This document provides important information regarding the KOBELCO CK1600G crawler crane, a full-hydraulically operated machine designed with extensive experience and expertise. It serves as a comprehensive guide for safe and efficient operation and maintenance.

Function Description:

The KOBELCO CK1600G is a full-hydraulically operated crawler crane designed for lifting and construction tasks. Its primary function is to safely lift and move heavy loads on various job sites. The machine's design emphasizes reliability and performance, drawing on years of manufacturing experience. The manual itself is crucial for understanding the machine's capabilities, operational procedures, and safety protocols. It outlines the proper methods for operating and maintaining the crane to prevent accidents and ensure its longevity. The machine's specifications are based on the Mobile crane ASME B30.5 standard, and for crane life utilization, it is classified as [A1] of ISO 4301/2 and FEM 1.001. This classification indicates its suitability for specific operational demands and expected service life.

Important Technical Specifications:

While detailed technical specifications like lifting capacity, engine power, or boom length are not explicitly listed in the provided excerpts, several key identifiers and classifications are mentioned:

Model: CK1600G
Machine Serial Number: Identified by a "GN04-" prefix, followed by a series of numbers (e.g., GN04-00000). This number is stamped on the nameplate and is crucial for ordering repair parts and for service inquiries.
Engine Number: Identified by "P11CVC-" followed by additional characters. This is also important for engine-specific parts and service.
Hour Meter: The machine is equipped with an hour meter, located in the gauge, which tracks the total operating hours. This information is vital for maintenance scheduling and warranty purposes.
Standards Compliance: The machine's specifications adhere to the Mobile crane ASME B30.5 standard. Its utilization class for crane life is [A1] according to ISO 4301/2 and FEM 1.001. Users are advised to contact KOBELCO if there are doubts about compliance with local standards or regulations.

Usage Features:

The manual emphasizes several critical usage features and guidelines to ensure safe and efficient operation:

Pre-Operation Reading: Operators are strictly warned to read and understand the entire manual before operating or maintaining the machine. Failure to do so can lead to accidents, serious injury, or loss of life.
Manual Accessibility: The operator's manual must always be kept in the operator's cab for quick reference. If lost or damaged, a replacement should be ordered from an authorized KOBELCO distributor.
Machine Directionality: For clarity in instructions, the manual defines "FRONT" of the lower machinery as the idler wheel side. For the upper machinery, "FRONT, REAR, LEFT, and RIGHT" are determined from the operator's perspective when seated and facing forward. This consistent terminology is essential for understanding operational commands and maintenance procedures.
Swing Mechanism: The machine features both left and right swing capabilities, controlled from the operator's cab.
Propel System: The machine is equipped with propel motors for movement, with clear indications of left and right directions relative to the operator's position.
Operator Cab: The operator's cab is the central control point, from which all operational functions are managed.

Maintenance Features:

Maintenance is a critical aspect highlighted in the manual to ensure the machine's performance, safety, and longevity:

Serial Number and Hour Meter for Service: When ordering repair parts or requesting service, it is mandatory to provide both the machine serial number and the total hours indicated on the hour meter. This ensures correct parts are supplied and service records are accurate.
Genuine Parts Requirement: For optimal performance and safety, only genuine KOBELCO parts should be used for servicing and repairs.
Replacement of Security Parts: Important security parts, designed to ensure safety and prevent serious accidents, must be replaced at specified intervals. This proactive approach to maintenance is crucial for operational safety.
Part Number Verification: While part numbers may change without prior notice, users are advised to confirm part numbers with the parts manual or engine handbook when placing an order.
Warranty Conditions: The machine comes with a warranty that covers trouble and damage recognized as the manufacturer's responsibility, provided the machine has been used according to the manual's instructions. Damage resulting from improper use, contrary to the manual, will not be covered by the warranty. This underscores the importance of adhering to the operational guidelines for warranty validity.
Transfer of Manual: If the machine is sold, the manual must be handed over to the new owner, ensuring continuity of safe operation and maintenance practices.
Distributor Consultation: For any questions or doubts regarding the machine, users are encouraged to consult their KOBELCO authorized distributor.
