10.1 Transportation Methods and Points for Attention


The crane can travel by itself or be transported by train or any other carriers for long a
distance. During transportation, the wheels should be blocked with wooden wedges, and the
whole vehicle is secured with wire ropes with its doors and windows locked up. The
preventive measures against rain should be taken.
The four outriggers should all extend 500mm during lifting. Pay attention to protection of the
hood and the surface paint.

Warning: Check the condition of load handling device before lifting to ensure its
strength.
The lifting positions are shown in following diagrams:

4) Put the battery in a dry and ventilating place and charge it periodically.
5) The surfaces of all exposed components should be greased to prevent them against
corrosion.
6) Clean the wire ropes and grease them.
7) The crane should be stored in a garage. If not, it must be covered up with water-proof cloth
to prevent it against corrosion. In winter, antifreeze measure should be taken.
8) Start the machine once a month and operate all the working systems at idle speed to check
whether they work normally.
9) Assign a person to keep the crane in perfect condition to make it ready for operation at any
time.
10) Run the crane stored more than three months at idle speed for at least an hour once three
months and carry out the cleaning and the maintenance periodically. As for the crane which
has been stored more than one and half years, besides routine cleaning and maintenance, the
aging sealing elements should be replaced.
