System Setup
The MG
®
-586 system contains a setup mode that operates through the system display console. The setup mode
provides a means of ensuring that the system sensors are correctly positioned and adjusted following system
installation or parts replacement.
This procedure assumes that installation of system components, cabling, and hydraulic connections have been
successfully completed and checked.
The setup procedure involves only the sensors mounted within the extension reel on the side of the boom.
It is important that each step of this procedure is properly followed for the system to accurately provide load, rated
capacity, warnings, and kickout functions.
At all times, observe safe practices.
Make sure that crane capacity limitations are understood, and that
the crane capacity plate is followed. Do not exceed manufacturer's
specified lifting limitations.
Required Tools
For Setup:
Phillips Screwdrivers
Bubble Level – Accurate to 0.1° at level
For Testing:
Inclinometer – accurate to 0.2°
Measuring tape (100 ft) – fiber-type with tenths of feet
Crane Configuration
Before starting the system setup, position the crane on firm and level ground with the outriggers properly
extended and set.
It is recommended that the crane be configured with no stowed or erected jib (bare boom) and reeved with a
single part-of-line.
Accessing the Extension Reel Sensors
Remove the cover from the extension reel by loosening and removing the 12 screws around the perimeter of the
cover.
