  • Page 12: Glossary

    5. GLOSSARY 5.1 DEFINITIONS OF WORDS [1] TOTAL RATED LOAD Means the maximum load that can be lifted in accordance with length and angle of the boom. Such load includes mass (weight) of hook and rope. [2] RATED LOAD Means the load with the mass (weight) of hook and rope subtracted from total rated load, which is the load that can be lifted.

  • Page 13: How To Read Working Radius / Lifting Height Diagram

    5.2 HOW TO READ WORKING RADIUS／LIFTING HEIGHT DIAGRAM WARNING The working radius/lifting height diagram indicates the relation between the working radius, boom angle and lifting height above ground of this machine, without any load suspended. 1. Point A in the sketch to the right represents boom angle while point B represents the lifting height above ground.

  • Page 14: How To Rated Total Load Chart

    5.3 HOW TO READ TOTAL RATED LOAD CHART CAUTION ・Total rated load chart is based on level, hard ground. Depending on the outrigger setting or ground conditions, machine may tip over. ・Total rated load chart is based on working radius with bending of boom and lifted load taken into consideration.
  • Page 15 2. "3.00m boom": Boom extended to such extent that the first mark of the boom (2) is exposed. When the boom (2) is extended by any amount, however, work should be carried out according to the performance shown in this column. 3.
  • Page 16 [2] OUTRIGGERS EXTENDED TO THE MAXIMUM WARNING ・For crane work, be sure to extend all the outriggers. Never perform any crane work without setting up outrigger. Machine may tip over causing serious injury otherwise. ・Outriggers should be extended while watching leveling instrument so that the machine is set horizontally.
  • Page 17 [3] ZONES WHERE CRANE WORK IS PROHIBITED ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN OF OUTRIGGER PLACEMENT. WARNING ・ Sketches below indicate the zones where crane work is prohibited according to the pattern of outrigger placement (Shadowed area in the sketch). Within such zones, tipping-over of machine may take place to result in serious personal accident.

  • Page 94: Hoisting And Lowering Operation

    2.16 HOISTING AND LOWERING OPERATION WARNING ・When lifting a load, the load will move slightly forward due to bending of the boom. Wiring personnel should be aware of this. ・Over-hoisting the hook block causes the over-hoist alarm buzzer to sound. If the buzzer sounds, immediately place the winch lever in Neutral to stop hoisting.

  • Page 95: Boom Telescoping Operation

    2.18 BOOM TELESCOPING OPERATION WARNING ・Operate the boom telescoping boom as slowly as possible. Rapid lever operation particularly with a load lifted, will cause the load to sway and machine to incur big shock, resulting in damaging the crane or tipping it over. ・Do not use boom telescoping action for dragging a load laterally or pulling it in.

  • Page 96: Swing Operation

    2.19 SWING OPERATION WARNING ・Before making swing motion, be sure to ascertain the safety of surrounding by sounding the horn. ・Swing lever should be operated as slowly as possible. ・Always to try to start smoothly, swing at low speed and stop gently.

  • Page 97: How To Use Load Indicator And Load Meter

    2.21 HOW TO USE LOAD INDICATOR AND LOAD METER WARNING ・Understand how to use the load indicator and load meter so you can perform your crane work safely, not exceeding total rated load. ・When you lift a load, if the pointer of load meter should exceed such total rated load as is read on load indicator, the load should be grounded immediately.
  • Page 98 5. While watching the lifting load and load meter, read the value on the load meter immediately after the load lifts off the ground (lift off). The load should be detected in the following manner: (1) Operate the winch lever to lift the hook block with no load engaged (no-load).

  • Page 99: Stowing The Crane
