CE marking

The CE marking is a mark according to EU laws:


– Cranes with CE-marking according to the European machinery directive 2006/42/EC and the EN
13000! Data tag Crane with CE-marking, see illustration 1.
– Cranes which are operated outside the respective area of application do not require a CE marking.
Data tag Crane without CE marking, see illustration 2.
– It is prohibited to market and operate cranes without CE marking, which do not meet the product-
specific regulations valid in Europe, when a CE marking is specified for the country.
– It is prohibited to operate cranes with a tipping load utilization of 85 % which are programmed ac-
cording to ASME B30.5 within the European Union or in countries which permit a lower stationary
stability utilization (for example ISO 4305)! The national regulations apply. These cranes may not
have a CE marking!

Destined use

The destined use of the crane consists solely in vertical lifting and lowering of free and non-adhered
loads, whose weight and center of gravity are known.
To do so, a hook or hook block approved by Liebherr must be reeved on the hoist rope and it may only
be operated within the permissible crane configurations.
Driving with the crane, with or without an attached load is only permissible if a corresponding driving or
load chart is available. The set up configurations intended for it and the safety conditions must be ob-
served according to the corresponding crane documentation.
Any other use or any other exceeding utilization is not destined use.
Destined use also includes the adherence of the required safety guidelines, conditions, prerequisites,
set up conditions and working steps in the crane documentation (for example: Operating instructions,
load charts, erection and take down charts, job planner).
The manufacturer is not liable for damages, which are caused by non-destined use or improper use of
the crane. Any associated risk it is carried solely by the owner, the operator and the user of the crane.

Non-destined use

Non-destined use is:


– Working outside the permissible set up configurations according to the load chart.
– Working outside the permissible boom radii and slewing ranges according to the load chart.
– Selecting load charts, which do not correspond to the actual set up configuration.
– Selection of a set up configuration via code or via manual entry, which does not correspond to the
actual set up configuration.
– Working with bypassed / deactivated safety devices, for example bypassed load moment limitation
or with bypassed hoist limit switch.
– Increasing the radius of the lifted load after a LMB shut off, for example by diagonally pulling the
load.
– Using the support pressure display as a safety function against tipping over.
– Use of equipment parts which are not approved for the crane.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

– Using the crane at sports and recreational events, especially for "Bungee" jumps and / or "Dinner in
the sky".
– Driving on a public road in non-permissible driving condition (axle load, dimension).
– Driving with the equipment in place in a non-permissible driving condition.
– Pushing, pulling or lifting loads with the leveling regulation, the sliding beams or the support cylin-
ders.
– Pushing, pulling or lifting loads by actuating the slewing gear, the luffing gear or the telescoping
gear.
– Ripping stuck objects loose with the crane.
– Utilizing the crane for a longer period of time for material handling tasks.
– Releasing the crane suddenly (grapple or dumping operation).

– Utilizing the crane when the weight of the load, which is suspended on the crane is changed, for
example by filling a container suspended on the load hook, except:
– • The load moment limiter was checked before for function with a known load.
• The crane cab is occupied.
• The crane is operational.
• The container size is selected in such a way that an overload of the crane with full load is elimi-
nated within the valid used load chart.
The crane may not be used for:
– Attaching a stuck load for which the weight and center of gravity are not known and which is rele-
ased only by flame cutting, for example.
– Letting persons drive along outside the driverʼs cab.
– Transporting personnel in the crane cab while driving.
– Transporting personnel with the lifting equipment and on the load.
– Transporting of persons with work baskets (cherry pickers), if the national regulations of the res-
ponsible work safety organization are not observed.
– Transporting loads on the chassis.
– Two hook operation without auxiliary equipment.
– Extended material handling operation.
– Crane operation on a barge if the conditions are not determined and the written release by
Liebherr Werk Ehingen GmbH is not present.
The crane documentation must be read and used by all persons who are involved in use, operation,
assembly and maintenance of the crane.

regulations.

WARNING
Danger of accident if traffic regulations are not adhered to!
u In the interest of road traffic safety and environmental protection, observe the specified traffic regu-
lations for the mobile crane when driving on-road!

– The General traffic regulations are specified by the crane vehicle manufacturer, see Crane ope-
rating instructions, chapter 2.01.10.

1 General traffic regulations


1.1 General safety instructions
The crane vehicle is approved for road travel when used in accordance with regional traffic regulati-
ons.

WARNING
Non-observance of general Safety instructions!
If the general safety instructions are not observed, there is a danger of accident!
u The crane cab may not be occupied by passengers while driving the crane!
u Make sure that the crane vehicle is brought to the respective permissible status as prescribed by
the traffic regulations before driving on public roads, paths and squares!
u Make sure that the weights, axle loads and dimensions are observed as stated in the permit!
u Make sure that the weights, axle loads and dimensions as stated in the permit are not exceeded by
added loads!

1.2 Axle loads


Axle loads must be differentiated between:
– the permissible axle loads according to traffic regulations.
– the axle loads which are technically possible.

WARNING
Exceeding the axle load and total weight increases the risk of accident!
Any increase in axle load and total weight reduces braking performance in direct proportion to the ex-
cess weight!
The wear on brake linings is increased and there is an increased danger of overheating the brakes.
This condition exceeds the specifications of the steering system, service and parking brakes and retar-
der and they therefore no longer meet the regulations!
It shortens the life of all components subjected to the increased axle load, such as brakes, tires, disk
wheels and axles, as well as the entire drive, suspension and steering components!
u Do not exceed the specified axle load or total weight!
u In countries with EEC regulations, axle loads exceeding 12 t are not allowed to be driven on the
roads!
u If the driver drives on-road with more than 12 t , then he bears the responsibility for the consequen-
ces!

Note
Driving with reduced axle loads!
For reduced axle loads the operating parameters of the crane change!
When the crane vehicle is driven for short distances without matching the axle loads, the driving beha-
vior can change, depending on the road conditions!
u If the axle load is reduced due to easier driving permits, then the minimum permissible axle loads
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

and total weights according to the permits part I and part II must be observed!
u When the crane vehicle is driven for longer distances with reduced axle loads, the pretension
pressures of the axle suspension and tire air pressure must be matched accordingly!

1.3 Hook block


WARNING
Danger of accident due to limited visibility!
u Make sure that the visibility of the driver is not limited by the hook block when driving the crane
vehicle on public roads!
Carry the hook block along only when the following prerequisites are met:
u Make sure that the hook block is permitted for the respective driving condition of the crane vehicle,
see Crane operating instructions, chapter 3.04!
u Make sure that the hook block has been reeved a maximum of four times!
u Make sure that the hook block is hooked and tightened with the intended eyehook on the fastening
points, see Crane operating instructions, chapter 3.02!

1.4 Boom nose*


WARNING
Danger of accident due to limited visibility!
u Make sure that the visibility of the driver is not limited by the boom nose* when driving the crane
vehicle on public roads!
Carry the boom nose* along only when the following prerequisites are met:
u Make sure that the boom nose* is permitted for the respective driving condition of the crane vehi-
cle, see Crane operating instructions, chapter 3.04!
u Make sure that the boom nose* is swung from working position into transport position to avoid rest-
ricting the visibility!
u Make sure that the boom nose* is secured in transport position with pin and spring retainer!

11 Crane operator responsibilities


11.1 General
The crane operatorʼs primary responsibility is to use and operate the crane in a manner that is safe for
both himself and others.
The following important safety guidelines will help you achieve this.
Many crane accidents are caused by incorrect crane operation.

WARNING
Danger due to operating error!
u In your interest and in the interest of others, make sure that you know your crane. Also learn to
recognize all dangers connected with the work to be carried out.

Operating errors, which are made again and again while operating or driving a crane, are careless-
ness while working in particular.
– For example:
• Slewing too quickly
• Stopping the load too quickly
• Angular pulling
• Slack rope formation
– Overloading
– Driving too fast with a load and / or equipment on an uneven roadway
– Attaching the load incorrectly
– Unsuitable operation; especially angular pulling, breaking away stuck loads
– Wind action on suspended loads
– Mistakes when driving on a road, for example:
– • Overspeeding the engine when driving downhill
• Driving with turned on differential lock
– Crashing into bridges, roofs or high voltage wires due to insufficient headroom
– Inadequate support; support base, support under the support plates
– Mistakes during assembly or disassembly of booms
In many cases, crane damage is caused by improper maintenance:
– Insufficient oil, grease or antifreeze
– Contamination
– Broken cable wires, defective tires, worn parts
– Emergency limit switch or load torque limiter (LMB) not operating properly
– Brake and clutch failure
– Hydraulic defects; for example cracked hoses
– Loose bolts

11.2 Working on the crane superstructure or boom


WARNING
Danger of falling!
When working on the crane superstructure or boom, personnel must be secured with appropriate sa-
fety measures to prevent them from falling! If this is not observed, working personnel can fall and be
killed or severely injured!
u For all work on the crane where there is a danger of falling, suitable safety measures must be ta-
ken!
u The crane superstructure or the boom may not be accessed without suitable aids!
u Suitable aids are, for example: Lifting platforms, scaffoldings, ladders, assembly platforms, auxiliary
crane.
u If railing are present on the crane superstructure, then they must be swung into operating position
and secured for all work, see Crane operating instructions, chapter 2.06!
u Only step on such aids with clean shoes!
u Keep aids clean and free of snow and ice!
u If the work cannot be carried out with such aids nor from the ground, then the assembly personnel
must secure themselves with supplied fall arrest systems to avoid falling, see section „Personal
protective equipment“!
u It is prohibited to step on the driverʼs cab or crane cab roof and specially marked surfaces, see
Crane operating instructions, chapter 2.05!

11.3 Obligations of the crane operator


1. Before starting to work, the crane operator must check the brake function and the emergency shut
off devices. He must monitor the condition of the crane for obvious defects. On wireless controlled
cranes, he must check the assignment of control unit and crane.
2. The crane operator must cease crane operation in case of problems endangering the safety.
3. The crane operator must report all defects on the crane to the appropriate supervisor, also to his
replacement in case of crane change.
4. The crane operator must make sure that:
• All control devices are set to neutral or idle position before release of the energy supply to the
drive components.
• The control devices are set to neutral or idle position and the energy supply is shut off before
leaving the control platform.
• When taking down the control unit for wireless control, the control unit is secured to prevent
unauthorized operation.
5. The crane operator must ensure that cranes subjected to wind are not operated past the limits
which were set by the crane manufacturer, and that the boom is taken down at least when the
critical wind speeds for the crane are reached and at the end of the work.
6. The crane operator must monitor the load during all crane movements or the load handling equip-
ment when moving the crane without a load, if they could cause a dangerous situation. If observa-
tion is not possible, then the crane operator may move the crane only with the aid of a guide.
7. The crane operator must give warning signs when necessary.
8. The crane operator may not move loads over personnel.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

9. Any loads attached by hand may only be moved by the crane operator after he received a clear
sign from the person who attached the load, the guide or any other responsible party which was
assigned to that task by the contractor. If signals must be used to communicate with the crane
operator, then these signals must be agreed upon before use between the responsible party and
the crane operator. If the crane operator determines that the loads are not properly attached, then
he may not move these loads.
10. As long as a load is suspended on the crane, the crane operator must keep the control devices
within reach. This does not apply for towing of vehicles with towing cranes.
11. The crane operator may not run up to end positions operationally, if they are limited by the emer-
gency limit switches.
12. After a load moment limiter was triggered, the crane operator may not take on an overload by pul-
ling in / raising the boom.

5. Rock in evenly solid condition:
a) Brittle, with traces of decomposition 150
b) Not brittle 400

If there is any doubt about the load bearing capability of the ground at the site, soil tests should be
carried out by specialists using, for example, a penetrometer.

Note
u Consider that the support force, due to the counterweight, can be higher without a load than with
a load.

14.1 Permitted ground pressure for crawler cranes


LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

In crane operation, significant forces are transferred to the ground. The ground must be able to safely
withstand the pressure. If the crawler area is inadequate, then the crawlers must be supported from
below according to the load bearing capacity of the ground.

WARNING
The crane can topple over!
If the crane is not properly supported, the crane can topple over and fatally injure personnel!
u The foundation support must be large enough for the ground conditions and constructed from solid
materials, such as wood or steel plates!

copyright by
LTM 1400-7-1-007 93
029826-03 2.04 General safety technical guidelines

14.2 Permitted ground pressure for mobile cranes


When the crane is supported, the support cylinders transmit significant forces to the ground.
In any case, the ground must be able to safely withstand this pressure. If the support pad area is ina-
dequate, the support pads must be supported from below according to the load bearing capacity of the
ground.
The required support area can be calculated from the load bearing capability of the ground and the
crane support force.

WARNING
The crane can topple over!
If the crane is not properly supported, the crane can topple over and fatally injure personnel!
u Only strong materials may be used for the support pad bases; for example properly dimensioned
wooden timbers!
u In order to ensure that pressure is evenly distributed over the base surface, the support plates must
be positioned in the center of the support base!

Note
u The following are general calculation examples. The values are used only to explain the calculation
steps. The crane specific values are in chapter 1.03 of the crane operating instructions.

Example: Calculation of specific support pressure


Maximum support force according to crane operating instructions, chap-
720000 N
ter 1.03 for example: 720 kN
Surface of square support plate with 550 mm side length according to
3025 cm2
chapter 1.03, for example: 302500 mm2
80 % as carrying surface of support plate: 302500 mm2 x 0.8 = 242000
2420 cm2
mm2
720000 N / 2420 cm2 =
Specific support pressure = Support force / surface support plate
297.52 N/cm2
Specific support pressure: 298 N/cm2

The value of the specific support pressure is far higher than the permissible ground pressure for all
types of granular soil. If this crane is utilized on bedrock, type of ground gravel, permissible ground
pressure 20 N/cm2 , then the support surface must be increased.

Example: Calculation of required support surface


Maximum support force according to crane operating instructions, chap-
720000 N
ter 1.03 for example: 720 kN
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Permissible ground pressure, for example: 20 N/cm2 20 N/cm2


720000 N / 20 N/cm2 =
Required support surface = Support force / permissible ground pressure
36000 cm2
Required support surface: 36000 cm2 = 3.6 m2

The surface of the support for each support plate must be at least 3.6 m2.
The height of the support must be selected depending on the load distribution angle.

Note
u The corresponding support forces can be determined with the crane job planner.

The calculation of support forces and ground pressures of tracks with the LICCON job planner are ba-
sed on idealized assumptions.
Side deformations of the boom system due to wind, inclined position and elastic compliancy of the
steel structure are not taken into account in the LICCON job planner.
These influences can lead to an increase of support forces or increase of ground pressures of the
tracks.

15 Support
15.1 Supporting the crane
DANGER
The crane can topple over!
When actuating the supports with attached load and / or at loaded derrick ballast guying, the incline
and the force conditions of the entire boom system change!
There is no shut off by the LICCON overload system!
The crane can topple over!
Personnel can be severely injured or killed!
u When a load is suspended, it is prohibited to actuate the support!
u When the derrick ballast guying is loaded, it is prohibited to actuate the support!

It is absolutely essential that the crane be supported exactly in accordance with the load charts to en-
sure safe crane operation.
The match of the sliding beams placement surfaces must be observed to ensure proper force transfer
between the sliding beams.
The crane may only be supported in these extension conditions.

WARNING
The crane can topple over!
If only the sliding beams on the load side are extended, then the crane can topple over and kill person-
nel.
u Move all 4 sliding beams and support cylinders out according to the data in the load chart and pin.
u In intermediate positions between the support bases, do not support.
u Pin the sliding beams to support base according to the load chart!
u Fully insert and secure the pins!

WARNING
Risk of toppling the crane due to incorrect extension of the sliding beams!
The load suspended on the hook causes tension and deformation of the hoist rope and telescopic
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

boom. The same applies for operation with lattice jib and guy ropes. If the load is dropped from the
fastening ropes or if the fastening or hoist rope breaks in this situation, a sudden relief occurs. The
boom snaps back quickly. This can cause the crane to topple over.
Despite previous assumption, it might become necessary to swing the load to the opposite side. This
can cause the crane to topple over.
The boom and / or counterweight momentum may cause the crane to topple when slewing from the
longitudinal vehicle direction.
u Move all 4 sliding beams and support cylinders out according to the data in the load chart!

15.2 Supporting the crane with variable support


When supporting the crane with variable support special measures are required. These measures are
described in detail in the Crane operating instructions, chapter 6.26.

16 Aligning the crane


LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Fig.121164: Example for non-permissible incline position


In addition to the proper foundation for the supports, the horizontal alignment of the crane is of utmost
importance for safe crane operation.

copyright by
LTM 1400-7-1-007 97
029826-03 2.04 General safety technical guidelines

DANGER
The crane can topple over due to the incline position!
If the crane is positioned at an incline and if the boom is turned towards the slope, then the boom ra-
dius is increased as a result!
It is possible that the slewing gear can no longer hold the crane superstructure and, in extreme cases,
the crane can topple over!
Personnel can be severely injured or killed!
u Align the crane horizontally before starting crane operation!
If the horizontal alignment of the crane has to be readjusted:
u Set the load down on the ground before readjusting the crane!
For cranes on crawlers, readjustment is not possible:
u If possible, use load charts for limited terrain incline!

Example: At a boom length of 50 m , an incline of the crane by only 5° at a radius of 10 m causes an


increase of the radius of a = 4 m.

17 Checking the safety measures


– The placement location has been selected in such a way that the crane can be operated with the
least possible boom radius.
– The load bearing capacity of the ground is adequate.
– There is sufficient distance to excavations and slopes.
– There are no live transmission wires within the working range of the crane.
– There are no obstacles that will hinder required crane movements.
– The crane is horizontally aligned.
– When crane support is required:
– • All four sliding beams and support cylinders have been extended according to the support base
given in the load chart.
• The sliding beams have been secured with pins to prevent them from moving.
• The support plates are pinned and secured in the operating position.
– On mobile cranes:
– • The axle suspension is blocked.
• The axles are relieved, which means the tires do not touch the ground.

18 Endangering air traffic


When working with crane, heights are reached which could endanger air traffic. This applies especially
to areas near airports.

WARNING
Endangering air traffic!
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

If no protective measures are taken, this can result in endangerment to air traffic!
u Get the approval from agency responsible for air traffic!
u Assemble the airplane warning light on the boom head and turn it on!
u If the airplane warning lights is operated for a longer period of time, with the engine turned off, then
the battery can be discharged and as the result the airplane warning light turns off. To prevent the
battery from discharging, an external electrical power supply must be established!

19 Grounding
19.1 Grounding the crane
WARNING
Danger of fatal injury due to electric shock!
There is a danger of electrical shock, if the crane is not properly grounded.
u Properly ground the crane!
u Make sure that there is a potential equalization between the crane and the ground!

The crane must be grounded before operation:


– Near transmitters (radio and TV transmitters, radio stations, etc.).
– Near high frequency switching stations
– In case of severe possibility of thunderstorms or potential thunderstorms
The crane can become electrostatically charged, especially if the crane is equipped with synthetic sup-
port mats or if the support mats are placed on insulating materials (such as wooden planks).

19.2 Grounding the load


WARNING
Danger of fatal injury due to electric shock!
There is a danger of electrical shock, if the load is not properly grounded!
u Properly ground the load!
u Make sure that there is a potential equalization between the load and the ground!

The load must be grounded before operation:


– Near transmitters (radio and TV transmitters, radio stations, etc.).
– Near high frequency switching stations
– In case of severe possibility of thunderstorms or potential thunderstorms
The load can become electrostatically charged, even if the crane is grounded. This applies in particu-
lar if a hook block with pulleys made of synthetic material and non-conductive fastening equipment (for
example plastic or manila ropes) are used.

20 Consideration of wind conditions


Note
u The wind speeds are valid for a 360° wind direction for a 3-second wind gust at the highest point of
the crane!

WARNING
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Disregard of permissible wind speeds!


If the permissible wind speeds are disregarded, the crane can topple over! Personnel can be severely
injured or killed!
u It is prohibited to erect the crane to measure the wind speed!
u Observe the permissible wind speeds depending on the assembly / crane conditions and act accor-
dingly, see following chart!

For a set up configuration for which no wind speed charts are available:
u Observe and adhere the maximum wind speeds of the load charts.

WARNING
Increase of support force and exceedance of permissible ground pressure!
The wind load on the crane boom has not been taken into account for the planning of crane operation
with the LICCON job planner!
As a result, the actual values of the support forces and the ground pressure can be significantly higher
than the values determined with the LICCON job planner!
The wind affecting the crane and the load, the elastic distortion of the crane structure, incline position
as well as wind exposure surface (AW) per ton of hoist load larger than 1.2 m2/t can significantly inc-
rease the support force!
The ground pressure is increased!
u Do not exceed the permissible ground pressure!

Note
u The determining factor for all crane work in the actual wind speed at the job site of the crane!
u The current wind speed can be checked at the nearest weather bureau!
u Be aware that the wind speed on the boom jib is higher than near the ground!
u Always observe the national valid regulations!

20.1 Wind speed charts for variable support


For variable support: Observe and adhere to the wind speed charts according to the support base for
the smallest extension length of the sliding beams.

Fig.121577: Example for the selection of wind speed charts for variable support
Example for the selection of wind speed charts for variable support
– The crane is supported with variable support according to illustration 1.
– Select wind speed charts according to the support base in illustration 2.

Note
No wind speed charts available!
If the smallest extension length of a sliding beam is less than those of the wind speed charts on hand:
u Observe and adhere the maximum wind speeds of the load charts.

20.2 Wind speed, wind gust speed and wind direction


The depiction of the wind is made by statement of wind speed (wind force), wind gust speed and wind
direction.
High above the ground, the wind is less influenced by the surface condition of the ground. In the lower
layers of the atmosphere, the wind speed is reduced by the ground friction. One differentiates between
roughness of terrain, influence of obstacles and influence of terrain contours. Vegetation, buildings etc
have great influence on the wind speed, wind gust speed and wind direction.
The site selection is thus especially important for wind measurement.
The wind speed, wind gust speed and wind direction are subject to significant time and local fluctuati-
ons. For that reason it is important to have reliable information regarding the expected wind speed,
wind gust speed and wind direction during a load lift and to carry out exact wind measurements.
For mobile cranes, always assume a wind load of 360°. The determining factor is the „3 second gust
speed“ on the highest point of the boom.

20.3 Measurement of wind speed


The anemometer installed on the crane boom measures the wind speed on the tip of the boom and
shows the current wind speed in the crane cab.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

The function of the anemometer must be checked every time before erection of the boom by manually
actuating the shell start for easy movement and proper function.
Before lifting a load, especially with large wind exposure surface, the wind speed and the wind direc-
tion expected during the lift must be known. Information can be obtained for example at the local wea-
ther bureau. The determining factor is the „3 second gust speed“ on the highest point of the boom.

copyright by
LTM 1400-7-1-007 101
029826-03 2.04 General safety technical guidelines

WARNING
Overload of crane!
The acoustic wind warning is only issued if the standard wind exposure surface in the load chart is
exceeded (wind surface per ton load: 1 m2 , drag: 1.2) given wind speed!
If the permissible wind speed must be reduced for loads due to large wind exposure surfaces, no
acoustic wind warning is issued!
There is no shut off of crane movement!
u The wind exposure surface and the wind resistance coefficient for the load to be lifted must be
known!
u The maximum permissible wind speed specified in the load chart must be reduced for large wind
exposure surfaces as described in the load chart manual chapter „Wind influences during crane
operation“!

For safe determination of wind speed, the crane must be turned before application by 360°. The hig-
hest measured value while doing so must be compared with the „maximum permissible wind speed“
for the load according to the load chart. Thus the possibility that the result of the measurement is dis-
torted due to nearby buildings, cranes or components is eliminated.
In gusty wind conditions, the probability of sudden high wind speed increases. In gusty wind conditions
no large surface loads may be lifted.

Note
u If in doubt and in case of questions for further information and / or training in the area of „Wind in-
fluences in crane operation“ please contact the Customer Service at Liebherr-Werk Ehingen
GmbH!

Note
u The maximum permissible wind speed (vmax) and the maximum permissible wind speed according
to the load chart (vmax_TAB) always refers to the 3 second wind gust speed, which is present in the
maximum hoist height.
u Instead of the 3 second wind gust speed, weather information services often report a wind speed
(vm), which is averaged within a time period of 10 minutes (so-called 10 minute average). It refers to
the wind force on the Beaufort scale, normally to the medium value of the wind speed, which is de-
termined within a time from of 10 minutes at a height of 10 m above ground or above sea level.
u The determining factor for the calculation of the 3 second wind gust speed in maximum height is
significantly higher than the medium value of the wind speed, which is determined over a time of 10
minutes at a height of 10 m above ground!
u The following chart shows the 3 second wind gust speed depending on the medium wind speed
according to the Beaufort Scale and the height!

– Danger of burns or inflammation due to temperature increase


– Spark or electric arc formation

DANGER
Danger due to electromagnetic fields!
u Before operating a crane in the vicinity of transmitters, be sure to consult with Liebherr-Werk Ehin-
gen GmbH!
u Also consult a high frequency specialist!

High frequency (HF) radiation from a transmitter requires supplementary work safety protection and
special environmental specifications for crane operators and personnel:
1. Each crane must be „fully“ grounded. Check visually or with a simple continuity tester to ensure
that ladder, crane cab and rope pulleys are grounded.
2. All personnel working on the crane or with large metal objects must protect themselves from
burns by wearing non-conductive synthetic gloves and suitable clothing while working.
3. There is no need to panic if you feel your hand warm up. Always work under the assumption that
the respective workpiece, structural steel member or support is „hot“.
4. The temperature of objects affected by high frequency radiation depends on their „size“. Cranes,
carriers and coverings, for example, are „hotter“.
5. Contact with other crane loads is not permitted when operating the crane (arcing). Since defects
caused by burns considerably reduce rope carrying capacity, any such occurrences must be re-
ported immediately to the foreman so that the ropes can be inspected.
6. An insulator 1 is required at all times between the crane load hook and fastening equipment. It is
strictly prohibited to remove this insulator 1.
7. Do not touch the ropes above the insulator 1.
8. Loads that are attached to the crane may not be touched by any unprotected parts of the body
after the load has been lifted or set down.
9. Do not work with a bare upper torso or in short pants, this is prohibited.
10. To minimize absorption of high-frequency radiation, larger loads should be transported horizon-
tally if possible.
11. Loads must be grounded, or additional insulation used (rubber material between the object and
gloves) when manual work is required.
12. Use a suitable measuring instrument to check the „temperature“ of the workpiece.
For example, if 500 V can be measured on a workpiece at a distance of 1 cm to 2 cm , then the
workpiece may not be touched with bare hands.
The greater the distance, the higher is the voltage on the object:
At 10 cm distance, approx. 600 V are present, at 30 cm distance approx. 2000 V are present.
13. When refueling the crane, it must be ensured that no sparks are created within a radius of 6 m ,
neither by handling larger metallic parts nor by other work.
14. To avoid secondary accidents, use personal protective equipment when working on components
that are high off the ground.
15. Any accidents and unexpected events must immediately be reported to the local construction su-
pervisor and the safety engineer.

Before lifting a load jointly with two cranes, the operator of the cranes or a representative of the opera-
tor must determine the work sequence and assign a responsible supervisory person for the operation.
The responsible supervisory person must monitor the operation.

029826-03 2.04 General safety technical guidelines

Note
u The total weight and the center of gravity of the load must be known exactly!
u Carry out the job planning in detail and with care!
When the operational conditions or the work to be carried out require:
u Set up an assembly plan and operating instructions for the operation!

WARNING
Danger of tipping and overload of load carrying components!
If the load is not lifted or lowered exactly evenly by both cranes, then the center of gravity changes.
One of the two cranes can be overloaded and topple over!
Personnel can be killed or seriously injured!
u Make sure that the cranes are horizontally aligned.
u Observe the national valid standards, regulations and accident prevention guidelines!
u Determine the utilization degree of the cranes in operation, depending on the complexity of the load
lift!
u Plan for sufficient safety reserves!
u Utilize the load values given in the load chart manual for the used crane configuration to no more
than the utilization degree of maximum 80 %!

In drawing is shown how the center of gravity for the load changes if the load is lifted or lowered un-
evenly. Already a slight incline of the load can cause the crane to be overloaded!
If the load on crane 1 (L1) is lowered, the load on crane 2 (L2) increases. As a result, crane 2 can be
overloaded as a result of the load reduction of crane 1, without any action of its own!

23 Working ranges of several cranes overlap


WARNING
Danger of collision!
If the working ranges of several cranes overlap, there is a danger of collision!
Personnel can be injured or killed!
Significant property damage can result!
u The contractor or his representative must determine the work sequence in detail in advance!
u The contractor or his representative must ensure flawless communication between crane opera-
tors!
u The crane operators must ensure through calm operating mode, that no collisions occur due to un-
controlled movements! The crane operators must have been trained and instructed accordingly.

If the communication between the crane operators is not ensured by sound or visual connection, then
suitable measures must be taken, such as using radio communication, guides or similar.

Note
u If guides are used, then the signals must be agreed upon between them and the crane operators,
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

see section „Hand signals for guidance“!

24 Hand signals for guidance


For all crane movements, the crane operator must always keep the load as well as the crane hook or
load handling equipment when the crane is not loaded, in his field of vision.

25 Crane operation with a load


WARNING
The crane can topple over!
If the crane is in condition which is not operationally safe, the crane can topple over or crane compo-
nents can fall down!
Personnel can be severely injured or killed!
u Before starting to work, the crane operator must ensure that the crane is in operationally safe con-
dition!
u If safe crane operation cannot be ensured by the crane operator, then crane operation is prohibited
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

until an operationally safe condition for the crane is established!


u Safety devices, for example: Load moment limiter, hoist limit switch, brakes must be fully functio-
ning, otherwise crane operation is prohibited!

Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:


– The load moment limiter must be set according to the current crane configuration.
– The loads given in the load chart may not be exceeded.
– The crane may never be subjected with a load which exceeds those specified in the load charts.
– The weight, center of gravity and dimensions of the load to be lifted must be known.
– Load carriers, lifting equipment and tackle must be in accordance with specified requirements.

copyright by
LTM 1400-7-1-007 121
029826-03 2.04 General safety technical guidelines

Note
u Make sure that the weight of the hook block and the weight of the fastening equipment is subtrac-
ted from the load given in the load chart, see the following chart!

Example:
Maximum permissible load according to chart 30.000 t
Weight of the hook block 350 kg - 0.350 t
Weight of the fastening rope 50 kg - 0.050 t
Actual load capacity of the crane = 29.600 t

The weight of the load to be lifted, in this example, may not exceed 29.6 t.

25.1 Counterweight and / or ballast


The type of counterweight and / or ballast required depends on the weight of the load to be lifted and
the radius required for crane operation. The deciding factor for the selection of the counterweight and /
or ballast is the data in the corresponding load chart.

WARNING
The crane can topple over!
If the counterweight and / or ballast is not installed according to the load chart, then the crane can top-
ple over and fatally injure personnel!
u Install the counterweight and / or ballast as specified on the respective load chart!

25.2 Hoist gear, hoist rope


The lifting capability of the crane depends on the pull force of the hoist gear and the number of pos-
sible hoist rope reevings. When using a single strand, the crane can only lift a load that is pulled by the
hoist gear.
If the load to be lifted is heavier than the pull force if the hoist gear, then the hoist rope must be reeved
as needed according to the principle of a pulley between the pulley head on the boom and the hook
block.
When reeving, carefully observe the load chart specifications and the operating instructions.

WARNING
Hoist rope failure!
If the maximum pull force of the hoist gear is exceeded, the hoist rope can break or the hoist gear can
be damaged!
The load can fall and kill personnel!
u Observe the maximum tensile force of the hoist gear!
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

25.3 Crane operation


DANGER
There is a high risk of accidents should the following points not be observed!
u Observe the following points.

Great danger of accidents exists if:


1. The load torque limiter is not set in accordance with the current crane configuration and is there-
fore not able to provide proper protection.
2. The load torque limiter is defective or taken out of operation.
3. The hoist limit switches are defective or not functioning.

122 LTM 1400-7-1-007
2.04 General safety technical guidelines 029826-03

4. For crawler cranes and mobile cranes with luffing lattice jib:
The angle sensor and the force test brackets are not functioning.
5. For mobile cranes and crawler cranes with support:
The sliding beams of the hydraulic supports are not extended to the dimensions specified in the
load chart.
6. On crawler cranes:
The crawlers are not supported with stable base material sufficiently large for the ground conditi-
ons.
7. For mobile cranes and crawler cranes with support:
The support plates are not supported with stable base materials sufficiently large for the ground
conditions.
8. If the load is pulled at an angle.
Angular pulling to the side is particularly dangerous, because the boom has only minimal lateral
resistance momentum.
Angular pull is prohibited.
9. Load attached during disassembly is too heavy and is freely suspended on the crane after re-
lease.
10. The load hook is used to break away stuck loads.
Even if the weight of a stuck load does not exceed the permissible load capacity, the crane can
topple over backwards if the load is suddenly released due to the tension of the boom, which can
cause it to jerk back violently.
11. When working when the wind is excessively strong.
Comply with the load chart specifications.
12. The crane is not aligned horizontally and the load is swung toward the slope.
13. If improper crane movements cause the suspended load to swing like a pendulum.
14. The loads and radii specified in the load charts are exceeded.
15. When working in the vicinity of electricity transmission lines:
• The electricity transmission lines were not turned off by expert electricians
• or the danger zone was not covered or blocked off.

WARNING
Danger of current transfer!
If electricity transmission lines are not shut off nor covered nor blocked off, then there is an increased
danger due to current transfer!
u Adhere to the safety distance according to the following chart!
If the crane becomes electrified despite having taken all necessary precautions, proceed as follows:
u Remain calm!
u Do not leave the crane cab!
u Warn people outside: Stay in place and do not touch the crane!
u Move the crane away from the danger area!

28 Safety notes for external power feed (100 V AC to


400 V AC)

Fig.197720
A potential hazard exists when supplying a crane with an external power supply from a low voltage
distribution system (100 V AC to 400 V AC).
A special electrical hazard it present when a protective conductor is interrupted (caused by the mecha-
nical stress on flexible supply lines or the service connection), loose terminal connections, high wire or
contact resistance, mixed up conductors, defective or missing protective equipment (FI / fault interrup-
ters) in combination with a body contact on the crane.

WARNING
Danger of fatal injury if the body conducts current!
Water and / or defective devices can cause hazardous stray voltages when touched. The person tou-
ching the crane is subject to lethal currents.
u The external supply cable must be in good working order!

Make sure that the external flexible supply cable is in good working order.
Where applicable, we recommend the use of a power isolating transformer.

1 General checks before starting to drive


Various checks must be performed every time before operating the crane.
If an item is low or lacking during an inspection, then it must be refilled or brought to normal status
before operating the mobile crane.
If the inspection shows a very dirty filter, then it must be replaced before operating the mobile crane.

Note
u For detailed description of fill quantities, service items and lubricants, see chapter 7.06 and chapter
7.07 in the Crane operating instructions!

WARNING
Heated crane components!
When the engine is running, crane components can heat up significantly! This applies especially to ex-
haust systems, the engines, the coolant circuit and the respective gears in the crane chassis and in
the crane superstructure!
Touching heated crane components can cause severe injuries!
u Carry out the checks before starting the mobile crane, when the crane components are cold!
u Let already heated components cool off before checking!
u Proceed with special caution near heated components!

1.1 Checking the coolant level


WARNING
Danger of injury due to scalding of the skin!
u Never open the cap on the coolant reservoir as long as the engine is warm! The cooling system is
under pressure!
u To protect face, hands and arms from hot steam of hot coolant, cover the cap with a large rag
when opening!

u Check the coolant level.


If the coolant level is too low:
u Add coolant, see Crane operating instructions, chapter 7.04.

1.2 Checking the oil level and filters


u Check the oil level in the vehicle engine.
u Check the oil level in the automatic transmission and transfer gear box.
u Check the oil level in the hydraulic reservoir for steering, support and axle suspension.
u Check the filter on the hydraulic oil tank.

1.3 Checking the window cleaning fluid


NOTICE
Frozen window cleaning fluid!
If the window cleaning fluid is not frost resistant, then the windshield washer system can freeze during
the cold time of the year!
Failure of the windshield washer system is the result!
The windshield washer system can be damaged!
u Change the window cleaning fluid in time to a frost resistant type!

Before the start of the cold season:


u Empty the container for the window cleaning fluid and refill it with a commercially available, frost
resistant window cleaning fluid.

1.4 Checking the fuel level


WARNING
Danger of fire and explosion!
u Turn the auxiliary heater* off approx. 3 min before refueling the fuel tank!
u Before refueling the fuel tank, turn the engine off!

Note
If the fuel tank has been run dry, then the fuel system must be bled.
u Do not run the fuel tank dry.

u Check the fuel supply at the fuel gauge in the driver's cab.

1.5 Checking the tires


While doing this, also check the spare tire*.

Note
u See Crane operating instructions, chapter 8.01.

DANGER
Danger of fatal injury due to defective service brake!
u Carry out a test braking procedure immediately after starting to drive.

u Depress the pedal 1 and check the service brake.


Result:
– The displays on bargraph 242 and on bargraph 244 must move proportional to the pedal path of
the service brake.

3.4 Retarder
The retarder consists of the engine brake, the hydraulic Intarder and the eddy current brake.

3.4.1 Operating conditions


The retarder can only be operated with the engine turned on. If the retarder is being actuated, it is not
possible to accelerate.
Sensible use of the retarder by anticipating travel modes reduces wear on the service brake and the-
reby reduces operating costs.

DANGER
Utmost caution should be used when operating the retarder!
u Switch through the individual stages one by one while constantly observing the vehicle handling
characteristics.

On long downhill slopes


On long downhill slopes, select a shift that leaves further shift stages available for additional braking
procedures, which may be required.
If the braking effect is not sufficient, slow down the vehicle with the service brake and shift down.

On snow, ice and dirty road surfaces

DANGER
Danger of fatal injury!
u In the event that the wheels lock when operating the retarder, select a lower shift stage!

Careful use of the retarder will ensure safe and sure deceleration even under bad road surface conditi-
ons.

3.5.4 Uphill or downhill driving


If the engine regulation 2 is brought back to the 0 position due to the traffic situation on ascending and
descending gradients, the transmission initially switches back to the starting gear. Shortly before the
vehicle comes to a stop in this gear, the dry clutch is released and the tractive power or brake force is
interrupted. This can result in the vehicle suddenly rolling back or accelerating. Operating the engine
regulation 2 again will not immediately provide tractive power, since the dry clutch must be closed first.
On uphill slopes:
u Apply the service brake 1 after releasing the dry clutch.
On a descending gradient, expect a reduction in braking effort when opening the dry clutch:
u Apply the service brake 1 more firmly.

5 Steering
There are 6 operating modes for steering the crane:
1. Road driving, illustration 1
2. All-wheel steering, illustration 2
3. Crab steering, illustration 3
4. Reduced sheer out rate, illustration 4
5. Independent steering, illustration 5

Note
On public roads!
u Only drive in „on-road driving“ mode on public roads.

5.1 General
DANGER
Danger of crushing!
u Ensure no one is between the wheels when the engine is started and a gear is placed.

Approval to shift between the individual operating modes is checked each time by the system. If a shift
is not permitted, an acoustic signal will sound and an operating error message (LEC) will be shown on
the display unit 225.
A change in operating mode is only possible up to a speed of 18 km/h. The operating mode can only
be activated if the wheels are in a position which permits a direct transition to the selected operating
mode.
When the power supply is turned on, the last selected operating mode is activated.
If the steering deflection of the wheels correspond to the selected operating mode, then the selected
operating mode is activated.
If the steering deflection of the wheels does not correspond to the last selected operating mode, then
the function check on the button for the last selected operating mode will blink. Operating mode „Inde-
pendent steering“ will be set. This means that the respective operating mode can be selected indi-
rectly.
From a temperature of -20 °C operate steering several times before driving off to allow the oil in the
steering cylinders to get warm.

Note
Steering at standstill!
To ensure steering of the electrically steered rear axles at a speed of less than 5 km/h , a hydro accu-
mulator is actuated and charged with pressurized fluid from the steering circuit II every time the engine
is started and subsequently periodically after every steering request. This can cause a short term,
slight increase of force on the steering wheel.
u This procedure has no influence on the safety of the steering system, the steering system conti-

5.1.1 Limiting the speed in the event of defects in the active rear axle steering
If an error occurs in the steering, the maximum travel speed is limited to 40 km/h unless a restriction of
less than 40 km/h is already in effect and the vehicle is not moving at a speed of up to 40 km/h .
If an error occurs while driving and the travel speed is greater than 40 km/h , the maximum speed is
reduced to the current travel speed. This means that the driver will be able to continue to drive at the
current speed until the speed is reduced. However, he can no longer accelerate. If a speed of 40
km/h or less is reached the limit remains at 40 km/h . This is designed to ensure that the vehicle does
not suddenly lose power and therefore is suddenly slowed down.

5.1.2 Function controls


u Function indicator on the button lights up.
Result:
– Operating mode is activated.

u Function control on button does not light up.


Result:
– Operating mode is not activated.

u Function control on the button blinks slowly.


Result:
– Operating mode has been selected, but has not yet been accepted by the control.
– The function control will continue to blink until it is possible to transfer to the operating mode.

Problem remedy
The function control on the button for the active operating mode lights up, but the function control on
the button for the selected operating mode blinks slowly?
The selected operating mode does not correspond to the active operating mode because the control
system has not (yet) approved the shift change.
u Move the wheels into a position that will permit a change.
u Or select operating mode indirectly.

Problem remedy
The function control on the button blinks fast?
There is a defect in the steering system. The operation of the button will be suppressed and an acous-
tic signal or an error message will be indicated on the display unit 225 if necessary.
u Remedy the error.

5.1.3 Indicator lights


The indicator light 181 shows the condition of the steering:
– The indicator light 181 lights up: Steering ok.
– The indicator light 181 blinks fast: Error in steering system with error code.
– The indicator light 181 blinks slowly: Error in the LSB bus connection.

DANGER
Danger of accident!
An error in the steering will be indicated by the blinking indicator light 181 and fast blinking of all 6
buttons for the steering operating modes. An acoustic warning signal also sounds every 3 seconds.
The rear steering axles automatically return centered to the 0° position. If the vehicle is cornering at
this time, this action will only take place when the crane changes direction. The turning radius of the
crane will be greater due to the 0° position of the rear steering axles.
u Changing operating modes is no longer possible.
u Ensure that only a short distance is travelled at a reduced speed and bring the vehicle to a stop as
quickly as possible.
u Have problems remedied immediately by authorized, trained expert personnel!

u Set the ignition to „ON“.


Result:
– A bulb test will be carried out on the display unit and the keyboard.
– The indicator light 181 „Steering“ will be off for a short period.

Note
u If no defect in the „active rear axle steering“ is signalled at the keyboard or display unit, then the
crane may be driven.

5.2 Changing between operating modes

5.2.1 Direct selection


Select the desired operating mode using the button 143 and the operating mode button. Turn the stee-
ring wheel until the wheels of the front axles go through the 0° position. The wheels of the rear axle
will be automatically aligned. When the desired operating mode has been obtained, the indicator light
on the operating mode button lights up continuously.

5.2.2 Indirect selection using the operating mode „Independent steering“


The operating mode can also be changed without changing the current steering effort of the wheels on
the front axle. To do this, first select the operating mode „Independent steering“. When the „Indepen-
dent steering“ operating mode has been accepted, the button 143 and the desired operating mode
button must both be pressed until the wheels of the rear axles have achieved their specified position.
When the desired operating mode has been obtained, the indicator light on the operating mode button
lights up continuously.

5.3 On-road driving

Fig.102569
The „on-road driving“ operating mode is the default setting. In this mode, the rear steering axles are
steered depending on the steering deflection of the front axles. The steering angle reduces as the ve-
hicle accelerates. Steering axles 4 and 5 are moved back to the 0º position when the speed reaches
30 km/h. Steering axles 6 and 7 are moved back to the 0º position when the speed reaches 60 km/h.

Fig.197512

copyright by
LTM 1400-7-1-007 307
025675-05 3.04 Travel operation

In the „All-wheel steering“ operating mode, the rear steering axles are steered dependent on the stee-
ring effort of the front axles so that the vehicle attains as small a turn as possible.
The maximum travel speed is limited to 20 km/h.

Fig.197514
u Press button 143 and button 122.

5.5 Crab steering

Fig.102571
In the „Crab steering“ operating mode, the rear steering axles are steered in the same direction as the
front axles. The maximum steering effort of the rear steering axles is restricted by the maximum stee-
ring effort of the first rear steering axle.
The maximum travel speed is limited to 20 km/h.
The wheels could grind if the front axles are locked harder than the maximum possible angle of the
rear steering axles. This is also dependent on the weight distribution of the crane.

Fig.197516
u Press button 143 and button 123.

5.6 Reduced sheer out rate


LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Fig.102572
In the „Reduced sheer out rate“ operating mode, the rear steering axles are locked depending on the
front axles so that the sheer out rate of the rear of the vehicle is reduced to a minimum. This operating
mode would typically be selected when driving away from the edge of a group of houses.

The maximum travel speed is limited to 20 km/h.


Only restricted turns are possible in this operating mode.

Fig.197518
u Press button 143 and button 124.

5.7 Independent steering

Fig.102573

Fig.197523
In the „Independent steering“ operating mode, the rear steering axles are steered independent of the
steering effort of the front axles using the key 117 and the key 118. The rear steering axles lock in
parallel if the front axles and the rear steering axles all lock in the same direction. For deflection in the
opposite direction, the steering axles are proportioned as for cornering. The „Independent steering“
operating mode can be enabled in all wheel positions.
The maximum travel speed is limited to 20 km/h.

2.3 Extending the support cylinders with support control unit


DANGER
Danger of accident when supporting!
u Ensure that there are no persons or objects within the danger zone when the support cylinders are
extended and retracted.
u Raise the crane until the wheels are no longer touching the ground.
u Do not extend the support cylinders all the way during crane operation (up to stop position)! If the
support cylinders have been moved out all the way, retract them again by at least 10 mm!

Ensure that the crane has been lifted sufficiently so that the wheels are no longer touching the ground.

2.3.1 Supporting manually

2.3.2 Supporting automatically

DANGER
Danger of accident!
When the automatic support is operated the crane is levelled automatically.
u Make sure that the alignment is within the permissible tolerance and that all four support plates are
touching the ground.

As long as the chassis is at an incline (5° range) the support cylinders are actuated at a speed of ap-
proximately 75 %. When reaching the 1° range, the speed is reduced to 50 %.
u Press the button 272.
Result:
– All support cylinders are extended.
– The crane is aligned horizontally.

2.3.3 Checking the supports


In order to minimize the danger of an accident, the extension conditions and the following safety regu-
lations must be adhered to.

DANGER
Danger of fatal injury due to toppling crane!
The load suspended on the hook causes tension and deformation of the hoist rope and telescopic
boom (also applies to auxiliary boom and guy ropes during operation). If the load drops from the fas-
tening ropes in this situation, or if the fastening equipment or hoist rope breaks, a sudden relief occurs.
The boom snaps back quickly. If only the sliding beams on the load side are extended, the crane could
topple over.
Despite previous assumption, it may become necessary to swing the load to the opposite side. If only
the sliding beams on the load side are extended, the crane could topple over.
When rotating out of the longitudinal vehicle direction, the boom or counterweight force could tip over
the crane unless all four sliding beams are extended.
u Always extend all 4 sliding support beams, i.e. also on the side opposite the load.

u Check the extension conditions.


u Make sure that all four sliding support beams have been extended.

1 General
Note
Note
u The monitor illustrations in this chapter are only examples. The numerical values in the individual
icons and charts do not have to necessarily match the crane exactly. In addition, many of the illust-
rations show the maximum configuration of the LICCON monitor with icons. In normal crane opera-
tion, an identical display will not appear on the LICCON monitor.

The LICCON computer system is a computer system for controlling and monitoring mobile cranes. In
addition to the overload protection (Load moment limitation = LMB) there are a number of application
programs that can be used for controlling and monitoring the crane movements.
Currently the LICCON computer system includes the following application programs:
– „Set up“ program
– „Operation“ program
– „Telescoping“ program
– „Control parameter“ program
– „Working range limitation“ program*
– „Support“ program (Option)
– „Test system“ program
– „Engine monitoring“ program
– „Tele guying“ program
The electrical and electronic components in the chassis and the superstructure are linked via
data bus transmission technology (Liebherr System Bus = LSB).

1.1 Overload protection (LMB)


The overload protection is implemented in microprocessor CPU 0 of base assembly 0. The LICCON
computer system works on the principle of comparing the current / actual load with the maximum per-
missible load according to the load chart and reeving.

1.1.1 Actual load


The current load is determined by recording variable values.
The load on the crane results from the load momentum and the boom momentum together. It exerts
a force in the boom luffing cylinder, which is measured by pressure sensors.
The boom momentum is calculated with data from the angle sensors (boom angle), the length sen-
sors (boom length) and from crane data (boom weights) for the set operating mode.
The boom radius is calculated with data from the angle sensors (boom angle), the length sensors
(boom length) and from geometry data for the set operating mode. This also takes into account the
boom flexation due to its own weight and the weight of the load.
The actual load is calculated from the total load, the boom momentum and the boom radius.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

1.1.2 Maximum load according to load chart and reeving


Crane data such as load charts, boom weights and geometry data are stored in the central data me-
mory of the LICCON computer system.
The „maximum load according to the load chart and reeving“ is constantly determined for the set crane
configuration, for the set reeving and for the calculated radius, based on the load charts.

1.1.3 Comparison
The actual load and the „maximum load according to the loading chart and reeving“ are compared.
When they approach the specified limit, an advance warning is issued. If this limit is exceeded, the

overload stop is triggered and any crane movements which increase the load momentum are turned
off.

2 LICCON computer system boot up


After it is turned on, the LICCON computer system performs a self test.
First, the connections from the microprocessor CPU (CPU 0) to the monitor are checked. If no error is
found during the test, the monitor shows this image:

Fig.195145
If the test finds no connection problems, there is a system test of all the microprocessor CPUs (CPU).
The incremental sequence of the self test can be monitored on the 7 segment displays of the CPUs. If
no errors are found during the system test, the monitor shows this image:

Fig.195146
Subsequently the general initialization screen appears on the monitor momentarily:

Fig.195147

Note
Errors during the boot up procedure of the LICCON computer system.
If an advance warning, warning or STOP event occurs in the engine monitoring section while the LIC-
CON computer system boots up, the system switches automatically to the „Engine monitoring“ pro-
gram.
u Refer to section „Engine monitoring program“ for additional information.

If the start procedure has run successfully, it switches automatically to the „Set up“ program.

3 Operating mode preselection on the LICCON compu-


ter system
DANGER
Danger of accident!
u Only select the operating mode corresponding to the actual crane setup condition.

The operating mode preselection screen will appear on the monitor for approximately 3 s after comple-
tion of the start up procedure and successful self-test of the LICCON computer system.

Note
Note
u The operating mode preselection screen is skipped if the crane only has one level (for example:
only tele operation) - without optional equipment. In this case, the system changes directly into the
set up screen for the only possible level.
u If the memory loses its data (for example as a result of a cold start) the previous operating mode is
„rejected“ and the first operating mode in the operating mode selection menu is activated. In this
case, the corresponding set up screen appears.

When the operating mode preselection screen appears, press function key „F1“ or „F2“ within 3 s.
Result:
– The operating mode selection screen is retained until the settings are confirmed by pressing either
„F8“ or „ENTER“.

Note
Note
u If the crane operator does not press one of the two function keys „F1“ or „F2“ within 3 s , then the
system selects the operating mode which was active before the LICCON computer system was tur-
ned off and the corresponding set up screen appears automatically.

Press function key „F1“ (cursor down) or „F2“ (cursor up) to select the required crane operating
mode.

Note
Note
u The selected operating mode is highlighted in black on the operating mode preselection screen.

Press „F8“ or „ENTER“.


Result:
– The selected operating mode is accepted by the LICCON computer system and the corresponding
configuration screen is displayed.

5 „Set up“ program


After turning the LICCON computer system on and after successful boot up, the „Set up“ program ap-
pears automatically.

Note
Adjustment and display of set up configuration and reeving.
u Normally, the most recently run set up configuration and the reeving used at that time will be auto-
matically set and displayed. Only when the computer system is started for the first time, or after a
loss of data occurred in the memory, for example due to a cold boot (change of battery or CPU,
etc.), will the first valid set up configuration with the first valid operating mode and the reeving num-
ber „0“ appear on set up screen.

Using the „Set up“ program, the crane operator can set the current operating mode, the current confi-
guration state of the crane and the reeving number of the hoist rope.

n = reeving number of the hoist rope between the boom head and hook block, in order
to be able to lift the maximum load in the corresponding load chart column.
Note:
If a load value in the column exceeds that of a load that can be lifted with the maxi-
mum possible reeving, then there is an exclamation mark beside the reeving number
(„!“). This exclamation mark indicates that special equipment is needed to lift this load.
5 Line for special displays
• If a load chart consists of more than 7 columns, it cannot be fully displayed due to the
size of the monitor. In that case, marking arrows in the first or the seventh field in this
line indicate that there are additional chart columns to the left or right of the displayed
chart. They can be shown by pressing the key E1 or the key E2.
As supporting information, the currently selected column number and the number of
columns in the chart are shown, for example 1(63) means the first of 63 columns.
• Note:
Using the key combination SHIFT and E1 or SHIFT and E2, you can, where possible,
scroll left or right by seven load chart columns (corresponds to 1 page). The marking
for selecting a telescope target is placed in the center.

6 Extension condition of telescopic sections


• In percent [%]
• The first column contains the „Boom length“ icon [%].
Next to that are 5 lines for the extension condition of the telescopic sections. The num-
ber in the icon column describes the corresponding telescopic section (highest num-
ber = outermost telescopic section). The value in the boom length column displays the
extension condition of the telescope in percentages, which must be maintained for the
corresponding boom length.
The status indicator „+“ next to the percentage boom status value means that the cor-
responding telescopic section must be pinned.
The status indicator „-“ next to the percentage boom status value means that the cor-
responding telescopic section can be telescoped up as far as the percentage value of
the boom status under load (as in the load chart).
7 Mark for selecting telescope target
• The special function key E1 or the special function key E2 can be used to move the
mark to the left or right (See chapter 4.05, „Crane operation - Automatic telescoping“).
8 Main boom angle*
• In [°]
• In the line „xx“ the main boom angles are listed, which must be set in order to be able
to lift the load values in the corresponding load chart column
Note:
This line appears only for operating mode TN / TYSN. The number of lines for the ra-
dius values is thereby reduced to a maximum of 9 lines. See also section, „Main boom
angle interpolation“.

5.2.3 The function key line


The function key line consists of function keys F1 to F8 and the function key icon bar above it. The
function keys correspond to the various function key icons above them.
Various functions are indicated by the function key icons, or they may refer to changes of:
– Operating mode and
– set up configuration.
Not all function keys have to be assigned icons on the LICCON monitor. This depends on the program
selection.
Pressing a function key changes the appearance of the icon above, its meaning, or its textual content.
F1 Vertical paging
• Depending on the size of the monitor, up to 10 load chart lines can be displayed at
once. If a chart consists of more than 10 lines, then the display is spread over several
pages. When pressing a key, the next page of the load chart will be displayed, and the
number of the current page in the „general information line“ will be counted up by 1.
When the last page is reached, page 1 will appear again after pressing the function
key F1.
F2 Main geometry status
• Options for setting the different main boom operating modes of the crane (if available).
The types are described by abbreviations and length data in the icon.
• Example:
T for Telescopic boom
or
TY for Telescopic boom with Y-guying
SHIFT and F2
• Previous main boom (if present)

F3 Accessories
• Options for selecting the different accessory types of the crane (if available). The ty-
pes are described using abbreviations, angle and length data in the icon.
• Example:
TF for Crane operation with fixed lattice jib
or
TN for Crane operation with luffing lattice jib
• Note:
Pressing the function key F2 and / or the function key F3 deletes all data related to the
operating mode and set up status from the monitor and sets the short code in the ge-
neral information line to „CODE >????<“.
• Operating mode dependent data:
• Telescopic boom length icon for the general information line
• Length units and weight units
• Load chart organization number
• Boom radius icon
• Telescopic boom lengths
• Telescopic boom length icon in area „Extension condition of telescopic section in
percentages [%]“
• Extension condition of telescopic section with status indicator in percentages
• Set up dependent data:
• Numbering of current page number and total number of pages in load chart
• Radius values in length units
• Load values in weight units
SHIFT and F3
• Previous accessory status
F4 Counterweight
• Adjustment option for the current counterweight, which must be on the superstructure
in order to achieve the values in the current chart. When pressing a key, the following
icon appears with additional text in the counterweight icon.
• Example:
„ 120.0 t “ = total counterweight of 120.0 t
F5 Support base
• Adjustment option for support base. The supports must be extended and pinned to the
dimensions shown in the icon in order to work with the current load chart.
• Example:
„ 10.0 m x 9.5 m “ = wide support base (= length x width)
„ 10.0 m x 6.23 m “ = reduced support base (= length x width)

F6 Counterweight radius
1.Adjustment possibility of counterweight radius
2.Counterweight radius (extended): 6.6 m
3.Counterweight radius (retracted): 5.6 m
F7 Hoist rope reeving
• Adjustment possibility for the number of hoist rope strands in order to reach a particu-
lar load capacity.
The displayed number of hoist rope strands (reeving) in the icon will be increased with
every keystroke by one counter, up to a fixed maximum value for the respective ope-
rating mode. After that the counter restarts from a fixed minimum value.
If the set value is still within the minimum and maximum values when switching to ano-
ther operating mode within that range, it remains valid. Otherwise it will be set to the
minimum value for the new operating mode.
• After a „cold start“ (for example, loss of data in the memory), the display of the hoist
rope reeving is at „0“
SHIFT and F7
• Reduce the reeving number by 1
F8 Function key
• Confirmation of selected set up configuration
Prerequisites:
The configuration mode setting must be completed, i.e. a valid short code is displayed
and load capacity values are in the chart field.
The external conditions for this configuration state, if specified, must be fulfilled (e.g.
locking the superstructure).
The crane may not be utilized by more than 20 % in the previous set up configuration
and the load suspended on the hook may not be heavier than 0.5 t. Switching to the
„Operation“ program can otherwise only be done via the program key P1. In that case,
the newly entered set up configuration is not accepted.
If the crane is equipped with sliding beam monitoring*, the sliding beams must be ex-
tended to the support base specified in the selected load chart.
If these preconditions are fulfilled, then the „O.K.“ key confirms the correctness of the
chosen configuration state and the selected reeving, and transfers the parameters to
the „Operation“ program.
Note:
Make sure that after switching to the operating screen, the chosen set up configuration
(short code) and the hoist rope reeving(s) have been accepted.
• Display of operating errors from the „Set up“ program.
Operating errors which are created in the „Set up“ program are displayed in the icon
above the function key F8 and in the error stack for about 5 seconds. If the function
key F8 is pressed within 5 seconds, the program will switch automatically to the error
determination screen in the test system and the error is displayed in documentary
form. The operating error will not be saved.
Operating errors are always shown on top in the error stack.

LICCON monitor.
The key P and the key . have no function in the „Set up“ program.
P Program keys
• Selection among the individual programs. The settings in the set up program are dis-
carded and the set up configuration and reeving most recently confirmed with the O.K.
key will continue to be used.
A program currently running cannot be called again using its program key.
C Input key „ENTER“
• Confirmation of input both for short codes as well as for any change in the set up con-
figuration via the function keys
• ENTER after entering the short code, the code is searched for in all stored load charts.
If the matching load chart has been programmed, it will be displayed in full. Otherwise
there is an error message in the form of „????“ in the second part of the organization
number and the acoustic signal „Horn“ sounds.
• ENTER after a changing the operating mode using the Function key F2 and the func-
tion key F3 searches for this operating mode. If successful, sets its first set up configu-
ration and displays the load chart and its short code. In case of an error, the short
code display remains at „CODE ????“, the organization number is displayed as
„axxx???“, and the acoustic signal „Horn“ sounds.
• ENTER after a change in the equipment configuration using the function key F4, the
function key F5 and the function key F6, displays the load chart (if the chart exists)
plus the short code on the LICCON monitor. In case of an error, the short code display
remains at „CODE ????“ and the acoustic signal „Horn“ sounds.
D Set up key
• Has no function in the „Set up“ program
E Horizontal paging
• The E1 and E2 keys only have a function if this is indicated in the „Special displays
line“.
If a load chart consists of more than 7 columns, the first display of the set up configu-
ration only shows columns 1 to 7
The double arrow at the right edge of the line points to additional columns in either di-
rection. If the cursor touches an edge with arrows, the next movement in this direction
will display the next three chart columns. The cursor will then be automatically retur-
ned to the center.

6 The „Operation“ program


The LICCON program „Operation“ assists the crane driver by displaying clearly on the monitor the
data needed for operating the crane. An acoustic signal accompanies all critical displays. Depending
on the equipment, a range of other icons may also be turned on as additional displays, either as re-
quired by the crane operator or automatically in the event of a problem.
It also alerts the crane operator to imminent overload conditions. In the event of overload and many
error conditions, which could be hazardous, the system shuts off.
In the „Operations“ program, the monitor is divided into six sections:
– 6.1 Crane geometry and load information
– 6.2 Alarm functions
– 6.3 Special functions
– 6.4 Monitored auxiliary functions
– 6.5 Winch display
– 6.6 Function key line

Note
Note
u The monitor illustrations in this chapter are only examples. The numerical values in the individual
icons and charts do not have to necessarily match the crane exactly. The configuration of the LIC-
CON monitor with icons is only descriptive.
u An identical icon display will not appear during crane operation!

6.2 Alarm functions


The limit ranges of the crane movements are monitored. The crane operator is alerted that the limits
have been reached when the following blinking icons are shown.
2 „Boom limitation“ icon
• The luffing range of the boom is limited upward as well as downward. The icon ap-
pears if, while luffing the boom, the end position is reached as set by the selected load
chart.
2.1 Arrow pointing up
• The arrow shows that the main boom was shut off by triggering the upper limit.
Note:
Luffing down the main boom is still possible.
2.2 Arrow pointing down
• The arrow shows that the shut off of the main boom was due to triggering the lower
limit.
Note:
Luffing up the main boom is still possible.
2.3 Two arrows directed upward (one below the other)
• The arrows show that „luffing up the jib*“ was shut off by triggering the upper limit
(load chart end).
Note:
Luffing down the jib* remains possible.
2.4 Two arrows directed downward (one below the other)
• The arrows show that „luffing down the jib*“ was shut off by triggering the lower limit
(load chart end).
Note:
Luffing up the jib* remains possible.
2.5 Two arrows directed upward (one next to the other)
• The arrows show that „luffing up the jib*“ has been shut off unbypassably by running
against a block limit switch („jib on top block“, „jib on top flap“ or „flap not in position“).
Note:
Luffing down the jib* remains possible.
2.6 Two arrows directed downward (one next to the other)
• The arrows show that „luffing down the jib*“ was shut off unbypassably by running
against the limit switch „jib bottom“.
Note:
Luffing up the jib* remains possible.
2.7 Three arrows pointing up
• The arrows show that „luffing up the jib*“ was shut off by triggering the upper limit
(load chart end). Luffing up was continued with „Assembly“ until luffing up was shut off
unbypassably by triggering a block limit switch („Jib on top block“, „Jib top flap“ or
„Flap not in position“).
Note:
Luffing down the jib* remains possible.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

2.8 Three arrows pointing down


• The arrows show that „luffing down the jib*“ was shut off by triggering the lower limit
(load chart end). Luffing down was continued with „Assembly“ until unbypassably shut
off by triggering the „Jib bottom“ limit switch.
Note:
Luffing up the jib* remains possible.

2.9 Two exclamation marks


• The exclamation marks show that one or both of the double limit switches (right and
left) or angle sensor (top and bottom) of the jib* are not reported on the bus or are de-
fective.
Note:
If both limit switches are defective, the corresponding luffing movement is shut off and
cannot be bypassed and an operating error message is issued when the master
switch is deflected. If only one of the double limit switches or angle sensor is not ok,
then the crane can continue to be operated with „normal function“. However, the crane
must be driven with increased caution, since only one of the limit switches is functio-
ning. For that reason, the error must be remedied immediately. Along with the excla-
mation mark, a system error message is issued, which shows the defective limit switch
or angle sensor.
2.10 Two exclamation marks and arrows pointed upward
• This icon shows that one or both of the double limit switches (right and left) or angle
sensors (top and bottom) of the jib* are not reporting on the bus or are defective, and
in addition, „luffing up the jib“ has been shut off by triggering the upper limit (load chart
end). If „Luffing up the jib“ is also not possible with turned on „Assembly“, then luffing
up is shut off unbypassably by triggering a block limit switch („Jib top block“, „Jib top
flap“ or „Flap not in position“). This is shown by issuance of an operating error when
the master switch is deflected.
Note:
If both limit switches are defective, the corresponding luffing movement is shut off and
cannot be bypassed and an operating error message is issued when the master
switch is deflected. If only one of the double limit switches or angle sensor is not ok,
then the crane can continue to be operated with „normal function“. However, the crane
must be driven with increased caution, since only one of the limit switches is functio-
ning. For that reason, the error must be remedied immediately. Along with the excla-
mation mark, a system error message is issued, which shows the defective limit switch
or angle sensor.

2.11 Two exclamation marks and two arrows pointed downward


• This icon shows that one or both of the double limit switches (right and left) or angle
sensors (top and bottom) of the jib* are not reporting on the bus or are defective, and
in addition, „luffing down the jib“ has been shut off by triggering the lower limit (load
chart end). If „Luffing down the jib“ is not possible even with turned on „Assembly“,
then luffing down has been shut off unbypassably by triggering the block limit switch
„Jib bottom“. This is shown by issuance of an operating error when the master switch
is deflected.

7 „Horn“ icon
• Acoustic signal
• Sounds in addition to the optical display (for example, E:1TMS) of detected operatio-
nal errors, leading to interruption of a movement, and application errors with error
number (such as sensor errors, which occurred due to insufficient sensor signals or
due to defective sensors).
„Horn“ is a beeping sound of a duration of approximately 0.5 seconds, which is repea-
ted in one second rhythm.
• Operational errors are:
• Overload
• Boom outside the angle range of the load chart
• Boom outside radius range of the load chart
• Extension condition of telescopic sections not in accordance with the load chart
• The following sensors are monitored:
• Hoist limit switch
• Length sensors
• Angle sensors
• Pressure sensors
• Wind sensor
• Battery voltage
• Inductive sensors
„Short horn“
• Sounds in addition to the visual display of error messages without an error number
and which do not lead directly to crane movement shut off by the LICCON overload
protection.
„Short horn“ is a beeping sound that lasts for approximately 0.1 seconds and is repea-
ted in one second rhythm.
• The following errors are monitored:
• Maximum permissible wind speed exceeded (only for activated wind sensor*).
• Maximum or minimum support force exceeded (only with active support force moni-
toring*).
• Crane utilization value for „Advance warning“ (90 %) reached.
Priority and „Horn off“
• The „Horn“ alarm has higher priority than the „Short horn“ alarm, i.e. „Horn“ takes pre-
ference over „Short horn“.
• The „horn“ as well as the „short horn“ of the monitor may be turned off by function key
F8.
• Pressing the function key F8 again automatically changes the error definition display
of the test system. The error is displayed there in documentary form.

1 „Incline“ icon
• Display of the incline of the superstructure to the horizontal in longitudinal and lateral
direction. The display is graphic as well as numeric.
1.1 Graphic part
• The graphic display is in the form of a spirit level, with a moving dot (small square)
representing the air bubble. The center of the dot shows the precise incline value.
1.2 Numeric part
1.2.1 Incline range
• Value either 1° or 5°
This value describes the resolution of the graphic illustration and can only assume the
two values „1°“ or „5°“. If the incline is less than 1° in lateral direction and in longitudi-
nal direction, the level moves within the 1° range. If at least one value exceeds the 1°
limit, it switches to the 5° range.
The range change is automatic.
1.2.2 Crane incline
• In [°] in lateral direction
• The double arrow shows the direction of incline:
• Double arrow to left = Crane is inclined to the left.

3 „Support force display“* icon


• The LICCON support force monitoring system continuously records the current hyd-
raulic pressure present in all 4 support cylinders during crane operation using a press-
ure sensor, and converts this into a support force [t] value for each support.
The „Support force display“ icon * 3 may be displayed in the „Operation“ program, if
required, or the icon appears automatically with the alarm signal „short horn“ when a
critical situation occurs, when a support has reached or exceeded the maximum force
or has reached or fallen below the minimum force. The corresponding value is shown
by a blinking display.
Note:
The same maximum support force and a common minimum support force is pro-
grammed for each support at the factory. These 5 values may be changed in the „Sup-
port“ program, depending on the situation. (refer to section „Changing the minimum
and maximum support force monitoring“).
Independent of the programmed minimum / maximum values monitoring is conti-
nuous, if the total of the two lowest support forces is less than 15 % of the total sup-
port forces. If this limit is fallen below, the two supports with the lowest forces are
shown.

DANGER
Danger!
u When reaching the programmed minimum / maximum support forces, no automatic shut off of the
crane movements occurs!

DANGER
Danger of tipping over!
u When the two supports with the lowest forces are in the direction of the boom, telescoping in is
shut off.

3.1 Display of current support force


• Display of support force for each support

DANGER
Danger due to erroneous support force display!
The support force display may in some circumstances be defective or inaccurate.
u Also refer to hazard warnings in section „Support / Comments“.

The icon for winch2* or winch3*appears on the LICCON monitor, depending on the
switch position of rotary switch 437 - „Operating mode preselection for master switch
400“ - on master switch 1 (MS1) (see chapter 4.01, „Operating and control instru-
ments“).
2 „Winch 1“ icon
2.1 Travelled distance
• In [m] or [ft]
From a zero point to be determined
• For single operation with the reeving setting made in the „Set up“ program: Completed
hook path.
For parallel operation: Distance completed by hook block.
• The positions before the decimal point are displayed with a maximum of 3 large digits.
The digits after the decimal point are displayed with small digits. (Also refer to the
description of the function key F1 and function key F2.)
• A prerequisite for a correct display is that the value entered equals the actual number
of rope strands between the boom head and the hook block.
If the set reeving does not correspond with the reeving of the appropriate winch (for
example, winch on the boom nose at a set load chart for the main boom), the correct
hook path can be calculated from the displayed hook path as follows:

Fig.195148
Legend:
• sHk = correct hook path
• sHa = displayed hook path
• ne = selected reeving
• nt = actual reeving
• The hook path calculation only works accurately if the load is suspended freely and is
not luffed during the lifting procedure. Not taken into account are flexation and rope
expansion.
• Note:
The length display (hook path display) is only accurate and the layer sheer is only ta-
ken into account correctly if the winch has been calibrated and no interruptions of the
CPU power supply have occurred (cold start). The hook path display is calibrated by
spooling the rope up or out until the calibration switch reacts.
2.2 Direction of hook movement
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

The arrows on the length value show the direction of the hook movement in relation to
the zero point:
• Arrow pointing up: Hook has moved upward from the zero point.
• Arrow pointing down: Hook has moved down from the zero point.
2.3 Length unit for hook path display
• In [m] or [ft]

6.6 The function key line


The function key line consists of function keys F1 to F8 and the function key icon bar above it. The
function keys correspond to the various function key icons above them.
The function key icons may trigger a function or they change their appearance upon the push of a key
(function keys) and thereby their definition.
Not all function keys have icons assigned to them. This depends on the „active“ program selection.
Pressing a function key changes the appearance of the icon above, its meaning, or its textual content.
F1 Function key
• Zero point for hook travel display winch2* or winch3*
• Pressing the function key F1 causes the „Set winch display to zero“ icon to appear, i.e.
the winch2* or winch3* hook path display in the winch icon above is set to „000.00“
when the key is pressed. The path measurement begins here.
F2 Function key
• Zero point for hook travel display winch 1
• Pressing the function key F2 causes the „Set winch display to zero“ icon to appear, i.e.
the winch1 hook path display in the winch icon above is set to „000.00“ when the key
is pressed. The path measurement begins here.
F3 Function key
• Turn monitoring icons on / off
• The function key F3 can be used to turn all the monitored auxiliary functions in the
crane on or off
• The appearance of the icon changes according to the status:
„Thick border“ = auxiliary function icons turned off
„Thin border“ = auxiliary function icons turned on
• Note:
The monitoring system of all auxiliary functions is always active; only the icons can be
faded out. If a monitored limit has been exceeded, an acoustic warning (horn) sounds
and the corresponding icon is displayed, even if the monitoring icons have been hid-
den.
F4 Function key
• Change monitoring page (if present)
See also section „Monitored auxiliary functions“
F5 Function key
• Not assigned
F6 Function key

F7 Function key
• Taring
• When the function key F7 is pressed, the actual load display is set to „zero“. At the
same time, the word „net“ appears in the icon of the actual load display. This function,
for example, makes it possible to eliminate the weights of the hoist rope, load carriers,
lifting and fastening equipment and only display the weight of the load that must be
lifted (net load).
If the taring is cancelled, the word „net“ disappears from the icon „Actual load display“
and the gross load value is displayed.
• The taring is cancelled by one of the following three actions:
1.By pressing the function key F7 again.
2.By telescoping the boom by more than 3 LE (dm or 1/10 ft.).
3.By luffing by more than ±4°.
F8 Function key
1.Turn the horn off / error diagnostics
2.Turn off the acoustic warning
The „Horn“ and „Short horn“ acoustic warnings can be turned off by pressing the func-
tion key F8.
A new error turns the acoustic warning on again.
3.Error message in „Horn“ icon.
If a system, application or operating error occurs, an error message appears in the
„Horn“ icon (refer to illustration 1).
Example: E:0EAM1.
By pressing the function key F8 twice, the acoustic warning is turned off and the „Test
system“ program switches to the error determination screen where the error is docu-
mented (see Diagnostics).
4.Special function „Horn“ icon
A special program is available for crane acceptance in the LICCON computer system.
This program is blocked after completion of crane acceptance. If an additional marking
is displayed in the „Horn“ icon (talons along the upper margin, see illustration 2), this
means that the acceptance program is not yet blocked. Contact LIEBHERR Service
immediately.
In order to prevent error functions, access to the special program is only permit-
ted for trained LIEBHERR personnel.

10.3.1 Display current support forces


Display current support forces in operating screen, see „Monitored additional function for crane opera-
tion“.

10.3.2 Remarks
Because of the option to determine limit values yourself, the LICCON support force monitoring can
also be used as a way of giving advance warning.
Be aware that the screen display may be inaccurate. Because of friction in the support cylinders, de-
pending on the type of machine, a measurement error of up to ± 2 % of the maximum load carrying
capacity of a crane is possible.
This applies particularly:
– In case of large support forces.
– In case of far extended support cylinders.
– When extending the support cylinders (up to 15 minutes afterwards).
In order to ensure that the LICCON supporting force monitoring system operates correctly, do not let
the support cylinders move either on „bottom block“ or on „top block“. Otherwise the support force dis-
play will be incorrect.

10.3.3 Changing minimum and maximum support force limits


As an additional safety precaution, this program monitors the assembly switch. If assembly operations
are attempted, the system switches back to the „Operation“ program.
In the Monitoring and control field 4 the current support force values are displayed.
If one or more of the values are below or above the programmed maximum values for the support
force limits, then they are displayed blinking.
The programmed maximum / minimum values for the support force limits are displayed in the adjust-
ment field 5.
Ensure that:
– The crane is supported during operation.
– The assembly switch has not been activated.
The program initially runs in monitoring mode. All icons relevant to crane operation are displayed.

Note
Switching to the adjustment field for support limit forces.
u A LMB-STOP will be triggered immediately. All hoist and luffing moments are stopped and the
icons for crane operation disappear.

When pressing the function key F1, the two double arrows 5.5 point to the settings field 5 for support
limit forces. The cursor appears on the maximum value of the support limit force on support 1.
By pressing the function key F1 or function key F2 you switch the cursor to the next or previous maxi-
mum value for the support limit force or the minimum value for the support limit force (valid for all four
support cylinders).

Note
Testing the validity range for the support limit force values.
Every newly entered support limit force value will be tested for its validity range.
u If valid, the entered value will be accepted.
u If invalid, the value will be rejected as too small or too big with an „Error“ message.

Using the alphanumeric keys, you can change the support limit force values and then close the input
function using the ENTER key.
Use the function key F8 to switch back to the Monitoring and control field 4.
Use the program key P1 to switch back to the „Operation“ program.

11 The „Engine monitoring“ program


In the „Engine monitoring“ program, all relevant data for the engine are shown, such as engine oil
pressure, coolant temperature etc. In case of a problem, the system switches back automatically from
„Crane operation“, „Support“ or „Telescoping“ programs.
If the chassis motor is turned off during the crane operation, only data for the crane engine is dis-
played in the event of a failure or when switching to the engine monitoring screen.

11.1 Starting the program


The program starts automatically:
u Once if a STOP event takes place during crane operation (at least one master switch is deflected
or activated). The engine monitoring screen is displayed for 3 seconds and then automatically re-
verts to the operating screen.
or
At an advance warning, warning or STOP event during the start-up of the LICCON computer sys-
tem.

This is how you start the program at the prompt:


In that case the engine monitoring screen is retained, and all load torque increasing crane move-
ments are locked or turned off.
u Press the key combination SHIFT and P0 (Set up).

will be no automatic change over to the engine monitoring screen for the same event.
On switching back to the „Operation“ program, the STOP icon 6.2 or the Advance warning icon 5.2
appears. There is no indication about advance warnings in the „Operation“, „Telescoping“ or „Support“
programs.

WARNING
There is a danger of severe damage to the engine if STOP events are ignored!
If other programs are used for extended periods of time, for example the „Set up“ or „Test system“, it is
essential to switch occasionally to the engine monitoring screen in order to ensure that no engine mo-
nitoring events have occurred, which could lead to damage or destruction of the engine.

u Leave the ignition key 319 in position „I“.
Result:
– The engine is turned off.

13.2 Active stand-by operation / alarm


The operating programs and the monitor displays function exactly the same as in the turn-on proce-
dure for the LICCON computer system with engine start (crane operation).
No crane movements are possible. If a crane movement is selected anyway, a message appears on
the LICCON monitor.
Example: Control turning shut off, the crane engine is not running.
The duration of the stand-by operation is 15 minutes, of which 3 minutes are the stand-by alarm. Ope-
rating the LICCON computer system during stand-by operation automatically extends the stand-by
time.
u In stand-by operation no keys are pressed on the monitor.
Result:
– The stand-by alarm (horn) is reached after 12 minutes.
– This screen appears on the monitor: STANDBY (see illustration).
u Now press any key on the LICCON monitor.
Result:
– System switches back to the interrupted program.
– The stand-by time is extended by another 15 minutes.
u During the stand-by alarm (Duration: 3 minutes) no keys on the monitor are pressed.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

3.2 Starting the superstructure engine with heat flange controls, with a
coolant temperature below 20 °C
To improve the cold start procedure, the engine is equipped with a heat flange. The heat flange control
turns on at a coolant temperature below 10 °C. The heat flange control is also activated automatically
at a coolant temperature above 25 °C and a charge air temperature of less than - 10 °C. This turn on
condition is required for a warm engine and very cold air.
When the engine is started with heat flange control, the idling speed is automatically increased to as-
sist the battery.
u Turn the starter switch 319 to position „1“.
Result:
– The indicator light 316 lights up first and starts to blink after a short period of time, the engine is
ready to start.

Problem remedy
Rapid blinking of the indicator light 316 points to a problem on the heat flange control.
Recognized as problems are no voltage in the heat flange or a defect in the heat flange resistance.
u Remedy the problem.

WARNING
Functionality of the battery in the cold season.
The starting capacity of the battery is considerably reduced in cold temperatures: For example, at a
temperature of - 10 °C it has only 66 % of its normal capacity.
u Once the engine has been turned off, store batteries in a heated room, if possible.

3.3 Starting engine at ambient temperature of less than -20 °C*


Special measures are required if the outside temperatures are less than - 20 °C. These measures are
specific to each customer and are described in the separate additional chapter 6.05 „Preheating the

1 General
The crane operator is obligated before every crane operation to ensure that the warning and safety
devices are functioning.

WARNING
Danger of accident from defective warning and safety systems!
If the crane is operated with defective warning and safety devices, then there is a danger of accidents!
Personnel can be killed or seriously injured!
This could result in property damage!
u Make sure that all warning and safety devices are functioning.
u Make sure that the overload protection is functioning.

2 Quick test Crane geometry


Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
– The crane is properly supported and horizontally aligned.
– There is no load on the hook.

Note
u The horizontal alignment of the telescopic boom can be checked with a spirit level on point P1.

When the telescopic boom is completely telescoped in and horizontally aligned, the LICCON computer
system must show the following:
– Display Extension status telescopes 1: all values on 0 %
– Display Telescopic boom angle 2: 0°

3 Quick test Overload protection


Lift a known weight completely, such as the hook block or a counterweight plate and then set it down.
Make sure that the following prerequisite is met:
– The crane is properly supported and horizontally aligned.
The respective displayed values must be plausible:
– 3 Actual load display
– Utilization bar 4 (ratio of value Actual load display 3 to maximum load value 5)
– Example:
Value Actual load display 3 is 40 t.
Maximum load value 5 is 80 t.
Utilization bar 4 shows 50 %.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

4 LICCON computer system


The LICCON computer system is a system for controlling and monitoring mobile cranes. In addition to
the LICCON overload protection (Load torque limiter = LMB), there are a number of application pro-
grams that can be used for controlling and monitoring the crane movements. For a detailed description
see Crane operating instructions, chapter 4.02 and chapter 4.20.

copyright by
LTM 1400-7-1-007 527
028367-01 4.04 Safety equipment

4.1 LICCON overload protection


The LICCON overload protection is programmed to shut off the crane movements if the permissible
load moment is exceeded (LMB-STOP).
The LICCON overload protection may not be used as an operational shut off device for crane move-
ments of any kind.
An overload protection cannot detect all occurring conditions by itself. Careful and diligent crane ope-
ration by the crane operator is important.
The basis for the calculation of the utilization of the crane are:
– The currently data and values recorded by the crane control.
– The set up configuration entered by the crane operator.
Direct influence has, for example:
– Failure of a test device (for example: length sensor, angle sensor, pressure sensor).
– A set up configuration incorrectly entered by the crane operator.
– Environmental influences not considered (such as wind influence, ground with insufficient load bea-
ring capability).
– Assembly and operating errors

WARNING
Danger of accident due to assembly and operating errors!
Due to assembly and operating errors it is possible that the overload protection is not effective or shut
off is delayed!
A set up configuration which deviates from the load chart cannot be detected by the overload protec-
tion!
Environmental influences which are not considered cannot be detected by the overload protection!
Dangerous situations and accidents can result!
Personnel can be killed or seriously injured!
This could result in property damage!
u Always assemble and operate the crane carefully!

WARNING
Operational utilization of the overload protection!
If the LICCON overload protection is utilized as an operational shut off device for crane movements,
then there is a danger of accidents!
For example, crane movements can be shut off abruptly or uncontrolled!
The behavior of load and crane cannot be foreseen in such a case!
Personnel can be killed or seriously injured!
This could result in property damage!
u Do not use the LICCON overload protection as an operational shut off device for crane move-
ments!

WARNING
Lifting of unknown loads!
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

The presence of the overload protection does not relieve the crane operator of his obligation for care
and attention!
The crane may not only be operated according to the displays of the LICCON overload protection!
Lifting of loads with unknown weight and unknown properties can lead to accidents!
Personnel can be killed or seriously injured!

5 Turning
The speed of the „turning“ crane movement is controlled via the deflection of master switch 2 400 and
via the pedal 377 of the engine regulation.
The basic principle is that with a longer boom and a heavier load, the crane should be operated at
lower speed.
In the „Control Parameter“ program, it is possible to preselect the maximum rotational speed.
See chapter 4.02 „LICCON computer system“, section „Control Parameters“.
The load chart manual gives the maximum slewing speeds in percentages. These values depend on
the boom length and the operating mode, and may not be exceed under any circumstances.
Make sure that the following prerequisite is met:
– The seat contact switch is activated.

5.1 Turning the crane superstructure


Ensure that the superstructure is unpinned before initiating the turning movement.

DANGER
Danger of fatal injury!
u Ensure that there are no obstacles in the crane's working area and no persons in the danger zone.
u Give a short warning signal (horn) before starting a crane movement.
u When turning with a load, perform the turning manoeuvre very carefully and apply the brakes.

u Deflect the master switch 2 400 in direction X+.


Result:
– Superstructure turns to the right.
u Deflect the master switch 2 400 in direction X-.
Result:
– Superstructure turns to the left.

5.2 Slewing gear, general


This crane is equipped with a „closed slewing gear“. With a „closed circuit slewing gear“ the braking
effect starts as soon as master switch 2 400 is moved towards the neutral position (parking brake clo-
sed). The parking brake is released as soon as master switch 2 400 is moved away from the neutral
position.

5.2.1 Turning the parking brake on / off


If the parking brake is turned off, then the load can be held by the slewing gear brake 375.
The parking brake turns on automatically if:
– The seat contact switch 301 is not actuated.
– The engine is turned off.
The parking brake can not be turned off if:
– The slewing gear was turned off by the sliding beam monitoring.
– The slewing gear was turned off by the LICCON overload protection.
– The working range limitation is active.
u Press the button 418.
Result:
– Parking brake is switched off.
– The indicator light 417 lights up.

DANGER
Uncontrolled turning crane!
If the parking brake is turned off and the master switch 2 400 is not deflected, the crane superstruc-
ture, as a result of external forces (such as wind, incline position of the crane, etc.), can turn slowly
due to leakage in the closed hydraulic circuit.
u With the parking brake turned off and the master switch 2 400 not deflected, check that the crane
does not turn uncontrollably!

u Press the button 418 again.


Result:
– The parking brake is on.
– Indicator light 417 does not light up.

5.3 Switching the slewing gear to coasting


In order to position the boom over the load more easily, the slewing gear can be switched to coasting.
The master switch 2 400 may not be deflected while doing so.
The slewing gear cannot be switched to coasting in these situations:
– The slewing gear was turned off by the sliding beam monitoring.
– The slewing gear was turned off by the LICCON overload protection.
– The working range limitation is active.
u Press the foot button 376.
Result:
– The slewing gear is switched to freewheel.

Problem remedy
With the slewing gear released, the superstructure turns unintentionally to the side (for example due to
wind).
u Do not release foot button 376.
u Move the master switch 2 400 in slewing direction and then release the foot button 376.
u Brake the slewing movement by slowly resetting the master switch 2 400.

5.4 Applying the slewing gear brake


CAUTION
Risk of damaging the slewing gear or the roller ring connection!
The slewing gear brake cannot brake all the torque. Failure to comply with the following instructions
could damage the slewing gear or roller ring connection.
u Slewing gear brake 375 must only be used at minimal rotation speeds, in other words with master
switch 2 400 almost at the neutral position.
u Do not brake the turning movement of the crane by moving the master switch 2 400 back to the
neutral position and by abruptly applying the slewing gear brake 375!

The slewing gear brake 375 is only to be used in the following situations.

5.4.1 Starting out in strong side wind


When turning against the wind in strong side wind and with a long boom system, then the superstruc-
ture will turn into the opposite direction due to leakage in the hydraulic motor.
This can be avoided as follows:
u Actuate the slewing gear brake 375 and move master switch 2 400 to the desired turning direction.
u Slowly release the slewing gear brake 375 until the superstructure turns in the desired slewing di-
rection.

5.4.2 Stopping the slewing movement in strong side wind


LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

u Slow down the crane with master switch 2 400 to minimum turning speed.
u Apply the slewing gear brake 375 carefully until the crane has come to a standstill at the desired
position.

6 Telescoping
NOTICE
Damage to hydraulic pumps!
If the telescoping cylinder is not telescoped in before turning the superstructure engine off, then the
hydraulic pumps can be damaged! This applies especially at low temperatures.
u Telescope the telescoping cylinder in manually to 15 % before turning the superstructure engine
off!

NOTICE
Damage of the push out mechanism on the telescopic boom!
If the following conditions are not observed, there is a danger that the telescopic boom is significantly
distorted on the side during the telescoping procedure and that the telescoping cylinder can no longer
retract into the corresponding telescope, but hits against the end section on the front.
This can cause damage to the push out mechanism on the telescopic boom!
u If the telescopic boom is telescoped, especially with auxiliary boom or tele extension, then it must
be ensured before the telescoping procedure that:
u The crane vehicle is supported and horizontally aligned.
u The telescopic boom is not significantly heated up on one side due to sun exposure.
u There is no strong side wind.

Make sure that the following prerequisite is met:


– The seat contact switch is activated.

6.1 Control of crane movement Telescoping


The speed of crane movement is controlled by the deflection of foot rocker (MSY) 374 and by the pe-
dal of the engine regulation 377.
u Move the foot rocker (MSY) 374 in direction Y+ (forward).
Result:
– The telescopic boom is telescoped out.

u Move the foot rocker (MSY) 374 in direction Y- (backward).


Result:
– The telescopic boom is telescoped in.

6.2 General
The „Telematik“ automatic telescopic boom control system consists of:
– The double acting telescoping cylinder.
– The hydraulically operated gripper pinning.
– The hydraulically operated boom pinning.
The gripper and boom pinning is mechanically interlinked, which means a telescope section can only
be unpinned when the gripper is locked simultaneously with this telescope section.
In the LICCON telescoping screen the crane operator can see, in dynamic graphics, the pinning state
of the telescopic boom, the position of the individual telescopes in relation to each other and the ex-
tension status of the telescoping cylinder.
Due to the automatic telescoping procedure, the crane operator can easily telescope the telescoping
boom, as he does not have to concern himself with the pinning or unpinning of the telescoping cylinder
or the telescopes. The LICCON telescoping control system therefore makes possible very straightfor-
ward telescoping, only the desired telescoping targets need to be entered into the system.
The LICCON telescoping control system decides the sequence in which the individual telescopes will
be moved in order to achieve the desired end state. After setting the desired telescoping targets, all
telescoping movements,as well as locking and unlocking, are carried out fully automatically
The following procedures are carried out by the system:
– Locking and unlocking of the telescoping cylinders.
– Pinning and unpinning of the telescopes.
– Sequence of events for the telescopes to be telescoped in order to achieve the desired end state.
This automatic process will however only be carried out as long as the foot rocker 374 is pressed.
The foot rocker 374 determines the direction and the speed of the telescoping movement. In this way
the crane operator has continuous control over the crane.
The direction of the cylinder movement is set by the LICCON computer system.
If the telescopic boom is lengthened, with the result that currently unreachable telescopes must be
moved, then they must first be retracted until the last telescope to be moved is reached. In this case,
in order to lengthen the telescopic boom (telescope out), telescoping in must first take place.
The LICCON computer system displays the direction in which the next telescoping must be done. The
foot rocker 374 must be deflected to correspond to this specified direction. In this way the connection
between the direction of movement of the foot rocker 374 and the telescope continues.
In this way it is possible to move to a telescoping target automatically without an operating screen. It is
therefore also not essential to keep watching the monitor all the time.
If the direction needs to be changed by the foot rocker 374, the telescopic boom remains stationary if
the current direction is to be maintained. This also means that the foot rocker 374 must be moved in
the other direction. If there is no further movement in the other direction, this means that the telesco-
ping target has been reached. This state is displayed visually on the operating screen. If the foot ro-
cker 374 is still being pressed, then the system switches to the telescoping screen after 3 to 5 se-
conds.

6.3 Selecting the telescoping target


There are two options for selecting the telescoping target:
1. Target selection through the set up screen
2. Target selection through the telescoping screen

6.3.1 Selecting the target via the configuration screen


u Press the program key P0.
Result:
– The configuration screen appears on the monitor.
u Using the arrow keys 4, move the cursor 1 to the left or the right into the column corresponding to
the desired telescopic boom length.
As supporting information, the currently selected column number 3 and the number of columns in this
chart are shown. For example, 1(63) means 1 of 63 columns.
The status indicator (±) on the left next to the percentage extension condition value means:
– + the corresponding telescopic section must be pinned.
– - the corresponding telescopic section can be telescoped up to the percentage value of the exten-
sion status value under load (according to the load chart).
The double arrow 2 at the left and / or right edge of this line points to additional columns in either di-
rection.
If the cursor 1 touches an edge marked with arrows, the next movement in this direction will display
the next load chart column(s).
The cursor 1 itself will be set on the next column, if possible in the middle.
A change in the telescoping target is only possible if the foot rocker 374 is in neutral.
If no cursor appears in the set up screen, this means that on the telescoping screen a boom configura-
tion that is not supported in the charts was selected and perhaps even started!
u Press function key F8.
Result:
– The selected telescoping target will be activated.
– The selected column for the respective telescoping target will be marked in bold along the side.

6.3.2 Selecting the target via the telescoping screen


u Press the program key P4.
Result:
– The telescoping screen appears on the monitor.
The selection of the telescoping target is achieved by pressing multiple times on the function key as-
signed to the telescope concerned. Every time the key is pressed, the intended extension status of the
associated telescope changes to the next percentage value where there is a pin bore.
In contrast to the set up screen, the telescoping length is displayed immediately as a target, without
further confirmation, as soon as the function key is pressed. No confirmation is required, as the assig-
ned function keys do not have any other functions.
The appearance of a direction arrow in the automatic icon 9.2 immediately after a change in the tele-
scoping target can be interpreted as feedback.
If the blinking icon 2 appears on the monitor, then:
– The telescopic sections cannot be unpinned.
– The unpinned load is exceeded.
– No load chart present.
u Press function key F4.
Result:
– These figures appear on telescope 1, 0 %, 46 %, 92 % or 100 %.
u Press function key F5.
Result:
– These figures appear on telescope 2, 0 %, 46 %, 92 % or 100 %.
u Press function key F6.
Result:
– These figures appear on telescope 3, 0 %, 46 %, 92 % or 100 %.
u Press function key F7.
Result:
– These figures appear on telescope 4, 0 %, 46 %, 92 % or 100 %.

6.4 Telescoping to the selected target


If the desired telescoping target is set, then the direction in which the foot rocker 374 must be moved
is displayed on the operating screen and on the telescoping screen.
If the foot rocker 374 is moved against the specified direction, then the telescope remains stationary.
The default direction remains visible as a possible error criterion.
If the set telescoping target has been reached, then the telescoping boom remains stationary regard-
less of any deflection of the foot rocker 374 and the markings on the set telescoping target begin to
blink. The target has thus been reached.
If the arrow 9.2 up appears in the automatic icon 9:
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

u Push the foot rocker 374 forward.


Result:
– The telescopic boom is telescoped out.
If the arrow 9.2 down appears in the automatic icon 9:
u Push the foot rocker 374 backward.
Result:
– The telescopic boom is telescoped in.

6.5 Telescoping with the operating screen


The telescoping system is designed so that an experienced crane driver can telescope without the te-
lescoping screen, in other words using just the operating screen.
The crane operator receives information about the direction in which the foot rocker 374 must be mo-
ved from the arrow 5.3.2 in the icon 5.
If the crane operator attempts further telescoping once the telescoping target has been reached, then
there is an automatic changeover from the operating screen to the telescoping screen. If the foot but-
ton 374 is still being pressed, then the markings on the set telescoping target blink. This means that
the telescoping target has been reached.
If the arrow 5.3.2 up appears in the icon 5:
u Push the foot rocker 374 forward.
Result:
– The telescopic boom is telescoped out.
If the arrow 5.3.2 down appears in the automatic icon 5:
u Push the foot rocker 374 backward.
Result:
– The telescopic boom is telescoped in.
Once the telescoping target is reached, icon A! 5.3.1 appears.
u Press the foot rocker 374 for another 3 seconds or so, until the telescope is resting on the pins.

6.6 Aborting telescoping


Telescoping can be aborted at any time.
The pins, the telescoping cylinder and the telescopes remain where they were, in the last state they
were in when the foot rocker 374 was still being deflected.
If desired, a new telescoping target can be set and telescoped to automatically.
It is also possible to proceed manually by switching over to manual operation.

6.7 Manually telescoping the telescopic boom


Manual telescoping is regarded as an exception mode, as automatic mode makes it possible to reach
any chosen extension state.
In manual telescoping, pinning and unpinning of the telescoping cylinder, and telescoping, must be
carried out manually.
The marking on the telescoping screen will indicate in which telescope the pinning equipment of the
telescoping cylinder is currently located.
The proximity to a telescope pin bore can be inferred on the telescoping screen to an accuracy of 1 %.

6.7.1 Activating manual telescoping operation

1 Wire ropes and rope end connections


1.1 Wire ropes
Please check if a rotating resistant or a non-rotating rope is required for the application. The type of
rope that is selected then determines the required type of rope end connections, see Crane operating
instructions, chapter 8.04.

Note
u The correct choice and use of wire rope and rope end connections are decisive preconditions for
proper and accident-free crane operation!

DANGER
Danger of serious personnel injury and equipment damage!
u Never use rotation-resistant ropes with a rotating rope end connection!
u Never install a twist compensator / swivel!

1.2 Rope end connections


Rope end connections are grouped into:
– Rope end connections with rope clamp 8
For that, use a rope lock 1, see illustration 1
– Rope end connections without rope clamp
For that, use a wedge lock 40, see illustration 2

1 Safety technical instructions for working with a load


Note
u In addition to this chapter, observe Chapter 2.04 in the Crane operating instructions.

WARNING
The crane can topple over!
For steep boom positions, for which no loads are specified in the load charts there is a risk of the
crane superstructure toppling when turning „backward“, i.e. towards the counterweight side.
There is a particular danger if the support basis has been reduced and supported with the sliding be-
ams retracted.
Personnel can be severely injured or killed.
u The radii specified in the load chart must be observed.

WARNING
Danger of accident due to faulty operation!
If the reeving number on the pulley head is less than the reeving number set on the LICCON computer
system and if the load is lifted with the luffing gear, it can result in an overload of the hoist rope, as a
result, the hoist rope can rip, causing the load to drop.
Personnel can be severely injured or killed.
u Always comply with the reeving numbers specified in the load chart for maximum loads.
u The reeving on the pulley head and the reeving set on the LICCON computer system must match,
otherwise crane operation is prohibited.

DANGER
Danger of fatal accidents due falling load!
If the number of three coils is fallen below (for example due to a technical defect), the hoist rope is
ripped from the winch drum and the load falls down.
Personnel can be severely injured or killed.
u The crane operator must ensure that there are always at least three rope coils on the winch drum.

Always comply with the maximum loads specified in the load chart.
The weight of the hook block according the load chart must be taken into account.
For the lift, use the hook block which is suited best for the existing set up configuration in connection
with the load chart.
Initiate all crane movements carefully. Also slow down the crane movements carefully. That way you
can avoid a swinging or pendulum motion in the suspended load.

2 Checks before starting to work with the crane


LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Before starting work with the crane, the crane operator must carry out a further inspection to satisfy
himself about the craneʼs operational safety:
– Check that the crane is properly supported and level.
– Check that all values in the load chart that apply to the current equipment configuration have been
entered and met.
– Ensure that there are no people or objects in the crane danger zone.

LTM 1400-7-1-007 639
026079-15 4.08 Working with a load

WARNING
Danger of accidents when turning the crane superstructure!
By turning the crane superstructure in restricted space conditions on the job site, especially in the rear
area of the counterweight and towards the chassis, personnel can be crushed and severely injured or
killed.
u Give a short warning signal (horn) before starting a crane movement.
u Ensure before starting any slewing movement that there are no people or objects in the danger
zone.

2.1 Visual check for damage


WARNING
Danger of accident!
If the crane is operated despite existing defects, personnel can be severely injured or killed.
u In the event of deficiencies which threaten operational safety, stop crane operations immediately.

The following deficiencies threaten the craneʼs operational safety:


– Damage to load-bearing parts of the crane design, such as booms, supports etc.
– Failure of the hoist gear brake and consequent slipping of the load
– Functional failures in the crane control system
– Functional defects in the indicator and warning lights
– Damage to the hoist ropes
– Functional defects in the safety devices
– Leakages on safety relevant components of the crane hydraulic
Inform the appropriate supervisor about the deficiencies on the crane and also inform your relief when
crane operators are changed.

2.2 Telescopic boom distortion because of sunshine on one side


A temperature difference occurs between the side facing the sun and the side facing away from the
sun for cranes with telescopic booms. This causes telescopic boom side distortion, which can reduce
the load-bearing capacity of the telescopic boom.
For example, a temperature difference between the two boom sides of 30 °C and a boom length of
60 m results in a length difference caused by the temperature difference between the two sides of the
telescopic boom of approximately 22 mm. With narrow boom parts, this causes the profiles to bend
sideways.
If the maximum load carrying capacity is being utilized when a telescopic boom extension such as a
fixed lattice jib, luffing lattice jib or folding jib is being used, then in must be ensured through a visual
inspection before picking up the load that the boom is not showing signs of side deformation due to
one-sided sun exposure.

WARNING
Danger of accident due to component overload!
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

If the telescopic boom has become distorted because of one-sided sunlight, this can cause component
overload and therefore accidents.
u Turn the crane so that both sides of the boom are heated up equally, eliminating side deformation
due to temperature difference.

3 Crane movement - Telescoping


If the telescopic boom is telescoped with the auxiliary boom or telescopic boom extension, before the
telescoping procedure, ensure that:
– The crane is properly supported and horizontally aligned.
– The telescopic boom is evenly warmed up by solar radiation.

– There is no strong side wind.

WARNING
Damage of the telescopic boom or the hoist rope!
If these 3 factors are not adhered to, damage of the telescopic boom or the hoist rope can occur and
lead to accidents.
u Support the crane properly and align it horizontally.
u Keep both sides of the boom at about the same temperature.
u Telescope only to the permissible wind speed according to the load chart.
u If the actual wind speed is higher than the permissible wind speed noted on the load chart, telesco-
ping is prohibited.

4.2 Load take up with cross bar


Cross bars are load handling equipment between crane hook and load.
The distance of the center of gravity L1 is the vertical dimension from the fastening point of the load to
the center of gravity of the load.
The cross bar height L2 is the vertical dimension from the point of rotation of the crane hook to the
next lower linkage point of the cross bar.

WARNING
Tipping of load to the side!
If fastening ropes are used which are too short, so that the load center of gravity is above the fasten-
ing point, then there is a danger of the load tipping to the side.
Personnel can be severely injured or killed.
u The load center of gravity must be below the crane hook.
u The distance of the center of gravity L1 must be smaller than the cross bar height L2 (L1 < L2).

4.4 Lifting the load


WARNING
Danger of crushing for people in the load zone!
If personnel is located between the load to be lifted and a possible interfering edge (such as a wall of a
building or similar) when the load is lifted, personnel can be severely injured or killed.
u Before lifting the load it must be ensured that there are no persons within the danger zone.
u It is prohibited to remain within the danger zone.
u It is prohibited for anyone to be under the load. Keep a safety distance.
u Swinging the load is prohibited.
u Exercise extreme caution when lifting a load.

WARNING
The crane can topple over!
If an attempt to lift a load over the hoist gear causes the LICCON overload protection to turn off, then
the load may not be lifted by luffing up the boom. This causes overload or toppling the crane.
Personnel can be severely injured or killed.
u Do not lift the load by luffing up the boom off the ground.

Note
When using the assembly winch* observe the following:
u Use the assembly winch* only for assembly and not for lifting loads.
u Lifting of loads with the auxiliary winch is prohibited.

If the fastening rope is manually attached by an assistant to the load to be lifted:


– Make sure that the assistantʼs hands are not crushed by the tightened ropes between the load and
the fastening rope.
– Make sure that the assistantʼs body parts (hands, legs etc.) are not crushed by a swaying move-
ment of the load during lifting.

4.5 Angular pulling


WARNING
The crane can topple over!
Angular pulling can destroy the crane or cause it to topple over.
Personnel can be severely injured or killed.
u Attach (hang) the hook block always vertically over the center of gravity of the load to be lifted.
u Do not use the slewing gear to pull and set up loads.
u Angular pull is prohibited.

The crane is designed only to lift loads vertically. During angular pulling, regardless of whether this is
done in the same direction as the boom or laterally, horizontal forces are generated in addition to the
vertical forces, for which the boom is not designed.

WARNING
The crane can topple over!
Ripping stuck loads free can destroy the crane or cause it to topple over.
Personnel can be severely injured or killed.
u Ripping stuck loads free is prohibited.

5 Crane operation
The maximum load capacity of the crane is not just limited by the stability, but in many cases a load-
bearing component breaks when the crane is overloaded before the crane topples over. Components
that are susceptible to buckling such as the telescopic boom may fail suddenly without showing
signs of distortion beforehand if the crane is overloaded.

WARNING
Danger of accidents for cranes with luffing cylinders!
When the luffing cylinder is on block position, the overload protection is not functioning.
u Crane operation at block position of luffing cylinders is prohibited.

5.1 General
A suspended load must always be kept under control. A fundamental requirement for this is the safe
and delicate control of the craneʼs functions.

WARNING
Risk of accident due to swaying loads!
A swaying load can damage the crane and cause it to topple.
u All crane movements must be executed slowly and delicately.
u Initiate all crane movements slowly.
u Apply the brakes slowly in all crane movements.
u Crane operation with swaying load is prohibited.

NOTICE
Damage of rope pulleys!
u Place down hook blocks, booms, folding jibs, auxiliary booms and boom noses in such a way that
the rope pulleys do not lie on the ground and are damaged.

5.2 Guiding the load


The use of guide ropes is recommended to help the crane operator manage the load more precisely
and to prevent the load from swaying. This will prevent undesirable movements of the load and conse-
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

quent damage.

5.3 Danger of crushing


WARNING
Danger of fatal injury!
Extreme care is needed when lowering a load. Mortal danger exists for personnel in the immediate
area of the load being lowered.
Personnel can be severely injured or killed.
u Standing under a suspended loads is strictly prohibited.

If persons are on the suspended load, then they can fall down and be severely injured or killed.
u Remaining on a suspended load is strictly prohibited.
u Remaining on or within crane components (for example: At assembly of boom sections, lattice sec-
tions) which are moved during lifting, lowering, turning or closing procedures is strictly prohibited.

5.5 Working in the vicinity of electricity transmission lines


If there are electricity transmission lines in the immediate vicinity of the building site, then the electrical
transmission lines must be turned off by qualified electricians. If this is not possible, the danger area
must be covered over or cordoned off.

WARNING
Danger of current transfer!
If electricity transmission lines are not shut off nor covered nor blocked off, then there is an increased
danger due to current transfer.
u For rated voltages to 500 kV AC: Adhere to a safety distance of 8 m.
If the crane becomes electrified despite having taken all necessary precautions, proceed as follows:
u Remain calm!
u Do not leave the crane cab.
u Warn people outside: Stay in place and do not touch the crane.
u Move the crane away from the danger zone.

5.6 Ram work or pulling sheet piles


Vibration can be transmitted to the supporting steel structure of the crane during ram work or when
pulling sheet piles with the crane. This vibration can cause premature fatigue of the material and the-
refore cracks in the supporting steel structure.

DANGER
Important instructions for „ram work“ or „pulling sheet piles“.
If the crane is used for ram work or pulling sheet piles, then the following instructions must be follo-
wed. Failure to follow the instructions can result in damage to the crane.
u The ramming equipment may not pass on vibrations into the boom.
u When pulling sheet piles, the maximum pull force of the crane is limited according to the load chart.
Restricting the maximum pull force via the crane overload protection only is prohibited. The pull
force must be additionally checked by measuring.

2.5 Reeving in TF / TYSF operation*


The rope reeving for TF / TYSF operation is the same as for TN / TYSN operation. It is different in TF /
TYSF-operation only in that the hoist rope is guided over the swing pulley 6 and not over the NA frame
II.
For reeving see TN / TYSN operation.

In the crane operator's cab, two buttons are installed to make it possible to bring the crane from an
emergency situation after a shut off of the LICCON overload protection.
– Set up key D (Function „Exceeding the shut off limits for the LICCON overload protection“) on the
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

LICCON monitor with crane operating screen, illustration 3


– Button 5 „luffing in with suspended load“ in the left control console

Note
The set up key D has two functions, independent of each other:
u If no crane movement can be carried out due to the shut off of crane operation by the LICCON
overload protection, then by pressing the set up key D, a 100 % utilization can be exceeded and /
or an active shut off can be bypassed. The crane can thereby be controlled again in normal opera-
ting status (utilization below 100 % and no active shut off).
u When the set up key D is actuated, all erection / take down procedures can be carried out within
the erection / take down charts (assembly operation).

the set up key D includes the following:
– Exceedance of the maximum permissible load moment
– Bypass of the hoist top shut off
– Exceedance of limit values from load charts
– Allowance of individual, limited crane movements after LML-STOP (error message)
– Completion of crane movements outside of load charts (erection / take down procedures)

NOTICE
Multi action function „Exceedance of shut off limits of the LICCON overload protection“
If the set up key D is actuated, then it is possible to exceed several shut off limits of the LICCON over-
load protection simultaneously!
The LICCON overload protection as a whole is deactivated or limited.
There is no additional protection against crane overload!
u When the set up key D is actuated, it must be taken into account that the LICCON overload protec-
tion as a whole is deactivated or limited.

WARNING
Danger of accident due to function „Exceedance of shut off limits of the LICCON overload protection“!
If the shut off limits of the LICCON overload protection are exceeded, there is no additional protection
against crane overload!
Due to erroneous operation or deliberate misuse, the crane could collapse, the boom can break off or
the crane can topple over!
Personnel can be severely injured or killed!
u The button 5 „Luffing in with suspended load“ and the set up key D may only be actuated when it is

2.3 Shut off of crane movement


Note
u If the LICCON overload protection turns the crane movement off, then the exact cause for the shut
off must be determined first.
u As a first step, try to rescind the crane movement which has caused a shut off.
u If it is not possible to rescind the affected crane movement, then the additional steps are described
in the respective sections.

Note
u For detailed description of the individually listed icons, see Crane operating instructions, chapter
4.02.

The LICCON overload protection carries out the following shut offs if a limit value is exceeded in crane
operation:
– Shut off Luffing the telescopic boom up / down
– Shut off Luffing the attachment up / down
– Shut off Spooling the winch up / out
– Shut off hoist top
– Shut off Telescoping the telescopic boom out (limit length)
– Shut off Telescoping the telescopic boom in (limit length)
– Shut off Crane movement with danger of tipping to the rear*
– Shut off Luffing cylinder (pressure too high)
– Shut off due to error message

2.3.1 Shut off Luffing the telescopic boom up / down

Fig.110877
In icon 13 or icon 14 (lower field) arrow 13.1 or arrow 13.2 blink and the LICCON overload protection
has shut off the crane movement.
„Luffing the telescopic boom up“ (arrow 13.1) or „Luffing the telescopic boom down“ (arrow 13.2) was
shut off because the upper / lower limit angle of the selected load chart was exceeded or fallen below.
If the double arrow 13.3 appears blinking in the icon 13 or icon 14 (lower field), then the telescopic
boom was luffed up to just before the block position of the luffing cylinder. The shut off „Boom steep“
has shut the crane movement „Luffing the telescopic boom up“ off.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

The arrow 13.1 blinks and the crane movement „luffing the telescopic boom up“ was turned off:
u Luff the telescopic boom down.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

The arrow 13.2 blinks and the crane movement „luffing the telescopic boom down“ was turned off:
u Luff the telescopic boom up.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

The double arrow 13.3 blinks and the crane movement „luffing the telescopic boom up“ was turned off:

copyright by
LTM 1400-7-1-007 741
028383-02 4.20 Procedure for shut off of crane movements

u Luff the telescopic boom down.


Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

2.3.2 Shut off Luffing the attachment up / down

Fig.111235
In the icon 14 (upper field) the double arrow 14.1 or double arrow 14.2 blink and the LICCON overload
protection has shut off the crane movement.
„Luffing the attachment up“ (double arrow 14.1) or „Luffing the attachment down“ (double arrow 14.2)
was shut off because the upper / lower limit angle of the selected load chart was exceeded or fallen
below.
The double arrow 14.1 blinks and the crane movement „luffing the attachment up“ was turned off:
u Luff the attachment down.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

The double arrow 14.2 blinks and the crane movement „luffing the attachment down“ was turned off:
u Luff the attachment up.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

2.3.3 Shut off spooling the winch up / out

Fig.110878
In the icon 18, the line / arrow 18.1, arrow / line 18.2 or line / arrow 18.3 blink and the LICCON over-
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

load protection has shut off the crane movement.


„Spooling the winch out“ (line / arrow 18.1) or „spooling the winch up“ (arrow / line 18.2) was shut off
because the upper / lower limit angle of the rope for the selected winch was exceeded or fallen below.
If line / line 18.3 appears blinking in the icon 18, then the affected winch is deactivated.
The line / arrow 18.1 blinks and the crane movement „spooling the winch out“ was turned off:
u Spool the winch up.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

The line / arrow 18.2 blinks and the crane movement „spooling the winch up“ was turned off:

copyright by
742 LTM 1400-7-1-007
4.20 Procedure for shut off of crane movements 028383-02

u Spool the winch out.


Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

Line / line 18.3 blinks and the winch is deactivated:


u Activate the winch, see Crane operating instructions, chapter 4.02.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

2.3.4 Shut off hoist top

Fig.110875
The icon 19 and Hoist top icon 20 appear in the LICCON monitor and the LICCON overload protection
has turned off crane movement.
Spooling the hoist winch up was turned off because the hook block or the load hook has run against a
hoist limit weight during the upward movement and the affected hoist limit switch was triggered.

Note
u After shut off of spooling the hoist winch up (hoist top), the crane movements „telescoping the
boom out“, „luffing the boom down“, „luffing the attachment down“ and possibly additional move-
ments which have an effect on the length of the hoist rope are also shut off. This should minimize
the risk that the crane can be damaged due to erroneous operation.

u Spool the hoist winch out.


Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

2.3.5 Shut off Telescoping the telescopic boom out (limit length)

3.3 Shut off of crane movement


Note
u If the LICCON overload protection turns the crane movement off, then the exact cause for the shut
off must be determined first.
u As a first step, try to rescind the crane movement which has caused a shut off.
u If it is not possible to rescind the affected crane movement, then the additional steps are described
in the respective sections.

Note
u For detailed description of the individually listed icons, see Crane operating instructions, chapter
4.02.

The LICCON overload protection carries out the following shut offs if a limit value is exceeded in crane
operation:
– Shut off Luffing the telescopic boom up / down
– Shut off Luffing the attachment up / down
– Shut off spooling the winch up / out
– Shut off hoist top
– Shut off Telescoping the telescopic boom out (limit length)
– Shut off Telescoping the telescopic boom in (limit length)
– Shut off Crane movement with danger of tipping to the rear*
– Shut off Luffing cylinder (pressure too high)
– Shut off due to error message

3.3.1 Shut off Luffing the telescopic boom up / down

Fig.110877
In icon 13 or icon 14 (lower field) arrow 13.1 or arrow 13.2 blink and the LICCON overload protection
has shut off the crane movement.
„Luffing the telescopic boom up“ (arrow 13.1) or „Luffing the telescopic boom down“ (arrow 13.2) was
shut off because the upper / lower limit angle of the selected load chart was exceeded or fallen below.
If the double arrow 13.3 appears blinking in the icon 13 or icon 14 (lower field), then the telescopic
boom was luffed up to just before the block position of the luffing cylinder. The shut off „Boom steep“
has shut the crane movement „Luffing the telescopic boom up“ off.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

The arrow 13.1 blinks and the crane movement „luffing the telescopic boom up“ was turned off:
u Luff the telescopic boom down.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

The arrow 13.2 blinks and the crane movement „luffing the telescopic boom down“ was turned off:
u Luff the telescopic boom up.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

The double arrow 13.3 blinks and the crane movement „luffing the telescopic boom up“ was turned off:

copyright by
LTM 1400-7-1-007 779
028383-02 4.20 Procedure for shut off of crane movements

u Luff the telescopic boom down.


Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

3.3.2 Shut off Luffing the attachment up / down

Fig.111235
In the icon 14 (upper field) the double arrow 14.1 or double arrow 14.2 blink and the LICCON overload
protection has shut off the crane movement.
„Luffing the attachment up“ (double arrow 14.1) or „Luffing the attachment down“ (double arrow 14.2)
was shut off because the upper / lower limit angle of the selected load chart was exceeded or fallen
below.
The double arrow 14.1 blinks and the crane movement „luffing the attachment up“ was turned off:
u Luff the attachment down.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

The double arrow 14.2 blinks and the crane movement „luffing the attachment down“ was turned off:
u Luff the attachment up.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

3.3.3 Shut off spooling the winch up / out

Fig.110878
In the icon 18, the line / arrow 18.1, arrow / line 18.2 or line / arrow 18.3 blink and the LICCON over-
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

load protection has shut off the crane movement.


„Spooling the winch out“ (line / arrow 18.1) or „spooling the winch up“ (arrow / line 18.2) was shut off
because the upper / lower limit angle of the rope for the selected winch was exceeded or fallen below.
If line / line 18.3 appears blinking in the icon 18, then the affected winch is deactivated.
The line / arrow 18.1 blinks and the crane movement „spooling the winch out“ was turned off:
u Spool the winch up.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

The line / arrow 18.2 blinks and the crane movement „spooling the winch up“ was turned off:

copyright by
780 LTM 1400-7-1-007
4.20 Procedure for shut off of crane movements 028383-02

u Spool the winch out.


Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

Line / line 18.3 blinks and the winch is deactivated:


u Activate the winch, see Crane operating instructions, chapter 4.02.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

3.3.4 Shut off hoist top

Fig.110875
The icon 19 and Hoist top icon 20 appear in the LICCON monitor and the LICCON overload protection
has turned off crane movement.
Spooling the hoist winch up was turned off because the hook block or the load hook has run against a
hoist limit weight during the upward movement and the affected hoist limit switch was triggered.

Note
u After shut off of spooling the hoist winch up (hoist top), the crane movements „telescoping the
boom out“, „luffing the boom down“, „luffing the attachment down“ and possibly additional move-
ments which have an effect on the length of the hoist rope are also shut off. This should minimize
the risk that the crane can be damaged due to erroneous operation.

u Spool the hoist winch out.


Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

3.3.5 Shut off Telescoping the telescopic boom out (limit length)
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Fig.110880
In the „horn“ icon, illustration 1 appears an error message, an acoustic signal sounds, the LICCON
overload protection has interrupted the crane movement „Telescoping the telescopic boom out“ and,
depending on crane type, the double arrow in the icon 23 additionally blinks.

overload protection has interrupted the crane movement „Telescoping the telescopic boom in“ and,
depending on crane type, the double arrow in the icon 23 additionally blinks.
The crane movement „Telescoping the telescopic boom in“ was shut off because the limit length of
the selected load chart has been fallen below.
u Telescope the telescopic boom out.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

3.3.7 Shut off Crane movement with danger of tipping to the rear

Note
u Applies only for cranes with support force monitoring*.

WARNING
Danger of tipping over!
When reaching the programmed minimum / maximum support force limits there is no automatic shut
off of crane movements!
Exception: When the two supports with the lowest forces are in boom direction, then some crane mo-
vements which increase the „danger of tipping to the rear“ significantly are turned off!
u If there is a „danger of tipping to the rear“, luff the boom down carefully until the support limit forces
are again within the minimum / maximum values!

LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Fig.110881
Icon 24 (depending on the crane similar as on the left or right illustration) is shown in the LICCON mo-
nitor with blinking values in both fields 24.1 of the supports with the lowest forces, an acoustic signal
sounds and the LICCON overload protection has turned off the crane movement.
Crane movements which increase the „danger of tipping to the rear“ significantly were turned off.
u Luff the boom down carefully until the support limit forces are again within the minimum / maximum
values and no value in the fields 24.1 blinks any longer.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

3.3.8 Shut off Luffing cylinder (pressure too high)

Note
u Applies only for certain crane types with respective display in the second LICCON monitor.

Fig.110896
In the icon 25(luffing cylinder pressure) the utilization bar 25.1 reaches the 100% mark and the LIC-
CON overload protection has shut off the crane movement.
All further movements, which directly lead to an increase of the luffing cylinder pressure are shut off.
u Lower the luffing cylinder pressure by lowering the load.
or
Initiate an alternative crane movement, which lowers the luffing cylinder pressure.
Result:
– Crane operation is possible again.

In assembly operation:
Make sure that the specifications in the erection / take down charts are observed.
u Lower the luffing cylinder pressure by reducing the load, for example by getting support from an
auxiliary crane.

3.3.9 Shut off due to error message

Fig.110990
An error message appears in the „horn“ icon, illustration 1, the icon 19 appears in the LICCON monitor
and the LICCON overload protection has turned the crane movement off.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

WARNING
Limited warning functions
If there is a defect on a participating sensor (LML) and the crane is continued to be operated by by-
passing the sensor other otherwise, then the warning functions and the shut offs of the LICCON over-
load protection are deactivated!
u If there is a defect on a participating sensor (LML), then the crane may not be operated further!
u Fix / replace the sensor before starting crane operation again!

3.4.1 Luffing in with suspended load


If the maximum permissible load moment is exceeded, the LICCON overload protection turns off all
crane movements that increase the load moment.
In the icon 22 (load moment display) the utilization bar 22.1 has exceeded the 100 % mark and in the
LICCON monitor appears the icon 19
This shut off limit can be exceeded by actuating the button 5 „luffing in with suspended load“.
Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
– The crane engine is running.
– The standby mode on the LICCON monitor is not active.
– Either the seat contact button 29 or one of the buttons 1 of the master switches are actuated.

Note
u If the load is reduced by luffing up, then the button 5 „luffing in with suspended load“ is not functio-
ning.
u For the procedure when the button 5 „luffing in with suspended load“ is not functioning, see section
„Exceedance of maximum permissible load moment“.

u Press the function key 5 „luffing in with suspended load“ and hold it.
Result:
– The LICCON overload protection is inactive.

u Luff the load in.


Result:
– If the crane reaches a normal operation status (utilization below 100 % and no active shut off) then
the icon 19 turns off, normal crane operation is possible again.

The function „luffing in with suspended load“ is also deactivated:


– When the function key 5 „luffing in with suspended load“ is not longer actuated
– When either the seat contact button 29 nor one of the buttons 1 of the master switches are actu-
ated
– If the standby mode on the LICCON monitor is active
– At engine stop
The function „luffing in with suspended load“ is deactivated:
– The LICCON overload protection is active.
u Carry out crane movements in such a way that no repeated shut off by the LICCON overload pro-
tection occurs.

3.4.2 Exceedance of the maximum permissible load moment


If the maximum permissible load moment is exceeded, the LICCON overload protection turns off all
crane movements that increase the load moment.
In the icon 22 (load moment display) the utilization bar 22.1 has exceeded the 100 % mark and in the
LICCON monitor appears the icon 19.
This shut off can be exceeded by the configuration button D in the „right touching“ position.

Note
u In emergency situations, the function „Exceedance of shut off limits of the LICCON overload pro-
tection“ can be activated with the set up key D and the maximum permissible load moment of 100
% can be exceeded.

erecting the boom.

Note
u Inspection and maintenance of guy rods, see Crane operating instructions, chapter 8.15.
u In reference to the guy rods, observe section „Erection / take down“.

11 Auxiliary guying
The auxiliary guying is of significant importance for safe crane operation.
The auxiliary guying is a deciding factor in relieving the boom, or the boom system during erection and
take down as well as during crane operation.

WARNING
The crane can topple over!
If the auxiliary guying is not installed or not installed on the position specified in the rod plan, then the
crane can collapse, the boom can break off or the crane can topple over.
u If an auxiliary guying is specified in the rod plan for the required boom length, then it must be instal-
led on the respective position.
u Make sure that the auxiliary guying is always completely installed and that all pins are properly pin-
ned and secured.

DANGER
Increased danger of accident due to bypass of the overload protection!
As section 4.2.6.3.2 of EN 13000 does not put the requirements of appendix 1 of the EC machinery
directive 89/37/EC into concrete terms, the overload protection has not been designed according to
this definition.
Proper and destined use of the crane is ensured due to the construction of the overload protection
system and observance of the information in the Crane operating instructions. All sensibly fore-
seeable erroneous operations of the crane have been taken into consideration.
Impermissible crane operation with bypassed overload protection – with the aim of increasing the ma-
ximum load capacity of the crane above the rated value in the load chart or to extend the designated
working range of the crane – does not constitute a sensibly foreseeable erroneous operation, ra-
ther a deliberate improper use with high risk of accident.
The possible risks and consequences of such deliberate improper use are detailed in the Crane ope-
rating instructions.
Such deliberate improper use can neither be prevented by means of the structural design nor by
means of information in the Crane operating instructions
u Bypass the overload protection only according to the Crane operating instructions.
u Exceed the shut off limits of the overload protection only according to the Crane operating instructi-
ons.
u Any other use of the crane with bypassed overload protection than that described in the Crane ope-
rating instructions is prohibited.

12.1 Bypassing the overload protection


If the maximum permissible load moment is exceeded, the overload protection turns all load moment
increasing crane movements off.
This shut off can be bypassed or exceeded various ways by:
– exceeding the shut off limits (utilization more than 100 % or leaving the load chart).
– activating an assembly operation.
– activating an emergency operation.
The displays of the LICCON overload protection remain functioning when all associated sensors and
limit switches are active and a load chart is available.

WARNING
Increased danger of accident due to bypass of the overload protection!
If overload protection is bypassed, there is no further protection against overloading the crane.
In the event of deliberate improper use, the crane could collapse, the boom can break off or the crane
can topple over.
Personnel can be killed.
This could result in high property damage.
u It is only permitted to bypass the overload protection for assembly or in emergencies.
u The bypass of the overload protection may only be carried out by persons who are aware of the
effects of their acts.
u Bypassing the overload protection requires the presence of a person authorized by the crane ope-
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

rator and must be performed with utmost caution.


u It is strictly prohibited to operate the crane when the overload protection is bypassed.

12.1.1 Bypassing the LICCON overload protection

Note
u Applies only for cranes with LICCON overload protection.

Depending on the crane version, one or more operating elements are available to bypass the overload
protection:
– Button in the control console.
– Key button on the LICCON monitor.
– Key button in the instrument panel.

copyright by
814 LTM 1400-7-1-007
5.01 Safety technical notes for assembly and disassembly 028896-15

– Key button in the switch cabinet.


– Sensor for transponder on the crane cab.
u Actuate the respective operating element.
Result:
– The LICCON overload protection is bypassed / inactive.
– The „Assembly“ icon appears on the LICCON monitor.
– Depending on the circumstances, acoustical and / or optical warning signals (blinkers, flashing
lights, bells and horns).

If the LICCON overload protection is to be reactivated:


u No longer actuate the respective operating element or reset.
Result:
– The LICCON overload protection is active.
– The „Assembly“ icon no longer appears on the LICCON monitor.
– The acoustical and / or optical warning signals which were triggered by the bypass are turned off
again.

12.1.2 Bypassing the PAT overload protection

Note
u Applies only for cranes with PAT overload protection.

u Actuate the bypass key button and turn the PAT overload protection off.
Result:
– The PAT overload protection is bypassed / inactive.

u Actuate the bypass key button and turn the PAT overload protection on.
Result:
– The PAT overload protection is active.

13 Bypassing the hoist top shut off


Note
u Applies only for cranes with hoist limit switch.

If the hook block contacts the hoist limit switch weight during its upward movement, the hoist limit
switch is triggered. The crane movements „Spool up winches“, „Luff boom down“ and „Telescope tele-
scopic boom out“ are turned off. The shut off can be bypassed.

WARNING
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Danger of accidents due to bypass of Hoist top shut off!


When bypassing the hoist top shut off, there is a risk that the hook block may be pulled against the
pulley head when continuing to lift or luffing down the boom. This may damage the pulleys and cause
the loads to fall.
u The bypass of the hoist top shut off in crane operation with a load may only be carried out by a
person authorized by the crane operator with the aid of a „Guide“. The guide must be in direct con-
tact with the crane operator and must continually monitor the distance between the hook block and
the boom head.
u Carry out all crane movements with maximum care and minimum speed.

15.3 Rigging the guy rods on lattice booms on placed down boom sys-
tem
WARNING
Danger of fatal injury due to damaged guy rods!
If the boom system is placed on the ground or a load bearing support in strong wind or longer down-
time, the guy rods can be damaged due to wind influence on the boom guying. This wind influenced
oscillations can lead to fatigue on the guy rods.
As a result, the guy rods could break or rip off under load - for example when erecting the boom sys-
tem or in crane operation. The boom system can therefore fall uncontrolled forward onto the ground.
Personnel can be severely injured or killed.
u Make sure that the guy rods are placed completely on the lattice sections and relieved when the
boom systems are placed on the ground.
u Make sure that freely suspended guy rods are rigged on the lattice boom.
u Make sure that the upper pulley block is rigged on the lattice boom in Derrick operating modes.
u Make sure, that the guying on the luffing lattice jib is removed on lattice mast cranes.
u Make sure that the guy rods are inspected before resuming crane operation and that no damage or
cracks are present.
u Make sure that the maintenance intervals of the guy rods are adhered to.

Note
u In case of strong wind or longer downtimes of the crane, the boom system must be placed on the
ground or on a load bearing support.
u The guying must be relieved and the guy rods must be placed on the transport receptacles.
u The following illustrations are examples and may not match your crane exactly.

Fig.120722: Guying placed in transport receptacle and SA-frame guying relieved


u Place the guy rods on the lattice sections 1: Luff the SA-frame 2 to the front until the guying is
placed completely in the transport receptacles on the lattice sections and the SA-frame guying 3 is
relieved, see illustration 1.
u To minimize side oscillation of the SA-frame guying 3 due to wind influence: Rig the SA-frame
guying 3 with suitable rigging straps / ropes 7 against the boom, see illustration 1.

1 General
With these TY guying, the TY frames can be assembled using the crane. In this, the TY frames are
pinned by telescoping in with the telescopic boom.

Note
Important description about TY guying
u Both TY frames are assembled as 2 independent assembly units on the articulated piece of
the telescopic boom.
u The TY guying can only be guyed at a TY frame angle of 38 ° in order to be effective for the
purpose of increasing the load. This is the only possible TY frame angle, and is the same for
all configurations.

DANGER
Danger of falling!
During assembly and disassembly, personnel must be secured with appropriate antifall guards to pre-
vent them from falling. If this is not observed, the assembly personnel could be fatally injured.
u All assembly work must be carried out using suitable aids (ladders, lifting platforms, scaffolding, au-
xiliary crane, etc.)!
u If work cannot be carried out using these aids or from the ground, the assembly personnel must be
protected from falling using suitable means (such as safety belts)!

2.11 Guying TY frames

2.11.1 General
This TY guying is removed. This means that for defined telescoping angles and hook block weights,
no specific force (pressure in the guying cylinder 50) is to be applied, in order to achieve the optimum
pre-tension in the stay ropes 53. The optimal pre-tension will be entered into the system automatically,
from the position of the rope clamps 52 on the stay ropes 53. The biggest advantage of the system is
that the rope clamps 52 lie equally both left and right. Thereby a boom that is not straight (for example
as the result of sunshine on only one side) is pulled in a straight line when being guyed or loaded. This
makes the boom more stable, and the loads higher.

Note
Specifications for guying and slackening in TY operations
u The TY guying can only be guyed at a TY frame angle of 38 ° in order to be effective for the
purpose of increasing the load. Guying is not possible at any other angle.
u The telescopic boom can be guyed and slackened at any chosen angle within the permitted projec-
tion ranges given in the TY load charts.
u Guying and slackening will change the projection radius!
u At a telescopic boom length of 15.4 m , 20.5 m and 25.7 m is the guying of TY frames not possible,
since for this telescopic boom lengths are no rope clamps 52 available. The loads for these boom
lengths specified in the load charts will be reached without TY guying.

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met:


– the LMB records a release of guying
– the seat contact switch is activated
– the TY frames are folded out to 38 °
– TY frames are fully raised
– the master switches are not moved during the guying procedure
– the telescopic boom is pinned
– guying frames A and B are both selected
the icon 23 will be displayed on the monitor

1 General
Winch3* 3 is used as a needle adjusting winch or as auxiliary lifting gear during crane operation. It can
be attached by self-assembly, using the crane's own boom, or to the counterweight frame, 2 „rear“ or
„up“.
The counterweight package is laid on the chassis (see Chapter 4.07 „Counterweight“)
The option of attaching winch3* 3 to the counterweight frame, 2 „up“ enables the crane operator,
when rotating the superstructure on narrow sites, to maintain a „small“ swivelling radius or ballast ra-
dius of 5.6 m.

DANGER
Risk of accident from overloading the crane.
If winch3 3 is not mounted in the prescribed location, the crane will become overloaded without this
becoming evident. This could result in serious accidents
u Winch3 3 must be mounted on the crane, as indicated in the operation type symbol.

2 Assembling winch3* with adjusting cylinder


The assembly of winch3* 3 and the adjusting cylinder is carried out as a „winch unit“.
The adjusting cylinder consists of the bottom hook block 4 and the upper block 5.

DANGER
Risk of accident from falling equipment.
u When carrying out assembly and dismantling work on winch3* 3, use the platform on the counter-
weight frame 2.
u Also use a safe assembly stand for crane assembly and dismantling work.
u No improvisations are allowed.

2 Hook block overview


2.1 Handling of hook blocks
Note
u For the load hooks and hook blocks approved for this crane type refer to the separate load chart
manual!
u The hook blocks shown in this chapter are only examples and can differ from your hook block in
type and number of rope pulleys. The different assembly and disassembly procedures are there-
fore only an example of the description for a number of different hook blocks!

DANGER
Hook block weights!
If the data in the erection and take down charts as well as the load charts are not observed, danger-
ous situations up to toppling of the crane can occur!
Personnel can be severely injured or killed, in addition, high property damage can result!
u Observe the data in the erection and take down charts!
u The specifications in the load charts must be adhered to!
u The crane operator bears the sole and full responsibility for the adherence to the data in the erec-
tion and take down charts as well as the load charts!

Differently sized hook blocks can be used for various loads.

NOTICE
Rope damage due to insufficient hook block weight!
If the hook block weight is too low to tighten the hoist rope sufficiently, spooling problems may occur
on the winches when lowering and lifting the hook block due to slack rope formation!
The hoist rope can be damaged!
u In order to prevent spooling problems on the winches, the hook block weight may be increased with
auxiliary weights, if necessary!
u If problems develop in the assembly and set up conditions due to the weight increase of the hook
block, auxiliary weights must be removed again!

1 Boom nose N-end section


1.1 General
The crane operation with boom nose 1 is designed for quick lifts: The hook block can hereby remain
reeved to the N-end section.
Operating mode TN (luffing lattice jib) with boom nose 1 (illustration 1)
Operating mode TF (fixed lattice jib) with boom nose 1 (illustration 2)

Note
u No special load charts have been programmed for boom nose operation. The respective pro-
grammed load charts apply. The loads reduce by the weight of the boom nose 1 (approx. 550 kg),
the lifting equipment and the fastening equipment in use.

DANGER
Danger of accident due to overloading the crane!
If the limit of the maximum permissible load of 49t is exceeded at the boom nose 1 in boom nose
operation, then the crane can be overloaded or topple over.
u Obtain accurate information about the weight of the load to be lifted.
u For safety reasons, make sure to adhere to the limit of the maximum load on the boom nose 1.
u Exceeding the maximum load of 49t on the boom nose 1 is explicitly prohibited.

Note
u The loads that are displayed in the LMB are greater than the actual loads on the hook during boom
nose operation. The reason for this is that the geometry and own weight of the boom nose 1 can-
not be taken into consideration in the LMB.

DANGER
Danger of accident due to toppling or destruction of the crane!
A hoist limit switch which is not connected or not functioning (-S961) in boom nose operation can
cause the crane to topple or cause the crane to be damaged.
u Connect the hoist limit switch (-S961) properly before operating the boom nose 1.
u Check the function of the hoist limit switch before operating the boom nose 1.

DANGER
Danger of accident!
u Only restricted boom nose operation is possible in TN and TYSN operating modes. The utilization
according to the LMB display (dynamic utilization bar display, see chapter 4.02 „LICCON computer
system“) may be max. 90 %.

1 General
The hook block weight is the weight that is required to lift the maximum load using the respective
boom combination.

DANGER
Risk of accident if crane is overloaded or topples over.
u Do not reeve a larger hook block that the one that is required to lift the maximum load specified in
the load chart.

2 Set-up and take-down chart for T operation


The telescopic boom T-15.4 (0/0/0/0) can be erected up to the specified angles. If the telescopic boom
is raised any further the LICCON switches the lifting movement off. These restrictoions are requried
because of the risk of the crane tilting backwards.

1.4 Operating the air conditioning system*


The climate control system is a combination of heater and ventilation system as well as an air conditio-
ning system, which is used to dehumidify and cool the air in the driver's cab.
Please note:
– In air conditioning operation, the humidity in the driver's cab is decreased. This prevents the wind-
ows from fogging up.
– In case of high outside humidity and high outside temperatures, the condensation can drip from the
evaporator of the air conditioning system and form a puddle under the mobile crane. This is normal
and no sign of leaks.

WARNING
Injuries to persons and property damage!
If the climate control system is turned off and in air circulation operation, the windows can fog up!
u If the windows are fogged up, proceed according to section „Procedure in case of fogged up wind-
ows“!
u Do not expose personnel to low interior temperatures!
u Repair work on the climate control system and maintenance work on the cooling circuit must be
carried out solely by a Service technician from Liebherr-Werk Ehingen!

Note
u In order not to compromise the heater or cooling output and to prevent the windows from fogging
up, the air intake must be clear of ice, snow and contaminants.
u The climate control system works best if the windows and doors are closed. However, if the driver's
cab is heated up too much when the mobile crane is at a standstill, due to sun rays, then the cool
off procedure can be accelerated by opening the windows or doors for a short time.
u Do not cover up the air circulation intake with clothing or other objects!

The maximum cooling output is reached when:


– All air vents are open.
– The air supply is exclusively switched to air circulation.
– The air distribution is exclusively set on the window.
– The fan speed is set to maximum power.
– The temperature stage is set to zero.

6.04 Support beam monitoring / sliding beam monitoring 025696-02

1 General
The LICCON sliding beam monitoring checks the information entered by the crane driver with regard
to the support basis when selecting the load chart on the LICCON monitor.

Note
u The sliding beam monitoring does not monitor the correct support of the crane and the pinning of
the sliding beams at the positions for which they have been constructed.
u The sliding beams must be pinned and secured on the pin points.

2 Support base
This crane can be operated on 2 different support bases. The length of the support bases is unchan-
geable at 10 m and results from the vehicle length. The width of the support bases can be set accor-
ding to the load chart for „wide“ or „reduced“ configurations:

Support base
Wide 9.5 m
Reduced 6.23 m

2.1 Setting the support bases


The support bases have no tolerances. The sliding beams must be pinned onto these support bases.

WARNING
The crane can topple over!
If the following conditions are not met, the crane can topple over and cause fatal injuries!
This could result in high property damage!
u All sliding beams must be pinned to preclude any subsequent movement of the support surfaces!
u All retaining pins must be inserted and locked!
u Only the support bases specified in the load chart may be used!
u Intermediate positions are prohibited!

u Pin and secure the sliding beams.

3 Working with sliding beam monitoring


3.1 Preparing the crane
u Extend the sliding beams to the required width.
u Pin and secure the sliding beams.
u Support the crane.
u Enter and confirm the load chart on the LICCON monitor.
If the selected load chart corresponds with the support base detected by the sliding beam monitoring:
u Press function key F8.
Result:
– The display on the LICCON monitor changes to the operating illustration and the crane is ready for
use.

3.2 Sliding beam monitoring function and error display

3.2.1 When entering the load chart


See separate error list and „diagnostics“.
u Confirm the entered configuration status with function key F8 8.
For example, if the error determination display indicates a sliding beam length error:
u Extend the sliding beams in accordance with the load chart preselected.

3.2.2 In the crane operation


If a valid load chart has been used, the crane may be operated while observing the relevant guidelines
provided in the operating instructions and the load charts.

Sliding beam length monitoring


The position of the sliding beams is continually monitored during crane operation and compared with
the selected load chart. An error code (illustration 1) will be displayed in the „Horn“ icon if any differen-
ces are detected, (see Crane operating instructions, chapter 4.02):
– The LICCON overload protection goes to overload.
– It is only possible to work using the bridging options of the LICCON overload protection.
– The slewing gear will be switched to non-operative.

Support force monitoring


In addition to the sliding beam lengths, the support forces are also monitored during sliding beam mo-
nitoring. The system continually checks whether the total support force exceed the minimum crane
weight excluding equipment.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

If this is not the case, an error code will be displayed (illustration 2) (see Crane operating instructions,
chapter 4.02):
– The LICCON overload protection goes to overload.
– It is only possible to work using the bridging options of the LICCON overload protection.
– The slewing gear will be switched to non-operative.

Note
u The slewing gear does not shut down during slewing.

The support forces have no effect on the setting of the load chart in the configuration program.

6.04 Support beam monitoring / sliding beam monitoring 025696-02

3.3 Procedure to follow in case of an error


It is imperative to distinguish between the following errors:
– Operating errors
– Sensor fault
– Total sensor failure
Error description:
– Operating errors are caused by the crane driver.
– Sensor faults are present, if, for example, a signal lies within a permissible measuring range but
the signal is incorrect. A sensor fault can however also be caused by (for example) an incorrect
length entry if the length sensor rope of the sliding beam has become tangled in the sliding beam
box. Disconnecting the sensor input will simulate the „sliding beam retracted“ condition. The crane
can or may not be operated in this condition.
– A total sensor failure will be detected by the sliding beam monitoring. The sliding beam monito-
ring considers a total sensor failure to be equivalent to the sliding beam „retracted“ condition. The
crane can or may not be operated in this condition.

Note
u As a rule, the sliding beams must be pinned and secured on the pin points.

4 Bypassing the sliding beam length monitoring


4.1 General
Note
u The sliding beam length monitoring can only be bypassed when an exclamation mark „!“ 4.10 ap-
pears in the horn icon.

Make sure that the following prerequisite is met:


– An exclamation mark „!“ 4.10 appears in the horn icon.

WARNING
Increased accident risk when bypassing sliding beam length monitoring!
The sliding beam position is no longer monitored when the sliding beam length monitoring is bypas-
sed. An inadequate support base may cause the crane to topple and cause fatal injury.
u The sliding beam length monitoring should only be bypassed by personnel who are aware of the
consequences!

1 Emergency operation
To be able to take down the crane in case of failure of the crane hydraulic, the crane electrical system
or the crane engine, ball valves and a hand lever 13 are installed on the superstructure. Via the ball
valves, the corresponding crane movement can be preselected and carried out by deflecting the hand
lever 13.

1.1 General
DANGER
Increased danger of accident during emergency operation!
The crane movements are no longer monitored by LICCON in emergency operation.
u Emergency operation and particularly luffing down of the telescopic boom may only be carried out
in accordance with the information in the load chart.
u If possible, set down the load first.

– For normal „crane operation“, turn the ball valves downward.


– For „emergency operations“, turn the respective ball valves (see following section and emergency
operation sign on the crane superstructure) upward.
– Several movements cannot be carried out at the same time.

4 Oil and lubricant analysis


NOTICE
Oil analysis intervals and oil change intervals not adhered to!
Gear damage.
u Strictly adhere to the oil analysis and oil change intervals.
u If an earlier oil change is required due to oil analysis results: Change the oil.
u Carry out regular lubricant analysis for gear oils in travel gear, slewing gear and winch gears.
u Adhere to the maintenance intervals. See Crane operating instructions, chapter 7.02, 7.03 and
chapter 7.03.50.

The following properties of the oil can be determined through oil analysis:
– Degree of wear of gear components
– Composition of mechanical abrasion in the oil
– Viscosity of the oil
– Degree of oil contamination
– Other relevant properties of the oil
Advantages of oil or lubricant analysis:
– Technical evaluation regarding further use of the gear or the oil
– The gear oil change intervals can be matched according to the operating conditions and the results
of the oil analysis, without risk, effectively and economically.
– A just starting gear damage can be recognized in time and as a result, the correct time of gear re-
placement can be determined.
– Operating times or repairs can be planned more effectively.
– Am earlier repair of gear components protects from larger and unforeseen damage.
– Subsequent damage can therefore be avoided to the greatest possible extent.

4.1 Taking an oil sample


WARNING
Tasks on components and operating fluids at operating temperature!
Burns.
u Carry out all tasks with utmost caution.
u Wear protective clothing.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:


– Gear was shut down immediately
– Oil has normal operating temperature
u Always take oil on the same location of the gear.
u Take oil always according to the same method.
u For gears with double slipring seal: Take oil additionally from the slipring sealing chamber.
u Do not take oil right after an oil change.
u Do not take oil immediately after larger amounts of oil have been added.

Note
Recommendation:
u Fill oil into original sample containers.

copyright by
1256 LTM 1400-7-1-007
7.01 Maintenance and service - General 029710-04

u Fill oil exclusively in a clean and dry sample container.

5 Cleaning
5.1 Exhaust system
NOTICE
Infiltration of water into the exhaust system on engines with exhaust aftertreatment SCR!
Sensors for exhaust aftertreatment can be destroyed, the coating of the SCR catalytic converter can
be washed off.
u Make sure that no water gets into the exhaust.
u During cleaning, keep sufficient distance to the exhaust.

5.2 Insulation (sound insulation)


NOTICE
Improper cleaning (tools or cleaning methods)!
Insulation can be destroyed or damaged.
u Remove severe contamination with suitable tools, for example with soft plastic scrapers.
u Do not use tools with sharp edges.
u Use steam cleaners exclusively with extreme caution and with a sufficient distance to the insula-
tion and with low water pressure.
u Do not use solvents for cleaning.

Note
u Sound insulation may not be removed!

Sound insulation in the area of engines and other noise sources is an integral part of the total const-
ruction. Sound insulation limits the noise generation of vehicles and the sound level in the workplace
to the legally specified values in connection with sound insulation and the design of the equipment.
Sound insulation is therefore an integral part for the construction permits for the machines.
From a construction point of view, sound insulation has been designed to be maintenance-free. Sound
insulation has been equipped with surfaces that repel dirt, oil and water. Sound insulation is very
flame-resistant and in part, depending on application, is fireproof.
For these reasons, sound insulation requires no care. Any small dirt deposits can be disregarded, as
the acoustic effectiveness of the parts is not reduced.

5.3 Slip-resistant mats


u Before every access: Check the slip-resistant mats for slip resistance and cleanliness.
u If dirty: Clean the slip-resistant mats with a brush with hard plastic bristles.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

u For cleaning the surfaces, use commercially available cleaners.


u Flush with water.

5.4 Driverʼs cab and crane cab


Note
u The steering wheel, centre console, instrument panel cover, floor covering and dirty upholstery in
the driverʼs cab and the crane cab should only be cleaned with warm water mixed with dishwashing
detergent!
u Do not use any scouring agents!

ling
NOTICE
Danger of damaging the transmission!
u Maintain utmost cleanliness during all work to prevent any dirt from entering the inside of the gear.
u Check the transmission for leaks at regular intervals.
u Have leaking transmission sealed immediately and professionally.

2.1 Checking the oil level on the automatic transmission

4.2 Diaphragm reservoirs of axle suspension / axle locking system


Diaphragm reservoirs have been installed in the hydraulic system. The pretension pressures are spe-
cified in the hydraulic circuit diagram as well as on the individual diaphragm reservoirs. The pretension
pressure must be measured separately in each diaphragm reservoir.

NOTICE
Risk of travel gear damage!
If the outside temperature fluctuates considerably, e.g. after transport to extremely hot or cold count-
ries or in countries with considerable differences between the summer and winter temperatures, the
gas accumulator pressures may change. Inadequate gas pretension may cause the reservoir diaph-
ragms to be overstressed. If the pretension is too high, the spring action in the axle suspension if no
longer guaranteed.
u Check the gas accumulator pressures and correct if necessary.

Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:


– The axle suspension / axle blocking system is in the suspended position.
– The function control on button 130 does not light up.
u Lower the vehicle down as far as possible using button 119, button 120, button 135, button 136
and enter 143 until the oil has drained from the diaphragm reservoirs.

DANGER
Danger of explosion!
The pressure in the nitrogen cylinder must be less than the maximum permitted operating pressure of
the reservoir or the pressure gauge. Otherwise install a pressure reducer between the cylinder and the
filling device.
u Do not use air or oxygen to fill the diaphragm reservoir!

The pretension pressure in the hydraulic reservoirs may only be checked by an expert with appro-
priate training and equipment. In addition, the national regulations for pressurized container inspecti-
ons must also be observed.
u Check the pretension pressure with a testing and filling device and correct, if necessary.
u Press level button 129 and ENTER 143 until the function control on the level button 129 blinks.
Result:
– The vehicle is at the level setting (level for on-road driving).

1.5.2 Carrying out the bleeding procedure

Note
u Do not operate the engine regulation during the bleeding procedure!

Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:


– The bleeding function is activated.
– The operating error message is displayed on the LICCON monitor.
Pump the manual feed pump 4 to operate it during the entire engine start procedure (approx. 20 s).
u Turn the ignition switch 1 in the crane operatorʼs cab to „position II“ and hold it for approx. 20 s in
„position II“.
When the ignition switch 1 is actuated:
u Immediately pump the manual feed pump 4 for approx. 20 s , but at least as long as the ignition
switch is being turned.
Result:
– The injection lines are bled.
– The diesel engine starts up and runs at low idle speed after a successful bleeding procedure.
– The bleeding function will be deactivated.
– The system switches over to normal operation.

Problem remedy
The injection lines are not bled and the diesel engine does not run at low idle speed?
The ignition switch 1 was not operated long enough or the manual feed pump 4 was used incorrectly.
u Hold the ignition switch 1 for 20 s in „position II“.
u Continuously pump the manual feed pump 4.

Note
u The starter block is deactivated if the bleeding function has been activated. Several starting at-
tempts can be made without turning the „ignition OFF“.

1.5.3 Deactivating the bleeding function

Note
u The bleeding function is automatically deactivated after successfully bleeding the injection lines or
when the ignition is turned off.

Once the injection lines have been successfully bled, the diesel engine is regulated by the engine
electronic to low idle speed after a short period and the bleeding function is automatically deactivated.
u Turn the ignition off: Turn the ignition switch to „position 0“.
Result:
– The diesel engine is turned off.

cified in the hydraulic circuit diagram as well as on the individual diaphragm reservoirs. The pretension
pressure must be measured separately in each diaphragm reservoir.

CAUTION
Danger of damaging the hydraulic system!
If the outside temperature fluctuates considerably, e.g. after transport to extremely hot or cold count-
ries or in countries with considerable differences between the summer and winter temperatures, the
gas accumulator pressures may change.
u Check the gas accumulator pressures and correct if necessary.

Ensure that the crane engine is turned off.


LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

DANGER
Danger of explosion!
The pressure in the nitrogen cylinder must be less than the maximum permitted operating pressure of
the reservoir or the pressure gauge. Otherwise install a pressure reducer between the cylinder and the
filling device.
u Do not use air or oxygen to fill the diaphragm reservoir!

The pretension pressure in the hydraulic reservoirs may only be checked by an expert with appro-
priate training and equipment. In addition, the national regulations for pressurized container inspecti-
ons must also be observed.
u Check the pretension pressure with a testing and filling device and correct, if necessary.

3.5 Hydraulic hose lines


The hydraulic hose lines must be checked according to ISO 9927-1 by an experienced technician or
expert mechanic, as required, depending on the duration of use and the operating conditions, but at
least once a year.
Experienced technicians are persons who have adequate knowledge of cranes because of their pro-
fessional background and experience and are adequately familiar with the relevant settings to detect
deviations from the correct situation (i.e. specially trained personnel).
Expert mechanics are mechanics who have experience in the design, construction or maintenance of
cranes and have adequate knowledge of the relevant settings and standards and the necessary
equipment to perform an inspection, and are in a position to assess the safety standards of the crane
and decide which action needs to be taken to ensure that the crane can continue to be operated sa-
fely.

Note
u The applicable national regulations must also be complied with!

3.5.1 Checking the hydraulic hoses within area of responsibility of the German em-
ployerʼs liability insurance associations
At least once a year, an expert must inspect the hydraulic hoses to ensure they are in operationally
safe condition. The crane must be inspected by an authorized inspector every four years from the
day it was first licensed. After the 12th year of operation, the crane must be inspected annually by an
authorized inspector.
The expert or authorized inspector must document the fact that the hydraulic hoses can continue to
be used in the crane!
An expert is someone whose technical training and experience means that he has adequate know-
ledge in the field of hydraulic hoses and hose systems and is adequately familiar with the relevant na-
tional work safety regulations, accident prevention regulations, directives and generally accepted tech-
nical regulations (e.g. DIN standards, VDE regulations, technical regulations of other EU member
states or other countries that have signed the European Economic Community agreement) that he is
in a position to assess whether hydraulic hoses and hose systems are safe to work with.
An authorized inspector is someone employed by supervisory authorities. In Hamburg this is the
Amt für Arbeitsschutz (work safety office) and in Hessen it is the technical supervisory offices or an
authorized inspector employed by the professional associations.

3.5.2 Examples of possible defects in hose lines

DANGER
Risk of fire and accident!
If problems are discovered during inspections, then they must be remedied immediately or suitable
measures are to be taken. Failure to do this can result in serious injury to persons, death or damage to
property.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

u Remedy problems or take suitable measures!

– Damage to the outer layer as far as the intermediate later (e.g. chafing, cuts and cracks).
– Outer layer brittleness (hose material cracking).
– Deformation that differs from the natural shape of the hose or hose system when depressurized or
pressurized or when the hose is bent (e.g. layer separation, bubbling, crushing or kinking).
– Leaks.
– Failure to follow installation instructions.
– Damage or deformation of hose fittings which inhibit the operation and strength of the fitting or the
hose / fitting connection.
– Hose slipping out of fitting.
– Fitting corrosion that inhibits operation and strength.
– Storage time or usage period exceeded.

1354 LTM 1400-7-1-007
7.05 Maintenance guidelines - Crane superstructure 0211546-00

3.5.3 Maintenance of hose lines


– We recommend to check all hoses, hose lines and screw fittings daily, but at least every two weeks
for leaks and externally recognizable signs of damage.
– Damaged parts must be replaced immediately! Oil spray can lead to injuries and fires.
– Hydraulic lines and hoses may not be repaired.
– Hoses that have already been used as a part of a hose line may not be reinstalled in hose lines.
– Always use original LIEBHERR spare parts when replacing hoses and hose lines.
– Always ensure that the hoses are routed free of torsion. If high pressure hoses are being used, at-
tach the screws of the half clamps or full flange at both ends of hose and then tighten.
– When using high pressure hoses with a bent fitting, tighten the end with the bent fitting first when
tightening the flanges, then the end with the straight fitting.
– Any mounting clamps in the hose center may be attached and tightened only thereafter.
– Route the hoses in such a way that chafing with other hoses or other structures is prevented. Main-
tain minimum clearance of approximately ½ the outer diameter of the hose from other parts. The
clearance may never be less than 10 to 15 mm.

3.5.4 Replacing the hose lines

DANGER
Risk of fire and accident!
Failure to replace hose systems at appropriate intervals can cause serious injury to persons, death or
damage to property.
u Replace hose lines according to appropriate intervals!

This must be documented in the craneʼs log by the expert or the authorized inspector.
The service life of a hose line may not exceed six years, including a storage period of a maximum of
two years. (Pay attention to manufacturing date of hoses.) The duration of use can also be defined by
the expert or authorized inspector in accordance with existing test and empirical data in the indivi-
dual application areas, taking the usage conditions into consideration.

5 Slewing ring connection


5.1 Lubricating the slewing ring connection
Before and after long breaks in operation, particularly before and after any winter break, carry out the
lubrication procedure especially diligently in order to provide the best possible corrosion protection.
If the crane has not been moved for more than 3 months, then it must be lubricated every 3 months
with an external grease pump until grease emerges from all grease points, see also section of „Central
lubrication system“. Then the relevant crane movement must be repeated several times and the lubri-
cation procedure must be carried out again.
u Lubricate the slewing ring connection.

5.2 Lubricating the gear ring and the slewing gear pinion
Before and after extended breaks in service, grease the gear ring 1 and the slewing gear pinion 2 to
ensure the best possible protection from corrosion.
u Grease the gear ring 1 and the slewing gear pinion 2 externally.

5.3 Tilt play of roller ring connection


The wear of the roller ring connection is determined by measuring the „tilt play“ with the ring installed.

Note
u The determination of the „tilt play“ must be carried out according to the test instructions of
Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH.
u Contact the Service Dept. at Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH for test instructions.

DANGER
Danger of accident if tilt play of roller ring connection is too large!
If the permissible tilt play of 2.0 mm is exceeded, then safe crane operation is no longer possible.
u Replace the roller ring connection if the tilt play is larger than 2.0 mm !

The winch turn sensor is adjusted in the factory. If the equipment is used properly the winch turn sen-
sor will not need readjusting.

DANGER
The following situations must be observed, otherwise the winch sensor must be readjusted.
u Do not pull the end of rope underneath the winch by spooling the rope winch up!
u Do not pull the rope from the „stationary“ winch.
u The winch sensor must also be readjusted if it is noticed during operation or when changing the
hoist rope that no shut off occurs for spooling out the winch when 4 rope coils are left on the winch.

Procedure for „changing the hoist rope“


u Slowly spool out the hoist rope until shut off at 4 rope coils.
u Check the shut off.
If the rope winch does not shut off at 4 rope coils:
u Have winch turn sensor readjusted by Liebherr Service.
u Change the winch over to emergency operation: See Crane operating instructions, chapter „6.02
Emergency operation“, section „Emergency operation without LICCON“.
u Spool the remaining 4 rope coils out in emergency mode: See Crane operating instructions, chap-
ter „6.02 Emergency operation“, section „Emergency operation without LICCON“.
u Remove the old rope.
u Attach a new rope.
u Spool up at least 3 rope coils in emergency mode: See Crane operating instructions, chapter „6.02
Emergency operation“, section „Emergency operation without LICCON“.
u Turn off the emergency mode: See Crane operating instructions, chapter „6.02 Emergency opera-
tion“, section „Emergency operation without LICCON“.

DANGER
Danger of accident if rope grip rips out or due to uncontrolled winch shut off!

bricant, rope end connections. See Manufacturerʼs specifications.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

4.4 Qualification Maintenance personnel


Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
– The maintenance personnel is trained and instructed in maintenance tasks.
– The maintenance personnel is assigned (authorized) for the maintenance by the crane operator.

4.5 Damage on rope


Rope removal criteria: If severe damage reduces the operational safety, then the rope can reached
the removal criteria.
This section provides an overview for possible damage on the rope. For clearer illustration, the distorti-
ons on the illustrations are exaggerated.

copyright by
1384 LTM 1400-7-1-007
7.05.50 Maintenance guidelines - Crane boom 029992-00

The displayed ropes show a condition, which is far above the removal criteria.
Damage on the rope causes uneven load distribution in the affected areas.
Damage on the rope is most often localized.
Typical examples for damage, which can be recognized during maintenance work:
– Broken strands
– Wire breaks
– Reduction of rope diameter
– Localized increase of rope diameter
– Corrosion
– Flattenings
– Corkscrew-like distortion
– Basket formation
– Protruding, distorted inlay or braiding
– Loop formation
– Kinking, rope loops (grommets) pulled closed
– Buckles
– Influence of heat or electrical voltage, such as arcing

4.5.1 Broken strands


A strand consists of several individual wires.
When a complete braid is broken, then the rope must be taken down.

4.5.2 Broken wire


Externally visible broken wires are the result of wear caused by operation.
Additional types of broken wires:
– Broken wire in the inside of the rope
– Broken wire in the strand valleys
– Broken wire on a rope connection
A broken wire does not endanger the safety of the rope.

4.5.3 Reduction of rope diameter


The rope diameter changes due to abrasion, settling and external influences.
Abrasion of cover wires of outer strands of rope due to frictional contact. Especially in those areas
where ropes are in contact with the rope pulleys during start up or slow down of the load.
Wear is increased by lack of or incorrect lubrication and the effect of dust.
Abrasion reduces the tensile strength of steel ropes because the cross section of the steel is reduced.

029992-00 7.05.50 Maintenance guidelines - Crane boom

Fig.121001: External abrasion on the rope


When the rope diameter is reduced, the rope must be checked by expert personnel for crane rope
inspection.

4.5.4 Localized increase of rope diameter


An increase, which occurs over a longer area of the rope can be caused by absorption of moisture in
the fiber insert or due to corrosion in the inside of the rope.

Fig.120992: Increase of rope diameter


When a localized increase of the rope diameter is present, then the rope must be checked by expert
personnel for crane rope inspection.

4.5.5 Corrosion
Corrosion occurs due to insufficient lubrication, in maritime climates and in an atmosphere polluted by
industrial fumes.
External corrosion is indicated by a rough wire surface. A superficial rust film can be wiped off.
Significant corrosion reduces the strength and elasticity of the rope due to the reduction of the rope
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

diameter.
Inner corrosion is hard to detect.

Fig.120994: External corrosion

Fig.120995: Magnification of external corrosion for better depiction


When significant corrosion is present, the rope must be checked by expert personnel for crane rope
inspection.

4.5.6 Flattening
Flattening occurs when the rope runs through the rope pulleys. In this area the rope wears quicker.
Corrosion occurs faster on retaining ropes and guy ropes.

Fig.120996: Flattenings on multi layer spoolings


When flattening is present, the rope must be checked by expert personnel for crane rope inspec-
tion.

4.5.7 Corkscrew-like distortion


Distortion where the rope is in the form of a corkscrew along its longitudinal axis.
Corkscrew-like distortion causes rope wear, broken wires and bearing damage on rope pulleys.

Fig.120988: Corkscrew-like distortion


When corkscrew-like distortion is present, the rope must be checked by expert personnel for crane
rope inspection.

4.5.8 Basket formation


This distortion occurs due to different layers between the outer strand layers and the inside of the
rope.
Causes for basket formation are high angular pull angles during the run over the rope pulleys and run-
in rope pulleys. Even load distribution over the entire cross section is not possible.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Fig.120989: Basket formation


When basket formation is present, then the rope must be taken down.

1388 LTM 1400-7-1-007
7.05.50 Maintenance guidelines - Crane boom 029992-00

4.5.9 Protruding, distorted inlay, braiding


This distortion is a special form of basket formation: The insert or the core of the rope protrudes bet-
ween the external braids or an external braid protrudes from the rope banding.

Fig.120990: Protrusion of an insert (rope single layer)

Fig.120991: Distorted or protruding strand


When the insert or a strand protrudes or is distorted, place the rope down. Have expert personnel for
crane rope inspection check if the rope area with the distortion can be removed.

4.5.10 Loop formation


At loop formation individual wires protrude from the rope banding, when no broken wire ends can be
seen.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Fig.120993: Emergence of individual wires


When loop formation is present, take the rope down.

4.5.11 Kinking, rope loops (grommets) pulled closed


Deformation, where a loop has formed in the rope, without the possibility to rotate around its own axis
during a load. The rope is subjected to more wear.
The rope is deformed. The strength remains only in part.

Fig.120998: Severe kinking or knots


When kinking or rope loops are present, place the rope down.

4.5.12 Buckles
Buckles are angular deformations. The rope was damaged due to external influences. Strong defor-
mations of the rope cause stronger wear.

Fig.120999: Severe buckle


When buckles are present, take the rope down.

4.5.13 Effects of heat, arcs


Damage caused to the rope by welding work, for example.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Unusual heat impact is visible by tempering colors and loss of lubricant.


When heat impact has occurred on the rope, then the rope must be taken down.

4.6 Checking the ropes

The position of a broken wire is important for subsequent inspection. Individual broken wires are coun-
ted and are recorded later in the evaluation for withdrawal from service.
u Document the position of the broken wires in the crane record. Inspection checklist, see chapter
8.04.

4.10 Turning an extremely rotation-resistant hoist rope out


WARNING
Damage of rope due to incorrect procedure!
u Use extreme caution for the following procedures.
u Observe the following instructions exactly.

The cause for the turn-in of the hook block can have various reasons.
Check the crane for the following peculiarities:
– Scrub marks: Are hoist rope scrub marks present on the crane components? If scrub marks are
present, check the hoist rope run and correct it.
– Rope pulleys: Did the groove diameter become too small?
• Groove diameter dimensional stability must be present.
• If this is not the case, the rope pulley must be replaced.
– Rope lubrication: Has the hoist rope been sufficiently lubricated? If the rope surface is dry, the hoist
rope must be re-lubricated.
If the crane does not display other peculiarities, the hoist rope must be spun out.
The following sections describe two methods of how to spin out the hoist rope. The methods must be
applied in the described sequence.

4.10.1 Spinning out with single strand reeving


u Reeve in the single strand hoist rope.
u Extend the boom to the maximal boom length and hook height.
u Lower hooks to approximately 1 m above the ground and allow the hoist rope to spin out.
u With an empty hook block, carry out one complete hoist cycle.
u Lower the hook again to approximately 1 m above the ground and allow the hoist rope to spin out
again.
u Reeve the number of strands of hoist rope carefully and spin free where the twisting of the hook
block is largest.
u Distribute the spin out to the entire rope length: Run at least two entire hoist cycles at maximum
boom length and hook height.

Note
When the hook block continues to turn in:
u Spin the rope out, see section „Spinning out by turning the hook block out“.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

4.10.2 Spinning out by turning out the hook block


Make sure that the following prerequisite is met:
– The hook block is reeved with the number of strands where the twisting is the largest.
u Extend the boom completely and lower the hook block.
u Attach a load of approximately 10 % of the nominal rope pull on the hook block.
Before lifting the load, a helper must rotate the twisted hook block to a straight position by hand until
the rope strands no longer touch each other.
u Continue to turn the hook block by one entire turn.
Result:
– The rope strands touch again.

029992-00 7.05.50 Maintenance guidelines - Crane boom

NOTICE
The hook block turns back under load in a straight position!
When the hook block turns back in a straight position:
u Release the hook block.

u Hold the hook block in the prescribed position until the load lifts off the ground.
u Move the load until approximately 15 m before the uppermost hook position of the completely ex-
tended boom.
u Lower load and set it down.

4.11 Renewing the pretension of hoist ropes


WARNING
Lacking pretension of the rope on the winch!
Excessive rope wear in the lower spooling layers, gap formation, rope cutting in.
When the lower rope layers on the winch are hardly used or not:
u Renew the pretension in the entire rope regularly.

Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:


– A reeving is selected where the entire rope length can be spooled.
– Clean spooling pattern on the drum at spooling.

Note
Recommendation!
u The rope application is the most economical when the entire rope length is utilized.
When only a part of the rope length is used for a longer period of time:
u Use a proportionally shorter rope.

u Spool the rope out until three safety coils.


u Spool the rope up with a rope tensile force of 10 % of the maximum rope tensile force.

4.12 Shortening the rope


WARNING
Distortions and mechanical damage!
Operational safety significantly disturbed, uneven load distribution within the rope.
u Have the manufacturer check if the distorted and damaged area can be severed.

Visible form changes often occur localized or in short rope sections.


When a safe operation of the rope is ensured, a distorted and damaged area can be severed.
To shorten the rope there are different prerequisites:
– Rope shows flattenings
– Broken wires occur solely within the area of the rope end connection, the remaining rope is unda-
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

maged

DANGER
Minimum number of remaining coils on the winch fallen below!
Rope releases or rips off, falling load. Death, severe injury, property damage.
u Make sure, after shortening the rope that at least three remaining coils remain on the winch in all
working positions of the crane.

Make sure that the following prerequisite is met:


– The rope was shortened by authorized and trained expert personnel.
Multi layer spooling: When the rope on the fixed point on the winch is shortened by half the winch
diameter, then the service life of the rope increases significantly.

Fig.120972: Tie the rope before shortening it


d Rope nominal diameter L Length of tie, at least 2d
The length of the tie L must be at least 2 times the rope nominal diameter (2d).
The shortening of the rope in this section applies to a single layer rope. On rotation-resistance, parallel
roped ropes it may be necessary to tie several times to prevent the rope from jumping open when it is
cut.
u Tie the rope on both sides with wire.
u Twist the end of the wire with the pliers to prevent them from releasing.

WARNING
Danger of injury due to flying sparks!
u Wear safety glasses and safety gloves.

u Separate the rope vertically to the rope axis.


u Fasten the end connections on the rope according to the manufacturerʼs instructions.
u Remove the tie on both ends of the separation from the rope.

If the radio contact connection to the BTT 4 is faulty or interrupted (Indicator light Transmission sig-
nal 550 lights up red), then it can be bypassed with line 20.
The radio contact connection to the BTT 4 can become faulty or interrupted by the following occurren-
ces:
– By interference signals from a nearby radio tower.
– The radio module on the BTT 4 or on the BTB is defective.
– The rechargeable battery in the BTT 4 is discharged.
– Due to bad selection of location by the operator.

Bypassing the radio contact connection


Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
– The line 20 to bypass the radio contact connection has been removed from the switch cabinet of
the crane cab.
– The BTT 4 has been removed from the charging module 22 and is turned on.
– The caps on the plug connection 23 and the plug connection 29 have been removed.
u Screw the line 20 on the charging module 22 onto the plug connection 23.
u Screw the line 20 on the BTT 4 onto the plug connection 29.
Result:
– The radio contact connection is bypassed.

Note
If the BTT 4 does not turn on, even though the line 20 is connected with the charging module 22, then
the rechargeable battery may be defective!
u Contact Liebherr Service to determine the cause of the problem and further procedure.

1 General
This crane was tested at the manufacturerʼs facilities prior to shipment in accordance with the valid
ISO, FEM and DIN Standards and BGV D6 (BGG 905).
The safety level achieved during initial commissioning may not be attainable during operation.
Examples of the root cause of such deviations include; e.g., wear and tear, corrosion, effects of exter-
nal forces, changes in the environment and changes to the mode of operation.
The operator is responsible for taking the necessary steps to ensure that the level of safety is maintai-
ned.
The crane operator is therefore obligated to have the crane inspected by an expert, at intervals de-
pending on the operational conditions but at least once per year, from the first day of vehicle registra-
tion.
The crane must be inspected by an authorized inspector every four years after it has been licensed.
The crane must be annually inspected by an authorized inspector after its twelfth year of operation.
To ensure the high safety standard of the crane, we recommend - no later than the 12th year, in the
20th year, in the 26th year and then every 4 years - to have the crane undergo a general inspection by
an authorized inspector. At that time, in addition to the usual scope of inspection, all load carrying
parts of the crane - the complete steel structure with all welding seams as well as all components and
connecting devices - are to be subjected to a complete visual inspection. The following procedural no-
tes for repeat inspections are to be observed for that.

WARNING
There is a risk of weakening the supporting components when major changes or repairs are made to
the crane!
u In this case, the operator must have the crane reinspected by an authorized inspector before pla-
cing it back into service!

In addition, all respective local and national regulations also apply.


Expert: Is a person whose technical training and experience means that he has adequate knowledge
in the field of inspecting technical equipment. They must be familiar with regulations on safety at work,
as well as guidelines and standards that allow them to assess the safe condition of technical equip-
ment (e.g. cranes). Potential experts are workshop staff and customer service engineers.

Note
u Experts are not authorized inspectors!

Authorized inspector: Is a person whose technical training and experience means that he has expli-
cit knowledge in the field of inspecting technical equipment. They must be familiar with regulations on
safety at work, as well as guidelines and standards that allow them to assess the safe condition of
technical equipment (e.g. cranes). They are responsible for testing technical equipment and giving an
expert opinion. Authorized inspectors can be active engineers.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Note
u Authorized inspectors are legally recognized experts who have received special training!

Periodic inspection are principally a visual inspection, where the inspector (either type) appraises the
condition of the crane and its components.
The purpose of the inspections is to avoid accidents by detecting deficiencies early on. Any deficien-
cies determined by the inspector must be documented, corrected, and subsequently reinspected.
A number of important examples of items that are particularly important during the periodic crane in-
spections are listed in the following. We wish to advise that the authorized inspectors / experts take
sole responsibility for the crane inspections that they carry out.

LTM 1400-7-1-007 1455
029935-01 8.01 Periodic crane inspections

Note
u The inspection may not be solely limited to the following positions shown in the sample construc-
tion illustrations. Rather the entire crane structure must be subjected to a careful inspection!

In the Crane operating instructions, chapter 8.90 is a checklist to assist the inspector during the perio-
dic inspections of Liebherr mobile and crawler cranes.
If the inspector has any questions they should be directed through our Service Department to
Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbHʼs technical departments.

WARNING
Danger of accident!
u Adhere to the following inspection guidelines and intervals.

2 Inspection of carrying crane structures, especially


steel structures
2.1 Basic principles and procedure
DANGER
Danger of fatal injury!
The crane structures, particularly steel constructions have to be checked by an expert or authorized
inspector at least once a year. If this is not the case, they could fail and cause fatal injury or seriously
damage the crane!
u Crane structures, particularly steel structures must be checked by an expert or an authorized in-
spector at least once a year!
u Shorten the inspection intervals when the crane is subjected to above-average load spectrums, for
example when handling large material quantities or frequently erecting long boom systems.
u When the crane was subjected to excessive operating loads; e.g., due to an unusual impact, the
crane structure, especially the steel structures must be inspected immediately!

Crane structures, especially steel structures, such as booms, turntables, chassis, support equipment
(e.g., sliding beams or folding outriggers) must be carefully inspected, at the very least during the an-
nual recommended crane inspections. Inspect welding seams especially through an intensive visual
inspection.
If paint damage with corrosion (rust) is found on load carrying parts of the crane structure, especially
on telescopic booms, lattice booms, lattice jibs, pull rods etc., then the rust must be removed, primed
and painted.
During an electrolyte process, such as corrosion in combination with water, an atomic hydrogen is
created, which causes to hydrogen induced corrosion with resulting cracks on high tensile fine grain
construction steel.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

If disassembly and assembly work on the crane is required to carry out the inspections, then they must
be carried out by taking the manufacturerʼs data into account or in coordination with the crane manu-
facturer.
We would like to point out that the framework of mobile cranes is designed for a limited number of
stress work cycles. This also determines the utilization or service life of the framework. The service life
is not determined solely by the number of stress cycles. It also depends on the loads (load spectrum)
applied during the time in operation.
Liebherr mobile and crawler cranes are designed for specific characteristics and movements, such as
constant deployment of drive forces, only occasional operation and load conditions according to EN
13000:2010.

copyright by
1456 LTM 1400-7-1-007
8.01 Periodic crane inspections 029935-01

Liebherr mobile and crawler cranes are designed for assembly operation and - according to
EN 13000:2010, chapter 4.1.2.1 - they can only take on a limited number of work cycles (N = 32000)
when grouping them into collective class Q1 = light (kp = 0.125).
Example of a load collective according to grouping in collective class Q1 = light (kp = 0.125).

Fig.104716
Lᵢ: Load proportion in relation to maximum nᵢ: Load cycles in relation to maximum num-
load [%] ber [%]

Note
u The service life of Liebherr mobile and crawler cranes can be drastically reduced, for example
when used in magnet, grapple or material handling applications!
u Repeated inspection of crane structure, especially the steel structure and the welding seams must
then be carried out in shorter intervals than specified.

For that reason, the steel structures and the welding joints must be subjected to an visual intensive
inspection by the expert during the specified periodic inspections.
If any damage (such as cracks or suspicion of cracks) are apparent on any part of the steel structure,
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

the total extent of the damage must be determined by qualified specialists using appropriate material
testing methods, such as magnetic crack detection, ultrasound or x-rays. Thereafter, the qualified per-
sonnel must determine whether or not the damaged area can be repaired by welding or by other
means.
The following diagrams are samples of the load-bearing welding structures. The welding joints or
seams or steel structural zones that require inspection may be present more than once and in various
forms. The joints or zones must be inspected all around at the locations identified by arrows.

029935-01 8.01 Periodic crane inspections

Note
u The scope and extent of all inspections remain the sole responsibility of the inspectors!
u The scope and results of tests should be documented to permit reproducibility. This documentation
forms part of the crane records and should be safely stored during the entire service life of the
crane!
u The following diagrams are provided to assist the inspector. The illustrations are only examples
and are not necessarily 100 % complete!

2.2 Repair welds


If defects such as cracks or permanent deformation are detected on load-bearing steel components,
they should be immediately reported to the Service Department at Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH
(hereinafter called LWE).
Furthermore, the defect must immediately be appraised by an authorized inspector in accordance with
standard welding technology rules. The inspector must immediately ascertain whether or not the crane
can continue to be safely operated until the time of the repair.
The following items apply to the repair weld:
– Repair welds may only be carried out by LWE personnel or third party personnel contracted by
LWE, with appropriate welding qualifications according to EN 287-1 for the subject material and
welding method!
– The repair weld must be carried out in accordance with the latest revision of LWEʼs internal wel-
ding guideline ISR B 010!
– The repaired structural component must subsequently be subjected to a load test.
The required test loads and boom configurations are to be determined by LWE Service!
Successful test results are to be documented in the crane inspection log!
– We also refer to observing the accident prevention regulations „Principles for testing cranes by au-
thorized inspectors or experts in accordance with UVV Cranes BGV D6 and BGG 905“!

WARNING
Danger of accidents in case of defective repair welds!
Due to defective repair welds, severe personnel and property damage can result!
u Observe and adhere to the instructions and welding regulations!

Note
Exclusion of liability!
For repair welds, which are not made by LWE personnel or by personnel authorized by LWE,
Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH excludes liability for the system functionality as well as for the parts!
u Have repair welds only made by LWE personnel or by personnel authorized by LWE! LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

5 Inspection of safety ropes and anchor points


WARNING
Danger of falls due to damaged safety ropes or anchor points!
The safety ropes 1 and anchor points 3 must be checked at least once a year by expert personnel
for safety and damage!
If any defects are found on the safety ropes 1 or anchor points 3 during the inspections, then the sa-
fety ropes 1 or anchor points 3 must be replaced immediately by expert personnel! If this is not ob-
served, assembly personnel could be killed or fatally injured in a fall!
u The rope pretension on the safety ropes must be 800 N !
u Have damaged safety ropes 1 or anchor points 3 replaced immediately by expert personnel!

Note
Document the inspections in writing!
u The scope and results of tests should be documented to permit reproducibility. This documentation
forms part of the crane records and should be safely stored during the entire service life of the
crane.

5.1 Check of rope pretension on telescopic booms, illustration 1

Fig.112738
The rope pretension must be 800 N. This can be checked with the aid of a spring balance, which is
pulled centered on the safety rope. If the specified deflection (f) depending on the rope length (L) ac-
cording to the following charts results for the raised load F = 100 N then the rope pretension of 800 N
is set correctly.

Rope pretension is 800 N if:


Rope length (L) 1.0 m 1.5 m 2.0 m 2.5 m 3.5 m
Deflection (f) 15 mm 25 mm 30 mm 40 mm 55 mm

Rope pretension is 800 N if:

pressure tanks.

8 Inspection of the safety controls on the relapse cy-


linders
For inspection of the safety control or limit switches on the relapse cylinders and the boom A-frames,
see Crane operating instructions, chapter 8.12.

9 Inspection of rope pulleys


9.1 Check for damage and cracks
DANGER
Danger of accident in case of damage or cracks!
u Replace rope pulley immediately!

Check the entire rope pulley assemblies for damage and cracks once a year.
If rope pulleys are subjected to any impacts (e.g., with buildings) or are otherwise overloaded, they
must be visually inspected for damage or cracks immediately.

9.2 Checking the groove diameter


NOTICE
Worn rope pulleys!
The functionality and service life of the rope is reduced. Damage on rope.
u Before placing the rope, check the groove diameter of rope pulleys.

Visible wear on rope pulleys:


LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

– Reduced groove diameter


– Negative impressions of the rope profile in the groove
Make sure that the following tools are available:
– Groove caliber
Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
– All components to be inspected are cleaned
– The rope does not obstruct the inspection of the components

Note
u The actual groove diameter must be larger than the actual diameter of the rope.

copyright by
LTM 1400-7-1-007 1537
029935-01 8.01 Periodic crane inspections

The groove diameter of rope pulleys and winches must be at least 6 % larger than the nominal rope
diameter.
Check the rope pulleys with a groove caliber for wear. When wear exists on the rope grooves: Fix the
rope pulleys or replace.

10 Inspecting the function of the overload protection


Position the longest boom at minimum and maximum radius: Check the load indicator, using the hook
block as a test load.
The indicator reading may not deviate by more than 10 % off the true load value at these two extreme
positions.
Measure the indicated radius for the longest boom at its minimum radius and at a boom angle of 45°.
The indicator readings may not deviate more than 10 % off the measured radius.

11 Inspecting the roller slewing ring connection


For tilt play measurement, see Crane operating instructions, chapter 7.05

12 Inspection of the mounting of the load bearing


equipment
Check that the mounting bolts for the roller slewing ring, winches, slewing gears and hitch are properly
seated.
The slewing ring connection mounting bolts are pre-stressed at the factory, so that no loosening of the
screw connections will occur during normal crane operation.
However, the screw connection may become overloaded and the bolts may be permanently stretched
if the crane is overloaded or if the load is pulled free. It is therefore important to check these screws for
tight seating during the annual crane inspection or after an overload.
Remove loose screws completely as well as the two adjacent screws on the right and left and check
them for damage closely. Inspect the screws especially for cracks or permanent distortion. If a screw
has been stretched by more than 0.2 % (in relation to its original length) or if cracks or other damage
are detected, then the damaged screws must be replaced. If the screws have been stretched or there
is other damage, then the adjacent screws must also be replaced.

8.03 Inspecting the hoist and retracting winches 029937-00

1 Inspecting the hoist and retracting winches


The hoist and retracting winches are designed in sealed planetary gear version. These gears are si-
zed for long service life and the drive shafts and gears are rated for endurance.
Even though the hoist and retracting winches are designed for long life, an external visual inspection is
not adequate, since their life can be significantly affected by bad maintenance (insufficient oil), using
oil that does not meet specification requirements, defective seals, improper operation or overloading.
The annual inspection must therefore be carried out by an expert in accordance with the following re-
quirements.
The winches must be inspected by an authorized inspector every four years after the initial license.
Within the territorial validity of the BGV D6, after the 10th year in operation, counted from the first day
of initial license, when the theoretical utilization time is not over, the winches must be checked an-
nually by an authorized inspector.

2 Checking the groove diameter


WARNING
Worn winches!
Damage of flanged disks, high rope wear, operational problems. Broken rope, falling load.
u Before placing the rope, check the groove diameter of winches.

Visible wear on winches:


– Reduced groove diameter
– Mechanical damage, for example scrub marks or scouring on flanged disks
Make sure that the following tools are available:
– Groove caliber
Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
– All components to be inspected are cleaned
– The rope does not obstruct the inspection of the components

Note
u The groove radius may not be smaller than the actual diameter of the rope.

The groove diameter of rope pulleys and winches must be at least 6 % larger than the nominal rope
diameter.
Check winches with a groove caliber for wear. When wear is present: Fix the winch or replace.

3 Inspection intervals
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

At least once a year, see Crane operating instructions, chapter 7.03.

4 Checking the oil level


Check the oil level with the dipstick.
For hoist and retracting winches without a dipstick, we recommend that the oil is drained and the
amount compared to the specified oil quantity.

copyright by
LTM 1400-7-1-007 1543
029937-00 8.03 Inspecting the hoist and retracting winches

5 Evaluating oil color


Assume that the oil has been overheated if it is black and / or a burnt oil smell is detected. Change the
oil.

6 Checking for solid foreign substances


As a rule, a qualified laboratory should carry out an oil analysis.
For simple testing, the following procedure can be used:
Drip the used oil on a specified filter fleece. Visual inspection with a magnifying glass may reveal co-
arse particles. If particles are detected, all the oilʼs properties must be examined by a qualified labora-
tory.

Note
u The evaluation of the foreign particles found in the oil must be made by a qualified laboratory!
u The maximum permissible quantity of foreign material measured by weight is 0.15 % of total oil
weight!
u Maximum permissible foreign particle size from fine abrasion is 0.25 microns!
u If the above value have been exceeded, remove the gear and search for the cause of the incre-
ased abrasion!
u Damaged components must be replaced and the gear refilled with fresh oil!

NOTICE
Danger of property damage!
u Repairs may only be carried out by specialists with appropriate technical knowledge!

7 Visual inspection for leaks


The gears must be checked for leaks, since oil losses - in addition to polluting the environment - can
lead to gear failure.

8 Inspecting the gear brakes


Check the brakes each time the gears are inspected.
In order to do so, proceed as follows:
– Attach a load, which creates 40 % of the maximum rope pull in the uppermost layer of the coil and
raise it just off the ground.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

– Remove the plug on the brake vent magnet.


This means the brake remains applied when activated.
– Activate the winch in the lowering direction.

Note
u The brake may not slip, in other words, the winch may not turn. If the brake slips, contact the Ser-
vice department at Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH!
u Only operate the crane after it has been checked and approved for use by the Service department
at Liebherr Werk Ehingen GmbH!

8.03 Inspecting the hoist and retracting winches 029937-00

NOTICE
Danger of property damage!
u Only qualified personnel with specialized knowledge may be used to evaluate gears and brakes!

9 Documenting the completed inspection


The results of the annual inspections and maintenance work, including the steps taken, must be docu-
mented by the competent or authorized inspector, including attachments from the inspection labs and
qualified service companies if applicable.
This documentation must be filed in the crane inspection log under the heading "Periodic inspections".

10 Requirements for monitoring the winches


10.1 Theoretical service life
The designer of your crane used a theoretical total operating time when designing and sizing the win-
ches. This resulted in the theoretical service life of the equipment.
The winches of your crane are classified according to ISO 4301/1 as follows:

Winches Classification
Power train group: M3
Load spectrum: L1
Load spectrum factor Km: 0,125
Theoretical service life D: 3200 h

Note
u The „theoretic service life“ is not equal to the real (true) service life of a winch!

The actual life of the winch is affected by many additional outside factors; for example:
– Overloads caused by unapproved use of the crane.
– Inadequate maintenance: Oil is not changed in a timely manner
– Improper operation:
• Extreme acceleration or deceleration of the load
• Load falling into the ropes
– Maintenance errors:
• Using the wrong type of oil
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

• Too much or too little oil


• Contamination during oil change
– Assembly errors during repair and maintenance
– Undetected leakage
– Incorrectly set safety devices
– Hidden damage from accidents
– Extreme environmental conditions:
• Extreme low or high temperatures
• Corrosive atmosphere
• Dust and dirt

029937-00 8.03 Inspecting the hoist and retracting winches

10.2 Used proportion of the theoretical service life.


The crane operator is obligated to carry out an inspection of the crane at least once a year.
At this time, the actually used part of the theoretical service life must also be calculated. If necessary,
the crane operator must contract an authorized inspector.
For the determination of the used part of the theoretical service life, the actual operating conditions
(load spectrum) and the hoist gear operating hours for each inspection interval are to be determined.
The operator is responsible for the documentation in the crane inspection log.

10.2.1 Determining the operating conditions (load spectrum)


The load spectrum of the crane is divided into groups, please refer to ISO 4301/1.
Select one of the following load spectrums and record it in the crane inspection log for the respective
inspection interval based on the actual operating conditions. A more precise determination of the load
spectrum is permissible.

Load spectrum class: Light L1

Fig.195234: Graphic illustration Load spectrum L1


Definition:
Power train or parts thereof are subjected to maximum stress only in exceptional cases, but nor-
mally only operate at very light loads.
Operating time rates:
10 % of the time at maximum load (dead load and 1/1 working load)
40 % of the time with dead load and 1/3 working load
50 % of the time only with dead load
Factor of load spectrum:
Km = 0.125

Note
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

u Load spectrum L1 with load spectrum factor Km = 0.125 is normally applied to cranes used for as-
sembly operations!

8.03 Inspecting the hoist and retracting winches 029937-00

Load spectrum class: Medium L2

Fig.195235: Graphic illustration Load spectrum L2


Definition:
Power train or parts thereof are subjected to maximum load relatively often, but normally only ope-
rate at light load.
Operating time rates:
1/6 of the time at maximum load (dead load and 1/1 working load).
1/6 of the time with dead load and 2/3 working load.
1/6 of the time with dead load and 1/3 working load.
50 % of the time only with dead load
Factor of load spectrum:
Km = 0.25

Load spectrum class: Heavy L3

dium load.
Operating time rates:
50 % of the time at maximum load (dead load and 1/1 working load)
50 % of the time only with dead load

Fig.195237: Graphic illustration Load spectrum L4


Definition:
Power train or parts thereof are regularly subjected to near maximum loads.
Operating time rates:
90 % of the time at maximum load (dead load and 1/1 working load)
10 % of the time only with dead load
Factor of load spectrum:
Km = 1

10.2.2 Determining the effective operating hours Ti


The effective operating hours calculated as follows must be entered into the crane inspection log for
the respective inspection interval.
There are four different scenarios:
1. Operating hour meter installed on every winch.
If an operating hour meter is installed on every winch, the effective operating hours Ti can be read
directly during each inspection.
2. Operating hour meter installed for the overall crane drive.
The winch proportion of the total superstructure operating hours must be estimated.
For cranes used in assembly operations, the operating time for the hoist winches can be estima-
ted generally at 20 % of the total operating hours of the superstructure.
3. One operating hours meter is used for both the crane engine and the crane drive
The winch proportion of the total crane operating hours must be estimated.
For cranes used in assembly operations, the operating time for the superstructure can be estima-
ted at 60 % of the total operating hours of the crane. If the hoist winch proportion is estimated at
20 % of the superstructure operating hours (see previous item), then the result in relation to the
total operating hours of the crane is: 12 %.
4. No operating hour meter installed.
In this case, the operator must estimate and document the actual operating hours of the winch.
The approximate percentages stated above normally apply to main hoist winches. For auxiliary
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

hoist winches or boom control winches, the proportion of the total operating hours can be signifi-
cantly less and should therefore be estimated by the operator.

10.2.3 Determining the used proportion of the theoretical service life


For an inspection interval i (max. 1 year), the actually used proportion Si of the theoretical Service life
is derived from the formula:

copyright by
1548 LTM 1400-7-1-007
8.03 Inspecting the hoist and retracting winches 029937-00

Fig.195230

Abbreviation Explanation
Si Used proportion of the theoretical service life.
Km Load spectrum factor that was used to calculate the winch rates. This factor is
provided in the Operating instructions.
Kmi Load spectrum factor for inspection interval i according to section „Determining
the operating conditions“.
Ti Effective operating hours for inspection interval i according to section „Determi-
ning the effective operating hours Ti“.

The actually used proportion is subtracted from the remaining theoretical service life Di after each in-
spection interval (see example).
If the remaining theoretical service life is not long enough to cover the next projected operating period,
a general overhaul of the winch is required.
If the theoretical service life D has been reached (see chapter on „Theoretical service life“), then the
winch may only be operated after conducting a general overhaul.
A general overhaul of the winch is required not later than 10 years after commissioning.
The general overhaul must be arranged by the operator and carried out by the manufacturer or the
manufacturerʼs authorized representatives and must be documented in the inspection log. After the
general overhaul, the manufacturer or the manufacturerʼs authorized representative will define a new
theoretical service life D.
When the design life has not been reached after 10 years, continued operation of the winch without a
general overhaul is acceptable, when the craneʼs authorized inspector has confirmed the accuracy of
the actual usage calculation by signing the crane inspection log at each authorized inspection interval.
In such a case, the authorized crane inspector must thoroughly inspect the winch. This comprises at
least:
– External visual inspection (leakage, damage, deformation, etc.).
– Oil check, especially for metal residues.
– Load test at minimum and maximum rope tension and at maximum possible speed in both cases.
At least one layer must be spooled up. Pay particular attention to any unusual noises during this
load test.
The authorized crane inspector must confirm this inspection in the crane inspection log and must
make a statement regarding suitability of the winch for continued operation. The next inspection must
take place at the end of the 12th operating year and annually thereafter.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

10.3 Example
According to the manufacturerʼs operating manual, a mobile crane with a separate operating hour me-
ter for the crane engine and the crane drives is classified as follows:
– Power train group: M3
– Load spectrum: Light L1
– Factor of load spectrum: Km = 0.125
– Theoretical service life: D = 3200 h
Actual usage proportion S of the theoretical service life is calculated using the individual inspection in-
tervals as follows:

LTM 1400-7-1-007 1549
029937-00 8.03 Inspecting the hoist and retracting winches

10.3.1 First inspection (first year)


The crane was used for assembly work during the past year:
Load spectrum L1, in other words Km1 = 0.125.
The superstructure hour meter indicates 800 h. The winch was operated about 20 % of the time; i.e. T1
= 160 h.
The actual usage proportion S of the theoretical service life at the time of the first inspection is there-
fore:

Fig.195231
Remaining theoretical service life:
D1 = 3200 h – 160 h = 3040 h
The above values are recorded in the crane inspection log.

10.3.2 Second inspection (second year)


The crane was used at a harbor for unloading work:
Load spectrum L3, in other words Km2 = 0.5.
The superstructure hour meter indicates 2000 h ; i.e., during this period:
2000 h – 800 h = 1200 h ( 800 h were used in the first year of operation)
The winch was operated about 40 % of the time; i.e. T2 = 480 h.
The actual usage proportion S2 of the theoretical service life at the time of the second inspection is
therefore:

Fig.195232
Remaining theoretical service life:
D2 = 3040 h – 1920 h = 1120 h

10.3.3 Third inspection (third year)


The crane was used for assembly work and occasionally at a harbor for unloading work:
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Load spectrum L2, in other words Km3 = 0.25.


The superstructure hour meter indicates 3000 h ; i.e., during this period:
3000 h – 2000 h = 1000 h ( 2000 h were used in the first two years of operation)
The winch was operated about 30 % of the time; i.e. T3 = 300 h.
The actual usage proportion S3 of the theoretical service life at the time of the third inspection is there-
fore:

1 Importance of inspection
Rope removal criteria: If severe damage reduces the operational safety, then the rope can reached
the removal criteria.
The importance of regular inspections is demonstrated by:
– Evaluation of operational safety of ropes
– Determination of rope removal criteria
– Determination of next inspection

2 Personal protective equipment


WARNING
Injury due to wires and skin irritation due to lubricant!
u When working with ropes, always wear work gloves.

WARNING
Injuries if protective equipment is not worn!
u Wear hard hat, safety shoes and safety glasses.

5 Intervals
Intervals for crane inspection:
– according to determination by expert personnel for crane rope inspection
– or at least once a year

Note
u Shortening the inspection interval: The older a rope is the more frequently will wire breaks occur.

Determining factors for determination of inspection intervals are:


– Legal regulations in the country where the crane is operated
– Climate conditions under which the rope drive is utilized
– Power train group
– Results of previous inspections on current or comparable machine and under comparable opera-
ting conditions
– Frequency and type of use of a rope
– Service life of rope

Note
u The results of the inspections must be documented in the inspection checklist.
u Form for an inspection checklist, see section „Current checklist“.

8 Wire ropes and rope end connections


DANGER
Danger of accident!
u Correct choice and use of the wire rope and the rope end connections are a decisive precondition
for proper and accident-free crane operation.

The wire ropes and rope end connections are selected according to their application. It must be deter-
mined if a rotation-resistant or non-rotation resistant rope is required for the application. The type of
rope that is selected then determines the corresponding rope end connections.

8.1 Rotation-resistant ropes and their rope end connections


Rotation-resistant ropes are special ropes that produce extremely little torque and twisting at the rope
end connection when they are under strain.

Note
u Rotation-resistant ropes are used as hoist ropes.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Fig.195653
Typical rotation-resistant wire rope structures are ropes with 15 to 18 outer strands. Rotation-resistant
ropes are symbolically depicted with 15 outer strands (circles) (see table 1).
Rotation-resistant ropes can be optionally used with the following rope end connections:
– Rotating rope end connection in the form of a PFEIFER pouch socket with swivel or twist compen-
sator / swivel.
– Non-rotating rope end connection in the form of a PFEIFER pouch socket without swivel or gib
and cotter.
If possible, preference should be given to the use of a rotating rope end connection to reduce rotatio-
nal stress with rotation-resistant ropes (see table 2).

LTM 1400-7-1-007 1557
029943-00 8.04 Inspection of crane wire ropes

DANGER
Danger of severe injuries to personnel and property damage!
u Never use rotating rope end connections with non-rotation resistant ropes!

Note
Application warning notes
u The application warning notes on the rotating PFEIFER pouch socket with swivel indicates that this
rope end connection may not be used for non-rotation resistant ropes (see table 3)!

8.2 Non-rotation resistant ropes and their rope end connections


Non-rotation resistant ropes generate high torque levels on the rope end connection under strain. For
this reason, the rope ends must be protected from twisting using an appropriate rope end connection
to prevent the rope from unscrewing under strain!

Note
u Non-rotation resistant ropes are used as guy ropes or control ropes.

Fig.195654
Typical non-rotation resistant wire rope structures are ropes with 8 to 10 outer strands. Non-rotation
resistant ropes are symbolically depicted with 8 outer strands (circles) (see table 4).
Non-rotation resistant ropes can only be used with the following rope end connections:
– Non-rotating rope end connection in the form of a PFEIFER pouch socket without swivel or gib
and cotter.
A non-rotating rope end connection is also the mounting of the rope on the fixed point of the winch
drum.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

DANGER
Danger of severe injuries to personnel and property damage!
u Never use rotating rope end connections with non-rotation resistant ropes!
u Never install a twist compensator / swivel!

Note
Application warning notes
u The application warning note on PFEIFER pouch sockets without swivel and cotter indicates that
this rope end connection may not be used for non-rotation resistant ropes in combination with a
twist compensator / swivel (see table 5)!

9 Degree of severity
The deciding factor for the removal criteria is which removal criteria are resent and to which degree
they occur.
When various removal criteria are not present to a full degree, then the removal criteria must be eva-
luated as a total entity. For every individual removal criteria a degree of severity must be determined
(percentage value).
For a certain rope section the sum of individual degrees of severity results in a combined degree of
severity, see section „Combined degree of severity“.
When the combined degree of severity is more than 100 %, then the rope must be taken down.

11 Distortions and mechanical damage


WARNING
Distortions and mechanical damage!
Operational safety significantly disturbed, uneven load distribution within the rope.
u Have the manufacturer check if the distorted and damaged area can be severed.

Visible form changes often occur localized or in short rope sections.


When a safe operation of the rope is ensured, a distorted and damaged area can be severed.

By bending the rope, broken wires can be recognized better.
Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
– The rope is clean
– Inspection checklist is on hand

14.1 Scattered occurring broken wires


The following different rope types each have their own chart for the permissible number of broken wi-
res:
– Single layer and parallel roped ropes
– Rotation resistant ropes
The charts in this section are valid exclusively for scattered occurring broken wires.

14.1.1 Wire break increase rate


The wire break increase rate is an increase of broken wires, which can skyrocket with increasing use
of the rope.
u Include the inspection checklists for the previous inspection and use it to draw a conclusion for the
wire break rate increase.

due to multi layer spooling on a winch.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Fig.121001: External abrasion on the rope


The rope diameter changes due to abrasion, settling and external influences.
Abrasion of cover wires of outer strands of rope due to frictional contact. Especially in those areas
where ropes are in contact with the rope pulleys during start up or slow down of the load.

copyright by
LTM 1400-7-1-007 1565
029943-00 8.04 Inspection of crane wire ropes

Wear is increased by lack of or incorrect lubrication and the effect of dust.


Abrasion reduces the tensile strength of steel ropes because the cross section of the steel is reduced.
Additional possible causes for reduction of rope diameter:
– Wear in the inside of the rope
– Wear of fiber insert
– Breakage of a steel insert
– Broken inner strands
This section is valid solely for the following ropes:
– Ropes, which spool up on single layer winches
– Ropes, which run through a steel rope pulley

16 Checking for corrosion


Corrosion occurs due to insufficient lubrication, in maritime climates and in an atmosphere polluted by
industrial fumes.
External corrosion is indicated by a rough wire surface. A superficial rust film can be wiped off.
Significant corrosion reduces the strength and elasticity of the rope due to the reduction of the rope
diameter.
Inner corrosion is hard to detect.
Do not use solvents to clean the rope.
Make sure that the following prerequisite is met:
– Rope is cleaned (wiped and brushed)

16.1 External corrosion


The various types of corrosion are classified and noted with the classification for removal criteria in
percentages:

Fig.120984: Surface light corrosion: Classification 0 % of removal criteria


Superficial light corrosion (rust film) can be wiped off.

outside: Classification 100 % of removal criteria.
u Check the rope diligently for friction corrosion.
If friction corrosion is found:
u Have the rope removal criteria evaluated by expert personnel for crane rope inspection or place
the rope down.

17 Corkscrew-like distortion

Fig.120988: Corkscrew-like distortion


Distortion where the rope is in the form of a corkscrew along its longitudinal axis.
Effects of corkscrew-like distortion:
– Irregular rope drive
– Rope wear
– Broken wire
– Bearing damage on rope pulleys
If the distortion is very pronounced, then other components can be affected in their function when the
affected rope section runs through in crane operation.
u Check the entire rope for corkscrew-like distortion.

20 Loop formation
At loop formation individual or several wires protrude from the rope and bulge upward (bird-caging).
These areas are most often on the opposite side of the rope pulley groove.
Make sure that the following prerequisite is met:
– There are no broken wire ends
If only a core wire of the rope insert protrudes through the outer strands, then the rope does not have
to be taken down when:
– the wire can be removed.
– the wire does not disturb other elements of the rope drive.

Fig.120993: Emergence of individual wires


u Check rope for loop formation.
When solely a core wire protrudes:
u Remove the core wire.
When several wires are affected from the loop formation:
u Take the rope down.

21 Flattenings
Rope sections with flattenings, which move over the rope pulleys tend to higher wear and a higher
number of broken wires. Rope pulleys can be damaged.
Flattenings on stationary ropes (guy ropes boom) promote quicker corrosion, especially in the areas
where the outer strands have opened. In these areas, moisture can penetrate significantly faster,
which makes it necessary to shorten the intervals between rope inspections. If the reduction of inter-
vals between rope inspections is not possible, then the rope must be taken down.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

LTM 1400-7-1-007 1573
029943-00 8.04 Inspection of crane wire ropes

Flattenings, which derive from the rising zones of the multi layer spoolings do not necessarily mean
that the rope has to be taken down. Prerequisite is that the number of permissible broken wires is not
exceeded, see section „Determining the number of broken wires“.

Fig.120996: Flattenings on multi layer spoolings


u Check the entire rope for flattenings.
When flattenings are present on stationary ropes:
u Shorten the intervals for rope inspection.
When it is not possible to shorten the intervals for the rope inspection:
u Take the rope down.
In the cross over area of the spooled up rope layers on the winch the rope is stressed more. The rope
can be flattened as a result.
When flattenings are in the area of the rising zones of multi layer spoolings:
u Check the number of permissible broken wires according to the respective chart, see section „De-
termining the number of broken wires“.
When the number of permissible broken wires is exceeded:
u Take the rope down.

LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Fig.120966: Maximum flattening of wires on the outer strands


When the outer strands are flattened by more than half the wire diameter:
u Document visible changes of the rope condition.
u Have the rope inspected by expert personnel for crane rope inspection or place the rope down.
When the rope can be shortened without reducing the operational safety:
u Shorten the rope on the rope drum fixed point, see Crane operating instructions, chapter 7.05.50.

22 Kinking or rope loops pulled closed

Fig.121007: Kinking or rope loop pulled closed


At this deformation a loop has formed in the rope, without the possibility to rotate around its own axis
during a load. The rope is subjected to more wear.
The rope is significantly distorted. The strength remains only in part.

Fig.121002: Positive Kinking


LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Fig.121003: Negative Kinking


u Check the rope for kinking or rope loops pulled closed.
When kinking or rope loops pulled closed occur:
u Take the rope down.

23 Buckles
Buckles are angular deformations. The rope was damaged due to external influences. Strong defor-
mations of the rope cause stronger wear.

Fig.120999: Severe buckle


A buckle is a serious matter if a fold is visible on the underside of the rope.
When buckles are present:
u Have the rope inspected by expert personnel for crane rope inspection.
When a distortion and degree of severity permits further operation:
u Shorten the inspection interval.
When the take down criteria is reached:
u Take the rope down.

24 Effects of heat, arcs


Damage caused to the rope by welding work, for example.
Unusual heat impact is visible by tempering colors and loss of lubricant.
When heat influence has occurred on the rope:
u Take the rope down.

25 Combined degree of severity


LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

Note
u For a method to determine the effect of a combined degree of severity and damage on the rope,
see DIN ISO 4309.

When the condition of the rope deteriorates, then often a combination of various causes occurs.
To determine the degree of severity, the expert personnel for crane rope inspection must:
– take varying damage into account, especially within a rope section
– evaluate the entire effect of the damage and the distortions
– decide about the operational safety of the rope
– evaluate if inspection intervals must be adjusted
– decide if the rope must be taken down
When the combined degree of severity is more than 100 %, then the rope must be taken down.

8.15 Inspection of guy rods 021714-03

1 General
Always check the entire length of the guy rods before every assembly.
Also check the concealed bearing surfaces and bores.

2 Repeat inspection of guy rods


The guy rods must be checked at least once a year by an expert according to VGB D6.
The inspection must be carried out by an authorized expert every 4 years.
If a load was dropped or if the crane was overloaded, an additional inspection by an expert is required.
The inspections must be documented.

DANGER
Risk of accident in case of guy rod failure!
u If the following damage is found, the guy rods may no longer be used and must be replaced imme-
diately!

2.1 Cracks and dents


The guy rods must be thoroughly inspected visually for cracks and dents.
If cracks are present, the guy rods must be replaced. Repairs are not permitted.

Note
u In case of doubt, the relevant areas must be carefully examined, for example with magnetic crack
detection!

2.2 Stretching
Check for guy rod stretching by measuring the guy rods.
The stretch may be no more than max. 0.2 %, for example 14 mm , for an initial dimension (L) of
7000 mm.

Note
u The initial dimension (L) of the guy rods is noted in the separate rod diagram!

2.3 Wear
Check the bores, pins and pin retainers for signs of wear.
LWE/LTM 1400-7-1-007/14626-02-02/en

2.4 Damaged paint


Check the paint on the guy rods at regular intervals (signs of corrosion).
Repair damaged paint.

Note
u The guy rods may not be stored in aggressive media, such as salt water!

2.5 Ductile distortion


After a ductile distortion, such as bending, the guy rods must be replaced.

1 Weighing error
Every weighing is afflicted with weighing errors.
The following weighing errors are possible:
– Measuring uncertainty of scale in use
– Friction influences of axle suspension
– Systematic measuring deviations due to incorrectly positioning of axles on the scale

NOTICE
The static weighing per axle with plate scales results in incorrect weighing results!
The above noted and additional error influences cause incorrect measuring results for the total weight
and axle loads in this weighing procedure.
u Weigh mobile cranes exclusively with one-part or two-part vehicle scales.
u Calculate the total weight and axle load as follows.
