Safety - Safety instructions
1.6 Safety instructions
1.6.1 General
Danger area The danger area is the area around the machine where persons
may come into contact with:
 machine motions while in operation
 working equipment and its attachments
 swinging out or dropping loads
 dropping working equipment.
DANGER
There must be no-one within the danger area!
The machine operator must issue warning signals where persons
are endangered. If the persons do not leave the danger area despite
the warning, work must be stopped.
To avoid crushing hazards by solid components, e.g. building structures,
excavation banks, scaffolding or other machines, a sufficient safety
clearance (at least 500 mm) must be maintained. If the safety clearance
cannot be maintained, then the area between the solid structure and
the working range of the machine must be cordoned off.
If the machine operator's vision of driving and working range
is restricted, then he must be guided.
Gallery = Operator DANGER

catwalk
Risk of falling!
A maximum of 200 kg (440 lbs) is permitted per segment of grid
iron on the gallery (= operator catwalk). Overloading the gallery can
result in damage to the structure and result in serious personal injury.
Inspect the gallery every 3 months for cracking or general damage
and repair immediately if found.
1-4 870 / 01.2010

Personal protective While working on the machine, the operating personnel are obliged
equipment to wear personal protective equipment required by national regulations
(e.g. protective helmet, ear protection, protective gloves, safety shoes).
Eye bolts are installed as safety eyelets on the upper structure.
The safety eyelets are used for hanging a safety belt to protect
personnel from falling from the machine. At working heights of 2.00 m
or more, SENNEBOGEN recommends the use of a safety harness
to prevent falling. At working heights above 3.00 m, using a safety
harness is legally required.

1.8.5 Refrigerant
General
WARNING
Mixing refrigerants and adding cooling system sealing agents or
antifreeze that contains sealing agents is not permitted.
By filling or mixing different types of refrigerant or refrigerant additives,
the mixture can gel or build up to plug the cooler, resulting in the engine
overheating or the cooling system failing and therefore causing
damage to the engine.
Note
Observe the refrigerant label in the cooler area.
If the ambient temperature at the work-site is under this value (-36 °C

(-34 °F)), observe the operating instructions of the motor manufacturer
or contact SENNEBOGEN Customer Service before start-up.
Note
If only a small amount (up to max. 5 l/1.3 gal.) is required to fill the water
cooling circuit and no suitable refrigerant is available, you can add
clean water in the mean time.
However, we recommend that you test the concentration as soon as
possible before temperatures drop down to freezing. In some cases,
you must refill with the respective refrigerant so that the required
mixture to prevent freezing is achieved again.
The refrigerant is not only required to guarantee protection from
freezing, it also performs the very important task of protecting against
corrosion. This also requires checking the correct concentration and
adding when necessary.
CAUTION
Observe the instructions in the engine manufacturer operating
instructions. These are for the operational safety of the machine.
1 - 22 870 / 01.2010
Water:
Note
 Use clean, neutral, filtered, fairly soft fresh tap water. SENNEBOGEN
recommends distilled water as the best option.
 Please note that Caterpillar specifies using distilled water!
 Do not use ditch water, industrial drain water, salt water, sea water
or rain water.
 Always fill using a water-refrigerant mixture. Observe mixing ratios.
Mix before filling!
Ensure that the water has the following characteristics:
pH value 7-8
Chloride content max. 40 ppm
Sulfate content max. 100 ppm
Water hardness 3-12 °dGH
Ca + Mg max. 70 ppm
Note
Observe the recommended mixing ratio (see manufacturer's
specifications). If the refrigerant concentration is too high, the cooling
and antifreeze characteristics will worsen.
CAUTION
Observe the specifications of the refrigerant manufacturer.
WARNING
Never fill with refrigerant when the engine is overheated. This will
damage the engine. Allow the engine to cool first.
WARNING
Observe refrigerant manufacturer instructions for using the refrigerant
to avoid possible danger to health or environmental hazards.

SENNEBOGEN When using the grab operation, leave the grab control switched on
recommends: constantly. This ensures availability of the functions specified above.
CAUTION
The machine liter levels and pressure specifications that are set at the
factory must be observed when mounting/replacing attachments, in
order to avoid damaging the attachments through excess pressure or
an excessive number of liters.
If necessary, consult SENNEBOGEN Customer Service!
Grab function When the grab function is switched off, accidentally actuating the
functions "Grab open/Grab close" is prevented in magnetic plate mode.
Overload When the Overload warning unit is activated, a green LED is

illuminated on the respective switch. If the machine is in a critical area
(load too heavy, boom/jib extended too far), a horn signal sounds.
Magnet unit Using the Magnet unit switch, the optional magnet unit can be activated/
deactivated.
Auxiliary limiting Use the Auxiliary limiting switch to activate/deactivate the optional
auxiliary limiting for "Hoist Up" and/or "Extend stick" (Section 5.3.14).
This is important when e.g. working with height limitations.
GLR The GLR system keeps the set engine speed constant under load
stresses. If a problem occurs in the GLR system, it can be deactivated
with the switch. The machine can be further operated with minimal loss
of power.

Inspecting, maintaining and cleaning - Hydraulic system
6.5 Hydraulic system
6.5.1 Safety instructions

Check the machine using the safety instructions before starting work
on the hydraulic system.
DANGER
 Work on hydraulic systems may only be carried out by trained
specialists with special knowledge and experience with hydraulic
systems.
 Wear personal protective equipment (e.g.protective helmet,
ear protection, protective gloves, safety shoes).
 Warning: High oil pressure!
The hydraulic system is subject to high pressure. Serious injuries
can be caused by escaping hydraulic oil when loosening a hydraulic
connection or if a leak should occur.
Only carry out work on the de-pressurized hydraulic system.
 The pilot control is equipped with a pressure accumulator, which
remains under high pressure even after the engine is shut down.
Therefore, de-pressurize the pressure accumulator.
 Danger of injury!
If leaks are present, hydraulic oil will escape under high pressure.
Hydraulic oil emerging under high pressure will penetrate the skin
and cause severe injuries.
Danger of infection. In the case of injury contact a physician
immediately!
 Danger of injury from scalding
The hydraulic oil can reach temperatures of 70°C (158°F)
and above. Only carry out maintenance work once the hydraulic
oil system has cooled down.
 Danger of injury from rotating parts.
Only carry out maintenance work when the engine is switched off,
and then only if you are sure that the fan wheel has come to a stop
and there is no risk of automatic start-up.
Before starting up again, ensure that:
– No items (e.g. tools) are in the vicinity of the fan wheels or could
fall into this area as a result of vibrations, for example
– The protective features have been installed.
6 - 14 870 / 08.2009
6.5.2 Hydraulic cylinder

Pressure cylinders are subject to slight leakage. Remove excess
leakage oil residue with a cloth. Dispose of oil-soaked cloth as
hazardous waste.
The sliding surfaces of the piston rods are chrome-plated. Heavier
leakage indicates damaged sliding surfaces or defective seals.
Cleaning hydraulic cylinders:
 Do not use sharp edged tools, caustic fluids or abrasives.
 Wash down piston rods regularly with steam cleaner.
Do not direct the jet straight at the sealing elements.
 Apply preservative to extended piston rods after cleaning.
This protects the surface from the effects of the environment
and weather.
6.5.3 Threaded unions

Check hydraulic threaded unions and couplings regularly for leaks.
Seal points of leakage and remove oil residue.
Leaking hydraulic oil endangers the environment and presents
a hazard due to danger of slipping.
Always seal released threaded unions immediately at both sides
with stoppers.
6.5.4 Hydraulic hose lines
Storage and service life Even when used correctly at permissible loads, hoses and hose lines
are subject to natural wear and tear. Their service life is therefore
limited.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that hose lines are replaced
at suitable intervals, even when there are no obvious defects to
be seen in the hose line.
Hose lines must be replaced at least every six years, including
a maximum of two years storage time, where applicable.
Inspection Hose lines should be inspected by a specialist technician at least

once a year to ensure that they are safe for further use.
Remedy any defects discovered immediately.
870 / 08.2009 6 - 15
Defects Replace hose lines in the following cases (see also DIN 20066):
 Outer layer damaged up to the lining (e.g.chafe marks, cuts, cracking);
 Outer layer embrittlement (cracks appearing in hose material);
 Deformation, which does not conform to the natural shape of
the hose or hose line, both when under and not under pressure,
or when bent (e.g.layer separation, formation of blisters);
 Leaks;
 Damaged or deformed hose fittings (sealing function affected);
 Hose has separated from fittings;
 Corrosion of fittings which reduces function and strength;
 Installation requirements ignored;
 Storage times and/or service life exceeded.
6.5.5 De-pressurizing the hydraulic system

De-pressurize the hydraulic system as follows:
1 Lower attached loads and boom to the ground.

2 Shut down engine, move ignition key immediately back
to position "1".
3 Move both control levers in the driver's cab in all directions
several times. This releases the pressure of the main hydraulics
and the pressure in the pilot control pressure accumulator.
4 Pump the brake pedal several times. This releases
the pressure in the pressure accumulator.
5 Apply and release the parking break several times.
This releases the pressure in the pressure accumulator.
6 If necessary, actuate the rotary selection switch for the
travel speed several times. This releases the pressure
in the pressure accumulator.

Setup work - Installing large roller bearings, flange connections
9.4 Installing large roller bearings, flange

connections
9.4.1 General information

This supplementary information applies to the assembly of large roller
bearings and flange connections (FV). This concerns e.g.:
 Flange connection between the upper structure and the slewing gear
 Flange connection between the upper structure and the slewing ring
 Flange connection between the slewing ring and the undercarriage
 Flange connection between the slewing ring and intermediate ring
and the undercarriage
 Flange connection between the slewing ring and mast and
undercarriage
 Flange connection between the mast and mast.
DANGER
 Make sure that there is no-one within the danger area before starting
assembly!
 Pay attention to dimensions and weight according to the operating
manual.
 Observe general safety instructions for the assembly according
to the operating manual.
9.4.2 Preparatory measures

In order to guarantee a secure connection between the individual
components, several important preparations are required:
 The flange surfaces on the slewing ring are to be kept free
of corrosion.
 Make absolutely sure that all surfaces including holes, e.g. the lower
assembly flange are free of grease. If there is grease in the holes,
there is a danger of pushing the grease into the threads in the
slewing ring with the screws.
This additional grease in the bolt/screw connections can greatly
decrease the required friction under certain circumstances.
The screw can be damaged without your recognizing it or it could
even break eventually.
 No additional oil or grease is to be used for bolted connections
e.g. "lower assembly flange-slewing ring, mast-slewing ring".
The screws and stud screws are to be installed as delivered.
9 - 12 870 / 08.2009
9.4.3 Assembly
There are a few important points to observe for assembly:
 Slewing gear bolts that are already used are not to be reused under
any circumstances.
 Clean all contact surfaces of the flange connections of any oil and
grease.
 Galvanized or coated surfaces must be treated previously with
AKTIVATOR T 747 because LOCTITE – 586 is only permitted
on activated surfaces.
 LOCTITE – 586 is to be applied on a surface with a brush.
 Centering pins are not to come into contact with Loctite since
disassembly can become difficult
--> Coat centering pins with wax or grease!
 Tighten fixing bolts according to the torque specifications in alternating
sequence (i.e. 2nd across from the 1st). After approx. 2 hours, the
Loctite begins to adhere. Full strength is achieved after 12 – 24 hours.

9.4.4 Assembling mast

Danger
 Place machine on firm, completely horizontal subgrade.
 The (stationary) sub-frame must be aligned horizontally on all sides
before mounting the mast.
 The ballast must be attached to the chassis before assembling
the mast.
Caution
When assembling the mast, ensure that there is no one in the danger
area below the machine/mast.
1 Raise the machine using a suitable auxiliary crane in order

to assemble the mast.
