Wire Rope Care/Maintenance It is important to ensure all wire ropes are provided proper maintenance and inspections on regular intervals. Failure to provide the proper care and maintenance can drastically reduce the lifespan of wire ropes, which increases the risk to personnel and property.
Page 137
Wire Rope Care/Maintenance Typical Evidence of Wear and Abuse A "birdcage" is caused by sudden release of tension and the resulting rebound of rope. These strands and wires will not be returned to their original positions. The rope should be replaced immediately.
Page 138
Wire Rope Care/Maintenance wire ends must be removed. It is recommended to move the wire ends back and forth until they break deep within the cord valley between two outer strands. At no time should the wire ends be pinched off with nippers. Replacement Criteria A.
Page 139
Wire Rope Care/Maintenance 2. 1/32 inch for rope diameters 3/8 through 1/2 inch 3. 3/64 inch for rope diameters 9/16 through 3/4 inch I. Core failure. This type of damage is usually indicated by a reduction in the nominal diameter or an increase in rope lay length.
Page 140
Wire Rope Care/Maintenance spray it on or brush it on. In all cases, you should apply it at a place where the rope is bending such as around a sheave. Apply it at the top of the bend, as that is where the rope's strands are spread by bending and more easily penetrated.

Elliott Equipment currently uses both Yale and Samson rope products in 9/16” (yellow) and 5/8” (blue) sizes. Fiber and construction being equal, a larger rope outlasts a smaller rope because of the greater surface wear distribution.
Page 143
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement Elongation It is well accepted that ropes with lower elongation under load will give you better load control-a big help at complicated job sites. However, ropes with lower elongation that are dynamic loaded, like a towering line, can fail without warning, even though it appears to be in good shape.
Page 144
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement found to be in good condition; and if the rope has not been subjected to dynamic loads, excessive use, elevated temperatures, or extended periods under load. For dynamic loading applications that involve severe exposure conditions, or for recommendations on special applications, consult the manufacturer.
Page 145
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement Assume that you have seven identical ropes, each with a 30,000-lb breaking strength and you work these ropes daily with each rope lifting a different load. The higher the working load factor, the greater the service life and the lower the replacement factor.
Page 146
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement Avoid All Abrasive Conditions All rope will be severely damaged if subjected to rough surfaces or sharp edges. Chocks, bitts, winches, drums, and other surfaces must be kept in good condition and free of burrs and rust. Pulleys must be free to rotate, and should be of proper size to avoid excessive wear.
Page 147
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement Removing Rope from a Reel or Coil Synthetic-fiber ropes are normally shipped on reels for maximum protection while in transit. The rope should be removed from the reel by pulling it off the top while the reel is free to rotate.
Page 148
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement Knots While it is true that a knot reduces rope strength, it is also true that a know is a convenient way to accomplish rope attachment. The strength loss is a result of the tight bends that occur in the know.
Page 149
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement However, all synthetics to subject to melting if subjected to enough friction and heat; therefore, practices such as surging on a gypsy-head winch, hard rendering around poles, over cross-arms, etc., should be avoided whenever possible. Temperature Friction can be your best friend or worst enemy if it is not managed properly.
Page 150
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement by UV exposure, and the resulting strength degradation of exposed fibers is negligible. Nylon is more susceptible to strength loss due to ultraviolet rays, but with both polyester and nylon, the degree of susceptibility to UV damage is dependent on the type of fiber and the various inhibitors with which the fiber manufacturer treats them.
Page 151
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement End-For-Ending It is recommended that every winch line be rotated end-for-end on a periodic basis. This will vary high stress and wear points and extend useful life. The recommended end-for-ending period is six months, at which time visual inspection and washing can also be done.

Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement Rope Type Yale Ultrex Ultrex is a 12-strand, single braid comprised of 100 percent Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMPE) fiber enhanced with Yale’s Maxijacket HP coating (see next section) supplying superior abrasion resistance. Ultrex’s braid angles and twist level are designed to optimize break strength and keep stretch low.
Page 156
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement Rope Coatings and Finishes Yale Maxijacket Coating This is a spliceable urethane coating, which is applied after the rope is braided. Maxijacket firms the rope, increases snag resistance, and helps keep contaminants from entering the rope. Unlimited lengths may be processed at our facility through our automated coaters, which apply and control the polymer penetration, curing the coating at precisely controlled temperatures.

Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement inspecting for abrasion, glossy or glazed areas, inconsistent diameter, discoloration, and inconsistencies in texture and stiffness. Visual Inspection The load-bearing capacity of double braid ropes is divided equally between the inner core and the outer cover. If upon inspection, there are cut strands or significant abrasion damage, the rope must be retired because the strength of the entire rope is decreased and, as such, is compromised.
Page 158
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement As a general rule for braided ropes, when there is 25 percent or more wear from abrasion, or the fiber is broken or worn away, the rope should be retired from service. For double-braided ropes, 50 percent wear on the cover is the retirement point, and with three-strand ropes, 10 percent or more wear is accepted as the retirement point.
Page 159
Synthetic Rope Usage, Inspection, and Retirement Elastic Hysteresis: Elastic Hysteresis refers to a recoverable portion of stretch or extension over a period of time after a load is released. In measuring elastic recovery, it is the portion that occurs immediately when a load is removed. However, a remaining small percentage of elastic recovery occurs gradually over a period of hours or days.

PART & SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION Part and serial numbers can be located on the winches as shown below: Safety Notes WARNING FAILURE TO HEED THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! Tulsa winches are not to be used to lift, hoist, or move people. If your task involves lifting or moving people, you MUST use the proper equipment, not this winch.
INTRODUCTION AND THEORY OF OPERATION The 1200W planetary winch design is composed of an input either from a high torque; low speed geroler motor or a high-speed gear or piston motor, driving through a multiple disc brake, through a pair of planetary gear sets to the cable drum. The multiple disc brake is spring applied and hydraulically released through a port in the brake housing.
MAINTENANCE Tulsa Model 1200W planetary winches, like any other pieces of machinery, need to be periodically serviced and well maintained to insure their proper operation. Good maintenance consists of three steps: A daily inspection to insure that there is no oil leaks present, that all mounting bolts and other fasteners are tight, and that wire rope is in good condition.
LUBRICATION The hydraulic system should use only high quality hydraulic oils from reputable suppliers. These oils should contain additives to prevent foaming and oxidation in the system. All winch hydraulic systems should be equipped with a return line filter capable of filtering 10-micron particles from the system.
DISASSEMBLY Stand the winch on its end with the motor pointing up. Remove the brake hose from the brake housing (Item 18). Remove the motor and brake valve assembly from the winch by removing the capscrews holding the motor to brake cover. See Servicing the Motor section for motor and counterbalance valve dis-assembly.
REASSEMBLY Thoroughly clean all parts. Replace those, which show wear or damage. Inspect the drum (Item 5) and base (Item 7) for structural integrity and replace if necessary. Set the drum so that it is centered on the hole in side plate (Item 26). Install the shaft (Item 29) through sideplate (Item 26) into the drum (Item 5) making sure the vent is oriented properly.
SERVICING THE MOTOR Tag hoses for proper re-installation and remove them from the motor and counterbalance block. Remove the counterbalance block from the winch motor. Remove the counterbalance valve from the counterbalance block and inspect the small metering hole located on the side of the cartridge valve to make sure it is not obstructed (See Fig.
SERVICING THE BRAKE Evenly remove the four capscrews ( Item 41) holding the brake cover in place. Spring pressure will raise the cover up as the capscrews are loosened. Remove the cover from the brake housing. Remove the springs (Item 21) from the piston and check them for free height. Each spring should measure at least 1.200 inches with no force on them.
Page 234
Inspect each new seal (Item 19) to make sure it has an o-ring in the groove of the seal. Install one seal into the bore of the brake housing with the open side toward the brake pack. Place the other seal onto the piston with the open side toward the flange of the piston (See Fig.
SERVICING THE PLANETARY SET Remove the spiral rings from the planet pins. Remove the pins from the carrier by carefully tapping them out. Remove the planet gears, thrust washers and bearings from the carriers. Inspect the pins, bearings, and gear bores for evidence of wear and replace if necessary. On output planet sets, note that two bearings with a spacer between them are used.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem: Winch won't hold load Solution 1: Excessive back pressure in the system. Check the system for restrictions and reduce the backpressure. Solution 2: Brake discs are worn out. Replace brake discs. Solution 3: Winch clutch is slipping. Inspect the clutch and driver for wear and replace worn parts.

Outline of Operation The system is intended to aid the crane operator by monitoring the load and warning of an overload or two-block condition. Crane functions are monitored by a variety of sensors. The system compares the load suspended below the boom head to the crane capacity chart stored within the computer’s memory.
Page 251
PRESSURE SENSORS There are two pressure sensors which measure pressure in the boom hoist cylinder. One sensor to measure the rod-side pressure and one sensor to measure the piston-side pressure. ANTI-TWO-BLOCK (ATB) The ATB switch monitors the approach of the hookblock or overhaul ball to the boom head. The switch is held in the normal position until the hookblock or overhaul ball raises a weight that is mounted around the hoist rope.

5. Check the extension value in the display window for the correct retracted boom length. The retracted boom length should match the retracted boom length from the load chart. The value must be within ± 0.2ft. Fully telescope the boom and ensure the displayed boom length value matches the maximum length of the boom.
Page 287
2.4.2.4 Check Pressure Sensors There are two pressure sensors installed as part of the system. Both pressure sensors are mounted within the computer unit. One is connected to the piston side of the boom hoist cylinder via flexible hose; the other is connected to the rod side of the boom hoist cylinder via flexible hose. Both hoses are protected by velocity fuses within the boom hoist cylinder valve block on the end of the cylinder.
3.1 Computer Unit Overview The Computer Unit is the center of the System. It reads the sensors, controls computations and disconnect functions, and communicates with the display console/internal bar graph. The two hydraulic pressure sensors required to sense pressure within the boom hoist cylinder contained within the unit. These sensors, as well as the computer are factory pre-calibrated as a unit and may not be separately replaced in the field.
3.4 Function Kickout Fuse (FUS1) The computer unit contains a standard 10 AMP replaceable fuse. The fuse protects the function kickout circuit and relay contacts, if a short circuit occurs across the crane kickout solenoids. Replace the fuse, if the system error codes indicate that the function kickout power feed is missing. Ensure the crane circuit breaker is closed and power from the crane is present.
4.1 Display Console Overview The Display Console allows the user to see the crane values and crane configuration selection. The display also provides calibration functions used for testing and fault diagnosis. 4.2 Checking the Display Console When operated for extended periods under extreme conditions, the console can become damaged. The damage is not always apparent.
4.4 Connectors There are four, 6-pin Deutsch connectors on the rear of the Insight. 4.5 Horn Ensure the horn is connected to the wiring harness via the two-pin Deutsch connector. 4.6 Moisture The Display Console conforms to IP67 in protection against dust and water, when correctly installed.

5.5 Calibrating the Angle Sensor Zero The angle sensors are preset to zero on the Potentiometer before leaving the factory. If the potentiometer is disturbed, the zero setting can be affected. If this happens, the angle sensor will be inaccurate. If the factory setting has been disturbed, reestablish it by loosening the attaching screws, and rotating the pot until the desired voltage reading is attained.
5.6 Calibrating Span of Extension and Angle WARNING! THE AREA OVERHEAD ABOVE THE CRANE MUST BE CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO CALIBRATING SPAN OF EXTENSION AND ANGLE! In order for the system to properly calculate the boom length and the boom angle, the “Span Number” must be entered into the system.

The lower left and lower right buttons are used to select the number. The number inside the brackets is the current selection, in the above image, the number 3 is between the brackets.
5.7 Calibrating the Swing Sensor (If Equipped) After completing the extension and angle span, return to the main calibration screen. 1. Press the “Menu Up” button until “04 Swing Sensor” is reached. This menu will allow a zero point to be set on the swing circle and a direction for the system to track the rotation angle. 2.
5.7.1 Calibrating the Swing Direction The swing sensor supplies data for either direction. For consistency, the swing should count upwards (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.) when rotating clockwise. The direction of the swing can be changed while using the Greer Insight display.
5.7.3 Disabling the Swing Sensor If there is a problem with the Swing counter or the ISS Module, it may be necessary to disable the functionality in the calibration menu. This will remove any error codes and allow the crane to be operated until the problem can be fixed.
Page 305
6. The Swing sensor is now disabled. The Swing angle window will display “N/A” instead of a number. W450321A 09/12...
5.8 Calibrating the Outrigger Position Sensor For cranes with digital switch outrigger position sensors, replace the faulty sensor. No calibration is needed. At power up, the system will use the last used OPS position and select the corresponding chart. It will display a white arrow above the corresponding outrigger position on the screen.
6.1 Reeling Drum Overview The primary operation of the Reeling Drum is to measure the extension of the telescoping sections of the main boom. The Reeling Drum also includes an angle sensor to measure the main boom angle, and an electrical slip-ring which transfers the Two-Block signal from the Reeling Drum cable to the system computer.
6.2 Checking the Reeling Drum Cable Layering The extension reel is designed to provide accurate measurement of boom extension. To provide accurate measurement, the Reeling Drum cable must form a single flat layer across the surface of the extension reel as the boom is telescoped in and out. Any stacking of the cable will cause extension errors as the boom retracts.
6.4 Sensor Baseplate Assembly The Sensor Baseplate Assembly supports and connects the extension and angles sensors. It also supports the two-block switch signal and signal cable to the computer. Electrical or mechanical failure of either the angle sensor or the extension sensor potentiometers cannot be repaired in the field.
6.5 Reeling Drum Voltage Checks If problems occur with the two-block alarm operation, angle, or extension sensor, refer to the following chart. Follow the Boom Position/Action column before performing any voltage checks. Measure all voltages with a digital voltmeter set to DC volts range. BOOM VOLTAGE VOLTMETER CONNECTION...
6.6 Anti-Two-Block Function Overview The computer supplies a protected positive feed to the Anti-Two-Block switches at the boom/jib head via the extension reel signal cable, slip-ring, and reeling drum cable. With the Anti-Two-Block weight hanging freely on the switch, the switch contact is closed and the signal return to the computer is high (6.25 volts).
7.1 WAD/ISS Overview (If Equipped) The WAD/ISS (Work Area Definition/Integrated Swing Sensor) incoporates a sensor housed in the swing drive of the crane that measures the angle of the upper structure of the crane relative to its carrier. The sensor measures the angle by counting electronic pulses on the target gear relative from the zero point (set by the operator) in either a positive or negative direction.
7.2 WAD/ISS Troubleshooting Table Error Message / Problem Cause Correction “SWING SENSOR SIGNAL 1 ERROR!” Cable from sensor to condition box “SWING SENSOR SIGNAL 2 disconnected.
