long time, before reuse, special inspections are required. Special inspections should be carried out:
a. If any of the following items change:
1) Safety devices.
2) Rated load;
4) Mechanisms;
6) Power source;
8) Lifting attachment;
If the said items are maintained and repaired in our company, all inspections will be performed
and then the crane can be directly put into service. If the said items are repaired or replaced by users,
necessary tests must be done so as to ensure that the crane may normally work and run smoothly.
b. If the outside environmental condition changes, which is not suitable for normal operation:
2) Earthquake;
4) Fire, flood;
A crane's structural parts and mechanisms may become damaged due to storm, earthquake or
If an equipment stands idle for a long time, the grease on part pivots and tire pressure will
become insufficient.
2. Inspection guideline
After a lifting appliance itself or the outside environmental condition changes, inspections
corresponding to the change or damage degree should be done; after an accident, the inspection items
should be determined according to accident consequence; after a standstill for a long time, before reuse,
the inspection items should be determined according to the characteristics of the related lifting appliance.
Load test must be done to the crane, which itself or the outside environmental condition has changed
or it has experienced overhaul or an accident before reuse. Visual check and no-load test are required
The said overhaul means removal or replacement of main load bearing structural members, or repair
of whole mechanism or control system, but the performance parameter and specifications are not altered.

Before performing any service, review General Safe Operation on page 1-1.
The boom is the main component to which force is applied; it bears the weight of loads, wind loads Chapter 3
and other loads during operation. The telescoping system activates changes in the boom's length.
2. Balance valve
The balance valve sits at the rear of the telescoping cylinder and prevents the retraction of the
cylinder when the control lever is in the neutral position. The valve also stabilizes the retraction speed
of the boom. The balance valve also performs a safety protective function by preventing the oil cylinder
from quickly retracting should a failure of a hose or fitting occur between the boom cylinders and the
control valves.
The crane has a four-section boom. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th boom sections are synchronously extended
and retracted in sequence by a one-stage telescoping cylinder plus ropes and sheave system. The
pressure relief valve has been adjusted to 18 MPa in order to prevent the piston rod from bending due to
There is a balance valve equipped in the oil circuit in order to ensure smooth boom retraction and
reliable stop.
1. Adjustment of ropes
During operation of the boom, the length of the wire rope will change due to the force applied to the
ropes. Examine and adjust the boom telescoping system monthly.
Never operate the crane if the boom cannot be extended and retracted synchronously or if
vibration is noticed. Do not operate until problems are corrected. Otherwise, wire ropes may fall out
Chapter 3 of the groove or break.
To maintain normal operation, make periodic adjustments. The method for adjusting is as follows:
Extend all sections out after elevating the boom to 60º, and retract them in fully; repeat several times.
Lower the boom down after 2nd, 3rd and 4th sections are extended for a distance, and then
respectively adjust the nuts on thin ropes (Ⅱ) of 4th section synchronously as well as nuts on thin ropes
(Ⅰ) of basic section until the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sections can be telescoped synchronously without shaking.
Tighten the nuts on the thin ropes, see Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2.
If there is more than 1 – 2 mm of clearance between adjacent boom sections while the boom is fully
retracted, insert adjusting shims to compensate. Otherwise, the force applied to the hydraulic cylinder and

● If the boom shakes during adjustments, coat the sliding surface of the slide block with grease.
● Do not fully extend the boom for coating, refer to performance plate or table.
2. Adjustment of sliders
The sliders have been adjusted in place before delivery. Never adjust the sliders unless the boom has
been bending, lateral loading has taken place, or deflection due to serious frictional damage has occurred.
If adjustments are necessary, adjust the slider on the boom head by adjusting the slider bolt to control the
clearance. To adjust the slider on the boom tail, dismantle the boom and increase or decrease the number
of shims under the slider to control the clearance (see Figure 3-3).
Chapter 3
Tipping Hazard!
Before adjusting the slider on the boom head, fully retract the boom.
Only qualified personnel should adjust the slider on the boom tail.
The winch system's parts control hoisting and lowering movements of the load through wire ropes.

The slewing ring connects the superstructure and carrier of the crane. The slewing ring allows the
superstructure to rotate on the carrier. The weight of the load, and the over-turning moment during lifting
operations are transmitted through the slewing ring into the carrier.
The slewing ring has a four-point contact ball structure. The outer race of the slewing ring connects
to the carrier frame and the inner race connects to the turntable. The steel ball sits between the outer and
inner races to make contact with the circular arc sliding track at four points. It can bear axial force, radial
See Appendix for the tightening torque of bolts. Examine the pre-tightening force of the bolts after

When the pressurized oil from hydraulic pump enters into the piston bores of cylinder through valve
plate, piston extend out under oil pressure against the swash plate, which then produces a normal reaction
force on pistons. This force can be further decomposed into axial branch force Fx and vertical branch
force Fy. Fx is balanced out with the pressure acting on the pistons, while Fy develops a torque with
respect to the cylinder center, which causes a counter clockwise rotation of motor shaft.
The central rotary joint is an essential part for rough terrain cranes. The central rotary joint transmits
the hydraulic oil flows and electrical current between the carrier and super structure while allowing
continuous rotation.

check the transmission oil level from the oil dipstick located at the transmission support at the left side
of the crane. The oil level should be within the cold and hot marks (i.e. the middle mark and min. mark).
Add the oil if it is insufficient. It is not necessary to drain the oil if it is higher than the middle mark.
When the working temperature of the oil is reached, check the level on the dipstick when the engine
runs at idle for 2~3 minutes. The oil level should be between the top two marks (i.e. the max. mark and

3-21-1 Variable pump
The variable pump enables telescoping, elevating and hoisting during lifting operations.
The variable pump is the device that changes mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. Its output
Chapter 3
flow is in proportion to the rotating speed of the driveshaft. The input rotational moment increases
with the rise of the pressure difference between the high pressure side and the low pressure side. When
the engine drives the main shaft of the rotating pump, the connecting rod, plunger and cylinder rotate
together, and the cylinder rotates on the valve plate. Because there is an intersecting angle between
the main shaft and the cylinder axial line, the plunger gets an oil suction stroke when it moves from
the bottom dead center to the top dead center and draws oil into the cylinder by the oil suction port
and valve plate waist type hole. When the plunger moves from the top dead center to the bottom dead
center, it gets an oil extrusion stroke and squeezes the oil that fully filled in the cylinder to the output
port in order to drive the executive elements. The variable pump works by changing the incline angle
between the main shaft and the cylinder axial line through the variable mechanism. Changing the
incline angle can change the oil suction volume of the variable pump. The torque of the variable pump
depends on its working volume, output pressure, and flow. When output torque is constant, the bigger
the working volume and the bigger the pressure of the variable pump. When output rotation speed is
constant, the larger the working volume and the higher the variable pump flow.

Before performing any service, review General Safe Operation on page 1-1.
Check, replace and refill oil (including grease) according to the requirements specified in the
manual. Use the oil in terms of type and quantity according to the requirements in the manual.
Otherwise, deterioration of product performance or reduction in service life of related parts or
damage to parts may be caused, even accidents.
Chapter 4
If operating the crane in a severe environment, such as high temperature, high humidity,
extreme cold, dusty conditions, etc, oil changes and lubrication may need to be done more frequently
to maintain the performance and safe operation of the crane.
Before replacing hydraulic oil or maintaining hydraulic oil tank, place the shut-off valve in the
closed state. Reset the shut-off valve to the open state after the replacement of hydraulic oil or completion
of maintenance.
● Whenever oil becomes excessively contaminated, filter or replace it even before the scheduled
filtration or replacement time.
● Replace hydraulic oil according to ISO/DIS 4406. Always use suitable oil depending on the
ambient temperature.
● When the shut-off valve is in the closed state, the hydraulic oil pump may get damaged if the
engine is started.

Tire maximum speed: 40 km/h, the vehicle cannot travel continuously exceeding 2 hours.
The inflation pressure here means the cold tire pressure that is measured before the vehicle travels or
3 hours after the vehicle stops. If measuring the tire pressure when tires are hot (has been recently used),
the pressure will be higher by 5% or 10% than the pressure measured when tires are cool (has not been
recently used). The loading capacity of the tire is closely connected to the vehicle speed and inflation
pressure.
The tread depth of the tire crown should not be less than 5 mm;
There should not be crack and cut on tire tread face and side wall.
When mounting tires, be sure the type and tread of the tires on an axle are the same.
Regularly check the tires for damage, depth of tread and foreign particles, If the pressure decreases
too quickly, check the reason for the air leakage (for instance, check whether or not the tire has a puncture,
There is a limit on the maximum speed permissible for tires, so never exceed the limit while driving
the vehicle. Driving at speeds above the recommended limit for a long period of time will result in the
tires overheating, and the tire's service life will shorten. During driving, the driver should pay close
attention to avoid obstacles. If there is an obstacle in the front of the vehicle (for example, a pit), the
driver should respond in advance to avoid the obstacle. If the driver cannot avoid the obstacle, the driver
Store tires vertically. Store them in a shady, dry room; never store tires in an open-air environment.
Sun exposure over a long period of time will cause premature aging of the rubber before the tire's official
expiration date. Tires are made of rubber, so when driving and stopping the vehicle or when storing tires,
never let tires contact chemicals such as oil, acid, hydrocarbon or other chemicals. Contact could cause
corrosion, deformation and softening of tires. While storing, transporting and mounting tires, avoid
damaging the bead toe. Otherwise, air tightness will diminish and the tire will not function.
The rim is an important part of the vehicle's traveling system. When changing the wheels, check for
the following:
1. Rim rustiness;
2. Rim deflection and deformation;
3. Rim cracks;
4. Opening of the rim flange, mounting hole, and rim bolts and nuts.
After checking the rim, repair or replace the damaged or deformed parts at once. If paint is stripped,

● Shorten the inspection intervals when the crane is subjected to above-average load spectrums,
for example when handling large material quantities or frequently erecting long boom systems.
If defects such as cracks or permanent deformation are detected on load-bearing steel components,
they should be immediately reported to XCMG Customer service center. Furthermore, the defect must be
appraised by an authorized inspector in accordance with standard welding practice rules. The inspector
must ascertain whether or not the crane can continue to be safely operated until the time of the repair.
