Advice on safety when using mobile cranes.

INTRODUCTION Terex® cranes are carefully designed, tested and manufactured.

When used correctly by qualified operators, they ensure safe and reliable performance. Terex® has branches worldwide and is at your disposal for any information regarding products and their safe use.

The following crane is designed for handling loads in compliance with the capacity table and the instructions contained in this manual.

The machine must be used in conformity with current laws and regulations in the country concerned.

Never lift persons with the crane if it is not equipped with a special platform for carrying persons, authorized and supplied by the manufacturer.

Do not use the mobile crane for demolitions or for pushing or dragging objects with the boom.

Whenever the hook has to be used for operations other than handling material, the manufacturer's prior permission is required.

Normal working conditions provide for an average operating period of 8 hours a day, 5 days a week in normal environmental conditions at not more than 1000 metres a.s.l For more intensive use or in more difficult environmental conditions (high temperatures, dusty or damp places, etc.) the crane must be used with more precautions, checking it more frequently and increasing the frequency of lubrication and maintenance.

Having the capacity to lift heavy loads to considerable heights, the cranes are potentially dangerous if the safety regulations are not respected. These pages will help the operator avoid accidents that could cause damage or injury.

The general advice on machine operation as well as these instructions must be followed.

Chapter III – ed. 04-2012

Operation and maintenance manual

Safety and operation

OPERATOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES Safety must be the operator's main concern.

He must refuse to operate if he deems it dangerous and must contact the person in charge whenever safety is uncertain.

He must read and understand the Operator's Manual, the load tables and make sure that everything is in order on the machine before operating.

He must be alert, in optimal physical condition and not be under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicines that affect the sight, hearing or reflexes.

He must keep persons, equipment and materials away from the work zone. Also, the zone around the machine must be adequate marked.

Whenever the operator's visibility is blocked or he is operating in hazardous areas, e.g. near power lines or around persons, he must use the help of a signaller.

As the operator is not in the best position for judging distances and is unable to see all the worksite, a signaller may have to be used also in other situations. Operators must understand the standard signals for cranes and only follow the signals of the appointed signallers.

SIGNALLER'S RESPONSIBILITY The signaller's main task is to help the operator work in the most efficient way in safe conditions. Operators depend on the appointed signallers in order to move without causing damage or injuring persons.

Signallers must have clearly understood the work to be performed in order to safely coordinate every task of the operators and personnel.

Signallers must stand in a place where they can be clearly seen and from where they can safely observe the entire operation.

The standard signals for cranes must be used unless other signalling methods, such as two-way radios or flags, are agreed on.

Signallers must have good eyesight and good judgement, and must know the standard signals for cranes and be able to give signals clearly. They must have sufficient experience for recognizing risks and signalling the operator how to avoid them.

The signaller is the only person authorized to give instructions to the operator.

Safety and operation

RESPONSIBILITIES OF ALL RELEVANT PERSONNEL Unsafe conditions or operations must be adequately corrected or notified to the person in charge of work.

Anyone working around the cranes must obey the danger signs and pay attention to their own safety and that of others. Load handling personnel must know the relevant safety procedures.

Pay attention to risks that can arise during operations and warn the operator and signallers of hazards such as power lines, the unexpected presence of persons, other equipment or unsure ground.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES Management's task is to ensure that operators have adequate training and competence, are in optimal physical condition and, if necessary, that they have a driving licence.

Good eyesight, judgement, coordination and an alert mind are necessary Those lacking any of these requisites are not allowed to operate the crane.

Crane operators must have received adequate training to be able to determine weights and distances, for correctly choosing and using the lifting winch. This work is a complex subject that will not be discussed in this manual. Management must ensure that personnel receive adequate training.

Personnel must be given specific responsibilities on safety and are required to inform the persons in charge of any condition involving danger for persons or things.

Operation and maintenance manual

PLANNING THE WORKSITE The person appointed must clearly understand the work to be carried out, consider all the dangers existing on the worksite, and prepare a plan enabling execution of the work in safe conditions which must be notified to all those concerned. Factors such as the following must be taken into consideration: - The personnel needed and their responsibilities?

- The weight of the load to be lifted, lifting radius, boom angle and nominal lifting capacity of the crane?

- The way the signaller will communicate with the operator?

- The equipment necessary for performing the work in safe conditions?

- How the equipment can be taken safely to the worksite?

- Any gas or power lines or structures to be removed or avoided?

- If the ground is strong enough to take the weight of the machine and the load?

- How the loads will be restrained?

- Special safety precautions to be taken if the crane has to travel with a suspended load or if other cranes are necessary to lift a load?

- If unfavourable weather conditions, such as wind or intense cold, are forecast?

- Measures to be taken for safely keeping unnecessary persons and equipment away from the work zone?

- How the cranes can be positioned for using the shortest possible boom and reach?

Safety and operation

SAFETY CHECK BY OPERATOR Every day before starting work the operator must carry out a safety check to ensure that everything is in order on the machine. Some of these checks include the following: - Check the log book on board the machine to verify that the periodical maintenance and inspections as well as all the necessary repairs have been carried out.

- Check operation of the boom lifting cylinder, auxiliary alarms and other safety devices.

- Carefully inspect the load supporting parts such as wire ropes, (load rope, lifting rope on the winch, suspension ropes), boom, outriggers and hooks.

- Ensure that no unauthorized modifications have been in the field, such as added counterweights and booms repaired in an improper way.

- Check for any hydraulic oil and air leaks.

- Before starting the engine, check the cooling water and lubrication oil levels.

- After starting the engine, check that the readings are correct on all gauges.

- Check correct operation of all the controls.

- Check the truck brakes. Test the load brakes by lifting and supporting a load at a few cm from the ground.

page 8/66

Chapter III – ed. 04-2012

Safety and operation

Operation and maintenance manual

OPERATION PRECAUTIONS 1. Mistakes in calculating lifting capacity can cause accidents, therefore several factors must be taken into consideration, viz The load radius is the distance between the crane upper structure rotation axis and the centre of the boom head sheaves. Remember that the radius increases if the load is lifted due to flexing of the boom.

Weight of load, block and any lifting equipment.

Length of boom, number of tackles, work area (front, rear or side) and possible extensions or jibs.

Use the load immediately below if the capacity or work radius are not given in the capacity table.

Attempting to lift a load not given in the capacity table, trying to guess the capacity for boom lengths, radius or angle is extremely dangerous as the crane could sway or tip over during lifting Always keep within the nominal capacity given in the table.

The operator must reduce the load in relation to the unfavourable conditions in the worksite and appraise the possibility of lifting loads in complete safety.

2. The cranes can tip over or sway if the work surface is unable to take their weight. Wooden boards, steel plates or cement slabs may have to be placed under the outrigger support plates to distribute the load under the crane so that the supporting strength of the ground is not exceeded.

Determine the load supporting capacity of the ground or other surface on which the machines will be operating. Make sure the ground can support the crane. Avoid unstable, soft, sandy ground, areas with high water-tables and partially frozen ground. If the machines work near excavations, these must be supported or filled in order to avoid landslips or sliding.

3. The working load capacity of a crane is established with the crane levelled.

Make sure the crane is level and that all the tyres are raised above the ground in order to obtain the correct values given in the table of load “On outriggers”.

4. The scissor action produced by the rotation of the upper part with respect to the base can crush or injure persons.

Keep away from the crane in the rotation phase, mark the work zones and always make sure no one is within the crane's operating range.

5. Persons can be struck by the rear part of the counterweight of the machine if there is insufficient free space. Before starting work, perform a trial rotation without load to establish the exact rotation radius.

Chapter III – ed. 04-2012

page 9/66

Operation and maintenance manual

Safety and operation

6. Many persons have been involved in accidents caused by the hook or the suspended load, therefore to avoid that risk, always keep outside the machine work area.

Do use the crane to lift persons. Use ladders, scaffolding, lift trucks or other specific equipment for lifting persons, but do not use the cranes.

7. Power lines can also be the cause of accidents. Such accidents can be avoided by respecting some simple rules.

Always establish where the high-tension lines are before starting work.

It is advisable to keep more than 7 m away from high-tension lines Inform the company responsible for the high-tension lines before starting work.

Use a helper to maintain a safe distance between the machine and the high-tension lines. The operator is not in the best position for judging the distances. Warn persons to permanently keep away from the machine.

If the load has to shifted for positioning, check the relevant precautions with the company that manages the power lines. Operate slowly, taking the time necessary for being able to react to a possible problem and with 2 different means check the distance between the high-tension lines and any part of the machine.

What to do in case of accidental contact.

What to be done is not based on regulations but depends on an analysis of the immediate risks. This must be the subject of rules fixed for the operator or his training.

• The equipment or the machine is able to operate: without leaving the cab, the operator must immediately move the machine away from the live electrical work.

• The equipment or the machine is unable to function: Without leaving the cab the operator must alert other persons by means of signals or verbally, informing them that they must not approach the machine or the equipment. (Risk of hazardous voltages on the structure of the machine or equipment for the entire duration of the incident). Whenever the operator has to leave the cab, he must jump down from it so as not to be in contact with the ground and the machine at the same time.

Once on the ground he must move away from the machine: jumping, with both feet together. with very small steps.

The machine can only be subsequently approached after making sure that the power line is definitively no longer live and after checking the actual absence of current (operation carried out in collaboration with the electricity company).

Chapter III – ed. 04-2012

Safety and operation

Operation and maintenance manual

• The machine operates on tyres: after contact of a machine operating on tyres with a high-tension overhead work, the tyres (with metal carcass) that were not destroyed do not retain their insulating property or their strength. If not occurring immediately, the tyres often burst later, after prolonged exposure to the sun.

The tyres must be deflated and scrapped, after the machine has been taken off the power line.

CAUTION: properly planned work and thorough checks ensure better protection than any other safety device. Insulated cages or proximity sensors have limits and can have failures without signalling them. The protection cables or insulated cages only protect the machine, therefore they can be current conductors due to dust or water.

The proximity sensors can be disturbed by different combinations of high-tension lines or by the movements of vehicles or material and the crane itself or by other factors. Relying only on these systems can be very dangerous as the operator believes he is protected, whereas this is not so.

In case of storms, take the following precautions: - if possible, support the load and completely retract the boom.

- if caught by a sudden storm, switch off the heat engine and leave the machine.

- if the machine is struck by lightning, check general machine operation before restarting it.

You must always know the weather forecasts of your area before starting work.

8. The lifting rope can break if the load knocks against the boom head.

This can occur during boom lowering or extension without keeping the rope under control.

When positioning the rope, make sure it passes properly in the limit stop device safety counterweight.

Always check the space between the hook and the boom head.

Lower the hook during extension to avoid this type of accident.

Regularly check the limit stop safety system.

9. Persons can be injured by the hook, boom, load or outriggers.

Ensure that those working around the machine are safely in their place before starting to move the hook, load or outriggers. Do not move loads above persons, and do not allow the load to knock or bounce on any objects.

10. Abrupt starting or rotation movements can cause the hook and its load to sway dangerously and loss of control of the load.

Chapter III – ed. 04-2012

page 11/66

Operation and maintenance manual

Safety and operation

11. The crane control system makes it possible to perform several movements at the same time.

In this case, the operator must use the maximum level of attention.

12. Dirty or dark windows, glare, fog, rain and other conditions can make it hard for the operator to see clearly.

Keep the windows clean. Only drive if you can do so in complete safety.

13. Wind can also cause loss of control of the load, breaking the boom and overturning the machine. The wind can be stronger aloft than at ground level.

Do not lift in uncertain wind conditions. Lower the boom if necessary.

See the capacity tables.

14. Always wait until the machine, hook or suspended load are completely still before getting off the machine. Always use two hands and make sure of your footing.

15. Slippery platforms, ladders, tools or other similar objects can cause falls.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MACHINE CLEAN AND DRY. 16. A damaged crane can be dangerous and cause accidents.

A telescopic crane must be checked every week to make sure there are no basic or guide block defects. In both these cases the reduction in solidity is very difficult to assess.

Inspect the crane rope and boom every day. Do not use a damaged boom or rope.

NOTE: Because the booms are made of high-strength steel, special procedures must be adopted when carrying out any repairs.

Always consult your dealer or the manufacturer before carrying out repairs.

17. The crane booms can twist or deform under the effect of lateral loads (lateral stress).

Typical cases of lateral stress are: - Abrupt swinging due to starting or stopping.

- Side dragging of a load.

- The wind force.

- Lifting when the crane is not level.

Take care to avoid unnecessary side forces.

18. If the boom is used for purposes other than lifting it could break.

Never allow the boom to bend abnormally under the effect of a load or other objects.

19. The load slings or ropes stretch when the load is lifted and contract when the load is released; at steep boom angles this operation can be enough to tip the crane over.

Chapter III – ed. 04-2012

Safety and operation

Operation and maintenance manual

20. The load can go out of control if it is not properly aligned with the boom head when lifted. This can cause a lateral stress that can cause tipping or breakage of the crane.

Always put the boom head directly above the load to be lifted.

21. Trying to lift a load that is blocked, frozen or stuck to something else can cause overturning or the breakage of a lifting part.

Always make sure the loads are free.

22. For correct use of the lifting winch and rope, there must be at least three dead turns of the rope on the drum. Regularly check the safety system.

23. Attempting to repair or adjust a machine component when the load or hook are suspended is very dangerous because there could be a sudden lowering of the load or any unintentional manoeuvre of the system.

Always lower the load to the ground and put the boom in the rest position (horizontal) before performing any repairs, maintenance or adjustments.

24. The hydraulic oil in the machine circuit can remain pressurized for long periods, If not adequately released before any maintenance, this pressure could cause sudden movements of parts, sudden jets of oil or breakage of any hydraulic lines loosened during maintenance.

Always release the pressure before any maintenance, repair or adjustment of machine parts.

25. The lattice elements connected to the boom by means of forks can break if not properly fixed.

Make sure the ends all of extensions, jibs or braces are securely fixed; never stand on the boom or equipment to be installed during its assembly.

26. As with all heavy equipment, pay particular attention to movements carried out with the crane on the worksite or the road.

Watch out for personnel, pay attention to high-tension lines, narrow or low passages such as bridges, roads with load restrictions, steep climbs or descents and uneven ground. Use a helper in case of movements in narrow spaces.

Knowing the height, width and weight of your vehicle is very important.

Completely retract the outriggers, put the boom in the horizontal position, fix the hook and block the rotation before travelling.

Operation and maintenance manual

Safety and operation

27. Shifting loads with the crane moving involves a considerable increase in risk. Manually block rotation with the pin located in the operator's cab, observe the precautions described in point 26, reduce the vehicle's speed to minimum, always keep within the capacities indicated in the load table, keep the weight to be moved near the crane and as close as possible to the ground, avoiding abrupt swaying; if necessary fix the load to the crane. Inflate the tyres to the pressure given in the table located in the operator's cab.

The crane could overturn if these precautions are not correctly observed.

28. The use of more than one crane for handling loads considerably increases the risks compared with handling or lifting loads with just one crane. This operation must only be carried out under the supervision of a person in charge of manoeuvres. It must be studied very carefully and several points such as the following must be taken into consideration: - Carefully study the load to be handled in order to be sure that during the operation the lifting capacity of each crane is adequate for the load.

- Make sure the slings are arranged for distributing the load evenly.

- Before lifting, check the lifting plan with all the personnel concerned.

- Carefully coordinate the crane movements before every lifting phase.

- Avoid side loads or abrupt movements.

29. Leaving the machine unattended can be very dangerous. Before leaving the operator's seat, make sure that: - The load is touching the ground.

- The brake and rotation are locked.

- The emergency brake is applied.

- The engine is off and the gears are in neutral.

- The ignition key is turned off.

If the machine is to be abandoned for prolonged periods, and at the end of each working day, lock the cab door and disconnect the batteries by means of the battery isolator switch.

30. The lifting ropes must be inspected every day to check if they need replacing. See the inspection form in the manual or directly contact the rope manufacturers for further information.

The rope must be replaced if it twisted, crushed, or has knots, abrasions, marked bends or any other damage that can cause deformation of its structure.

WARNING: Do not use bare hands to guide the wire rope on drums.

31. Incorrect securing of the rope can cause giving or loss of the load.

The rope thimbles must be fitted in the wedge so that the loaded side of the rope is in a straight line with the edge of the thimble and not bent by the wedge. The rope must pass through the counterweight of the safety device fixed to the head of the boom or the extension.

Operation and maintenance manual

Maintenance  All maintenance operations must be carried out by qualified personnel.  For maximum safety during machine maintenance, it advisable to use only one operator. If several operators are required, they must have a clear idea of the work to be performed in order ensure perfect coordination of the manoeuvres. Everyone's safety must be the main concern of operators.  Do not perform any repairs on the machine that you are unable to complete.  Do not allow unauthorized persons to stand on the machine during maintenance.  It is advisable to wear face and eye protection when performing maintenance operations. Use a hammer with soft head (e.g. plastic, wood, brass or leather) for hammering on equipment or hardened metal surfaces.  Only start the engine in well-ventilated places (risk of intoxication by exhaust gas).  Apply the parking brake, block the wheels and place warning signs on the control levers during maintenance operations.  Always use suitable equipment for maintenance, and replace or repair worn or deteriorated equipment.  Check the cooling circuit with the engine switched off. Undo the radiator cap gradually, to slowly release the pressure in the circuit.

Pay attention to the steam, to avoid scalding.  Use the cleaning solutions with care.  Wear head and ear protectors for interventions requiring the use of compressed air. Max. air pressure: 2 bar.  Keep a suitable distance away from moving belts and fans.  For your safety, only use original replacement parts.  Arc welding of parts on the machine can deteriorate mechanical, electrical or electronic parts and compromise the machine's safety.

Carry out welding work only after: - fixing the earth terminal as close as possible to the zone for welding - disconnecting the two poles of batteries - disconnecting all the electrical and electronic devices.  After every maintenance operation check correct working of the repaired parts before using the machine.

Operation and maintenance manual

Safety and operation

Electrical circuit  Before carrying out any work on the electrical part, disconnect the battery and remove the ignition key.  Do not make electrical connections or disconnections without knowing the system. An incorrect connection can cause serious injury or damage.  Never check the battery level by connecting the poles with metal objects. The electric arcs produced can cause an explosion. Use a voltmeter or ammeter.  Do not smoke or use naked flames when checking the battery fluid levels. The batteries give off flammable vapours.  Do not top-up the battery levels with acid; restore the level with distilled water.  If the electrolyte of a battery is frozen, the battery could explode if put under charge or if you try to start the machine using another battery.

To prevent freezing of the electrolyte always keep the batteries fully charged.  Never wear metal rings or wrist-watches, as these objects risk earthing the live circuit and therefore causing burns and injuries.  When using an external power source for starting the machine, connect the earth cable last and disconnect it first, in order to avoid sparks that could be produced near the batteries, causing explosions.

Chapter III – ed. 04-2012

Safety and operation

Operation and maintenance manual

Hydraulic circuit  The hydraulic system works at a very high pressure (300 bars).

The oil that could come out of even small holes risks perforating human tissues and causing serious injuries, therefore it is advisable to use a piece of wood, and not hands, to check for leaks. If the hydraulic fluid perforates your skin, see a doctor immediately.  Make sure the circuit is not pressurized before disconnecting hydraulic lines or components. Check the tightness when reconnecting the lines or components.  Hydraulic oil is flammable, therefore do not weld components that are full of oil.  The oil and components in which it circulates are hot and can cause burns, thus avoid any contact.  After an operation on the hydraulic system it is essential to have a specialized technician bleed the air.  The reservoir plug is under pressure.  The temperature of the hydraulic oil is affected by the weather conditions and the work load of the hydraulic components.

These changes in temperature affect the expansion properties of the hydraulic oil. For this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to changes, sometimes very significant, in the position of the boom and outrigger cylinders. The position of a raised and extracted boom, with or without a load, can vary over time without any retraction or lowering operations being performed. These movements are caused by the change in temperature of the hydraulic oil.

Tyres  The tyre inflation pressures refer to cold tyres. Inflation and checking must be carried out when the tyres are cold. Never inflate a hot tyre.  For your safety and that of others, every 100 hours check the tightness of the wheel nuts using the wrench supplied with the vehicle.  Check the tyres on the vehicle unloaded, always using an inflation safety cage when the wheel is not on the vehicle.  To avoid the risk of accident during and immediately after inflation, do not stand in front of the wheel and make sure to use a sufficiently long tube for inflating.  Deflate the tyres before removing any stones from the tread.  Never intervene on a rim with tyre inflated.

Replacing the tyres 1. Loosen the wheel nuts a little 2. Lift the machine on the outriggers with the wheels slightly off the ground 3. Unscrew the nuts and remove the wheel 4. Fit the new wheel, fixing the wheel nuts without tightening them 5. Lower the machine and retract the outriggers, tighten the wheel nuts (tighten in a diagonal sequence) and adjust the torque setting according to the following table.

6. Retighten the wheel nuts after 16 hours' operation.

Extension secured to brackets When the extension or jib is secured to brackets alongside the main boom the “bracketed weight” as given in the notes of the “load tables” must be subtracted from the gross load given in the load tables to calculate the net capacity of the crane.

Mounted extension When the same extension or jib is mounted on the boom head the “mounted weight” as given in the notes of the “load table” must be subtracted from the gross load given in the load tables to calculate the net capacity of the crane. This load reduction must only be applied if the lifting operation is carried out with the main boom, and not when carried out with the extension or jib.

Subtract the bracketed weight of the jib from the gross load.

Special instructions for lifting on outriggers The loads on outriggers authorized by the capacity tables are to be deemed valid only if the following conditions are met: - Wheels completely raised above the ground - Machine stabilized horizontally, referring to the level located in the operator's cab.

NOTE: Levelling must be carried out with no load attached to the hook and with the boom fully retracted and facing the front or rear of the carrier.

- Firm ground under the outrigger support plates.

- If necessary provide for stabilization with wooden boards to increase the support surface.

CAUTION: During superstructure slewing movements with no load and during lifting operations, the accuracy of the level indication may be impaired by distortion of the crane structure. This situation will not affect correct stabilization of the machine.

Lifting of an outrigger support plate off the ground The lifting of an outrigger support plate off the ground when the load passes over the opposite outrigger is not a sign of imminent tipping over of the machine.

However, when this occurs and if the stabilization conditions are normal, check that: - The outrigger beam on the load side is correctly extended.

- The wheels are raised above the ground as indicated in the capacity tables on outriggers.

- The load lifted does not exceed the permissible value.

- The support plate has not sunk in the ground under the weight of the load.

- The frame is not deformed due to incorrect stabilization.

Safety and operation

Safety devices Load and movement limiter The limiter is designed to provide the crane operator with essential and necessary information for operating the crane with safety. Using various sensors, the limiter controls the various crane functions and offers the operator a constant display of the crane's capacity. The display changes constantly according to the different crane movements necessary for handling the load.

The load limiter provides the crane operator with information on the boom length and angle, the nominal load lifted and the maximum liftable load in the particular configuration selected. When the crane approaches non-permissible conditions, the limiter warns the crane operator with an acoustic alarm and an indicator light and deactivates any functions that can aggravate the crane's condition to prevent overload conditions: Winch lifting.

Telescopic boom raising Telescopic boom lowering.

Telescopic boom extension.

The limiter is an indispensable device that prevents dangerous situations for the crane operator and the crane. Like all safety systems, the limiter cannot cover all human errors. The crane operator must always be aware of the operations he is carrying out.

WARNING: The limiter is unable to recognise the machine stabilization configuration automatically (outrigger beams partially or totally extended or retracted, lifting on tyres); it is therefore the operator's responsibility to program the limiter with the stabilization configuration corresponding to the configuration with which the crane is effectively operating.

WARNING: A special device allows the limiter to be inhibited, in the event of it failing, so that all crane functions are enabled Crane operations performed with the limiter inhibited are exclusively and entirely the responsibility of the crane operator or worksite manager. Terex® will not accept liability for any accidents that could occur using the crane with the limiter inhibited.

Limit stop device In compliance with the safety regulations, the crane truck is equipped with: 1. Lifting limit stop device that blocks the manoeuvre, preventing the block from getting too close to the boom head 2. A “three dead turns” lowering limit stop device that prevents complete unwinding of the rope from the winch drum.

When the limit stops cut-in blocking the lifting or lowering manoeuvre, just to carry out the opposite manoeuvre to that which led to the blocking in order to restore full efficiency of all the crane controls.

For safety reasons, it is extremely important to maintain the efficiency of the limit stop device, therefore we recommend checking its operation daily.

Safety and operation

Lowering limit stop device The purpose of the lowering limit stop device is to stop the winch lowering movement when there are only three turns of the rope on the drum; in this condition the feeler tilts, touching the winch drum and activating the microswitch that interrupts the safety electrical circuit, blocking the lowering movement.

In this condition, the lifting movement that will bring the device within its normal operating limits can be activated.

“Three dead turns” safety switch adjustment method: - Unwind the rope so that 3 turns remain wound on the winch - If the 3 dead turns safety device is inactive, turn adjuster screw (A - B) to move the cam until you hear the switch trip.

- Then carry out the lifting operation in descent to check that the safety is active.

- Wind the rope additional turns and test the safety of the movement.

The “3 dead turns” safety contactors must disconnect the winch hook descent functions.

A. B.

Periodically check feeler wear and operate the device adjustment or replace the feeler.

NOTE: In the event of rope replacement, the safety device must be readjusted.

Safety and operation

Deadman Safety Device To guarantee the safety of the machine and driver, there are switches on each hand control. They prevent crane movements when the operator does not grip the hand controls or does not select the outrigger control.

Machine operation Introduction This section and the safety regulations for mobile cranes given at the beginning of the manual must be carefully read before driving the machine.

Always respect the following precautions to ensure operation in safe conditions: • Always check the capacity table to know the maximum load that can be lifted with different boom angles, lengths and other factors that can be taken into consideration during load handling.

• Always start the machine using an engine speed suitable for the load to be handled.

• If the load is likely to sway, always keep it as close as possible to the machine and the ground.

• During boom extension or lowering to prevent the block from striking the boom head operate the winch to unwind the rope.

Preliminary checks Every day, before using the machine, clean all the windows, screens, lights and rear-vision mirrors to ensure good visibility for the operator.

Adjust the operator's seat so that it is comfortable and suitable for the machine operator.

Checks to be carried out before starting the machine: - Engine oil level - Transmission / gearbox oil level - Fuel level - Hydraulic oil level - Engine coolant level - Brake fluid level - Cab heating (when provided) fuel level - Windscreen washer liquid level - Winch rope

6. The parking brake must be applied.

7. Turn the ignition switch to the second position to start the engine.

NOTE: The engine cannot be started if the gear lever is not in the neutral position “N”.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the starter motor, do not operate it continuously for more than 30 seconds at a time. If within that time, the engine fails to start, wait a couple of minutes before trying again, but do not operate the starter for more than 15-20 seconds.

If the engine still does not start, wait for the starter motor to cool before trying again and make sure the gearshift lever is in the neutral position “N”.

IMPORTANT: When operating the crane at temperatures below 0°C, after starting the engine and before using the crane, allow the engine to idle for several minutes to allow the hydraulic oil to reach its working temperature.

When the engine has started and idles normally: the oil pressure and battery level lights go out, and the air pressure warning light goes out when the pressure reaches 5.5 bars.

The parking brake light stays on.

NOTE: Do not use the machine until the air pressure lights are extinguished.

Switching off the engine Before switching the machine off, allow the engine to idle for a few seconds.

IMPORTANT: Do not stop the engine if the gear lever is not in the neutral position “N”.

Never accelerate before switching the engine off, as this could damage the turbocharger due to lack of lubrication.

Safety and operation

Operation and maintenance manual

Driving on the worksite For travel operations without a load, depending on the distance and the type of terrain, it is advisable to: 1. align the turret with the carrier (boom on the front end).

2. insert the manual slewing locking pin.

3. secure the block to the front of the chassis.

4. lift the outriggers, retract the beams completely and secure with the specific pin.

Transporting a suspended load 1. Align the turret with the carrier (boom on the front end).

2. Make sure the manual slewing lock pin is inserted.

3. Consult the load tables to ensure that the load does not exceed the values given in the table for operation on tyres.

4. Keep the load as close as possible to the ground to avoid swaying.

5. Respect the tyre inflation pressures.

6. Make sure the suspensions are locked.

7. Suspended loads must only be carried on flat and horizontal ground, after first checking that the terrain is sufficiently stable to withstand the load borne by the vehicle tyres.

8. Select a steering mode according to transport requirements.

9. Select a slow gear.

10. Select front-axle drive (4-wheel drive).

During the transport of loads on flat ground the work radius is constant.

When transporting loads uphill the reduction in the work radius can cause the load to knock against the crane.

Travelling with no load but with the boom raised can cause the machine to tip over.

When transporting loads downhill the increase in the work radius can cause an overload and tipping over of the machine.

Safety and operation

Machine stabilization Instructions: Raise the machine on the outriggers on firm and possibly level ground.

In case of sloping ground, keep the machine horizontal using thick and hard wooden blocks, adjusting the travel of the outrigger beam vertical cylinders, making them come out more or less.

The area of these spacers on the ground must be greater than the surface area of the outrigger support plates.

The machine can considered stabilized only when all the wheels are completely off the ground.

WARNING: If an obstacle prevents all the outrigger beams from being extended to the same length, refer to the configuration in the table relative to use on tyres, with outrigger beams partially extended or retracted.

The crane trucks have three types of stabilization OUTRIGGER BEAMS FULLY RETRACTED Depending on the load table configuration, the crane can operate with all the outrigger beams retracted. For a correct configuration, the beam locking pin must be inserted in the special seat.

MIDDLE OUTRIGGER BEAMS Depending on the load table configuration, the crane can operate with the middle outrigger beams. For a correct configuration, the beam locking pin must be inserted in the special seat.

OUTRIGGER BEAMS FULLY EXTENDED Depending on the load table configuration, the crane can operate with the outrigger beams completely extended. For a correct configuration, the beam locking pin must be inserted in the special seat.

NOTE: Before extending and retracting REMEMBER TO REMOVE the locking pins.

Support surfaces Check the solidity of the terrain over which the crane is to travel. Make sure the ground can support the crane. Avoid unstable, soft and partially frozen ground.

Work in the proximity of an excavation: the crane must not be sited on the edge of an embankment or pit; in these cases keep well back from the edge by a sufficient distance in accordance with the compactness of the terrain.

Safety distance: Firm compact terrain (not powdery).

Distance 1 = Depth of excavation (A) Powdery terrain or backfill.

A.

WARNING: If the machine is working close to an excavation and the prescribed safety distance cannot be observed, the excavation walls must be shored or the hole must be filled to avoid landslides.

The surface must withstand the weight of the crane and the load to be lifted, in addition to the live loads imparted because of movements of the crane and wind force.

The maximum ground pressure applied through the outrigger ground support plates depends on the configuration of the crane and the load to be lifted.

In accordance with the values in the tables, the operator can decide whether the ground support plates are sufficient or whether it is necessary to make use of larger size supports such as boards interposed between the ground support plates and the ground.

The outrigger support plates must be positioned in the centre of such additional supports.

Safety and operation

Extension of the boom Extension of the boom with a suspended load is normally permitted in the limit of 75% of the capacities indicated in the load table and anyway within a maximum capacity of 8 tonnes.

The precision of this manoeuvre is anyway less than the precision that can be obtained by lifting the load with the rope because it depends on the mechanical efficiency of the boom (friction of slide pads).

Friction of the slide pads depends on: - greasing - boom lifting angle - incidence of the lifted load During extension manoeuvres, very poor efficiency of the boom will result in inhibition of the function when the maximum pressure value set for the extension circuit is reached.

To re-enable the manoeuvre, place the lifted load on the ground and reposition the boom in more favourable geometrical conditions.

During retraction of the boom poor efficiency may translate into abrupt starting of the movement of the sections, which may perform sudden stick-slip type movements in steps of up to 50 cm.

Lifting rope The lifting rope is one of the crane's main parts, and requires particular attention for starting and maintenance.

The ropes must be visually checked for signs of deterioration or deformations every day.

Pay special attention to the points where the ropes are attached to the equipment.

In any case, the rope must be inspected when an accident may have caused damage to the strands, wires or attachment points or when a rope has been returned to service after being removed and then refitted.

If the machine has not been used for some time, the rope must be inspected before resuming work.

In particular, check: - The fixing points at the rope ends.

- The parts of the rope sliding on the lifting or idle section sheaves.

Blocks and hooks The crane can be used with blocks/hooks having different characteristics and various performance levels.

It is the responsibility of the operator to use a block/hook of appropriate capacity in relation to the load to be lifted and having suitable characteristics in relation to the type of rope installed on the crane.

Before placing a load on the sling, check that the spring-loaded safety on the hook is in perfect working order and the hook shows no visible signs of ware.

Before lifting a load, check that it is perfectly level in comparison to the block.

Never lift loads that exceed the maximum safe working load specified on the plates fitted to the block and stamped on the hook.

Do not lift loads with a jerking action and do not use in ambient temperatures less than –30°C or above +100°C. No responsibility is taken by the manufacturer for any modifications that are made to the block and hook (in particular, welding the hook).

NOTE: In case of accidentally lifting a load that exceeds the maximum safe working load, before restarting work, check the open measurement of the hook.

The measurement must be compared with the one written on the certificate supplied by the manufacturer.

If the measurement is not the same as the one stated on the certificate, stop work immeditely and report the problem to the person in charge of maintenance.

The hook must be replaced.

WARNING: If the red plate stating the specification of the block is removed without permission damaged or lost, the manufacturer will not be able to trace the product in the case of claims. It is therefore important to promptly report the loss to the manufacturer, who will supply a new plate.

Work with main winch and auxiliary winch DANGER: The load limiter cannot calculate the load of two blocks simultaneously in order to ensure safe working conditions; for this reason all load handling operations performed with two blocks are UNDER THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATOR. Terex® CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS THAT MAY OCCUR WHEN USING THE CRANE WITH TWO WINCHES Working with two blocks consists in handling a load using the block of the main boom and the block of the extension.

First of all, the load to be handled must be lifted exclusively with the extension. Check the load table to ensure that this is possible.

Support the machine on fully extended outriggers, slew the turret to the front and ensure the boom is aligned with the machine axis.

The limiter performs its functions correctly when a single block assembly is used at a time (work with main boom or work with tower section); when working with two block assemblies, the limiter must be set onto the work mode with tower section.

Since the effective load is lifted by two blocks simultaneously, the maximum load is equivalent to the maximum total load permitted with a tower section during load handling with the tower section (with a single block).

Check the load capacity table.

The load capacity value depends on the extension installed. Check the table of capacities with extension. The value indicated by the limiter will be the value of the configured extension.

Work with two blocks is accompanied by the risk of subjecting the boom and the extension to an overload and causing accidents, since the limiter cannot perform its functions correctly.

Handling “permitted” under the responsibility of the crane operator or the site manager is that of turning a load using two blocks, the extension block (which is less robust) to lift the load and the main block to turn it.

Operation and maintenance manual

Safety and operation

Lifting with several mobile cranes Lifting operations involving two or more mobile cranes are complex procedures that call for significant levels of skill, practice and careful planning. It is therefore necessary to prepare a detailed procedure that takes account of all possible situations and that anyway addresses at least the following minimum requirements: - Lifting must be carried out under the control of a responsible supervisor.

- The terrain must be flat and solid, otherwise it will be necessary to use all the means necessary to achieve this condition.

- All the cranes must be accurately levelled.

- The precise weight of the load and its centre of gravity must be established.

- The maximum working radius that can be reached by each crane during the entire procedure must be established.

- The length and inclination angle of the crane booms must be established.

- The nominal capacity of each crane must be established for each stage of the procedure.

- When lifting with several cranes none of the cranes involved must carry more than 75% of its net capacity; greater reductions may be required in the presence of specific lifting conditions.

- The speed of the block, slewing, and the crane boom must be the same for all the cranes as far as possible.

- Slewing, tilting and extension movements must be limited to the indispensable minimum.

- It is dangerous to travel with a load because swaying movement can result in the transfer of very significant loads from one crane to another.

- Operators must be informed of exactly how to act and the movements that are to be performed before starting the lifting operation.

- If possible, perform one or more trials with no load until all the operators are aware of what is required of them.

- All communications during the lifting procedure must take place by radio (preferably closed type rather than walkie-talkies).

- It is essential that just one person be appointed to direct and supervise the operation. Said person must be in a position to observe the entire operation and must keep in radio contact with the operators.

- All movements of the cranes must be performed as smoothly as possible with very gradual stops and starts.

- The ropes of the blocks must be kept vertical. If this rule is not observed the cranes will tend to create overload conditions with each other and cause extremely dangerous lateral swinging movements.

- For these operations it is important to check the correct functioning of the load indicator and/or limiter with which the mobile cranes taking part in the procedure must be equipped.

Towing In the event of a breakdown the crane can be towed over short distances (less than 10 km) at reduced speed (less than 10 km/h) using a towing bar.

- Put the gear selector into neutral - Release the parking brake on the front axle. The operating brakes, supplied with the remaining air pressure in the circuit, are not affected by this operation.

- Disconnect the transmission shafts (front and rear axle). If this operation is not carried out the transmission may be rapidly and irreparably damaged.

The crane must be towed in strict compliance with the rules of the highway code in force in the country in which it is working.

Use the towing points provided specifically for the purpose, which are located on the front of the chassis (optionally on the rear).

The maximum horizontal traction force on the hook must be less than 50% of the total weight of the machine in running order.

If the crane becomes lodged in mud or sand, use the towing attachments located on each corner of the carrier to pull it clear.

Safety and operation

Transporting the crane on a self-propelled trailer Use trailers or platforms of suitable size to transport the machine.

Secure the crane immovably to the trailer by means of chains or bar stays.

Make sure that the overall load height is lower than the height permitted by statutory legislation or by motorway authorities and, if necessary, that the specific transportation or road circulation permit has been issued.

Do not resort to deflating the tyres to comply with the maximum permissible height dimension.

If the outrigger plates are not in contact with the trailer bed, make sure the outrigger beam is locked to avoid uncontrolled extension movements.

The crane must be transported with the boom in a horizontal position, the block anchored to the frame structure, and slewing movements locked with the manually inserted pin and, once the crane has been loaded, with the parking brake applied. Always comply fully with the foregoing instructions even if the crane is to be transported over very short distances.

2 Warnings The load limiting device is an electronic control device, designed to help the operator for the safe use of the machine, warning him by means of visual and audible alarms when approaching a dangerous condition.

However, this device is not aimed at replacing the operator’s good experience when properly using the crane.

The operator is responsible for operating the machine under safety conditions as well as fulfilling all the safety rules prescribed.

The operator must be able to recognize if the data transmitted by the system are correct and coherent with the real conditions.

He also must be able to utilize the data in order to operate under safety conditions.

The limiter is an electronic device with several components and could be subject to failures or defects.

The operator must recognize these events and must act consequently (to proceed to repair, if possible, or to call the constructor for assistance).

Before starting to operate with the machine, the user must fully read and understand this manual and follow the instructions at any time.

The LMI has a powerful FAIL-SAFE auto diagnosis program suitable to verify its good operations and the one of its transducers. In case a trouble has been detected, the LMI sets itself in a safe state by stopping the operations.

Despite this before starting to operate the machine, the operator must take care that the LMI is working correctly. To do this he must verify the validity of the displayed values by doing some tests. He must verify that there are not messages or alarm indications; he must verify the correct operation of the operation stopping functions.

The operator is responsible for the correct setting of the machine load table and therefore for the right LMI setting. When switching on the machine the last selected Table is kept valid to allow the operator to check.

As for this please follow the instructions given in the OPERATING MODE SELECTION chapter.

An incorrect setting of the tables can cause an incorrect LMI operation and therefore it can cause a dangerous situation to the machine.

Generally it is compulsory to follow the Manufacturer’s instructions and procedures at any time

Operation and Maintenance

3 Important Notes The limiter is supplied with a key for automatic shut-down override.

Under normal working condition this key must be positioned properly not to operate the override functions.

It is forbidden to use this key to lift loads exceeding the load table limits provided by the crane’s manufacturer.

The key must be used only in extreme cases: malfunctioning or situations justifying its use. The use of the key is allowed only by authorized personnel who is responsible for its use.

The limiter has a powerful FAIL-SAFE self-diagnostics program suitable to verify the good operation of its circuits and measuring transducers. In case a failure is detected, the limiter sets itself in emergency status by blocking the manoeuvres.

Nevertheless, before starting the operation of the machine, the operator must make sure that the limiter works correctly. To do this, he must verify the accuracy of the displayed values by performing some tests. He must also verify that there are not messages or alarm indications, and verify the correct operation of the shut down function.

Generally, the limiter does not automatically change the operating conditions of the machine (tables). The operator is responsible for the proper setting of the operating conditions of the machine and the correct use of the device. Regarding this follow the indications given in the manual concerning the operating modes. An incorrect setting of the tables can cause an incorrect operation of the limiter and this will create a dangerous situation during the crane operation.

For this reason it is absolutely necessary to set the correct operating mode.

These operating conditions generally vary when: • outriggers are extended or retracted • switching the operation from outrigger mode to on tires mode • telescopic mechanical extensions are extended or not • further equipment (jib, ext, etc.) is installed or not • the rope number is properly selected.

In general it is mandatory to follow the instructions given by the crane’s manufacturer.

System Functionality

The Load Limiting Device is designed to help the operator with the safe functions of the crane.

The limiter automatically compares the lifted load with the maximum one supplied by load table providing the necessary information to the user in order to work under safety conditions.

The main information is: • actual lifted load • maximum load allowed • tilting percentage • operating radius • boom angle • boom extension (length) • operating mode • warning lights (green, yellow, red) and audible alarm • diagnostic The system determines the lifted load by calculating it from the relevant sensing devices signals (pressure or load cell), and the operating radius is also calculated by means of the measures of boom angle and extension.

The lifted load is continuously compared with the maximum load allowed that can be obtained from the load tables.

Consequently three possible situations can occur: SAFETY: green lamp is on, no presence of audible alarm : lifted load is lower than 90% of the maximum load.

PRE-ALARM : yellow lamp is on and audible alarm sounds intermittently; this is the warning situation. The signal occurs when the lifted load is higher than 90% and less than 100% of maximum load.

ALARM : red lamp is on and audible alarm sounds continuously: lifted load exceeds the allowed load and therefore the control functions shut-down is activated. In the alarm situation, only control function operations to allow the machine under safe working condition are enabled.

Operation and maintenance manual

Maintenance Regular maintenance will ensure long life of the machine.

Therefore make sure to follow the instructions given in this section.

The general maintenance chart gives the essential points to be observed and the following pages give the instructions relative to such operations.

NOTE: All maintenance operations must be carried out by qualified personnel. Crane operators or maintenance personnel must be familiar with the instructions contained in this manual and above all those concerning safety, before carrying out any operations.

At the time of starting, a specialist will show you how to use the machine. Carry out the first servicing with him.

Subsequently, refer to the maintenance intervals given in the following charts.

The intervals given are based on a work time of 8 h / day, 40 h / week, 2000 h / year.

The intervals given in the following charts apply for the machine used in normal conditions. For intensive use or particular conditions (excessive heat, humidity, dust) maintenance must be carried out more frequently.

To carry out the maintenance operations, the machine must be stabilized on fully extended outriggers on firm, flat and level ground.

The machine running hours are shown on the hour-meter in the cab.

The hour-meter measures the diesel engine run time.

Every day, carry out a complete inspection before boarding the machine or starting the engine, checking for loose or missing screws, accumulated debris, oil and coolant leaks.

Check the tyres and levels.

Any change to the fixed maintenance schedule must be preceded by a new analysis of the machine operation conditions. Carefully read the recommended maintenance handbook before changing the check frequencies.

In case of prolonged storage, the 500 hours maintenance must be carried out every 6 months, in particular on the Engine, Axles, Suspension, Steering and Transmission.

Take every precaution to safeguard the environment. In particular, collect and recycle all used fluids. Do not leave them in incorrectly labelled or open containers.

There must be no puddles of fluids on the ground where you are working.

Welding and cutting painted surfaces DANGER: Cutting or welding painted steel with certain systems exposes the operator to potentially harmful decomposition by-products (metallic fumes, gas or vapor and particles). The following procedures must be adopted when welding or cutting painted steel:

page 6/66

•

Use a power tool wire brush or grinder to strip the paint from the steel in the area of the cut or weld to be executed.

Also remove paint in the vicinity of the weld area to prevent it from heating and blistering. If this should occur, keep removing paint.

•

When removing paint it is compulsory to wear a protective mask to filter out toxic dust and safety spectacles.

•

The welder must wear a supplementary fresh air respirator and use all the other personal protective equipment required for welding operations.

•

The other employees must depart from the area or move to a safe distance from the welder. Employees must ensure they are not exposed to drifting welding fumes.

•

If available, use an air-cleaner suction unit to remove welding fumes while welding or cutting.

Operation and maintenance manual

Boom telescoping chain tension check (Only mod. RC30-RC40-A600-RT75) Check that the boom sections are synchronised by extending and retracting the sections several times.

If the sections are not synchronised, check boom telescoping chain tension: - With the machine stabilized, move the boom to the horizontal position.

- Partially extend the second and third telescopic sections for RC30 and RC40, the third and fourth telescopic sections for A600.

- Retract the telescopic sections and check that the second and third sections are aligned for RC30 and RC40, and the fourth and third sections are aligned for A600.

- Loosen the grub screw on the stay lock nut.

- Adjust nut “A” of the telescoping chain stay assuming tightening torque of 30-35 daN/m until the boom sections are completely synchronised.

- Retract the boom and check that all sections are aligned.

Checking telescoping chains (RT100) Cleaning the chains Brushing the chains will remove impurities from the exterior surfaces, after they have been impregnated with petrol-based solvents compatible with oils and greases.

Cleaning chains with high pressure steam or water jets, or with acid cleansing products or those which might risk causing a release of hydrogen is forbidden.

Using strong grease-removing solvents (for example chlorinated solvents) is not advised. If nevertheless they are used, heavy lubrication must follow immediately afterwards, and this must be with oil. Painting chains is strictly forbidden

Lubrication Use Alvania EP2 grease.

Apply manually, using a brush. Enough should be used to the joints between the pins and the plates. Apply along the full length of the chains, including the anchoring pins at the extremities, preferably while the chain is not in use and slack.

page 8/66

Chapter VI – ed. 07-2012

Maintenance

Operation and maintenance manual

Inspection This includes visual inspection and an estimate of chain lengthening.

Visually inspect the chains seeking: - missing, broken or split plates; - lengthening of the holes in one of the four outer plates (distortion or risk of a pin coming out); - pin partly dislodged from an outside plate; - pin broken, or distorted (major distortion, discernible to the naked eye, so that the pin is no longer straight); - general corrosion of the outer surfaces; - corrosion between the surfaces in contact with adjacent plates; - pin turning freely in outer plate; - sticking point during movement of the return roller.

If even a single one of these faults appears in a single point on a chain, replace it. some corrosion points on the outer surfaces of the chains; chain not corroded but dry, not lubricated; visible wear, but moderate, on the surfaces of the plates resting on the roller.

In such cases, correct chain lubrication must be restored.

-

Check integrity of tie-rope for boom telescoping.

(Only mod. RT35) Close up the boom completely and check the integrity of the ropes 1 comprising the tie-rope of the telescopic boom.

Adjust the tensioning with the adjuster screw 2.

Maintenance

Operation and maintenance manual

Check boom telescoping ropes (RC45-RC60-RT100) Check lengthening.

Retract the boom completely.

Ensure it is horizontal.

Telescope sections 4, 5 and 6 so that the boom is about 13 m long.

Check the telescoped length of sections 4 and 5.

They should be the same.

Se If the telescoped length of section 5 (A) is shorter than that of section 4 (A) by 15 to 20 mm, a Terex® specialist should be called in immediately. The cable ply lengthening arises from the loss of mechanical qualities from the cable. It risks breaking.

Structural components Check yearly for the presence of cracking and/or damage of the machine structural components (chassis, turret, telescopic boom sections, extensions).

If damage is noted contact our technical assistance service.

Maintenance

Operation and maintenance manual

Lifting rope The lifting rope is one of the crane's main parts, and requires particular attention for starting and maintenance.

Carry out checks in compliance with ISO4309.

The ropes must be visually checked for signs of deterioration or deformations every day.

Pay special attention to the points where the ropes are attached to the equipment.

In any case, the rope must be inspected when an accident may have caused damage to the strands, wires or attachment points or when a rope has been put back into service after being removed and then refitted.

If the machine has not been used for some time, the rope must be inspected before resuming work.

In particular, check: -The fixing points at the rope ends.

-The parts of the rope sliding on the lifting or idle section sheaves.

Rope removal criteria: -Broken wires (nature and number).

-Broken wire nests.

-Gradual increase in the number of broken wires.

-Broken strands.

-Broken rope core.

-Reduced elasticity. .reduction in rope diameter .rope stretching .no space between individual wires and strands .appearance of fine brown powder between strands -General wear of rope due to abrasion.

-External and internal corrosion.

-Rope deformation (under load) .spiral deformation .basket deformation .stretched wires .slackening of certain wires or strands .knottiness .contractions .flattening .loops .lumps .bends -Deterioration induced by heat.

Maintenance

Operation and maintenance manual

Numerous broken wires hidden by the pulley, the rope must be removed.

Example of wire rope with very high internal corrosion.

The boom heads are equipped with plastic sheaves, therefore the life of the ropes is increased.

When the lifting ropes are only used with plastic pulleys, rope wear is inside the rope and cannot be seen on the outside.

Our blocks are equipped with cast iron sheaves, therefore rope wear is visible externally because it is due to the rubbing of the rope on the cast iron sheaves.

Chapter VI – ed. 07-2012

page 13/66

Maintenance

Operation and maintenance manual

Wire rope replacement The wire chosen for use on the machine must be clean, without corrosion or deterioration.

Normally, a rope the same as the original is chosen for replacement.

Before fitting a new rope, make sure its diameter matches the grooves of the drums and the sheaves.

The type of rope fitted on the machine is specified in the certificates attached to the documentation.

When pulling a rope from a winder, or unwinding a roller (on clean ground to avoid picking up impurities), every precaution must be taken to avoid twisting it; the same applies when fitting the rope on the crane. If these precautions are not taken the rope may buckle, form loops or knots.

page 14/66

Chapter VI – ed. 07-2012

Maintenance

Operation and maintenance manual

The ropes must be wound evenly on the drums. Make sure that the turns of rope wound on the first layer of the drum are close and tight in order to prevent overlapping or crossing during winding of the next layers and therefore crushing of the cable. Take into account the rope winding and the rotation direction of the drum as given below:

Rope with RIGHT twisting (use the right hand)

A Rope winding from the top of the drum with end fixed to the left flange; use the right rope.

After fitting the rope on the winch, check positioning of the rope in the thimble.

Form a loop beforehand as close as possible to its final size to avoid having to pull a long length of rope to tighten it.

The rope must come out 70 – 80 mm IMPORTANT: The wedge and rope must retract freely until the rope presses against the sides of the thimble Once the rope is fitted, use a minimum number of tackles and attach a load (max. load x tackle). Completely unwind the rope using the telescoping and lifting functions.

Once the rope is completely unwound, rewind it under load to tighten it and eliminate any strain.

Chapter VI – ed. 07-2012

page 15/66

Maintenance

Operation and maintenance manual

Rope maintenance and removal To increase the life of the ropes, after 500 hours of operation, remove and extend the rope on the ground (clean ground). Rewind the rope on the winch.

The crane ropes must be checked very carefully and replaced, without economizing, in case of the slightest mishap.

Maintenance is generally performed by greasing. The rope must be greased at regular intervals according to needs and mainly in the bending areas.

The lubricant must be compatible with the greases used by the manufacturer. It is advisable to use oils which, unlike greases, can penetrate inside the rope. Lubrication reduces breakages due corrosion, wear and the coefficient of rubbing when the rope slides on the sheaves and winds on the winch drum.

Operation and maintenance manual

Diagnostics of engine (CUMMINS) Engine protection system The QSB series Cummins engines installed on models RC30, RT35, RC35, RC40, RC45, A600, RC60, RT75, RT100, TCC40, TCC45 and TCC60 are equipped with an engine protection system.

The system monitors critical engine pressure and temperature values and records any diagnostic errors in the event of anomalous operating conditions. In the presence of out of tolerance values and if it becomes necessary to derate engine power, the operator is warned by illumination of an ALARM warning light in the cab. The ALARM warning light starts flashing if the out of tolerance condition continues to worsen. When the red STOP warning light illuminates the operator must stop the engine as soon as possible in order to limit possible damage.

NOTE: The engine speed and power will be reduced gradually in accordance with the degree of gravity of the condition in question.

Error codes The QSB system can highlight and record operating anomalies and communicate them in the form of error codes. The error codes can be used to facilitate troubleshooting tasks. The error codes are recorded in the ECM (engine control module).

The error codes can be read by means of the indicator lights on the control panel in the cab.

NOTE: Not all anomalies relative to the QSB system or the engine are communicated by means of error codes.

There are two basic types of error codes: •

Engine electronic control system error codes

•

Engine protection system error codes.

All the error codes recorded can be either active (error code present) or inactive (error code present at a specific time but not currently present).

Certain electronic error codes (although not all) cause a warning light to illuminate when they are present. There are two warning lights that can illuminate when an error is detected.

To check for the presence of error codes relative to the engine electronic fuel system and engine protection system switch off the engine and turn the ignition key to ON. Press the DIAGNOSTICS pushbutton.

If no error codes are present, both the STOP and ALARM warning lights will illuminate and remain illuminated.

page 32/66

Chapter VI – ed. 07-2012

Maintenance

Operation and maintenance manual

In the presence of error codes both the warning lights illuminate briefly and then start flashing to communicate a code relative to the errors that have been recorded.

The error code will flash in the sequence indicated below: The yellow ALARM warning light flashes initially. This will be followed by a 1-2 second pause, after which the number of the recorded error code will flash on the red STOP warning light. There will be a 1-2 second pause between each number. When the red warning light has stopped flashing the yellow warning light will illuminate again. The error code will now be repeated in the same sequence.

The warning lights will flash three times for each error code before progressing to the next code in the memory. To go to the next error code, temporarily set the idle speed adjustment switch to the (+) position. You can return to the previous error code by temporarily setting the idle speed adjustment button to the (-) position. If just one error has been detected, the QSB system will continue to display the same code when the (+) or (-) switch is pressed.

Error codes instantaneous data Additional information concerning error codes can be obtained by means of the INSITE service software. The engine management system instantaneously saves the values and status of the control sensors as soon as a malfunction is detected. These data serve to recreate or establish the operating conditions of the engine when the anomaly occurred.

The ECM communicates with INSITE by means of an SAE J1939 data connection (for the connector see ref. “A”).

Chapter VI – ed. 07-2012

In normal use, the batteries do not require topping-up. However, in special cases, e.g. high number of working hours, high operating temperature, the user can top-up with distilled water. Never add sulphuric acid.

Whenever frequent additions of water are necessary, have the vehicle's electrical system checked.

An electrical system check is also necessary whenever the battery tends to go flat.

Maintenance-free batteries have the good characteristic of keeping their charge, therefore if the battery (new or used) is not used for a long time, a recharge every 4-5 months is sufficient. When the battery has been used for more than 2 years, it advisable to have it periodically checked.

Periodical inspection is essentially a visual and functional check that includes the following: -

identity check on the crane with the information given in the crane's logbook.

-

check on the state of the components and equipment to see whether they are damaged, worn, corroded or whether there are any other changes.

-

check on the completeness and functionality of the safety equipment and brakes.

This must be done by taking as reference the technical standard ISO 9927.

DAILY CHECKS (G) Before putting into service each day, make a thorough inspection before getting into the cab or starting the engine, checking that there are no obvious signs of impairment to the structure or the safety devices; then get into the cab, start the engine and check:
