Raise Fixed Mast
NOTE No counterweight — carbody or crane — is
required to raise the fixed mast.
General
A hold-back force is required to raise and lower the fixed
mast. Either an assist crane or the crane’s own boom can be
used.
• If an assist crane is used, it must provide the forces
given in Table 4-1
. Letters in Figure 4-11, View A
correspond to letters in the table.
• If crane’s own boom is used, a minimum boom length of
137.8 ft (42 m) is required.
REMINDER — the hanging MAX-ER set-up mode must be
selected in the RCL working screen to enable simultaneous
operation of Drum 4 (mast hoist on rear of rotating bed) and
Drum 5 (boom hoist in mast butt).
The following controls are used to raise the mast:
• Drum 4 (mast hoist) on left console
• Drum 5 (boom hoist) on right console
• Drum park switches
A qualified operator is required to raise the mast. The
operator shall be experienced with the 16000 and thoroughly
familiar with its operation.
A qualified signal person is required to give signals to the
operator.
