REMOVING MAX-ER ATTACHMENT
Prepare Crane
Position the crane on a firm and level foundation.
The crane must be traveled and swung to disconnect the
hanging counterweight assembly from the crane.
If another crane is used to disassemble hanging
counterweight assembly, disconnect the hanging
counterweight assembly from the 16000 after the fixed mast
and boom are removed so the 16000 can be traveled and
swung.
If 16000 is used to disassemble hanging counterweight
assembly, crane must not be equipped with any more boom
than specified in “Liftcrane Boom with Mast” capacity chart.
Remove Hanging Counterweight Assembly
NOTE For the remaining steps, two removal sequences
are provided. Select the sequence which meets
your needs.
Sequence 1:
• FIRST, the beam is disconnected from the
counterweight tray
• SECOND, the beam is disconnected from the
crane
Sequence 2:
• FIRST, the crane is disconnected from the
beam
• SECOND, the beam is disconnected from the
counterweight tray
REMINDER: The hanging MAX-ER set-up mode must be
selected in the working screen of the RCL to operate the
following controls during the removal steps:
• Mast hoist (Drum 4)
• Remote control on hanging MAX-ER beam assembly.
The remote control must also be turned on in the
function mode screen of the main display
DANGER
Read Capacity Charts!
Before you disconnect hanging counterweight assembly
from crane, read Capacity Charts to determine the
following requirements:
• Are blocked crawlers required to raise and lower
boom and jib (if equipped)?
• Is hanging counterweight required to lower boom and
jib (if equipped)?
If required per capacity chart, make sure crawlers are
blocked and required hanging counterweight is installed
before lowering boom and jib to ground.
Failing to observe this precaution will result in tipping and
possible collapse of boom and jib.
WARNING
Falling Boom or Mast Hazard!
Crane can tip over or collapse if it is not operated within
limits of capacity chart.
Hanging MAX-ER set-up mode is intended for crane and
MAX-ER assembly and disassembly purposes only. It is
not intended for load handling.
When hanging MAX-ER set-up mode is on, crane’s RCL
will not indicate load being lifted or warn of overload.
During crane and MAX-ER assembly and disassembly, all
load handling or boom positioning must be within limits of
“Liftcrane Boom with Mast” capacity chart.
