CHAPTER 1 The layout of the operating instructions is designed to make important notes, instructions or warnings particularly clear by using symbols and signaling words. Symbols Danger! These symbols and the Danger! Signal words are used for immediately threatening dangers of fatal injury. Ignoring this instruction will result in death or serious injury for operator and others.
CHAPTER 1 Safety for individuals This unit is an item of working machinery. It has been constructed and built-in accordance with prevailing EU standards, guidelines and safety provisions. During use, maintenance or servicing unforeseen risks to individuals, the device or other things may nevertheless arise. The safety of the operators and other persons must be top priority.
General The present installation guideline is an instruction and technical demand for companies that carry out crane installations and it applies to PALFINGER MARINE PSM-cranes for the Taiko Trading Co. Ltd. Project. PALFINGER cannot be held liable for the consequences/influence of deviations from this instruction.
CHAPTER 2 Overview component transport Visual check for transport damages Check the delivery for any damages (for instance scratches) and report them to the shipping agency immediately, to be entitled to damage claims later. Crane serial number is stated at the type shield (Placed at the rear of the crane column). Control of delivery Before starting to install the crane check the delivery for completeness.
CHAPTER 3 General The following tools are needed to transport and mount this crane model (PSM1200): Set of wrenches: • Set of hexagonal recess wrenches (6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 16mm, 20mm). Set of ratchets including socket wrench (17mm, 19mm, 22mm, 24mm, 27mm, 32mm, 36mm, 41mm). •...
CHAPTER 3 Check of threaded fasteners Caution! Loose, damaged or over-tightened threaded connections can break under load. There is risk of fatal injury. Note! Tighten the screws only using the torque wrench and applying the prescribed tightening torque. Tightening torques [Nm] (not oiled, not lubricated). Values are valid for screws WITHOUT finish (NOT oiled) and with the surface GEOMET 500A or equivalent (maximum tightening torques).
Page 14
Please note: The minimum screw length must be guaranteed. Furthermore, the contact areas (between screw head and HV disk and between the components) must not be painted or oiled. Status: Blank! Regarding possible exceptions, please, contact your PALFINGER MARINE partner.
CHAPTER 4 Crane handling Fasten the crane according to the following picture and bear in mind that the crane components should be lifted only in horizontal position. Load arm: • Weight (1) c. 1,607 kg*. • Use lugs (2) for attaching the unit. Connect lifting cylinder with boom (3).
Page 17
CHAPTER 4 Crane column, mounting base and high stand Weight - hydraulic oil not included c. 2,650 kg*. • • Diameter of lifting lugs - 33mm. * Actual weights will be mentioned on the delivery documents 1630mm * Illustration may differ from this project crane Transport on forklift is permitted in the indicated directions only.
Page 18
CHAPTER 4 Make sure that the crane including pallet is always placed on an even surface. It is prohibited to drag and tug it!
CHAPTER 4 Storage General Cranes, crane components, and accessories must be placed in a suitable storage room in their original package. The storage room must be clean, dry, and ventilated. Corrosive gases, dust, shocks, and vibrations are not permitted. Components must be protected against insects and other small animals and rodents.

CHAPTER 5 Preparation for base assembly Lay out all screws and check their lengths, diameters, quality and quantity. • Lay out all washers and check their diameters and quality. • • Lay out all nuts and check their sizes. Clean all screws of any oil and grease to assemble them in a dry status. •...
CHAPTER 5 Process of tightening When tightening the screws, it is necessary to observe a specific order (see example on the following illustration). The opposite screws have always to be tightened at the same time. Furthermore, it is important that the stability class and the tightening torque of the used screws are kept.
CHAPTER 5 Preserving the screw joints after tightening After having installed the crane and tightened the bolts carry out the following preservation works: Contact gap between flanges • Remove contaminations and degrease surfaces (see no. 3 in illustration below). • Apply Hempadur Mastic 45880 approx.

CHAPTER 5 Fixing the boom, hydraulic hoses, and cables Caution! Installation of the screws must be carried out with the utmost care! An incorrectly mounted load arm may cause accidents! Fit screws as per list of torques. Mounting bolt CPHI0471 (10 kg sledgehammer) + cover CPHT0838 + spacer EK-347M + screw ES- 637M (position A) Mounting bolt CPHI0473 (10 kg sledgehammer) + cover CPHT0835 + spacer EK-347M + screw ES- 637M (position A)

CHAPTER 5 Paint flange connections after assembly Note! After the flange connection has been installed, the paintwork must be redone by the installing company / customer. Flange connection gaps must be sealed by using EZ 740 (3M-Fugenflex white). The connections together with the screws need to painted using the Crane Coating System. * Illustration may differ from this project crane...

CHAPTER 5 Completely mounted crane • Weight (1) c. 4,350 kg*. Use lugs (2) for attaching the unit. • • Connect load arm and mounting base (3). * Actual weights will be mentioned on the delivery documents Weight approximately: 4350 kg * Illustration may differ from this project crane...
CHAPTER 6 Cleanness during assembly When working with hydraulic systems three basic rules must be observed. • RULE 1: CLEANNESS when assembling the hydraulic system. • RULE 2: CLEANNESS during every-day operation of the hydraulic system. • RULE 3: CLEANNESS during control and repair works. Rule 1: Cleanness when assembling the hydraulic system.
CHAPTER 6 Another very important point is that work rooms, working places, tools and clothes must always be kept as clean as possible. While working on hydraulic parts smoking is prohibited. This implies not only a certain fire risk, but the tobacco ash may work like an abrasive in the oil. When the system is being filled with oil it is important to use a filter filling system to filter the oil.
CHAPTER 7 CHAPTER 7 Electric system In this chapter Connecting the electric motor and determining the sense of rotation 31 Venting and cooling the electric motor ... 31 Electric circuit diagram ......32...
Use a measuring instrument with phase sequence display to determine the phase sequence quickly and easily. This measuring instrument can be obtained from PALFINGER MARINE. The control box to start the Y ∆ motor must be designed in accordance with the enclosed circuit diagram so that the motor runs counterclockwise because the field of the three-wire mains rotates clockwise.
Page 36
CHAPTER 7 Venting and cooling the electric motor • The electric motor is vented or cooled, if necessary, using a rotor disk installed within the electric motor. • In cranes of the types PKM, PSM and PTM the electric motor is mounted within the mounting base. Warning! Never close or seal air inlets.
CHAPTER 8 Filling the power pack tank When filling the tank make sure the liquid level reaches the maximum according to level control. When filling the tank, the lifting cylinder must be retracted. Note! Regarding the oil to be used see the recommendations for consumable materials.

CHAPTER 9 Delivery does not include supports for the boom. Note! Move all cylinders slowly and at less than maximum pressure up to the stop to vent the cylinders! Mounting the lifting appliance and pulley head: (if necessary) Thread the rope through the pulley head (1). Attach the lifting appliance (2) at the load rope (3) using a range bolt (4).
CHAPTER 9 Taking the remote control into operation. The remote control must be taken into operation in accordance with the enclosed operating instructions. Bringing the crane into parking position The operator must have full view of all crane movements. What must be observed before bringing the crane into parking position: •...
CHAPTER 9 Checklist after start-up Before delivering the crane to the customer it is required to make a final check following the list below. Check list Has the crane been lubricated? Has the crane been checked for leakages? Has the oil level in the hydraulic system been checked? Have damages (paint, etc.) been removed? Have electrical components been checked for damage? Have all necessary signs been attached?
