Positioning chains

Spreader chains, description

The spreader chains pull the extension beams in and out from the attachment's main beam. The force from the spreader motor is transmitted to the extension beams via two chains. The chains run inside the attachment between the extension beams.
M

The chains are attached crosswise with one end attached to the bottom of one of the extension beams and the other along the side of the other extension beam. Openings in the sides of the extension beams and the attachment's main beam make it possible to access the chains for maintenance.

Positioning chains, checking

1 Before adjustment, the clearance between the slide plates and extension beams must be checked otherwise the chain's mountings will be damaged, see tab 7 Load handling, group 7.5.8 Positioning beam. 2 Start the engine and run in the positioning to the 20-foot position, and turn off the engine. 3 Check the C-C measurement between the twistlocks. C-C 20-foot: 58533 mm Check that both positioning beams run against the 20-foot stops and that the distance between positioning beam and the positioning motor's mounting is at least 3 mm. 4 If needed, adjust the distance by moving washers between the right and left 20-foot stop. The quantity of washers may not be changed.

NOTE
Note the distance that the stop is adjusted.
Run out the positioning slightly so that it is possible to move the washers.

5 Remove the cover plates on the attachment's main beam.

6 If the 20-foot stops have been adjusted, the positioning chains should be adjusted equally (as much).

NOTE
Check the chain tensioner's vertical position so that the chain runs straight toward the chain wheel.
7 Start the engine and run out the positioning to the 40-foot position, and turn off the engine. 8 Check the C-C measurement between the twistlocks. C-C 40-foot: 119853 mm

9 If needed, adjust the 40-foot stops. 10 Start the engine and run in the positioning to the 40-foot position. 11 Wait 2 minutes and then check the tension of the chains. Measure how much the chain can be pushed in at the hole closest to the centre of the attachment. When the chain is pressed in with a force of 250 N it should move 2040 mm from resting position. 12 If needed, adjust the tension of the chains. Start the engine and run out the positioning until the chain tensioner is visible in the inspection hole. Adjust the chains.

NOTE
005106

Adjust the chain max. 2 mm at a time on the chain tensioner.

13 Repeat steps 911 until the chain tension is correct. 14 If the machine is equipped with 30-foot or 35-foot stops: Start the engine and run out the positioning to the 30-foot or 35-foot position. Turn off the engine and check the C-C measurement between the twistlocks. C-C 30-foot: 89183 mm C-C 35-foot: 104883 mm

6 Remove the defective chain's chain wheel.

NOTE
Note down the position of the spacer ring.
If the chain wheel on the motor side shall be removed then the spreader motor must first be removed, see Spreader motor, replacement page 66.

7 Pull the chain out through the hole for the chain wheel so that the chain runs along the spreader beam.

8 Secure the chain temporarily along the cable rack to prevent the chain from jamming.

9 Pull out the spreader beam. Use a machine or similar to pull out the spreader beam from the attachment's main beam. Stop when the spreader beam is near the 40-foot stop.

NOTE
Support the spreader beam so that bending stresses are minimized. If needed, remove the upper slide plates to reduce the resistance.

This is important for easier installation of the chains.

23 Release the chain from the cable rack and thread it through the chain wheel's hole.

24 Install the chain wheel. The spacer ring should be fitted on the underside of the chain wheel. If the rotation motor was removed, install it, see Spreader motor, replacement page 66.

NOTE
Check that the chain runs straight into the chain wheels.

Slide plates, extension beams, changing

1 Machine in service position, see tab B Safety. 2 Take the strain off the slide plate in question. The pressure can be removed from the slide plates by raising the outer edges of the extension beam or inserting wedges to alter the position of the extension beam in the attachment's main beam.

The illustration shows the inner slide plates in the attachment's main beam. 3 Remove the attaching bolts for the slide plate's bracket. 4 Remove the guide plate's guide pin. 5 Pull out the slide plate with spacer plate and bracket.

The illustration shows the inner slide plates in the attachment's main beam. 6 Fit the new slide plate in the correct position. Check the clearance between the extension beam and slide plate. The clearance must be max. 1 mm with all slide plates installed. Use a spacer plate to adjust the clearance. 7 Fit the slide plate's bracket and guide pin.

Position sensor positioning

Position sensor positioning, description

1 2 3 4 5
Position sensor positioning indicates the position of the positioning beams. The position sensors are used to control positioning so that twistlocks fit on the container. The position sensors are located under the protective plate on the top side of the attachment's main beam on the left side. Sensor end-position (B769) indicates end-position for 20 and 40 foot containers. The sensor senses the end-positions of the positioning beams with two indicator plates on the top side of the positioning beam. The sensor is used to activate damping.

For the optional 30 foot stop an extra sensor is installed, Sensor position (B779), and two indicator plates. The sensor is used to activate 30 foot stop. The sensors are supplied with voltage and send a 24 V signal to Control unit attachment (D791-1) when the raised parts of the indicator plates pass the sensor. On the positioning beam there are indicator plates mounted so that the sensors give a signal when the positioning unit passes the sensor. The indicator plates' and sensors' positions are adapted so that the distance between the spreaders becomes 20, (30) and 40.

The signals can be checked from the diagnostic menu, see section 8 Control and monitoring system, group 8.4.9.5 ATTACH, menu 5.
