    4.1-2 During crane operation 4.1-2 Working position crane Lifting capacity, life time and wear of a crane are also depending on the working position. When workingin inadequate working positions (e.g. steep boom angles) the bolts and bearings are under higher stress than in adequate positions. If the load or accessories rub on the load-bearing boom during operation, this will damage crane and ancillary equipment.

    During crane operation 4.1-3 4.1-3 Load-bearing boom positions Lower limit range: When working with loads do not lower the main boom down to the lower stop. In this position the overload protection is not functional. Avoid working with main boom positions below 0° as working positions. Maximum load moment is not reached.

When the main boom is below the horizontal line (area A) the maximum lifting power can not be reached.
  • Page 49 Loading activity 4.2-2 Never exceed the lifting capacities stated on ancillary equipment and on load lifting gear. When using sling ropes, sling chains and lifting straps observe the loading table of the respective manufacturer. In working with mechanical extensions the permissible lifting capacity of the extension used determines the maximum permissible lifting capacity.

If there is an operational disruption, your service centre can determine the cause of the disruption from the code shown on this display.
  • Page 59 If the crane is in emergency operation status, you have the opportunity to put the crane into the transport position. (You must then visit an authorised PALFINGER workshop immediately). The equipment (bridging bolt) for putting the crane into emergency operation is always located on the Emergency-cut-off solenoid valve.

SHB07 is necessary when the vehicle is not stable in all areas. This is programmed into the system by the body-builder.
  • Page 63 Ancillary equipment 4.4-2 Not supported vehicle If the vehicle is not supported, it may only function connected with the ISC system. Generally no loads can be lifted in such a state. It is however possible to lift the crane out of its transport position to make access possible for service repairs.

  • Page 64: Load Lifting Gear And Ancillary Equipment

    In addition to the crane operating instructions, the operating instructions for load lifting gear or ancillary equipment used must be applied. For some ancillary equipment special tackle from PALFINGER must be used and mounted according to the following sketch, as otherwise damage in the area of load lifting cannot be excluded (loss of warranty!).

  • Page 65: Hook

    Check the hook for obvious damages or wear every time before use. • If the hook is damaged have it checked immediately in a PALFINGER service workshop. • Use only those crane hooks which are adjusted to crane and load.
  • Page 66 4.4-4 Ancillary equipment Working with hydraulic ancillary equipment A range of ancillary equipment (grab, rotator, etc.) is operated hydraulically. Before using ancillary equipment the respective maximum permissible operating pressure must be noted. The hydraulic system of the ancillary equipment is coupled to the crane’s hydraulic system with threaded couplings.
  • Page 67 Ancillary equipment 4.4-4 Multifaster The plug, guide bolt and coupling have to be cleaned every time before starting the Multifaster. Connecting the Multifaster: • Switch off the pump. • Render lines pressure-free by operating the control lever. Open the protective lid (1) until it locks. Press the safety button (2) and open the tightening lever (3).
  • Page 68 Inadequately secured mechanical extensions represent a danger of fatal injury to you and other people. Always use the bolts and spring pins provided by PALFINGER. The maximum load capacity of the crane is always determined by the weakest load taking element.

  • Page 69: Grab Operation

    Ancillary equipment 4.4-5 Overload protection device for extensions: The overload protection device for extensions allows you to operate the mechanical extensions (two maximum) with the overload protection. Working with overload protection device for extensions: • Disassemble the crane hook. • Assemble the overload hook (secure with bolt).

  • Page 70: Cable Winch

    Whenever you use the crane in cable winch operation, the vehicle must be secured horizontally. Use only PALFINGER rope winches, ropes and winch components (deflecting rollers, pulley heads, attaching and safety material, etc.) for the rope winch operation.
  • Page 71 Ancillary equipment 4.4-6 Before start of work (load boom already in working position) install the rope winch components: If crane movements are operated accidentally and/or the safety distances are not kept there is acute danger of fatal injury. Operate the emergency-cut-off switch between one assembly step and the next one. Assemble the pulley head: Move the main boom in horizontal position and the outer boom in vertical position.
  • Page 72 4.4-6 Ancillary equipment Winch components with plastic pulleys: When operating the winch with plastic pulleys the rope may tear off unexpectedly after longer times of operation. Falling down loads may cause acute danger of fatal injury. Always use minimum one steel pulley. When using plastic pulleys exclusively, the inner braid stands may break before the outer braid stands after longer times of use.
  • Page 73 Ancillary equipment 4.4-6 When working with the rope winch without any overload protection make sure that: • Do not overload the rope winch with the lifting power of the crane. • Do not overload the crane components / accessory equipment such as hydraulic extendable arms, mechanic extensions, pulley head, etc.
  • Page 74 4.4-6 Ancillary equipment • On a cable winch with safety device it is ensured that when the rope is wound off at least 3 turns remain on the drum and that the rope is not snapped by unintentional shortening (extending the extension booms).
  • Page 75 Ancillary equipment 4.4-6 Loading and unloading work in rope pulley operation or with long load suspension (observe load limits): Use the rope winch only to lift loads. Any diagonal pull is prohibited. Always work with the lowest possible load moment also in rope pulley operation (long load suspension). This way you increase the safety of the loading or unloading procedure and the useful lifetime of your crane.
  • Page 76 4.4-6 Ancillary equipment If the load arm of the crane is in a near-vertical position, retract the hydraulic extension booms before picking up or setting down the load. Lift the load without extending the extension booms. Lift the load only far enough so that it does not bump against the load arm.

    6.1-4 Lubrication The following maintenance and care instructions apply to all Palfinger cranes. In this Chapter you will therefore find instructions which do not relate to your crane. Inadequate or incorrect lubrication leads to increased wear and therefore to unnecessary repairs (idle time) to the crane.
  • Page 93 Before lubricating the pillar bearing raise the boom to its full height so that the lubricaton grease can spread evenly in the bearings. The pillar bearing should be lubricated via the lubrication points provided by Palfinger. If you lubricate by means of central lubrication ensure that adequate lubrication takes place.

  • Page 94: Operating Hours Counter

    6.1-5 Maintenance Surplus grease is a source of accidents caused by slipping and also contaminates the environment. As most of the lubrication points on the crane involve lubrication loss (grease is consumed or enters the environment), we recommend the use of biodegradable greases.
