2.01 ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS 021178>04

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.

E
The steering system, the service brake, parking brake and retarder will then no

C
longer conform to regulations!

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

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


R
ER

> it is reeved not more than 4 times,


> it has been marked by the manufacturer on the data tag with the letter ∫E∫ for ∫entschßrft (chamfered)∫
and
BH

> the cable was attached to the front towing eyes or if the hook is held with an auxiliary cable and attached to
the towing coupling .
E

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

Mast tip *

If a mast tip is installed, then > to prevent obstruction of the driverπs field of vision > it should be turned from the

Instructions on run>in

CAUTION: The crane is not yet running>in

For this reason, the following instructions must be followed:

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

2. 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).

E
> Check coolant and oil levels in the engine.
> Check oil level in powershift gearbox or automatic transmission.

C
> Check engine, transmission and axle mountings for secure seating and for leaks (visual check).

VI
> Check drive shafts for secure connection.
> Check all other chassis components for secure mounting.
ER
> Check air pressure and conditions of the tyres (visual check).

Breaking in the brake pads


R
ER

In order to obtain optimum braking acting, new brake pads must be activated or broken in. Breake in the new
pads by applying the brakes in intervals in low to medium speed range, do not brake forcefully! The breaking in
route > preferably at least 500 km (310 miles) depends on the vehicle. In this phase, the maximum brake drum
BH

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.
E

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
LI

high speed.

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

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

E
> Electrical overhead wires (complete with voltage data)

C
> Space requirements at the operating sites

VI
> Movement restrictions due to surrounding structures
ER
> Weight and dimensions of load(s) to be lifted
-S

> Required lifting height and radius

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


R
ER

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

> Hook blocks / load blocks


BH

> Auxiliary telescopic boom


E

> Lifting / slinging tackle


LI

> 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!

1. 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 the following important safety notes.

Many problems and damages with mobile cranes are caused by 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,

E
> loose cable formations

C
Overloading

VI
Driving too fast with a load, or setting up and loading on an uneven surface.
Improperly slinging a load.
ER
Operating in unsuitable conditions, especially pulling at an angle or fixed loads coming loose.
Wind on suspended load.
-S

Improperly driving on public roads without a load, for example, engine or transmission overloaded.
Collision with bridges, ceilings, high>voltage wires.
R

Insufficient support; support base beneath the outriggers not sufficient in capacity.
ER

Improper assembly / disassembly of telescopic booms.


BH

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


> Lack of oil, grease or antifreeze
E

> Accumulation of too much dirt


LI

> 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.

2. 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.

3. Slopes and trenches

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

C
must always be kept from them.

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

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 collapse.

4. 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 fitted 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.

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.

5. Supporting the crane

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 force between the sliding arms is guaranteed.
The outriggers may only be used when the sliding arms are extended to these positions!

DANGER: Intermediate adjustments between the prescribed support widths may not be made
as the transmission of 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
they could cause a serious accident, causing the crane to topple over.

E
Always extend all 4 sliding arms and support jacks, including those on the side opposite the load. If only the

C
sliding arms and support jacks on the load side are extended, the results could be dangerous as:

VI
DANGER: 1. The load hanging on the hook tensions the hoist cable, the telescopic boom, the
ER
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
-S

released 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
R

necessary to slew the load to the opposite side.


ER

Therefore the crane may topple over.

3. When turning from longitudinal direction, the crane can tip over due to the
BH

momentum of the boom or counterweight.


E
LI

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.

43
2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>06

Checking safety measures

Crane supported

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

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

> Is there a sufficiently safe distance from slopes and trenches?

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

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

> Is axle suspension blocked?

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

C
> Are the sliding arms secured with pins?

VI
> Are the support pads secured?
ER
> Is the crane horizontally aligned?
-S

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

2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>06

6. 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 deducted from the
load capacity.

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

E
C
Actual useful load of the crane =29.590 kg

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

Ballast
The required ballast is dependent on the load to be lifted and necessary boom radius for operating with that
R

load. Data in the corresponding load capacity table is decisive in selecting ballast.
ER

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

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.

45
2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>06

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.

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

C
VI
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
ER
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.
-S

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.
R
ER

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
BH

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
E

Rated Voltage

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!

46
2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>06

7. 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.

E
If necessary, we recommend to connect a power isolating transformer.

C
CAUTION: To check the protective measures and to decide if the crane can be supplied with

VI
power from the general power supply distribution network, a competent trained
electrician must be called in with the appropriate test instruments according to
ER
VDE (Association of German Electrotecnical Engineers).
-S

8. Working near transmitters


R
ER

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
BH

objects, for example:


> Effect on human organs due to temperature increase
> Danger of burns or inflammation due to temperature increase
E

> Spark or electric arc formation


LI

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

2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>06

The high frequency (HF>) rays from a transmitter require an increased working protection and
special UVV>guidelines (Accident Control Regulations) 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

E
(master) any time such a contact has occurred, so that the cables can be checked and inspected.

C
6. An insulator (1) must always be between the load hook of the crane and the tackle. This insulator (1) may

VI
not be removed. This is strictly prohibited. ER
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.
-S

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!
R
ER

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).
BH

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.
E

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.
LI

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.

9. Hand signals for guides

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.

DANGER: A suspended load is always a risk

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.

CAUTION: 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.

10. Observing wind conditions

It is essential to adhere to the information given in the load capacity tables regarding the maximum
permissible wind speed.
Crane operations must be stopped and the boom lowered as soon as the maximum wind speed is exceeded.

DANGER: Before beginning any work, the crane operator must receive information on the
expected wind speeds from the responsible meteorological authorities.
If impermissible wind speed are forecast, hoisting a load is prohibited.
If this is not observed there is a danger of accidents!

4. Off road driving


For travel off road, on unsurfaced paths and in wintry conditions, added controls are available.

The maximum off road driving ability is obtained by adding the front axle drive. In addition, transverse
differential locks can be applied.

Note : The addition of the front axle can be done separately.


The transverse differential locks require the length differential locks.

For safety reasons, the cut in or cut off of the front axle or the differential locks can
only be made via the "2>Hand>button" . This means that the confirmation key (93)
must always pushed together with the function keys.

CAUTION: To prevent damage on the drive axles, the following must be prevented and
observed:

Turn the differential locks on and off only when the vehicle is at a standstill!

E
The greatest danger of damaging the drive components occurs when the
differential locks are turned on while the wheels are still turning.

C
VI
Drive carefully (not jerky, do not run at full throttle).
ER
Do not drive in curves.

Use the differential locks only to drive on difficult terrain, such as sand,
-S

mud, slush, loose or soft underground, etc.

Turn the differential locks on just shortly before the obstacle, and turn them
off IMMEDIATELY after passing.
R
ER

Never drive a long stretch or on normal, hard road surface with locked
differentials. When driving on hard, solid ground with added front axle drive
or transverse differential lock, significant damage can occur on the drive
BH

axles as well as on the complete drive train!

5. Hydraulic rear axle steering


The rear axle steering makes it possible to turn the wheels of the 1st and 2nd axle into the same
direction for offset movement of the crane (for the so > called dog or crab walk) and tight turning radii.

CAUTION: The rear axle steering may not be used on public roads.

For offset movement of the crane (dog or crab walk), all wheels must be turned into the same travel
direction (steered).

For tight turning radii, all wheels on the front axle must be turned in travel direction and the wheels of
the rear axle must be turned in the opposite direction.

Note: The turn>in angle of the rear axle should be about the same as that of the front axle.
This prevents unnecessary chafing of the tires.

1. General

The LICCON safe load indicator system is processed on the central microprocessor unit 0 in the basic
component group 0.
The LICCON works by comparing the actual load and the maximum permissible load according to the
load capacity chart and the reeving.

Actual load
The actual load is determined by registering changing values:
The load stress on the crane is combined of load momentum and boom momentum. It affects a force in
the boom luffing cylinder, which is measured by pressure sensors.

The boom momentum is calculated from the angle sensor information (boom angle) and the length sen>
sor information (boom length) and the crane data (boom weights) for the adjusted operating mode.

E
The radius is calculated with the aid of the angle sensor information (boom angle), the length sensor
information (boom length) and the geometry data for the adjusted operating mode. A boom flexation

C
due to its own weight and the weight of the load are taken into account.

VI
The actual load is calculated from the total load, the boom momentum and the radius
ER
Maximum load according to load capacity chart and reeving
-S

The crane data, such as load charts, boom weights and geometry data are stored in the central memory
bank of the LICCON .
The ∫maximum load according to load capacity chart and reeving∫ is constantly being determined from
load capacity charts for the adjusted equipment configuration, for the adjusted reeving and the calcula>
R

ted radius.
ER

Comparison
BH

The actual load and the "maximum load according to load capacity chart and reeving " are compared.
As soon as the values get close to the preset limit, a prewarning is given. When this limit is reached or
exceeded, the overload warning is triggered and all load moment increasing crane movements are tur>
E

ned off.

4. Booting the LICCON system after turning it on (= Boot >up phase)

After the LICCON system is turned on, it runs through a self test.

It first checks the connections from the central processing units (CPUs) to the monitor. If no error is found
during this check, then the monitor displays :

O DATA LINE CHECK PASSED >> O.K. !! (fig. 1)


SYSTEM CHECK......

E
If the test found no problems with the connections, then a system test is carried out on all central micro proces>

C
sing units (CPUs). The step>by>step self test procedure can be monitored on the 7>segment CPU indicators.

VI
These indicators are described in more detail in chapter "Localizing and fixing system errors".

5. The ∫SET UP∫ program > the equipment configuration view

The ∫SET UP∫ program permits the crane operator to set the LICCON on the monitor with the aid of the equip>
ment configuration view and the control elements of the LICCON to the current operating mode, the current
equipment configuration view of the crane and the reeving number of the hoist cable .

In addition, after corresponding operating mode preselection, all load capacity charts stored in the system can
be viewed with the ∫SET UP™ program.

After turning the system on and confirming the operating mode preselection group, the ∫SET UP∫ program
appears automatically and shows the equipment configuration view.
Normally the exact same equipment configuration view will appear, which was last used, and the reeving
which was used then will appear.
If the LICCON is turned on for the first time, or if there was a memory loss (cold boot), then the equipment
configuration view for the 1st valid equipment configuration for the 1st valid operating mode will appear.

CAUTION: When rebooting the system (cold boot), the setting for the hoist cable reeving is set

E
to ∫0∫!

C
VI
The operating mode and the equipment configuration can be set two ways:
ER
1. Set up with function keys: (see also paragraph 5.3)
F2 Set the operating mode "Main boom" (if available)
F3 Set the operating mode "Auxiliary equipment" (if available)
-S

F4 Set the equipment configuration "Slewing platform counterweight"(if available)


F5 Set the equipment configuration "Support base"
F6 Set the equipment configuration "Slewing range of crane superstructure"
Push the "ENTER" key.
R
ER

2. With a short code:


Enter the 3>digit short code with the numeric keys of the alpha numeric key board (A) on the monitor ,

Then the data in the selected load capacity chart can be viewed.
E

F7 Set the "Hoist cable reeving"


LI

F8 end the ∫SET UP∫ program and to take over the selected parameters into the ™OPERATION∫ program by
using the "O.K." key.

Note: If the equipment configuration has been confirmed with "O.K." at least once, then the ∫SET
UP∫ program can be ended by pushing one of the program keys (P1 > P8) . The LICCON
throws out the adjustments made in the ∫SET UP∫ program and continues to use the old ope>
rating condition, which has been confirmed last with "O.K.™

1) Symbol ∫Telescopic boom length∫ (looks the same for all operating modes)
2) Abbreviation for programed length units (LE) and weight units (GE). Length units include meters [m]
and feet [ft]. Weight units are shown either in tons [t] or pounds [lbs].
3) Next to the word ∫CODE∫ , inside pointed brackets, it a 3>digit short code. Every short code describes an
crane equipment configuration. The valid equipment configuration and the corresponding short code for
the crane are taken from the craneπs load capacity book.
4) an 8>digit operating mode dependent organization number ( (B xxx yyyy for the set load capacity chart.
The first letter designates the calculation base for the load capacity charts (as used in the country of ope>
ration) for example ∫B∫ = DIN, BS 75% )., then the 3>digit number combination (xxx) describes the cra>
ne type (for example ∫104∫ = LTM 1030/2 ) . The 4>digit number block (yyyy) defines the correspon>

5.2 Indicator range for load chart values


This section is divided into the following areas:
1) Telescopic boom lengths in length unit meters ([m] or foot [ft]) in max. 7 columns per page. They form
the horizontal axle of the load capacity value field.
2) The operating mode dependent symbol ∫radius∫ in length unit meters ([m] or foot [ft]) in max. 19 lines of
radii values. They form the vertical axle of the load capacity value field.
3) Load capacity value field
In the columns below the telescopic boom lengths and the lines to the right of the radii values are the load
capacity values, which depend on boom length and radius.
4) Line * n * = Hoist cable reeving
The numbers in this line show, how often the hoist cable must be reeved between boom head and hook
block in order to lift the maximum load according to the corresponding load capacity chart column.
If a load capacity value in the column exceeds the load which can be lifted with the maximum reeving,
then an exclamation mark (∫!∫) is next to the reeving number to signify that special equipment is requi>
red to lift this load.

E
5) Line for special indicators

C
If a load chart consists of more than 7 columns, then it cannot be shown completely on the screen due to

5.3 The function key bar


The function key bar contains 8 function key symbols, which correspond to the function keys below, which me>
ans they either designate a function, which can be triggered with the function key (F1 to F8) or they change
their view or their contents and designate a change of operating mode or equipment configuration.
F1 Vertical paging
Due to the size of the screen, no more than 9 lines of the load capacity chart can be shown at the same ti>
me. If a chart consists of more than 9 lines, then they are shown on several pages. By pushing the but>
ton, the next page of the load capacity chart is shown, and the number of the current page is increased
by 1 in the ∫General information line∫. When the last page is reached and the F1 key is pushed, page 1
will reappear.

F2 To set the operating mode (main boom)


The various main boom operating modes of the crane can be entered here. The types are described in
the symbol with abbreviations for length data, for example "30 m T" =telescopic boom with a
maximum length of 30 m.

E
C
F3 To set the operating mode (auxiliary equipment condition)

VI
Here, the crane operator can select various auxiliary equipment types and type them in. The types are
described in the symbol with abbreviations for length and angle data (for example: ∫K 20∞ 8.6 m∫ =
ER
folding jib 8.6 m long, installed at an angle of 20∞ to the telescopic boom). .

Note: If function keys F2 and / or F3 are pushed, all operating mode and equipment

This means that for the same equipment configuration there is also a 360∞ load capacity
chart.
If the slewing platform in not pinned, the LICCON shifts automatically to the "weaker" lo>
ad capacity chart for the "360∞ working range" . The indicated short code differs then from
the short code for the "360∞ working range", as well as from the short code for the "!0∞ wor>
king range".
If the working range 0∞ is shown, then no corresponding 360∞ load chart is available. If
the slewing platform lock is not applied, then the crane CANNOT be operated any longer.
Note: If function keys F4, F5 or F6 are used, all operating mode dependent data (if it was not

pic boom or folding jib), which has been selected via the load capacity chart.
The number of hoist cable reevings shown in the symbol is increased by 1 every time the button is
ER
pressed, until a maximum value, which is preset for the corresponding operating mode; then the counter
starts again with the minimum value. When changing the operating mode, if the set value is within
this range (minimum value e actual value e maximum value), then it remains valid. Otherwise, it is
-S

set to the minimum value for the new operating mode.

F8 "O.K." Confirmation of set equipment configuration


The crane operator confirms the chosen equipment configuration and the chosen reeving (which
BH

matches the actual equipment configuration of the crane) with ∫O.K.∫ and transfers the parameters to
the ∫OPERATION∫ program.
The following must be noted:
E

> The equipment configuration input must be completely finished, which means a valid short code
must be shown and load capacity values are shown in the chart fields.
LI

Otherwise, "ERROR 50" will be shown.


> If required, the external condition for this equipment configuration must be fulfilled, (for example
superstructure lock).
Otherwise, "ERROR 51" will be shown.
> The crane may not be utilized by more than 20% in the previous configuration, or the load hanging
on the hook may not be heavier than 0.5 tons.
Otherwise, "ERROR 52" will be shown.
Otherwise, the program can only be switched to the ∫OPERATION™ program via the program key
P1 . In this case, the new equipment configuration settings are not taken over.

> If the crane is equipped with a sliding arm monitor, then the sliding arms must be extended to the
given support base for the selected load capacity chart.
Otherwise, "ERROR 155" will be shown .

Note: The crane operator must assure before changing into the operating view, that the selected
equipment condition ( short code ) and hoist cable reeving (s) have been accepted.

6.2 Alarm functions

The crane movements are monitored in their limit ranges. As soon as the limit is reached, the crane
operator is alerted by the following blinking symbols on the monitor:

1) Boom limit
The luffing range of the boom is limited upward as well as downward. If , when luffing the boom, an end
position for the selected load capacity chart is reached, then this symbol will appear.
Two upward directed arrows show that the movement was shut off because the upper limit had been
reached, it is still possible to luff down.
Two downward directed arrows show that the movement was shut off because the lower limit had been
reached, it is still possible to luff up.

2) Upper hoist limit on the telescopic boom


appears if the hook block runs against the upper hoist limit switch on the telescopic boom .

The monitor shows the function on winch 1 .

1) If the winch is operated with the reeving set in the equipment configuration view , then the indicated value
is the completed hook path from a predetermined zero point is shown in the indicated length units of meters
([m] or feet [ft])
The numbers in front of the period are shown with maximum 3 large figures.
The numbers after the period are shown in small figures.
(See also chapter 6.6 , description of function keys F1 and F2).

The prerequisite for the correct indication is the accuracy of the entered value and the actual number of ca>
ble skeins between boom head and hook block.

If the set reeving does not match the reeving of the corresponding winch, (for example: winch on mast stub,
but load capacity chart was set for main boom) , then the correct hook path can be calculated from the indi>
cated hook path as follows:

E
C
indicated hook path ¥ set reeving
correct hook path =

ring the hoisting procedure. Flexation and cable stretch are not taken into account.

The length indication (hook path indication) is only correct and the layer jump is only then correctly taken
into account if the winch has been calibrated and since that time, there was no power supply interruption to
R

the CPUs (™Cold start"). The calibration of the hook path indication is done by spooling the cable up / out
ER

until the calibrating switch is triggered.

Safe load indicator


The electronic safe load indicator turns all load moment increasing crane movement off as soon as the
permissible 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 free 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.

D A N G E R : The load moment limiter is a safety device, it may not be used as an operational
shut off control when extending the boom or luffing it with a suspended load .
Before operating the crane, the load moment limiter must be adjusted to the ac>
tual 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 gre>

E
at danger that the crane overturns and is damaged beyond repair, despite a
functioning safe load indicator system.

C
The safe load indicator system cannot monitor and control all possible opera>

movement with a freely suspended load.
If the button "luffing at overload" is held down and the manual control lever is moved in ∫luffing up∫
direction, then this crane movement can be carried out.

D A N G E R : IT IS NOT PERMITTED to lift a load with the hoist gear by ∫luffing the boom ™,
when it has already triggered the load moment limiter and therefore shut off the
crane movement.
This could lead to overload and cause the crane to topple over.

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.

4. Control of crane movements

LOAD SENSING System


Due to the hydraulic LOAD SENSING system, up to four working movements can be carried out at the
same time, i.e. up / down, slewing, luffing, telescoping.
If several working movements are carried out at the same time, the quicker working movement is
regulated back in favor of the slower working movement, i.e. that movement, which has been actuated
with the manual control lever deflected the farthest, is automatically reduced.

Release of crane control


The crane control is released when the seat contact switch (235) 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 (250, 256), the crane control is shut

DANGER: Before initiating the ∫slewing∫ crane movement , the crane operator must as>
sure that there are no persons or obstacles within the slewing range.
If this point is not observed, there is an increased risk of accidents.
In addition, before any slewing crane movement, an audible warning signal
must be given by pressing the horn .

> The slewing movement can be slowed down via the foot pedal (202) .

E
> If the switch (253) is actuated, the mechanical disk brake is applied immediately.

> Place the required hook block under the pulley head of the telescopic boom .
> On the hook block, remove the spring retainers and pull the cable retaining bars (2) .
> Start the engine.

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.

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

C
If it is unavoidable that the cable must be hand>guided on the telescopic

VI
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
ER
function is not operated properly and the person guiding the cable slips on
the telescoping boom.

> Start the crane engine, as described in chapter 4.03, STARTING THE CRANE.

DANGER: For safety reasons, do not remain or step into the driverπs cab (crane chassis)
during crane operation.
You could be injured by the running steering wheel .

4.1 Enter operating mode and equipment configuration into the ∫LICCON∫ safe load indicator sy>
stem
See also chapter 4.02 ™LICCON SAFE LOAD INDICATOR SYSTEM ™.

The operating mode and the equipment configuration must be reentered before starting to work or after
an equipment change according to the load capacity chart into the LICCON safe load indicator system.
If a function in the operating mode and (or) in the equipment configuration is changed, then this change
must be confirmed with the ENTER key.
If an acoustical signal can be heard after the ENTER key has been pressed, then this change was not ac>
cepted. In this case, it must be checked which of the entered functions is not correct.

E
DANGER: The proper function of the LICCON safe load indicator system and safe cra>

C
ne operation is only assured, if the data given in the load capacity chart has

VI
been entered correctly and matches the actual equipment configuration.
The crane operator is obligated to recheck the correct adjustment of the safe
ER
load indicator system before starting to work with the crane (even if he only
leaves the cab for a short time) .

The wind velocity warning device is integrated into the LICCON safe load indicator.
R
ER

> Turn the CRANE OPERATING VIEW on via program key ™P1™.
> Press function key ™F3™ to show the wind sensor symbol .
The wind speed will appear on the screen, it is depicted in meters [m/s] or foot [ft/s], depending on the
BH

unit of measurement used in the load capacity chart.


The maximum permissible wind velocity (same unit of measurement) shown below depends on the ope>
rating mode, the equipment configuration and the boom length.
E

If the current value exceeds the maximum value, an acoustical signal ªSHORT HORN´ will sound and
LI

the symbol will blink. However, the crane movement is NOT shut off.

DANGER: This safety device does NOT turn the crane off if the permissible wind veloci>
ty is being exceeded.
The operator must cease crane operation and lower the boom.
If this is not done, a serious accident can occur.

C A U T I O N: When operating the crane with the folding fly jib*, the removable wind sen>
sor must always be installed and properly connected and fully functional, ot>
herwise the ∫LICCON ™ safe load indicator will indicate a malfunction.

6. 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.

6.1 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.

E
At 1 to 3 sheave reeving, it is NOT permitted to add the rapid gear if the
crane is loaded with more than 50% of its maximum permissible load

C
carrying capacity at the corresponding reach.

VI
It is strictly prohibited to lift a load by luffing the boom, after the LICCON
ER
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.
-S

6.2 Pulling a load at an angle is prohibited!


The crane is designed to lift loads vertically.
R

Pulling at an angle causes horizontal stress in addition to the vertical stress, which the crane has been
ER

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
BH

the permitted stress level for the height of the boom head pulley.

DANGER: DO NOT pull a load at an angle! This is strictly Prohibited


E

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

6.3 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.

7. 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 swin>
ging.

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

7.1 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.

E
7.2 Moving persons

C
This crane is NOT designed to move any personnel.

VI
It is prohibited to move or let anybody ride along on the load being lifted.
ER
DANGER: Moving or letting any persons ride along on the load or load tackle is strictly
PROHIBITED.
-S

It could cause a serious accident.


R

7.3 Danger of being crushed


ER

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.

1. General Guidelines
The crane can be driven with a raised boom and with the attachment in place if it is positioned on level
ground and the axle suspension system is locked.

DANGER: When driving with the attachment in place, it is imperative to adhere to the
values and notes given on the following charts.
If this is not observed, there is a great danger of accidents as the crane might
turn over.

2. The following measures must be performed before driving


When planning to drive the crane from one area of the jobsite to another (after crane operation, before
supporting the crane), the following measures must be carried out.

2.1 Check the road bed


Before supporting the crane and driving, you must check the roadbed and driving surface to see if it is

E
level or if there are any dips or uneven areas.

C
DANGER: The driving surface may not slope by more than 3∞, even within the

VI
permissible tolerance range of +/> 0.10 m over 10 m length !
ER
2.2 Before supporting the crane
Make sure to level the vehicle via the automatic leveling system (79) + (93) in horizontal direction.
-S

Then you must lock the axle suspension by pressing the buttons (80) + (93). These selections are
prerequisites for driving the crane with the attachment in place.
Then complete the supporting procedure as described in chapter 3.05, THE CRANE AT THE JOBSITE.
R
ER

2.3 After crane operation


> Telescope the telescopic boom in all the way.
> Turn the crane superstructure to the position given in the charts, either to the front or rear.
BH

> Swing the locking lever!(212) down to lock the crane superstructure to the crane chassis.
> Set the telescopic boom or the folding jib* and the telescopic boom to the angle given on the
corresponding load capacity charts.
E

DANGER: Before turning the crane superstructure, make sure the crane is properly
LI

supported according to the load capacity chart and horizontally aligned and
give a warning sound by actuating the horn.
The sliding arms must be pinned.
After turning, the crane superstructure must be locked with the vehicle in
lengthwise direction.

2.4 Lower the crane onto the blocked axles


Carefully lower the crane onto the blocked axles by retracting the outrigger cylinders.

DANGER: While lowering the crane, you must continuously check the horizontal
position of the crane .

CAUTION: All wheels must touch the ground evenly, otherwise the axle suspension will
be damaged!
The driving surface must be level and horizontal and it must be able to carry
the axle load.

2.5 Off road driving


For off road driving, on unpaved surfaces and during winter conditions, additional gears can be added.
The maximum off road driving ability is obtained by adding the front axle drive. In additional the
transverse differential locks can be applied.

Note: The front axle can be added separately.


The transverse differential locks require the addition of the front axle drive.

CAUTION : To prevent damage to the drive axles, the following must be observed:

Turn differential locks only on or off if the vehicle is at a standstill!

The greatest danger for drive system damage is when the differential locks
are turned on if the drive wheels are turning.

Drive carefully (do not start out suddenly, do not use full power)

E
Do not drive in curves.

C
Use the differential locks only when driving on difficult terrain, such as

VI
sand, mud, slush, loose or slippery ground, etc.

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.

6.02 EMERGENCY CRANE CONTROL 025389>00

1. Crane chassis
In case of a failure of the electrical control of the solenoid valves for the hydraulic outrigger support
system and the rear axle steering, they can be manually controlled.

To actuate the individual movements, 2 each solenoid valves for the support system are installed on the
rear two sliding arm boxes and under the driver's cab and an additional solenoid valve for the rear axle
steering is installed on the right rear.

2 solenoid valves (Y23 and Y24) are installed on the left hand side under the vehicle, on the vehicle
frame. These two solenoid valves are installed for the hydraulic supply of the solenoid valves (Y22, Y26,
Y27, Y28, Y29, Y30, Y31, Y32, Y33)

Note: The emergency control of the hydraulic support system can only be actuated from the
opposite side of the vehicle.

C A U T I O N :When extending or retracting the outrigger support system without visual


contact of the corresponding support cylinder or the sliding arm, another

E
person must be available to guide the operator.
When extending or retracting the sliding arms, it must be assured that there are

C
no persons or objects within the danger zone.

VI
Prerequisites for the emergency control:
ER
The engine must be running and the hydraulic system in the crane chassis must be functioning.
-S

1.1 Emergency control of hydraulic outrigger support system

Note: For every movement, the solenoid valves (Y23 and Y24), as well as the solenoid valves
R

(Y26, Y27, Y28, Y29, Y30, Y31, Y32, Y33) assigned for that movement must be
ER

actuated.

> On the front side (A) of the two solenoid valves (Y23 and Y24), remove the union nut (a) with dust cap
BH

(b) and actuator pin (c).


> Screw on the emergency control union nut (S) onto the solenoid valves.
The crane hydraulic is thereby switched over to the crane chassis.
E

> Carry out the same procedure on the corresponding solenoid valve.
The hydraulic supply is thereby established.
LI

> After completion of the emergency control, remove the emergency control union nut (S) immediately!

Note: As soon as the pressure exerted by the emergency control union nut on one of the
solenoid valves stops, the movement stops.

> After emergency control, reinstall the union nuts (a) with dust caps (b) and actuator pins (c) in initial
position.

1.2 Emergency control of hydraulic rear axle steering


The emergency control of the rear axle steering (Y22) can be carried out accordingly.
The emergency control of the rear axle steering is used to return the rear wheels into ∫straight forward∫
position, in case the electrical control should fail while the wheels are turned in, preventing them from
being returned to straight forward direction. Letting the crane roll slowly facilitates the return. See also

2.1 Emergency control in case of LICCON system failure


If the LICCON system is not opertiona, the crane can still be taken down.

Prerequisite:
The engine is running.
The hydraulic system is fully functioning.

> Open the control box cover on the rear of the crane oeprator's cab.
> Remove the cover.
> Unplug the plug >X21B from >X21.
> Plug in plug >X21B in >XNOT.

> Hold the keyed switch (D) to the "right".


> Take down the crane equipment.

E
D A N G E R : In emergency operation, all safety devices are bypassed !

C
Bypassing the LICCON system is only permitted in emergency situation and

VI
only by authorized personnel. ER
Crane operation with bypass is strictly P R O H I B I T E D !

All crane movements must be carried out with utmost care, and another person
-S

must monitor the movements. This person must be in direct visual contact with
the crane operator!
R
ER

2.2 Self locking button (K) to bypass the electric crane control

Note: The button "K" (>S82) is used to bypass the electronic crane control in case of alternator
BH

failure, it is not part of the emergency control.

If the engine is not running or if the alternator fails, then the electrical crane control can be turned on
E

by actuating the bypass button "K" (>S82). In this case, the battery voltage may not drop below 20 Volt.
The bypass button is in the control box of the electric crane control (crane operatorπs cab).
LI

> Turn the bypass button "K" to position ∫I∫ (down).

Note: When the ignition is turned off, the bypass switch (>S82) returns to the "OFF" position.

C A U T I O N :For crane operation, the bypass button "K" must be turned off.

Cleaning and care of the crane

Care of sound>absorbing mats


Sound>absorbing mats in the engine area or other noise sources are an integrated part of the total design . They
have the task, together with all sound>aborbing material and the constructive design of the machine, to keep
the noise levels for vehicles > as specified by law > as well as noise levels on the work place within the specified
levels. They are an intergral part of the machine design and permission to operate. They may not be removed
and in case of damage, they must always be replaced with Original spare parts.

They are designed to be maintenance free. They are made with dirt, oil and water repelling surfaces, they are
fire retardent and in part, depending on the application, even non>flamable .

Therefore, these parts need no special care. Light deposits of dirt can be overlooked, since the acoustical
properties of the mats are not reduced.

Crude dirt deposits can be removed with suitable tools (soft plastic scrapers). Tools with sharp edges are
unsuitable. Steam cleaners may only be used with utmost case, i.e. with sufficient distance to the sound>

E
absorbing mats and low water pressure. Cleaning solutions may not be used for cleaning.

C
It is especially dangerous if contaminants contain solutions or foreign matter, such as oils (engine oils, gear oils

VI
or hydraulic oils) and fuel, since these substances could ignite and / or significantly affect the flame retardent
qualities of the mats.
ER
For that reason, if any such substances are found on these mats, the mats must be removed and replaced
immediately with Original replacement parts.
-S

Care of the driver's cab and the crane operator's cab


R

The steering wheel, center console, control panel cover, floor covering and dirty upholstery in the driver's and

When performing maintenance and repairs in the engine area, observe the following:

CAUTION : When working on the fuel system (for example when changing the filters),
the two shut off valves (in travel direction on the left, behind the 1st axle)
must be closed to shut off the supply and return fuel lines to prevent the fuel
tanks from running dry.
All maintenance tasks on the engine, fuel, oil and air filters must be
completed as noted in the separately issued ªMercedes Benz´ industrial
engine manual.

Never step on the fuel lines.


When changing the filter, spread out a layer of absorbent material before loosing the filter to absorb any
fuel which might drain out.
Dispose of the absorbent material properly.

DANGER: YOU MUST make sure that no Diesel fuel is spilled in the engine area and it

E
remains free of Diesel fuel, otherwise there is a risk of causing a

C
Fire!

9. 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.

E
If any damaged rim components are found, they must be replaced immediately with new components.

C
If chipped paint or minor rust is found, the rust layer should be removed and the area should be repaired

VI
with commercially available paint. You must make sure that the surface is smooth, especially on the
tire seating surface.
ER
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
-S

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
R

changes in the material, which can lead to sudden fractures.


ER
BH

10. Wheel alignment


The wheel alignment must be checked in regular intervals.
If this is not done, the tires will wear prematurely.
E

Recheck the wheels if the tires had been subjected to greater than normal stress, for example, if they hit
the curb.
LI

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

11. 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

E
the alternator.

C
The electrolyte level in the batteries must be checked once a month, in the summer and in warm

VI
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
ER
of the plates. Add distilled water, if necessary.

C AU T I O N : Do not use a metal funnel to add distilled water.


-S

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

2. Check the maximum tilt play on the slewing ring


Ball bearing type slewing ring connections (KUD = Kugeldrehverbingungen) have bearing plays,
which ensure good running properties and functional safety. The operational readiness of the large anti>
friction bearings is only limited by the maximum degree of wear of the running system. The wear limit
can be determined by measuring the tilt play of the installed bearing.
The tilt play should be checked every 1200 operating hours or at least 1x annually.

Danger limit 2.6 mm (Replace slewing ring)


The danger limit is the absolute wear limit or the maximum permissible tilt play, where the operating
safety is not yet reduced. If the tilt play has reached the danger limit or has exceeded it, then the
slewing ring must be replaced.

Danger zone: 2.5 mm + 0.1 mm (Tolerance)

DANGER: If the maximum permissible play is being exceeded by more than 15%, there
is an increased danger of causing a serious ACCIDENT!

E
The slewing ring must be replaced!

C
VI
2.1 Test procedure
ER
To obtain the least possible influence on the test values by distortions of the connecting design (chassis /
superstructure frame), the test should be made at close as possible to the test axis "Y" (center > bearing
running surface).
-S

If this is not possible, for example due to design reasons, then there might be a slight deviation of the
test results.
R

Example of test deviation


ER

Distance of test axis "Y" to "X": for example +40 mm


Slewing ring diameter : 1304 mm (LTM 1030/2)
Tilt play: 1.6 mm
BH

Test deviation approx. 0.05 mm

a) Support the crane properly to wide support base and align it horizontally.
E

b) Telescope the boom out to approx. 1/2 to 3/4 of the total boom length.
c) Luff the boom up all the way and turn the slewing platform to test point 1 .
LI

d) Attach the test gauge and set the pointer to "zero" .


e) Luff down the boom to the LML shut off limit.
f) Read the tilt play on the test gauge.
g) Repeat this test procedure (c to f) on test points 2, 3 and 4 .

Note: Measure only in lengthwise direction (symmetrical axis) of the slewing platform. The
test gauge should have an accuracy of at least 1/10 mm .

7.05 MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR THE CRANE SUPERSTRUCTURE 023365>01

3. Counterweight
After the first 1000 km, check the mounting screws, which were used to screw the counterweight onto
the slewing platform, to assure they are still seated tightly.
In addition, check them every 10 000 km or every 400 operating hours.

DANGER: If this is not observed, the tight seating of the slewing platform ballast is no
longer assured.

Due to oscillating movements during travel, the screws can be subjected to


fatigue., which can cause them to break.
This may cause the slewing platform ballast to fall down.

4. Slewing gear
Check the oil level on the sight gauge, with the slewing gear at a standstill.

CAUTION: Any loss of oil indicates a problem, which must be remedied immediately.

E

6. Hydraulics

6.1 Hydraulic hoses


R

The hydraulic hoses must be checked at least once a year by qualified personnel to assure they are in
ER

safe working condition.


BH

6.2 Changing hoses


The hoses and lines must be replaced periodically.
E

Due to our experiences with mobile cranes, we recommend the maximum usage:
LI

> in severe operation


at high operating temperatures and frequent movements approximately 3 years

> in normal operation approximately 6years

> in assembly operation with rare high output frequency approximately 12 years

CAUTION: The hoses on the intake lines of the oil reservoirs must be checked visually
once a month for cracks and damage, and, if necessary, they must be
replaced immediately.

6.3 Diaphragm reservoirs in the hydraulic system


The following diaphragm reservoirs are installed in the hydraulic system:
> Control pressure on control bar 10 bar
> Control pressure on basic block 8 bar
> Control pressure / hoist gear down 9 bar
> Control pressure / slewing gear (2 accumulators) each 9 bar
> Ballasting (2 reservoirs) each 40 bar

It is important that the pretension pressure given in the hydraulic schematic and on the accumulators is
available. It 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 pretension pressures must be
checked and corrected, if necessary.

E
C
6.3.1 Prerequisite:

VI
> The crane hydraulic (or engine) is turned off, which relieves the fluid side of the diaphragm reservoir .
ER
Check the pretension pressure with a testing and inflation device and correct the pressure, if necessary.
-S

DANGER: To fill the reservoirs, DO NOT use a i r or oxygen. This can cause an

EXPLOSION!
R

The pressure in the nitrogen cylinder may not exceed the maximum
ER

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.
BH

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

7. Telescopic boom
The internal sliding surfaces of the telescopic sections are lubricated via grease fittings in the bearing
pads .
These grease fittings are accessible from the outside via inspection ports on both sides of the telescopic
sections, if the telescopic sections are extended to 66.6% or 90%.
For the internal and external sliding surfaces, you must use a special grease, as specified on the
lubrication chart.

7.1 Telescoping cables


The telescopic sections II and III are pushed out synchronously with the telescopic cylinder by a cable
mechanism when the telescopic section I is being extended.
The telescopic sections II are extended via one 6 way flat cables (telescoping cables).
The telescopic section III is extended via two 2 way flat cables (telescoping cables).
The telescopic sections II and III are retracted by 3 return cables.
Via several inspection ports each on both sides of telescopic sections, it is possible to monitor the
telescopic and return cables without having to disassemble the boom.

E
AC AU T I O N : If a new cable is installed, then it must be the same make and strength and

C
the same diameter as the original cable.

VI
The telescoping cables ( flat cables) must always be replaced as a set.
ER
-S

7.2 Maintenance
The telescopic boom should be removed after 20 000 operating hours or once every 10 years, to properly
inspect the bearings, telescoping and return cables, cable pulleys and the telescoping cylinders.
R

The telescoping cables are pretensioned by the return cables.


ER

In case this pretension has disappeared due to stretching of the cables, then the return cables must be
retensioned.
BH

7.3 To retighten the return cables


Extend telescopic sections II and III by about 1 m and tighten the return cables on both sides evenly
E

with the adjustment nuts (1) , until the return cables are tightened.
Visually check the cables via the side openings in the telescopic sections.
LI

The return cables should not slack more than 10 cm over the total length.

CAUTION: 1. When tightening the nuts (1) ,make sure not to twist the return cable.
2. After every retightening, the sliding synchronization of the telescopic
sections II and III must be checked.

7.4 To check the synchronization


Carefully telescope the telescopic sections I, II and III in. The stop of telescopic section II must touch
telescopic section first .
If this is not the case, the stop of telescopic section II must be reinforced by inserting a plate or by
reducing the stop of telescopic section III.

7.5 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 16000 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.

E
C
3. Sleeve

VI
If there is any damage, corrosion or deformation on the sleeve.
ER
4. Settling of cone (2) in sleeve (1)
-S

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:


R

> dynamic changes of casting volume during cool down period


ER

> roughness of casting surface in the cable fitting


> stress which occurs during cable pull
BH

The settling of the cone can be determined by:


> measuring the settling
E

Number of cable strands in Max. permissible cone settling (L max.) when cable
LI

casting must be discarded

2 3 mm

6>7 5 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.

8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>08

General
This crane has been inspected before delivery at the factory, according to the valid ISO, FEM and DIN
standards or BGV D6 (BGG 905).

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, BGV D6.
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

E
part , the operator must have the crane inspected by an experienced technician
before putting the crane back in service.

C
VI
In addition, national and regional regulations apply. ER
Experienced technicians are persons who, due to their vocational background and experience, have sufficient
-S

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).
R

Expert engineers are engineers experienced in the design, construction and maintenance of lifting devices, such
ER

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.
BH

A repeat crane inspection is generally a visual inspection, where the experienced technician / expert engineer
inspects the condition of the crane and components. .
E

This inspection should prevent accidents through timely recognition of defects.


Any defects found by an experienced technician / expert engineer must be documents, remedied and
LI

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 !

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.

E
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.

C
VI
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
ER
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.
-S

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.
R
ER

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
BH

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 inspection of cranes, the outside and the inside of the
rims must 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, regardless 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:

473
8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>08

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.

E
2.1.5 Evaluation of foreign particles found in oil

C
Maximum permissible foreign particle parts are 0.15% of the total oil quantity, by weight.

VI
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
ER
contamination. Replace any damaged parts and fill the gear with new oil.

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


-S

2.1.6 Visual inspection


The gears must be checked for leaks, since any loss of oil > aside from environmental contamination >
R

can also lead to gear failure.


ER

2.1.7 Check brakes in gears


BH

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
E

due to increased oil contamination, check the brakes at the same time.
LI

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.

8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>08

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!

E
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

C
VI
2. Insufficient maintenance: oil has not been changed at the proper intervals
ER
3. Erroneous operation : extreme acceleration or deceleration of the load
Load fell into the cables
-S

4. Maintenance errors: Use of wrong oil


Wrong quantity
Contamination during oil change
R

5. Installation errors during repair or maintenance


ER

6. Leakages which were not taken care of

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 BGV
D8).

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.

E
From the determination of the actual operating conditions, choose one of the following load collectives

C
and enter them in the crane inspection book for the corresponding inspection interval.

VI
Note: For mobile cranes in assembly operation, we normally use the load collective L1

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.

E
2.2.2.2.3 Hour meter for both travel and crane operation

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

VI
Note: For mobile cranes in assembly operation, normally, 60% of the total operating
ER
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.

2.2.2.3 To determine the used portion of the theoretical service life


For an inspection interval i (max. 1 year after ISO 9927>1 or BGV D8), 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

E
Di (see example).

C
If the remaining theoretical service life is insufficient for the next operating period, then the winch

VI
must be reconditioned or overhauled. ER
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.
-S

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
R

manufacturer or by a person authorized by the manufacturer and the overhaul must be documented in
ER

the inspection booklet.

After the general reconditioning or overhaul, the manufacturer or the person authorized by the
BH

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.

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.

E
The superstructure hour meter read 800 hrs. Winch operation was about 20 % of that, which means

C
T1!= 160 hrs.

2nd Inspection (2nd year )


E

The crane has been utilized for unloading ships in the harbor:

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

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 .

E
Note: The initial measurements ∫y∫ or ∫y1∫ and ∫y2∫ are noted on the load hook. Measure

C
from point to point, as shown.

VI
ER
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.
-S

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 .

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
E
LI

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.

485
8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>08

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.

E
The deviation may not be more than 10% of the load capacity in these two extreme positions.

C
9.2 The given radius must be measured again for the longest boom for the smallest radius and at a boom

VI
angle of 45∞ .
The deviation may not be more than 10% of the measured radius.
ER
-S

10. Check the slewing ring connection


10.1 For tilt play measurement, see chapter 7.05
R
ER

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.
BH

11.1 The mounting screws of the rotary connections are pretensioned at the factory, and normally should not
loosen up during normal operation.
E

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.
LI

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.

486
8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>08

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∫ (BGV D29)).

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

E
> Total placement time

C
VI
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
ER
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.
-S

Any changes in cable behavior must be especially well monitored.


R

DANGER: As soon as the cable strands hit together above the hook block, there is a danger of
ER

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.
BH

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

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)

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

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

VI
> Slackening of cable structure (fig. 4)
ER
> Constriction (fig. 5)
-S

> Kinks and compressions (fig. 6+8)

> Pulls or remaining distortions (fig. 7)


R
ER

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.
BH

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

Place the cable

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.

E
The best procedure is to spool up the cable from a raised reel to the drum ( fig. 2).

C
Winding the cable in the same bending direction prevents additional cable tension and assures that the cable

VI
lays better on the drum. ER
CAUTION: Make sure that the cable is not pulled over the ground to prevent it from getting
dirty.
-S

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.
R
ER

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.
BH

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
E

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

E
reason, for longer lasting crane work, it is recommended to match the cable length to the task.

C
If certain section of the cable are more used than others then the cable should be turned over after a certain

VI
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
ER
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
-S

by shorting the drum end by a length which corresponds to 1/3 of the drum circumference.
R

Extension torsion in torsion free hoist cables and its elimination


ER

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.
BH

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.
E

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


LI

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.

E
In that case,the fixed point of the cable is easily accessible on the hook block and it can
easily be released.

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

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.
R

The rule is that for torsion compensation, the end of the cable must be turned against the direction of
ER

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
BH

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
E

would destroy the cable structure permanently.


LI

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.

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

E
its safety function:

C
1. Overload safety devices (overload motion cut devices) mut not be used in normal operations for switching off

VI
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.
ER
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.
-S

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
R

such duties, the overload safety device (safe load limiter) must not be used as a means of measuring the
ER

force.
BH

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
E

conformity with the Accident Prevention Regulations for Telescopic Boom Cranes.
LI

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.

514
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

E
> excessive braking forces
> loads dropping into the rope

C
> pulling at an angle

VI
> moving the crane to an area of ground with a greater slope
> ground which gives way
ER
> wind load
-S

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.
R

On no account may the overload safety device be switched off or overridden in order to lift a load which
ER

exceeds the maximum permissible load lifting capacity of the crane.


BH

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
E

(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
LI

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>04

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.

E
1.4 Check if electrical lines are still routed and mounted properly, with sufficient distance to exhaust pipes,

C
and assure that they are not damaged and still properly insulated.

VI
ER
1.5 To reduce noise emission, insulating baffle mats have been installed in the engine and gear
compartments on some crane models. They are fire retardent and, depending on the job location, even
inflamable.
-S

It must be checked if the baffle mats are in any way contaminated with solutions, covered with oil and
fuel or are damaged. In any of these cases, they must be removed immediately and replaced with
original replacement parts.
R
ER

When cleaning the engine or gear area, note the instructions for maintenance of these mats, see
chapter!7.01.

AND IMPORTANT SERVICE WORK TO BE PERFORMED 022103>04

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

E
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.

C
VI
ER
3. Important service tasks
-S

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

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

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
BH

and remedy the problem.


E
LI

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>04

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:

E
For disposal, undiluted antifreeze fluids / corrosion protective oils must be handled as special hazardous
material.

C
When disposing of used coolant fluids (mixture of antifreeze / corrosion protective oils and water,

VI
observe all state and local regulations applicable to the disposal of these items.
ER
-S

7. Rotating wheels

7.1 Tires used on crane vehicles are exposed to different loads and stresses, depending on the location of the
R

wheels on the crane, such as:


ER

> non > propelled steering and fixed axles.


> propelled steering and fixed axles and
> various wheel positions exposed to more or less load.
BH

Depending on the type of the tire tread, tires often wear differently.
E

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.
LI

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!
