Adherence to the max. lifting capacity of the crane, ancillary equipment and load lifting gear.

  • Page 10: Prerequisites

    The firm operating the crane is responsible for ensuring that the regular inspections required by law are carried out. Any use other than the one intended by the company PALFINGER MARINE as well as constructional changes that affect the stability of load-bearing components need to be approved by the manufacturer.

The “man-riding” basket has to be maintained and protected against corrosion on a regular basis. This action is absolutely necessary as corrosion may lead to a wall thickness reduction (3 mm). Carry out this inspection very carefully every time: alterations or damages not detected because of carelessness or old habits are a major source of accidents.

Ensure there is sufficient light on the working site. The crane must be operated by no more than one operator at a time. During loading activities, the crane operator must always have the hand levers at his fingertips.

  • Page 28: During Crane Operation

    4.1-2 During crane operation 4.1-2 Loading activity Only use the crane for lifting loads and never for freeing, hitting, pulling (dragging) loads, pressing or driving against solid obstacles or for towing. Any angled hoisting is prohibited. The transportation of persons is only permissible in workman baskets specially constructed for the purpose.
  • Page 29 During crane operation 4.1-2 Loads must only be attached and removed when the crane is completely at a standstill. Before moving the load arm ensures that the person who has attached or removed the load is no longer in the danger area of the crane.

  • Page 31 During crane operation 4.1-3 Lowering a heavy load from an extended boom configuration must be performed without increasing the outreach, otherwise the admissible load limit may be exceeded. For cranes with no overload protection or fitted with an overload indicator only, this causes the booms to lower uncontrollably.

    After this see a PALFINGER MARINE authorized repair centre immediately. The device (by-pass screw) that allows you to bring your crane in emergency operation is always on the emergency off magnet valve.

  • Page 36: Additional Equipment

    For some accessories, a special suspension from PALFINGER MARINE must be employed and mounted according to the following sketch. Otherwise, damages to the attachment are possible and such a case is not covered by the warranty.

  • Page 37: Rope Winch

    4.3-2 Rope winch For rope winch operation only use PALFINGER MARINE rope winches, pulleys, pulley heads, etc. Mount the winch components (intermediate pulleys, pulley heads) as shown in the technical sheet. Use the correct bolts and bolt locks for each of the pulleys.
  • Page 38 4.3-2 Additional equipment If during working with the rope winch the rope is wound off to less than three full turns the rope may be pulled out of its fastening in the rope drum. This will cause the load to drop, which means an acute accident danger for you and other persons.

    6.1-5 6.1-5 Lubrication The following maintenance and care instructions apply to all PALFINGER MARINE cranes. Therefore this chapter includes also hints which do not refer to your crane. Deficient or incorrect lubrication causes increased wear out and consequently unnecessary repairs (downtimes) of the crane.
  • Page 54 6.1-6 Maintenance How to grease the bearings on the crane correctly: Before greasing clean the spot thoroughly, yet dirt that gets into the bearing hole together with the grease causes quick wear-out of the bearing. Then press fresh grease into the bearing on the intended grease spots (oil holes etc.) until it comes out off the bearing.
  • Page 55 Maintenance 6.1-6 As the viscosity of hydraulic oils is strongly influenced by temperature changes, compromises during their selection cannot be avoided. The following limiting values are valid for your PALFINGER MARINE work platform: ISO Reference Temperature °C temperature High temperature range: ................10 cSt Cold start limit: ......

  • Page 56: Hydraulic Oils

    6.1-6 Maintenance Biodegradable oils are better for the environment than conventional hydraulic oils. Anyway, even these oils must not be disposed into nature. Releasing oils (including biodegradable oils) into the natural environment is not permitted! The hydraulic oils listed in our recommendation may be mixed with one another, but only mineral oils with mineral oils and bio-oils with bio-oils.

  • Page 57: Oil Change / Oil Maintenance

    Maintenance 6.1-7 6.1-7 Oil change / oil maintenance The annual maintenance of oil can significantly increase its working life. Apart from the saving in costs, this means a drastically reduced amount of waste oil and less contamination of the environment. All rams must be fully retracted when changing the oil or topping up the hydraulic oil.
  • Page 58 6.1-7 Maintenance The following nomogram gives the service life of the fully synthetic ester oils: Max. oil Service life in temperature years Working hours per year The hydraulic oil service should be performed before each cold weather period, or at least once a year.

The pump enclosure is located in the lower part of the crane column and is totally separated from the tank.
  • Page 60 6.1-7 Maintenance Water trap (PSM xxx): Major fluctuations of oil temperature -25 deg to +60 deg may occur during operation of the crane, all depending on location and weather conditions. Condensation in the oil tank is therefore unavoidable. In order to protect against damages due to frost, a drain fitted beside the control stand which allows to be drained accumulated condensation water.
  • Page 61 Cleaning the plant 6.2-1 Cleaning the plant 6.2-1 Cleaning agents and equipment Regular expert care will serve to preserve the value of your crane. How often the crane needs to be washed depends on how frequently it is used, the season, weather influences and so on. Road salt, oils, dust, etc.

  • Page 62: Cleaning The Plant

    6.2-2 Cleaning the plant 6.2-2 Repairing paint damage If you discover paint damage on your crane, you must take care of it immediately. Damaged places must be sanded off and coated with a primer before painting. Repair damaged paint to avoid corrosion! Degrease damaged paint.

  • Page 67 EEx – Crane Models 7.1-1 Overhaul An overhaul comprises replacement of bearings and/or other mechanical components which display so much wear and tear that the operation of the crane is adversely affected. In addition, an overhaul includes a check of all of the crane components (gaskets, washers, deaeration valves, etc.). These materials must be disposed of in conformity with applicable environmental protection laws.
  • Page 68 Safety Data for Cranes Conforming to Directive 94/9/CE As a precaution, make selection with service factor Use only synthetic lubricants (oil and grease). Use washers made of VITON, for example, original PALFINGER MARINE spare parts. Mount deaeration screws with spring return valve (e.g., for gear box).
  • Page 69 EEx – Crane Models 7.1-3 Ambient Conditions The use of the crane in potentially explosive atmospheres or in areas where the use of components protected from explosion is mandatory is prohibited, unless expressly stated otherwise. The data shown on the type plate regarding the maximum surface temperature refers to measurements taken under normal ambient conditions and at a standard installation.
  • Page 70 EEx – Crane Models 7.1-4 Maintenance, service and repair work may be carried out solely by experienced service personnel who are aware of any hazards which may exist. Precautionary measures which will intervene in the event of a dangerous situation and eliminate the risk must be taken for the equipment as a whole.
  • Page 71 EEx – Crane Models 7.1-4 Sliding Points Gliding points must be thoroughly lubricated at specific intervals to avoid electrostatic build-up. This is especially the case for bearing points of plastic bearings (e.g., sleeve pack on the boom extension). Before Starting Up the Crane Every time the crane is started up, a thorough visual inspection must first be conducted to ensure safe operation (e.g., damage to paint, damage to coated load attachments, hooks, etc.).
  • Page 72 EEx – Crane Models 7.1-4 Hydraulic Components Care must be taken that hydraulic components such as pumps do not run hot during operation as defined by the temperature classes (T1 ... T6), or that these parts (including control valves, valves) remain about 20°...
  • Page 73 7.1-4 Crane Settings None of the crane settings may be modified. With the company PALFINGER MARINE the changes must be co-ordinated. Danger from sparking! Speeds which are set too high (e.g., for the winch) are likely to cause a collision! General Normally the cranes are classified as EEx II 3G T3 (T4).
