1.3 Overview and contents of truck crane user information
1.3.1 Operating instructions for driving and crane operation
These instructions contain the information required to operate the truckcrane. The operating instructions are divided into two parts. Part 1, comprising Chapters 1 to 10, describes how the truck crane is driven. Part 2, comprising Chapters 11 to 17, describes how to operate the crane.
In Chapter2 you will find Basic safety instructions. Please read and observe these instructions, even if you are familiar with the safety manual. The Basic safety instructions are only contained in this chapter. Special safety instructions that relate to specific hazards are described in the section containing the operation with which the hazard is associated.
Chapter3 contains Information for applications engineering. It is intended primarily for the truck crane operator and those responsible for applications engineering. This chapter contains the following: –The qualifications required for those involved in operations planning for the truck crane –Special safety instructions –Information that is relevant to operations planning
In Chapter4 to Chapter6 you will find information which is necessary for Driving the truck crane: a description of all structural and operational components, clearly defined check lists for rigging modes and rigging work and the operating instructions for road and off-road driving.
Chapter7 gives information on Rigging for road driving.
In Chapter8 you will find information on Troubleshooting when driving.
Chapter9 contains the Technical description of the individual parts and functional elements of the carrier as well as the Technical data.
s
Chapter10 contains the index at the end of Part 1 - Driving.
Chapter11 to Chapter13 contain the information necessary for Operating the crane section, i.e. for working with the truck crane: a description of all components and control elements, information about operating the crane engine as well as the crane itself.
Chapter14 deals with rigging the truck crane. There are individual sections with information on Selecting a suitable site, rigging of Outriggers and Counterweight and on Rigging work on the main boom.
Chapter15 provides information on Troubleshooting when operating the crane.
Chapter16 contains the Technical description of the individual parts and functional elements of the superstructure as well as the Technical data.
The Index in Chapter17, at the end of Part 2 - Crane operation, will help you to find certain operations and terms in the operating instructions.
If the truck crane has been equipped with a lattice extension, a boom extension, an auxiliary single-sheave boom top, or other additional equipment, the corresponding operating instructions (e.g. the operating instructions for the Lattice extension) will be supplied. These contain all the information about combination possibilities, rigging, operation, transportation and the technical data of the additional equipment.
1.3.3 Maintenance manual
The maintenance manual is intended for maintenance personnel. The maintenance manual does not contain information on repair work. The maintenance manual consists of –Instructions for cleaning the truck crane –Run-in regulations –Inspection and servicing intervals –Maintenance tables –Specifications for the required lubricants and fuels –A description of the maintenance work on both the vehicle section and crane section
1.3.4 Lifting capacity tables
These tables contain data concerning the load bearing capacity, the permissible wind speed and the SLI code of the truck crane in various rigging modes and boom positions.
1.3.5 Outrigger pressure tables
These tables contain data concerning the outrigger pressure on the pressure points of the support in relation to the load, radius, rigging mode and boom direction.
1.3.6 Safety manual
The Safety manual is intended to warn the crane operator of the hazards that may occur during normal operation of the truck crane. It illustrates how to avoid these hazards from the onset and how to react should they occur.
The Safety manual contains: –General safety instructions –Safety instructions that apply to truck crane driving –Safety instructions for rigging and working with truck cranes –Safety instructions for crane operation under specific operating conditions Observing the information and carrying out the measures which are given in the Safety manual is the responsibility of the crane operator and a prerequisite for operating the truck crane safely.
1.3.7 Circuit diagrams
Circuit diagrams are used for troubleshooting and are intended for trained maintenance personnel and CraneCARE at the respective location. Enclosed are: –The compressed-air circuit diagram –The hydraulic circuit diagram and –The electrical circuit diagram.
