14000 OPERATOR MANUAL SETUP AND INSTALLATION
COLD WEATHER MAST OPERATION
The live mast, live mast cylinders, and mast arms can be
damaged when attempting to lower the live mast (to rear)
during cold weather.
Do not attempt to lower the live mast with the mast hoist
during cold weather until the following steps have been
performed:
• Hydraulic oil warmed to at least 60°F (16°C)
• Mast cylinders fully extended and retracted twice to fill
cylinders with warm oil
SHIPPING CRANE COMPONENTS
To ensure the crane’s self-erecting system can load and
unload the carbody and upperworks assembly, the trailer
must meet the specifications given in Figure 4-6
.
It is the owner/user’s responsibility to ensure the following:
• That all trailer loads comply with local, state, and federal
transportation requirements
• That all crane components are properly blocked and
secured so they cannot shift or fall off trailers
• To avoid damage to components:
Use nylon tie-downs to secure components as shown in
Figure 4-3
, View A.
If chain tie-downs are used, install protective covering
(such as sections of rubber tire) between the chain and
component being secured as shown in Figure 4-3
, View
B.
When securing boom sections, wrap tie-downs over
chords — never over lacings. Keep tie-downs as close
to blocking as possible (View A) to prevent bending the
chords.
