Introduction WARNING • Never clean the electronic system, plastic components, signs or bearings with a high- pressure jet cleaner. It could cause damage. • Never expose the electronic system to high electrical voltages. This could damage the control system. • Never immerse the controller in water or other liquid.
Structure and parts of the HIAB crane Main groups This HIAB crane consists of the following main groups: • Crane base with column and slewing system • Stabiliser system • Boom system • Operating system - hydraulic components Some accessories can be fitted depending on your crane configuration: •...
Structure and parts of the HIAB crane Stabiliser system Every HIAB crane is equiped with two stabiliser extensions and two stabiliser legs. Auxiliary stabiliser systems may be needed for heavy cranes. The stabiliser system consists of: ① Stabiliser beam ② Stabiliser extensions ③...
Structure and parts of the HIAB crane Boom system The boom system consists of the following components: • ① 1st boom • ② 2nd boom • ③ Hydraulic extensions The length of the hydraulic extension depends on the type of crane.
Structure and parts of the HIAB crane Accessories on the boom system Manual extensions [option] Manual extension is slid by hand into the hydraulic extension. Hooks [option] Different hooks can be mounted depending on the crane model. DANGER Never exceed the maximum permissible load- ing of the hook.
Page 16
Structure and parts of the HIAB crane Hoist [option] The hoist is a crane accessory which permits load handling without any or only limited boom movement. An obvious advantage is that the hoist makes it possible to handle loads far below ground level.
Structure and parts of the HIAB crane Operating system - hydraulic components The operating system consists of the following hydraulic components: ① Oil tank ⑤ Stabiliser control valve ⑪ Return filter [option] ② Hydraulic pump ⑥ Hydraulic hoses and ⑫ Load holding valve lines ③...
Structure and parts of the HIAB crane LHV Load holding valves All cylinders are equipped with load-holding valves as a safety device. After a crane move- ment they hold the crane in position, also in the unlikely event of a burst hose.
Safety precautions and warnings Operating conditions You may only use the crane under the following conditions: • In the open air, or in spaces with sufficient ventilation. • With a mean wind velocity less than 13.3 m/sec (approx. 29.7 mph). See the wind speed table.
Safety precautions and warnings Wind speeds Wind speed averaged over 10 minutes at a height of 10 m Above flat ground Characteristics Wind Force Wind type Calm Calm, smoke rises vertically or nearly 0.0 - 0.2 vertically Slight breeze Wind direction recognisable from smoke plumes, the wind begins to be 0.3 - 1.5 noticeable on the face;...
Definition of a HIAB loader crane Usage of the crane The HIAB loader crane is used to lift and move loads in the working area permitted by the load plate and the load diagram. The cranes are normally mounted on a vehicle but they can also be mounted on a fixed base plate.
Page 22
Safety precautions and warnings Forbidden duties: • Crane mounted onboard ships or floating structures, only permitted in cases authorized by HIAB • Continuous use as a production crane in assembly lines, foundries…, except for cranes prepared for that purpose • Handle loads, work with submerge boom...
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.1 3.3.1 Determination - Hoist The TC hoists belong to the group of hoisting winches. The use as determined is hoisting and lowering of loads as specified for each hoist type and under the attention of the given installation regulations as well as of the safety notes.

Page 25
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.4 DANGER • Overloading could result in damage to the crane or in the worst case, personal injury or death • Never increase a hanging load, since that may cause a load holding valve to open and/or the vehicle to turn over.
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.5 Load diagram The load diagrams are placed on the column and show the maximum loads your crane / JIB (if fitted) / hoist (if fitted) may lift in the entire working zone (manual extensions excluded). The load diagram drawing will also be found in the enclosed Technical Data.

Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.5 • second boom down • extension boom out If the second boom is down, then the following movements are locked: • first boom up • second boom up • extension boom out • first boom down (certain crane types and cases) Lifting the load You obtain the best from your crane in this way:...
Page 28
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.5 Always try to lift the load with the extension boom retracted, however not completely. The crane then has the greatest lifting capacity. Place the vehicle as close as possible to the load. Working below ground level If you have to load or unload below the level of the ground: keep the first boom angle to about 10 to 30°...
Safety precautions and warnings Signals when using a crane [AR+] DANGER • If it is not possible to see the load and the entire working area clearly the crane oper- ator is obliged to follow the instructions and signals given by a qualified person qualified.
Page 30
Safety precautions and warnings Emergency stop for all movements by the crane. Raise the hands and the arms to an oblique angle. Very short movement Place the hands a very short distance apart, with the palms facing each other. The hands may be held either horizontally or vertically.
Page 31
Safety precautions and warnings Open the grapple Extend the arms at shoulder height, with the palms facing downwards. Close the grapple Move both hands close together. Lift the open grapple a little Extend both arms at shoulder height, with the palms facing upwards.
Safety precautions and warnings Use of the crane Starting crane operation DANGER • Wear a safety helmet (compulsory in some countries!). • Check that the ground is sufficiently flat and firm. • To ensure that the vehicle stays in its position, always engage the parking brake and place chocks under the wheels.
Page 33

Starting crane operation Starting operations [AR+] • General case: Place the vehicle on a flat, firm and stable surface. The vehicle inclination (α) during crane operation must not be more than 3º. If this value is exceed, unintentional crane movements can occur.
Starting crane operation ! NOTE • Rpm too high: the oil in the hydraulic system might overheat. Rpm too low: during crane operation, the vehicle engine could stall. • The maximum rpm may depend upon a governor on your PTO combination. Start the control system The operating levers must be in neutral position before start up.
