  • Page 4 All operations in accordance with rated lifting capacity chart Make sure that all crane operations are in accordance with the rated lifting capacity chart for the crane. Accidents such as the crane tipping over or damage to the boom etc. cannot be attributed but to operation beyond the rated lifting capacity of the crane.
  • Page 5 Don't use the crane to lift the planet !! If you use the crane to pull up or break off objects which have been driven into the ground or buried ( sheet piles, H-beams, posts, pipes etc. ) , or if you try to drag a load toward the crane by raising the boom, you place a strong diagonal load on the boom which may exceed rated lifting capacity by many times.

  • Page 137 WARNING ( 22 ) Never drag a load sideways, hoist it diagonally or drag it toward the crane Using boom lowering and derricking or winch operation to drag the load sideways or hoist it diagonally causes a bending force to act on the boom and can lead to damage of the boom and the slewing mechanism or tipping the crane over.
  • Page 138 WARNING ( 2 ) Beware of overhoisting the hook When the boom is lowered or extended, the hook is wound up, possibly causing overhoisting and damage when the hook block hits the boom top. Normally the overhoisting detector will act to prevent this, but if the detector is inoperative and overhoisting occurs, lower the hook to the proper position.
  • Page 139 WARNING ( 4 ) Never use the main and the auxiliary winches at the same time If the main winch hook and the auxiliary winch hook are each carrying one individual load, the boom and jib can be damaged and the crane may tip over. Never attempt this operation. ( 5 ) If the wire rope has become twisted causing the hook to rotate, untwist the rope before starting work.
  • Page 140 WARNING ( 4 ) Never use the boom to push or pull objects If you use the top of the boom to push cargo along a truck bed or push objects around the construction site, you will damage the boom top. If you push or pull objects by slewing the boom, you could bend the boom.
  • Page 141 WARNING ( 4 ) Check the position of the slewing free/lock switch When the switch is in the free position, beware of slewing drift due to wind or inertia. ( 5 ) Beware of centrifugal force when slewing Slewing at high speed with a hoisted load causes centrifugal force to act on the load which in turn increases the working radius and can cause an overload with the risk of tip over.

When the boom is long or the jib fitted, the crane will tip over if the boom is lowered below the critical angle even if there is no suspended load.

    18-3 Hoisting and lowering ( 611A-0077-0E ) : Set the crane operation switch and main or auxiliary winch switch to the "ON" positions and pull the right or left control lever backward to wind up the winch. : Set the crane operation switch and main or auxiliary winch switch to the "ON" positions and push the right or left control lever forward to lower the winch.
  • Page 196 Precautions on hoisting and lowering ・ Never drag a load sideways, pull it towards the crane or operate the lever violently as they are extremely dangerous to cause a serious accident. ・ Never continue lowering after the hook has reached the ground as this can cause the wire rope to tangle on the drum.

    18-4 Boom extension and retraction ( 4210-3251-0E ) Use the boom extension/retraction switch to select the boom extending or retracting sections. Extend : Set the crane operation switch to the "ON" position and depress the boom extension/retraction pedal forward to extend the boom. Retract : Set the crane operation switch to the "ON"...
  • Page 198 18-4-2 Extension and retraction of the boom sections 3 and 4 ( 611A-0044-0E ) Start these operations when the boom section 2 is fully extended switching the boom extension/retraction switch to the boom sections 3 and 4 side. Extend : Set the crane operation switch to the "ON" position and depress the boom extension/retraction pedal forward.
  • Page 199 When extending the boom, confirm that the boom sections 2 is fully extended before going on to extend the boom sections 3 and 4. If you extend the only boom sections 3 and 4 and proceed to lift a load, the boom could break. When you extend the only boom sections 3 and 4 for periodic inspection such as greasing the boom etc., do so with the outriggers fully extended and...

  • Page 201: Function Of The "Slewing Stop System

    18-6 Function of the "slewing stop system" ( 511A-0057-0E ) When the outriggers are not fully extended, the "slewing stop system" functions by using the ACS to predict how much the crane load will increase as it slews and when the crane is about to enter a region specified in the ACS as restricted from slewing, then gently slowing the slewing movement and automatically stopping slewing before it causes a dangerous situation, such as the crane becoming overloaded or entering a restricted region.
  • Page 202 If the voice warning message "Caution when slewing" is emitted and slewing begins automatically decelerating, try to stop slewing manually by operating the slewing lever in the opposite direction, while paying attention to the movement of the load. Waiting for slewing to stop automatically could result in not stopping properly and overrunning the overload point, if the machine is not level or if there is a strong wind.
  • Page 203 18-6-2 Slewing control when a "slew-restricted region" is specified in the ACS ( 611A-0049-0E ) If a certain slewing region is specified as restricted in the ACS, such as to avoid hitting obstructions when operating on sites with limited working space or avoiding electrocution from nearby power lines, the "slewing stop system" will function in the follow sequence to avoid an accident.
  • Page 204 If the "slewing stop system" malfunctions and slewing is not automatically stopped correctly, follow the guidelines below and promptly contact your authorised KATO dealer and request repair. Even if the "slewing stop system" is functioning normally, slewing may stop automatically under the conditions indicated below, such as an unlevel machine or strong winds.
  • Page 205 ( 611A-0064-0E ) Always obtain permission from the site safety manager before turning the ACS emergency switch to "release" for slewing in an emergency. Furthermore, contact your authorised KATO dealer to request repair. ( 611A-0065-0E ) NOTE Even if the ACS emergency switch is turned to "release", the ACS will continue to emit the voice warnings "Caution...
  • Page 206 ( 3 ) If slewing does not stop even after slewing into the slew-restricted region If the crane is level and a "slew-restricted region" has been specified in the ACS, yet slewing does not automatically decelerate when approaching the restricted region and does not stop when slewing reaches the restricted region, use the following procedure to operate the crane and avoid danger.
  • Page 207 2 ) Voice warning, warning chime or emergency sound emitted depending on extent of entry into restricted region If slewing does not stop automatically immediately before the restricted region, but overruns into the region due to a "slewing stop system" malfunction, unlevel machine or strong winds, a voice warning, warning chime or emergency sound is emitted, according to how far it slewed into the restricted region, to notify the operator of the danger.
