14000 OPERATOR MANUAL SETUP AND INSTALLATION
4
NOTE: Series 2 crane counterweight is shown for the
remainder of this section.
Install Crane Counterweight
1. Thoroughly clean and lubricate the following items with
Never-Seez
®
or equivalent anti-seizing compound:
• Flats of alignment pins (15, View E, Page 32
)
• Alignment slots (16, View H, Page 34
)
NOTE: The following controls are used to install the
counterweights during the remaining steps. See
Section 3 for identification and operation of these
controls.
• Boom Hoist Control in operator’s cab
• Remote Control to disengage and engage the
backhitch pins and to extend and retract the
gantry cylinders
• Main Display information screen to monitor the
mast operating angle and to identify mast
faults
2. Turn off boom hoist (Drum 4) park switch in operator’s
cab.
3. Turn on setup remote control in function mode screen of
main display.
4. Lower mast (boom down) to a minimum of 150°.
Mast must be positioned at this angle so it does not
contact mast arms when gantry is lowered.
Otherwise, damage will occur.
5. Travel crane so it is in line and centered with crane
counterweight (View F).
6. Remove cotter pins and disengage backhitch pins (11,
View D) with remote control. Keep pins disengaged until
gantry is lowered (step 7
).
Visually check that both backhitch pins are fully
disengaged.
7. Fully lower gantry (View G) with remote control.
NOTE: The mast will rise to approximately 126° as the
gantry is lowered.
8. Travel crane as required so upper straps (5, View D) are
centered over tray.
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.
9. Pin lower handling straps (7, View D) to upper handling
straps (5). Keep storage links (8) pinned to inboard
straps.
DANGER
Moving Part/Crush Hazard
Avoid being crushed by moving parts:
• Do not stand between counterweight and crane while
counterweight is being installed
• Do not stand on counterweight while it is being raised
or lowered
• Do not climb onto counterweight until gantry is fully
raised and backhitch pins are engaged
• Never go under counterweight until gantry is fully
raised and backhitch pins are engaged
Falling Mast Hazard
Prevent mast from falling:
• Do not raise mast to vertical until mast arms (18, View
F) are fully raised. Mast will fall over backwards if
raised to vertical when arms are down
