  • Page 53: Spooling Wire Rope On Drums

    Assembly Spooling Wire Rope on Drums Care must be exercised when installing wire rope on the winch drum. Improper spooling can. result in rope damage through crushing, kinking, dog- legs, abrasion and cutting. Poorly installed wire rope will also adversely affect the operating characteristics of the machine by causing uneven application of force and motion.
  • Page 54 Apply braking force to the reel flange in order to prevent overrun as the rope is being drawn off. Loops formed by overrun can cause kinks and doglegs in the rope, resulting in damage and premature rope failure. A timber or block forced against the shipping reel flange can be used to provide the required braking force.
  • Page 55 Assembly adjacent turns are tight against one another. A lead or brass hammer may be used to tap the rope over against preceding turns. Tight winding on the drum is absolutely essential. Never use a steel hammer or pry bar to move the rope over on the drum. These tools can easily damage the rope.
  • Page 56 Final seating of the wedge is accomplished by making lifts of gradually increasing loads. avoid imposing shock loads on the rope until the wedge is firmly in place. After the wedge has been firmly seated, a short length (6 inches) of the cable should be secured to the free end of the wire rope to act as a stop as shown.

While the engine is running, check the gauges at frequent intervals and be alert for any abnormal engine sounds or faulty engine performance.
  • Page 93: Making A Typical Lift

    Operating Instructions Making a Typical Lift Making a Typical Lift In making lifts, the operator must successfully coordinate several crane functions. These include the boom raise/lower, boom extend/retract, load hoist/lower and swing functions. Although experienced operators tend to operate two or more of these functions simultaneously, the lift procedure can be broken down into the following sequence of operations.
  • Page 94 The operator must exercise sound judgment in positioning the outriggers. The outriggers should not be set near holes, on rocky ground or on extremely soft ground. Setting the outriggers in such locations may result in the crane tipping, causing personal injury or property damage. Where a firm footing or level ground is not otherwise available, it should be provided by substantial timbers, solid blocking, or other structural members sufficient to distribute the load so as not to exceed the safe...
  • Page 95 Operating Instructions capacity chart for all given loads. Reeving with more parts of line than required may result in all of the wire rope being payed off the winch drum. The intent of this caution is to prevent any possibility of either reverse winding of the rope on the winch drum, which could cause breakage of the winch rope, or of unseating the rope wedge in the winch drum, which could result in the uncontrolled fall of the hook block and load.
  • Page 96 GRADUALLY slow the swing by use of the joystick. First, move the joystick to the neutral position and then VERY SLOWLY into the opposite swing direction position as required to slow the swing. Apply the swing brake, with the foot pedal, when the swing is stopped or when emergency situations dictate that the swing be terminated abruptly.
  • Page 97 Operating Instructions release this lever slowly to minimize dynamic effects of the load and to prevent “birds-nesting” of the cable on the winch drum. To shift the winch into the high-speed mode the winch switch on the front of the joystick must be pressed. When slowing the winch, release switch to bring the load to a gradual stop.

    Operating Instructions Load Rating Chart Interpretation In the following pages are examples of a load chart, these example charts may differ from the chart supplied with your crane. Always use the load rating chart supplied with the crane to interpret the conditions and limitations that exist when making a lift with the crane. The determining factors are lifted load, radius, boom angle, working position, hoist line reeving, tire pressure, travel data, use of a jib, and any other special conditions that exist, such as wind velocity, soil conditions, etc.
  • Page 102 should be removed. In certain instances, it is advantageous, from a job set-up point of view, to lift over the boom point with the jib erected. In these instances, it is necessary to make deductions from the rated loads shown in the load rating chart “Jib Erected But Not Used“...
