16000 HANGING MAX-ER® OPERATOR MANUAL SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
BLOCKED CRAWLERS
To prevent crane from tipping, some boom lengths must be
raised and lowered over end of blocked crawlers. See the
hanging MAX-ER capacity chart for blocked crawler
requirements and the Crawler Blocking Diagram in the
Capacities Section of the Hanging MAX-ER Operator
Information Manual in the crane cab.
RETAINING CONNECTING PINS
Connecting pins are retained in various ways:
• Snap pins
• Safety pins
• Quick-release pins
• Cotter pins
• Keeper plates with cap screws and lock washers
Do not operate crane until all connecting pins are installed
and properly retained.
HANDLING FIXED MAST AND BOOM
SECTIONS
Handle fixed mast and boom sections with care to avoid
damaging lacings and chords. The mast and boom sections
have lifting lugs designed to provide a balanced load and to
prevent damage during lifting.
SHIPPING MAX-ER COMPONENTS
It is owner/user’s responsibility to make sure hanging
MAX-ER components are securely attached to trailers
so components cannot fall off trailers during transport.
INSTALLING MAX-ER ATTACHMENT
Prepare Crane
The 16000 must be traveled and swung to connect the
hanging counterweight assembly to the crane.
If another crane will be used to assemble hanging
counterweight assembly, connect the hanging
counterweight assembly to the 16000 before the fixed mast
and boom are installed so the 16000 can be traveled and
swung.
If 16000 will be used to assemble hanging counterweight
assembly, completely assemble the 16000, to include the
following (see Section 3 of Crane Operator Manual for
detailed assembly instructions):
1. Carbody counterweight
2. Crane counterweight
3. Fixed Mast — 98.5 ft (30 m) raised to operating position
4. Boom — It will be necessary to raise the boom so the
crane can be traveled and swung while installing the
hanging counterweight assembly. Do not install any
more boom than specified in “Liftcrane Boom with
Mast” capacity chart.
DANGER
Tipping Hazard!
Do not attempt to raise or lower boom from or to ground
until crawlers are blocked if required. Crane will tip.
WARNING
Falling Load Hazard!
Lifting lugs on a particular mast or boom section are
designed for lifting that section only. Do not attempt to lift
two or more mast or boom sections with lifting lugs only on
one section. Lifting lugs may break allowing sections to
fall.
When lifting lugs are not used:
• Lift against chords only, never against lacings
• Use nylon lifting slings. If wire rope or chain slings are
used, install protective covering (such as sections of
rubber tire) between slings and chords
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.
