Page 220
4. Operate right working control lever (3) to BOOM RAISING side (pull toward you), raise the boom. NOTES During this operation, excessive tension between the hook block and the stowage wire rope (5) should be avoided. In such event of excessive tension, properly lower the hook block (4).
3.13 CRANE OPERATION POSTURE To start the crane operation, following "Operation 3.12 Operations Before Operating The Crane", set to the crane operation posture as below. 1. Operate the right work equipment control lever to HOOK RAISING position (pull backward) so that the hook block is hoisted.
3.14 HOOK RAISING / LOWERING OPERATION •With the boom deflection, the hoisted load slightly shifts forward. Notify workers around you such as slinging operators. •If the hook block was hoisted too far, over hoisting will be detected. The alarm buzzer sounds intermittently.
3.14.2 HIGH SPEED HOOK RAISING / LOWERING OPERATION •Use the high-speed winching only in the no-load condition where a hoisted load is not present. Raising/Lowering the hoisted load in the high-speed mode may cause machine damage or serious accidents such as overturning of the machine or dropping of the load, resulting in death or serious injury.
3.14.3 HOOK RAISING OPERATION BY HOOK STOWAGE SWITCH • The hook stowage switch cancels the auto-stop function of the over hoist detector and reduces the hook raising ability. Move the right-hand work equipment control lever carefully (very slowly without moving to the stroke end) when stowing the hook block.
3.15 BOOM DERRICKING OPERATION • Move the right-hand work equipment control lever as slowly as possible. Sudden operation of the lever especially while hoisting a load will cause the load to swing, which may adversely impact the machine and result in damage or the machine rolling over. •...
3.16 BOOM TELESCOPING OPERATION • Move the left-hand working equipment control lever as slowly as possible. Sudden operation of the lever, in particular when hoisting a load, will cause the load to swing, which may adversely impact the machine and result in damage or the machine rolling over.
3.17 SWING OPERATION • Check the safety of the surrounding area and sound the horn before swinging. • Swing the crane as slowly as possible. Start smoothly, swing at a low speed, and stop gently. Sudden operation of the lever, in particular when hoisting a load, will cause the load to swing, causing the machine to lose stability, and thus may break the crane or overturn the machine.
3.18 ACCELERATION OPERATION • It is a dangerous excercise to operate each crane functions un-necessarily fast. Regulate the operation to the adequate speed for each operation. • The accelerator pedal should only be used to control the crane operation while the machine is stationed.
3.19 STOWAGE OPERATION OF CRANE 3.19.1 CRANE OPERATION FOR TEMPORARY HOOK BLOCK STOWAGE • The hook stowage switch cancels the auto-stop function of the over hoist detector and reduces the hook raising ability. Move the right-hand work equipment control lever carefully (very slowly without moving to the stroke end) when stowing the hook block.
Page 230
3. On each occasion that the hook block nearly reaches the ground as a result of practice in Steps 1 and 2 above, move right-hand work equipment control lever (1) to the HOOK RISING (pull backward) position and raise the hook block within an extent that over winding can be avoided.
Page 231
6. Keep pressing hook block stowage switch (3) (at the ON position) and move right-hand work equipment control lever (1) to the HOOK RAISING (pull backward) position again to raise hook block (4) up slowly and precisely to stow the hook block below the tip of the boom.
