16000 HANGING MAX-ER® OPERATOR MANUAL SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
Assemble Fixed Mast
An assist crane is required to assemble and install the fixed
mast.
NOTE Disconnect hydraulic hoses for boom from storage
position on front of rotating bed (see Figure 4-15
,
View F). Allow hoses to hang down at front of
rotating bed.
Hoses will be damaged when mast is raised if
you do not perform this step.
Install Mast Butt and Top
See Figure 4-3 for the following procedure.
Mast butt (1), mast top (2), and boom hoist equalizer (3) are
shipped assembled as shown in View B.
1. Remove pins (4, View A) from end of mast butt (1).
2. Attach lifting slings from assist crane to lifting lugs (5,
View B) on mast butt (1) and mast top (2).
3. Lift mast butt and top into position at front of crane so
hooked ends of mast butt (1) engage mast hinge pins (6)
in rotating bed.
4. Install pins (4).
5. Shim mast (View A):
a. Center mast on rotating bed.
b. Install thickest shim (7) between both outboard
sides of mast butt and rotating bed lugs.
c. Install next thickest shim between both sides of
mast butt and first shim.
d. If possible, install the thinnest shim between both
sides of mast butt and pervious shim.
e. Mast side play must not exceed 0.08 in (2 mm).
f. Align holes in shims with holes in mast butt and
securely install cap screws with lock washers.
6. Lower mast supports (View C):
a. Lower mast to approximately 5° below horizontal.
b. Take up slack in mast support cable with hand winch
(8a).
c. Tension cable just enough to hold mast support legs
(8b) in position when step 6d is performed.
d. Remove pins (8c).
e. Extend mast support legs until pins (8c) can be
reinstalled. If legs are lowered too far they will fall
out of support tubes.
f. Remove mast support pads (8d) from shipping
position and install them on mast support legs.
7. Lower mast butt and top until mast support pads are on
foundation and lifting slings are slack.
8. Remove protective caps from five hydraulic hoses (9,
View D) on mast butt and from five couplers (10) on
rotating bed. Thoroughly clean couplers.
9. Connect hydraulic hoses from mast butt to couplers on
rotating bed. Hoses must not cross.
10. Unscrew protective cap from electric cable (W64) in
mast butt.
11. Thoroughly clean connectors, and connect electric
cable (W64) to corresponding receptacle on Node 6
(View F).
NOTE For Node-6 electrical connections with Mast Stop
Limit Switch, reference Figure 4-4
