2.01 ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS 021178>05

Traffic regulations
The crane is approved for on>road travel if it is operated according to local and regional traffic regulations.
Before driving on public roads and highways, bring the crane to the appropriate condition to conform to local
and regional traffic regulations.
It must be assured that the weight, axle loads and dimensions remain as they are noted in the vehicle license
and that they are not exceeded.
For axle loads you must differentiate between technically possible and permissible loads, according to traffic
regulations.
In countries with EEC regulations, axles loads may not exceed 12 tons when driving on a public road or
highway.
If the crane operator drives on a road with an axle load which is higher than 12 tons, then he alone must take
the responsibility for this action.

DANGER: If axle loads or total weight exceed the permissible limit, then the braking power of
the vehicle will be reduced in proportion to the excess weight.

Brake pad wear and the danger that the brakes overheat will increase.

The steering system, the service brake, parking brake and retarder will then no
longer conform to regulations!

The life of the brakes, axles, wheel hubs, suspension cylinders and bearings will be
reduced.

A hook block may only be carried on the front if:

> it is reeved not more than 4 times,


> if it has been marked by the manufacturer on the data tag with he letter ∫E∫ for ∫entschßrft (defused)∫ and
> if the cable was attached to the front towing eyes and if the hook is held with an auxiliary cable and
attached to the towing coupling .

DANGER: When moving the crane on public highwathen the field of vision of the driver may
not be obstructed by the hook block.

Mast tip*

If a mast tip is installed, then > to prevent obstruction of the driverπs field of vision > it should be turned from the
working position to the transport position and secured in this position with pins and spring retainers.

2.02 INSTRUCTIONS ON RUNNING>IN 021617>02

Instructions on running>in

CAUTION: The crane is not yet running>in

For this reason, the following instructions must be followed:

1.) During the first 2000 km (1,240 miles), the mobile crane must not be driven at more than 3/4 of its maxi>
mum speed in each gear (engine speed = max. 1900 rpm)
> Full throttle is permitted only briefly when driving or traffic conditions demand.
> At the end of the running>in period, gradually increase to full power operation.

2.) The oil pressure and temperature gauges must be monitored constantly while driving!
> If either gauge shows an excessive reading, stop operation immediately.

3.) Carry out the following service operations after the first 50 and the first 100 kilometres (30and the first 60
miles) of operation.
> Check that wheel nuts are tightened securely.

CAUTION: Do not overtighten wheel nuts!


(max. permitted tightening torque = 600 Nm; 445 ft>lb).

> Check coolant and oil levels in the engine.


> Check oil level in power>shift (Hi>Lo) or automatic transmission.
> Check engine, transmission and axle mountings for secure seating and for leaks (visual check).
> Check drive shafts for secure connection.
> Check all other chassis components for secure mounting.
> Check air pressure and conditions of the tyres (visual check).

Breaking in the brake pads

In order to obtain optimum braking acting, new brake pads must be activated or broken in. Brake in the new
pads by applying the brakes in intervals in low to medium speed range, do not brake forcefully! The braking in
route > preferably at least 500 km (310 miles) depends on the vehicle. In this phase, the maximum brake drum
or brake disk temperature of 200 ∞C (392 ∞F) may not be exceeded. The increase in temperature resulting from
each individual braking action may not exceed 15% of the maximum value.

CAUTION: DO NOT break in new brake pads through one or more continuous braking actions
over a longer period of time or by applying the brakes forefully while driving at
high speed.

DANGER: If this point is not strictly observed, you could cause a serious accident!

Operational planning

As well as a fully functioning crane and well>qualified personnel, operational planning is an important
precondition for safe and reliable crane operation.

The crane operator must be in possession of or procure all the necessary information before starting the crane
operation, especially:

> Nature of work

> Site location (journey distance)

> Route to be driven

> Height and side clearances

> Electrical overhead wires (complete with voltage data)

> Space requirements at the operating sites

> Movement restrictions due to surrounding structures

> Weight and dimensions of load(s) to be lifted

> Required lifting height and radius

> Load>bearing capacity of soil or surface to be operated upon

The crane operator can then use this information to decide on the correct crane operating equipment:

> Hook blocks/load blocks

> Auxiliary telescopic boom

> Lifting / slinging tackle

> Counterweight

> Underlay material for support pads

DANGER: If the crane operator does not possess all necessary and required information, it
may prove impossible to carry out the intended work, or he may be tempted to
improvise > and accidents may be the result!

Requirements of the crane operator


The most important requirement of the crane operator is to control, operate and adjust the crane so that there is
no danger to the crane crew and/or third parties.

In order to fulfil this requirement, we would like to give you in the following a few important safety notes.

65% of all accidents involving vehicle cranes is due to improper crane operation.

Improper operating procedures most often carried out are:

Not paying careful attention while working in the case of, for example:
> slewing too quickly,
> quick braking of the load,
> cross pulling,
> loose cable formations
Overloading
Driving too fast with a load, or setting up and loading on an uneven surface.
Improperly slinging a load.
Operating in unsuitable conditions, especially pulling at an angle or fixed loads coming loose.
Wind on suspended load.
Improperly driving on public roads without a load, for example, engine or transmission overloaded.
Collision with bridges, ceilings, high>voltage wires.
Insufficient support; support base beneath the supports not sufficient in capacity.
Improper assembly/disassembly of telescopic booms.

20% of all accidents involving cranes are due to improper maintenance:


> Lack of oil, grease or antifreeze
> Accumulation of too much dirt
> Broken cables, defective tires, worn parts
> Emergency limit switch or load torque limiter not operational
> Brake and/or transmission failure
> Defects in the hydraulic systems; for example, tears in hoses
> Loose screws

DANGER: In your interest and in the interest of others, please learn to command your crane
thoroughly and familiarize yourself with all the dangers associated with the work to
be carried out.

Selecting an operating site


To avoid accidents from the outset, the correct selection of an operating site is extremely important.
The operating site should be selected so that:
> the supports can be extended to the points prescribed in the load capacity tables.
> crane operations can be carried out within the smallest possible radius.
> no obstacles hinder necessary movements.
> the ground at the operating site is able to support expected loads.

DANGER: The most important requirement for safe crane operation is working on firm
ground with the capacity to support your loads.

Slopes and trenches


The crane must not be set up too close to slopes or trenches and depending on the type of soil, a safe distance
must always be kept from them.

Note: Safe distance is measured from the foot of the trench and is:
> soft or backfilled soil = 2 ¥ depth of trench (A2 = 2 ¥ T)
> hard or grown soil = 1 ¥ depth of trench (A1 = 1 ¥ T)

DANGER: If a safe distance can not be kept, the slope or trench must be firmly filled.
Otherwise, there is a danger that the edge of the slope or trench will give way.

2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>05

Permissible ground>bearing load


When the crane is supported, the supports exert considerable pressure onto the ground. In certain cases,
individual supports must take up the weight of the crane as well as the weight of the load and this is transferred
to the ground.
The ground must always be able to stand up to the pressure exerted upon it. If the surface area of the support
pads are not sufficient, these must be fixed with a foundation corresponding to the load> bearing capacity of the
ground. The necessary supporting surface can be calculated from the load> bearing capacity of the ground and
the supporting pressure of the crane.

2. concrete concrete groupe B I 50 > 250


concrete groupe B II 350 > 550

If there is any doubt as to the load>bearing capacity of the ground at the operating site, the ground must be
investigated; for example, with a dynamic sounding rod.

CAUTION: Only stable materials, such as wood planks of sufficient strength and size, may be
used to make a foundation beneath the support pads. In order to achieve an even
distribution of pressure above the foundation surface, the supports must be
positioned in the middle of the foundation.

2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>05

Support pads
Strict adherence to the support base in reference to load>capacities as given in the load>capacity table is
absolutely essential to the safety of crane operations.
Equal distribution of pressure on the support pads of the sliding arms must be established so that the
transmission of transverse force between the sliding arms is guaranteed.
The outriggers may only be used when the sliding arms are extended in these positions!

DANGER: Intermediate adjustments between the prescribed support widths may not be made
as the transmission of transverse force is only possible above lateral support bases
and, because of the absence of a support base in intermediate positions, an
incorrect initiation of force is applied to the upper boom.
The sliding arms must be pinned securely to prevent any movement of the support
jacks, which could cause a serious accident!
The pins must be fully inserted and the handle must point downward, otherwise it
could cause a serious accident, causing the crane to topple over.

Always extend all 4 sliding arms and support jacks, including those on the side opposite the load. If only the
sliding arms and support jacks on the load side are extended, the results could be dangerous as:

DANGER: 1. The load hanging on the hook tensions the hoist cable and the telescopic boom
and also the lattice fly jib if used and the guy cables) and also deforms them. If, in
this situation, the load were to drop out of the lifting tackle cables, or if the lifting
tackle cable or hoist cable were to break, the load on the boom would be suddenly
lifted and the boom would jerk up violently.
Therefore the crane may topple over.

2. Despite what has been assumed before commencing operations, it may prove
necessary to slew the load to the opposite side.
Therefore the crane may topple over.

3. When turning form longitudinal direction, the crane can tip over due to the
momentum of the boom or counterweight.

Aligning the crane


Besides the proper foundation beneath the supports, horizontal alignment of the crane is essential to
operational safety.

DANGER: If the crane is set up unevenly and the boom is swung toward a downhill grade, the
result is an extension of the boom radius, which in extreme cases can cause the
crane to topple over.

Example: At a boom length of 50 m, uneven adjustment of the crane by only 5∞ will cause an boom
radius of 10 m to be increased by a = 4 m.

2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>05

Checking safety measures

Crane supported

> Is axle suspension blocked?

> Is the load>bearing capacity of the ground sufficient?

> Are all 4 sliding arms and support jacks extended to the support base as given in the load>capacity tables?

> Are the sliding arms secured with bolts?

> Are the support pads secured?

> Is the crane horizontally aligned?

> Is there sufficiently safe distance from slopes and trenches?

> Have the axles been relieved of loads, i.e., is there no longer contact between the ground and the tires?

> Has it been established that the crane is not in the vicinity of electrical overhead wires?

> Has the operating site been selected so that the crane may operate within the smallest possible boom
radius?

> Are there any obstacles in the area that will hinder necessary crane movements?

42
2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>05

Crane operation with a load


Before beginning any work, the crane operator must be convinced that the crane is in safe operating condition.
The safety devices, such as load torque limiter, hoist limit switch, brakes, and so forth, must all be operational.
> The load torque limiter must be set to the current operating status of the crane.
> The load capacities as given in the load capacity tables must be adhered to. The crane must never be
operated with a load exceeding the permissible load capacities.
> Before beginning any operations, the crane operator must know the weight and dimensions of the load.
> All hoisting and slinging tackle must meet the requirements of the work to be carried out.
> It must be ensured that the weights of the hoisting, slinging and staying tackle are taken from the load
capacity table.

Example:

Highest permissible load capacity according to table 30.000 kg 30.000 kg

Weight of the hook block 370 kg . /. 370 kg

Weight of the slinging rope 40 kg . /. 40 kg

Actual useful load of the crane Table value = 29.590 kg

In this case, the load to be lifted may not exceed 29,590 kg.

Ballast
The required ballast is dependent on the load to be lifted and necessary boom radius for operating with that
load. Data in the corresponding load capacity table is decisive in selecting ballast.

DANGER: If ballast is not mounted according to the load capacity table, there is danger of the
crane toppling over.

Hoisting gear, hoisting cable


The lifting capacity of the crane depends on the tensile force, or pull, of the hoisting cable and the number of
possible hoist reeving cables. When working with a single cable, the crane can only lift as much as the hoisting
gear pulls.
If the load to be lifted is greater than the pull of the hoisting gear, the hoisting cable must be reeved between
the pulley head on the boom and the hook block as many times as necessary according to the principle of a block
and pulley.
When reeving, ensure that the data given in the load capacity table book and operating instructions are
observed and adhered to.

DANGER: If the maximum tensile force is exceeded, there is the danger that the cable(s) may
snap or that the hoisting gear and/or drive motor may be damaged.

43
2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>05

Crane operation

D A N G E R exists if:

1. The load torque limiter is not set to the actual equipment status of the crane, and as a result, cannot
fulfil its function as a safety device.

2. The load torque limiter is defective or put out of operation.

3. The sliding arms of the hydraulic supports are not extended to the points specified in the load capacity
table.

4. The support pads are not supported with stable base material sufficiently large for the soil conditions.

5. If the load is pulled at an angle. It is particularly dangerous when pulling to the side since the telescopic
boom has a lower torque resistance to the side. The load may not be pulled at an angle.

6. An excessive load is attached to the hook during dismantling work, which then hangs freely on the
crane when it is detached.

7. If loads which have become stuck are pulled free with the hook block. Even if the weight of the load
which is stuck is no greater than the permissible lifting load, the crane may topple over backwards if the
load is suddenly freed since the tension created in the boom can cause it to jerk back violently.

8. Work is carried out in strong winds. Refer to the data given in the load capacity table.

9. The crane is not aligned horizontally and the load is slewed toward the slope.

10. The hook load begins swinging because the crane operator has not properly controlled the movements.

11. The loads and radii contained in the load capacity tables are exceeded.

12. When working in the vicinity of power cables, these are not isolated by electricity engineers or if the
hazardous area is not covered of fenced off. If it is not possible to take such measures, a sufficient safety
clearance must be maintained:

Minimum distance
Rated Voltage
[m] [ft]

up to 1 kV (1000 V) 1 3

above 1 kV up to 110 kV 3 9

above 110 kV up to 220 kV 4 13

above 220 kV up to 380 kV 5 16

if rated voltage is unknown 5 16

Note: If, despite all precautions having been taken, a flashover occurs, carry out the following
procedure:
> Keep calm.
> Do not leave the crane cab.
> Warn those around the crane not to move and not to touch the crane.
> Move the crane away from the danger area.

DANGER: Not observing the above points can lead to (fatal) accidents and damage!

44
2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>05

Safety guidelines for auxiliary power supply (230 V AC)

If the crane is supplied by an auxiliary power supply from a low voltage power supply distribution network
(230!V AC), then it poses a potential danger.

Electrical power is especially dangerous if there is an interruption in the protective conductor, (due to
mechanical wear of the flexible supply line or the house installation), in case of loose terminal connections, high
line and transfer resistance, interchanged conductors, defective or non>existing protective measures in
connection with an insulation fault on the crane.

DANGER: Moisture infiltration and / or defective machines can cause voltage displacement
due to an insulation fault.
The person touching the unit will be exposed to a dangerous voltage surge.
There is a DANGER OF LIFE AND DEATH!

For that reason, it must be assured that the flexible auxiliary supply line is fully functioning and in proper
order.
If necessary, we recommend to connect a power isolating transformer.

CAUTION: To check the protective measures and to decide if the crane can be supplied with
power from the general power supply distribution network, a competent trained
electrician must be called in with the appropriate test instruments according to
VDE.

Working near transmitters

If there is a transmitter near the job site, strong electro>magnetic fields may exist.

DANGER: These electro>magnetic fields can pose direct or indirect danger to persons or
objects, for example:
> Effect on human organs due to temperature increase
> Danger of burns or inflammation due to temperature increase
> Spark or electric arc formation

In any case, before working with the crane near transmitters, contact your LIEBHERR representative .
In addition, consult a high frequency specialist.

45

46
2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>05

The high frequency (HF>) rays from a transmitter require an increased working protection and
special UVV>guidelines for crane operator and crane personnel

1. Every crane must be "totally" grounded. Check visually or with a simple tester to ensure that ladder, cab
and cable pulleys are grounded.

2. All persons working on the crane or on larger metal parts must carry special protective gloves without
metal connectors and suitable protective suits to protect them from burns while working.

3. If one should feel an increase in temperature, there is no need for panic. Simply act as if the affected tool,
component or carrier is "hot".

4. The temperature of the tools affected by high frequency depends on their "size". Cranes, carriers and
coverings, for example, are "hotter".

5. When moving the crane, do not allow it to touch other crane loads (light arcs).
Since burn nicks reduce the load carrying capacity of the cables significantly, contact your supervisor
(master) any time such a contact has occurred, so that the cables can be checked and inspected.

6. An insulator (1) must always be between the load hook of the crane and the tackle, this insulator (1) may
not be removed, this is strictly prohibited.

7. The cable may not be touched above the insulator (1). This is strictly prohibited!

8. Never touch the crane with attached loads with unprotected body parts after lift off or after set down.

9. Never work with exposed, unclothed upper body or short pants, this is strictly prohibited!

10. If possible, transport larger loads in horizontal direction, to reduce high frequency absorption!

11. Before carrying out any necessary manual work, ground the loads first or insulate them (place a rubber
cloth between the tool and the glove).

12. The temperature of the tool can be checked with a suitable tester.
If, for example 500 V can be measured on a tool at a distance of 1 to 2 cm, then the tool may not be touched
with bare hands.
The larger the distance, the higher the voltage is on the tool:
at a distance of 10 cm, the voltage is approx. 600 V, at a distance of 30 cm, the voltage is approx. 2000 V.

13. To prevent accidents, work on components located higher up may only be carried out with a safety belt.

14. Handling explosive matter (such as refueling) may only be done at least 6 m away from the place where
sparks could form due to handling of larger metal parts.
To refuel, use only appropriate and approved rubber hoses .

15. All accidents or special occurrences must be reported immediately to the local construction supervisor
and the safety engineer.

A suspended load is always a risk


When performing any movement, the crane operator must always keep his eye on the load, and when moving
the crane without a load, he should observe the crane hook or the lifting tackle. If this is not possible, he must
only operate the crane according to instructions given to him by a signaller. These instructions may be given in
the form of hand signals or over a two>way radio. Whatever method is used, precautions must be taken to
eliminate the risk of misunderstandings.

DANGER: Hand signals must first be discussed and agreed upon and then clearly given.
Misunderstandings can lead to serious accidents.

The hand signals illustrated on the opposite page are given as recommendations for safe working.

When operating in foreign countries, always observe NATIONAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.

Starting the engine with the flame glow preheating system


The travel motor (engine) is equipped with a flame glow system and a flame start control unit.

Description of function
The flame start control unit supplies the current to the indicator light (50), the flame glow plugs in both intake
pipes and the solenoid valve for the fuel supply for the flame glow plugs.

At a lube oil temperature below the glow stop temperature (e+20∞C ), the preglow phase begins when the igni>
tion is turned on.

Preglow time
The preglow time depends on the system voltage .
When the ignition is turned on, the indicator light (50) lights up , the flame glow plugs are energized.
After completion of the preglow time, the indicator light (50) starts to blink (approx. 0.8 Hz), the STARTING
READINESS phase of the flame start system begins.
If the engine is not started during this time, the flame start control unit turns the flame glow plugs and the indi>
cator light (50) off.
If the engine is started during the starting readiness phase, then the flame start control unit opens the solenoid
valve for the fuel supply for the flame glow plugs.

After glow operation


The after glow operation starts when the starting procedure has been completed, the flame glow plugs continue
to be energized, the solenoid valve opens, the indicator light (50) turns off.
If the starting procedure was not successful, then the solenoid valve and the flame glow plugs are turned off.
> Return the ignition key to the stop before restarting the ignition.

At a lube oil temperature above the glow stop temperature (f+20∞C), the flame glow system is not functio>
ning, the indicator light !(50) blinks as soon as the ignition key is turned from the 1st notch and the engine is
ready to start.

Observe the oil pressure gauge (35) and the warning light (53) immediately after starting the engine.

CAUTION: If no oil pressure is shown or if the warning light (53) does not turn off, turn the
engine off immediately, to prevent engine damage due to insufficient lubrication.

The engine must be turned off immediately if:


> the oil pressure drops or fluctuates greatly
> the power and engine speed drops without a change of the throttle control lever
> there is a lot of smoke coming from the exhaust
> the coolant and oil temperature increases
> you can hear sudden abnormal noise coming from the engine or turbo charger.

Do not put a full load onto the engine until it is at operating temperature.

When starting a warm engine, do not press down on the gas pedal (5) to prevent unnecessary exhaust emis>
sion.

The following indicator lights must turn off when the engine is running:
> Preglow indicator light (50)
> Battery charge indicator (51)
> Engine oil pressure (53)
> The oil pressure in the torque converter / automatic transmission is too low (54)
> Steering circuit I (57)

sure).

3. Turn the engine off


> Relieve the engine load by slowly decreasing the engine RPM, let the engine run for a short time at idle speed
to give the turbo charger time to run out.
This is especially important for turbo charged engines, the turbocharger runs at high speeds and must have ti>
me to run out. If the engine is turned off suddenly, the turbocharger would run for some time without suffi>
cient oil supply.

> Turn the engine off by turning the ignition key (30) to the left.
> Remove the ignition key.

CAUTION: If tghe engine is at a standstill and the ignition is left "on", the batteries may
discharge, depending on their current charge.

Adjust the axle suspension


The switch (154) must be turned off , the indicator light in the switch is not on.
In this position, all axles are suspended.

Note: For a description of the "AXLE SUSPENSION / LOCKING SYSTEM ", refer to chapter
3.03.

Automatic leveling > travel height adjustment


The automatic and manual travel height or level adjustment must be made while the vehicle is parked on a firm
and level road surface.
> Start the engine, as described in chapter 1. and 2.

CAUTION : Before actuating the axle suspension / locking system, make sure that there are no
persons within the danger range of the crane.

> Push button (142) for automatic level adjustment until the indicator light (143) lights up. The level (travel
height) is now adjusted correctly. The indicator light (143) will light up as long as button (142) is depressed.

Manual leveling

C A U T I O N: When driving on public roads, manual level adjustment is only permissible under
special circumstances, for example if the crane must be lowered in order to impro>
ve its vertical clearance, allowing it to pass under a bridge.
The vehicle may only be leveled manually if the vehicle is at a standstill!

Carry out the manual travel height adjustment as described in "AXLE SUSPENSION / LOCKING SYSTEM ",
chapter 3.03, paragraph 1.2 .

Ready to travel > engine runs in low idle speed


> Select the desired range on the gear selector switch (161). A slight drop in engine RPM shows that the selected
gear is shifted.

C A U T I O N: Check the brake function immediately after the crane starts to move.

Engine brake (1)*


Use the foot button (1) to apply the wear free engine brake.

DANGER: When going downhill, use only the engine brake.


If the braking action is insufficient, slow down the vehicle with the service brake
until the transmission can down shift to next lower gear.

Eddy current brake (6)*


With the 5>stage steering column switch (6), the Eddy current brake can be actuated as needed. Brake function
is indicated on indicator light (63).

CAUTION: The steering column switch (5) must be switched back to ZERO (towards the front)
as soon as the vehicle has come to a stop or as soon the braking function is no
longer necessary.

Emergency release valve* (159) for parking brake (manual brake)


If the parking brake is blocked due to a defect in the air pressure system, then the brake can be vented (relea>
sed) by pressing the button (159)* and the vehicle can be moved from the danger zone.

DANGER: DO NOT CONTINUE to drive with a defective air pressure system!

Driving downhill
Use the engine and the Eddy current brake* to slow the driving speed, in order to take it easy on the service
brake.
A simple rule of thumb:
Drive downhill in the same gear as you used to drive uphill.

C A U T I O N: If you go downhill too fast, the engine brake can be overworked and it can no
longer hold a constant travel speed, at the same time, the oil temperature will
exceed its upper limit of 120∞C .
In this case, use the service brake to slow the vehicle and shift to the next lower
gear.
If the travel speed is adapted to the incline, as previously described, the engine
brake can slow the vehicle speed without the danger of overheating.

Getting ready to drive


The engine is running at low idle RPM.
On the gear selector switch (161) , select stage 1 (forward or reverse, as needed).

Release the parking brake, the manual brake lever points to the front when the brake is released.
The crane will already start to move off slowly .

Shifting, driving
Six forward gears and 2 reverse gears are available to drive the crane.
The travel speed is regulated via the pedal (5) and the gear selector switch (161) for the automatic
transmission.
The individual shift stages can be shifted under load.
To protect the engine from overspeeding, do not shift back until the highest speed of the next lower gear has
been reached. If necessary, slow the crane down with the operating brake until this speed has been obtained.

CAUT ION : If the vehicle is not moving, the engine must be running at low idle speed to shift
from ∫N∫ to another gear .
DO NOT press the gas pedal during or shortly before shifting from "N" to another
gear.

The various positions of the gear selector switch (161)


With the gear selector switch (161) , various shift programs can be selected or set .

Driving, shift programs


Use switch (155) to preselect between two different travel programs , ∫FP 1∫ and ∫FP 2∫ . The change over
from ∫FP 1∫ to ∫FP 2∫ or reverse is also possible while driving.

C AU T I O N : It is important to select the correct range.

FP 1 :
For predominantly level routes.
This travel program is designed as an economy program, the gear shifts up to ta higher gear at approx. 1900
RPMs.

FP 2 :
For uphill routes.
This travel program is more powerful (with higher fuel consumption).
The gear shifts up at approx. 2100 RPMs.
The travel program ∫FP 2∫ should only be used before driving uphill.

The different positions of the gear selector switch (161), their meaning and use is as follows:

N (Neutral)
The gear selector switch must be in this position to start the engine.

CAUT ION: For safety reasons, before starting the engine, apply the parking brake.
Never let the vehicle roll out in idle ( gear selector switch on ∫N∫ ) , because this
cancels out the engine braking effect, making the transmission lubrication insuffi>
cient.

D (Continuous drive )
In this gear selection, four forward gears are available, since the transmission starts out in 3rd gear and then
shifts to 4th, 5th and 6th gear.
At the appropriate RPM and speed, in all forward gears, the torque converter is turned off (bypassed) and a
simply mechanical transfer of power from the engine to the gear is established.
Down shifting is done in reverse order.

5 (Continuous drive with limited top speed )


In this gear selection, the change from 3rd to 4th gear occurs automatically. The 5th and 6th gear is blocked.
This gear selection is recommended for routes where the automatic would constantly switch between the 4th
and 5th gear or when driving down a slight hill, to prevent from shifting up to the 6th gear.

4 (Continuous drive with limited top speed )


In this gear selection, the change from 3rd to 4th gear occurs automatically.
The 5th and 6th gear is blocked.
This gear selection is also recommended for routes where the automatic would constantly switch between the
4th and 5th gear or when driving down a slight hill, to prevent from shifting up to the 6th gear.

3 Slow gear
In this gear selection, only the 3rd gear is used. Upward shifting is suppressed.
This is advantageous when driving uphill or downhill.

2 Slow gear
In this gear selection, only the 2nd gear is used. Upward shifting is suppressed.
This is advantageous when driving uphill or downhill, the 2nd gear should be preselected in time.

1 (Inching / creeper gear)


All other gears are blocked.
This gear selection is recommended whenever extremely low speeds must be used or when load and terrain or
off road conditions require you to drive extremely slow.

R (Reverse gear)
DO NOT shift from neutral to reverse, or from reverse to forward or vice versa, unless the vehicle is at a
standstill, the manual brake is engaged, and the engine is running at low idle speed!
After shifting, wait approximately 1 to 2 seconds before accelerating

Shifting gears and driving


Even if the vehicle is at a standstill, always apply the service or parking brake before shifting from ∫N∫ to
another gear, to prevent the vehicle from "creeping away" .

Shifting gears manually


While driving along in forward direction, the gear lever can be used to change gears and to transfer to another
gear range even at full speed, in order to get the transmission to automatically shift to a higher or lower gear.
For example. select the 2nd gear before driving uphill, even though you could still drive in "D" .
The automatic transmission will shift back to the 2nd gear by itself.

Keep an eye on the following important instruments while driving: :

1. Warning light > engine oil pressure (53),


2. Warning light > coolant temperature (71)

CAUTIO N : If one of the warning lights (53, 71) comes on during travel, then the crane must be
stopped immediately and the engine must be turned off.
Low engine oil pressure or high coolant temperature can cause serious engine
damage.

3. Coolant temperature gauge (32)


If the temperature increases too much while driving, try to lower the temperature to a permissible range of 85∞C
to 90∞C ( 185∞ F to 194∞ F) by decreasing the engine load or by increasing the engine speed.

C A U T I O N: If the coolant temperature does not drop to within the permissible range, then the
crane must be stopped immediately and the engine must be turned off.

In case the mobile crane must be towed, a pressurized air supply coupling is provided on the right front
underneath the bumper. This connection must be coupled with the air pressure system of the tow truck to
maintain the pressurized air supply for the crane.

CAUTION: For towing, the reserve pressure of the air pressure brake system of the vehicle
to be towed must be at least 6 bar .

During the towing procedure, the parking brake must be released to prevent da>
mage to the brake system .

As a matter of principle, the towing speed may not exceed 10 km/h ( 6.2 miles per
hour) .

To tow the crane, use the rangier coupling with pins in the bumper.
The crane may only be towed with a tow bar.

Support the crane from the chassis


The crane can be supported from the chassis as well as from the crane cab.

CAUTION: The crane operator is obligated to set the appropriate load capacity chart for the
actual supporting width in the LICCON overload safety device.

The vertical support cylinders must be supported properly and may not be
extended as far as the lower stop.
The crane operator must assure, by measuring, that the extended cylinder stroke is
less than the maximum cylinder stroke.
If there is any doubt, all vertical support cylinders must be retracted a couple of
millimeters [mm] .

Bring the outrigger pads from transporting to operating position

Support the crane from the chassis


> Start the travel and crane engine, as described in chapter 3.04 ,
> Increase the engine RPM via the throttle control lever (160) to about 1500 RPM, otherwise let it run at low
idle.

Extend the sliding arms

DANGER: From the control box, the operator must carefully observe the sliding arms while he
extends or retracts them.
While the sliding arms are extended or retracted, the operator must make sure that
there are no persons or objects within the danger zone.

> Extend all four sliding arms to the support base specified on the load capacity chart.
> Check if support surfaces (E1 or E2) match.

Note: E1 = wide support base


E2 = reduced support base

Check marks (F) can be used by the crane operator to check the extension, if the extension is correct, they are
located just before the edge of the outer part of the sliding arm (D).

Secure all 4 sliding arms with 2 pins (A+B) per arm.

DANGER: The sliding arms MUST be secured with pins to prevent any subsequent movement
of the support surface. If this is not done, it could cause a serious a c c i d e n t !
The pins (A) must be completely inserted and the handle must point downward. If
this point is not adhered to, the crane could topple or tip over and cause a serious
a c c i d e n t.

Check the outriggers

Note: At this point, make sure to check the site again to assure that the outriggers can be placed
properly and securely and assure that all safety regulation and guidelines are strictly
adhered to, otherwise there is a serious risk of accidental injury or death!

DANGER: All 4 sliding arms for the outriggers must be extended, including those on the
opposite side of the load.
If only the sliding arms on the load side are extended, it can have serious
consequences, because :

1. Due to the load hanging on the hook, the hoist cable and the telescopic boom (this
also applies to the auxiliary boom and the guy ropes, if they are used) are under
great tension and stress.
If, in this situation, the load were to drop from the lifting cables and tackle, or if
the hoisting cable were to break, the sudden loss of the load and resulting relief
would cause the boom to jerk up, which in turn might cause the crane to topple
over.

2. Despite previous assumption, it might become necessary to swing the load to the
opposite side. If this happens, it could cause the crane to topple over.

3. When slewing from the lengthwise or longitudinal direction, the center of gravity
changes due to the boom or counterweight momentum, which might be sufficient
for the crane to topple over.

Supports
The outrigger pads must be set on a foundation or base, its size depends on the ground conditions, the
foundation must be made of strong material, such as wood, steel or concrete slabs.

Note: Read and observe the safety guidelines and observe the permissible ground bearing load
(chapter 2.04).
Outrigger pad area = 2500 cm2

DANGER: Use only suitable material for making the foundation.


The foundation must be placed in the center beneath the outrigger pads.
If this point is not observed, there is a serious risk of accidents.

To extend and / or retract the outrigger cylinders from the chassis


> Go to one of the control boxes and extend the outrigger cylinders and raise the crane until the wheels are off
the ground.

DANGER: If this point is not observed, the axles may be damaged during crane operation.

When you move the outrigger cylinders from the control box, move only those
outrigger cylinders you can see directly !

When the outrigger cylinders are extended or retracted, the operator must make
sure that there are no persons or objects within the danger zone.

Align the crane horizontally


On both sides of the vehicle and in the crane operatorπs cab are sight gauges to level the crane.
> Align the crane horizontally by extending or retracting the individual outrigger cylinders.
This is achieved when the air bubbles in the sight gauges are between the innermost rings.

DANGER: If the crane is not aligned horizontally, there is an increased risk of causing a
serious accident.

Note : The maximum permissible deviation from the horizontal crane position is ± 0,5% (± 0.3∞).
The air bubble in the sight gauges must be between the innermost ring (in the center).
If the sight gauges have been damaged by external forces and become maladjusted, then
they must be recalibrated.
To do so, place a level on the slewing ring of the vehicle, and align the crane horizontally in
a longitudinal and lateral direction. Then reset the sight gauges by adjusting the
adjustment screws and secure them in this position with lock nuts. During normal travel
and crane operation, the adjustment of the sight gauges should remain unchanged.

> Once the crane is aligned, reduce the engine speed via the engine regulation (160) to idle speed and turn the
engine off by turning the ignition key (30) to the ∫left∫.
> Turn the ignition off and remove the ignition key.

To put the crane into service

> Then continue to retract all four outrigger cylinders fully.
> Turn the switch (154) to the position for ∫Axles suspended∫.

CAUTION: Make sure all wheels touch the ground before changing the switch for the axle
suspension (154) .
If this point is not observed, it can cause damage to the axle suspension due to the
sudden release of the axle lock.

Bring the outrigger pads from operating to transport position Fig. 2


> Move the handle of pin (C) ∫upward∫ and pull the pin from bore (3),
> Push the outrigger pad into the retainer (1) and push the handle in until the stop on the head of the outrigger

Support the crane from the crane operatorπs cab

CAUTION: If the crane is to be supported from the crane operatorπs cab, then all guidelines and
preventative measures already given in the chapter describing SUPPORT THE
CRANE FROM THE CHASSIS must be observed.

If the crane is to be supported from the crane operatorπs cab, the desired movement (sliding arm or outrigger
cylinder) must be preselected via the preselector switch (319).

The button (319) must always be held down, when one of the buttons (295, 296, 308, 309) is actuated.
This safety measure is installed to prevent that the crane gets into a dangerous incline position due to
inadvertent actuation of one of the support function buttons.
Always give a warning signal (horn) before extending or retracting the sliding arms.

DANGER: The operator must carefully observe the sliding arms while he extends or retracts
them. If he must extend or retract outriggers without visually being able to seem the
outrigger cylinder or sliding arm, then he must use an assistant to guide him.
While the sliding arms are extended or retracted, the operator must make sure that
there no persons or objects within the danger zone.
If the crane is not properly horizontally aligned, there is a danger of accidents.
All 4 sliding arms and outrigger cylinders must be extended, even those on the
opposite side of the load.

Prerequisites
On the crane:
> The parking brake is applied,
> the crane is parked on level ground of sufficient load carrying capacity and has been aligned horizontally via
the manual leveling system.
> the safety pins on all four sliding arms are pulled out ,
> the outrigger pads are in operating position and secured,
> the battery master switch is turned on.

In the driverπs cab:


> The parking brake is applied,
> the axle suspension is locked, which means
the switch (42**) is set to ∫crane operation∫ ,
the switch (154) is turned on, (in position axle suspension ∫locked∫).

> The travel and crane engine is turned off,


> the ignition key has been pulled.

Support the crane from the crane operatorπs cab, continuation


> In the crane cab, insert the ignition key into the key operated switch (283), and start the travel engine as
described in chapter 4.10.

During the support procedure, the Diesel engine speed may be increased from idle to max. 1500 RPM via the
throttle control lever (160) in the driverπs cab.
Return the lever (160) to ZERO position as soon as the increased engine is speed is no longer needed.

> Via the control release preselector button (319), preselect the desired movement (either sliding arm or
outrigger cylinder).

The buttons (295, 296, 308, 309) have four functions each, depending on the symbols.

Extend the sliding arms from the crane operatorπs cab

DANGER: All 4 sliding arms on the outriggers must be extended, including the sliding arms on
the side opposite the load .

> Button (319) hold the button in ∫bottom∫ position and at the same time
> Button (295) push ∫down∫ > left front sliding arm extends,
> Button (296) push ∫down∫ > right front sliding arm extends,
> Button (308) push ∫down∫ > left rear sliding arm extends,
> Button (309) push ∫down∫ > right rear sliding arm extends.

Extend the outrigger cylinders from the crane operatorπs cab:


> Button (319) hold the button in ∫top∫ position and at the same time
> Button (295) push ∫down∫ > left front outrigger cylinder extends,
> Button (296) push ∫down∫ > right front outrigger cylinder extends,
> Button (308) push ∫down∫ > left rear outrigger cylinder extends,
> Button (309) push ∫down∫ > right rear outrigger cylinder extends.

Align the crane horizontally


> Align the crane horizontally by extending or retracting the individual outrigger cylinders.
This is achieved when the air bubbles of both sight gauges (206) are between the innermost rings.
The maximum permissible deviation from the horizontal crane position is ± 0.5% (± 0.3∞ ).

DANGER: If the crane is not aligned horizontally, there is an increased risk of causing a
serious accident.

To retract the outrigger cylinders from the crane operatorπs cab :


> Push button (295, 296, 308, 309) to evenly retract all outrigger cylinders and lower the crane until the wheels
touch the ground.
> Retract all four outrigger cylinders fully.

> Change over the switch for the axle suspension (154)

CAUTION: Make sure all wheels touch the ground before changing the switch for the axle
suspension (154) .
If this point is not observed, it can cause damage to the axle suspension due to the
sudden release of the axle lock.

Retract the outrigger cylinders

> Button (295) push ∫up∫ > left front outrigger cylinder retracts ,
> Button (296) push ∫up∫ > right front outrigger cylinder retracts ,
> Button (308) push ∫up∫ > left rear outrigger cylinder retracts
> Button (309) push ∫up∫ > right rear outrigger cylinder retracts .

Bring the outrigger pads to transport position and secure them.

Retract the sliding arms

CAUTION: Before retracting the sliding arms, return the outrigger pads to transport position
and secure them.
When you push the outrigger pads into the retainer, create a counterpressure to
prevent the outrigger pads from dropping!

> Button (316) hold the button in ∫down∫ position and at the same time
> Button (295) push ∫up∫ > left front sliding arm retracts,
> Button (296) push ∫up∫ > right front sliding arm retracts,
> Button (308) push ∫up∫ > left rear sliding arm retracts,
> Button (309) push ∫up∫ > right rear sliding arm retracts.

DANGER: The operator may only move those sliding arms he can see directly.
If he is not able to observe any of the outrigger cylinders or sliding arms, then he
must be guided by another person.
While the sliding arms are extended or retracted, the operator must make sure that
there are no persons or objects within the danger zone.
If the crane is not aligned horizontally, there is an increased risk of causing a
serious accident.
All four sliding arms must be extended, including the ones opposite of the load.

4.02 CONTROL + INDICATOR UNIT FOR ∫LICCON∫ OVERLOAD SAFETY DEVICE 022634>00

Operation:
See separately issued Operating Manual.

The LICCON overload safety device can be operated with the following control elements:

A $ Alpha numerical keyboard


With the alpha numerical keyboard (A), numerical values can be entered and a coded equipment
configuration view (load capacity chart) can be recalled on the screen.
The equipment configuration views are marked with a two digit number code.
If the entered code is confirmed with the button (C) ENTER, then the equipment configuration view (load
capacity chart) appears on the monitor.
If the equipment configuration view is confirmed with button (F8) O.K., then it is taken on by the
LICCON overload safety device and transferred to the ™OPERATION∫ program. The operating view
appears on the monitor .

B $ Program keys
With the program keys (B), various LICCON programs can be recalled.
By pushing program key (B1), for example, the equipment configuration view can be called up, and with
program key (B2), the operating view can be chosen.
During crane operation, various programs can be called up on the screen.
However, the crane operator is also able to view different equipment configurations, but he may not
confirm them with the key (F8) O.K.
By pushing the program key (B2), the operating view returns to the view, with which the crane works.
The equipment configuration view may only be selected if no crane movements are initiated.

F $ Function keys
With the function keys, operating conditions and functions, which are visible in the lower part of the
screen as symbols, can be changed.
The function keys (F1 to F8) are always to be viewed in connection with the symbols above, since they
have different meanings in different LICCON programs.

C $ The (C) ENTER key is an input confirmation key.


If there is a function in the operating mode and / or the equipment configuration is being changed, than
this change can only be confirmed with the key (C) ENTER and the load capacity chart can be called up
on the screen.
If the change in operating mode and / or the equipment configuration is confirmed with the key (C)
ENTER and an acoustical signal sounds, then the change has not been accepted. This means that the
chosen operating mode or the chosen equipment configuration has not been programmed into the
system.

D $ The installation key (D) is used to bypass either the LICCON overload safety device or the hoist top
limit switch.
On some cranes, the functions of this switch have been replaced by a switch on the instrument panel.

E $ The keys (E1) and (E2) < > are used for horizontal paging and are needed when a load capacity chart
is too wide to be viewed on one screen .
If keys (E1) and (E3) are pushed at the same time, the screen changes from light to dark.
When keys (E2) and (E3) are pushed at the same time, you can choose between 4 light levels.

4.02 CONTROL + INDICATOR UNIT FOR ∫LICCON∫ OVERLOAD SAFETY DEVICE 022634>00

Description

The LICCON safe load indicator or overload safety device (Liebherr Computed Controlling) consists of an
electronic module with power pack and micro processor central unit, the monitor with controls, pressure
sensors, incline angle and length sensors.

As an overload safety device, the LICCON works according to the principle of a comparison of ∫should be∫ and
∫actual∫ values.
The ∫actual∫ values coming from length,angle and pressure sensors are compared with the ∫should be∫ values,
which are stored in the central data processor, and then are calculated by the microprocessor.

The crane data values, such as the load capacity charts, boom weights, center of gravity and measurements,
have been stored on data chips in the central data bank. This data is the reference information used to calculate
any overload conditions.

The system functions are either controlled by automatic components such as boom length and angle sensors or
by direct input into the dialogue functions on the monitor .

The prewarning symbol blinks when the load on the crane is 90 % or higher than the maximum load carrying
capacity.

If the overload safety device recognizes a sensor problem, for example, which could lead to a dangerous
situation, then it shuts down and displays a STOP symbol, even though the maximum permissible load carrying
capacity has not been exceeded. The STOP symbol remains on and blinks as soon as the load on the crane
exceeds the maximum permissible load carrying capacity.
An acoustical signal sounds with the blinking prewarning and STOP symbol.

If the crane shuts off due to overload, movements must be carried out which will reduce the load momentum,
such as:
> setting the load down
> retracting the telescope
> luffing up while pushing the button ™Luffing up at overload∫

Load momentum increasing movements are:


> luffing down
> telescoping out
> taking on a load by luffing up.

The central unit recognizes ground problems, broken lines and short circuits after (+).
When the hoist top limit switch is triggered, the overload safety device is also triggered.
The movement ∫hoist gear up∫ and all load momentum increasing movements are shut off, the warning symbol
hoist limit switch and the STOP symbol appear and blink on the monitor.

DANGER: The proper function of the load moment limiter is only assured if the adjusted
operating mode, the equipment configuration and the hoist cable reeving actually
match the condition of the crane.
If this is not observed, it can cause a serious accident!

To weigh a load
The overload safety device makes it possible to determine the weight of a raised load (net load). This
calculation, however, is only permitted if the approximate weight of the load is known and it can be assured
that the crane is not overload.
With a free hanging hook block (with tackle), press the Tare button (F7) in the operating view. The ∫actual load

Starting the engine with the flame glow preheating system


The travel motor (engine) is equipped with a flame glow system and a flame start control unit.

Description of function
The flame start control unit supplies the current to the indicator light (291), the flame glow plugs in both inta>
ke pipes and the solenoid valve for the fuel supply for the flame glow plugs.

At a lube oil temperature below the glow stop temperature (e+20∞C ), the preglow phase begins when the igni>
tion is turned on.

Preglow time
The preglow time depends on the system voltage .
When the ignition is turned on, the indicator light (291) lights up , the flame glow plugs are energized.
After completion of the preglow time, the indicator light (291) starts to blink (approx. 0.8 Hz), the STARTING
READINESS phase of the flame start system begins.
If the engine is not started during this time, the flame start control unit turns the flame glow plugs and the indi>
cator light (291) off.
If the engine is started during the starting readiness phase, then the flame start control unit opens the solenoid
valve for the fuel supply for the flame glow plugs.

After glow operation


The after glow operation starts when the starting procedure has been completed, the flame glow plugs continue
to be energized, the solenoid valve opens, the indicator light (291) turns off.
If the starting procedure was not successful, then the solenoid valve and the flame glow plugs are turned off.
> Return the ignition key to the stop before restarting the ignition.

At a lube oil temperature above the glow stop temperature (f+20∞C), the flame glow system is not functio>
ning, the indicator light !(291) blinks as soon as the ignition key is turned from the 1st notch and the engine is
ready to start.

4.04 SAFETY DEVICES 023217>00

Check the safety devices


The crane operator MUST CHECK EVERY TIME before he operates the crane, that all safety devices function
properly.

DANGER: DO NOT OPERATE THE CRANE WITH DEFECTIVE WARNING DEVICES , this
can lead to serious accidents, causing injury or death.

LIEBHERR COMPUTED CONTROLLING ( LICCON )

Safe load indicator


The electronic safe load indicator turns all load moment increasing crane movement off as soon as the permis>
sible load moment is exceeded.
Only load moment decreasing movements can then still be carried out.
However, the fact that the crane is equipped with this load moment limiter does not absolve the operator from
his responsibility with regard to operating safety.
For that reason, before lifting a load, he must know the approximate weight of the load and decide, by checking
the load capacity table, if the crane is able to lift such a load.

DANGER: The safe load indicator is a safety device, it may not be used as an operational shut
off control when telescoping out or luffing up with a suspended load .
Before operating the crane, the load moment limiter must be adjusted to the actual
equipment configuration according to the load capacity chart, only this way will it
be able to fulfill its protective duty.
If the crane operator does not observe this safety obligation, then there is a great
danger that the crane overturns and is damaged beyond repair, despite a
functioning safe load indicator.
The safe load indicator cannot monitor and control all possible operating
conditions, this is still primarily the responsibility of the operator.

Leveling instruments
(Sight gauges)
In order to assure the safety while working with the crane, the crane must be horizontally aligned.

DANGER: If the crane is not aligned horizontally, there is an increased risk of accidents.

The air bubbles in the sight gauges on the left and right of the vehicle frame as well as in the crane operatorπs
cab (207) must always be within the inner rings..

The maximum permissible deviation from the horizontal line is ± 0.5% (± 0,3∞ ).
If the sight gauges have been damaged by external forces and become maladjusted, then they must be recali>
brated.
To do so, place a level on the slewing ring or as close as possible to the slewing ring onto the frame of the
vehicle, and align the crane horizontally in a longitudinal and lateral direction.
Then reset the sight gauges by adjusting the adjustment screws and secure them in this position with lock nuts.
During normal travel and crane operation, the adjustment of the sight gauges should remain unchanged.

In overload, the ™luffing™ crane movement is also turned off, even though it is a load reducing crane movement
with a freely suspended load.
If the button (271) "luffing at overload" is held down and the manual control lever (277) is moved in ∫luffing
up∫ direction, then this crane movement can be carried out.

DANGER: IT IS NOT PERMITTED to lift a load with the hoist gear, when it has already trigge>
red the load moment limiter and therefore shut off the crane movement, by ∫luffing
the boom ™ .
This could lead to overload and cause the crane to topple over.
The system may be bypassed in the limit range only if the LICCON safe load indica>
tor did not report an overload condition for a freely suspended load.
It is also prohibited to bypass the LICCON safe load indicator at a radius of more
than e3,5 m .

Contact switch * on the crane superstructure locking mechanism


In crane operation ∫only to the rear∫ the crane superstructure must be mechanically locked with the chassis.
The lever (261) must be positioned ∫downward∫.

CAUT ION: The indicator light (306) must be on.

Due to a contact switch, which is installed on the locking mechanism, the LICCON safe load indicator can be

Sliding arms monitor*


For detailed description refer to chapter 6.04 SLIDING ARM MONITOR.

The LICCON sliding arm monitor checks the data of the crane operator , who has set it according to the suppor>
ting width to select the load capacity chart on the LICCON panel** .

CAUTION : It does not monitor proper crane support and if the sliding arms are pinned proper>
ly on the intended positions.

Support force monitor*, Fig. 1


See also chapter 6.04 SLIDING ARM MONITOR.
The support force is monitored via the LICCON safe load indicator **.

During crane operation, he LICCON support force monitor constantly determines the support force in all 4 out>
rigger cylinders.
The maximum and minimum values , when the alarm is triggered have been entered at the factory, depending
on crane type.
In equipment configuration crane supported, these support forces are automatically shown, either on crane ope>
rator request or when a critical situation occurs.

CAUTION : Blinking question marks ( ??? ) instead of a value, with the error number !062/063 in
the ERROR symbol FK6 indicate an error in the corresponding pressure sensor or
in the connection.

1. Indication of current support force**


With function key F3, the symbol support force monitor , Fig. 1 is shown next to the crane symbol, the sup>
port force for every support is shown in tons [t] .
The symbol appears automatically, including the alarm signal ªSHORT HORN´, if a support has reached or
exceeded the maximum force or if it has reached or fallen below the minimum force. However, the crane mo>
vements are NOT shut off.
The value (s), which trigger the warning are shown blinking.

DANGER: The crane movements are NOT shut off if the permissible support force is being ex>
ceeded / fallen below. Under no circumstances may the LICCON support force mo>
nitor be used to utilize the crane to the tipping limit!
If this is not observed, it can result in a serious accident.

2. Programming maximum and minimum support forces**


The same maximum and minimum support force values for each support have been entered at the factory, de>
pending on crane type.
The operator can change these 5 values in the SUPPORT FORCE LIMIT VALUE MODIFICATION program,
depending on the situation at hand.

Limitation of slewing speed*, Fig. 2


To prevent that a slewing movement is carried out too quickly by mistake, the slewing speed must be limited
via the LICCON safe load indicator* in the CONTROL program.

> When starting the program via the program key B2, preprogrammed percentage values are listed under the
∫Vmax symbol∫ .

> Use function key F8 (or program key B2) to return to the CRANE OPERATING VIEW.

Locking the hoist gear*, Fig. 3


To prevent an inadvertent movement by mistakenly touching the manual control lever when operating the cra>
ne with only one cable winch, this cable winch can also be turned off via the !CONTROL program.
By pushing the F4 function key, the cursor arrow is brought to the symbol for the cable winch, which is to be
turned off, and it is being turned off by pushing the F5 function key.
The winch symbol view changes and the ™cable winch is crossed out".

Wind velocity warning device *, Fig. 1


The wind velocity warning device is integrated into the ∫LICCON∫ system . *
As soon as the max. permissible wind speed is exceeded, the symbol begins to blink and an acoustical signal
sounds ªSHORT HORN´ . However, the crane movements are NOT TURNED OFF.

DANGER: If the permissible wind speed is exceeded, the crane movements are NOT shut down
automatically. This is only a warning system!
YOU YOURSELF MUST cease crane operation and lower the boom.
If you do not adhere to this rule, the risk of causing a serious accident is
significantly increased.

CAUTION: When operating the crane with the folding jib, the removable wind sensor must
always be installed and properly connected and fully functional, otherwise the
∫LICCON∫ safe load indicator will indicate a malfunction.

* Refer to the separately issued LICCON Operation Manual for more details about the LICCON system.

Indication of direction of rotation of winch and hook path


Integrated into the LICCON system *
The rotation and hook path indicator on the screen shows if the winch spools in or out, even if the actual
movement of the hook block is hard to detect due to multiple reeving or due to slow speed.

CAUTION: When the cable is spooled in /out, keep watching the winch to make sure that there
is no excess loose cable spooling up on the winch (visually inspect the winch).
Loose cable can damage the winch cable.

Limit switch > winch spooled in / out


A cam limit switch is installed in the hoist winches and turns off the ™ down / lower ™ crane movement , if the>
re are at least 3 safety loops remaining on the drum.
This switch also stops the movement when the winch is full.

DANGER: If the hoist cable is spooled up during installation, make sure that the end of the ca>
ble still remains in front of the winch and is not spooled up over the winch, because
if the end of the cable is then pulled over the winch by another turn, the shut off
could no longer be guaranteed when the cable gets to the three safety loops.
In this case, the cam limit switch must be reset.
In addition, if the hoist cable is replaced with a new one, then the cam limit switch
must be reset, so it shuts off when it gets to the point when there are still three
safety loops on the drum.
If this point is not observed, the cable mount can be torn out, causing the load to
fall.

Hoist limit switch ª Hoist top´


The hoist limit switch monitors the distance of the hook block to the boom pulley head, it is installed to prevent
the hook block from hitting the boom pulley head.
It must be checked before every crane operation by running the hook block up to the top weight to check the
switch function.
The ∫hoist∫, ∫luffing down ∫ and ∫ telescoping out∫ crane movements must shut off if the switch is
functioning properly.

DANGER: The hoist limit switch may only be bypassed during crane operation with the keyed
button (D), if another person carefully observes the distance between the hook
block and the boom pulley head.
The observer must be in direct contact with the crane operator.
The hoist limit switch may not be used as a regular shut off system .
If this point is not observed, in case of malfunction, various crane components can
be severely damaged.
Bypassing the hoist limit switch is only permitted in an emergency by authorized
personnel only!

Pressure switch > Hoist gear 1 and hoist gear 2* "down" = 'CLEAR'
The pressure switch is installed to prevent a lowering movement of the hoist gear in case of a defective control
valve (for example: if the piston seizes in the spool). This can prevent the load falling down in case of a defective
control valve. One pressure switch is installed for each hoist gear.

Checking the function or the pressure switch:

1. Manual check
If the control valve is without pressure (i. e.: both manual control levers are in neutral position), a voltage of
24V must be on each pressure swicht. This can be measured with a suitable voltage meter.

2. Checking the function with the LICCON control and indicator unit:
The realease conditions for "hoist gear down"can be shown
> by checking system inputs of CPU 2 or
> via the 'Special view' ("i" key) and 'System special' (F4 key).
If the control valve is without pressure, the LICCON indicator unit must show the number "1" to indicate
that the hoist gear down movement is "clear". This means, that the pressure switch is functioning properly.

Note: If the pressure switch is defective, it must be replaced (refer to the spare parts manual).

DANGER: The pressure switch may not be bypassed manually! This is strictly prohibited!

High voltage warning device* HSW 40


The high voltage warning device* (327) monitors the safe distance between the crane boom and the high voltage
wires, if they are ( high ) alternating voltage.

CAUTION : This device is not suitable for overhead wiring for street cars.

DANGER: The warning device does not shut the crane movement off!

Safe crane operation is only assured if all adjustments are made, as described in chapter 4.08 ∫Working near
electrical overhead wires∫ .

A test box on the boom sends test values via a cable to the high voltage warning device in the crane operatorπs
cab.
The monitoring range is limited; for that reason, no warning can be given for wires outside the monitoring
range.

Note: Note also chapter 2.04 SAFETY TECHNICAL NOTES.

If the voltage in the overhead wires is known :


The appropriate voltage value must be set on the high voltage warning device.
If you fall within the minimum distance, the warning is given.

If the voltage in the overhead wires is unknown :


The high voltage warning device * must be adjusted.

of service .

In order to delete the error message, turn the crane engine off immediately and turn
the ignition off.
When you repeat the starting procedure properly, the error message ∫ERROR 13∫
will disappear.

If no error has been found, the EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION VIEW will appear on the monitor .
The last EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION VIEW, which was used to before you turned the crane off, will
always reappear.

Release the crane control


The crane control is released when the seat contact switch (262) is pushed down.

Note: In order to prevent any unintentional crane movement when entering or exiting the cab by
inadvertently moving the manual control lever (267, 277), the crane control is shut off by

Description
The telescopic section 1 is hydraulically extended and retracted individually, after preselection via the
operating mode switch (280), by actuating the manual control lever (267) .
The telescopic sections 2, 3 and 4 are mechanically extended the retracted synchronously, after preselection
via the operating mode switch(280), by actuating the manual control lever (267) .

Every extension condition has been assigned a 2 digit code number.


Take the code number from the current load capacity chart and enter it via the keyboard into the LICCON
control unit.
The telescoping procedure is shown optically on the ∫LICCON∫ monitor.
The current extension condition of the various telescopic sections is shown in percentages [%], the individual
values are separated by diagonal lines.

Note: Please also refer to the separately issued, more detailed ∫LICCON∫ operation manual!

CAUTION: The telescopic boom should normally be extended to the necessary length when it
is not loaded and should be loaded only after is has been extended.
However, it is possible to extend the boom under partial load.
This maximum permissible partial load capacity depends on the lubrication of the
bearing pads as well as on the length of the telescopic section, which is still
available for extension.
The maximum permissible partial load is limited by the pressure adjustment on the
pressure valve of the telescopic cylinder.

DANGER: When telescoping loads in and out, the equipment configuration, working radius
and instructions given on the load capacity charts MUST be adhered to!

> Move the manual control lever (267) to the right = to turn to the right
> Move the manual control lever (267) to the left = to turn to the left.

To slow down the slewing movement


The slewing movement is slowed down two ways:
> by countering with the manual control lever (267)
> or by pressing the foot pedal (202)

Note : Normally, the movement should be slowed by countering with the lever, as this can be done
much more sensitively.

CAUTION : When carrying loads with a large surface exposed to winds and if there is wind
blowing from the side, than it can happen that the slewing movement ªruns after´.
The same can happen when positioning loads exactly, if there is a side wind, the
load can ªrun to the side´.
To prevent this, slow down the slewing movement of the load via the pedal (203) and
hold it.

If it needs to be retained in a certain position for a longer period of time, then the slewing brake should be
applied via switch (272) .

In general, the following rule applies:

Longer boom
more load } slower speed

DANGER: When slewing with a load, initiate the slewing movement and / or braking
movement very carefully and very gently.
Jerky, irregular movements and braking the slewing movement too suddenly can
cause the load to swing.
A swinging load can cause the boom to break off and could cause the crane to
topple over.

Control of crane movement ªtelescoping´ the telescopic boom

Description
The telescopic section 1 is hydraulically extended and retracted individually, after preselection via the
operating mode switch (280), by actuating the manual control lever (277) .
The telescopic sections 2, 3 and 4 are mechanically extended the retracted synchronously, after preselection
via the operating mode switch(280), by actuating the manual control lever (277) .

Every extension condition has been assigned a 2 digit code number.


Take the code number from the current load capacity chart and enter it via the keyboard into the LICCON
control unit.
The telescoping procedure is shown optically on the ∫LICCON∫ monitor.
The current extension condition of the various telescopic sections is shown in percentages [%], the individual
values are separated by diagonal lines.

Note: Please also refer to the separately issued, more detailed ∫LICCON∫ operation manual!

CAUTION : The telescopic boom should normally be extended to the necessary length when it
is not loaded and should be loaded only after is has been extended.
However, it is possible to extend the boom under partial load.
This maximum permissible partial load capacity depends on the lubrication of the
bearing pads as well as on the length of the telescopic section, which is still
available for extension.
The maximum permissible partial load is limited by the pressure adjustment on the
pressure valve of the telescopic cylinder.

DANGER: When telescoping loads in and out, the equipment configuration, working radius
and instructions given on the load capacity charts MUST be adhered to!

Reeving an d unreeving the hook block

Reeving
Prerequisite:
> The crane is properly supported and horizontally aligned.
> The travel and crane is running, and
> an assistant is present to guide the cable.

Installation procedure:
> Place the required hook block under the pulley head of the telescopic boom.
> On the hook block (19), remove the spring retainers (2 x folding pins) on both sides of the cable retaining bar
(18) and pull out both cable retaining bars.
> On the pulley head, remove the spring retainer and pull out both cable retaining bars (14 and 15) and pull out
the 3 cable retainer bars.
> Guide the hoist cable over the telescopic boom to the pulley head.

Note: While the assistant guides the hoist cable to the pulley head, the crane operator must
operate the winch. This procedure must be done in such a manner, that the cable does not
slacken up on the cable drum.

DANGER: This work should be completed while standing on a secure base.


If it is unavoidable that the cable must be hand guided on the telescopic boom to the
pulley head, use utmost caution when walking on the telescopic boom.
There is a great danger of causing a serious accident if the crane function is not
operated properly and the person guiding the cable slips on the telescoping boom.

> Lay the hoist cable over the top cable pulley (13) and reeve the hoist cable between the pulley head and the
hook block as shown on the reeving plan for the appropriate load capacity chart.
> Reinsert the cable retaining bars (14 and 15 ) and secure them with spring retainers.

Fig. 1
> On the cable lock (1), pull the spring retainer (2) and remove the pin (3) ,
> depending on the reeving, bolt the cable lock either to the pulley head or to the hook block and secure with the
spring retainer.

Note : The pin must always be placed from the inside to the outside and secured from the outside,
to prevent the hoist cable from rubbing against the pin (3) or the spring retainer (2).

Fig. 2
> On the cable lock (1) , push in the retainer pin (6) , move the lever (4) ∫downward∫ and hold it in this position,
this causes the lock lever (5) to swing downward.

Safety technical guidelines for working with a load

Note: Refer also to the safety technical guidelines in chapter 2.04!

> Always maintain the maximum load as specified in the load capacity chart.
> Always maintain the working radius as specified in the load capacity chart.

DANGER: For steep boom positions, for which no load capacities are given on the load
capacity chart, there is the danger that the crane topples over to the rear, the
counterweight side, when the slewing platform is turned .

This danger is specially acute,


if the support base is reduced or
if the crane is supported, but with retracted sliding arms.

Operating the crane with a smaller working radius than specified on the load
capacity chart is not permitted.
This also applies if there is no load on the hook.
Doing so increases the risk of accidents!

> Always maintain the number of reevings corresponding to the maximum load capacity as specified in the
load capacity chart.

DANGER: If this rule is not observed, the cable could snap and cause a serious accident and
injury or death.

> Always initiate any crane movement and braking movement very slowly and carefully, to prevent the load
hanging on the hook from swinging.

> As soon as the lowest layer of a winch drum is reached, another person must make sure that there are always
at least three coils remaining on the winch drum.

DANGER: If this rule is not observed, it could cause a serious accident and injury or death.

> It is not permitted to use larger hook blocks than the size specified to hoist the maximum load as stated on
the load capacity chart. If this rule is not observed, the hook cannot be lowered to the ground, because the
hoist cable is too short.

298
4.08 WORKING WITH A LOAD 022958>00

Inspection
Before beginning any crane operation, the crane operator must carry out a thorough inspection to ensure the
operating safety of the crane once more.

> Is the crane properly supported and horizontally aligned?


> Are all applicable values from the load capacity chart entered and adjusted to reflect the current equipment
configuration?
> Is the danger range of the crane free of any persons and objects?

DANGER: Before beginning any slewing movements, the operator must always
> give an audible warning signal by pressing the horn.
> The crane operator must make sure, especially when working on tight
construction sites,
> that there are no persons or objects within the slewing range, in the rear area
behind the counterweight and close to the vehicle chassis.

There is always a risk of accidents!

Visual inspection for damage.


The crane operator must report any problems he found on the crane to his supervisor, the designated person in
charge, including to his relieve person or assistant.

DANGER: The crane operator must immediately stop crane operation if any malfunctions are
found or should occur, which could endanger the operational safety of the crane
operation, particularly the following:

> if there is any damage to the load carrying parts of the crane structure, such as
boom, outriggers, etc.
> any time the load slips due to hoist brake failure,
> any time there is a functional problem in the crane control,
> any time any of the indicator and/or warning lights are not functioning properly,
> if there is any damage to the hoist cable,
> if any of the safety devices are not functioning properly,
> if there is a leakage anywhere on the craneπs hydraulic system.

Working near overhead electrical wires


If there are any overhead electrical wires close to the job site, they must be disconnected by trained electricians.
If this is not possible, the danger zone must be covered or blocked off.

If these measures are not permitted or possible, the following safe distances must always be kept between the
crane / boom and any wires:

Minimum Minimum
Rated Voltage
distance in meters distance in feet

up to 1 kV 1 3

above 1 kV up to 110 kV 3 9

above 110 kV up to 220 kV 4 13

above 220 kV up to 380 kV 5 16

if rated voltage is 5 16
unknown

Note : If, despite all precautionary measures, a flashover occurs, proceed as follows:
> Keep calm,
> DO NOT leave the cab,
> Warn all those around the crane to remain standing where they are and not to touch the
crane,
> Move the crane from the danger zone.

DANGER: If this is not observed, serious injury or damage can occur!

High voltage warning device * HSW 40


The high voltage warning device monitors the safety distance between the boom and the overhead wires, as
long as they are high voltage (AC current) wires.

If the voltage in the wires is known :


Set the voltage value on the high voltage warning device.
As soon as a minimum distance is exceeded, a warning will sound.

If the voltage in the wires is unknown :

Taking on a load
The crane must always be operated in such a manner that the load bearing parts are not damaged and the
stability is guaranteed.

Pulling a load at an angle is prohibited!


The crane is designed to lift loads vertically.
Pulling at an angle causes horizontal stress in addition to the vertical stress, which the crane has been designed
to handle. It makes no differences if the load is pulled in direction of the boom or crosswise to it, the crane is
simply not designed to handle loads which are pulled at an angle.
Since forces are transferred via the hoist cable to the boom jib, they have a stress effect which is above the
permitted stress level for the height of the boom head pulley.

DANGER: DO NOT pull a load at an angle!


Pulling a load at an angle can damage the crane and cause it to topple over.

Pulling a stuck or jammed load free is prohibited!


NEVER pull stuck or jammed loads free by using the crane, this is strictly prohibited!

DANGER: DO NOT pull stuck or jammed loads free with the crane !
This can cause the crane to topple over.

Hoisting the load


When hoisting a load, utmost care must be taken.
It can be very dangerous, there is always the danger that a load may fall and any persons, which are close to the
area of the load to be hoisted, can be crushed.
If the hoisting tackle is manually placed on the load by another person, the crane operator must assure :

> that the hands of this persons placing the tackle are not crushed between the tackle and the load when the
cable tightens,
> that arms and legs are not crushed by a swinging load while hoisting it .

DANGER: If there are any persons in the area where the load is being hoisted, they are in
danger of being crushed! Utmost care must be taken.

At 1 to 3 sheave reeving, it is NOT permitted to add the rapid gear (269, 278), if the
crane is loaded with more than 50% of its maximum permissible load carrying
capacity at the corresponding reach.

It is strictly prohibited to lift a load by luffing the boom, after the LICCON safe load
indicator has shut off the system after an attempt was made to lift the load by the
hoist gear.
This would overload the crane and/or cause the crane to topple over.

Crane operation
A swinging load must always be kept under control.

Only a safe, sensitive control of the crane functions can guarantee this.
All crane movements must always be initiated and slowed down slowly to prevent the load from swinging.

DANGER: A swinging load can damage the crane or cause it to topple over.
It could cause a serious accident!

Tag lines
To aid the crane operator to accurately guide the load, we recommend to use tag or guiding lines.
This can prevent unintentional movement of the load and resulting damage.

Moving persons
This crane is NOT designed to move any personnel.
It is prohibited to move or let anybody ride along on the load being lifted.

DANGER: Moving or letting any persons ride along on the load or load tackle is strictly
PROHIBITED.
It could cause a serious accident.

Danger of being crushed


When lowering the load, utmost care must be taken.
It can be very dangerous, there is always the danger that persons, which are close to the area of the load to be
lowered, can be crushed.

DANGER: When lowering the load, no personnel or objects may be below the load!
It could cause a serious accident!

4.09 DRIVING WITH ATTACHMENT IN PLACE 023225>00

General Guidelines
The crane may be driven on level ground with a blocked axle suspension system and raised telescopic boom with
the attachment installed .

DANGER: When driving with the attachment in place, it is imperative that the values given
in the following charts and all guidelines are adhered to.
If this is not done, there is the danger of causing a serious accident, as the crane
can topple over.

Planning of the movement


When planning to move the crane to an another place on the site, it must be assured that the following measu>
res are taken after the crane operation and before placing the supports of the crane:

1. Before travel, the travel route must be checked to see if it is level throughout, and to assure that
there are no uneven areas.

D A N G E R: The travel route may not slope by more than 3∞, even within the permissible to>
lerance range of ± 0.10 m over 10 m!

2. Before supporting the crane, the vehicle must be aligned in horizontal direction via the manual leveling
control (buttom 142) until the indicator light (143) lights up.
Then the axle suspension must be changed from ∫suspended∫ to ∫locked∫ by actuating switch (154). These
measures are the prerequistes for the following driving with attachment.

Then support procedure must be carried out as described in chapter 3.05 THE CRANE AT THE JOB SITE

3. After crane operation


> Telescope in the telescopic boom completely.
> Turn the crane superstructure to the position given in the charts, either to the front or rear.
> Lock the crane superstructure to the crane chassis.
Turn the manual lever down, the indicator light !(306) must be on.
> Luff the telescopic boom or the telescopic boom with folding jib* to the angle given on the corresponding lo>
ad capacity chart.

DANGER: Before turning the superstructure, make sure the crane is properly supported
and horizontally aligned.
The sliding arms must be secured with pins.

Travel readiness > the engine runs at low idle RPM

Driving / shifting
To drive the crane from the crane operatorπs cab, 2 forward gears and 2 reverse gears are available.

CAUTION : Changing from neutral to reverse, reverse to forward or vice versa is only permitted
when the vehicle is at a standstill, the parking brake is applied and if the travel and
crane engine runs at low idle RPM!
After changing gears, wait for 1 to 2 seconds before giving gas.

The shift stages V1Æ V2 (forward), V2Æ V1 or R1Æ R2, R2Æ R1 (reverse) can be shifted under load.
The travel speed can be regulated via the gas pedal (200) and the gear selector switch (208) for the automatic
transmission.

Gear selection switch (208)


The various positions for the gear selector switch (208), their meaning and use are as follows:

N (Neutral)
Required shift position to start the travel motor (engine).

CAUTION : Do not let the vehicle run out in neutral (gear selector switch ∫N∫ ) , this eliminates
the engine braking action ,and the gear lubrication is insufficient.

V1
Creeper / inching gear, forward
The shift position is the same as the 1st gear in the driverπs cab
Use this gear if you must drive extremely slow.

V2

forward position.
Move the brake lever (263) back again, increase the engine RPM with the gas pedal
(200) to charge the brake circuit III.

C A U T I O N: Check the brakes immediately after the crane starts to move.

Keep an eye on the following important instruments while driving:


> Oil pressure (290)
> Coolant temperature (300)
> Combi warning light (301)
If warning light (301) lights up, then the crane must be brought to a standstill immediately and the warning
lights (54, 55, 72*) must be checked in the driverπs cab to see which one of the three lights is on.
Then the travel motor (engine) must be turned off.

CAUTION: If the warning lights (290, 300 or 301) light up during travel, then the crane must be
stopped immediately, and the engine must be turned off via the engine Stop button
(281).
Low engine oil pressure or high coolant temperature can cause serious engine da>
mage.
Low oil pressure and (or) high oil temperature in the circuit for the torque conver>
ter / automatic transmission can cause serious transmission damage.

> Add Diesel fuel as soon as warning light (289) lights up.

C A U T I O N: Do not let the fuel tank get completely empty, because contaminants in the fuel tank
can be drawn into the fuel system and it will become necessary to clean and bleed

CAUTION : Oscillation is only possible if the boom is positioned to the rear and the crane
superstructure is mechanically locked to the crane chassis, the indicator light
(306) must light up, the lever position!(261) must be positioned ∫downward ∫.

After entering the corresponding CODE No. into the LICCON system and after confirming the entry, the
1st and 2nd axle is automatically changed to ∫oscillation∫ , with axle suspension "LOCKED" , indicated
by symbol (Fig. 1), the 3rd axle remains "LOCKED."

As long as the crane is operated with the load chart in a safe operating range , the 1st and 2nd axle are
shifted to oscillation.
If you leave the safe operating area or switch to another load chart, the LICCON safe load indicator system
shifts automatically back to axle suspension "LOCKED" , indicated by the symbol !(Fig. 2).

Turn off added selections

CAUTION : Turn the transverse differential locks as well as front axle drive (s) off as soon
as the ground becomes harder and provides sufficient traction and they are no
longer required to drive.

4. Driving the crane with an attached load,


Working range ªonly to the rear´
The crane can be moved with an attached load ∫to the rear∫, if the notes in paragraph 1, 2 and 3 are
strictly observed.

In addition, the following applies:


4.1 The attached load must be carried as close as possible to the ground and must be secured to prevent it
from swinging.

4.2 Drive only :


> in 1st gear with added off road gear,
> with utmost case and in step by step speed.
> the least possible increase in speed and careful braking action.
> Avoid jerky travel movements.

4.3 The crane superstructure must be positioned to the rear, in lengthwise vehicle direction, and ist must
be mechanically locked to the chassis via locking lever (261).
The slewing brake must be applied.

5. There is a danger of tipping over or a danger of overload, if:

5.1 if the crane superstructure is not positioned in lengthwise travel direction to the rear.

5.2 if the boom is telescoped out to a length of more than 17.1 m and the crane superstructure is turned from
the lengthwise direction.

5.3 if the axle suspension is not blocked.

5.4 if the ground is not able to securely carry the maximum operating weight and the weight of the suspended
load.

5.5 if the ground is not level and without slope.

5.6 if you drive too quickly with a load or if you start out or slow down jerkily.

5.7 the outrigger cylinders with installed outrigger pads are not held close to the ground,

5.8 if you exceed or fall under the load values and/or radii values for the corresponding boom length, as noted
in the load capacity chart,

5.9 if insufficient distance is kept to ditches, pits and / or slopes,

5.10 the attached load starts to swing, due to improper control of crane movements ,

5.11 or if a load is being pulled at an angle. The most dangerous is pulling a load transverse to the lengthwise
direction of the boom . IT IS NOT PERMITTED to pull a load diagonally or at an angle.

4.12 TWO>HOOK OPERATIONS 021688>04

Description
In two>hook operations, a distinction must be made between

1. Operation with mast stub, for which no load capacity charts are available, and
2. Operation with boom extension (auxiliary boom, folding jib, luffing jib).

1. Operation with mast stub *


This operating mode makes quick lifts via the mast stub (hoist gear 2) possible; the reeved in hook block (hoist
gear 1) remains fully reeved on the telescopic boom.

The mast stub is generally operated in the (T) tele operation mode.

DANGER: The overload safety device ist only effective if the reeving on the telescopic boom is
the same or larger than the reeving on the mast stub. If this is not assured, the hoist
gear 1 or the hoist cable can be overloaded.
The LICCON safe load indicator system must be set to the smaller reeving of
both hooks.

> Set operating mode "T" on the LICCON safe load indicator system.
> Enter the cable reeving to reflect the actual reeving on the mast stub.

CAUTION: For crane operation with mast stub, be aware that the radius and load indicator of
the safe load indicator system is not exact, because the mast stub is not being
cosidered in the boom geometry.

The safe load indicator system must be set to the actual reeving on the mast stub
annd the corresponding CODE No. for the appropriate boom length must be
entered.

In addition, the counterweight, the support base, etc. must also be cosidered.

By setting the smaller reeving number of the two hooks, it is assured that the crane ist not overloaded.
Add the weight of the hook block (load hook) and the tackle to the weight of the load, which is to be lifted.

4.12 TWO>HOOK OPERATIONS 021688>04

2. Operations with the folding fly jib or with the auxiliary boom *

This capability is provided for turning the load while simultaneously operating both hoisting gears.

DANGER: The load must always be raised or lowered to 100% with the weakest component (fly
jib or auxiliary boom*).

> Enter the reeving in the LICCON in accordance with the reeving present (folding fly jib or auxiliary
boom*).

DANGER: The reeving on the main hook (telescopic boom) must be equal to or larger than the
reeving on the jib (folding fly jib or auxiliary boom *).
If this is not observed, hoisting gear 1 or the hoisting cable could be overloaded.

> For operations with the folding fly jib or the auxiliary boom *, the LICCON must be set to the operating
mode "Folding fly jib".

> Enter the cable reeving in the equipment mode diagram of the LICCON in accordance with the reeving
present on the jib.

In this case the maximum total load corresponds to the maximum permissible load on the folding fly jib given
in the corresponding load capacity table for jib operations.
The weight of the hook block and the slinging tackle must be added to the loads to be hoisted.

CAUTION: The radius display is given corresponding to the entered folding fly jib.

The individual loading capacity per hook during two> hook operations corresponds
to the permissible load given in the appropriate load capacity table for operations
with folding fly jib.

The sum loading capacity corresponds during two>hook operations to the


permissible load given in the appropriated load capacity table for operations with
folding fly jib.

DANGER: Hoisting a load with 2 hooks is only permissible in accordance with diagrams Va.1
and Va.2.
If this is not observed, there is a danger of accidents due to the overloading of the
individual crane components.
Protection via the overload safety device is then no longer provided.

If a load is hoisted in accordance with Va.1, the load must first be completely hoisted to 100% with the most
outer hook.

Note: As soon as the inner hook is drawn, the load display in the overload safety device is
incorrect!.

DANGER: If both hook are loaded, luffing the boom is prohibited!


Protection via the overload safety device is then no longer provided.
For this reason, the load must always be taken up at the maximum radius.

Notes on assembly:
> The hoisting cable must be reeved in between the pulley head and hook block in accordance with the
reeving plans in Chap. 4.06, for the respective load capacity table.
> The ballast must be mounted in accordance with the specifications in the load capacity tables.
> Combining and mounting the ballast must be carried out in accordance with Chap. 4.07.

DANGER: For assembly works on the crane, an operationally safe assembly scaffold / working
platform must be used > improvisations are prohibited. Otherwise, there is a danger
of falling.

Assembly / disassembly
If lattice sections are not touching the ground during assembly and / or disassembly, then they must be
supported from below with suitable, stable materials.

DANGER: Make sure that nobody is underneath the lattice jib, especially during when pinning
and unpinning the lattice sections. This is strictly prohibited!

Transport of lattice sections


If the lattice sections are pushed into each other for transport, then they must be secured with 2 chains each.

DANGER: If the lattice sections are not secured, there is a danger of causing a serious
accident, because the inner lattice sections may fall out.

Checking the safety measures

> Is axle suspension / axle floating locked?

> Is the load bearing capacity of the foundation sufficient?

> Are all four sliding arms and support cylinders extended to the support base as indicated in the load
capacity table?

> Are the sliding arms secured with pins?

> Are the support pads secured?

> Is the crane horizontally aligned?

> Is the crane at a safe distance from slopes and trenches?

> Are the axles relieved; i.e., no contact between the tires and the ground?

> Has it been absolutely established that there are not electrical wires and lines within the operating range of
the crane?

> Has the operating site been selected so that operations can be carried out with the smallest possible working
radius?

> Are there any obstacles which would block necessary crane movements?

351
5.01 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021689>03

Bypassing the safety devices with the assembly key>operated switch

Parts of the safety device equipment can be bypassed with the assembly key>operated switch. For certain
assembly procedures, this is necessary and permissible.

DANGER: Using the assembly key>operated switch during crane operations is prohibited.
Only those persons may use the key>operated switch who are fully familiar with the
entire operation of the crane and who are aware of the effects of bypassing the
system.
After all assembly work has been carried out, the key must be removed immediately
and handed over to an authorized person.
If the load torque limiter is bypassed during crane operations, there is the danger of
accidents.

Checking the cables

Before assembly and at regular intervals, the cables must be subjected to expert inspection in order to recognize
possible damage and signs of wear.

DANGER: The cables must be taken off the crane immediately if any of the following defects
are found:
> broken strand
> broken wires
> groups of broken wires
> cable diameter 10% or more narrower than the nominal value
> cable deformation

New cables must be of the same design, strength rating and diameter as the old ones.

DANGER: If the hoist cable is spooled up during installation, make sure that the end of the
cable still remains in front of the winch and is not spooled up over the winch,
because if the end of the cable is then pulled over the winch by another turn, the
shut off could no longer be guaranteed when the cable gets to the three safety loops.
In this case, the cam limit switch must be reset.
In addition, if the hoist cable is replaced with a new one, then the cam limit switch
must be reset, so it shuts off when it gets to the point when there are still three safety
loops on the drum.
If this point is not observed, the cable mount can be torn out, causing the load to
fall.

CAUTION: If the cable pulleys are rewound, they must be wound out or replaced before
replacing an old cable with a new one. Otherwise, the new cable can be damaged.

352
5.01 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021689>03

Connecting or removing hydraulic lines with quick>release couplings

DANGER: When connecting or removing hydraulic lines by means of the quick>couplers, it


must always be ensured that the coupling procedure is carried out properly.

Requirement for a correct coupling connection is:


> Before any connections are made or loosened,there must be no pressure in the entire pressure system.
(Bring engine to a standstill > wait 5 minutes)
> Assemble the coupler parts (socket and plug) and tighten with hand nut.
> Turn the hand nut until a noticeable, fixed stop is reached.
> The couplers must only be attached and detached by hands > do not use tools as this could damage the
couplers.

DANGER: Improperly connected couplers could lead to a loss of pressure or sudden leaks and
thus lead to an accident.

Raising / Lowering

Before raising or lowering a boom combination, the following requirements must be fulfilled:

Requirements:
> The crane is properly supported and horizontally aligned.
> The ballast is attached to the slewing platform in accordance with the load capacity table.
> The telescopic boom is completely retracted.
> The jib is assembled in accordance with the load capacity tables and instruction manual.
> All limit switches are correctly mounted and properly functioning.
> All pinned connections are secured.
> The hoist cable is properly placed in the cable pulleys and is secured with cable retaining pins against
jumping out.
> There are no loose parts on the telescopic boom or jib.
In winter:
> The telescopic boom and the jib and its components (limit switch, cable drum, aircraft warning light, wind
speed gauge, etc.) are free of snow and ice.

DANGER: Incorrectly mounted or nonfunctioning limit switches as well as falling parts (pins,
spring keepers, ice, etc.) are dangerous and can cause serious injury.

Installation procedure

DANGER: For the installation, a safe installation base (working platform) must be used, DO
NOT improvise!
There is a danger of falling down and causing a serious accident!.

Prerequisites for the installation of all folding jibs:


> The crane is properly supported and horizontally aligned,
> the counterweight is installed on the counterweight frame, according to the corresponding load capacity chart,
> the telescopic boom is fully telescoped in (retracted) ,
> the folding jib is mounted for transport on the telescopic boom pivot section ,
> the travel and crane engine is running.
> the telescopic boom is positioned to the rear or to the side, luffed down to 0∞ position,
angle indicator is at 0∞, see control and indicator unit of LICCON system.

DANGER: The telescopic boom must be in 0∞ position, otherwise there is a danger of causing a
serious accident because the folding jib might swing out by itself when the locks are
released!

If the folding jib is to be used for work for a longer period of time, then the hook block on the telescopic boom
should be unreeved and the hoist cable for winch 1 should be used when operating the folding jib .
This simplifies work with the folding jib, in addition, this will eliminate the load reduction for the reeved in
hook block on the telescopic boom .

If the hoist cable of winch 2* is used for work with the folding jib, then the hook block on the telescopic boom do>
es not have to be unreeved.

CAUTION : In this case, the load carrying capacities of the folding jib are reduced by the weight
of the reeved in hook block.

Unreeve the hoist cable on the telescopic boom head


> Wind up the hoist cable from hoist gear 2 * all the way onto the cable drum.

DANGER: This work must be done from a stable base.


Extreme caution must be exercised when walking on the telescopic boom.
There is a danger of causing a serious accident due to erroneous control of crane
functions and slipping on the telescopic boom.

> Lock hoist gear 2 via the LICCON system.


> Extend the telescopic boom to about 9.8 m (depending on the length of the folding jib in use) and place the
hook block on the ground,
> on the pulley head of the telescopic boom, release the hoist limit switch weight and the hoist cable on the lock
(cable fixed point).
> Remove the cable retainer bars on the pulley head of the telescopic boom and pull the hoist cable from the pla>
ced down hook block,
> Reinsert the cable retainer bars, secure them with spring clips and telescope the telescopic boom in all the
way.

6.01 HEATER / ENGINE PREHEAT SYSTEM* 023228>00

1. Heater > driverπs cab


The driverπs cab can be heated with two* separate heater systems.

1.1 Engine dependent heater system


The heat for the driverπs cab is supplied by the engine coolant, it can be regulated via the temperature
regulator (12) and used to heat the cab.
Via regulator (13) , you can chose between fresh air or air circulation.
The air distribution to the top or bottom can be preselected via the regulator (14) .
Via a 3$stage blower switch (15), the heated air flow can be regulated.
Both doors and the side windows must remain closed.

1.2 Engine independent WEBASTO added heater*


For detailed description of the WEBASTO added heater, refer to the manufacturerπs operation manual.

The engine independent heater is used to preheat the travel motor as well as to heat the driverπs cab
when the engine is not running, and as a auxiliary heating system in extremely low ambient
temperatures, when the engine dependent heater is not sufficient.

D A N G E R : The heater may not be operated in closed areas (such as garages or workshops),
that includes timer operation* or telestart*.
If this rule is not observed, there is a danger of poisoning and suffocation!

On gas stations and refueling stations, the heater must be turned off.
If this rule is not observed, there is a danger of EXPLOSION!

1.2.1 Added heater* used as heater when the travel motor is not running.
> Turn the blower switch (15) to stage 1, set the temperature regulator (12) to ∫WARM∫ and turn on
the added heater with switch (137) , the indicator light (81) lights up.
Use the sliding regulator (12) to regulate the amount of coolant and the blower switch (15) to regulate
the air flow.

1.2.2 Preheating the engine* with the WEBASTO added heater


In temperatures below $15 ∞C, the travel motor can be preheated with the added heater.

> Turn the cab heater to ∫COLD∫ with the sliding regulator (12) .
> With switch (137) , turn on the added heater, the indicator light (81) lights up.
Now the coolant fluid of the travel motor is being preheated via the added heater.
In low temperatures, this engine preheating process can take an hour or more.

1.2.3 To bleed the system

When draining the engine coolant fluid, the contents of the heating system must also be drained,
because the engine coolant system and heater system are part of the same single circuit.
When refilling the system, it must be bled carefully. This can be done quickly if the system is bled via

General
The LICCON sliding arm monitor checks the support width data entered by the crane operator to select the load
capacity chart on the LICCON panel.
However, it does NOT monitor if the crane is properly supported and if the sliding arms have been pinned
properly in their intended positions.

The support base for the LTM 1050/1


The LTM 1050/1 can be operated in 3 different support widths :

* wide 7.1 m

* reduced 4.5 m

* retracted 2.3 m

CAUTION: The support bases have no tolerances and the sliding arms must be pinned on these
support bases.

6.04 SLIDING ARM MONITOR 022961>00

Working with the sliding arm monitor


Preparation of the crane
When the crane is utilized on the job site, the sliding arms are to be extended to the planned width for the
application, they are to be pinned and supported according to the operation manual. Then the load capacity
chart, which corresponds to the desired working range, the utilized ballast and the support width of the crane,
must be set on the LICCON panel. If this load capacity chart corresponds to the support base the sliding arm
monitor recognizes, then the crane operator is shows the load capacity chart on the monitor, pushes the "OK"
button and the operating view appears, the crane is operational.

Function and error indication of sliding arm monitor when setting the load capacity chart
If the selected support base and the sliding arm length of all sliding arms do not match, and the operator pushes
the "OK" button, an error message will appear ( "ERROR 155" ) and the crane cannot be equipped according to
the preselected chart. In this case, the operator must either select a sliding arm length which matches the
chart or he must extend all four sliding arms to a length, which matches the preselected chart. It is not possible,
for example, to select a chart with a reduced base, if the supports are retracted; it is also not possible to select a
reduced or retracted support base chart if the crane is actually operated with a wide support base.

Function and error indication of sliding arm monitor during operation


If a valid load capacity chart has been set, and it was checked by the sliding arm monitor, then the crane can be
operated according to the appropriate guidelines in the operation manual and according to the load capacity
charts.

Monitoring the sliding arm lengths


Just as when setting the load capacity chart, the position of the sliding arms is constantly being checked during
crane operation, and it is constantly being compared with the entered load capacity chart. If any deviations are
found, the system will also report "ERROR 155" , the LICCON safe load indicator system reports overload and
the crane can only be operated by bypassing the LICCON safe load indicator system. In addition, the slewing
gear will be turned off when at standstill, and cannot be restarted if not in ∫installation∫ mode. The slewing
gear can also be shut off during rotation.

Monitoring the support forces


In addition to the sliding arm length, the support forces are monitored. The system constantly checks if their
sum exceeds a minimum crane weight without attachment. If this is not the case, the error message "ERROR
155" is shown, the LICCON safe load indicator system reports overload and the crane can only be operated by
bypassing the LICCON safe load indicator system. In addition, the slewing gear will be turned off when at
standstill, and cannot be restarted if not in ∫installation∫ mode. The slewing gear is not shut off during
rotation. The support force monitor has no influence on the load capacity chart adjustment in the configuration
program.

6.04 SLIDING ARM MONITOR 022961>00

Interpretation of extension condition by the sliding arm monitor


The sliding arm monitor measures the length of the various sliding arms and checks, if they are in the
preset,permissible intervals. If at least one sliding arm is not within such an interval, then the crane cannot be
equipped with a load capacity chart in the configuration program, as the crane must be supported and operated
with the proper sliding arm lengths.
If all sliding arms are extended to permissible, but different lengths, then that sliding arm, which shows the
smallest value, is taken as the basis for selecting the load capacity chart. The numbering sequence corresponds
to the sequence of support bases, as they are shown in the configuration program, when one pushes the F5
button several times.
As an example, the illustration on the opposite page shows in which extension condition which support is
permitted when selecting the load capacity chart. The last case shows a situation, where a sliding arm is
between two permissible extension conditions.

Error procedure
It must always be differentiated between an operational error by the crane operator and a problem due to a total
sensor failure or an erroneous sensor function.
If a sensor fails completely, then the monitor recognizes a length for this sliding arm, which corresponds to the
retracted condition. Automatically only a chart with retracted supports can be selected. However, as a result, it
is possible that no chart can be selected because in this operating mode, for example "TK" operation, the crane
cannot even be operated with retracted supports.
If a sensor does send a signal, which is within the permissible test range, but it is wrong, then the incorrect
sensor value can be deducted, and the retracted condition will be simulated. An incorrect length value can also
be given if the length sensor cable of a sliding arm is twisted up in the sliding arm box.

C A U T I O N: If a sensor fails completely or the retracted condition is simulated, it must be


assured that no sliding arm is between two pinable positions, because this could
cause a dangerous situation even for load capacities for retracted conditions.
The sliding arms must always be pinned.

Cleaning and upkeep of crane

The areas covered with sound absorbing mats may only be cleand with a non>flammable cleaning fluid. It may
not be corrosive or chemically agressive.

Do not use steam to clean the sound absorbing mats!

DANGER: If sound absorbing mats are contaminated with oil and / or fuel, then they must be
removed, because they have become flammable and are no longer flame retardent!

Wash the crane with water.

Note: If a steam cleaner / power washer is used, keep a distance of at least 80 cm (2' 7'' ) from paint
and decals.

After washing the crane, especially with steam, lubricate the crane (drive shaft, slewing connections).

The steering wheel, center console, control panel cover, floor covering and dirty upholstery in the driver's and
crane operator's cab should be cleaned with warm water mixed with dish detergent.

Do not use scouring pads!

Check oil level and filters on travel and crane engine


To check the oil level in the engine, the crane must be in horizontal position.
Turn the engine off and wait until the oil has drained into the oil pan.

CAUTION : For all maintenance work, make sure you assure utmost cleanliness, so no dirt or
contaminants enter the internal engine areas.

Check the engine oil level (fig. 1)


The oil must be between the minimum and maximum ( MINI and MAXI ) mark on the dipstick.

CAUTION : If the oil level has dropped below the minimum mark, you must add engine oil as
specified on the lubrication chart until the oil level is again between the minimum
and maximum mark.
If no oil is added, the engine can be severely damaged.

Reinsert the dipstick after checking the oil, pushing it in tightly.

Check engine air filter on the travel and crane engine


The air filters are electronically monitored.
If a vacuum is created in the air intake line due to contaminated filter elements, the corresponding warning
light (52) on the instrument panel in the driverπs cab will light up.
In that case, clean or replace the filter elements.

Note: All maintenance on the engine and air filter must be completed as noted in the separate
engine manual .

When performing maintenance and repairs in the engine area, observe the following::
Never step on the fuel lines.
When changing the filter, especially on the V>area of the engine,spread out a layer of absorbent material before
loosing the filter to absorb any fuel which might drain out.

DANGER: You must make sure that no Diesel fuel is spilled in the engine area and it remains
free of Diesel fuel, otherwise there is a risk of causing a

FIRE!

When you change the filters and bleed the system, you must assure utmost
cleanliness. Any fuel spills must be dried up. Dispose of the absorbent material
properly.

Note : When changing filters or when working on the fuel system in the V>area of the engine, we
recommend to support the crane from the rear so there is a slight drop towards the front.
Any fuel spill can then flow toward the front away from the V>area.

> with the crane standing in horizontal position
> with the gear in neutral position ∫N∫
> with the engine running at approximately 1000 RPM.

> Turn the dipstick in counterclockwise direction to loosen it and pull it out.
> Wipe off the dipstick, reinsert it and pull it out again.

Note: If the oil is cold, it must be between the MIN and MAX mark for cold oil, or if the oil is at
80!∞C, the oil must be between the MIN and MAX mark for warm oil on the dipstick.

CAUTION: If the oil level is below the minimum mark for the temperature, oil must be added
according to the lubrication chart, until the oil level is again between the MIN and
MAX mark.
If no oil is added, the transmission can be severely damaged.

> Reinsert the dipstick and turn it in clockwise direction to tighten.

To change the oil


> When the gear is at operating temperature, the engine is turned off and the crane is in level position, remove
the drain plug (magnetic plug with seal ring) and drain the old oil into an appropriate container.

> Change the oil filter.

N o t e: All maintenance must be done according to the separate gear operation manual issued by
the manufacturer.

> Add oil as specified on the lubrication chart.


> Clean the magnetic plug and sealing surface on the housing, reinsert he magnetic plug with new seal ring and
tighten it by hand.
> Start the engine, let it run at low idle .
> Move the gear to neutral position ∫N∫ ,

Check the oil level on the hydraulic tank (Fig. 5) for:


Steering and fan drive ,
Support and axle suspension hydraulic,
Crane hydraulic

> With the crane in horizontal position, the oil level must be in the center of the sight gauge.
If no oil is visible in the sight gauge, add oil as specified on the lubrication chart, until the oil level is in the
center of the sight gauge.

CAUTION: When checking the oil,


the luffing and telescoping cylinders, the outrigger cylinders as well as the sliding
arms must be retracted and the vehicle must be brought down to the lowest axle
suspension level.
If you would check the oil with the outrigger cylinders extended and with the
vehicle at a high axle suspension level, you would run the risk of adding too much
oil and overfilling the system.
Do not retract the cylinders too quickly, this can cause damage to the oil tank.

D A N G E R: If the oil level has dropped below the minimum mark, oil must be added as specified
on the lubrication chart.
If the oil level is too low, the hydraulic pumps can be damaged, which increases the
risk of causing an accident, due to steering inability.
In addition, the outrigger cylinders cannot be fully extended and the vehicle cannot
be leveled.

Air intake and bleeder filter (Fig. 6)


> Turn the engine off.
> Open the turn cap and check the filter visually for contamination.
If the filter is very dirty, it must be replaced.
> Close the turn cap again.
> Start the travel and crane engine,
> slowly run through all crane movements,
> then recheck the oil level and add more oil, if necessary.

Check the return filter in the crane hydraulic system (Fig. 7)

The ∫rear∫ return filter is equipped with a maintenance indicator * .


If the red bar is visible when the oil is at operating temperature (check once a week), then both filter inserts
must be replaced.
Flush out the filter housing before inserting the new filter elements.

Axle suspension/Axle locking system


The pretension pressure in the diaphragm reservoirs of the axle suspension system must be 45 bar .

CAUTION: If ambient temperatures fluctuate, for example in countries with extremely warm
or cold temperatures as well as in countries with great differences between summer
and winter temperatures, the pretension pressures must be checked and corrected,
if necessary.
If the pretension pressure is too low, the diaphragms can be overstressed and
damaged.
If the pretension pressure is too high, the spring action in the axle suspension
system is no longer assured, which can cause damage to the travel gear.

The pretension pressure in each of the reservoirs must be checked individually, as follows**:

> Move the switch (154) to axle suspension ∫suspended∫ .


> Push button (146, 147, 150, 150) ªon front´ , until the oil has drained from the diaphragm reservoirs.
> Check the pretension pressure with a testing and inflation device and correct the pressure, if necessary.

DANGER: To fill the reservoirs, DO NOT use a i r or o x y g e n . This can cause an

EXPLOSION!

The pressure in the nitrogen cylinder may not exceed the maximum permissible
operating pressure of the reservoir or the pressure gauge. If the pressure is higher,
a pressure reducing device must be connected between the cylinder and the
inflating device.

After the test**:


> Press button (142) "LEVEL" , until the indicator light (143) lights up.
The vehicle is automatically raised via the axle suspension cylinders to the required height for on road travel.

Tires

DANGER: The risk of having an accident is greatly increased if you drive the vehicle and
there is any tire damage, if the tires are worn and the treads are too low, and if the
air pressure in the individual tires differs.

> Check the tires (including the spare tire) for damage.
The depth of the tire treads (including the spare tire) may not fall below the legal limit.

> The tire pressure, including the spare tire, must be correspond to the recommended pressure given for the
particular tires, which are installed on your vehicle.
Tire pressure refer to chapter 1.3, TECHNICAL DATA
The tire pressure must be checked when the tires are cold.

> Before adding air to the tires, make sure that the tire is seated properly on the rims and the end ring is seated
properly.

CAUTION: The highest permissible air pressure may not be exceeded!

DANGER: Before adding air to the tires on the vehicle, make sure that there are no other
persons within the danger zone. They could be hit by flying parts!

Wheel alignment
The wheel alignment must be checked in regular intervals.
If this is not done, the tires will wear prematurely.
Recheck the wheels if the tires had been subjected to greater than normal stress, for example, if they hit the
curb.

Note: The wheel alignment can only be checked by qualified and especially trained personnel.

To change a wheel
> Loosen the wheel hubs on the defective wheel and carefully support the crane.
Refer to chapter 3.05 THE CRANE AT THE JOBSITE.
> Use the crane to lift off the spare tire, set it next to the defective wheel and secure it from rolling off or tipping
over.

Note: Never lay tires down on their side, it is very difficult to raise them again.

> Remove the wheel lugs and replace the defective wheel with the spare, reinstall the wheel lugs and tighten
them in crosswise fashion.

CAUTION: Do not overtighten the wheel lugs!


The maximum permissible tightening torque is 600 Nm.
After the first 50 and 100 kilometers, recheck the wheel lugs for tightness.

Safety and maintenance guidelines for the wheels (rims)


The below listed safety and maintenance guidelines are recommendations made by the manufacturer, in order
to prevent any safety risks due to damaged wheels or rims.
In addition, the manufacturer states that the manufacturerπs warranty is only valid if the guidelines noted
below have been strictly observed and followed.

The wheel is one of the most important safety components of the vehicle. For this reasons, it is imperative that
the following guidelines are followed. When changing the tires, the wheels must be checked, the rim as well as
the complete dish, as follows:
> formation of excessive rust or corrosion
> bent rim flanges
> cracks in the rim
> cracks in the wheel dish
> damage on the side and lock rings
> damage to the lug nuts or bolts
> worn or damaged bolt holes
> rim components must match and fit.

If any damaged rim components are found, they must be replaced immediately with new components.
If chipped paint or minor rust is found, the rust layer should be removed and the area should be repaired with
commercially available paint. You must make sure that the surface is smooth, especially on the tire seating
surface.

DANGER: NEVER perform or allow any welding on the wheel rim or wheel dish. It is strictly
prohibited to repair deformed or worn bolt holes or to replace or repair the wheel
center .
Any wheels with these defects must be scrapped immediately and replaced with
new wheels.
Any repair to these highly stressed parts of the wheel causes structural changes in
the material, which can lead to sudden fractures.

7.04 MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR THE CRANE VEHICLE 023230>01

Electrical System > Lighting System


The maintenance of the electrical system is basically limited to changing defective fuses and bulbs and to
battery maintenance.

CAUTION: Always replace defective fuses with fuses ob the same amperage. Never use a
different size or stronger fuse, than the original fuse. This could cause an electrical
fire! NEVER repair or short circuit a fuse. This could severely damage the entire
electrical system.

The batteries must be kept clean and dry.


The bleeder bore holes in the battery plugs must be clear and unobstructed.
Disconnect dirty battery terminals, clean them and apply acid free and acid resistant grease.
Make sure no oil or grease gets on the battery sealing compound.

CAUTION: DO NOT place any tools on the batteries and keep sparks and open flames at a great
distance away from the battery.
Never disconnect the batteries with the engine running, as this could destroy the
alternator.

The electrolyte level in the batteries must be checked once a month, in the summer and in warm climates it
must be checked at least once a week.
The battery acid (electrolyte) level must be checked at at approximately 15 mm (5/8∫) above the top edge of the
plates. Add distilled water, if necessary.

CAUTION: Do not use a metal funnel to add distilled water.

The vent holes in the cell plugs must always be kept clear.

If distilled water has been added, wait 1/2 hour and then check the specific gravity of the battery acid.
For this test, the temperature should be as close as possible to +20 ∞C (68∞ F) .

Specific gravity
Condition of battery charge
[kg/dm3]
1.28 well charged
1.20 half charged,recharge
1.12 dead, recharge immediately

The battery must be especially well charged before and during the cold season, since the electrical power
consumption increases as the battery performance decreases.

CAUTION: If the batteries must be recharged, use DC current only, the current may never be
higher than 1/10th of the battery capacity.

Example: To recharge a 143 Amp battery, the charging current may not be higher than 14,3 Amps.

CAUTION: When working on the electrical system of the crane, and any time any welding must
be done on any part of the crane, the battery MUST be disconnected from the
electrical circuit by turning the battery master switch off.

Central lubrication system (fig. 1)


The crane superstructure is equipped with a central lubrication system. It is permissible to clean the crane with
water or steam.
All grease points of the slewing gear, the bearing of the pivot section, the bearings of the luffing cylinder and
hoist winches are automatically supplied with the proper amount of grease according to the operating hours.
The lubrication procedure takes two minutes, every two hours.

CAUTION: The lubrication interval must be set to 2.0 hours.


If the crane is not being operated for longer than 3 months, then it must be
lubricated every 3 month with an external grease pump on the grease fitting
block!(3), until grease emerges from all lube points.
Then repeat the corresponding crane movement several times and repeat the
lubrication procedure.

Membrane accumulator in the hydraulic system

The following membrane accumulators are installed in the hydraulic system:


> Control pressure on basic block 10 bar
> Ballasting system (2 accumulators) each 40 bar

It is important that the pretension pressure given in the hydraulic schematic and on the accumulators is
available.
The pretension pressure must be measured in every reservoir.

CAUTION : If ambient temperatures fluctuate , for example in countries with extremely warm
or cold temperatures as well as in countries with great differences between summer
and winter temperatures, the gas pressures must be checked and corrected, if
necessary.

Check pretension pressure


Prerequisite:
> The crane hydraulic (or travel and crane engine) is not running, which relieves the fluid side of the membrane
accumulators ( reservoirs) .
> Check the pretension pressure with a testing and inflation device and correct the pressure, if necessary.

DANGER: To fill the reservoirs, DO NOT use a i r or o x y g e n. This can cause an

EXPLOSION !

The pressure in the nitrogen cylinder may not exceed the maximum permissible
operating pressure of the reservoir or the pressure gauge. If the pressure is higher,
a pressure reducing device must be connected between the cylinder and the
inflating device.

Note: In addition, you must observe any applicable national or local regulations !

Telescopic boom
The inner sliding surfaces of the telescopic sections are lubricated via grease fittings in the bearing shoes (3).
These grease fittings are accessible via inspection ports on both sides of the pivot section as well as the
telescopic sections, if the telescopic sections are moved out to 60% or 90% .
For the inner and outer sliding surfaces on the telescopic sections, use special grease, as specified on the
lubrication chart.

Telescoping cables
The telescopic sections — and “are extended and retracted individually with one hydraulic cylinder each.
The telescopic sections ” and ‘ are extended and retracted simultaneously when telescoping telescopic
section “ via a cable mechanism.

Push out telescopic sections ” and ‘ via two 5way flat band ropes (telescoping cables),
Retract telescopic sections ” and ‘ via two 2way flat band ropes (return cables).

The telescoping and return cables can be monitored without disassembling the boom via several inspection
ports on both sides of the telescopic sections .

CAUTION: If a new cable must be added, then it must be the same make and strength and the
same diameter than the original.

The telescopic cables (flat band ropes) must be replaced as a pair.

Maintenance
In addition, the telescopic boom should be dismantled after an operating period of 20 000 hrs. or 10 years to
check all bearings, telescopic and return cables, cable pulleys and telescoping cylinders.
The telescopic sections are held at pretension by the return cables.
If this pretension has been lost due to permanent stretching of the cables, then the return cables must be
retensioned.

To retension the return cables


Telescope telescopic sections “, ” and ‘ about 1 m out and retension the return cables evenly on both sides
with adjustment nuts (1) until the return cables are tensioned properly on both sides.
Check visually through the side inspection ports on the telescopic sections.
The return cables should not hang more than 10 cm over their total length.

C A UT I O N : 1. When tightening the nuts (1) make sure that the return cables are not twisted.
2. After every retension procedure, check if the telescopic sections “,!”!and!‘are
pushed in synchronously.

To check synchronization
Carefully telescope telescopic sections “, ” and ‘in, the stop of telescopic section “ must first touch.
If this is not the case, then the stop of telescopic section “ must be thickened by adding or welding on a plate or
the stop of telescopic section ” must be reduced by grinding it off to suit.

Take down criteria for belt cables in telescopic booms


To ensure crane safety, with proper use, regular inspection and maintenance of the crane, the belt cables (3),
which are utilized according to drive gear group 1Bm and are used in normal industrial applications, must be
replaced after 16 years of operation or 1600 operating hours, even if no damage is visible.

Belt cables (3) must be replaced:

1. Discard due to broken wires


See chapter 8.04 INSPECTION OF CRANE CABLES

2. Cable sag
If the maximum sag of a cable exceeds that of the other cables by 2 x the nominal diameter.

3. Sleeve
If there is any damage, corrosion or deformation on the sleeve.

4. Settling of cone (2) in sleeve (1)


During the crane operating time, the tapered cones in the sleeves (1) may settle. This is called 'settling of the
cone' (2).

The settling of the cone (2) is influenced by the following factors:


> dynamic changes of casting volume during cool down period
> roughness of casting surface in the cable fitting
> stress which occurs during cable pull

The settling of the cone can be determined by:


> measuring the settling

Number of cable strands in Max. permissible cone settling (L max.) when cable
casting must be discarded

3>5 4 mm

> Imbedding of cable in casting material.

The cable is proper imbedded if the cable strands are covered all around with casting material. If there are any
points or areas where this is not the case, then the cable (3) must be changed.

Slewing platform ballast (added weight, replacement weight)

After the first 1000 kilometers of driving, check the mounting screws on the slewing platform ballast!Pos.!1
and 2!or!Pos.!1 on the counterweight frame, to make sure they are tight.
Check for mounting tightness every 10 000 km or every 400 operating hours, however at least once a year.

DANGER: If this is not assured, the tight seating of the slewing platform ballast
(counterweight) is no longer assured.
Due to oscillating movements during travel, the screws can be fatigued sufficiently
to cause them to break, which could cause the slewing platform counterweight to
fall down.

8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>06

General
This crane has been inspected before delivery at the factory, according to the valid ISO, FEM and DIN
standards or VBG 9 (ZH 1/27).

During crane operation, deviation may occur from the safety standard, which had existed at initial delivery.
Such deviations can be the result of wear, corrosion, intentional force, environmental changes or application
changes.
The operator must take care of the required tasks to maintain the same initial standard of safety at all times.
For that reason, the crane must be inspected by an experienced technician, depending on conditions of
application and operational conditions, at least once a year, counting from the day of initial service. See also:
ISO 9927>1, EU machine guidelines (EWG Maschinenrichtlinie) 89/655, VBG 9.
The crane must be inspected by an expert engineer at least once every 4 years, counting from the day of initial
service .
After the 12th year in operation, an expert engineer must check the crane annually.

CAUTION : If significant changes had been made on the crane, or after repairs of load carrying
part , the operator must have the crane inspected by an experienced technician
before putting the crane back in service.

In addition, national and regional regulations apply.

Experienced technicians are persons who, due to their vocational background and experience, have sufficient
knowledge in the field of lifting appliances (cranes) and are sufficiently familiar with the relevant regulations,
such as labor laws, OSHA regulations, accident preventions regulations, to determine deviations from the
proper and safe conditions (they are specially trained personnel).

Expert engineers are engineers experienced in the design, construction and maintenance of lifting devices, such
as cranes, with sufficient knowledge of the relevant regulations and standards, who have equipment necessary
to carry out the inspection and are in a position to judge the safe condition of the lifting appliance (crane) and to
decide which measures have to be taken in order to ensure further and continued safe operation.

A repeat crane inspection is generally a visual inspection, where the experienced technician / expert engineer
inspects the condition of the crane and components. .
This inspection should prevent accidents through timely recognition of defects.
Any defects found by an experienced technician / expert engineer must be documents, remedied and
reinspected.

Below, as an example, we have listed certain important items, which must be checked especially during repeat
crane inspections. We note that the experienced technicians / expert engineers are solely responsible for
carrying out the crane inspection. For that reason, we cannot list the complete range of inspections in this
chapter.
Attached is a checklist for the inspector for repeat inspections of LIEBHERR mobile and crawler cranes.

If the inspector has any questions, they should be directed via our Service Dept. to the appropriate departments
at LIEBHERR>WERK EHINGEN GMBH.

DANGER: Non>observance of the following inspection guidelines or non>adherance of the


inspection intervals can lead to a serious accident !

8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>06

1. Inspection of load bearing / load carrying steel constructions

The load bearing steel constructions, such as boom , slewing platform, chassis, support systems (sliding
arms or folding supports) must be part of a careful inspection at least once a year. Even though the
welding seams normally are not in high stress areas, it is nevertheless important to pay special
attention to them during this repeat inspection.

We refer to DIN 15018, part 3, point 1, which lists permissible stress figures for highly resilient steel.
They also determine the life expectancy of the steel frame work. It cannot only be calculated from the
stress figures alone, but also depends on the collective load figures during time of operation.
LIEBHERR cranes are designed and sized for installation operation, whereby the following design
calculations have been used as a basis (DIN 15018, part 3):
Load collective : SO (light)
Stress figure: 25 000
For that reason, the load bearing or load carrying parts of the steel construction and the welding seams
must be subjected to an especially intensive check during the repeat inspection by an expert engineer.

If the crane was subjected to excessive stress, for example an unusual shock or impact during its time in
operation , the inspection of load baring components must be carried out immediately.

If any damage, such as cracks, can be found at any point of the steel construction, then the extend of
damage must be determined by expert personnel with the aid of material analysis methods, such as
magnetic powder test, ultra sound or X>ray tests. Then it must be determined by expert personnel if the
defective section can be repaired by repair welding or by other means.

The following drawings show examples of load bearing welding constructions. For example, welding
seams which need to be checked can occur in multiple areas on the steel components and in a variety of
shapes. The connections or zones around the points marked by arrows must be checked.

CAUTION : We note that all crane inspections, as far as content and extend, are the sole
responsibility of the inspector. The following drawings are given only as an
aid for the inspector. The drawings are only examples, and we do not claim
that they are complete!

1.1 Check the rims

The wheel and the rim are one of the most important safety>related items on the vehicle. The rim is
designed as a welded steel construction, and must be checked as outlined in paragraph 1. ™Checking
load carrying steel constructions∫.
In addition, chapter 7.04 ™MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS $ CRANE CHASSIS∫, paragraph ™Safety
and maintenance guidelines for rims∫.

In addition, at least once a year during the annual crane inspection, the rims should be checked for
cracks. We recommend a color penetration procedure. If any cracks or even the beginning of crack
formation is shown, then the rims must be replaced immediately.

After a service time of max. 40 000 km, irregardless of the actual driven load collective, the operator
must monitor the rims constantly.
The rims should be checked especially for cracks in the base material and in the areas marked by
arrows.

2. Inspection of hoist and pull in winches

The hoist and pull in winches and slewing gears are closed planetary gear versions. These gears have
been designed for long service life, drive shafts and gear wheels are also long lasting.

Even though these gears have been designed for long service life, an external visual inspection is not
sufficient in this case, because the service life can be influenced by insufficient maintenance (lack of
oil), defective seals, improper operation or overuse. For that reason, the inspection must be made by
experienced technicians according to the following guidelines:

563
8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>06

2.1 Inspections

2.1.1 Inspection intervals


Every 1000 operating hours, at least once a year (annually)

2.1.2 Inspection
Check oil level. On hoist and pull in winches, we recommend to drain the oil and compare the amount
with the stipulated oil quantity.

2.1.3 Check color of oil


If the oil is blackened and / or if the oil smells burnt, one can assume that the oil has been overheated. In
that case, the oil must be changed.

2.1.4 Check for foreign particles


This test should be done in a qualified lab. The used oil is dropped onto specified filter paper. The oil
sample is visually checked under a microscope for foreign particles. If any are found, then the oil must
be analyzed by a qualified lab to determine the make up of the particles.

2.1.5 Evaluation of foreign particles found in oil


Maximum permissible foreign particle parts are 0.15% of the total oil quantity, by weight.
Maximum permissible foreign particle size from fine shavings to 0.25 my.
If the above values have been exceeded, remove the gear and check out the cause of increased
contamination. Replace any damaged parts and fill the gear with new oil.

CAUTION: These repairs may only be made by expertly trained personnel.

2.1.6 Visual inspection


The gears must be checked for leaks, since any loss of oil > aside from environmental contamination >
can also lead to gear failure.

2.1.7 Check brakes in gears


Check the brakes at the same time you check the gears.
If the brakes should not hold the required test load of +33% cable pull increase on single line and fully
coiled drum, then they must be removed and the cause must be found. If the planetary gear is removed
due to increased oil contamination, check the brakes at the same time.

CAUTION: Only expertly trained personnel may inspect gears and brakes!

2.1.8 Document completed inspection


The result of annual inspections and repair / reconditioning work, including all completed tasks, must
be recorded by the expert or the trained service technician, if necessary, and signed off by the inspection
station or specialty shop.
This documentation must be enclosed in the crane inspection booklet and must be recorded in the repeat
inspection column.

564
8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>06

2.2 Required measures to monitor the winches

2.2.1. Theoretical service life


When calculating and dimensioning the winches for your crane, the designer took certain operating
conditions and a calculated total service life time into account, which resulted in a theoretical service
life.

The winches in your crane are classified according to DIN report 1, ISO 4301/1 or FEM 9.511, as follows:
Drive group: M3 (1 Bm)
Load collective: Q1 (L1)
Factor of load collective km: 0.125
Theoretical service life D: 3200 hrs.

CAUTION: The "theoretical service life" may not be equated with the real (actual)
service life of a winch!

The real service life for a winch is influenced by many external matters, such as :
1. Overloads: because the crane was not utilized as intended

2. Insufficient maintenance: oil has not been changed at the proper intervals

3. Erroneous operation : extreme acceleration or deceleration of the load


Load fell into the cables

4. Maintenance errors: Use of wrong oil


Wrong quantity
Contamination during oil change

5. Installation errors during repair or maintenance

6. Leakages which were not taken care of

7. Improperly adjusted safety devices

8. Hidden accident damage

9. Extreme ambient conditions: Low or high temperatures


aggressive atmosphere
Dust and dirt

8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>06

2.2.2 Used portion of theoretical service life


The crane operator is obligated to have the crane inspected at least once a year (ISO 9927>1 and VBG 8).

The used portion of the theoretical service life must also be determined. If necessary,the crane operator
must call in an expert.

When determining the used portion of the theoretical service life, the actual operating conditions (load
collective) and the operating hours of hoist gears per inspection interval must be determined. The user
is responsible to have it documented in the crane inspection booklet.

2.2.2.1 Determining the operating conditions (Load collective)


The load collective of the crane is divided into groups; see also DIN report 1, ISO!4301/1 or FEM 9.511.

From the determination of the actual operating conditions, choose one of the following load collectives
and enter them in the crane inspection book for the corresponding inspection interval.

Note: For mobile cranes in assembly operation, we normally use the load collective L1
(Q1), with the load collective factor km = 0.125.

2.2.2.2 Determining the effective operating hours Ti


The effective operating hours, as determined as follows, must be entered in the crane inspection
booklet for the corresponding inspection interval, differentiated by the following 4 points:

2.2.2.2.1 Hour meter is on every winch


If your crane is equipped with an hour meter on every winch, then the effective umber of operating
hours Ti per inspection interval can be read directly.

2.2.2.2.2 Hour meter for the total crane operation


The winch operation portion of the total operating hours of the superstructure must be guessed.

Note: For mobile cranes in assembly operation, normally, when hoist winches are used,
20% of the total superstructure operating hours can be contributed to winch
operation.

2.2.2.2.3 Hour meter for both travel and crane operation


The winch operation portion of the total operating hours of the superstructure must be guessed.

Note: For mobile cranes in assembly operation, normally, 60% of the total operating
hours can be contributed to superstructure operation. If 20% of the total
superstructure operating hours can be contributed to winch operation (see
paragraph 2.2.2.2.2), the result would be 12% of the total crane operating hours.

2.2.2.2.4 If there is no hour meter at all


In this case, the operator must guess and document the actual winch operating hours .

Note: The given percentage values apply normally for the main hoist winch. For
auxiliary hoist winches or adjustable boom winches, the actual share of total
operating hours can be significantly less and must therefore be guessed by the
operator.

568
8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>06

2.2.2.3 To determine the used portion of the theoretical service life


For an inspection interval i (max. 1 year after ISO 9927>1 or VBG 8), the used portion Si of the
theoretical service life is determined according to the following formula:

kmi
Si = &&&&& ¥ Ti
km

km = Factor of load collective, which was the basis when calculating the winch. This factor can
be taken from the Operation Manual.

kmi = Factor of load collective in the inspection interval i according to paragraph 2.2.2.1

Ti = effective operating hours in the inspection interval i according to paragraph 2.2.2.2

This used portion is taken off after each inspection interval from the remaining theoretical service life
Di (see example).

If the remaining theoretical service life is insufficient for the next operating period, then the winch
must be reconditioned or overhauled.

When the theoretical service life D has been reached (see paragraph 2.2.1), then the winch may only be
operated again after it has been reconditioned or overhauled.

In any case, it must be reconditioned or overhauled at the latest after 10 years after putting the
crane into service.

The general reconditioning or overhaul must be initiated by the operator and must be done by the
manufacturer or by a person authorized by the manufacturer and the overhaul must be documented in
the inspection booklet.

After the general reconditioning or overhaul, the manufacturer or the person authorized by the
manufacturer will note a new theoretical service life D.

In any case, the maximum time frame to the next general overhaul is max. 10!years.

569
8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>06

2.2.3. Example

According to the Operation Manual, a mobile crane with separate hour meter for travel drive and crane
operation is classified by the manufacturer as follows:

Drive gear group: M3


Load collective: light L1, km = 0.125
Theoretical service life: D = 3200 hrs.

The used part S of the theoretical service life can be calculated for the individual inspection intervals as
follows:

1st Inspection (1st year)

The crane has been utilized during the past year for assembly work:
Load collective L1, which means km1 = 0.125.

The superstructure hour meter read 800 hrs. Winch operation was about 20 % of that, which means
T1!= 160 hrs.

At the 1st inspection, the used part S of the theoretical service life is therefore as follows:

0.125
S1 = &&&&& ¥ 160 hrs = 160 hrs.
0.125

remaining theoretical service life:

D1 = 3200 hrs > 160 hrs. = 3040 hrs.

The above values are entered in the chart in the crane inspection booklet, see paragraph 2.2.4)

2nd Inspection (2nd year )

The crane has been utilized for unloading ships in the harbor:
Load collective: L3, which means km2 = 0.5

The superstructure hour meter read 2000 hrs, which means during this period:
2000 hrs. > 800 hrs. = 1200 hrs. (800 hrs. were used in the first year of operation)

Of that, the winch was used about 40 %, which means T2 = 480 hrs.

The used portion S2 of the theoretical service life can be calculated for the 2nd individual inspection
interval as follows:

0.5
S2 = &&&&& ¥ 480 hrs. = 1920 hrs.
0.125

remaining theoretical service life:

D2 = 3040 hrs. > 1920 hrs. = 1120 hrs.

570
8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>06

3rd Inspection (3rd year)

The crane has been used for assembly work and sometimes for unloading work in the harbor:
Load collective: L2,which means km3 = 0.25

The superstructure hour meter reads 3000 hrs, which means that during this period:
3000 hrs. > 2000 hrs. = 1000 hrs. (2000 hrs. were used up in the first two years of operation)

Of that, the winch was used about 30 %, which means T3 = 300 hrs.

The used portion S3 of the theoretical service life can be calculated for the 3rd individual inspection
interval as follows:

0.25
S3 = &&&&& ¥ 300 hrs. = 600 hrs.
0.125

remaining theoretical service life:

D3 = 1120 hrs. > 600 hrs. = 520 hrs.

The above values are entered in the chart in the crane inspection booklet as shown in chart 1.

3. Inspection of load hook


The load hooks must be regularly checked by an expert.
These inspections are made to prevent accidents through early detection of problems.
Any problems found during these inspections must be documented, remedied and then reinspected .

3.1 Inspections and monitoring procedures

3.1.1 Distortion
Check for any distortions, for example on the open end of the hook, regularly, but at least on an annual
basis.
The open end of the hook may not have stretched by more than 10% in relation to the initial
measurement ∫y∫ or exceed ∫y1∫ and ∫y 2∫.

DANGER: If the hook opening is now wider by more than 10 % of the initial
measurement, then the load hook may no longer be used.
In that case, contact the Service Department at Liebherr Ehingen .

Note: The initial measurements ∫y∫ or ∫y1∫ and ∫y2∫ are noted on the load hook. Measure
from point to point, as shown.

3.1.2 Corrosion
For this test, the nut must be removed from the hook shaft, so that the threads can be checked for
corrosion and wear.

DANGER: In case corrosion and wear is found on the threads, the load hook may no
longer be used.
In that case, contact the Service Department at Liebherr Ehingen .

refer to chapter

4. Check the cable push out mechanism in the telescopic boom.


4.1 Inspection of pretension of pull back cables, see chapter 7.05
4.2 Life expectancy of cables according to DIN 15020, or ISO 4309, see chapter 8.04

5. Check the inner and outer locking systems on the telescopic boom for function.
For cranes with apneumatic locking system: pin set up, wear and safety control, refer to
chapter!8.11.

6. Check the safety control or the limit switch in the relapse support and the boom A>brackets,
refer to chapter 8.12.

7. Check the nitrogen reservoir for correct gas pressure, especially that of the relapse supports
and suspension accumulators (observe instructions).
refer to chapter 7.04, 7.05, 8.13, 8.14.

8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>06

8. Check the cable pulleys


8.1 The cable pulleys must be checked once a year all around for damage and cracks.
If the cable pulleys have been hit during crane operation (for example on buildings, etc.) or if they were
subjected to any other stress factors, then they must be extensively checked for damage or cracks.

DANGER: If any damage or cracks are found, then the cable pulley must be replaced
immediately. If this is not observed, there is great danger of causing a
serious accident!

8.2 In addition, check the wear in the cable groove. If the cable groove base is run in by more than p of the
cable diameter, then the pulley must be replaced.

9. Check the safe load system for function.


9.1 With the longest boom, move to the minimum and maximum radius: Check the load indication, take the
hook block as a test weight.
The deviation may not be more than 10% of the load capacity in these two extreme positions.

9.2 The given radius must be measured again for the longest boom for the smallest radius and at a boom
angle of 45∞ .
The deviation may not be more than 10% of the measured radius.

10. Check the slewing ring connection


10.1 For tilt play measurement, see chapter 7.05

11. Check the mounting tightness of the load carrying components


Check the mounting screws of the pulley rotary connection, winches, slewing gears and tackle couplings
for tight seating.

11.1 The mounting screws of the rotary connections are pretensioned at the factory, and normally should not
loosen up during normal operation.
However, if the crane has been overloaded or if the load broke off, then it is possible that the screw
connection has been overloaded and the screw has been stretched.
For that reason, check these screws during the annual inspection or after an overload to make sure they
are seated tightly.
Any loose screws, as well the the two screws next to them on both the left and right hand side should be
completely removed and carefully checked for damage.
The screws must be especially inspected for cracks or distortion. If the screw has been stretched by more
than 0.2% (in relation to it original length) or if cracks or other damage can be seen, then the damaged
screws must be replaced. In case the screws were stretched or damaged, the screws next to the damaged
screw should also be replaced.

8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>06

12. Check the oil and fuel tanks


Check the oil and fuel tanks at least once a year and in subsequent inspections every 4 years all around
for leaks.

Repairs may only be made by especially trained expert personnel.


Improper repairs, for example welding, brazing or soldering are not permitted without consulting the
Service Dept. at LIEBHERR Ehingen!

13. Check the reeving auxiliary winch, salvage and spare tire winch
Check the corresponding manufacturer for the life expectancy of the reeving auxiliary winch, salvage
and spare tire winch .

Remarks:

1) The inspection of the road safe condition of the carrier vehicle is also recommended if an error free expert
inspection result according to highway safety regulations is available. For vehicle cranes, which are not
cleared for use on public highways, the experienced technician or expert inspector should also check the
vehicle for road safe condition (see also UVV ∫Vehicles∫ (VBG 112)).

2) These inspections must be made by an expert engineer even if an error free expert inspection result
according to highway safety regulations is available.

3) Inspection of winches regarding used part of theoretical utilization time.

Monitoring
The cables must be checked regularly, especially strict during the first initial period after placing them, in
addition to the time after they have been exposed to unusual strains, if there might be any damage which is not
clearly visible or after the first signs of cable damage show up.

The operating safety of cables can be determined according to the following criteria:

> Type and number of broken wires (see chart)

> Position and time frame of broken wires

> Reduction of cable diameter during operating time

> Corrosion, chafing, cable distortion

> Heat effects

> Total placement time

In addition, cable end connections and cable suspension must be regularly checked for proper condition. The
individual elements of the cable drive, cable drums and pulleys must easily rotate in their mounts and they may
not show an impression of the cable profile in their tracks.

Note: The groove radius on drums and pulleys must be 0.595 ¥ rated cable diameter.

Any changes in cable behavior must be especially well monitored.

DANGER: As soon as the cable strands hit together above the hook block, there is a danger of
serious cable damage. The cause is always added revolution tension in a torsion
free hoist cable, which can be due to a variety of influences and problems, but also
due to special stress or extension of the hoist cable in severe applications.

Note: Refer to the paragraph describing ™Extension torsion in torsion free hoist cables and its
elimination™

Discard time

DANGER: The cables must be discarded immediately if one of the following problems is found:

> Break of a strand

> Occurrence of wire break pockets

> Reaching the wire break numbers according to the chart

> Corkscrew type deformations by more than 1/3 of the cable diameter (fig. 1)

> >Arch formation (fig. 2)

> Hair pin shaped penetration of wires or wire strands from the cable (fig. 3)

> Reduction of cable diameter as compared to the nominal diameter by more than 15% or

> by 10% with simultaneous occurrence of corrosion and / or abrasion (fig. 4)

> Slackening of cable structure (fig. 4)

> Constriction (fig. 5)

> Kinks and compressions (fig. 6+8)

> Pulls or remaining distortions (fig. 7)

If particular cable damages occur, you must find the cause for these damages and remedy them before placing a
new cable.
The damages and grinding traces on the construction parts of the crane can provide important clues.

CAUTION: If there are doubts if the crane cable is still operational safe, then put it down or
consult an expert for an opinion.

DANGER: If a cable is changed, you must use a cable of the same type and solidity with the
same diameter as the original cable had when it was new.
If another wire cable is to be used, you must first get the approval of the crane
manufacturer .

Cables are very susceptible to external damage. Be especially careful when placing them for transport and / or
when they are unloaded.
Any cables held in reserve must be stored in a clean, cool and dry area. Be sure that they donπt lay on soil.

Cables can only work properly without any problems if they are without any twists or other external damage.

Winding procedure
Cables must be pulled in winding direction from the reel or the ring (fig. 1).
Do not pull off the cable sideways, because that will cause the cable to twist and will cause pulls which will
destroy the cable.

The best procedure is to spool up the cable from a raised reel to the drum ( fig. 2).
Winding the cable in the same bending direction prevents additional cable tension and assures that the cable
lays better on the drum.

CAUTION: Make sure that the cable is not pulled over the ground to prevent it from getting
dirty.

A swivel must be interconnected to protect torsion free hoist cables from forced twists.

If multiple layers are wound, the lower layers must be wound tightly with a pretension of about 1 to 2% of the
minimum braking force of the cable. This pretension can be reached by slowing down (braking) the reel.

For multi>sheave reeving, the hoist cable should be reeved at the same direction as it has in the drum. If a
limited cable length to reeve the hook block must be laid on the ground, then it must be assured that the cable is
not twisted.

After placing the cable, test it first with low partial loads and then retract it in several hoists, switching
between a loaded and an unloaded hook block. This ensures that the cable adapts to the bending direction and
the bending radius of pulley and drum.

Maintenance and care


Regular cable maintenance assures the operating safety of the crane and significantly increases the service life
of the cable.

Wire cables must be lubricated in regular intervals, depending on the operating conditions, especially in the
area where the cable bends on drums and pulleys.
It was determined that under the same test conditions well lubricated cables provide 4 times more bending
flexure than unlubricated cables.
The lubricants must be compatible with the original cable lubricant .

Note: The cables must be lubricated with standard, commercially available lubricants, as
recommended by the crane manufacturer. Refer to the lubrication chart.

Dirty wire cables should be cleaned regularly, preferably with brushes.

If the lower cable layers on the drum are hardly used or used not at all, then they should be unwound from time
to time and rewound with pre>tension. A cable is most economical when it is used in its entire length. For that
reason, for longer lasting crane work, it is recommended to match the cable length to the task.

If certain section of the cable are more used than others then the cable should be turned over after a certain
time. Service life of the cable can be increased significantly by attaching the previously free end to the drum,
and sections which were previously spared are now used more severely and areas which were previously used
more will now not be used as much.

If wear is predominantly in multi>layers on the Lebus drum, then the service life of the cable can be increased
by shorting the drum end by a length which corresponds to 1/3 of the drum circumference.

Extension torsion in torsion free hoist cables and its elimination


A torsion compensation is not only required after a new cable has been placed, but also if extension torsion has
been building up after a longer working period, resulting from stretching and settling of the cable structure.

Torsion compensation can be noticed when the hook block turns in multi reeve operation and when the load is
set down and / or the outer strands seem to loosen up and if, in extreme cases, the cable shows an arch
formation.

Measures to take care of an elongation cable twist are noted below.


If a crane is operated for a longer period of time with the same reeving, without unreeving or changing the hoist
cable reeving, then we recommend installation of a cable twist catcher on the fixed point of the hoist cable.

CAUTION: If this is not observed, the cable can be damaged!

Measures to eliminate torsion compensation:

1 Set down the hook block


Lower the hook block as much as possible, so that the greatest cable length between pulley head and hook
block is exposed to compensation (twist, point 4).

2 Determine the turning direction


First determine in which direction the hook block is twisted.
The turning directions are shown on the illustration with a continuously lined arrow.
Since this is difficult, especially in large hoisting heights, check it by turning in direction of the dashed
arrow. The ∫braid∫ must dissolve.

3 Loosen the cable on the fixed point


When the direction of rotation has been determined, release the cable on the fixed point on the hook block.

Note: It is advantageous if, for torsion compensation, the hook block has been reeved in an
uneven number or that such a number will be reeved.
In that case,the fixed point of the cable is easily accessible on the hook block and it can
easily be released.

4 Carefully turn the end of the cable by 180∞ to 360∞, to compensate for the turn of the hook block
To compensate for the turn, turn the separately shown end of the cable, as marked by the solid line arrow.

Note: It is important that the correct reference point is taken and that the crane operator holds
the cable in front of him .

The right moving cable (Z), as shown in fig. 1 and the left moving (S) cable, as shown in fig. 4, is turned in
for compensation, while the right moving cable (Z), as shown in fig. 2, and the left moving cable (S), as
shown in fig. 3, must be turned out.
The rule is that for torsion compensation, the end of the cable must be turned against the direction of
rotation, which caused the release of the ∫braid∫ in the above test.

CAUTION: The cable section should be as long as possible for the turn. Through a hoisting
movement without a load, this turn should be distributed over the complete
length of the cable.
Under no circumstances turn the cable by force over a short section, because this
would destroy the cable structure permanently.

5 Reattach the cable on the fixed point


The end of the cable must be reattached and secured on the fixed point after the turn.

6 Carefully lift the hook block, raise it without a load and repeat the procedure, if necessary
Since a non>stretch cable construction is relatively safe from torsion, the cable can only be stretched a little
(actually, the torsion does not continue over the cable pulley), so that the hoisting movements with out a
load must be repeated several times.
After getting the compensating turn to the end of the cable, reattach the cable end again to the fixed point
and repeat the hoisting movements with out a load one or several times so that the torsion compensation
can be distributed over the complete length of the cable past the cable pulley.

Note: If necessary, in case the stretch was especially severe (multiple twisting of the lower
pulley block and / or slackening of outer strands over a longer stretch, or at several
points) then repeat this procedure several times, depending on hoist cable length.

2.2 Brake action test


The brake function can be checked through the ports in the cover plates.
If the brake pedal is pressed down, both brake pads must touch the drum, when the brake pedal is relea>
sed, the brake pads must immediately return to starting position.
The brake action can be checked by measuring delay, brake path or by determining the braking action
on a brake test station.

2.2.1 Measure the delay with a declerometer


At a pressure of 6.5 bar, the measured median delay should be dm!>!4,5!m/s2 .

2.2.2 Measure the brake path


At a pressure of 6.5 bar, the brake path should be s!<!as the value given in the chart.

20 6.5

30 12.5

40 19.8

50 29.0

2.2.3 Determine braking action on a brake test station


To measure the brake power on the vehicle axles, calculate the braking action as follows:

F1¥i1+F2¥i2 ... Fn ¥ in
z = &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& ¥ 100 [%]
Gz

Gz = Permissible total weight of the vehicle [N]


z = Braking [%]
F1 = Brake power of first axle, which has been measured at p1 pressure [N]
F2 = Brake power of second axle, which has been measured at p2 pressure [N]
Fn = Brake power of last axle, which has been measured at pn pressure [N]
pN1 > 0,4

3. Internal inspection of wheel brake


Independent of the function and action test, the following tests must be made:

3.1 Every 3 months, the brake pad condition should be checked through the ports in the cover plates.
Every 12 months, pull the brake drum to check the various, internal brake components .

CAUTION: The brake may not be actuated if the brake drum has been pulled.

3.2 Replace the pads when the pad thickness is 5.5 mm (new thickness = 18 mm), measured without ta>
king the thickness of the metal part of the brake pad into account; replace the pads if the pads are burnt,
slick or oily.
For replacement, only Jurid 546 and Bremskerl 6275 brake pads may be used.
Rivet and adhere these pads, as these asbestos free pads are not as rigid.

DANGER: Always replace the pads on both wheels of each axle.

3.3 The brake drums should also be turned.

Note: When turning the brake drums, do not exceed the permissible turning measurement
of 0.75 % of the nominal diameter!

Example: Nominal diameter: 500.00 mm


Permissible turning measurement: 3.75 mm
Permissible inside diameter: 503.75 mm

DANGER: If the inside diameter of the brake drum is larger than 503.75 mm, then the
brake drum must be replaced.
Otherwise there is a danger of causing a serious accident!

3.4 To correct the brake pad wear or to center the brake, it is equipped with an automatic adjustment devi>
ce, which is maintenance free.

DANGER: In case of damage to any parts, replace the automatic adjustment device
completely, using repair kit ∫adjustment device∫.
If this is not done, there is a danger of causing a serious accident!

3.5 The pressure and pull springs as well as seal rings, caps and dust covers must be replaced at least every
2 years.

DANGER: All maintenance and repairs on th brake system must be performed by aut>
horized and especially trained personnel.
Otherwise there is a danger of causing a serious accident!

3.6 After assembly, repeat visual, function and action test.

9.01 CODE OF PRACTICE FOR OVERLOAD SAFETY DEVICES OF BOOM CRANES 021687>00

Issued by: VDMA (association of german mechanical> and plant engineers) > January 1970

The telescopic boom crane which has been supplied to you is equipped in conformity with the Accident
Prevention Regulations Relating to Telescopic Boom Cranes with an overload safety device (overload motion
cut device) by means of which the hoist and the telescoping gear are switched off if the maximum permissible
load moment of the crane is exceeded. It must still be possible, after the overload safety equipment has been
activated, to perform the opposite movement in order to reduce the crane load, in other words, it must still be
possible to lower the load after the hoist has been switched off.

Installation of an overload safety device (overload motion cut device) is intended to prevent loads being lifted
with the crane which jeopardise the craneπs stability. The overload safety device (overload motion cut device) is
thus an emergency switch which switches off any movement which increases the load moment of the crane once
the crane has been overloaded and thus prevents a possible accident or damage or injury to persons or property.

It is essential to observe a number of points in order to ensure that the overload safety device is able to perform
its safety function:

1. Overload safety devices (overload motion cut devices) mut not be used in normal operations for switching off
the hoist or the telescoping gear. The crane operator is required to satisfy himself that lifting the load will
not exceed the specified maximum lifting capacity of the crane prior to performing the lifting operation.
Excessively heavy loads, which are in excess of the load lifting capacity of the crane, must not be lifted even
though an overload safety device is fitted. This safety device must not be used as a means of checking the
weight of the load to be lifted and the crane must not be loaded beyond its safe working load.

2. Duties involving freeing stuck loads may only be performed with the prior approval of the crane
manufacturer and only using such cranes as are properly equipped for such duties. If the crane is used for
such duties, the overload safety device (safe load limiter) must not be used as a means of measuring the
force.

3. The overload safety device fitted requires to be inspected and serviced at regular intervals and an
operational check should be performed each time before crane operations are commenced. A regular
inspection of the overload safety device is an integral part of the crane maintenance procedures in
conformity with the Accident Prevention Regulations for Telescopic Boom Cranes.

4. The overload safety device does not normally adjust automatically to the different operating states of the
crane. It is therefore the responsibility of the crane operator to also correctly set the overload safety device
to the altered lifting capacity or load moment range when the crane is to be used for different duties. The
instructions given in the manufacturerπs operating manual in this connection should be strictly observed.

Strict adherence to these instructions is essential to ensure proper operation of this safety device and to
ensure safe operation of the crane. An overload safety device which is incorrectly set, e.g. set to an
excessively large load moment with the outriggers retracted, is a far greater hazard than a crane not fitted
with such a device because this gives the crane operator a false sense of security, which in turn can be the
cause of a serious accident.

604
9.01 CODE OF PRACTICE FOR OVERLOAD SAFETY DEVICES OF BOOM CRANES 021687>00

5. The crane operator is required to set the overload safety device (overload motion cut device) which is fitted
to the crane to the altered lifting capacity or load moment range when the crane is to perform different
duties, for instance:
a) when extending or retracting the outriggers (switching over to large or small load moment)
b) when altering the boom length by
> manually extending or retracting (telescoping)
> fitting or dismantling intermediate sections
c) when turning or slewing the crane into the range of the greater or lesser moment of stability (changing
over to the large or small load moment)
d) when changing over to a different lifting capacity range by reeving the hoist or the telescopic gear with
several falls

6) Attention is expressly drawn to the fact that the overload safety device may not be activated or the gear
may not be switched off quickly enough if the crane is incorrectly operated. In such cases, it is not possible to
completely rule out an accident despite an overload safety device being fitted. This is particularly true for
> hooking the load or the lifting tackle from below
> excessive braking forces
> loads dropping into the rope
> pulling at an angle
> moving the crane to an area of ground with a greater slope
> ground which gives way
> wind load

7) If a device is provided which enables the overload safety device (safe load limiter) to be switched off or
overridden, this may only be used if special safety measures are taken and in the presence of a crane
supervisor, e.g. when conducting a test of the crane, and when performing the duties specifically authorised
by the crane manufacturer.
On no account may the overload safety device be switched off or overridden in order to lift a load which
exceeds the maximum permissible load lifting capacity of the crane.

Careful observance of the instructions contained in this Code of Practice and in the operating manual of the
crane manufacturer are essential requirements for safe and reliable operation of the overload safety device
(overload motion cut device). If there is any doubt, the manufacturerπs operating instructions should be
consulted. If the information contained therein is not sufficient, it is essential to contact the company
concerned. Unauthorized interference in the mechanism of the overload safety device will invalidate the
warranty provisions.

9.02 GUIDELINES TO PREVENT FIRES IN THE ENGINE AREA
AND IMPORTANT SERVICE WORK TO BE PERFORMED 022103>03

1. Inspections

1.1 Check the engine area daily before starting the crane, and check all oil and fuel lines for leaks and make
sure they are dry. In addition, check the fuel and oil filter as well as the injection pump for leaks.

1.2 During the daily check up, also check all hydraulic components, the hydraulic motors for the fan drives
and corresponding hydraulic lines to assure that they are tight and that there are no leaks.

1.3 Check the exhaust system, especially the exhaust flange and the exhaust flap brakes to assure that they
are not leaking and are easily movable. The return springs to open the exhaust flaps must be
functioning properly, as stuck and therefore closed exhaust flaps during engine operation cause great
increases in temperatures and overheating.

1.4 Check if electrical lines are still routed and mounted properly, with sufficient distance to exhaust pipes,
and assure that they are not damaged and still properly insulated.

1.5 To reduce the noise emission, insulating mats are installed in the engine area (chassis > engine
covering) on some crane models. When the fiberglass mats with integrated noise reduction material are
are clean, they are not flammable and are flame retardant.
If engine compartments are is not cleaned regularly, oil and fuel may splash on the mats while
performing maintenance and repair work. Oil and fuel soaked noise reduction mats must be removed, as
they are now flammable. The same is true for insulating mats in the exhaust system area.

Clean the engine compartment only with nonflammable cleaning fluids. In addition, the fluid may not
be corrosive or chemically damaging to hoses and cables.

606
9.02 GUIDELINES TO PREVENT FIRES IN THE ENGINE AREA
AND IMPORTANT SERVICE WORK TO BE PERFORMED 022103>03

2. Care during repairs and maintenance work

2.1 When changing the fuel and oil filters, you must observe utmost cleanliness and carefully clean up any
spilled Diesel fuel or oil. Check the fuel and hydraulic system for leaks.

2.2 The V>area of the engine must be especially checked after repairs and service tasks, in addition to
regular intervals, to assure it is free of oil and fuel. Any fuel in the V>area can run throughout the
engine compartment during travel and cause a fire, if it hits hot engine parts.

2.3 We note again, that all electrical lines and wires must be properly routed and must be attached in their
harnesses, any chafings or defects of the insulation and wiring covers must be taken care off
immediately. Any improper installation lines must be replaced immediately.

2.4 Be aware that fuel and oil lines can become porous or brittle due to age. Any lines which look brittle or
porous must be replaced immediately. (See also Guidelines about the life expectancy of hoses and lines).

2.5 Please note, while carrying out repairs and service task, that you do not step on any pipe or hose lines in
the engine area. This applies especially to fuel injection lines. If you must step in that area during
installation, then the engine must be covered with a board or similar support plate.

3. Important service tasks

3.1 To prevent dry runs, the gear shafts must be lubricated regularly and properly with specified
LIEBHERR grease.

3.2 The gear shaft screws must be checked regularly to assure they are seated tightly.

3.3 Gear and engine oil levels must be checked regularly. Add oil to compensate for normal oil
consumption. However, if an unusual amount of oil must be added or has been lost, you must check for
and remedy the problem.

4. Maintenance guidelines for replacement components

4.1 When replacing drive components, such as Diesel engine, gear, axles, etc. you must observe the
following:
Before putting these components into service, make sure to add the specified oil to the max. mark; for
type of oil, check data tag and lubrication chart.
Perform the first maintenance check as noted in chapter MAINTENANCE INTERVALS; then carry out
all regular maintenance intervals as noted.

4.2 Make sure to follow initial operational instructions.

AND IMPORTANT SERVICE WORK TO BE PERFORMED 022103>03

5. Notes for travel operation

CAUTION: DO NOT exceed the permissible engine speed in high gear, it could cause
engine damage!

6. Disposal

6.1 Engine, gear and hydraulic oils, grease, fuel:


To prevent pollution, these service fluids may not be spilled onto the ground, to prevent them from
getting into ground water, sewage, or drainage systems.
Observe all state and local regulations applicable to the disposal of these items.

6.2 Radiator fluids for Diesel engines and heater systems:


For disposal, undiluted antifreeze fluids / corrosion protective oils must be handled as special hazardous
material.
When disposing of used coolant fluids (mixture of antifreeze / corrosion protective oils and water,
observe all state and local regulations applicable to the disposal of these items.

7. Rotating wheels

7.1 Tires used on crane vehicles are exposed to different loads and stresses, depending on the location of the
wheels on the crane, such as:
> non > propelled steering and fixed axles.
> propelled steering and fixed axles and
> various wheel positions exposed to more or less load.

Depending on the type of the tire tread, tires often wear differently.

7.2 To assure that all tires wear equally, we recommend to rotate the tires as soon as a difference in tire
wear is visible. We recommend to rotate the tires after 5,000 to 10,000 km.
Rotate the tires in crosswise direction (see illustration). In addition, select the new tire positions in such
a way that tires with uneven tire wear are moved to positions where tires wore evenly.
These measures can influence driving comfort and tire wear in a positive way.

8. Tire change

8.1 The tires may only be changed by authorized expert personnel; this applies to the removal as well as to
the installation of tires onto the rims.

8.2 All sections on the rim must be cleaned and checked for damage! For the installation, use a new end ring
and a new O>ring.
Check tires, side ring and end ring to ensure they are seated correctly.

D A N G E R : If the end ring is not positioned all the way in the groove, it might explosively
release when the tire is pumped up!
If this is not observed, there is an increased risk of causing a serious accident!
