Swing-away lattice 4.4 Description of rigging work

On the 18 m (59ft) swing-away lattice

Connecting the lifting limit switch

• Fit the lifting limit switch (3) on to the clamp (2) and secure it with a retaining pin.

• Lay the connecting cable (4) in such a way that it will not be damaged during crane operation, and connect the lifting limit switch to the socket (1).

For operation with the 18 m (59 ft) swing-away lattice, the connection for the lifting limit switch must be overridden at the 11 m (36ft) swing-away lattice with the short-circuit plug.

Removing the lifting limit switch

• Pull the plug from the socket (1).

• Remove the lifting limit switch (3) from the clamp (2).

• Fasten the retaining pin to the lifting limit switch.

4.4.16 Installing/removing the anemometer

On the 11 m (36ft) swing-away lattice

The anemometer of the main boom is used on the lattice extension.

Mounting the anemometer

• Insert the rod (1) into the holder (3) and secure it with the retaining pins.

• Remove the cable of the anemometer from the clamps (2) and connect it to the socket(4).

• Lay the cable so that it will not be damaged during crane operation.

• Check that the anemometer is able to swing so that is hangs vertically even when the main boom is raised.

You must remove the anemometer before driving on the road.

SRisk of damage to the anemometer

Remove the anemometer for on-road driving. This prevents the anemometer from being damaged by wind (e.g. by suction currents caused by oncoming traffic in tunnels).

Removing the anemometer

• Take the plug out of the socket (4) and close the socket with the protective cap.

• Wind the cable on to the clamps (2).

• Take the rod (1) out of holder (3).

• For transportation, fasten the retaining pins to the rod (1).

4.4.17 Air traffic control light – electrical connection

The air traffic control light (additional equipment) is mounted on the grip of the anemometer.

Establishing an electrical connection

On the 11 m (36 ft) swing-away lattice:

• Install the anemometer; à p.4-83.

• Loosen the protective cap on the socket (1).

• Insert the plug of the air traffic control light into the socket (1).

On the 18 m (59 ft) swing-away lattice: r• Switch on the air traffic control light; à Operating instructions GMK5130-2/ 5110-1.

• Install the anemometer; à p.4-83.

• Loosen the protective cap on the socket (2).

• Insert the plug of the air traffic control light into the socket (2).

Disconnecting the electrical connection r• Switch off the air traffic control light; à Operating instructions GMK5130-2/ 5110-1.

On the 11 m (36 ft) swing-away lattice:

• Remove the plug of the air traffic control light from the socket (1).

• Cover the socket (1) with the protective cap.

• Remove the anemometer; à p.4-83.

On the 18 m (59 ft) swing-away lattice:

• Remove the plug of the air traffic control light from the socket (2).

• Cover the socket (2) with the protective cap.

• Remove the anemometer; à p.4-83.

4.4.18 Swing-away lattice, derricking

HThis section is only valid for the derricking swing-away lattice.

• In order to enable the derricking of the swing-away lattice the SLI code must be set for the current rigging mode; à Setting the SLI, p.4-99.

When rigging

With the button unit

The swing-away lattice is derricked as long as the corresponding button is pressed or until the end position or a switch-off point is reached.

–To raise:Press button (1)

–To lower:Press button (2)

With the hand-held control

Derricking the swing-away lattice is enabled at the sockets (1) and (2).

Connection to the socket (2) is not suitable for rigging since you cannot see the folded swingaway lattice from this point.

This socket (2) is intended for emergency operation.

• Connect the hand-held control to the socket(1).
