, this
phenomenon occurs sequently. As a result, a continuous discharge volume is formed at the exit
of pump, and the discharge volume of each rotation of pump is the same. With the uninterrupted
rotation of driving shaft, liquids are discharged from the pump continuously. The flow volume of
pump is related to its rotation speed directly.

Extrude oil Suck oil

Fig. 2-21 Working principle of gear pump


Fig. 2-21 is the working principle diagram of external meshing gear pump. From the diagram,
it can be seen that a pair of external meshing gears are mounted in the housing of this kind pump.
As the gap formed by gear end face and housing end cover is very small, and the gap formed by
the tooth top of gear and inner surface of housing is also small, it can be regarded that the gear
pump housing is divided into left and right sealed chamber. When the gear rotates as shown in
the figure, the gear on right side disengages from mesh gradually, and intertooth space will show
up. Consequently, the volume of sealed chamber on this side increases, forming partial vacuum.
Oil liquid under the action of atmospheric pressure enters this chamber through the oil suction
port, thus this chamber is called suction chamber. With the rotation of gear, the oil liquids in
every intertooth flow from right to the left. In the left sealed chamber, gear teeth are meshing
gradually, decreasing the volume of this left sealed chamber and extruding the oil liquids in
intertooth from output port. And this chamber is called exhaust chamber. When the gear pump
rotates continuously, the oil suction port and output port suck and extrude oil accordingly,
realizing the process of delivering oil liquids to hydraulic system. In gear pump, oil suction area
and oil discharge area are divided by meshing gear teeth and pump. Therefore, there is no
independent oil distribution mechanism.

2.20 Outrigger
2.20.1 Parts function
Enlarge the support basis of crane, compensate the inclination and unevenness of working site
ground, and increase the anti-overturning stability of crane and the hoisting capacity.
2.20.2 Working principle and structure
Every crane has four outriggers disposed as “H” with two hydraulic cylinders each: horizontal
hydraulic cylinder and vertical hydraulic cylinder, which realize the outrigger movements of
telescoping and lifting. In working state, the outriggers extend to the ground and clear the crane
off the ground, supporting the whole weight of crane. When travelling, the outriggers are
retracted to reduce the outline dimension and increase its pass ability.
Refer to the part of outrigger assembly in parts catalogue for structure details.

2.21.2 Maintenance of electric system for driving operation


1) No current in crane and carrier electric systems
Analysis: Power supply circuit consists of battery, breaker F1 or fuse F2, starter switch, power
supply relay coil (control circuit) and main contact (main circuit), ammeter, breaker F6,
generator, and connecting cables. So any problem in one of them will cause no current in crane
and carrier electric systems.

broken, plug-in comes off. components.
Bad earth. Reground.

2) Starter doesn’t work


Analysis: most starting circuit troubles are from starter switch, second from starting circuit,
neutral and starting coil.
Solution:
1) Regular check: First put the control lever of transmission in “N”. Only when the lever is in
“N”, “N” will be shown on the display of transmission state, and then starting is permitted. If
other information is shown on the display, remove the transmission trouble according to
transmission instructions. If transmission is normal, do the following check. First, check
absorbing coil. If there is sound in the coil, that means the coil is normal, it is necessary to check
holding coil. If there is no sound in the absorbing coil, that means the absorbing coil is broken, it
needs to repair or replace. Second, check battery and main electric circuit. If there are no
problems in battery and main circuit, that means there is problem in starting motor, repair or
replace starting motor.
2) Remove trouble in CANBUS: press key F5 for “Carrier trouble diagnosis” in “Driving
page” to enter the page as shown in Fig.2-27. Get to know the working conditions of every
communication node in the page of “Carrier trouble diagnosis” as shown in Fig. 2-29 and
observe whether EPEC bus communication is normal or not. If “P1 fault” is shown, measure
whether the resistance between the two CAN cables (X104:2, X104:6) at EPEC controller with
AVO meter is 60Ω or not (if the value measured is in the range of 56~62Ω, it is considered
38
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

normal). If “EPEC and TTC fault” is shown, observe whether there is fault between EPEC and
TTC. The remedy method is to check the two 120Ω resistors and CANbus plug. If “Engine or
Transmission fault” is shown, observe whether is fault between engine and transmission, and the
remedy method is the same as that previously described. If it cannot be started after treatment,
check the K7 neutral relay and the connection. If all the above are normal, it is the problem of
starter. Repair or replace the starter motor.

3) Generator does generate electricity
Solution: Check if it is a mechanical problem or an electric problem.
Mechanical problem: belt or screw loose, generator bearing faulty. Repair or replace.
Electric problem: check with an AVO meter. The voltage from generator should be more than
27V. If the voltage is lower than 27V and no change after increasing accelerator, which means
there is problem in generator. Repair or replace.
4) Starter motor burned out
① Starter motor is not parallel with the center of flywheel gear ring, re-install the motor.
② Starting cable and power cable short circuit, check circuit and repair.
③ Starter motor faulty.
5) Instrument faulty

39
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

Fig. 2-28 Driving main page


Signals on the instrument in driving state are read from CAN bus in SAE J1939 format. If no
indication on engine tachometer, water temperature and oil pressure gauge, check CAN bus
communication through display system and PI, P2 power supply. If communication is normal,
instruments should indicate actual values. If it is not normal, all instruments do not indicate. At
this time, check the connections of communication circuit. If communication is normal, but one
of instruments does not work normally, it means that there is trouble in engine.
6) Lamp is not light
Solution:
① Check lamp circuit:
First, check whether the power supply of P1 controller is normal, and then check switch and
bulb. After that check ground cable, plug-in and cables. Repair or replace according to actual
conditions.
② Check communication CANBUS:
See the second item in Starter doesn’t work.

Plug-in is small component which is the most applied in electric system,


and easy to have trouble. The problems are mainly bad contact or reed cracked or
deformation. When any one of problems occurs, replace the component.
7) Overload protector tripping F1, F6
Overload protector is used as fuse, so do not press the “Reset” button after it tripped until the
vehicle power source main switch is turned off and no electricity on both terminals of overload

40
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

protector is ensured. If the overload protector continues to trip, measure the output load of the
overload protector. If there is short circuit present, remove it in time. Only when the vehicle
power source main switch is turned off, the “Reset” button of overload protector can be pressed
to make it work.
8) Outrigger could not work
① Observe if there is fault through the “Carrier trouble diagnosis” of driving main page;
P1 is the main controller, from which command is send out to control carrier outrigger
operation. Data of driving main page also comes from P1 controller. In case of fault in P1
controller CAN bus, carrier operation will not be finished.
P2 controller is used to control outrigger valve, illumination, hydraulic system pressure valve,
axle disconnected valve and suspension valve, etc. In case of error in P2 controller CAN bus,
pressure will not be built in hydraulic system, thus outriggers could not work.
② Enter P1 and P2 to see whether there is input or output on the corresponding terminal by
referring to electric system schemes.

Solution: Click “Fault parameter” to enter Fig. 2-32 for finding out the corresponding fault
description, and carrying out repeated repair. For example, when the code shown is 47, the
corresponding fault description is “Rear axle right steering solenoid valve faulty”. At this time,
check and repair according to the following: first, check if plug Y816a is in place, if yes,
measure whether there is current in P8 controller plug X894:88 with AVO meter. After repair,
turn off key switch, and then turn it on again, and observe whether there is fault. After each
repair, it is necessary to turn the key switch off and turn it on again for checking if fault is
removed. At the same time, check other fault. Checking should be done according to the process
shown in Fig.2-33, until “Steering system normal” is shown on “System state”.

Fig. 2-34 Angle sensor adjusting diagram


② Angle indicated is not correct (refer to Fig. 2-34)
Cause: the location of steering pulling rod is changed, angle sensor signal error.
Solution: turn all axles to neutral, and adjust sensor according to the following way: loose the
adjusting nut I and nut II on pulling rod, rotate the pulling rod left and right to adjust the position
of pulling rod and nut until the steering angle of the rod shows 0°on the display in operator’s
cab (target value is 0°, permissible error ±0.3°). Lock the adjusting nut I and adjusting nut II,
and seal them with thread sealing compound.
③ No motion in rear axle
No motion in steering proportional valve
Turn “steering mode selector switch” to gear 3, after 3 seconds, the current mode is changed to
crab walk. At this time, if rotate the steering wheel, all axles will turn towards the same direction,
and the angle value of each axle shown in Fig. 2-31 should be the same. If not, please remove
trouble as following:
Solution: First, check solenoid valve for incorrect connection, loose or unconnected plug. If
there are no previous problems, check the output voltage of each solenoid valve corresponding to
the previous modes with AVO meter, to see if it complies with the value output from each
terminal of P2 solenoid valves. If not, check the harness for short circuit or broken circuit.

5.3 Replacing wire ropes


5.3.1 Wire rope replacement standard
Wire ropes are fatigued with use, and to continue to use them without paying attention to
fatigue is very dangerous. Inspect and replace wire rope according to GB/T5972-2009
Cranes-Wire ropes-Care, maintenance, installation, examination and discard, and replace any
wire ropes which fall into one or more of the categories below.
1) Wire ropes of which 10 percent or more of all the wires (excluding filler wires) are broken in

91
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

one rope lay.


2) Reduction in diameter exceeds 7 % of the nominal diameter.
3) Kinked wire ropes.
4) Excessively deformed (indented strand, protrusion of wires, bird-caging) or corrode wire
ropes.
5) Wire ropes with an abnormal rope end.
5.3.2 Requirements of replacing wire rope
In general, replace wire rope with the same type and size as the original one. If the rope is not
the same type, the rope performance not less than the original one’s should be ensured, and fit
grooves on drum and sheaves.
If the rope is taken by cutting from a longer rope, the rope ends have to be securely seize before
cutting.
5.3.3 Wire rope replacement
Take the replacement of main winch rope as an example.
(1) Set up the crane on firm, level ground.
(2) Fully retract the boom, and then replace wire rope according to the following procedures.

5.6 Tire maintenance and replacement


5.6.1 Basic parameters for tire
Tire specification: 33.25R29 Tubeless
Tire max. speed: 35 km/h
Standard inflation pressure: 0.65-0.70Mpa
Rated load-bearing capacity of tire: 46000 kg (0 km/h), 34000kg (3 km/h), 23000 kg (35
km/h)
The inflation pressure means the pressure when the tire is cool, i.e. when the vehicle does not
begin to drive or 3 hours after stopping. If measure the tire pressure when it is hot, the pressure
will be higher 5% or 10% than that measured in cool state.
5.6.2 Visual check for tires
1) The tread depth of tire crown is not less than 5 mm.
2) The tire ply should not be exposed due to the partial wear of tire tread face.
3) There should not be crack and cut and ply exposed depth on tire tread face and side wall.
When mount tires, the following should be done:
1) Type and tire tread of tires on an axle should be the same.
2) Tires renewed should not be used.
5.6.3 Check of tire pressure
Before crane travelling and operation, make an overall check of the tire pressure, if pressure
reduces too quickly, check the reason of air leakage (for instance, check whether tire is punctured,
lacerated and valve mouth leaks).
5.6.4 Control of vehicle speed
There is a limit of tire max. speed, so never drive the vehicle more than the limit. Driving at
over-speed for a long time will result in tire overheating, and thus the tire’s service life will be
shortened. During driving, the driver should pay attention to drive, if there is obstacle in the front
of the vehicle (e.g. pit etc.), please response in advance to avoid knocking it. If it is not possible
to avoid, please decrease the vehicle speed as low as possible.
5.6.5 Storage of tire
Tire should be placed vertically. It should be stored in a shady and dry room, not open-air
depot. Being exposed to the sun for a long time will cause rubber aging before the due date. Tire
is made of rubber, so during driving and stopping the vehicle or storing tire never let it contact
with chemicals such as oil, acid and hydrocarbon, etc.. Otherwise, corrosion, deformation and
softening of tire will occur. During storing, transporting and mounting tire, it must be avoided to
damage the bead toe, otherwise, air tightness will be destroyed and the tire could not be used.

98
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

5.6.6 Rim inspection


The rim is one of the important parts in vehicle traveling system. When changing the wheels,
the following items should be checked:
1) Rim rustiness;
2) Rim defection and deformation;
3) Rim cracks;
4) Opening of rim flange, mounting hole and rim bolts and nuts.
After checking, repair or replace the parts damaged or deformed at once, if paint stripped,
repaint after rust is removed.

Never weld connections of rim bolt. Never repair deformed rim bolts. Replace old parts
with new ones.
5.6.7 Wheel replacing
1) After 10000 km of traveling, tires should be transposed. Refer to Fig. 5-1.

Forward direction

Fig. 5-1 Tire transposition diagram


2) Do not scratch bolt thread when replace wheels. No painting, grease and other dirty on the
touching face between brake drum and rim.
3) Keep pressing faces of wheel nuts clean.
4) Coat threads of wheel bolts and nuts with a little grease, oil or other anti-engaging agent.
5) Threads of all wheel nuts are right-handed. With tires mounted and wheels suspended, tighten
nuts in the order of diagonal transposition. Lower wheels on the ground, and tighten wheel nuts
with tightening torque of 600~660 N.m.

99
RT100 Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance Manual

6) After tires are remounted, retighten wheel nuts once every 50km of travelling according to
stipulations.
7) The replacement of tires must be permitted by equipment manufacturer, use the tires
conforming to load bearing capacity, speed and operating conditions.
