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 4-2
.
It is the owner/user’s responsibility to ensure the following:
• All trailer loads comply with local, state, and federal
transportation requirements.
• 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.
OPERATING CONTROLS
To use the live mast as a boom for self-erecting the crane,
the Liftcrane Mast Capacities Chart must be selected in the
Rated Capacity Indicator/Limiter (RCL/RCI) Configuration
screen. See the RCI/RCL manual for instructions.
The boom hinge pins, upper counterweight cylinder pins, cab
raise/lower cylinder, and mast assist cylinders are controlled
by switches on the hand-held radio remote control
(Figure 4-4
). The remote control also selects engine speed.
The remote control must be turned on in the main display.
See Remote Controls topic in Section 3 for remote control
operating instructions.
The carbody jacks are controlled by four manual handles at
front of carbody (Figure 4-7
).
The swing and travel alarm will sound if the rotating bed gets
3 degrees out of level. Operation will not stop, but the
operator should use caution.
Operation will stop and the
CRANE OUT OF LEVEL WHEN
JACKING icon will appear on the fault screen
if the rotating bed
gets 4-1/2° out of level. The operator shall readjust the
carbody jacks in the safe direction to continue operation.
