16000 SERVICE/MAINTENANCE MANUAL INTRODUCTION
1
12. Avoid battery explosion. Do not smoke while performing
any battery maintenance, and do not short across the
battery terminals to check its charge.
13. Read the safety information in the battery manufacturer
instructions before attempting to charge a battery.
14. Avoid battery acid contact with the skin and eyes. If
contact occurs, flush the area with water and
immediately consult a doctor.
15. Stop the engine before refueling the crane.
16. Do not smoke or allow open flames in the refueling area.
17. If a safety-type can is used to add fuel to the fuel tank, it
must have an automatic closing cap and a flame arrestor
for refueling.
18. Mobile refueling of the crane from tank trucks and tank
wagons must be in compliance with federal, state and
local regulations and licensing. Best management
practices must be used when fueling the crane.
19. Hydraulic oil can be flammable. Do not smoke or allow
open flames in the area when filling the hydraulic tanks.
20. Never handle wire rope with your bare hands. Always
wear heavy-duty gloves to avoid cuts from broken wires.
21. Use extreme care when handling coiled pendants.
Stored energy can cause coiled pendants to uncoil
quickly with considerable force.
22. When inflating the tires, use a tire cage, a clip-on inflater,
and an extension hose that permits standing well away
from the tire.
23. Only use cleaning solvents that are non-volatile and
non-flammable.
24. Do not attempt to lift heavy components by hand. Use a
hoist, jacks, or blocking to lift the components.
25. Use care while welding or burning on the crane. Cover
all hoses and components with non-flammable shields
or blankets to prevent a fire or other damage.
26. To prevent damage to crane parts (bearings, cylinders,
swivels, slewing ring, computers, etc.), perform the
following steps before welding on the crane:
• Disconnect all cables from the batteries
• Disconnect the output cables at the engine junction
box
• Attach the ground cable from the welder directly to
the part being welded and as close to the weld as
possible
Do not weld on the engine or engine-mounted parts (per
the engine manufacturer).
27. Disconnect and lock the power supply switch before
attempting to service any high voltage electrical
components and before entering any tight areas, such
as the carbody openings, containing high voltage
components.
28. When assembling and disassembling the booms, jibs, or
masts on the ground (with or without support from the
boom rigging pendants or straps), securely block each
section to provide adequate support and alignment.
Do not go under the boom, jib, or mast sections
while any connecting bolts or pins are being
removed.
29. Unless authorized in writing by Manitowoc, do not alter
the crane in any way that affects the crane’s
performance (including welding, cutting, or burning of
structural members, or changing pressures and flows of
air/hydraulic components). Doing so will invalidate all
warranties and capacity charts and make the crane
owner/operator liable for any resultant accidents.
30. Keep the crane clean. Accumulations of dirt, grease,
oil, rags, paper, and other waste will not only interfere
with safe operation and maintenance, but also create a
fire hazard.
31. Store tools, oil cans, spare parts, and other necessary
equipment in tool boxes. Do not allow these items to lie
loose in the operator cab or on walkways and stairs.
32. Do not store flammable materials on the crane.
33. Do not return the crane to service at the completion of
maintenance or repair procedures until all guards and
covers have been reinstalled, trapped air has been bled
from the hydraulic systems, safety devices have been
reactivated, and all maintenance equipment has been
removed.
34. Perform a function check to ensure proper operation at
the completion of maintenance or repair.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Dispose of waste properly! Improperly disposing of waste
can threaten the environment.
Potentially harmful waste used in Manitowoc cranes
includes—but is not limited to—oil, fuel, grease, coolant, air
conditioning refrigerant, filters, batteries, and cloths which
have come into contact with these environmentally harmful
substances.
Handle and dispose of waste according to local, state, and
federal environmental regulations.
When filling and draining crane components, do not pour any
waste fluids onto the ground, down any drain, or into any
source of water:
• Always drain waste fluids into leak proof containers that
are clearly marked with what they contain
• Always fill or add fluids with a funnel or a filling pump
• Immediately wipe up any spills
