2.01 ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS 021178>04

26
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.

The steering system, the service brake, parking brake and retarder will then no
longer conform to regulations!

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

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

> it is reeved not more than 4 times,


> if it has been marked by the manufacturer on the data tag with he letter ∫E∫ for ∫entschßrft (defused)∫ and
> if the cable was attached to the front towing eyes and if the hook is held with an auxiliary cable and
attached to the towing coupling .

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

Mast tip*

If a mast tip is installed, then > to prevent obstruction of the driverπs field of vision > it should be turned from the
working position to the transport position and secured in this position with pins and spring retainers.

2.02 INSTRUCTIONS ON RUNNING>IN 021617>02

Instructions on running>in

CAUTION: The crane is not yet running>in

For this reason, the following instructions must be followed:

1.) During the first 2000 km (1,240 miles), the mobile crane must not be driven at more than 3/4 of its maxi>
mum speed in each gear (engine speed = max. 1900 rpm)
> Full throttle is permitted only briefly when driving or traffic conditions demand.
> At the end of the running>in period, gradually increase to full power operation.

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

3.) 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).

> Check coolant and oil levels in the engine.


> Check oil level in power>shift (Hi>Lo) or automatic transmission.
> Check engine, transmission and axle mountings for secure seating and for leaks (visual check).
> Check drive shafts for secure connection.
> Check all other chassis components for secure mounting.
> Check air pressure and conditions of the tyres (visual check).

Breaking in the brake pads

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

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
high speed.

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

2.03 OPERATIONAL PLANNING 021674>00

32
2.03 OPERATIONAL PLANNING 021674>00

Operational planning

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

> Electrical overhead wires (complete with voltage data)

> Space requirements at the operating sites

> Movement restrictions due to surrounding structures

> Weight and dimensions of load(s) to be lifted

> Required lifting height and radius

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

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

> Hook blocks/load blocks

> Auxiliary telescopic boom

> Lifting / slinging tackle

> 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!

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 in the following a few important safety notes.

65% of all accidents involving vehicle cranes is due to 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,
> loose cable formations
Overloading
Driving too fast with a load, or setting up and loading on an uneven surface.
Improperly slinging a load.
Operating in unsuitable conditions, especially pulling at an angle or fixed loads coming loose.
Wind on suspended load.
Improperly driving on public roads without a load, for example, engine or transmission overloaded.
Collision with bridges, ceilings, high>voltage wires.
Insufficient support; support base beneath the supports not sufficient in capacity.
Improper assembly/disassembly of telescopic booms.

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


> Lack of oil, grease or antifreeze
> Accumulation of too much dirt
> 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.

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.

Slopes and trenches


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

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

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 give way.

2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>03

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 fixed 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.

C) Artificially compacted ground

1. asphalt 5 > 15

2. concrete concrete groupe B I 50 > 250


concrete groupe B II 350 > 550

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.

2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>03

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

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

Always extend all 4 sliding arms and support jacks, including those on the side opposite the load. If only the
sliding arms and support jacks on the load side are extended, the results could be dangerous as:

DANGER: 1. The load hanging on the hook tensions the hoist cable and the telescopic boom
and also the 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
lifted 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
necessary to slew the load to the opposite side.
Therefore the crane may topple over.

3. When turning form longitudinal direction, the crane can tip over due to the
momentum of the boom or counterweight.

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.

Checking safety measures

Crane supported

> Is axle suspension blocked?

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

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

> Are the sliding arms secured with bolts?

> Are the support pads secured?

> Is the crane horizontally aligned?

> Is there sufficiently safe distance from slopes and trenches?

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

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

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

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

43
2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>03

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 taken from the load
capacity table.

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

Actual useful load of the crane Table value = 29.590 kg

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

Ballast
The required ballast is dependent on the load to be lifted and necessary boom radius for operating with that
load. Data in the corresponding load capacity table is decisive in selecting ballast.

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

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.

44
2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>03

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.

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

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
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.

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.

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
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
Rated Voltage
[m] [ft]

up to 1 kV (1000 V) 1 3

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!

2.04 SAFETY>TECHNICAL NOTES 021675>03

A suspended load is always a risk


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. 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.

DANGER: 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.

When operating in foreign countries, always observe NATIONAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.

Pre>checks before start up


Before starting the vehicle, the following pre>checks must be carried out:

Note: For a more complete description of the below listed pre>check procedures, refer to
Chapter 7.04, ™MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES > CRANE CHASSIS™.

Check oil levels and filters


> Oil level on travel and crane engine
> Oil level on automatic transmission
> Oil level on hydraulic tank for steering, outriggers, and axle suspension
> Filter on hydraulic oil tank for steering

Check fuel level


Check the fuel level on the fuel gauge in the driverπs cab.

Check the coolant level


Add enough coolant via the filler nozzle to fill the coolant reservoir to the rim .

DANGER: NEVER check the coolant level if the engine is still warm! Check the coolant level
ONLY when the engine is cold, hot coolant fluid can cause serious skin burns!

Check the tires


Check the condition of the tires, including the spare.

DANGER: There is an increased danger of accidents if the tires are damaged, the treads are
worn and/or the air pressure in the individual tires varies!

Check the mounting of the counterweight


Check the locking lips of the counterweight plates and the locking receptacles for the counterweight plates for
damage.

DANGER: If the locking lips are broken off or if there is any distortion on the mounting base,
then the tight seating of the counterweight plates is no longer assured.
As a result, the counterweight plates can fall off.

If there is any damage, the locking system or the counterweight plates must be replaced.
If one of the brackets is bent, the depository bracket must be aligned or replaced.

3.03 AXLE SUSPENSIN / LOCKING SYSTEM 023404>00

Description
All axles are provided with hydro>pneumatic suspension with automatic leveling.
Each axle is connected with the frame via 2 hydraulic cylinders, which act as suspension and leveling elements.
Axles 1 and 2 as well as 3 and 4 form axle groups with 2 hydro accumulators each, axle blocking valves and
hydraulic cylinders.
The entire vehicle can be raised or lowered via this hydro>pneumatic suspension system, for example to reduce
the craneπs clearance height , or it can be raised to improve the vehicles fording power.
In addition, the entire vehicle can be raised or lowered either on the left and right front or on the left and right
rear .
The axles can be independently suspended with axle pressure compensation or locked.

To raise the vehicle: in suspended condition, push buttons (122, 123, 124 or 125 ) on the ∫rear∫ ,
To lower the vehicle: in suspended condition, push buttons (122, 123, 124 or 125 ) on the ∫front∫.

Description of gear selector (110)

R (Reverse travel)
Changing from neutral to reverse, reverse to forward or vice versa may only be done when the vehicle is at a
standstill, the parking brake is applied and at low idle speed!
If the Reverse gear is turned on, the SELECT range selection indicator and the MONITOR show an "R" .
Wait for 1 to 2 seconds after changing gears before accelerating.

N (Neutral)
This position is used to start the engine, to control the vehicle components and if the engine is run at low idle
speed for a longer period.
On the SELECT range selection indicator and the MONITOR appears an "N", if the gear in in Neutral.

CAUTION : For safety reasons, apply the parking brake before starting the engine.
Do not let the vehicle run out in low idle (SELECT indicator on "N") , this eliminates
the engine braking action, and the gear lubrication is insufficient.

Note: Before changing from "N" to "D" or "R", it must be assured that the manual engine regula>
tion (manual gas lever 132) is on low idle (downward).
Changing from "N" to "D" or "R" is blocked as long as the engine RPM is higher than low
idle RPM. You must shift back to "N" and reduce the engine RPM before the gear can be
shifted.
If the shift procedure is blocked on "D" or "R" , then the SELECT number in the indicator
blinks.

D (Continuous driving in the S1 and S2 program)


In this gear selection, 6 forward gears are available.
At a certain RPM and speed, the torque converter is turned off (bypassed) in gears 2!.!.!.!.!6 and a simple mecha>
nical power transfer from the engine to the gear is established.
The return shift is done in reverse order.
In both programs, no ªlock>up´ occurs in 1st gear , the vehicle drives constantly via the converter.

Exception: In manual selection of the 1st gear, the converter bypass coupling !(WK) is closed.

The SELECT range selection indicator shows the highest usable gear and the MONITOR shows the actually pla>
ced gear.

Description of gear selector, continuation

Travel stages 5, 4, 3, 2
There are times when road or traffic conditions require a limitation of the automatic shifting procedure to a lo>
wer range. These ranges also offer better engine braking action.
Push the arrow key ≠ (up) or Ø(down) to get to the desired gear. The SELECT indicator shows the selected and
the MONITOR indicator shows the just placed gear .

CAUTION : When selecting a lower gear, the gear might not shift back until the travel speed has
been reduced sufficiently.

"5" (Continuous travel with limited high speed)


In this gear selection, the gear between the 1st and 6th gear are shifted automatically, the 6th gear is locked.
Push the arrow Ø(down) until the number "5" appears in the SELECT window.

"4" (Continuous travel with limited high speed )


In this gear selection, the gear between the 1st and 4th gear are shifted automatically, the 5th and 6th gears
are locked.
Push the arrow Ø(down) until the number "4" appears in the SELECT window.

This gear selection can be recommended for routes, where the automatic would continuously shift back and
forth between the 4th and 5th gear, or on a slight downhill route, to prevent that the automatic shifts up into
the 5th and 6the gear.

"3" (Slow driving, city driving)


The 4th and 5th gears are locked.

Push the arrow Ø(down) until the number "3" appears in the SELECT window.

The starting procedure occurs in 2nd gear, then shifts up automatically to the 3rd gear. This gear selection
should also be used before driving downhill.
It assures the best possible engine braking action.

"2" (Slow driving)


In this travel stage, only the 2nd gear is shifted. Up shifts are suppressed .

Push the arrow Ø(down) until the number "2" appears in the SELECT window.

Use this gear when driving uphill or downhill, preselect the 2nd gear in time.

"1" (Creeper gear)


All other gears are locked.
Push the arrow Ø(down) until the number "1" appears in the SELECT window.

Use this gear when you must drive extremely slow (slush, snow) or when load and terrain dictate it (for example
when driving up or down a steep hill).

Travel programs (S1) and (S2)


To drive the crane from the driverπs cab, 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear and two travel programs (S1) and
(S2)are available.

The travel programs (S1) and (S2)are preselected with the MODE key (113) .
In both programs no ªlock>up´ occurs in 1st gear , the vehicle drives constantly via the converter.

Exception: In manual selection of the 1st gear, the converter bypass coupling !(WK) is closed.

Note: The change from (S1) to (S2) or reverse can be made during travel.
When using the rear axle steering, after actuating the switch (91), the up shift lock is acti>
vated, which means that only the 1st and 2nd forward gear as well as the reverse gear are
available.

Program MODE ON=> Power (S1)


MODE key (113) pressed, release of gears 1 . . . . 6
This travel program is a more powerful travel program (with higher fuel consumption) and should only be tur>
ned on before driving uphill.
Full load upshifts occur in all gears at and engine RPM of 2030 . . . . 2050>1.

Back shifts
The gear shifts back automatically only to the 2nd gear, the 1st gear must be selected manually by pressing the
arrow key Ø (down) three times.

Program MODE OFF=> Economy (S2)


MODE key (113) not pressed , release of gears 1 . . . . 6
This travel program has been designed as an economy travel program,
Full load upshifts occur in all gears at an engine RPM of approx. 1900>1.

Engine brake operation


The gear shifts only back into the 2nd gear in engine brake operation, the 1st gear must be selected manually.

Example:

SELECT MONITOR
I I
6 => 4 actual travel condition
I I
2 => 4 Display indicator when engine brake is actuated

In this case, to select the 1st gear, the arrow Ø (down ) must be pressed 5¥ or continuously until 1=>4 appe>

When the rear axle steering is turned on, the up shift lock from 2nd gear or driving from the superstructure is
active in all travel conditions.

Indication in Display in program MODE ON=> Power (S1). (chassis and superstructure)

Indication in Display in program MODE OFF=> Power (S2). (chassis and superstructure)
SELECT MONITOR
in 2nd gear: 2 => 2

Driving, shifting
The travel speed is regulated via the gas pedal (5) and the gear selector (110) of the automatic transmission.
To protect the engine from overspeeding, do not shift back until the highest speed of the next lower gear is rea>
ched. If necessary, slow down the crane with the service brake to obtain this speed.

CAUTION : When the vehicle is at a standstill, the engine must run on low idle and be in neutral
"N" , before shifting into another gear.
Do not give gas during or shortly before shifting from "N" into another gear, this eli>
minates the engine braking action, and the gear lubrication is insufficient.

Be aware that there is a delay when changing directions and shifting from !N (Neu>
tral) to !D (Drive) or!R (Reverse) if the gas pedal is pushed down to far. These shifting
procedures are blocked until a sufficiently reduced gas pedal position is obtained.
The travel direction change occurs when this position is reached.
Make sure to release the gas pedal if you shift from !N (Neutral) to !D (Drive) or!R (Re>
verse) , then this blocking function does not occur.

3.04 DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS 023405>00

Driving, shifting, continuation

Gas pedal (5)


The position of the gas pedal influences the automatic shift timing.
If the gas pedal is pressed down all the way, the system shifts up automatically if the engine RPMs are high,
while a partially pressed down gas pedal permits shift up at low engine RPMs.
An electronic signal informs the ECU about the position of the gas pedal .

When the gas pedal is pressed down too far, then it influences the travel direction changes (changes from !N
(Neutral) to !D (Drive) or!R (reverse)).

Up shifting occurs without engine speed limitation, while an engine speed limitation occurs when shifting back
or when shifting from !N (Neutral) into the forward gear range !D (Drive) or into the reverse gear range !R (rever>
ses) .
If back shifting or shifting from N (Neutral) into a travel range with an engine speed, which is too high, is selec>
ted, then the ECU prevents the shifting procedure, until N (Neutral) is set again and/ or a lower speed is rea>
ched.
If the Reverse gear is selected when driving forward or shifting from Neutral into another gear range, and the
engine speed is too high, then a continuous warning signal will be heard.

DANGER: The gear is equipped with a gear range lock, which prevents upshifting past the se>
lected gear.
To drive downhill, select a lower range.
However, if the regulating speed of the engine is exceeded in the highest selected
gear, then the gear can shift into the next higher gear anyway.

Actuate the service brake and /or the Eddy current brake to prevent exceeding of
the engine RPM in the highest selected gear.

Starting the engine with the flame glow preheating system


The travel motor (engine) is equipped with a flame glow system and a flame start control unit.

Description of function
The flame start control unit supplies the current to the indicator light (43), the flame glow plugs in both intake
pipes and the solenoid valve for the fuel supply for the flame glow plugs.

At a lube oil temperature below the glow stop temperature (e+20∞C ), the preglow phase begins when the igni>
tion is turned on.

Preglow time
The preglow time depends on the system voltage .
When the ignition is turned on, the indicator light (43) lights up , the flame glow plugs are energized.
After completion of the preglow time, the indicator light (43) starts to blink (approx. 0.8 Hz), the STARTING
READINESS phase of the flame start system begins.
If the engine is not started during this time, the flame start control unit turns the flame glow plugs and the indi>
cator light (43) off.
If the engine is started during the starting readiness phase, then the flame start control unit opens the solenoid
valve for the fuel supply for the flame glow plugs.

After glow operation


The after glow operation starts when the starting procedure has been completed, the flame glow plugs continue
to be energized, the solenoid valve opens, the indicator light (43) turns off.
If the starting procedure was not successful, then the solenoid valve and the flame glow plugs are turned off.
> Return the ignition key to the stop before restarting the ignition.

At a lube oil temperature above the glow stop temperature (f+20∞C), the flame glow system is not functio>
ning, the indicator light !(43) blinks as soon as the ignition key is turned from the 1st notch and the engine is
ready to start.

The switch (120) must be turned off . In this position, all axles are suspended.
In this position all axles are suspended.

Note: For a description of the "AXLE SUSPENSION / LOCKING SYSTEM", refer to chapter
3.03.

Automatic travel height adjustment


The automatic and manual travel height adjustment must be made while the vehicle is parked on a level road
surface!

> Start the engine as described in paragraph 1. and 2.

D A N G E R: Before actuating the axle suspension / locking system, it must be assured that there
are no persons within the danger range of the crane.

> Push button (116) for the automatic leveling until the indicator light (117) lights up.
The crane will be automatically set to the correct level ( travel height) .
The indicator light (117) will light up as long as button (120) is depressed.

Manual travel height adjustment

C A U T I O N: When driving on public roads, manual level adjustment is only permissible under
special circumstances, for example if the crane must be lowered in order to
improve its vertical clearance, allowing it to pass under a bridge.
The manual travel height adjustment may only be made if the vehicle is at a
standstill.

Carry out the manual travel height adjustment as described in chapter 3.03, paragraph 1.2, "AXLE SUSPEN>
SION / LOCKING SYSTEM" .

> Slowly press down on the foot pedal for the service brake (4) , the red needle in the duplex air pressure gauges
(28, 29 must move in proportion to the pedal stroke, until it shows the same reading as the white needle (reser>
ve pressure).

Service brake (4)


>Increase the engine RPM by pressing the gas pedal (5) down , the crane will begin to move,
>Check the service brake by pressing down the brake pedal (4).

C A U T I O N: Check the brakes immediately after the crane starts to move.

Engine brake (1)


Use the foot button (1) to actuate the wear free engine brake.

DANGER: When going downhill, use only the engine brake.


If the braking action is insufficient, slow down the vehicle with the service brake
until the transmission can down shift to next lower gear.

Eddy current brake (6) *


The Eddy current brake can be applied with the 5>stage steering column switch (6) , its function is indicated by
indicator light (56) *.

CAUTION: The steering column switch must be shifted back to NULL (ZERO > to the front) as
soon as the vehicle is standing still or no addition decrease in speed is required.

Emergency release valve * (131) for parking brake (manual brake)


If the parking brake is blocked by some kind of defect in the air pressure system, then the parking brake can be
vented (released) by pushing the button (131)* to be able to move the vehicle from the danger zone.

DANGER: It is not permitted to continue driving with a defective air pressure system!

Driving downhill
Use the engine brake or the Eddy current brake * to slow the driving speed, in order to take it easy on the
service brake.

A simple rule of thumb:


Drive downhill in the same gear as you used to drive uphill.

C A U T I O N: If you go downhill too fast, the retarder can be overworked and it can no longer
hold a constant travel speed, at the same time, the oil temperature will exceed its
upper limit of 120∞C .
In this case, use the service brake to slow the vehicle and shift to the next lower
gear.
If the travel speed is adapted to down hill driving, as previously described, then the
engine retarder can slow the vehicle speed without the danger of overheating.

Keep an eye on the following important instruments while driving:

1. Warning light > steering circuit ¬ (68)


At a driving speed of approximately 10 km/h (6 miles per hour) , the warning light (68) for the hydraulic stee>
ring circuit II must turn off.

C A U T I O N: If the warning light does not turn off, then the steering circuit II is not functioning
properly. The crane must be stopped immediately and the cause must be found and
remedied.

2. Warning lights > brake circuit ¡, ¬, √ (51, 52, 53)

C A U T I O N: If one of these warning lights is on, then the brake circuit is not functioning pro>
perly. The crane must be stopped immediately and the cause must be found and re>
medied.

Warning lights
Automatic brake block preventer* vehicle (76, 77)
Automatic brake block preventer * trailer (78)
These warning lights must turn off at a speed of about 10 km/hr. (6 miles per hour) .

DANGER: If one of the two warning lights (76 or 77) or, when a trailer is used warning light
(78) does not turn off or lights up during travel, then there is a problem with the elec>
tronic ABV control.
The automatic brake block preventer is no longer functioning.

It is possible to continue driving, but it must be noted that the vehicle can only be slowed down ∫normally∫,
which means without ABV support.
Make sure to have the cause checked out as soon as possible by a trained expert.

3. Oil pressure gauge > engine (38)

CAUTION : If the oil pressure drops while traveling and does not increase if the engine speed is
increased, then the crane must be stopped immediately and the engine must be tur>
ned off.
If there is insufficient or no oil pressure, the engine is not lubricated, which can cau>
se serious engine damage.

4. Warning light > engine oil pressure (46), warning light > Coolant temperature (64)

C A U T I O N: If one of these two warning lights (46, 64) comes on during travel, then the crane
must be stopped immediately and the engine must be turned off.
Low engine oil pressure or high coolant temperature can cause serious engine
damage.

If the temperature increases too much while driving, the coolant temperature gauge (41) rises.
Try to lower the temperature to a permissible range of 85∞C to 90∞C ( 185∞ F to 194∞ F) by decreasing the engine
load or by increasing the engine speed.

C A U T I O N: If the coolant temperature does not drop to within the permissible range, then the
crane must be stopped immediately and the engine must be turned off.
Increased engine coolant temperature can cause serious engine damage.
Increased temperatures can cause transmission damage.

“ Shut off valve > Emergency control, fan ™on™

If the engine temperature indicator moves in the direction of the "red range", then there is the possibility that
there is a problem in the fan control .
This problem “can be remedied by closing the shut off valve —for a short time.

C A U T I O N: This emergency control may only be used to end travel!

Torque converter oil temperature gauge (26)


During normal travel operation, the needle of the temperature gauge (26) must be within the permissible ran>
ge.

C A U T I O N: If the needle goes into the red range, stop the crane immediately.
Shift the automatic transmission into neutral position "N" and let the engine run at
approximately 1500 RPM.
The oil temperature must drop to the permissible temperature range within a short
period of time.
If the oil temperature does not drop into the permissible temperature range, then
the crane must be stopped immediately and the engine must be turned off.

Torque converter oil pressure gauge (27)

CAUT I ON: If the torque converter oil pressure drops dramatically, turn the Diesel engine off
immediately.
Low oil pressure can cause transmission or torque converter damage.

8.DO NOT SHIFT>!(DNS>) indicator light in the digital indicator window!(111)


Every time the engine is started, the DO NOT SHIFT warning light lights up and turns off after a few seconds.
This short term signal means that the warning light control is functioning properly. If the DNS indicator light
does not light up after turning the ignition on, or remains on longer, than the system must be inspected imme>
diately.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)


If the DNS indicator light lights up during travel (except when starting), in continuous operation, then the ECU
control has determined a diagnostic code. While it light up, short beeps can be heard for about 8 seconds from
the gear control unit. They are acoustical signals that the upshift and backshift functions are limited and no
changes in direction will occur. The SELECT field on the indicator is empty.

Note: Refer to the "Indication of stored codes for diagnostics indication" at the end of
chapter !7.04, MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES > CRANE CHASSIS
If the DNS indicator light turns on and the ignition is turned off, the gear remains in "N"
(Neutral), until the DNS indicator light is turned off.

If the warning light (47) and the DNS indicator light in the digital indicator window !(111) turn on at the same
time during travel, then operate the gear in the selected travel range only long enough to move to a rest stop or
service station.

CAUTION : If this problem occurs when driving on a highway or in traffic, do not change the
preselected gear but drive in the selected gear to the next parking area.

9. Warning light (47) for electronic gear control


When the engine is started, the warning light (47) lights up and turns off after a few seconds again. This short
term illumination shows that the warning light is functioning.
If the warning light (47) and the DNS indicator light in the digital indicator window !(111) turn on at the same
time during travel, then there is a problem in the electronic system of the gear control.

Fuel gauge (40)


The fuel gauge shows when it becomes necessary to add fuel.

C A U T I O N: Do not let the fuel tank get completely empty, because contaminants in the fuel tank
can be drawn into the fuel system and it will become necessary to clean and bleed
the entire fuel system .
Do not drive until the fuel level warning light (62) comes on, refuel before.

Off>road driving
Adjust the axle suspension for off road driving as described in
"AXLE SUSPENSION / LOCKING SYSTEM", chapter 3.03.

For off>road driving, driving on unpaved surfaces and during winter or cold weather conditions, additional ge>
ars are provided, which may only be selected when the vehicle is at standstill, and in the following order:

1. Off road gear


2. Front wheel drive, drive for 1st axle (for 8¥6 drive)
or 1st and 2nd* axle (for 8¥8* drive)

3. Transverse differential lock for the driven axles


The off road gear can be selected separately.
The front axle drive requires off road gear .
The transverse differential lock requires off road gear and front axle drive.

The Off>road gear reduces the travel speed of the individual gears and increases the drive power, which is
transferred by the wheels to the ground surface.

If the off road gear is selected and one or more wheels spin, then the drive for the 1st (or the 1st and 2nd)*
axle can be added via switch .

If the addition of the drive for the 1st (or 1st and 2nd)* axle is not enough to prevent the wheels from spin>
ning, then the transverse differential lock for the driven axles can be added via switch (95) .

CAUTION : When driving with locked transverse differential locks, the drive axles can be si>
gnificantly damaged.

For that reason, the following must be observed:


> Shift only while at a standstill.
> Drive carefully!
> Do not drive into curves.
> Turn on the differential locks only shortly before an obstacle and turn it off imme>
diately after passing it.
> Use the differential locks only to drive on loose or muddy ground, sand, slush, etc.
> never use it to drive on solid ground.

Rear axle steering *


The rear axle steering can be turned on via button (118). It makes it possible, independent from the front
wheels) to turn the wheels of the 3rd and 4th axle in for offset movement of the crane (for the so > called dog or
crab walk) and tight turning radii .
If the button (118) is pushed on the left side, then the wheel turns in to the left, if the button (118) is pushed on
the right, then the wheel turns in on the right.
When using the rear axle steering, after the switch (91) is turned on, the shift lock is actuated, which means
that only the 1st and 2nd forward gear and the reverse gear are available.

CAUTION : The rear axle steering may not be used while driving on public roads.
The functional warning lights (55 and 73) for the rear axle steering must be off for
on road travel.
Check the rear axles visually to make sure the tires are turned in the right direction.

To put the hydraulic rear axle steering in operation


> Bring the vehicle to a standstill on level ground.
> Apply the parking brake (130) .
> Shift the gear selector switch (110) to ∫N™neutral position,
> via switch (91), release (open) the steering lock for the 3rd and 4th axle .
It can be unlocked when the automatic transmission is in neutral position, in 1st and 2nd forward gear as well
as in reverse.

> Move the steering button (118) slightly to the left and right until the yellow indicator light (73) lights up.
If the red warning light (55) lights up instead of the yellow indicator light (73) , then the steering lock / release
is in an intermediate position .
In this case, turn the switch (91) on and off again and move the steering button (118) slightly to the left and
right until the yellow indicator light (73) lights up.

> Now the 3rd and 4th axles can be steered synchronous to the left or right, as desired, via the steering button
(118) .

To take the hydraulic rear axle steering out of operation

CAUTION: If the rear axle steering is no longer needed, then it must be locked again on level
ground in straight forward direction before continuing to drive!

Support the crane

Extend the sliding arms from the chassis

The sliding arms on the left side of the vehicle may only be controlled via the control box on that side of the ve>
hicle.
The sliding arms on the right side of the vehicle may only be controlled via the control box on that side of the
vehicle.

DANGER : The operator must carefully observe the sliding arms while he extends or retracts
them.
While the sliding arms are extended or retracted, the operator must make sure that
there are no persons or objects within the danger zone.

> Increase the engine RPM with the manual control lever (132) to max. 1500 RPM, otherwise let it run at low id>
le speed.
> Extend all four sliding arms to the support base specified on the load capacity chart .

> Check if support surfaces (E1 or E2) match.


E1= wide support base
E2= reduced support base
Check marks (F) can be used by the crane operator to check the extension, if the extension is correct, they are
located just before the edge of the outer part of the sliding arm (D + G).

> Secure all 4 sliding arms with 2 pins (A+B) per arm .

DANGER: The sliding arms MUST be secured with pins to prevent any subsequent movement
of the support surface. If this is not done, it could cause a serious a c c i d e n t !
The pins (A and B ) must be completely inserted and the handle must point
downward. If this point is not adhered to, the crane could topple or tip over and
cause a serious
a c c i d e n t.

Check the outriggers

Note: At this point, make sure to check the site again to assure that the outriggers can be placed
properly and securely and assure that all safety regulation and guidelines are strictly ad>
hered to, otherwise there is a serious risk of accidental injury or death!

DANGER: All 4 sliding arms for the outriggers must be extended, including those on the oppo>
site side of the load.
If only the sliding arms on the load side are extended, it can have serious
consequences, because :
1. Due to the load hanging on the hook, the hoist cable and the telescopic boom (this
also applies to the auxiliary boom and the guy ropes, if they are used) are under
great tension and stress.
If, in this situation, the load were to drop from the lifting cables and tackle, or if
the hoisting cable were to break, the sudden loss of the load and resulting relief
would cause the boom to jerk up, which in turn might cause the crane to topple
over.
2. Despite previous assumption, it might become necessary to swing the load to the
opposite side. If this happens, it could cause the crane to topple over.
3. When slewing from the lengthwise or longitudinal direction, the center of gravity
changes due to the boom or counterweight momentum, which might be sufficient
for the crane to topple over.

Supports
The outrigger pads must be set on a foundation or base, its size depends on the ground conditions, the
foundation must be made of strong material, such as wood, steel or concrete slabs.

Note: Read and observe the safety guidelines and observe the permissible ground bearing load (
chapter 2.04 ) .
Outrigger pad area = 2500 cm2

DANGER: Use only suitable material for making the foundation.


The foundation must be placed in the center beneath the outrigger pads.
If this point is not observed, there is a serious risk of accidents.

To extend and / or retract the outrigger cylinders from the chassis

C A U T I O N: To assure proper operation of the LICCON supporting force monitor, the support
cylinders may not extended either to ∫ lower stop∫ nor to ∫ upper stop∫ .

> Go to one of the control boxes and extend the outrigger cylinders and raise the crane until the wheels are off
the ground.

DANGER: If this point is not observed, the axles may be damaged , because the vehicle frame
might bend during crane operation.

When you move the outrigger cylinders from the control box, move only those
outrigger cylinders you can see directly !

When the outrigger cylinders are extended or retracted, the operator must make
sure that there are no persons or objects within the danger zone.

Align the crane horizontally


On both sides of the vehicle and in the crane operatorπs cab are sight gauges to level the crane.
> Align the crane horizontally by extending or retracting the individual outrigger cylinders.
This is achieved when the air bubbles in the sight gauges are between the innermost rings.

DANGER: If the crane is not aligned horizontally, there is an increased risk of causing a
serious accident.

Note : The maximum permissible deviation from the horizontal crane position is ± 0,5% (± 0.3∞ ).
The air bubble in the sight gauges must be between the innermost ring (in the center).

The crane is aligned


> Once the crane is aligned, reduce the engine speed via the engine regulation (132) to low idle speed and turn
the engine off by turning the ignition key (34) to the ∫left∫.

To support the crane from the crane operatorπs cab

CAUTION: All guidelines and preventative measures already given in the chapter describing
the crane supporting procedure from the chassis must be observed.

If the crane is to be supported from the crane operatorπs cab, the desired movement (sliding arm or outrigger
cylinder) must be preselected via the preselector switch (319).

The control release button (316) must always be held down, when one of the buttons (295, 296, 308, 309) is
actuated. This safety measure is installed to prevent that the crane gets into a dangerous incline position due to
inadvertent actuation of one of the support function buttons. Always give a warning signal (horn) before
extending or retracting the sliding arms.

DANGER: The operator must carefully observe the sliding arms while he extends or retracts
them.
If he must extend or retract outriggers without visually being able to seem the
outrigger cylinder or sliding arm, then he must use an assistant to guide him.
While the sliding arms are extended or retracted, the operator must make sure that
there no persons or objects within the danger zone.

4.02 CONTROL + INDICATOR UNIT FOR ∫LICCON∫ OVERLOAD SAFETY DEVICE 022634>00

Operation:
See separately issued Operating Manual.

The LICCON overload safety device can be operated with the following control elements:

A $ Alpha numerical keyboard


With the alpha numerical keyboard (A), numerical values can be entered and a coded equipment
configuration view (load capacity chart) can be recalled on the screen.
The equipment configuration views are marked with a two digit number code.
If the entered code is confirmed with the button (C) ENTER, then the equipment configuration view (load
capacity chart) appears on the monitor.
If the equipment configuration view is confirmed with button (F8) O.K., then it is taken on by the
LICCON overload safety device and transferred to the ™OPERATION∫ program. The operating view
appears on the monitor .

B $ Program keys
With the program keys (B), various LICCON programs can be recalled.
By pushing program key (B1), for example, the equipment configuration view can be called up, and with
program key (B2), the operating view can be chosen.
During crane operation, various programs can be called up on the screen.
However, the crane operator is also able to view different equipment configurations, but he may not
confirm them with the key (F8) O.K.
By pushing the program key (B2), the operating view returns to the view, with which the crane works.
The equipment configuration view may only be selected if no crane movements are initiated.

F $ Function keys
With the function keys, operating conditions and functions, which are visible in the lower part of the
screen as symbols, can be changed.
The function keys (F1 to F8) are always to be viewed in connection with the symbols above, since they
have different meanings in different LICCON programs.

C $ The (C) ENTER key is an input confirmation key.


If there is a function in the operating mode and / or the equipment configuration is being changed, than
this change can only be confirmed with the key (C) ENTER and the load capacity chart can be called up
on the screen.
If the change in operating mode and / or the equipment configuration is confirmed with the key (C)
ENTER and an acoustical signal sounds, then the change has not been accepted. This means that the
chosen operating mode or the chosen equipment configuration has not been programmed into the
system.

D $ The installation key (D) is used to bypass either the LICCON overload safety device or the hoist top
limit switch.
On some cranes, the functions of this switch have been replaced by a switch on the instrument panel.

E $ The keys (E1) and (E2) < > are used for horizontal paging and are needed when a load capacity chart
is too wide to be viewed on one screen .
If keys (E1) and (E3) are pushed at the same time, the screen changes from light to dark.
When keys (E2) and (E3) are pushed at the same time, you can choose between 4 light levels.

4.02 CONTROL + INDICATOR UNIT FOR ∫LICCON∫ OVERLOAD SAFETY DEVICE 022634>00

Description

The LICCON safe load indicator or overload safety device (Liebherr Computed Controlling) consists of an
electronic module with power pack and micro processor central unit, the monitor with controls, pressure
sensors, incline angle and length sensors.

As an overload safety device, the LICCON works according to the principle of a comparison of ∫should be∫ and
∫actual∫ values.
The ∫actual∫ values coming from length,angle and pressure sensors are compared with the ∫should be∫ values,
which are stored in the central data processor, and then are calculated by the microprocessor.

The crane data values, such as the load capacity charts, boom weights, center of gravity and measurements,
have been stored on data chips in the central data bank. This data is the reference information used to calculate
any overload conditions.

The system functions are either controlled by automatic components such as boom length and angle sensors or
by direct input into the dialogue functions on the monitor .

The prewarning symbol blinks when the load on the crane is 90 % or higher than the maximum load carrying
capacity.

If the overload safety device recognizes a sensor problem, for example, which could lead to a dangerous
situation, then it shuts down and displays a STOP symbol, even though the maximum permissible load carrying
capacity has not been exceeded. The STOP symbol remains on and blinks as soon as the load on the crane
exceeds the maximum permissible load carrying capacity.
An acoustical signal sounds with the blinking prewarning and STOP symbol.

If the crane shuts off due to overload, movements must be carried out which will reduce the load momentum,
such as:
> setting the load down
> retracting the telescope
> luffing up while pushing the button ™Luffing up at overload∫

Load momentum increasing movements are:


> luffing down
> telescoping out
> taking on a load by luffing up.

The central unit recognizes ground problems, broken lines and short circuits after (+).
When the hoist top limit switch is triggered, the overload safety device is also triggered.
The movement ∫hoist gear up∫ and all load momentum increasing movements are shut off, the warning symbol
hoist limit switch and the STOP symbol appear and blink on the monitor.

DANGER: The proper function of the load moment limiter is only assured if the adjusted
operating mode, the equipment configuration and the hoist cable reeving actually
match the condition of the crane.
If this is not observed, it can cause a serious accident!

To weigh a load
The overload safety device makes it possible to determine the weight of a raised load (net load). This
calculation, however, is only permitted if the approximate weight of the load is known and it can be assured
that the crane is not overload.
With a free hanging hook block (with tackle), press the Tare button (F7) in the operating view. The ∫actual load
capacity∫ is automatically reset to zero.
In the ∫actual load carrying capacity indicator symbol∫, the NET description will appear in addition.
If the load is now being raised via the hoist gear, then the net weight of the load will be indicated.
If the working radius is being changed, the indicator returns to indicate the gross weight.

Functions check for control and indicator unit


The status of the monitor and the controller is shown via four luminous diodes, which are located on the front
behind the front windshield.

Checks before starting crane operation


Before operation, complete the following checks:

Note: For detailed description of the below listed checks,


refer to chapter 7.05, ™MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES , CRANE SUPERSTRUCTURE™ .

Check on the crane engine


Check the coolant level (Fig. 1 )
> The coolant reservoir must be filled to the rim on the filler neck.

DANGER: NEVER check the coolant level if the engine is still warm! Check the coolant level
ONLY when the engine is cold, hot coolant fluid can cause serious skin burns!

Check the oil level (Fig. 2)


> The oil level must be between the minimum and maximum ( MIN and MAX) mark on the dipstick.

Check the air filter (Fig. 10)


> If the warning light lights up when the engine is running, then clean or replace the air filter insert.

Check the fuel level (Fig. 9)


> Check how much fuel is remaining in the tank by checking the fuel gauge in the craneπs cab.

CAUTION : Do not wait until the fuel tank is completely empty before adding fuel, otherwise
contaminants and particles in the fuel will be drawn into the fuel system, making it
necessary to flush and bleed the system.

Checks on the hydraulic tank for the crane hydraulic


Breather filter (Fig. 4)
> Open the rotary cover and visually check the filter for contamination.

Oil filter (Fig. 5)


> Service the two filters according to guidelines in chapter 7.02 and 7.03.

The following indicator and warning lights come on when the crane ignition is turned on:
> Oil pressure warning light > crane engine (286)
> Preglow indicator light > crane engine (304)
> Battery charge indicator light > crane engine (293)
The indicator light (304) turns on for approx. 50 seconds ( =preglow time) and then blinks for 30 seconds
(=starting period ).

DANGER: NEVER operate the crane with defective warning lights. Any defective lights and
bulbs MUST BE REPLACED before operating the crane.
If the crane is operated without a functioning warning system, it can cause serious
accidents, injury and death.

Fuel gauge
> Check the fuel gauge for the crane engine

CAUTION: Do not operate the crane until the fuel tank is empty, as residue and contaminants
from the bottom of the tank are then drawn into the fuel system. If the fuel system
becomes contaminated, it must be cleaned and bled before continued operation.
DO NOT WAIT until the warning light lights up before adding fuel!

Starting the craneπs engine and turning it off


> Continue to turn the ignition key to position !"2", slowly depress the gas pedal for the crane engine!(200) and
start the crane engine.

> As soon as the crane engine has started, release the ignition key and release the pressure on the gas pedal
(200) .

Note : In every starting procedure, it will take the starter approximately 1 second before it starts
to turn, after the ignition key has been moved to position!"2"!.
This delay prevents problems for the electric engine shut off.

If the engine does not start after 5 seconds, slowly press down the gas pedal for the crane engine !(200) and crank
the starter again.

CAUTION : The crane engine may only be started if:


> the warning light (293) for the alternator is on.

CAUTION: The engine may only be started if:


> the warning light (293) for the alternator is on .
> the indicator light (304) for the flame glow system blinks .

If temperatures are below freezing, always start the engine with the flame glow system , note the longer
preglow time.
It not only reduces the starter limit temperature, but also simplifies starting the engine at temperatures, which
actually do not yet require a starting aid.
It is also possible to reduce exhaust emission during the starting procedure, if the vehicle is being started by
using the flame glow system (∫preheat∫) .
The flame glow system is not operating if the engine is started immediately.

Note: > At a coolant temperature of more than +20 ∞C, the flame glow system is turned off
(automatically)!
> A problem in the flame glow system is indicated if the preglow indicator light (304) does
not turn off or if it lights up when the engine is running.

At a coolant temperature of <15∞C , the flame glow system is automatically turned on, the current dependent
PREGLOW TIME begins, it lasts about 45 bis 50 seconds and the indicator light !(304) is on.
If the engine is started during this time, the system shuts off.
> Turn the ignition key back to the stop before restarting.

After a preglow time, the STARTING READINESS starts, it lasts about 30 seconds.
The indicator light !(304) blinks, the engine must now be started without pressing the pedal for engine
regulation (200) down.
If the engine is not being started during this time, the system shuts off.
> Release the ignition key after the engine starts.

4.04 SAFETY DEVICES 022540>02

Check the safety devices


The crane operator MUST CHECK EVERY TIME before he operates the crane, that all safety devices function
properly.

DANGER: DO NOT OPERATE THE CRANE WITH DEFECTIVE WARNING DEVICES , this
can lead to serious accidents, causing injury or death.

LIEBHERR COMPUTED CONTROLLING ( LICCON )

Safe load indicator (load moment limiter)


The electronic safe load indicator turns all load moment increasing crane movement off as soon as the permis>
sible 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.

DANGER: 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 actual
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 great
danger that the crane overturns and is damaged beyond repair, despite a
functioning load moment limiter.

The load moment limiter cannot monitor and control all possible operating
conditions, this is still primarily the responsibility of the operator.
The safe load indicator registers but does not monitor, for example the incline.
The safe load indicator registers but does not monitor, for example the wind speed.

Leveling instruments
(sight gauges)
In order to assure the safety while working with the crane, the crane must be horizontally aligned.

DANGER: If the crane is not aligned horizontally, there is an increased risk of accidents.

On both sides of the vehicle is a sight gauge, as well as in the crane operatorπs cab, the air bubbles must always
be within the inner rings (center).

The maximum permissible deviation from the horizontal line is ± 0.5% (± 0.3∞ ).
If the sight gauges have been damaged by external forces and become maladjusted, then they must be recali>
brated.
To do so, place a level on the slewing ring onto the frame of the vehicle, and align the crane horizontally in a
longitudinal and lateral direction.
Then reset the sight gauges by adjusting the adjustment screws and secure them in this position with lock nuts.
During normal travel and crane operation, the adjustment of the sight gauges should remain unchanged.

Emergency "OFF" button (281)


If actuated, the Diesel engine and the electric crane control is turned off. Any initiated movement can be
stopped immediately.

DANGER: The emergency "OFF" button may only be used in actual emergency situations. It
is not permitted to use this emergency "OFF" button for normal operation!

"Control Release" knob* (266/276 )


If the crane operator works standing up, he must hold down one of the two knobs.
If he works in seated position, the two knobs (266/276) are bypassed by the seat contact switch (262) .

Note: This safety control is installed in order to prevent any unintentional crane movement which
may be accidentally caused if the manual control levers (267 / 277) are touched when
entering or exiting the cab.

Seat contact switch (262)


When working while seated, the control release for the crane operation is enabled by the depressed seat contact
switch (262).

Knob ∫Luffing at overload∫ (271)


In overload, the ∫luffing" crane movement is also turned off, even though it is a load reducing crane movement
with a freely suspended load.
If the knob (271) "luffing at overload" is held down and the manual control lever (277) is moved in ∫luffing up∫
direction, then this crane movement can be carried out.

DANGER: 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.
Bypassing this function in the limit range may only be done, if the LICCON safe load
indicator does not report overload of the freely suspended load.
It is also not permitted to bypass the LICCON system at working radii of e3,5 m .

Contact switch * on the crane superstructure > locking mechanism


During crane operation ∫only to the rear∫ , the superstructure must be mechanically locked to the chassis.
The lever (261) must be ∫down∫.

CAUTION : The indicator light (306) must be on.

Due to a contact switch on the locking mechanism, the LICCON is released in locked condition so that the load
capacity chart "to the rear" (increased load capacities) can be released.

1.1.1 Bypassing the LICCON safe load indicator

DANGER: The LICCON safe load indicator system is not effective as long as the keyed button
is operated.

2.1.1 Bypass of the ∫upper™ hoist limit switch

DANGER: The hoist limit > hoist ∫top∫ is bypassed as long as the keyed button is operated.
The hoist limit switch may only be bypassed during crane operation, if another
person carefully observes the distance between the hook block and the boom pulley
head.
The observer must be in direct contact with the crane operator.
The hoist movement must be carried out with utmost care and at the lowest possible
speed.
Bypassing the hoist limit switch is only permitted in an emergency by authorized

Sliding arms monitor*


For detailed description refer to chapter 6.04 SLIDING ARM MONITOR.

The LICCON sliding arm monitor checks the data of the crane operator, who has set it according to the
supporting width to select the load capacity chart on the LICCON panel **.

CAUTION: It does not monitor proper crane support and if the sliding arms are pinned
properly on the intended positions.

Support force monitor *, Fig. 1


See also chapter 6.04 SLIDING ARM MONITOR.
The support force is monitored via the LICCON safe load indicator **.

During crane operation, he LICCON support force monitor constantly determines the support force in all 4
outrigger cylinders.
The maximum and minimum values , when the alarm is triggered have been entered at the factory, depending
on crane type.
In equipment configuration crane supported, these support forces are automatically shown, either on crane
operator request or when a critical situation occurs.

CAUTION: Blinking question marks ( ??? ) instead of a value, with the error number !062/063 in
the ERROR symbol FK6 indicate an error in the corresponding pressure sensor or
in the connection.

1. Indication of current support force **


With function key F3, the symbol support force monitor, Fig. 1 is shown next to the crane symbol, the
support force for every support is shown in tons [t].
The symbol appears automatically, including the alarm signal ªSHORT HORN´, if a support has reached or
exceeded the maximum force or if it has reached or fallen below the minimum force. However, the crane
movements are NOT shut off.
The value (s), which trigger the warning are shown blinking.

DANGER: The crane movements are NOT shut off if the permissible support force is being
exceeded / fallen below. Under no circumstances may the LICCON support force
monitor be used to utilize the crane to the tipping limit!
If this is not observed, it can result in a serious accident.

2. Programming maximum and minimum support forces **


The same maximum and minimum support force values for each support have been entered at the factory,
depending on crane type.
The operator can change these 5 values in the SUPPORT FORCE LIMIT VALUE MODIFICATION program,
depending on the situation at hand.

Limitation of slewing speed , Fig. 2


In order to prevent a slewing movement which is inadvertently carried out to quickly, the slewing speed must
be limited via the LICCON safe load indicator system * in the CONTROL program.

> When starting the program via the B2 program key, preprogrammed percentage values are shown under the
∫Vmax >Symbol∫ .
> Use function key F8 (or program key B2) to return to the CRANE OPERATING VIEW.

Actuate a slewing movement (restrictor 273)


The control of the slewing movement can be made in two ways.
Before beginning crane operation the crane operator must determine how he wants to carry out the slewing
movement by opening or closing the restrictor (273) .

1. Restrictor (273) open


The slewing movement follows the load (after>run), which means the slewing movement must always be slo>
wed down by countering with the manual control lever or with the slewing brake (pedal 203) .

2. Restrictor (273) closed


The slewing movement follows the manual control lever (267), which means the slewing movement is slowed
down and stops as soon as the manual control lever is moved to zero position.
By pressing the foot button (203.1) , the slewing brake can be opened and the boom can be positioned with the
hoist gear over the load by sensitively deflecting the corresponding manual control lever .

Lock hoist gear *, Fig. 3


In order to prevent an unintended movement of the cable winch, which is not needed in crane operation with
only one cable winch by inadvertently touching the manual control lever, this cable winch can be turned off via
the !CONTROL program.
Push function key F4 to bring the cursor to the symbol for the cable winch, which is to be turned off, then push

As soon as the max. permissible wind speed is exceeded, the wind velocity warning light blinks and an
acoustical signal ªSHORT HORN´ sounds, but the crane movements are NOT shut off.

DANGER: If the permissible wind speed is exceeded, shut down is NOT carried out
automatically. This is only a warning system!
YOU YOURSELF MUST cease crane operation and lower the boom.
If you do not adhere to this rule, the risk of causing a serious accident is
significantly increased.

CAUTION: When operating the crane with the folding jib, the removable wind sensor must
always be installed and properly connected and fully functional, otherwise the
∫LICCON∫ safe load indicator will indicate a malfunction.

* Refer to the more detailed, separately issued ∫LICCON∫ operating manual for the operational guidelines for
the LICCON safe load indicator.

Indication of direction of rotation of w inch and hook path


Is integrated into the ∫LICCON∫ system *
Via this symbol on the ∫LICCON∫crane operating view, the direction of rotation of the winch is shown, if the
winch spools in or out, even even if the actual movement of the hook block is hard to detect due to multiple ree>
ving or due to slow speed.

CAUTION: When the cable is spooled in /out, keep watching the winch to make sure that there
is no excess loose cable spooling up on the winch.
Loose cable can damage the winch cable.

Hoist limit switch > winch spooled in / out


A cam limit switch is installed in the hoist winch and turns off the ™down / lower™ crane movement, if there are
at least 3 safety loops remaining on the drum.
This switch also stops the movement when the winch is full.

DANGER: If the hoist cable is spooled up during installation, make sure that the end of the ca>
ble still remains in front of the winch and is not spooled up over the winch, because
if the end of the cable is then pulled over the winch by another turn, the shut off
could no longer be guaranteed when the cable gets to the three safety loops.
In this case, the cam limit switch must be reset.
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.

Hoist limit switch > Hoist top


The hoist limit switch monitors the distance of the hook block to the boom pulley head, it is installed to prevent
the hook block from hitting the boom pulley head.
It must be checked before every crane operation by running the hook block up to the top weight to check the
switch function.
The ∫hoist∫, ∫luffing out∫ and ∫telescoping out∫ crane movements must shut off if the switch is functioning
properly.

DANGER: The hoist limit switch may only be bypassed during crane operation with the keyed
button (D), if another person carefully observes the distance between the hook
block and the boom pulley head.
The observer must be in direct contact with the crane operator.
The hoist movement must be carried out with utmost care and at the lowest possible
speed.
The limit switch may not be used as a regular shut off system .
If this point is not observed, in case of malfunction, various crane components can
be severely damaged or the crane can topple over.

Bypassing the hoist limit switch is only permitted in an emergency by authorized


personnel only!

Control of crane movement ªLuffing´ the telescopic boom

DANGER: It is not permitted to lift a load by luffing the telescopic boom if the LICCON safe lo>
ad indicator system has shut off when the load had been lifted via the hoist gear.
This will overload the crane and can cause the crane to topple over.

A bypass in the limit range may only be done if the LICCON safe load indicator sy>
stem does not report overload when the load is freely suspended.
In addition, it is also not permitted to use the bypass of the LICCON safe load indi>
cator system in working radii of more than 3.5 m.

> Switch the operating mode switch (280) to ªluffing´ the telescopic boom (fig. 4).

> Deflect the manual control lever (277) to the left = to luff up the telescopic boom.
> Deflect the manual control lever (277) to the right = to luff down the telescopic boom .

The speed of the ™luffing™ crane movement is regulated via the deflection of the corresponding manual control

Description
The telescopic sections 1 and 2 are hydraulically pushed in or out individually, after pre>selection via the ope>
rating mode switch (280), by moving the manual control lever (277).
The telescopic sections 3 and 4 are hydraulically pushed in or out synchronously, after pre>selection via the
operating mode switch (280), by moving the manual control lever (277).

Every extension condition has been given a 2 digit code number.


This code number is noted on the current load capacity chart and must be entered into the system via the LIC>
CON keyboard .
The telescoping procedure is shown optically on the monitor of the LICCON system.
The current extension condition of the various telescopic sections is shown in percentages [%], the individual
values are separated by diagonal lines.

Note: Please refer to more detailed LICCON operating manual for operational instructions.

CAUTION : The telescopic boom should generally be telescoped out to the required length wit>
hout a load and then the load should be attached.
However, it is possible to telescope the telescopic boom under partial load.
This partial load depends on the lubrication of the bearing shoes as well as on the
existing telescopic lengths.
The permissible partial load is matched via the pressure relief valves to the corre>
sponding length condition.

DANGER: When telescoping loads in or out, it is imperative that the equipment configurations,
radii and guidelines given in the load capacity charts are strictly adhered to!

Control of ªslewing´ crane movement, continuation

The slewing movement can be controlled two different ways:


The crane operator must decide before starting to work, how he wants to control the slewing movement, by
opening or closing the restrictor (273) .

1. Restrictor (275)open
The slewing movement follows the load (after>run), i.e. the slewing movement must always slowed down by
countering the manual control lever or with the slewing brake (pedal 203) .

2. Restrictor (275) closed


The slewing movement follows the manual control lever (267), i. e. the slewing movement is slowed down and
stops as soon as the manual control lever is moved to zero position.
By actuating the foot button (203.1), the slewing brake can be released and the boom can be positioned over a
load by carefully deflecting the manual control lever.

CAUTION : If the restrictor is closed,


> DO NOT actuate the foot button !(203.1) ,
> DO NOT counter the manual control lever
during a slewing movement.

The speed of the crane movement is controlled by the deflection of the manual control lever (267) and via the
engine regulation (200).

Control of ªslewing ´ crane movement , continue

To slow down the slewing movement with open restrictor (275)


The slewing movement can be slowed down two ways:
1. by countering with the manual control lever (267)
or
2. by pressing the foot pedal (203).

Note : Normally, the movement should be slowed by countering with the lever, as this can be done
much more sensitively.

To slow down the slewing movement with closed restrictor (275)


Bring the manual control lever (267) slowly to zero position, and the slewing movement will stop.

CAUTION : If loads are carried with a large wind>exposed surface, and if there is any wind co>
ming from the side, then it can happen, that the slewing movement ªruns away´.
Even if loads are positioned exactly, then it can happen, if wind is coming from the
side, that the load ªruns sideways´ .
In order to prevent this, slow and hold the load movement down by pressing the
pedal (203).

If the load needs to be retained in a certain position for a longer period of time, then the slewing brake should be
applied via switch (272) .

In general, the following rule applies:

Longer boom
more load } slower speed
Geschwindigkeit

DANGER: When slewing with a load, initiate the slewing movement and /or braking move>
ment very carefully and very gently.
Jerky, irregular movements and braking the slewing movement too suddenly can
cause the load to swing.
A swinging load can cause the boom to break off and could cause the crane to

Control of crane movement ªLuffing´ the telescopic boom

DANGER: It is not permitted to lift a load by luffing the telescopic boom if the LICCON safe lo>
ad indicator system has shut off when the load had been lifted via the hoist gear.
This will overload the crane and can cause the crane to topple over.

A bypass in the limit range may only be done if the LICCON safe load indicator sy>
stem does not report overload when the load is freely suspended.
In addition, it is also not permitted to use the bypass of the LICCON safe load indi>
cator system in working radii of more than 3.5 m.

> Deflect the manual control lever (277) to the left = to luff up the telescopic boom.
> Deflect the manual control lever (277) to the right = to luff down the telescopic boom .

The speed of the ™luffing™ crane movement is regulated via the deflection of the corresponding manual control
lever (277) and the gas pedal for the crane engine.
A further increase of the luffing up movement can be obtained by adding the rapid gear:

Turn the rapid gear on


> Push the button (269 or 279) once, the ªrapid gear´ symbol appears on the monitor.
The rapid gear remains operational until the button (269 or 279) is pushed again or the manual control lever

Reeving the hook block

Reeving
Prerequisite:
> The crane is properly supported and horizontally aligned.
> The engine is running.
> An assistant is present to guide the cable.

Installation procedure:
> Place the required hook block under the pulley head of the telescopic boom.
> On the hook block (19), remove the two spring retainers on both sides of the cable retaining bar (18) and pull
out both cable retaining bars.
> On the pulley head remove the spring retainers of the cable retaining bar (14 and 15) and pull out the four
cable retaining bars.
> Guide the hoist cable over the telescopic boom to the pulley head.

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
slack on the cable drum.

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


If it is unavoidable that the cable must be hand guided on the telescopic 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 function is not
operated properly and the person guiding the cable slips on the telescoping boom.

> Lay the hoist cable over the top cable pulley (13) and reeve the hoist cable between the pulley head and the
hook block as shown on the reeving plan for the appropriate load capacity chart.
> Reinsert the cable retaining bars (14 and 15) and secure them with spring retainers.

Fig. 1
> On the cable lock (1), remove the pin (2) and pull out the pin (3).
> Depending on the reeving, bolt the cable lock either to the pulley head or to the hook block and secure with the
spring retainer.

Note: The pin (3) must always be placed from the inside to the outside and secured from the
outside, to prevent the hoist cable from rubbing against the pin (3) or the spring retainer (2).

Fig. 2
> On the cable lock (1), push in the lock pin (6), push the lever (5) ∫downward∫ and hold it in this position, this
causes the locking lever (4) to swing downward.

CAUTION: The locking mechanism (4, 5, and 6) on the cable lock must be movable.

> Hang the end of the cable with press fitting (8) into the cable lock and pull the cable ™downward∫ (in direction
of the arrow) until the cable fitting (8) touches the taper (7).

CAUTION: The cable fitting (8) must touch the taper (7) in the cable lock , the lever (5) must be
locked with the lock pin (6) .

> Using a 13 mm wide (SW 13) open end wrench, loosen the hex head nut (10) and turn it ∫up∫ by hand.
> Release the hoist limit switch weight (A).

CAUTION: The hoist limit switch weight (A) consists of two interconnected parts (11 and 12) .
When releasing or attaching the weight, make sure that the two parts do not slide
apart and cause the weight (11) to fall out.
Danger of foot injuries!

> Push the weight (11) by hand onto the cable and hold it,
> with the other hand, guide the carrying part (12) behind the cable, underneath the weight (11).

Note: With multiple reeving, the hoist limit switch weight (A) must always be routed around the
∫fixed cable∫, meaning around the cable, whose end makes up the cable fixed point.

Fig. 5
> Push the weight (11) over the carrying part (12).
> Hang the hoist limit switch weight (A) again into the chain lock (9) ,
> Turn the lock nut (10) down and manually tighten with a SW 13 open end wrench.

DANGER: The chain lock (10) serves at the same time to secure the weight (11).
It may not be replaced with another part, such as a shackle, snap etc.
The chain lock (10) must always be attached in such a way that the lock nut (10 ) is
on ∫top∫, meaning on the chain (17) and the chain lock is closed by turning the lock
nut (10) ∫downward∫.
This procedure assures that the lock nut (10) does not loosen up by itself, causing
the chain lock to open.

Visual inspection: Is the chain lock (10) fully closed?


Is the hoist limit switch weight(A) attached to the ∫fixed or stationary cable∫?

> Enter the number of reeves into the ∫LICCON∫ safe load indicator or recheck it.

DANGER: The crane operator must make sure that the reeving process has been done
properly and that the safe load indicator has been set correctly.
Incorrect reeving or entering an incorrect number of reeves can lead to serious
accidents.

Installation / Removal

Prerequisites:
> The crane must properly supported according to the load capacity chart and horizontally aligned,
> The transport vehicle with the counterweight plates has been positioned close to the supported crane,
> the hook block is properly reeved, according to the reeving plan.

AC A U T I O N : The ballasting cylinders (7) must be fully retracted, otherwise there could be a col>
lision with the counterweight plates on the chassis.

DANGER: The slewing range must be free and clear of personnel and objects.

If the boom is positioned in a steep position for which no load capacities are entered
in the load capacity chart, there is great danger of tipping the crane to the rear, to
the counterweight side,when the crane is being turned.

This danger is especially acute if:


> the support base is reduced or
> if the crane is supported, but the sliding arms have been retracted.

287

Installation procedure
> Start the crane engine as described in chapter 4.03.
> The mechanical crane superstructure lock has been released via the manual lever (261) , the indicator light
(306) turns off.
> Adjust the LICCON safe load indicator according to the load capacity chart.

DANGER: Before lifting the boom from the transport position, the crane must be supported as
noted on the load capacity chart and the LICCON safe load indicator must be adju>
sted according the load capacity chart .
When ballasting the crane, the boom lengths and radii given in the load capacity
chart MAY NOT be exceeded.
If this point is not observed, it could cause a serious accident as the crane may tip
over.

To stack the counterweight plates on the vehicle

CAUTION : Always move the manual control levers slowly and sensitively to take it easy on the
crane and to prevent accidents.

DANGER: Before initiating a crane movement, always sound the horn.

> Raise the required plates for the corresponding counterweight combination with the own crane and the supp>
lied tackle and place them on the vehicle frame.
The determining factor for the selection of the counterweight is the data given in the appropriate load capacity
chart.

Note: The base plate (3) must always be placed on the vehicle frame first, as it is the carrier plate
for the remaining plates.

CAUTION : The counterweight plate (1) is placed on the counterweight plate (3) or (2+3) , rai>
sed via the ballasting cylinders (7) onto the counterweight frame and is screwed di>
rectly onto it with the two hex head screws (10) .

> Turn the crane superstructure , (telescopic boom in travel direction to the rear) until the ballasting cylinders
(7) are above the counterweight plates on the vehicle.

CAUTION : The ballasting cylinders (7) must be fully retracted for this slewing movement, ot>
herwise there could be a collision with the counterweight plates on the vehicle!

DANGER: The slewing range must be free and clear of personnel and objects. Always sound
the horn before initiating a crane movement.

Take up the counterweight


> Mechanically lock the crane superstructure with the crane chassis with the pin by moving the manual lever
(261), the indicator light !(306) must light up.
> Hold the button (316) ªdown´ until the green indicator light in the switch turns on, the ballasting cylinders
(7) are now extended into the recesses of the counterweight plate (3).
> Hold the button (317) ªdown´ until the red indicator light in the switch turns off, the ballasting cylinders (7)
are now locked with the counterweight plate (3) .

DANGER: If the button (317) is actuated and the red indicator light in the switch lights up con>
stantly, then both of the ballasting cylinders are not locked or released and no mo>
vement (raise / lower counterweight) may be actuated via the button (316)!

> Hold the button (316) ªup´ until the green indicator light in the switch lights up; the ballasting cylinders are
now retracted and the counterweight plate (3) or the plates on the counterweight plate (3) are now raised to
the stop on the counterweight plate (1).
> Adjust the LICCON safe load indicators system to the operating mode and the existing counterweight configu>
ration.

Note: The counterweight can also be placed directly on the counterweight frame with a 2nd crane.
This eliminates placement of the counterweight on the chassis and turning the crane super>
structure.
The remaining steps remain the same.

To remove the counterweight

CAUTION : The superstructure must be locked to the chassis via the manual lever (261) before
placing the counterweight on the vehicle.
If this is not assured, the counterweight will not be placed on the intended centering
and the counterweight might not be properly attached to the vehicle frame.

DANGER: Make sure the area is clear, that no foreign objects are under the counterweight
when the counterweight is placed on the vehicle frame .
If this is not the case, the counterweight cannot be locked down properly and
therefore cannot be secured properly and safely on the vehicle.

Before every trip, make sure to visually check the counterweight plate for damage.
Damaged counterweight plates must be replaced.
If there any distortions on the placement bracket, then it must be realigned and fi>
xed.

Safety technical guidelines for working with a load

Note : Refer also to the safety technical guidelines in chapter 2.04!

> Always maintain the maximum load as specified in the load capacity chart.
> Always maintain the working radius as specified in the load capacity chart.

DANGER: For steep boom positions, for which no load capacities are given on the load
capacity chart, there is the danger that the crane topples over to the rear, the
counterweight side, when the slewing platform is turned.

This danger is specially acute,


> if the support base is reduced or
> if the crane is supported, but with retracted sliding arms.

Operating the crane with a smaller working radius than specified on the load
capacity chart is not permitted.
This also applies if there is no load on the hook.
Doing so increases the risk of accidents!

> Always maintain the number of reevings corresponding to the maximum load capacity as specified in the
load capacity chart.

DANGER: If this rule is not observed, the cable could snap and cause a serious accident and
injury or death!

> Always initiate any crane movement and braking movement very slowly and carefully, to prevent the
load,which is suspended from the hook, from swinging.
> As soon as the lowest cable layer of a winch drum is reached, another person must make sure that there are
always at least three coils remaining on the winch drum.

DANGER: If this rule is not observed, it could cause a serious accident and injury or death.

> It is not permitted to use larger hook blocks than the size specified to hoist the maximum load as stated on
the load capacity chart. If this rule is not observed, the hook cannot be lowered to the ground because the
hoist cable is too short.

294
4.08 WORKING WITH A LOAD 022543>02

Inspection
Before beginning any crane operation, the crane operator must carry out a thorough inspection to ensure the
operating safety of the crane once more.

> Is the crane properly supported and horizontally aligned?


> Are all applicable values from the load capacity chart entered and adjusted to reflect the current equipment
configuration?
> Is the danger range of the crane free of any persons and objects?

DANGER: Before beginning any slewing movements, the operator must


> always give an audible warning signal by pressing the horn.
> The crane operator must make sure, especially when working on tight
construction sites, that there are no persons or objects within the slewing range,
in the rear area behind the counterweight and close to the vehicle chassis.

There is always a risk of accidents!

Visual inspection for damage.


The crane operator must report any problems he found on the crane to his supervisor, the designated person in
charge, including to his relieve person or assistant.

DANGER: The crane operator must immediately stop crane operation if any malfunctions are
found or should occur, which could endanger the operational safety of the crane
operation, particularly the following:

> if there is any damage to the load carrying parts of the crane structure, such as
boom, outriggers, etc.
> any time the load slips due to hoist brake failure,
> any time there is a functional problem in the crane control,
> any time any of the indicator and/or warning lights are not functioning properly,
> if there is any damage to the hoist cable,
> if any of the safety devices are not functioning properly,
> if there is a leakage anywhere on the craneπs hydraulic system.

crane operation.

Enter operating mode and equipment configuration into the ∫LICCON∫ safe load indicator system
See control and indicator unit of the safe load indicator system in chapter 4.02.

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 accepted.
In this case, it must be checked which of the entered functions is not correct.

DANGER: The proper function of the LICCON safe load indicator system and safe crane
operation is only assured, if the data given in the load capacity chart has been
entered correctly and matches the actual equipment configuration.
The crane operator is obligated to recheck the correct adjustment of the safe load
indicator system before starting to work with the crane (even if he only leaves the
cab for a short time) .

The sliding arms are monitored via the LICCON safe load indicator system.
The LICCON sliding arm monitor checks the supporting width data, which the crane operator has entered on
the LICCON panel according to the load capacity chart.

CAUTION : The LICCON safe load indicator system does not monitor if the crane is supported
properly and if the sliding arms are pinned correctly in the intended positions.

Support force monitor * Fig. 1


See also chapter 6.04 SLIDING ARM MONITOR .
The support force monitoring is carried out via the LICCON safe load indicator system .

Prerequisite:
> the crane must be operated in supported condition,
> the installation keyed switch ( D ) may not be actuated.

CAUTION : To assure that the LICCON support force monitoring system works properly, do not
move the support cylinders to ∫lower block ∫ nor ∫upper block!∫ .

Working near overhead electrical wires


If there are any overhead electrical wires close to the job site, they must be disconnected by trained electricians.
If this is not possible, the danger zone must be covered or blocked off.

If these measures are not permitted or possible, the following safe distances must always be kept between the
crane / boom and any wires:

Minimum Minimum
Rated Voltage
distance in meters distance in feet

up to 1 kV 1 3

above 1 kV up to 110 kV 3 9

above 110 kV up to 220 kV 4 13

Note : If, despite all precautionary measures, a flashover occurs, proceed as follows:
> Keep calm,
> DO NOT leave the cab,
> Warn all those around the crane to remain standing where they are and not to touch the
crane,
> Move the crane from the danger zone.

DANGER: If this is not observed, serious injury or damage can occur!

High voltage warning device * HSW 40


The high voltage warning device monitors the safety distance between the boom and the overhead wires, as
long as they are high voltage (AC current) wires.

If the voltage in the wires is known :


Set the voltage value on the high voltage warning device.
As soon as a minimum distance is exceeded, a warning will sound.

If the voltage in the wires is unknown :

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.

Pulling a load at an angle is prohibited!


The crane is designed to lift loads vertically.
Pulling at an angle causes horizontal stress in addition to the vertical stress, which the crane has been 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 the
permitted stress level for the height of the boom head pulley.

DANGER: DO NOT pull a load at an angle!


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

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.

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.

At 1 to 3 sheave reeving, it is NOT permitted to add the rapid gear (269, 278, 279), if
the crane is loaded with more than 50% of its maximum permissible load carrying
capacity at the corresponding reach.

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

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 swinging.

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

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.

Moving persons
This crane is NOT designed to move any personnel.
It is prohibited to move or let anybody ride along on the load being lifted.

DANGER: Moving or letting any persons ride along on the load or load tackle is strictly
PROHIBITED.
It could cause a serious accident.

Danger of being crushed


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.

DANGER: When lowering the load, no personnel or objects may be below the load!
It could cause a serious accident!

General guidelines
The crane can be moved on even ground, with the axle suspension system locked, and with the telescopic
boom raised and equipment installed.

DANGER: When moving the crane with the equipment in place, you must make sure to keep
within the values and observe the notes on the following charts.
If this is not done, you could cause a serious accident, the crane could topple over.

Before moving the crane, the following must be done:


When planning the operation to move the crane from one area on the job site to another, with the equipment in
place, you must assure that the support area as well as the travel route is flat and even, (horizontal), and can
support the weight of the crane including the equipment.

1. The travel route must be checked before driving on it and before placing the outriggers to sup>
port the crane, to assure that it is even and level, and that there is no downhill slope and no une>
ven areas or obstacles in the road.

D A N G E R: The surface of the roadway may not show more than a total slope of 3∞ in the per>
missible tolerance range of +/> 0.10 m over a distance of 10 m !

2. Before the support procedure, the vehicle must be leveled in horizontal direction via the automatic leve>
ling regulation (button 116) until the indicator light !(117) lights up.
Then the axle suspension must be blocked with switch (120) . These procedures are prerequisite for driving
the crane with the attachment in place.

Carry out the support procedure, as described in chapter 3.05 .

3. After the crane operation


> Telescope the telescopic boom in all the way
> Turn the crane superstructure to the position shown on the chart, to the front or to the rear
> Lock the crane superstructure to the crane chassis
Swing the manual lever (261) down, the indicator light (306) must light up.
> Set the telescopic boom or folding jib * and telescopic boom to the angle noted on the corresponding load ca>
pacity chart.

DANGER: Before turning the crane superstructure, make sure that the crane is properly
supported in horizontal direction and give a warning signal with the horn.
The sliding arms must be pinned.
The crane superstructure must be locked to the chassis after turning it into the ve>
hicle lengthwise direction.

4. Lower the crane onto the blocked axles


Lower the crane carefully onto the blocked axles by lowering the outrigger cylinders.

DANGER: Constantly check the horizontal position of the crane While lowering the crane.

C A U T I O N : All wheels must touch the ground evenly, otherwise the axle suspension can be
damaged!
The travel route must be level on horizontal, and must be hard enough to safely
support the axle load.

In the crane cab, turn on the ignition for the travel motor (engine)
Whenever the travel motor is started, the DO NOT SHIFT indicator light in the digital indicator window!(209)
light up and turns off again after a few seconds. This means that the control of the indicator light is functioning
properly.

If the DNS indicator light does not light up when the ignition is turned on or remains on for a longer period of
time, then the system must be checked immediately.
If the DNS indicator light comes on during travel (except when starting) then the ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT
(ECU) control has found a diagnostics code . While it light up, short beeps can be heard from the gear control unit
of 8 seconds. They are acoustical notes that up or back shifting is limited and no changes in direction occur
any longer. The SELECT field on the control indicator is empty.

Note : See "Indication of stored codes for diagnostics indicator"


at the end of chapter !3.04 TRAVEL OPERATION ON PUBLIC ROADS.
If the DNS indicator light turns on and the ignition is turned off, then the gear remains in
"N" (neutral) until the DNS indicator light is being turned off.

Every time the engine is started, the warning light (301) lights up and turns off after a few seconds. This
means that the control of the warning light is functioning properly.

If the warning light (301) and the DNS indicator light in the digital indicator window (209) light up at the same
time during travel , then the gear may only be operated for a short time in the selected travel range, just long
enough to bring it to a service station.

CAUTION : The preselected gear may not be changed, i. e. continue travel in the selected gear,
only if the torque converter oil pressure is available (see chapter 3.04 , paragraph

Travel readiness, the engine is running at low idle speed

Travel > shifting


To drive the crane from the crane operatorπs cab, 2 forward gears and 1 reverse gear are available.
The shift stages 1/2 or 2/1 can be shifted under load.

C A U T I O N : Changing from neutral to reverse, reverse to forward and vice versa is only permitted
when the vehicle is at a standstill, the parking brake is applied and the engine is
running at low idle speed!

The travel speed can be regulated via the pedal (201) and the gear selector (208) for the automatic transmission.

Gear selector (208)


The various positions of the gear selector, their meaning and use are as follows:
Push the arrow key ≠ (up) orØ(down) to get to the desired gear.

The SELECT indicator shows the highest usable great, the MONITOR always shows the currently placed gear.

R (Reverse travel)
If the Reverse gear is turned on, the SELECT range selection indication and the MONITOR show an "R" . Wait
for about 1 to 2 seconds before giving gas.

N (Neutral)
On the SELECT range selector and the MONITOR indication appears the "N", if the neutral position has been
reached. This is the required shift position when starting the engine.

C A U T I O N : For safety reasons, before starting the engine, apply the parking brake. Do not let the
vehicle run out in low idle speed ( (SELECT indicator "N") , this eliminates the engine
braking action, making the gear lubrication insufficient.

D Slow driving
If the D key is pushed, the following can be shown on the SELECT range selection indicator and the MONITOR :
SELECT MONITOR
2 => 2
In this travel stage, the transmission can automatically shift up or back, the gear stage cannot be retained
manually.

SELECT MONITOR
6 => 1
In this travel stage, only the 2st gear is actuated, the 2nd gear is locked.
This gear is recommended if the crane must be moved at extremely slow speed or where load and terrain make
it necessary.

The engine runs at low idle speed


> On the gear selector (208), push the appropriate key for the desired travel direction (V or R (forward or
reverse) .

If the V or R key is pushed,


> a beeping sound can be heard
> in the window (209) under SELECT and MONITOR appears the indication V 6=>1 or R 6=>1

This shows that the automatic transmission is ready to work in the selected travel range.
A slight decrease in speed shows that the selected gear is shifted.

Release the parking brake


> Pull the parking brake lever (263) straight out and push it forward, indicator light (298) turns off.

Note: When the parking brake is released, the manual brake lever (263) points forward.
As long as the required brake release pressure of about 5.2 bar is not available in brake
circuit III, the parking brake will not release, even if the manual lever has been moved to
the front.
Move the parking brake lever (263) back again, increase the engine RPM by pushing the
pedal (200) to increase the pressure in brake circuit √.

CAUTION: Check the brakes immediately after the crane starts to move by pressing the brake
pedal (202) down.

Keep an eye on the following warning lights while driving:


> Oil pressure (290)
> Alternator, battery voltage travel engine (299),
> Coolant temperature (300)
> Warning light (301)

CAUTION: If the warning lights (290, 300 or 301) light up during travel, then the crane must be
stopped immediately, and the travel motor (engine) must be turned off via the
engine Stop button (320).
Low engine oil pressure or high coolant temperature can cause serious engine
damage.
Low oil pressure and (or) high oil temperature in the circuit for the torque converter
/ automatic transmission can cause serious transmission damage.

> Add Diesel fuel as soon as warning light (289) lights up .

CAUTION: Do not let the fuel tank get completely empty, because it will become necessary to
bleed the entire fuel system .

solid ground which provides sufficient traction and the gear is no longer required.

Note: For details on the axle suspension for off road driving, refer to
"AXLE SUSPENSION / LOCKING SYSTEM", chapter 3.03.

Hydraulic rear axle steering *


The rear axle steering makes it possible to move in the wheels of the 3rd and 4th axle in the same direction for
tight turning radii and to offset the crane (dog or crab walk).

CAUTION: The rear axle steering may NOT be used while driving on public roads.

To offset the crane (dog walk), all wheels must be turned into the same direction.
For tight turning radii, the wheels of the front axle must be turned in travel direction and the wheels for the two
rear axles must be against the travel direction.
The angle of the rear axles should be about the same as the angle for the front axle to prevent the tires from
∫chaffing∫ or rubbing against each other.

For the equipment configuration ∫CRANE OPERATION FREESTANDING ON TIRES∫, the crane must be po>
sitioned in vehicle lengthwise direction to the rear and must be mechanically locked to the chassis.

DANGER : The crane may only be operated "freestanding, on tires" and with suspended load if
the required load capacity charts have been programmed and set on the LICCON
safe load indicator system.
The instructions of the appropriate load capacity chart MUST be followed!
Non > adherence can cause serious accidents!

11. Crane operation ™freestanding on tires , working range to the ear∫

1.1 All tires must be inflated to the correct tire pressure, as noted in the load capacity chart for crane opera>
tion ∫free standing on tires" .

1.2 The boom may be moved, even without a load, only in ranges where load capacity values are available for
∫free standing, on tires∫, otherwise there is a danger that the crane will tip over.

1.3 The ground must be able to securely support the maximum operating weigh t of the crane and the weight
of the suspended load.

1.4 The ground must be level and without any slopes .

1.5 The axle suspension must be blocked,


> switch (120) must be turned on.

1.6 The crane superstructure must be in lengthwise vehicle direction ∫to the rear∫ and mechanically locked
to the chassis,
> To do so, move the locking lever (261) ∫downward∫, the indicator light (306) must light up.

1.7 The slewing brake must be applied,


> switch (272) must be turned on.

1.8 For safety reason, always try to work with the crane supported, even in cases, when you could work
∫freestanding on tires".

1.9 For safety reason, the crane must be supported and horizontally aligned before turning the crane super>
structure into the working position ∫to the rear∫ and before lifting the telescopic boom from the boom re>
tainer .
To do so, extend the sliding arms at least to the support basis 8.1m ¥ 2,3m (note the colored marks on
the sliding arms).
The telescopic boom must be fully retracted.
The LICCON safe load indicator must be set to the corresponding operating mode.
Proceed the same way to return the crane superstructure from working position "free standing on tires,
working range to the rear" into the travel condition.

1.10 If possible, the 4 sliding arms should remain extended and pinned and the outrigger cylinders with in>
stalled outrigger pads should be lowered close to the ground, so that the ground can support itself, if it
should give.

1.11 The LICCON safe load indicator system must be set to the operating mode "FREESTANDING*, ON TI>
RES" .

1.12 The telescopic boom may be telescoped out only to a maximum length of 17.4 m .

2. Driving the crane with an attached load, ONLY TO THE REAR*


The crane can be moved with an attached load ∫to the rear∫ , if the notes in paragraph 1 are strictly ob>
served.

In addition, the following applies:


2. 1 The attached load must be carried as close as possible to the ground and must be secured to prevent it
from swinging.

2. 2 Drive only :
> in 1st gear.
> with utmost care and in step by step speed.
> the least possible increase in speed and careful braking action.
> Avoid jerky travel movements.

3 There is a danger of tipping over or a danger of overload :

3.1 if the crane superstructure is not positioned in lengthwise travel direction to the rear.

3.2 if the boom is extended to a length of more than 17.4m and the crane superstructure is turned from the
vehicle lengthwise direction.

3.3 if the axle suspension is not blocked,

3.4 if the ground is not able to securely carry the maximum operating weight and the weight of the suspen>
ded load,

3.5 if the ground is not level and without slopes.

3.6 if you drive too quickly with a load or if you start out or slow down jerkily or brake.

3.7 if the outrigger cylinders with installed outrigger pads are not lowered to just above the ground.

3.8 if the loads and / or radii given in the load capacity charts are exceeded or fallen below, depending on the
boom length.

3.9 if the sufficient distance to excavations, ditches and slopes is not adhered to .

3.10 if the load starts to swing due to improper crane control.

3.11 if the load is pulled diagonally. Pulling the load diagonally transverse to the boom lengthwise direction
is the most dangerous action.

Description
In two>hook operations, a distinction must be made between

1. Operation with mast stub, for which no load capacity charts are available, and
2. Operation with boom extension (auxiliary boom, folding jib, luffing jib).
3. Operation with load reversing device.

1. Operation with mast stub *


This operating mode makes quick lifts via the mast stub (hoist gear 2) possible; the reeved in hook block (hoist
gear 1) remains fully reeved on the telescopic boom.

The mast stub is generally operated in the (T) tele operation mode.

DANGER: The overload safety device ist only effective if the reeving on the telescopic boom is
the same or larger than the reeving on the mast stub. If this is not assured, the hoist
gear 1 or the hoist cable can be overloaded.
The LICCON safe load indicator system must be set to the smaller reeving of
both hooks.

> Set operating mode "T" on the LICCON safe load indicator system.
> Enter the cable reeving to reflect the actual reeving on the mast stub.

CAUTION: For crane operation with mast stub, be aware that the radius and load indicator of
the safe load indicator system is not exact, because the mast stub is not being
cosidered in the boom geometry.

The safe load indicator system must be set to the actual reeving on the mast stub
annd the corresponding CODE No. for the appropriate boom length must be
entered.

In addition, the counterweight, the support base, etc. must also be cosidered.

By setting the smaller reeving number of the two hooks, it is assured that the crane ist not overloaded.
Add the weight of the hook block (load hook) and the tackle to the weight of the load, which is to be lifted.

2. Operations with the folding fly jib and with the special auxiliary boom *

This capability is provided for turning the load while simultaneously operating both hoisting gears.

DANGER: The load must always be raised or lowered to 100% with the weakest component (fly
jib or special auxiliary boom*).

> Enter the reeving in the LICCON in accordance with the reeving present (folding fly jib or special auxiliary
boom *).

DANGER: The reeving on the main hook (telescopic boom) must be equal to or larger than the
reeving on the jib (folding fly jib or special auxiliary boom *).
If this is not observed, hoisting gear 1 or the hoisting cable could be overloaded.

> For operations with the folding fly jib and the special auxiliary boom *, the LICCON must be set to the
operating mode "Folding fly jib".

> Enter the cable reeving in the equipment mode diagram of the LICCON in accordance with the reeving
present on the jib.

In this case the maximum total load corresponds to the maximum permissible load on the folding fly jib given
in the corresponding load capacity table for jib operations.
The weight of the hook block and the slinging tackle must be added to the loads to be hoisted.

CAUTION: The radius display is given corresponding to the entered folding fly jib.

The individual loading capacity per hook during two> hook operations corresponds
to the permissible load given in the appropriate load capacity table for operations
with folding fly jib.

The sum loading capacity corresponds during two>hook operations to the


permissible load given in the appropriated load capacity table for operations with
folding fly jib.

DANGER: Hoisting a load with 2 hooks is only permissible in accordance with diagrams Va.1,
Va.2 and Va.3.
If this is not observed, there is a danger of accidents due to the overloading of the
individual crane components.
Protection via the overload safety device is then no longer provided.

If a load is hoisted in accordance with Va.1, the load must first be completely hoisted to 100% with the most
outer hook.

Note: As soon as the inner hook is drawn, the load display in the overload safety device is
incorrect!.

DANGER: If both hook are loaded, luffing the boom is prohibited!


Protection via the overload safety device is then no longer provided.
For this reason, the load must always be taken up at the maximum radius.

Installation procedure

DANGER: For the installation, a safe installation base (working platform) must be used, DO
NOT improvise!
There is a danger of falling down and causing a serious accident!.

Prerequisites for the installation of all folding jibs:


> The crane is properly supported and horizontally aligned,
> the counterweight is installed on the counterweight frame, according to the corresponding load capacity chart,
> the telescopic boom is fully telescoped in (retracted) ,
> the folding jib is mounted for transport on the telescopic boom pivot section ,
> the travel and crane engine is running.
> the telescopic boom is positioned to the rear or to the side, luffed down to 0∞ position,
angle indicator is at 0∞, see control and indicator unit of LICCON system.

DANGER: The telescopic boom must be in 0∞ position, otherwise there is a danger of causing a
serious accident because the folding jib might swing out by itself when the locks are
released!

If the folding jib is to be used for work for a longer period of time, then the hook block on the telescopic boom
should be unreeved and the hoist cable for winch 1 should be used when operating the folding jib .
This simplifies work with the folding jib, in addition, this will eliminate the load reduction for the reeved in
hook block on the telescopic boom .

If the hoist cable of winch 2* is used for work with the folding jib, then the hook block on the telescopic boom do>
es not have to be unreeved.

CAUTION : In this case, the load carrying capacities of the folding jib are reduced by the weight
of the reeved in hook block.

1.1.1 Installation of the two part * folding jib as ªSHORT´ extension (working length 8.4m)

> Unreeve the hoist cable on the telescopic boom head,


> Wind up the hoist cable from hoist gear 2 * all the way onto the cable drum.

DANGER: This work must be done from a stable base.


Extreme caution must be exercised when walking on the telescopic boom.
There is a danger of causing a serious accident due to erroneous control of crane
functions and slipping on the telescopic boom.

> Lock hoist gear 2 via the LICCON system.


> Extend the telescopic boom to about 8.4 m (depending on the length of the folding jib in use) and place the
hook block on the ground,
> on the pulley head of the telescopic boom, release the hoist limit switch weight and the hoist cable on the lock
(cable fixed point).
> Remove the cable retainer bars on the pulley head of the telescopic boom and pull the hoist cable from the pla>
ced down hook block,

6.04 SLIDING ARM MONITOR 022922>01

6.04 SLIDING ARM MONITOR 022922>01

General
The LICCON sliding arm monitor checks the support width data entered by the crane operator to select the load
capacity chart on the LICCON panel.
However, it does NOT monitor if the crane is properly supported and if the sliding arms have been pinned
properly in their intended positions.

The support bases


This crane can be operated in 3 different support widths :

* wide 7.2 m

* reduced 5.0 m

* retracted 2.3 m

CAUTION : In case of ∫retracted, reduced and wide™ support points, the sliding arms MUST be
secured with pins. These support bases have no tolerances and the sliding arms
must be pinned on these support bases.

The following exception is permitted for ∫retracted∫ and ∫reduced∫ support base:
If a sliding arm cannot be pinned on the intended position due to current circumstances, then it is permitted to
exceed the extension length toward the outside. In this case, the sliding arms cannot be pinned. To select the
load capacity chart, choose the next smaller load capacity chart for the LICCON system.

Example:
Sliding arm is between the pin holes of ∫retracted∫ and ∫reduced∫
$> select "retracted".
Sliding arm is between pin holes of ∫reduced∫ and ∫wide∫
$> select "reduced".
CAUT ION: If a pin hole is only some millimeters away, so that the pin cannot be pinned, then
you must choose the load capacity chart for the next lower sliding arm length.

184373

496
6.04 SLIDING ARM MONITOR 022922>01

Working with the sliding arm monitor


Preparation of the crane
When the crane is utilized on the job site, the sliding arms are to be extended to the planned width for the
application, they are to be pinned and supported according to the operation manual. Then the load capacity
chart, which corresponds to the desired working range, the utilized ballast and the support width of the crane,
must be set on the LICCON panel. If this load capacity chart corresponds to the support base the sliding arm
monitor recognizes, then the crane operator is shows the load capacity chart on the monitor, pushes the "OK"
button and the operating view appears, the crane is operational.

Function and error indication of sliding arm monitor when setting the load capacity chart
(fig. 1)
If the selected support base and the sliding arm length of all sliding arms do not match, and the operator pushes
the "OK" button, an error message will appear ("ERROR 155") and the crane cannot be equipped according to
the preselected chart. In this case, the operator must either select a sliding arm length which matches the chart
or he must extend all four sliding arms to a length, which matches the preselected chart. It is not possible, for
example, to select a chart with a reduced base, if the supports are retracted; it is also not possible to select a
reduced or retracted support base chart if the crane is actually operated with a wide support base.

Function and error indication of sliding arm monitor during operation


If a valid load capacity chart has been set, and it was checked by the sliding arm monitor, then the crane can be
operated according to the appropriate guidelines in the operation manual and according to the load capacity
charts.

Monitoring the sliding arm lengths (fig. 2)


Just as when setting the load capacity chart, the position of the sliding arms is constantly being checked during
crane operation, and it is constantly being compared with the entered load capacity chart. If any deviations are
found, the system will also report "ERROR 155", the LICCON safe load indicator system reports overload and
the crane can only be operated by bypassing the LICCON safe load indicator system. In addition, the slewing
gear will be turned off when at standstill, and cannot be restarted if not in ∫installation∫ mode. The slewing
gear can also be shut off during rotation.

Monitoring the support forces (fig. 3)


In addition to the sliding arm length, the support forces are monitored. The system constantly checks if their
sum exceeds a minimum crane weight without attachment. If this is not the case, the error message
"ERROR!154" is shown, the LICCON safe load indicator system reports overload and the crane can only be
operated by bypassing the LICCON safe load indicator system. In addition, the slewing gear will be turned off
when at standstill, and cannot be restarted if not in ∫installation∫ mode. The slewing gear is not shut off during
rotation. The support force monitor has no influence on the load capacity chart adjustment in the configuration
program.

498
6.04 SLIDING ARM MONITOR 022922>01

Interpretation of extension condition by the sliding arm monitor


The sliding arm monitor measures the length of the various sliding arms and checks, if they are in the
preset,permissible intervals. If at least one sliding arm is not within such an interval, then the crane cannot be
equipped with a load capacity chart in the configuration program, as the crane must be supported and operated
with the proper sliding arm lengths.
If all sliding arms are extended to permissible, but different lengths, then that sliding arm, which shows the
smallest value, is taken as the basis for selecting the load capacity chart. The numbering sequence corresponds
to the sequence of support bases, as they are shown in the configuration program, when one pushes the F5
button several times.
As an example, the illustration on the opposite page shows in which extension condition which support is
permitted when selecting the load capacity chart. The last case shows a situation, where a sliding arm is
between two permissible extension conditions.

Error procedure
It must always be differentiated between an operational error by the crane operator and a problem due to a total
sensor failure or an erroneous sensor function.
If a sensor fails completely, then the monitor recognizes a length for this sliding arm, which corresponds to the
retracted condition. Automatically only a chart with retracted supports can be selected. However, as a result, it
is possible that no chart can be selected because in this operating mode, for example "TK" operation, the crane
cannot even be operated with retracted supports.
If a sensor does send a signal, which is within the permissible test range, but it is wrong, then the incorrect
sensor value can be deducted, and the retracted condition will be simulated. An incorrect length value can also
be given if the length sensor cable of a sliding arm is twisted up in the sliding arm box.

CAUTION: If a sensor fails completely or the retracted condition is simulated, it must be


assured that no sliding arm is between two pinable positions, because this could
cause a dangerous situation even for load capacities for retracted conditions.
For support points ∫RETRACED∫, ∫REDUCED∫ and ∫WIDE∫, the sliding arms
must always be pinned.

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

CAUTION : Perform all maintenance tasks on the engine and service fuel, oil and air filters ac>
cording to the separately issued Operation Manual for !ªLIEBHERR Diesel engi>
nes´ .

Never step on the fuel lines.


When changing the filter, especially on the V>area of the engine,spread out a layer of absorbent material be>
fore 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 re>
mains free of Diesel fuel, otherwise there is a risk of causing a

FIRE!

When you change the filters and bleed the system, you must assure utmost
cleanliness. Any fuel spills must be dried up.

N o t e: When changing filters or working on the fuel system, and if there are any filters in the V>
area of the engine, we recommend to support the crane from the rear so there is a slight drop
towards the front.
Any fuel spill can then flow toward the front away from the V>area.

Check the engine coolant (Fig. 1)

DANGER: Check the engine coolant only when the engine is cold!
The radiator cap must be cool enough to touch. Avoid contact with components
containing coolant, since it could cause SEVERE SKIN BURNS !

The coolant reservoir may only be refilled via the filler neck.

> Turn the radiator cap on the filling neck of the coolant reservoir to the left, to the first notch to release the
pressure.
> Remove the radiator cap.
> Add coolant, as specified on the lubrication chart until it runs over.
> Reinstall the cap and close it tightly.

CAUTION : If coolant must be added, add it in the same ratio, as specified on the LUBRICA>
TION CHART.

Ratio: 50 % corrosion protective fluid and antifreeze,


50 % fresh water.

Check oil level and filters on the engine (Fig. 2)


The oil must be between the minimum and maximum ( MIN and MAX) mark on the dipstick.

CAUTION : Make sure to observe utmost cleanliness, to prevent any dirt infiltration into the en>
gine .

> To check the oil level in the engine, the crane must be in horizontal position.
> Turn the engine off and wait 2 to 3 minutes until the oil has drained into the oil pan.
> Pull the dipstick, wipe it off,reinsert it and pull it out again.
> After checking the oil level, make sure to push in the dipstick tightly.
> If necessary, add engine oil as specified on the lubrication chart.

CAUTION : If the oil level has dropped below the minimum ( MIN ) mark , you must add engine
oil as specified on the lubrication chart until the oil level is again between the mini>
mum and maximum (MIN and MAX) mark.
If no oil is added, the engine can be severely damaged.

To change the oil:


Refer to the separately issued !LIEBHERR!Diesel engine manual .

Check engine air filter


The air filters are electronically monitored.
If a vacuum is created in the air intake line due to contaminated filter elements, the corresponding warning
light (45) on the instrument panel in the driverπs cab will light up.
In that case, clean or replace the filter elements.

To change the filter:


Refer to the separately issued !LIEBHERR!Diesel engine manual .

Check oil level and filters on the automatic transmission

The oil level can be checked two ways:


1. By hand, by pulling and reading the dipstick (Fig. 3)
2. Electronically, via the display in the gear selector.

Note: The oil level can only be checked manually if no counterweight plates are placed on
the chassis.

The oil level must always be checked, at least twice, with the crane standing in horizontal position and with the
engine running.
To be able to check the oil level in the transmission with the dipstick, the oil must be at operating temperature.
When measuring the oil with the dipstick, changes in gear oil temperatures between 60∞C and 104∞C (140 . . . .
220∞F) are automatically considered.
In temperatures <60∞C (140∞F) or >104∞C (140∞F) , the indication is invalid!

Check the oil level more often. If some individual test values do not fit, check if the gear vent is clean and not
plugged up.

Gear vent on the automatic transmission


The vent is at the highest point in the gear housing.
It prevents pressure build up within the transmission and must be clean and clear at all times.
The amount of dirt and dust collected in the vent determines how often it must be cleaned.

Maintenance
When cleaning the gear, care must be taken.
Do not direct the steam or water directly onto the gear vent to prevent moisture infiltration and resulting gear
damage.

Replacement
Use only a suitable wrench.
Pliers or pipe wrenches damage or destroy the neck of the bleeder vent and cause metal particles to fall into the
gear, resulting in gear damage.
Tighten the new gear vent to 12 . . . . 16Nm (9 . . . . 12 lb ft) .

1.1To check the oil level by hand

DANGER: If the following safety measures are not observed, then it is possible that the vehicle
will suddenly start to move!
> Gear in neutral position"N"
> Parking brake applied
> Wheels supported with wedges / wheel chocks to prevent the crane from rolling
off!

> Before pulling the dipstick, clean the oil filler port carefully, to ensure that no dirt or foreign particles get into
the oil filler tube.

COLD CHECK

C AU T I O N : Do not start the engine before you are sure that there is sufficient gear oil in the
transmission.
Pull the dipstick and check if the static oil level is near the — "HOT FULL" mark.

> Park the vehicle on level ground, apply the parking brake, secure the wheels with wedges / wheel chocks to
prevent the crane from rolling off.

> Let the engine run for at least one minute in low idle (500 . . . . 800 RPM) in "N" , apply the service brake, se>
lect "D" and let the engine run for 30 seconds at 1000 . . . . 1500 RPM; then select "R" to bleed the system.

Then switch to "N" and let the engine run at low idle (500 . . . . 800 RPM)
> with the engine running, release the dipstick by turning it counterclockwise, remove it and wipe it with a cle>
an rag.

> Reinsert the dipstick and pull it out again.


> Read the oil level.

> Repeat the test procedure and compare the results.


If the oil level is within the ” "COLD RUN" mark, then the gear may be operated until the oil is warm enough
to take a "HOT RUN" measurement.

1.1 Continuation

COLD CHECK
If the oil level is NOT within the ” "COLD RUN" mark, then oil must be added (or drained) until the oil level
is in the center of the "COLD RUN" mark.

> As soon as you can, after the engine has reached its normal operating temperature (71∞C . . . . 93∞C) , CHECK
THE OIL LEVEL AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE.

CAUTION : Do not let the gear run for an extended period of time before checking the oil level
at operating temperature.
Operation with incorrect oil level will cause gear damage.

An exact oil level check is only possible, if


> the engine runs at low idle (500 . . . . 800 RPM) ,
> the gear oil has the correct temperature
> the vehicle is standing on level ground.

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE


Make sure that the gear oil has reached its normal operating temperature

> Operate the gear in stage "D" until operating temperature has been reached.
> Oil pan temperature (71∞C . . . . 93∞C)
> Converter > output temperature (71∞C . . . . 93∞C)

> Park the vehicle on level ground, secure the wheels with wheel chocks to prevent it from rolling off.

> Shift to "N" , actuate the service brake and let the engine run at low idle (500 . . . . 800 RPM) .

> With the engine running, loosen the dipstick by turning it counterclockwise and wipe it off.
> Reinsert the dipstick and pull it out again. Read the oil level.

> Repeat the procedure and compare the results.


If the oil level is within the — "HOT RUN" mark, then the gear is ready for safe travel operation.
If the oil level is NOT within the — "HOT RUN" mark oil must be added (or drained) until the oil level is in the
center of the — "HOT RUN" mark.

> Reinsert the dipstick and pull it out again. Read the oil level.
> Repeat the procedure and compare the results, making sure that the results are consistent.

3. Oil and filter change

The oil and the inner oil filter must be changed in intervals, as specified on the chart. Depending on operating
conditions, the oil might have to be changed even sooner.

If discoloration, strong smell or oil analysis reports show contamination or increased temperature, then the oil
must be changed.

Local conditions, frequency and severity of application can decrease oil change intervals.

APPLICATION GENERAL OIL AND FILTER CHANGE INTERVALS

On road First after 8000 km,then every 40.000km or 18 months*

Off road First after 500 operating hours, then every 500hrs. or 18 months*

* whatever comes first

CAUTION : For gear oil, do not use containers or filling devices which had been used earlier to
mix antifreeze mixture.
Antifreeze and coolant fluids contain ethylene glycole, which will damage the coup>
ling disks if it gets into the gear.

Oil level on hydraulic tank (Fig. 10) for:


Steering, outrigger and axle suspension hydraulics

Note: Upper mark = maximum oil level, all cylinders are retracted
Lower mark = minimum oil level, all cylinders are extended

> With the crane in horizontal position, the oil level must be at the center of the corresponding sight gauge.
If no oil is visible in the sight gauge, oil MUST be added as specified on the lubrication chart, until the oil level
is again at the center of the corresponding sight gauge.

CAUTION: The outrigger cylinder as well as the sliding arms must be retracted when checking
the oil, and the vehicle must be brought down to the lowest axle suspension level. If
you would check the oil with the outrigger cylinders extended and with the vehicle
at a high axle suspension level, you would run the risk of adding too much oil and
overfilling the system.
When the cylinders are retracted, the oil is discharged through the bleeder valve.
Do not retract the cylinders too quickly, this can cause damage to the oil tank.

D A N G E R: If the oil level has dropped below the minimum mark, oil must be added according
to the lubrication chart.
If the oil level is too low, the hydraulic pump can be damaged, which increases the
risk of causing an accident, due to a decrease in steering ability.
In addition, the outrigger cylinders cannot be fully extended and the vehicle cannot
be leveled.

Add oil :
> Add oil, as specified on the lubrication chart until the center of the upper sight gauge, Fig. 10

CAUTION : Use a fine mesh strainer to add oil.

until all wheels are off the ground.
> Turn every wheel until the drain plug ( b ) is at the lowest point, the mark ( c ) must be exactly horizontal.
> Remove the plug on the filler and control port ( a ) , the oil level must reach the lower edge of the inspection
port. Add oil if necessary, as specified on the lubrication chart.
> Apply a new seal ring to the plug for the filler and inspection port ( a ) , reinsert it and tighten by hand.

CAUTION: Make sure to observe utmost cleanliness to prevent any dirt or contamination of the
internal spaces of the axle or planetary gear.

Oil level is axles (axle casings)

Check the oil level


> Position the crane in horizontal position.
> The oil level in the axle casings of the driven axles must reach the lower edge of the corresponding inspection
port. Add oil, if necessary, as specified on the lubrication chart.

Hydraulic hoses
The hydraulic hoses must be checked at least once a year by qualified personnel to assure they are in safe wor>
king condition.

Changing hoses
The hoses and lines must be replaced periodically.

Due to our experiences with mobile cranes, we recommend the maximum usage:
> 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 immediate>
ly.

Axle suspension/Axle locking system


The pretension pressure in the diaphragm reservoirs of the axle suspension system must be 45 bar .

CAUTION : In case of strongly fluctuating ambient temperatures, for examples in countries


with extremely warm or cold temperatures, and in countries with great temperatu>
re differences between summer and winter, the pretension pressures MUST be
checked and corrected, if necessary.
If the pretension pressure is too low, the diaphragm reservoirs will be too
overworked and damaged.
If the pretension pressure is too high, the spring action in the axle suspension
system is no longer assured, and the vehicle can be damaged.

The pretension pressure in each of the reservoirs must be checked individually, as follows:
> Move the switch (120) to axles ∫ suspended ∫ .
> Push button 122, 123, 124, 125) ªon the front´ until the oil has drained from the reservoirs.
> Check the pretension pressure with a testing and inflation device and correct the pressure, if necessary.

DANGER: To fill the reservoirs, DO NOT use a i r or o x y g e n.


This can cause an E X P L O S I O N !
The pressure in the nitrogen cylinder MAY NOT exceed the maximum 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 infla>
ting device.

After the pressure test :


> push button (116) "LEVEL" , until the indicator light (117) turns on.
The vehicle is automatically raised via the axle suspension cylinders to the required height for on road travel.

Tires
> Check the tires, including the spare tire, for damage.
The depth of the tire treads (including the spare tire) may not fall below the legal limit.
The tire pressure, including the spare tire, must be correspond to the recommended pressure given for the par>
ticular tires, which are installed on your vehicle.
Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold.

Tire pressure: refer to TECHNICAL DATA, chapter 1.03.


Tire change: refer to paragraph 5 Tire change, chapter 9.02.

DANGER: The risk of having an accident is greatly increased if you drive the vehicle and the>
re is any tire damage, if the tires are worn and the treads are too low, and if the air
pressure in the individual tires differs.

7.04 MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR THE CRANE VEHICLE 023413>00

Wheel alignment
The wheel alignment must be checked in regular intervals.
If this is not done, it will cause increased tire wear.
If there was an especially high exposure, for example if the wheels hit the side of the curb, then it is especially
important to check the wheel alignment .

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

To change the wheel


> Loosen the lug nuts on the defective wheel and support the crane properly.
Refer to SUPPORT, chapter 3.05 THE CRANE AT THE JOBSITE .
> Lift off the spare tire with the crane, set it next to the defective tire, make sure to secure it to prevent it from
rolling off or tipping over.

Note: Never lay tires down on the side, it is very difficult to raise them again.

> Replace the defective wheel after removing the lug nuts with the spare tire, reinstall the lug nuts and tighten
them in crosswise fashion.

CAUTION : Do not overtighten the wheel lugs!


The max. permissible tightening torque is 600 Nm.
Recheck the wheel lugs after driving the first 50 and 100 km, to assure they are
tight.

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 be>
low 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

If any damaged rim components are found, they must be replaced immediately with new components. If chip>
ped paint or minor rust is found, the rust layer should be removed and the area should be repaired with com>
mercially available paint. You must make sure that the surface is smooth, especially on the tire seating surfa>
ce.

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

Electrical System > Lighting System


The maintenance of the electrical system is basically limited to changing defective fuses and bulbs and to batte>
ry maintenance.

CAUTION: Always replace defective fuses with fuses ob the same amperage. Never use a diffe>
rent 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 electri>
cal system.

The batteries must be kept clean and dry.


The vent holes in the cell plugs must always be kept clear.
Disconnect 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 the al>
ternator.

The electrolyte level in the batteries must be checked once a month, in the summer and in warm climates it
must be checked at least once a week.
The battery acid ( electrolyte) level must be at approximately 15 mm (5/8∫) above the top edge of the plates. Add
distilled water, if necessary.

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

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

spec. gravity
Condition of battery charge
[kg/dm3]
1.28 well charge
1.20 half charged, recharge
1.12 dead, recharge immediately

The battery must be especially well charged before and during the cold season, since the electrical power con>
sumption increases as the battery performance decreases.

C AU T I O N : If the batteries must be recharged, use DC current only, the current may never be
higher than 1/10th of the battery capacity.

Example: To recharge a 143 Amp battery , the charging current may not be higher than 14.3 Amps .

CAUTION: When working on the electrical system of the crane, and any time any welding must
be done on any part of the crane, the battery MUST be disconnected from the elec>
trical circuit by turning the battery master switch off

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

CAUTION : Perform all maintenance tasks on the engine and service fuel, oil and air filters
according to the separately issued Operation Manual for !ªLIEBHERR Diesel
engines´ .

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

FIRE!

When you change the filters and bleed the system, you must assure utmost
cleanliness. Any fuel spills must be dried up.

Check the engine coolant (Fig. 1)

DANGER: Check the engine coolant only when the engine is cold!
The radiator cap must be cool enough to touch. Avoid contact with components
containing coolant, since it could cause SEVERE SKIN BURNS !

The coolant reservoir may only be refilled via the filler neck.

> Turn the radiator cap on the filling neck of the coolant reservoir to the left, to the first notch to release the
pressure.
> Remove the radiator cap.
> Add coolant, as specified on the lubrication chart until it runs over.
> Reinstall the cap and close it tightly.

CAUTION : If coolant must be added, add it in the same ratio, as specified on the
LUBRICATION CHART.

Ratio: 50 % corrosion protective fluid and antifreeze,


50 % fresh water.

Check oil level and filters on the engine (Fig. 2)


The oil must be between the upper and lower mark on the dipstick.

CAUTION : Make sure to observe utmost cleanliness, to prevent any dirt infiltration into the
engine .

> To check the oil level in the engine, the crane must be in horizontal position.
> Turn the engine off and wait 2 to 3 minutes until the oil has drained into the oil pan.
> Pull the dipstick, wipe it off,reinsert it and pull it out again.
> After checking the oil level, make sure to push in the dipstick tightly.
> If necessary, add engine oil as specified on the lubrication chart.

CAUTION : If the oil level has dropped below the minimum ( MIN ) mark , you must add engine
oil as specified on the lubrication chart until the oil level is again between the
minimum and maximum (MIN and MAX) mark.
If no oil is added, the engine can be severely damaged.

To change the oil:


Refer to the separately issued !LIEBHERR!Diesel engine manual .

Check the air filter on the crane engine (fig. 10)


The air filters are electronically monitored.
If a vacuum is created in the air intake line due to contaminated filter elements, the corresponding warning
light (304) will light up.
In that case, clean or replace the filter elements.

To change the filter:


Refer to the separately issued !LIEBHERR!Diesel engine manual .

Oil level on hydraulic tank for:


crane hydraulic, fan drive and air conditioner compressor*

> With the crane in horizontal position, the oil level must be at the center of the corresponding sight gauge
(fig.!6).
If no oil is visible in the sight gauge, oil MUST be added as specified on the lubrication chart, until the oil level
is again at the center of the corresponding sight gauge.

CAUTION: The luffing cylinder and the telescoping cylinders must be retracted when checking
the oil.
If you would check the oil with the cylinders extended, then you would run the risk
of adding too much oil and overfilling the system.
If they are retracted, the oil is discharged through the bleeder valve.
Do not retract the cylinders too quickly, this can cause damage to the oil tank.

D A N G E R: If the oil level has dropped below the minimum mark, oil must be added according
to the lubrication chart.
If the oil level is too low, the hydraulic pumps can be damaged, which increases the
risk of causing an accident, due to a decrease in steering ability.
In addition, the cylinders cannot be fully extended.

Note : If the cylinders (luffing and telescoping cylinders) are all the way extended, then the oil
level is visible in the lower sight gauge.

Add oil :
> Add oil, as specified on the lubrication chart until the center of the upper sight gauge, Fig. 6

CAUTION : Use a fine mesh strainer to add oil.

Central lubrication system (fig. 13)


The crane superstructure is equipped with a central lubrication system. It is permissible to clean the crane with
water or steam.
All grease points of the slewing gear, the bearing of the pivot section, the bearings of the luffing cylinder and
hoist winches are automatically supplied with the proper amount of grease according to the operating hours.
The lubrication procedure takes two minutes, every 1.5 hours.

CAUTION: The lubrication interval must be set to 1.5 hours.


If the crane is not being operated for longer than 3 months, then it must be
lubricated every 3 month with an external grease pump on the grease fitting
block!(3), until grease emerges from all lube points.
Then repeat the corresponding crane movement several times and repeat the
lubrication procedure.

Check the maximum tilt play on the slewing connection:


The maximum tilt play is 1.0 mm.
If the play exceeds this measurement, change the slewing connection.

DANGER: If the maximum permissible tilt play is exceeded, there is the danger that the
slewing gear will break away and separate and cause the crane to topple over .

Test procedure:

1) Support the crane on tis widest support base and align it horizontally.
2) Turn the superstructure to the side or to the rear and extend the telescopic boom all the way.
3) Turn the superstructure and check if it moves freely and quietly, without any jerks .
If the superstructure jerks or moves sluggishly, then the slewing connection is damaged.

4) Attach the test gauge holder on the slewing platform and bring the telescopic boom into horizontal position.
5) Place the test gauge in such a way that the test pin is located on the outer ring ( see Fig 8 ) and set the test
gauge to ∫0∫.

6) Luff up the telescopic boom all the way and telescope it in.
7) Read the tilt play on the gauge.

8) Turn the superstructure a little, reset the gauge to zero and repeat steps 6 and 7.
9) Repeat this procedure on 2 to 3 other points.

10) Telescope the telescopic boom and place it down.


11) Remove the gauge and the holder, and store .

It is important that the pretension pressure noted in the hydraulic schematic and on the diaphragm reservoirs
is available.
The pretension pressure must be checked in each reservoir.

CAUTION : In case of strongly fluctuating ambient temperatures, for examples in countries


with extremely warm or cold temperatures, and in countries with great
temperature differences between summer and winter, the pretension pressures
MUST be checked and corrected, if necessary.

To check the pretension pressure


Prerequisite:
> The crane engine is turned off, this relieves the accumulators on the fluid side.

> Check the pretension pressure with a testing and inflation device and correct the pressure, if necessary.

DANGER: To fill the reservoirs, DO NOT use a i r or o x y g e n.


This can cause an

EXPLOSION !

The pressure in the nitrogen cylinder MAY NOT exceed the maximum 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.

Note : In addition, you must observe any applicable national or local regulations
regarding pressurized container checks.

Telescopic boom
The internal sliding surfaces of the telescopic sections (Kunststoff Gleitlagerplatten) are lubricated via grease
fittings (2) in the bearing pads.
These grease fittings (2) are accessible from the outside via inspection ports on both sides of the telescopic
sections, if the telescopic sections are extended to 92%.
For the internal sliding surfaces, you must use a special grease, as specified on the lubrication chart.
The external sliding surfaces can be spraved with special grease.

CAUTION: After appolying the special grease, wait for 4 to 8 hours to let the grease cure.

Telescope cables
The telescopic section — is extended and retraced via a single hydraulic cylinder .
The telescopic sections “ and ” are extended and retracted via a dual hydraulic cylinder.
Telescopic section ‘ is extended and retraced synchronously with the telescopic cylinder ”by a cable
mechanism.

Extension of telescopic sections ‘ occurs via two 5way flat cables (telescopic cable).
Retraction of telescopic sections ‘ occurs via two 2way flat cables (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.

C AU T I O N : If a new cable is installed, then it must be the same make and strength and the same
diameter as the original cable.
The telescopic flat cables must always be replaced as a set.

Maintenance
In addition, the telescopic boom should be removed after 20,000 operating hours or once every 10 years, so all
bearings, telescopic and return cables, cable pulleys and telescopic cylinders can be inspected close up.
The telescopic cables are pretensioned by the return cables.
In case this pretension has slackened due to permanent stretching of the cables, then the return cables must be
retightened.

To retighten the return cables


Extend telescopic section ‘ by about 1 m and tighten the return cables on both sides evenly with the
adjustment nuts (1) , until the return cables are tightened.
Visually check the cables via the side openings in the telescopic sections.
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
”!and!‘ must be checked.

To check the synchronization


Carefully telescope the telescopic sections in. The stop of telescopic section ” must touch telescopic section “
first .
If this is not the case, the stop of telescopic section ” must be reinforced by inserting and welding on a plate or
reduced by grinding it down.

Slewing platform ballast (replacement counterweight )

CAUTION : On machines with one hoist gear and


if hoist gear 2 is removed,
the replacement counterweight, Pos. 5 must always be installed on the counter>
weight frame.

DANGER: The two mounting screws (item 8) must be folded backwards after insertion, they
must be checked before any travel .
In addition, check the mounting tightness every 10 000 km or every 400 operating
hours.
If this is not observed, then the mounting tightness of the replacement counter>
weight cannot be assured, and the counterweight can fall off.

8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>04

General
This crane has been inspected before delivery at the factory, according to the valid ISO, FEM and DIN
standards or VBG 9 (ZH 1/27).

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, VBG 9.
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
part , the operator must have the crane inspected by an experienced technician
before putting the crane back in service.

In addition, national and regional regulations apply.

Experienced technicians are persons who, due to their vocational background and experience, have sufficient
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).

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

A repeat crane inspection is generally a visual inspection, where the experienced technician / expert engineer
inspects the condition of the crane and components. .
This inspection should prevent accidents through timely recognition of defects.
Any defects found by an experienced technician / expert engineer must be documents, remedied and
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 !

8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>04

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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
that they are complete!

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:

607
8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>04

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.

2.1.5 Evaluation of foreign particles found in oil


Maximum permissible foreign particle parts are 0.15% of the total oil quantity, by weight.
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
contamination. Replace any damaged parts and fill the gear with new oil.

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

2.1.6 Visual inspection


The gears must be checked for leaks, since any loss of oil > aside from environmental contamination >
can also lead to gear failure.

2.1.7 Check brakes in gears


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

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.

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!

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

2. Insufficient maintenance: oil has not been changed at the proper intervals

3. Erroneous operation : extreme acceleration or deceleration of the load


Load fell into the cables

4. Maintenance errors: Use of wrong oil


Wrong quantity
Contamination during oil change

5. Installation errors during repair or maintenance

6. Leakages which were not taken care of

7. Improperly adjusted safety devices

8. Hidden accident damage

9. Extreme ambient conditions: Low or high temperatures


aggressive atmosphere
Dust and dirt

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 VBG 8).

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.

From the determination of the actual operating conditions, choose one of the following load collectives
and enter them in the crane inspection book for the corresponding inspection interval.

Note: For mobile cranes in assembly operation, we normally use the load collective L1
(Q1), with the load collective factor km = 0.125.

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.

2.2.2.2.3 Hour meter for both travel and 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, 60% of the total operating
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.

2.2.2.2.4 If there is no hour meter at all


In this case, the operator must guess and document the actual winch operating hours .

Note: The given percentage values apply normally for the main hoist winch. For
auxiliary hoist winches or adjustable boom winches, the actual share of total
operating hours can be significantly less and must therefore be guessed by the
operator.

612
8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>04

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 VBG 8), 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
Di (see example).

If the remaining theoretical service life is insufficient for the next operating period, then the winch
must be reconditioned or overhauled.

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.

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
manufacturer or by a person authorized by the manufacturer and the overhaul must be documented in
the inspection booklet.

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

The superstructure hour meter read 800 hrs. Winch operation was about 20 % of that, which means
T1!= 160 hrs.

At the 1st inspection, the used part S of the theoretical service life is therefore as follows:

0.125
S1 = &&&&& ¥ 160 hrs = 160 hrs.
0.125

remaining theoretical service life:

D1 = 3200 hrs > 160 hrs. = 3040 hrs.

The above values are entered in the chart in the crane inspection booklet, see paragraph 2.2.4)

2nd Inspection (2nd year )

The crane has been utilized for unloading ships in the harbor:
Load collective: L3, which means km2 = 0.5

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

remaining theoretical service life:

D2 = 3040 hrs. > 1920 hrs. = 1120 hrs.

614
8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>04

3rd Inspection (3rd year)

The crane has been used for assembly work and sometimes for unloading work in the harbor:
Load collective: L2,which means km3 = 0.25

The superstructure hour meter reads 3000 hrs, which means that during this period:
3000 hrs. > 2000 hrs. = 1000 hrs. (2000 hrs. were used up in the first two years of operation)

Of that, the winch was used about 30 %, which means T3 = 300 hrs.

The used portion S3 of the theoretical service life can be calculated for the 3rd individual inspection
interval as follows:

0.25
S3 = &&&&& ¥ 300 hrs. = 600 hrs.
0.125

remaining theoretical service life:

D3 = 1120 hrs. > 600 hrs. = 520 hrs.

The above values are entered in the chart in the crane inspection booklet as shown in chart 1.

2.2.4. Addendum

Chart 1 shows an example.

Document the remaining theoretical service life on chart 2.

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 .

Note: The initial measurements ∫y∫ or ∫y1∫ and ∫y2∫ are noted on the load hook. Measure
from point to point, as shown.

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.

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 .

refer to chapter

4. Check the cable push out mechanism in the telescopic boom.


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

5. Check the inner and outer locking systems on the telescopic boom for function, 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.

8.01 REPEAT CRANE INSPECTIONS 021686>04

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

9.2 The given radius must be measured again for the longest boom for the smallest radius and at a boom
angle of 45∞ .
The deviation may not be more than 10% of the measured radius.

10. Check the slewing ring connection


10.1 For tilt play measurement, see chapter 7.05

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.

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

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∫ (VBG 112)).

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

> Total placement time

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
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.

Any changes in cable behavior must be especially well monitored.

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

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

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

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

> Slackening of cable structure (fig. 4)

> Constriction (fig. 5)

> Kinks and compressions (fig. 6+8)

> Pulls or remaining distortions (fig. 7)

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.

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.

The best procedure is to spool up the cable from a raised reel to the drum ( fig. 2).
Winding the cable in the same bending direction prevents additional cable tension and assures that the cable
lays better on the drum.

CAUTION: Make sure that the cable is not pulled over the ground to prevent it from getting
dirty.

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.

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.

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

If certain section of the cable are more used than others then the cable should be turned over after a certain
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
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
by shorting the drum end by a length which corresponds to 1/3 of the drum circumference.

Extension torsion in torsion free hoist cables and its elimination


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.

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.

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


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!

8.04 INSPECTION OF CRANE CABLES 022604>02

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

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.

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

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.
The rule is that for torsion compensation, the end of the cable must be turned against the direction of
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
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
would destroy the cable structure permanently.

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.

General
The pneumatic brake system in mobile cranes must be checked annually.
In Germany, this brake inspection must be made according to ß 29 STVZO.
For other countries, local and national regulations apply.

1. Visual inspection
To check the pneumatic brake system, the following requirements apply:

1.1 Pipe and hose lines are not damaged, not corroded and are properly routed.

1.2 Components are correctly installed and properly mounted.

1.3 Air tank is not damaged, no external corrosion can be seen.


The tank is marked properly.

CAUTION: No welding nor heat applications may ever be done on the tank walls .

1.4 Condensation is drained from the air tank.

1.5 Dust guards are not damaged.

1.6 Joints are secured, move easily and have not been knocked out.

1.7 Linkage has not been welded, is not bent, moves easily and is not damaged.

1.8 Brakes are adjusted properly (ventilation, brake cylinder stroke, pad thickness, linkage plate).

2. Function and action test

2.1. Function test

2.1.1 Pressure regulator , air compressor


Check cut in pressure, cut off pressure and output capacity.

2.1.2 Check seals and reservoir pressure in air pressure system.

2.1.3 Check multi circuit safety valve, overflow valves, warning device.

643
8.07 INSPECTION OF PNEUMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM 022648>01

2.2 Brake action test


The brake function can be checked through the ports in the cover plates.
If the brake pedal is pressed down, both brake pads must touch the drum, when the brake pedal is relea>
sed, the brake pads must immediately return to starting position.
The brake action can be checked by measuring delay, brake path or by determining the braking action
on a brake test station.

2.2.1 Measure the delay with a declerometer


At a pressure of 6.5 bar, the measured median delay should be dm!>!4,5!m/s2 .

2.2.2 Measure the brake path


At a pressure of 6.5 bar, the brake path should be s!<!as the value given in the chart.

30 12.5

40 19.8

50 29.0

2.2.3 Determine braking action on a brake test station


To measure the brake power on the vehicle axles, calculate the braking action as follows:

F1¥i1+F2¥i2 ... Fn ¥ in
z = &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& ¥ 100 [%]
Gz

Gz = Permissible total weight of the vehicle [N]


z = Braking [%]
F1 = Brake power of first axle, which has been measured at p1 pressure [N]
F2 = Brake power of second axle, which has been measured at p2 pressure [N]
Fn = Brake power of last axle, which has been measured at pn pressure [N]

8.07 INSPECTION OF PNEUMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM 022648>01

3. Internal inspection of wheel brake


Independent of the function and action test, the following tests must be made:

3.1 Every 3 months, the brake pad condition should be checked through the ports in the cover plates.
Every 12 months, pull the brake drum to check the various, internal brake components .

CAUTION: The brake may not be actuated if the brake drum has been pulled.

3.2 Replace the pads when the pad thickness is 5.5 mm (new thickness = 18 mm), measured without ta>
king the thickness of the metal part of the brake pad into account; replace the pads if the pads are burnt,
slick or oily.
For replacement, only Jurid 546 and Bremskerl 6275 brake pads may be used.
Rivet and adhere these pads, as these asbestos free pads are not as rigid.

DANGER: Always replace the pads on both wheels of each axle.

3.3 The brake drums should also be turned.

Note: When turning the brake drums, do not exceed the permissible turning measurement
of 0.75 % of the nominal diameter!

Example: Nominal diameter: 500.00 mm


Permissible turning measurement: 3.75 mm
Permissible inside diameter: 503.75 mm

DANGER: If the inside diameter of the brake drum is larger than 503.75 mm, then the
brake drum must be replaced.
Otherwise there is a danger of causing a serious accident!

3.4 To correct the brake pad wear or to center the brake, it is equipped with an automatic adjustment devi>
ce, which is maintenance free.

DANGER: In case of damage to any parts, replace the automatic adjustment device
completely, using repair kit ∫adjustment device∫.
If this is not done, there is a danger of causing a serious accident!

3.5 The pressure and pull springs as well as seal rings, caps and dust covers must be replaced at least every
2 years.

DANGER: All maintenance and repairs on th brake system must be performed by aut>
horized and especially trained personnel.
Otherwise there is a danger of causing a serious accident!

3.6 After assembly, repeat visual, function and action test.

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
its safety function:

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

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

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
conformity with the Accident Prevention Regulations for Telescopic Boom Cranes.

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.

648
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
> excessive braking forces
> loads dropping into the rope
> pulling at an angle
> moving the crane to an area of ground with a greater slope
> ground which gives way
> wind load

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.
On no account may the overload safety device be switched off or overridden in order to lift a load which
exceeds the maximum permissible load lifting capacity of the crane.

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
(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
concerned. Unauthorized interference in the mechanism of the overload safety device will invalidate the
warranty provisions.

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.

1.4 Check if electrical lines are still routed and mounted properly, with sufficient distance to exhaust pipes,
and assure that they are not damaged and still properly insulated.

1.5 To reduce the noise emission, insulating mats are installed in the engine area (chassis > engine
covering) on some crane models. When the fiberglass mats with integrated noise reduction material are
are clean, they are not flammable and are flame retardant.
If engine compartments are is not cleaned regularly, oil and fuel may splash on the mats while
performing maintenance and repair work. Oil and fuel soaked noise reduction mats must be removed, as
they are now flammable. The same is true for insulating mats in the exhaust system area.

Clean the engine compartment only with nonflammable cleaning fluids. In addition, the fluid may not
be corrosive or chemically damaging to hoses and cables.

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
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.

3. Important service tasks

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

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

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
and remedy the problem.

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.

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:


For disposal, undiluted antifreeze fluids / corrosion protective oils must be handled as special hazardous
material.
When disposing of used coolant fluids (mixture of antifreeze / corrosion protective oils and water,
observe all state and local regulations applicable to the disposal of these items.

7. Rotating wheels

7.1 Tires used on crane vehicles are exposed to different loads and stresses, depending on the location of the
wheels on the crane, such as:
> non > propelled steering and fixed axles.
> propelled steering and fixed axles and
> various wheel positions exposed to more or less load.

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

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.
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.
