How to Use the Air Inflator (Option)

Warning

Never stand facing the side of a tire when inflating it. The lock ring may fly off, causing serious injury or death. Use a tire guard to surround the tire and stand behind the tire treads to inflate it.

If the crane is equipped with an air inflator, the tires can be inflated directly from the pneumatic circuit of the crane as follows:

1. Remove the cap to the air-supply port. Connect the air inflator to the air-supply port.

5. Check the tire air pressure level with an air pressure gauge. If the pressure exceeds the specified level, bleed air off. Check air-pressure while the tires are not warm.

6. After the tires have been inflated, remove the air inflator from the air-supply port.

◆ Replace the caps on the crane air-supply port and the tire valves.

2. Remove the tire valve cap. Connect the other end of the air inflator to the tire valve.

3. Start the engine to drive the air compressor and inflate the tire.

◆ The tire can be inflated more quickly if the engine speed is increased.

4. Check the approximate air pressure level with the air pressure gauge in the cab. Remove the air inflator from the tire at the proper inflation pressure.

Emergency Procedures

If Trouble Occurs

If the Engine Stops while Traveling

Warning Warning

If trouble occurs to the carrier while traveling, reduce the carrier speed. Remain calm and beware of the cars behind you. Stop the carrier at a safe place.

Working on a stopped carrier in a tunnel is very dangerous. Do not attempt to do this however simple the job may seem to be.

If trouble occurs to the carrier and the carrier cannot move, take necessary measures as follows:

(1)When stalled on road

• Light the hazard lamp to let the cars behind know the trouble of your carrier.

• Ask for help to transport the carrier to a safe place.

• Inform the nearest TADANO distributor or dealer.

(2)When stalled in railroad crossing

• Press the emergency button provided in the crossing area to inform the coming train.

• If emergency button is not provided, position a person to make an approaching train know the trouble, considering the distance necessary for the train to stop.

• Ask for help to transport the carrier to a safe place.

• Inform the nearest TADANO distributor or dealer.

Indicate that this is a troubled car, first. Check the carrier for causes of trouble. If repairs are possible, perform repairs paying enough attention to the traffic. Among many causes for carrier stall, there is one for shift inoperability. In this case see “If Shifting Gears is Impossible”.

If the engine stops, steering can become extremely difficult if not impossible unless the crane is equipped with the emergency steering pump (option).

The emergency steering pump (optional) is connected directly to the transmission so steering can be continued even if the engine stops when traveling. Pull the crane over to a safe location. After the vehicle stops, follow the appropriate troubleshooting procedures.

◆ Power steering is not available when the engine is not running.

◆ The emergency steering pump runs only when the vehicle is traveling. When the crane stops, steering can not be performed.

If Shifting Gears is Impossible

Warning

The following procedure is to be followed only for moving the crane to a service shop for repair. Never use this procedure for other purposes.

Inspection with Check Switch

Shifting gears on this crane is performed electrically using a multiplex data transmitter system. Therefore, if this system malfunctions, an error number is displayed and shifting gears becomes impossible. Under this condition, press the multiplex data transmitter system check switch at the rear of the cab before attempting to shift gears. If error number disappears, the multiplex data transmitter system is again functioning normally.

◆ If the multiplex data transmitter system cannot be restored, follow the "Emergency Gear Shifting Procedure (1)" in the next section.

Emergency Gear Shifting Procedures (1)

Warning

When the emergency transmission switch is ON, the torque converter oil temperature gauge, water temperature gauge, and fuel gauge do not function. Be careful when traveling with the emergency transmission switch ON.

When the emergency transmission switch is ON, the safety device for engine protection does not function. Gearing down without slowing the crane’s travel speed can cause the engine to overrev or damage the drive system.

Before gearing down, be sure to reduce the traveling speed to the next slower range.

Lock-up function is inactive, so that there is no engine braking effect. Take care of excessive foot brake application.

1. Activate the parking brake. Shift into Neutral.

2. Snap the emergency transmission switch at the rear of the cab to ON. Operate the gearshift lever. Manually shift the gearshift lever into Second and First. If shifting gears is possible, move the crane to a service shop.

◆ After you have moved the crane, return the emergency transmission switch to OFF and lock it with the stopper.

◆ If the above procedure is not effective, follow the "Emergency Gear Shifting Procedure (2)" in the next section.

ShiftTransmissionSpeed range positiongearHiLo

“1” First0 to 6 MPH0 to 2.5 MPH

“2” Second0 to 13 MPH0 to 5.0 MPH

“D” Third 0 to 25 MPH0 to 10 MPH

“R” First0 to 6 MPH0 to 2.5 MPH

Emergency Gear Shifting Procedure (2)

Warning

A manual locking device for the solenoid valve is provided for moving the crane in case of emergency. Do not touch the locking device except in an emergency.

Before this operation, take the following safety precautions:

• Stop the engine.

• Apply chocks to the wheels.

• Light the hazard lamp to let the cars behind know the trouble of your carrier.

If the solenoid valve is manually locked, the vehicle begins to move as soon as the engine starts. Be sure to operate the parking brake and step on the service brake pedal, before starting the engine. Be sure to stop the engine and return the lock bolt of the solenoid valve to the original position immediately after the travel of the vehicle.

1. Activate the parking brake. Shift into Neutral and stop the engine.

2. Loosen the lock nut beside the solenoid valve for the transmission. Remove the hexagon bolt. Insert this hexagon bolt into the hole on the manual locking device of the corresponding solenoid valve. Turn it clockwise till it comes to an end. Lock it with the lock nut. The solenoid valve will be the same condition as energized to make the clutch operable.

◆ Select solenoid valve to go forward or backward.

3. Depress the service brake pedal and start the engine.

4. Release the parking brake. Start traveling by letting off the service brake pedal slowly.

Towing the Crane

Warning

When the engine stops and the crane is at rest, steering is impossible unless the crane is equipped with the emergency steering pump (optional).

The steering wheel feels very heavy, because the engine is not running.

When a crane is towed, only the foot brake can be used. If a crane is towed on a long downward grade, it will be necessary to use the foot brake repeatedly, possibly overheating and damaging the brake. On a long downward grade, stop the carrier halfway to prevent brake overheating. Use tow cables with sufficient tensile strength and firmly fastened to the crane. It is dangerous if the tow cable breaks or becomes disengaged.

Tow the crane at low speeds with minimum speed variation. Abrupt starting or braking is very dangerous.

When the crane must be towed in the event of engine failure, etc., follow the steps below:

Warning

If the plug is removed on the air-supply port with the air tank under pressure, the plug can fly off, resulting in an injury. Check the air pressure in the tank with the air pressure gauge. If the air pressure in the air tank remains high, open the drain cock on the air tank to release pressure, then remove the plug.

1. Connect the air hose.

(1)Remove the plug on the air-supply port of the crane in order to supply compressed air to the brake.

(2)Connect the air hose from the towing vehicle to the air-supply port (PT 3/8) of the crane.

2. Attach a lengthy tow cable so that sufficient clearance is maintained between the towing vehicle and the vehicle in distress.

[NOTICE]

◆ When a crane is towed, the transmission is not supplied with lubricating oil. Be sure to place the output shaft of the transmission in neutral before towing. Otherwise the transmission bearing of the towed vehicle may seize.

When towing is completed, remember to return the hexagonal head bolt to its original position.

3. Place the transmission output shaft in the neutral position.

(1)Remove the plug on the high/low changer of the transmission.

(2)Screw in the supplied hexagonal head bolt in place of the plug. This will place the output shaft in neutral.

(3)Screw the plug in the hole for the hexagonal head bolt.
