Rated Capacity Limiter: Operator's aid that warns operator of impending overload with audible and visual signals. Has read-outs for load, boom angle, boom length and load radius. In the event of an overload, dumps the following boom functions: HOIST RAISE, TELESCOPE EXTEND, BOOM LOWER, SWING LEFT and SWING RIGHT.
OPERATION SECTION SAFETY RULES GENERAL: 1. Since the manufacturer has no direct control over machine application and operation, conformance with good safety practice is the responsibility of the user and his operating personnel. 4. The operator shall be responsible for those operations under his direct control. Whenever there is any doubt regarding safety, the operator shall have the authority to stop and refuse to handle loads until safety has been assured.
Page 20
3. Keep operator's compartment and decks free of mud and grease. 4. If crane is equipped with a cab, keep all window glass clean. Keep gauges clean. 5. Tools, lubricants, or rags on the crane should be kept in a secured toolbox. 6.
Page 21
LIFTING: 1. Always refer to Crane Capacity Chart in operator's compartment before handling load. Do not exceed load ratings. Under some conditions the standard capacity ratings cannot be recommended and must be adjusted downward to compensate for special hazards, such as: weak supporting ground, wind, hazardous surroundings, operator inexperience, etc.
Page 22
9. Crane may tip at less than rated loads if the surface is uncompacted or if wet dirt, or soft soil with frozen crust, thin or cracked pavement, or [the surface] is near a hole or ledge. Always use adequate outrigger floats and/or cribbing. See page 2-14. 10.The operator shall not leave the controls while the load is suspended.
Page 23
CAUTION Keep hands out of Anti-Two-Block mechanism. Serious injury can result from moving parts. 17. Avoid two-blocking. A. Stop raising hoist line before downhaul or hook block strikes boom tip plates. B. Pay out hoist line while extending boom. C. Maintain clearance between downhaul weight or hook block and boom tip while booming down.
Page 24
22. Crane has four lifting rings, one at each corner of load deck, for lifting the crane. Use proper slings and rigging methods to keep the load balanced during the lift. Do not lift by the boom. Proper lifting and securing practices are the responsibility of the rigger in charge.
Page 25
TRAVEL: 1. For Pick and Carry operation: Traveling with suspended loads involves so many variables such as ground conditions, boom length, and vehicle acceleration, that it is impossible to devise a single standard rating procedure with any assurance of safety. For such operations, the user must evaluate prevailing conditions and determine safe practices using precautions, such as the following: A.
8. Shut off engine before refueling and remove fuel cap slowly. Vapor pressure in tank can cause a burst of fuel and vapor when the cap is removed. Aways refuel with proper fuel and into proper tank. 9. Know your visibility limitations. Loads being carried on the deck or hanging on the hook can add further limitations to visibility during travel.
Page 27
Normal engine speed-control uses the foot accelerator pedal. On gas engines, only a 3- position switch on the right dash panel provides pre-set engine speeds. Parking brake must be set to activate system. Press the high idle control switch temporarily to the right; the engine will lock into the preset levels.
CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONS The controls for operating the outriggers, boom rotation, boom elevation, boom extension, and hoist are located along the forward dashboard area. The control handles are directly connected to the 3-position hydraulic valves. The placard located next to these handles identifies the function and direction resulting from each handle movement.
5. While warming the engine, set up the Rated Capacity Limiter configuration. 6. Stow boom over front. 7. Pull hoist line snug. 8. Retract outriggers fully. 9. Step on the brake pedal. 10. Release park brake lever. 11. Shift transmission to desired gear. 12.
RATED CAPACITY LIMITER (RCL) A Rated Capacity Limiter is installed on the crane to assist the operator in estimating loads and measuring load radii. Please read the RCL Operation Manual for complete instructions on operation of the system. Following are some additional operating tips. Always be aware that the RCL can stop boom movement at capacity load conditions and in two-blocking conditions.
CRANE CAPACITY Before lifting loads, the operator must read the Crane Capacity Chart and adhere to the load capacities and radii of handling given. The information provided on this chart is based on stability, structural strength, and hydraulic capacity. To operate the crane safely, the operator must know the weight of the load and handling devices, and the radius of the lifting operation.
Page 32
W A R N I N G The Rated Capacity Limiter can suddenly stop the boom lower and swing functions, causing the load to bounce or swing. Use great care when handling a load near capacity limits or near a two-blocking condition. CRANE CAPACITY CHART DEFINITIONS AND RULES: The load radius is the horizontal distance from the centerline of boom rotation (the center of the turntable when it is level), to the vertical load line with the load suspended.
C A U T I O N A capacity load may be carried on the boom, or a capacity load may be carried on the deck, but not at the same time. The total of the percent of deck load and the percent of boom load must not exceed 100%.
SHEAVE BLOCK AND DOWNHAUL WEIGHT The capacity chart shows the approved hoist rope arrangements. The downhaul weight and sheave blocks supplied by Broderson are specially designed to operate the Anti-Two- Block system. Other blocks or downhauls may bypass this system and create a dangerous condition.
TWO-PART LINE REEVING For loads above 10,000 pounds (4500 kg), the sheave block must be used. The wedge socket should be pinned to the 2-part-line lug, as shown in the figure. The dead end of the rope in the wedge socket should be clamped, as shown in the figure. The clamp must not be used on the live part of the rope.
SAFETY DEVICES There are certain safety devices on the IC-100 that are designed to maintain control of a load even though power or hydraulic line failure could occur. The operator should understand the function and operation of these devices so that a continual check on their performance can be made.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLING BOOM EXTENSION ON TIP OF BOOM: Set the outriggers. Raise and extend boom 30 feet (9 m) above the ground, paying out load line until hook is just above ground. Position boom over front, lower, and retract boom leaving the load line on the ground. If the sheave block is installed, remove it.
Page 39
SETTING THE OFFSET ANGLE ON THE OFFSETTABLE BOOM EXTENSION: 1. The boom extension must be installed on the main boom tip & the load line, downhaul weight and wedge socket installed on the boom extension, and secured with all of the retainer pins.
CAPACITY EXAMPLES FOR BOOM EXTENSION The MAIN BOOM and BOOM EXTENSION capacity charts must both be considered when using the boom extension. The smaller capacity specified by the two charts must be used. Refer to the IC-100-3B Capacity Chart on page 2-15 for the following examples: In this first example the boom is elevated to 30°...
FRONT AUXILIARY WINCH: The front auxiliary winch is mounted behind the front bumper and is controlled from the operator compartment. The winch, with 75 feet (23 m) of 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) diameter 6X36- IWRC-EIP wire rope (15,100 pound (67 kN) breaking strength) and 3-ton (2700 kg) hook, has a single-part-line capacity of 5000 pounds (2270 kg) on the first wrap.
PINTLE HOOKS: Available Pintle Hooks allow the crane to tow other disabled vehicles and trailers, and drag loads. Observe the capacity ratings marked near the hook when towing. Exceeding the capacities can damage the drivetrain. Use slow and smooth motions to avoid shock loads or overrunning loads. Make sure other vehicle is occupied and controlling the vehicle being towed.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY RULES 1. Lower load and boom, shut down engine, remove key, and put it in a safe place. Place warnings on the ignition switch and crane controls to prevent unauthorized starting or movement during maintenance. Disconnect battery when disabling crane. Disconnect battery, RCL, and engine electronic module (gas engine only) when welding on crane.
Page 46
15. If it is necessary to work on the boom or outriggers in an un-stowed condition, block them to prevent them from dropping unexpectedly. 16. Use a hoist when lifting components that weigh 50 pounds (22 kg) or more. Follow all hoist and rigging safety rules.
Page 47
MAINTENANCE The Broderson IC-100 Industrial Crane will perform better and longer if a program of inspection, lubrication, adjustment and general preventive maintenance is followed. We recommend the following schedule: NEW UNIT INSPECTION AND TEST The following inspection and test should be made before placing the unit on the job.
Page 48
OPERATOR INSPECTION AND TEST An operator, in the course of normal operation, should make certain observations, inspections, and tests to assure that the unit is ready to perform safely. Daily: 1. Check levels of engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluid. 2.
W A R N I N G Vapor can form inside a fuel tank and cause a build-up of pressure. This can result in a sudden expulsion of gasoline and vapor from the filler neck when the gas cap is removed from a hot tank. Remove cap slowly. Fuel spray may cause injury.
Page 50
500 HOUR OR 6 MONTH INTERVAL: 1. 50 and 250-hour maintenance. 2. 50, 250 and 500-hour lubrication. 3. Change fuel filter element. 4. Change air filter element. 5. Check antifreeze for protection level and cleanliness. 6. Inspect engine fan and belt. 7.
Check the transmission fluid with the dipstick and add fluid through the dipstick tube as required. Use Mobil ATF Type F or equivalent. Transmission factory service manuals are available from Broderson. Order BMC Part Number 990-00021. DRIVE AXLES--HUBS AND DIFFERENTIALS: Maintain lubricant to levels shown here with a Universal Tractor Fluid (UTF), such as Mobil 424 or equivalent.
HOIST CABLE LUBRICATION The hoist cable is a wire rope and should be cleaned and lubricated every 50 hours of normal operation, and more frequently when used in dirty or corrosive environments. Whenever the rope is dirty or dry, it should be serviced. The rope should be cleaned with solvent and com- pressed air or solvent and rags.
Page 55
CAUTION For a correct assembly, it is necessary to have a minimum pre-load of 5% of the cable breaking force. The cable breaking force depends on the diameter and of the cable type, and it must be indicated on the cable certificate. 6.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM The IC-100 hydraulic system consists of two subsystems, driven by a double pump with a single inlet port. The 16-GPM (61 L/min) vane pump supplies the hydrostatic steering function and the boom & outrigger functions. The hoist and brake booster are powered by the 32-GPM (121 L/min) vane pump.
CARE OF HYDRAULIC OIL The hydraulic system contains many highly pressurized, precision components. protect these, it is very important to keep the hydraulic oil clean, at the proper temperature, within the oil specification, and to the proper fill level. The IC-100 is equipped with a 100-mesh suction strainer, a breather filter, a 10-micron return-line filter, and a 25-gallon (95 L) tank.

HYDRAULIC OILS FOR IC-100 AMBIENT TEMP RANGE: -40° to 75°F -15° to 110°F 50° to 130°F (-40° to 24°C) (-26° to 43°C) (10° to 54°C) POUR POINT: -40°F MAX -15°F MAX 0°F MAX (-40°C MAX) (-26°C MAX) (-18°C MAX) VISCOSITY INDEX: 140 MIN 95 to 100 95 to 100...
HYDRAULIC SEALS W A R N I N G Do not check for hydraulic leaks with hands. If a mist of hydraulic oil is noticed around a line or component, use cardboard or other material to check for location of leak. High pressure fluid leaking from a small hole, can be almost invisible, yet have enough force to penetrate the skin.
Page 62
PRESSURE SETTINGS The hydraulic system is divided into two pressure circuits, each having its own protective adjustable relief valve in the inlet sections of the control valve. The functions operated by the control valve sections require different pressures for different functions. These are shown below: 1.
BOOM AND OUTRIGGER CIRCUIT: The relief valve pressure setting at the inlet for boom control sections is 3000 PSI (207 bar). This pressure is required for all but the swing control section. Two work port relief valves are installed in the swing section. These relief valves are set at 1500 PSI (103 bar).
TELESCOPE CYLINDER HOLDING VALVE: A holding valve is directly connected to the base of the primary telescope cylinder rod. The valve is to hold the boom in position should loss of power or pressure line failure occur. The holding valve should be checked with the boom elevated to the maximum angle and the boom extended to a 5-foot (1.5 m) load radius.
COOLING SYSTEM: Check the level of coolant in the radiator overflow tank daily. Add a mixture of antifreeze and distilled water to the overflow tank, as required, to maintain the coolant level. Check the radiator fins for dirt or debris daily, and wash the fins with a pressure or steam cleaner every 50 hours (or as required).
PARK BRAKE TEST AND ADJUSTMENT: Check tightness of parking brake lever daily while operating it. Perform the following test weekly and at the 50-hour maintenance interval: Park the crane on level pavement. While holding the foot brake pedal down, release the park brake lever and adjust the knob on the end of the lever until the park brake feels tight when applied.
