Luffing Hoist Operation
See Figure 3-18 for Luffing hoist operation.
When the crane is configured with a luffing jib (Drum 3), the
multi-function handle on left console controls the luffing jib
drum (See Figure 3-18
).
1. Select luffing jib configuration and capacity charts on
RCL display, Configuration screen.
2. Turn off Drum 3 park switch.
3. Increase engine speed to desired RPM with hand
throttle. Depress foot throttle to momentarily increase
engine speed when more power is required.
4. See Figure 3-18
. Push luffing hoist handle (Drum 3) on
right console FORWARD from off to LOWER luffing jib or
pull handle BACK from off to RAISE luffing jib.
5. As luffing jib nears desired angle, slowly move luffing
hoist handle toward off to decrease speed. Then move
handle to off to stop luffing jib and hold it in position and
brake will apply.
6. Turn on Drum 3 park switch if luffing jib angle will not be
changed.
WARNING
Avoid Death or Serious Injury!
Read and understand instructions in Luffing Jib Rigging
Guide before attempting to raise or lower luffing jib to or
from ground.
Use extreme care when operating luffing hoist and boom
hoist at the same time. Maximum or minimum operating
radius will be reached quickly when operating both hoists
at the same time.
CAUTION
Avoid Rigging Damage!
Check that luffing hoist wire rope is reeved through all
sheaves and spooled properly onto Drum 3 before raising
boom and jib from ground.
• See Jib Rigging Drawing in Luffing Jib Operator
Manual for wire rope and reeving specifications.
• See Wire Rope Installation in Section 4 of this manual
for instructions on attaching wire rope to luffing hoist
drum.
CAUTION
Avoid Boom or Luffing Jib Damage!
Do not turn on Drum 3 park switch while raising or
lowering luffing jib; brake will bring luffing jib to an abrupt
stop. This action could cause shock load damage to boom
and jib. Bring luffing jib to smooth stop with control handle
and then turn on Drum 3 park switch.
WARNING
Avoid Two-Blocking Hazard!
Pay out load lines while lowering luffing jib. Load may
contact luffing jib point sheaves if this step is not taken.
Wire rope or other parts could break allowing load to fall.
CAUTION
Avoid Luffing Jib Damage!
When lowering boom and luffing jib to ground, disengage
luffing jib stop at specified boom to luffing jib angle (see
Luffing Jib Rigging Guide).
