Never operate the crane without having checked that the outriggers are well positioned on firm ground. If necessary, their bearing area must be increased with additional pads. The truck stability relies very much on the working conditions! When the ground under the outrigger pads is sinking, their bearing area must be increased. The crane Manufacturer can supply additional plates on request with increased area.
Always extend fully the outrigger beams to their working position (i.e.: maximum opening position), when foreseen, to grant the maximum stability of the vehicle and safety. ATTENTION The outrigger beams are in their working position when the yellow band existing on every beam can be entirely seen.
6.6.1 Thrust rotation system Operation: The thrust rotation system is so called because the operator performs column rotation by pushing on Braking Screw crane arm. The system is supported by a friction block braking device (pict. 6). It is consisting of a block lever Ring which is locked by a lever on a plastic ring fixed on...
6.6.3 Hydraulic slewing system Operation: This system is fulfilled with a worm/crown gearing protected by a casing and operated by an hydraulic motor (pict. 8). Such motor is energized by the operating system consisting of an electro-hydraulic power unit and a control valve bank. Casing Use: To start the system you have to:...
Use: To lead the boom to working position the operator has to: set the boom almost horizontally; pull out the manual extensions (if necessary, and in case of manual extension boom system); lift the boom assembly to the desired angle, choosing among those allowed by the mechanic strut holes. To adjust the mechanic strut length you have to: support the boom without any load hanging;...
6.6.6 Two manual extensions boom system Operation: With this system (pict. 11), the extensions can only be manually pulled out, fixing the boom assembly outreach by inserting the lock pins into the properly aligned holes. Use: Place the boom horizontally. To pull out both extensions, proceed as follows: pull out the lock pin A holding it by the handle, and turn it to release it from relevant safety hook on the boom;...
DANGERS If you wish to pull out only the 2 extension with the 1 one completely retracted, it is necessary to lock the assembly by inserting the lock pin only in the hole on the boom, and not in the hole of the 1 extension, otherwise the system would not be locked.
DANGERS Exclusively use the lock pin (and not the fingers!) to align the profiles’ slots. Before lifting a load, make sure the lock pin is correctly inserted; a wrong lock pin insertion may cause its breaking. The lock pin extraction with the boom assembly in leaning position increases shearing risk. The lock pin non-insertion or breaking cause an uncontrolled sliding of the 2 extension.
6.6.9 Hydraulic operating system by hand pump for lifting and extension cylinders Operation: The system (pict. 14) is consisting of a manually operated hydraulic pump and a two functions control valve bank with levers equipped with automatic return into neutral position.
6.6.10 Hydraulic operating system by hand pump for extension cylinder Operation: The system (pict. 15) is consisting of manually operated hydraulic pump and a two functions control valve bank with one lever equipped with automatic return into neutral position. The valve bank controls the boom extension.

The sink rate control valve on the lifting Casing Cable cylinder controls load’s lowering in case hose Lowering Lifting cylinder breaking.
After use: Fully retract the extensions and lock the 2 one correctly; put the crane back within its min. overall volume position; extract the key from the battery disconnector and put it back in a safe and protected place. ATTENTION If you wish to extend the boom hydraulically once the max.
DANGERS Make sure that the rotation stop prevents excessive tractive forces on hydraulic hoses. CORRELATED SAFETY DEVICES The control valve overpressure valve, calibrated at 170 bar, prevents lifting weights exceeding the allowed ones. The overcenter valve on the lifting cylinder controls load’s lifting and lowering in case the slewing function is operated simultaneously to the lifting function.

Antitheft device When the crane is locked, we suggest to apply the two padlocks supplied with the kit to the proper holes of the mobile hooking pivots. In order to apply the padlocks to such holes it is essential that both nuts are fully screwed. Checking before fixing the crane: Check he main structural parts involved by the fixing operation (hooking profiles of the slewing support, mobile hooking, fixed hooking) do not show any deformation or welding with flaws.
MAINTENANCE AND CHECKING Protection and storage 7.1.1 Short shutdowns Wash and clean the loader, lubricate all the parts provided with grease nipples and the worm screw gearing. ATTENTION Never wash the loader with chemical products or high pressure water jets, as they can cause the detaching of the stickers water entering inside the electrical components and the slewing case.

Every maintenance work has to be carried out with care. Do not delay repair or maintenance works on the crane. Repair works must be assigned only to qualified, skilled people. The recommended procedures of repair and maintenance must always be followed carefully. If necessary ask for a preventive authorization.
Maintenance schedule 8.3.1 Check list before a working session Check the level of hydraulic oil in the tank. Check the hoses, the fittings and all the other components of the hydraulic system, in order to eliminate any possible source of oil leak. General verification of crane operation and integrity.
8.4.1 Oil level checking The oil level must be checked periodically by the fill up cover of the hand pump, and visually through the transparent tank of electro-hydraulic power unit, with the crane in rest position and the truck on flat ground. If necessary, top up with hydraulic oil filling up through the cover.
8.4.4 Worm gear assembly control It is important to check that the worm gear reducer has a correct axial backlash. This can be made with the crane at standstill and the boom in horizontal position. Pushing the boom aside on the left and on the right by hand, you can notice if the axial backlash between the worm screw and the worm gear is too great.
