HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
HYDRAULIC SCHEMATICS
Applicable hydraulic schematics are attached at the end of
this section.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM ā GENERAL
This section contains hydraulic system maintenance,
adjustment, and test procedures for the hydraulic system
and related components on the Model 16000.
Experienced technicians trained in the operation of this
crane and its hydraulic system, shall perform the procedures
described this section. The technicians shall read,
understand, and comply with the instructions in this section
and to the display screen instructions in Section 3 of the
Crane Operator Manual.
Contact the Manitowoc Crane Care Lattice Team for an
explanation of any procedure not fully understood.
Adjustments in this section were made to the crane before it
was shipped from the factory. Adjustments by field personnel
should be required only when parts are replaced or when
instructed by the Manitowoc Crane Care Lattice Team.
CHECKING AND REPLACING HYDRAULIC
HOSES
1. Visually inspect all hydraulic hose assemblies every
month or at 200 hours of service life for the following:
a. Leaks at hose fittings or in hose
b. Damaged, cut or abraded cover
c. Exposed reinforcement
d. Kinked, crushed, flattened or twisted hose
e. Hard, stiff, heat cracked or charred hose
f. Blistered, soft, degraded, or loose cover
g. Cracked, damaged or badly corroded fittings
h. Fitting slippage on hose
i. Other signs of significant deterioration
If any of these conditions exist, evaluate the hose
assemblies for correction or replacement.
2. At the same service interval, visually inspect all other
hydraulic components and valves for the following:
a. Leaking ports
b. Leaking valve sections or manifolds and valves
installed into cylinders or onto motors
c. Damaged or missing hose clamps, guard or shields
d. Excessive dirt and debris around hose assemblies
If any of these conditions exist, address them
appropriately.
See Table 2-1
below for the following items.
3. Hydraulic hose assemblies operating in climate zone C
are recommended to be replaced after 8,000 hours of
service life.
4. Hydraulic hose assemblies operating in climate zone A
and zone B with high ambient temperatures and high
duty circuits could see hose service life reduced by 40%
to 50%. High duty circuits can include, but are not limited
to hoist(s), boom lift, swing, travel, pump suction and
discharge to directional valves and directional valve
return to reservoir. It is recommended to replace these
hoses after 4,000 to 5,000 hours of service life.
Table 2-1 Climate Zone Classification:
Hydraulic hose assemblies operating in climate zone D and
zone E, cold climates, should expect a degrade of
CAUTION
Do not alter hydraulic system specifications given in this
section without approval of the Manitowoc Crane Care
Lattice Team.
Damage to hydraulic components and improper operation
of crane can occur if specifications are altered.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard!
Oil in hydraulic tank may be under pressure and
extremely hot.
Ensure that the hydraulic hose is depressurized before
loosening any connections.
