SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE BI-FOLD MANUAL BOOM EXTENSION
-
is folded up at the side of the main boom for transportation or
-
is completely removed for transportation.
DANGER To prevent serious injury or death, always wear personal protective equipment; i.e., a hard hat, eye protection, gloves and metatarsal boots. 1.
Before installing the boom extension make sure the crane is set up on outriggers using normal setup p r o c e d u r e s . R e f e r t o S e c t i o n 3 - O P E R AT I N G CONTROLS and PROCEDURES.
NOTE:
An auxiliary crane with sling is required to install the bi-fold boom extension.
2.
Check the transport condition of the bi-fold extension.
3.
Using an auxiliary crane, attach sling to the bi-fold extension.
4.
Lift the bi-fold extension in front of the main boom with the auxiliary crane and lock the 33 ft (10.1 m) section to the right of the main boom head Figure 4-9.
DANGER Be careful not to damage the lattice extension and the main boom. Always put the lattice extension into transport condition when folded at the side or working with the main boom. Only then is the lattice extension secured against slipping. This way you prevent the partly fastened lattice extension hitting the main boom or the individual components of the lattice extension hitting each other and becoming damaged. You must check transport condition: -
After stowing the lattice extension, before you drive the crane with the lattice extension folded at the side or work with the main boom.
-
Before installation and before erecting the lattice extension.
Transport condition with lattice extension folded at the side The transport condition with the lattice extension folded at the side is created when all of the following connections are established. •
Check the connections and establish them if necessary Figure 4-10.
If 23 ft (7 m) section and 33 ft (10.1 m) section are folded at the side: FIGURE 4-9 5.
Pin the left side to the boom nose.
6.
Establish electrical connection between the extension and the main boom.
7.
For units equipped with hydraulic luffing boom extension, establish hydraulic connections between the extension and the main boom.
NOTE:
You can also install the bi-fold swingaway boom extension in front of a 16 ft (4.9 m) section when you are changing directly from the 56 ft (17.1 m) bifold swingaway extension to a boom extension.
-
The 33 ft (10.1 m) section is locked at the front mount (2) on the main boom Figure 4-10.
-
The pins (4) are inserted on the pivot point between the 23 ft (7 m) section and the 33 ft (10.1 m) section Figure 4-10.
-
The connection (8) in the middle area is between the 23 ft (7 m) section/33 ft (10.1 m) section Figure 4-10.
-
The connection (8) between 23 ft (7 m) section and m a i n b o o m i n t h e r e a r a r e a i s e s ta b l i s h e d Figure 4-10.
If the 23 ft (7 m) section only is folded at the side:
Checking the Transport Condition For transportation you must establish certain connections between both parts of the lattice extension. The connections which need to be established depend on whether the lattice extension:
