11 Working Instructions

11.1 Wind Speeds

(Z 10 147, Z 31 828)

The permitted wind speeds are to be strictly adhered to. The

crane is equipped with an air speed indicator (anemometer) for
the purpose of monitoring the wind speed.

It comprises two elements:

1. the rotor (Z 10 147), which must be fitted at the mounting

points provided on the head of the main boom, main boom
extension or fixed or luffing fly jib

and

2. the digital display (74) in the crane operator’s cab.

The rotation of the rotor which is caused by the wind is con-
verted into an electrical signal which is then shown on the
display (74) in the crane operator’s cab. There the crane op-
erator can read the wind speed in m/s.

For technical reasons, a value of 1.5 m/s is shown on the dis-

play (74) even when there is no current or when there is no
wind. This display does not necessarily mean that the sys-
tem is in operation. This must, however, be clarified before
work is commenced or the boom is erected.
This can be determined by the fact that the value shown
changes as the rotor turns.
If there is no wind, this can be simulated by manually turning
the rotor.

The following wind speeds are maximum values.

The applicable national regulations must also be adhered to.

11.1.1 Permissible Wind Speeds for Erection

With all crane configurations the boom system may only be

erected (raised from the ground), when the expected wind
speeds (weather forecast) are also permissible for operating the
crane (see Sect. 11.1.2).

11.1.2 Permissible Wind Speeds for Crane Operation

It is part of the planning for every operation to enquire at the

meteorological office responsible about the wind conditions
to be expected.

Crane operation is permissible up to a wind speed of maximum

9.81 m/s (wind force 5, Beaufort scale) for all crane configura-
tions -- with the exception of crane operation with luffing fly jib for
certain long lengths.

For operation with luffing fly jib, the maximum permissible

wind speed is 6 m/s for the following length combinations:
-- Length of the fly jib 65.0 m for all permissible main boom
lengths.
-- Length of the fly jib 54.0 m for the main boom lengths
43.9 m and 48.7 m.

In this instance, take note of the information given in the load

tables, as in some cases a reduction in the permissible wind
speed may result.

For the wind speeds of 9.81 m/s and 6 m/s listed in the load tables
(dynamic pressure 60 N/m2), a load surface area of 1.2 m 2/t ex-
posed to the wind is calculated.

For loads with greater surface area into the wind please consult
the crane manufacturer.

11.1.3 Impermissible Wind Speeds

If the wind speeds given in the load table or those stated below
are reached, the crane must no longer be operated.
The crane must be put into a non--operational condition. This ap-
plies both to prevailing and expected wind speeds. A weather
forecast must therefore be obtained from the meteorological of-
fice responsible.

The following also apply:

11.1.3.1 Main Boom Operation

Above 9.81 m/s (Force 5) crane operation must be halted. The

main boom -- unladen -- can still remain telescoped out.

Above 21 m/s (Force 9) the main boom must be retracted and

set down in the transport position.

11.1.3.2 Operation with Main Boom Extension or Fixed Fly Jib

Above 9.81 m/s (Force 5) crane operation must be halted. Main

boom with fitted additional equipment may -- when unladen -- ini-
tially remain telescoped out.

At 15 -- 18 m/s (wind force 7 -- 8) the main boom must be tele-

scoped in fully.

If possible the boom system should be placed into the wind.

The dismantling procedure for each item of additional equipment,

as described in the relevant sections of the operating instruc-
tions, must also be observed.

If wind speeds greater than 20 m/s are expected, the boom with
the additional equipment must be set down on the ground in
good time. If possible this should be carried out with the boom
and the equipment facing into the wind.

Above 20 m/s (Force 9) the boom system must already be set

down on the ground. The setting down procedure must therefore
be initiated in good time.

11.1.3.3 Operation with Luffing Fly Jib

Above a wind speed of 6 m/s the crane may no longer be oper-

ated for the following length combinations:
-- Length of the fly jib 65.0 m for all permissible boom lengths.
-- Length of the fly jib 54.0 m for main boom lengths 43.9 m and
48.7 m.

The main boom with additional equipment fitted may -- when un-
laden -- initially remain extended.

Above 9.81 m/s (wind force 5) the crane may no longer be oper-
ated, even with the normal length combinations. The main boom
with additional equipment fitted may -- when unladen -- initially re-
main extended.

With wind speeds of 15 -- 18 m/s (wind force 7 -- 8) the main

boom must be telescoped in as far as possible and the tip of the
luffing fly jib itself must be lowered to the ground.

If possible the boom system should be placed into the wind.

Observe the procedures given in Section 19 of the operating

instructions for dismantling the luffing fly jib.

If wind speeds greater than 20 m/s are expected, the boom with
the additional equipment must be set down on the ground in
good time. If possible this should be carried out with the boom
and the equipment facing into the wind.

Above 20 m/s (Force 9) the boom system must already be set

down on the ground. The setting down procedure must therefore
be initiated in good time.

 Working Instructions 11

At the operating site, remember to leave a large enough area

around the crane free for the main boom to be retracted and the
luffing fly jib to be set down should (strong) winds occur suddenly.

If the crane is to be switched off for longer periods, e.g. at

night, without supervision, the main boom must be retracted
and any attached additional equipment set down on the
ground.

If, due to the local conditions, it is not possible to set the

boom system down on the ground, a weather forecast must
be obtained for the whole period of work and taken into con-
sideration when drawing up the operating plan.
In the event of (strong) winds, a suitable and safe procedure
to enable the boom system to be lowered must be planned.

11.2 Crane Operation

(Z 31 364)

The crane may only be operated if:

∗ both axles (Z 31 364) are fitted in the main boom head.
∗ the engine of the crane chassis is switched off.
∗ the cab of the crane chassis is closed.
∗ the control panels for the outriggers are locked away.

To increase the operating speed, three crane movements can be

carried out simultaneously and independently of each other.

Before each load case, the corresponding limit switches must be

checked to ensure that they are functioning correctly.

For main boom operation, ensure that the electric lines are con-
nected correctly (for notes on closing the safety chain see Sect.
10.4 of these operating instructions).

The procedures for crane operation with equipment (e.g. main

boom extension) are described in the corresponding sections.

 Working Instructions 11

For operation with the main boom extension locked in the tele-
scoping position, the loads given in the load tables are reduced.

The weight of the hook blocks and sling ropes must also be sub-
tracted from the load values given in the tables.

Crane operation with additional equipment fitted

(Z 31 362)
∗ A load should not be raised on the main boom and main boom
extension simultaneously unless the total load does not ex-
ceed the permissible load for the main boom extension when
the position of the main boom remains unchanged and the
ropes are parallel, i.e. not at an angle.
Double hook operation should, however, be avoided. Com-
ponents must not be turned, as this always pulls the ropes at
an angle.

(Z 31 363)
∗ When raising a load on the main boom with the main boom
extension fitted in operating position and unladen, reduced
loads must be allowed for (see “Notes on the Load Capacity
Tables”).

 Working Instructions 11

DANGER OF TIPPING !
There are load tables which are only suitable for the lim-
ited operating range 270° (Z 31 812, NOT from operator’s
cab ”1”). The superstructure may then only be slewed
within this area.

Crane operation is only permitted when the crane is resting on the

outriggers.

If an outrigger support area is not given in the load tables, the

crane is to be operated on fully extended outriggers (outrigger
support area: 8.5 m, extended to the corresponding colour mark-
ing).

Operate the slew gear and the slew brake with care. Select a low
slew speed and brake carefully.
This especially applies for operation with the main boom exten-
sion or fly jib or particular local conditions.

Crushing may occur.

Despite the use of automatic safety equipment, the load

cannot always be prevented from swinging when switch-
ing off.
This can only be prevented by suitably accelerating or
carrying out movements at suitable speeds.

 Working Instructions 11

To allow rapid reaction to outside influences working on the

crane, the drive mechanism of the crane must never be switched
off, nor the crane operator’s cab be left unoccupied, when a load
is still attached to the crane.

An exception is only permitted in an emergency. To avoid

a dangerous situation arising, a last option is to switch
off the drive unit (diesel engine) using the emergency
stop switch in the crane operator’s cab. If possible, any
movements already started should be completed using
the control levers beforehand.

The erect crane may only be left without supervision of a trained

crane operator if certain conditions are met (see operating
instructions of the crane chassis, Sect. 14 ”Parking”).

To prevent unintended crane movements, both control levers are

equipped with an additional button (”28”, ”30”) (dead man’s
switch).
A crane movement can only be carried out when this button is
pressed.

11.3 Checking the Safety Measures

Before work is commenced, ie before a load is raised, the prereq-

uisites listed below must be fulfilled.

Crane condition
-- correctly supported on outriggers with axles raised.
-- all four outrigger struts extended to the outrigger support area
given in the corresponding load table.
-- all four outrigger struts secured with bolts to prevent them
from displacement.
-- all four vertical outrigger cylinders extended so that all axles
are relieved of strain, ie that none of the tyres are touching the
ground.
-- support plates secured.
-- horizontally aligned.

Local conditions
-- sufficient load bearing capacity of the ground.
-- sufficient clearance to ditches and slopes.
-- no live electric lines in the operating range of the crane.
-- no obstructions which may hinder the necessary crane
movements.
-- Location selected so that the crane can be operated with as
low a working radius as possible.
-- In case of poor visibility or darkness, the area immediately in
the vicinity of the crane operator’s cab, the outriggers and the
winches must be lit up with the spot lights located on the ve-
hicle (outside lighting rear, outside lighting front, outside light-
ing lateral). These can be switched on either from the super-
structure or the chassis.
The areas beyond this (load, load path, slewing range, drive
path etc.) must be illuminated with suitable equipment inde-
pendent of the crane. The crane operator is responsible for
such lighting.
