Install Counterweight
See Figure 4-18 for the following procedure.
The 14000 can be equipped with Series 1, Series 2, or
Series 3 counterweight. The table in Figure 4-18
specifies
the counterweight configuration for each series.
The 14000 must be in the following configuration to
assemble and install its own counterweight:
• Crane and counterweight on a firm uniformly supporting
surface that is level to within 1% grade — 1 ft (0.3 m) in
100 ft (30.5 m)
Installation will be easier if rear of crane is slightly higher
than front of crane — travel rear of crawlers onto
blocking approximately 1 in (25 mm) high
• Liftcrane Mast Capacities Chart selected in configuration
screen of RCL display
• Mast arms fully raised
• Assembly block and 4-leg chain sling installed
• Mast operated between fully extended mast arms and
145° — 26 ft (7.9 m radius)
• Loads limited to those given in Liftcrane Mast Capacities
chart at end of this section
• Rotating bed in-line with crawlers while installing crane
counterweight (360° swing is permitted while lifting
counterweight and installing carbody counterweights)
Assemble Crane Counterweight
The 14000 mast can be used to assemble the crane
counterweights:
1. Lift tray (1, View A) onto ground. Lift at four lifting lugs (7)
with chain sling (11).
2. Lift center box (2, View A) into position and pin to tray
(1). Lift at four lifting lugs (7) with chain sling (11).
3. Lift one or two side boxes (3) (angled corners facing out)
into position and pin to tray (1) as shown in View B. Lift at
connecting pins (9) with chain sling (11).
4. Lift additional side boxes (3) — as required for
counterweight series — into position and pin to adjacent
side box (View B).
5. For Series 3, repeat step 3
for side boxes (4).
Install Carbody Counterweight
If equipped with Series 2 or Series 3 counterweight, install
carbody counterweights (5 and 6), as follows, before
installing crane counterweight.
NOTE: Series 2 requires one carbody counterweight (5) at
both ends of carbody.
Series 3 requires three carbody counterweights (5
and 6) at both ends of carbody.
If equipped with Series 3, install both carbody side
counterweights (6) first.
1. For Series 1, go to Page 33
.
2. For Series 2 and 3, proceed as follows:
a. Hook onto carbody counterweight (6 or 5) with chain
sling (11) and lift counterweight into position at
desired end of carbody (View C) — lift at three or
four lifting lugs (7, View D).
b. Boom, swing, and hoist as required to engage
cutouts in carbody counterweight (6 or 5) with lugs
on carbody (View D).
c. Lower carbody counterweight and disconnect chain
sling (11).
d. Install pins (12, View D) to secure carbody
counterweight.
e. Pin step (13, View D) to carbody counterweight (5).
NOTE: Do not install step at rear of crane until after crane
counterweight is installed.
f. Repeat steps for each carbody counterweight on
desired end of carbody.
