16000 OPERATOR MANUAL SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
Assemble Boom
The boom can now be assembled using live mast.
See Boom Assembly later in this section for detailed
instructions.
If a luffing jib will be installed, see separate instructions in
Luffing Jib Operator Manual.
Install Boom Butt
See Figure 4-18 for the following procedure.
1. Raise wire rope guide to operating position (View A):
a. Attach lifting sling to lifting lug (3, View A) on wire
rope guide (2).
b. Support wire rope guide so pins (4) are loose and
remove pins.
c. Raise wire rope guide from shipping position to
operating position.
d. Install pins (4).
e. Disconnect lifting sling.
2. Attach lifting slings to lifting lugs in top chords of boom
butt as shown in View D.
Adjust length of slings so butt is horizontal when
lifted.
3. Lift butt into position at connecting holes in front of
rotating bed (View D).
4. Disconnect hydraulic hoses (5a, View B) from couplers
(5b) in boom butt.
Thoroughly clean couplers to prevent dirt from
entering hydraulic system.
5. Connect hydraulic hoses (5a, View C) to couplers (5c)
on left side of rotating bed.
6. Using setup remote control, disengage boom hinge pins
(6, View F).
7. Position butt so connecting holes in butt line up with
connecting holes in rotating bed.
8. Center butt between rotating bed lugs and check side
play. If total side play is greater than 5/64 in (2 mm),
install shims (8, View E) as follows:
a. Install thickest shim possible between inboard side
of butt and rotating bed lug on both sides of crane.
Shim tabs must face inward and rest on rotating
bed lugs.
b. Install next thickest shim possible between inboard
side of butt and first shim on both sides of crane.
c. If possible, install thinnest shim between inboard
side of butt and second shim on both sides of crane.
9. Using setup remote control, engage boom hinge pins.
10. Remove locking pins (7, View E) from shipping position
and install in working position.
11. Lower butt onto ground.
12. Disconnect slings.
13. Disconnect hydraulic hoses (5a, View C) from couplers
(5c) on rotating bed and connect to couplers (5b, View
B) in butt.
14. Hold retaining bar (2, Figure 4-19
, View D) down and
remove safety pin (3) from one end of bar.
15. Slowly raise retaining bar (2) and rotate hydraulic hoses
forward.
16. Repin retaining bar for storage.
17. Remove dust covers from couplers on boom butt and
from couplers and hydraulic hoses on rotating bed.
Thoroughly clean couplers to prevent dirt from
entering hydraulic system.
18. Connect hydraulic hoses and couplers on rotating bed to
couplers on boom butt as shown in Figure 4-19
.
NOTE: These are straight line connections. No hoses will
cross when hoses are correctly connected.
On current production cranes, the hoses and
couplers between the boom butt and rotating bed
have numbered tags. To ensure proper connection,
match the numbers on the tags.
Coupler-assist tool (Figure 4-19
, View A) can be
used to connect the large couplers.
CAUTION
Boom Hinge Pin Damage!
Step 13 must be performed to relieve trapped pressure in
boom hinge pin cylinders. Otherwise, damage to parts
can occur.
