1 GENERAL
The purpose of this Instructions Manual is to provide the user with useful information regarding crane
handling, transportation, erection, operation, maintenance, disassembling and repairing. This information not
only will allow the user to operate the crane with the maximum safety but also, bearing in mind all its capacities,
obtain a better performance.
To make information retrieval easier, the Instructions Manual is divided into chapters as described in the
following sheets. Prior to crane operation read carefully those parts related to your duty and do not hesitate to
request any clarification or additional information if you should not understand the existing information or if it
should not be sufficient.
Crane operation is restricted to qualified personnel having received proper specialised training and
specific crane information. Apart from the operating instructions, applicable regulations must be taken
into account, specifically those related to safety precautions such as personal protection and hazard
prevention rules.
Prior to crane operation, the owner or user must make sure that any person involved in crane main-
tenance or operation is conversant with the safety and operating instructions regarding his duty,
described in this Manual, as well as with applicable standards and regulations.
Crane safety devices must be closely monitored. Check regularly their correct operation and, in case
of any failure or malfunction, prohibit crane operation.
Subsequent to receiving this manual data concerning the crane can be sent in the form of Technical
Information or Maintenance Reports. It is important that these documents are taken into account and added to
this Manual.
This manual has been issued for a specific crane model and serial number. If based on the modular
design of the crane range, crane model and set-up is changed to other model not contemplated in this manual,
complementary instructions for the new set-up must be applied for.
The Instructions Manual is an important part of the crane and it must be always attached
to the crane in good condition and updated.
Illustrations on this manual do not necessarily correspond with actual product set-up.

Several points must be taken into account before selecting the crane site:
- Requirements inherent to the construction work
- Crane characteristics
- National and local regulations applicable in the site location
1 Minimum clear space for personnel passage between most outreaching crane parts and any obstacle
must be A=0,60 m width by B= 2,50 m height (Fig. 1)
In case this condition cannot be met, access of personnel to this hazardous area shall be prohibited.
Fig. 1
2 Parts of the crane or suspended loads may not at any time get into contact with overhead power lines.
If lines are high voltage lines a minimum safety space of 5 m measured in the horizontal plane must
exist between the lines and said elements (Fig. 2)
Fig. 2
3 If two cranes are close together, their location must be established such that there is a minimum
distance of D= 2 m between jib and mast parts subject to collide.
The minimum vertical distance between the lowest point (hook at the top position, or overhead
counterweight) of the highest crane and the highest point, subject to collide, of the other crane shall be
E= 3 m.
Fig. 3
4 For travelling cranes, an appropriate system must be provided to prevent cranes from getting closer
than any of the distances mentioned in the previous paragraph.
5 In case of cranes working on top of others, adequate measures must be taken to prevent the hoisting
cable or the load from colliding with any part of the lower crane.
6 If the crane is located near a slope, minimum safety distances must be kept for protection against
slips.
If keeping safety distances should not be possible, the slope must be reinforced to withstand the loads
transmitted by the crane. (Fig. 4)

The cross shaped undercarriage consists of one beam and two arms that open having the form of an X.
They are fixed by rods and bolh. To the cross shaped undercarriage are screwed anchorage feet the differnt
types of masts.
To each end of the X is fitted a stabilising base, (fig. 1) a rail travelling. (fig. 2).
These bases must be supported on four concrete platforms or on a single continuous base, and must be big
enough to take the whole undercarriage suitably.
Foundation size is given by the characteristics of the ground and the pressure per corner (see sheets on
“BALLAST & REACTIONS”) in following pages.
In case of rail travelling, it is mounted on the travelling. In order to realise the rail travelling, see documents
"Installation of the crane and of the travelling" and "TRACK ERECTION" in following pages.
The soil must be firm and resistend, and must be adequate to withstand the loads transmitted to the
base.
The crane site must be big enough to allow erection manoeuvres, and any obstacles such as buildings
or power lines nearby should be taken into account
Base must be electrically connected to ground, see instruction "ELECTRIC WIRING AND GROUNDING"
in chapter ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION of this manual.

1 GENERAL
When selecting the crane site, recommendations given in “SITE, WARNINGS” document at the beginning of
this chapter, must be taken into account.
As a general rule, standard UNE 58-101-92 part 2 must be complied with, notwithstanding other applicable
regulations or standards required in the crane site location.
2 TRACK ERECTION
The user must make sure (through certified documentation on soil characteristics or geotechnical surveys) that
the soil where the crane is erected, as well as the foundations are adequate to correctly withstand the maximum
loads specified by the manufacturer.
Track rails and other track elements shall be designed and installed in such a manner as to guaranteeing an
effective transmission of the maximum loads specified by the manufacturer without permanent deflections.

1 Erections and dismantling operations shall be carried out by qualified personnel complying with
applicable regulations related to their function and the location where said operations are being
carried out.
2 The user must make sure that erection setup complies with applicable Regulations and Standards.
This is to say:
- Crane position must keep safety distances to other cranes or buildings.
- Foundations, supports and tracks erected in accordance with the loads transmitted by the
crane setup and required alignment and levelling tolerances.
- Power supply and earth connections in accordance with current regulations and crane
electrical data.
- Accessibility and provision of enough space to carry out erection activities in a safe
manner.
3 Keep operation sequences, safety warnings and instructions given in this manual.
5 If a mobile crane is used for erection make sure it is adequate for handling the heaviest part
taking into account its dimensions and the position of the mobile crane on site.
6 Hoisting accessories used for erection must be duly approved for the loads to be handled. Load
slinging and part handling must be done with care (see document “tackle and slings” in chapter

- Secure the floating pulley "2" to the cable of the ratchet "8" and tighten, unfasten the floating pulley from
the upper rib of the jib.
- Release the trolley from the jib crossbar.
- Remove the cable ties securing the front cable to the jib, if you used them.
- Tighten the cable fall. See section 3.
Fig. 7
The system consists of a lever "1" joined to the actuator arm "2" of the ratchet "3".
Moving the lever rotates the ratchet and retracts the retention cable of the floating pulley "5" and tenses the
trolley cable fall.
Fig. 8
The trolley cable must only be tensioned by lifting a load when necessary, generally when commissioning
the crane and during maintenance operations.
Process:
- With the hook with no load, remove the securing pin "B" from the trolley cable tensioning pulley "1".
Suspend a load from the hook and lift it. The pulley "1" rotates and operates the actuator arm "2" of the
ratchet "3". Deposit the load on the ground, the pulley "1" in conjunction with the actuator arm "2" recover
their position while the ratchet is held by the catch "6".
- Repeat the process as many times as necessary until the trolley cable fall is taut.
- After tensioning, lock the tensioning pulley "1" in its working position using the securing pin "B".
Fig. 9
Leaving the pulley "1" in the tensioning position may cause excessive tension in the trolley cable that
can lead to it breaking.
Fig. 10
BEFORE DISASSEMBLING THE TROLLEY CABLE, YOU MUST REMOVE THE ELEVATION CABLE.
To remove the trolley cable safely, first you need to release the tension in it.
- Lock the trolley cable breakage safety device by replacing the retention pin (R) in the connecting rod.
(See point 4.)
- Use the manual tensioning lever "2" to tension the cable to remove the ratchet retention catches "3".
Rotate the lever in the opposite direction releasing the cable from the ratchet.
Replace the catch retaining the ratchet.
Repeat the operation until the cable is fixed.
(See point 3.1)
- Fasten the floating pulley and unfasten the cable from the trolley terminals.
(See point 2)
- Retract the cable on the trolley mechanism drum for transport.

The crane will be delivered from the factory with the elevation cable wound around the drum "1".
- Release the cable at minimum speed and pass the end of the cable through the swinging pulley "2".
- Take the end of the cable up to the pulley "4" (maximum load limiter) passing through the support pulley
"3" inside the cat head.
- Lower the cable to the trolley cable tensioning pulley "5" and then up to the jib base pulley "6"
- Use an auxiliary cable joining the pulleys "7" of the rear trolley and hook rear to carry out the fall.
- Bring the front trolley and hook to the start of the jib and use an auxiliary cable that passes through the
pulleys "8" and "10", guides "9" of the front trolley and hook to perform the fall.
- Pass approximately 5 m of elevation cable through and position it in the cable terminal "11" at the end
of the cable.
Fasten the elevation cable to the front trolley.
- Using the movement of the trolley take the end of the elevation cable to the tip of jib and fasten the
terminal of cable "11" at the end of the jib, at the rotating point.
- Move the trolley and the elevation several times to check the cable is correctly placed, the movement of
the swinging pulley and the rotational movement of the cable terminal.
The swinging pulley must rotate gently without resistance. For this purpose it has sealed bearings,
greased for life.
If it does not run normally, remove it for replacement or cleaning.
- Tie the rear hook to the hook support at the base of the jib. Fasten the hook to its support.
- Bring the front trolley towards the tip to approximately 5 m from the end of the jib, retrieve the elevation
cable until you can fasten the hook to the trolley.
Fasten the dead end of the elevation cable to the trolley, move the trolley forward, loosen the elevation
cable and free up the cable terminal at the end of the jib.
- Move the trolley back and, at the same time, retrieve the excess cable on the elevation drum. Unfasten
the cable from the trolley and remove the cable terminal, retrieve the whole cable winding it around the
elevation drum.

On the slewing ring, which transmits the slewing movement to the limiter via a cog wheel.
This is a counter type limiter.
2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The limiter has two limiting positions: one for each slewing direction.
3 MOVEMENT LIMITS
The slewing limiter is normally used to prevent the crane rotating more times than permitted
The crane should not turn more than two complete rotations in each slewing direction, counting as from a
position in which the electric cables passing through the slewing ring are not twisted.
This is stipulated to prevent damage to electric cables as a result of twisting.
Note: The crane is delivered from factory with the slewing limiter already prepared for carrying out one and a
half turn in each sense of the slewing.
Nevertheless, it is necessary to verify its correct functioning during the assembly.
The slew limiter on this machine is factory set to two turns in each slewing direction.
4 CHECKING
Ensure that the hook is free and not under load.
Slew the crane to the limit positions and check that the limiter stops slewing there.
If slewing continues beyond the limit position or stops early, adjust the limiter as per point 5 below.
5 ADJUSTMENT

1 LOCATION
This rev-counter type limiter is located on the hoisting winch.
2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The limiter is activated by the hoisting drum.
The drum and the limiter are mechanically linked, usually by direct coupling but sometimes by pinions or chains.
The job of the limiter is to stop the hook movement before it exceeds the working limits set for it.
For instance when the hook is moving up this means before the hook block hits the trolley.
The limiter also includes the device for preventing fast hoisting speeds when the hook is close to the point
where its movement is limited.
4 CHECKING
Ensure that the hook is free and under no load. Move the hook to the upper and lower limits of its travel and
check that the limiter stops it at the required positions. Check also that rapid hoisting speed is not permitted
close to the limit points. While making these checks the crane operator should be ready to stop hook movement
suddenly if necessary.
If the hoisting winch continues to work beyond the set working limits the limiter must be adjusted as per section
5 of this chapter.
5 ADJUSTMENT
IF THE HOOK MUST BE LIMITED ON ITS DOWNWARD TRAVEL FOR REASONS OTHER THAN THE
MAINTAINING OF THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF TURNS ON THE DRUM THIS SYSTEM MUST BE
ADJUSTED AFTER EACH OPERATION TO CHANGE THE NUMBER OF HOOK REEVINGS.
Upward travel limitation does not need to be adjusted after changing hook reevings.
IF THE CRANE IS TO WORK WITH BOTH 2 AND 4 REEVINGS, THE UPPER AND LOWER
HOOK LIMIT SHOULD BE DONE WITH DOUBLE REEVING.
When limiting high spped, take into account the travel required
to slow down from top speed (on cranes with hoisting speed
range selection, select top spped to adjust and check the high
speed limiter)

This rev-counter type limiter is located on the trolley winch.
2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The limiter is activated by the trolley rope drum. The drum and the limiter are mechanically linked, usually by
direct coupling but sometimes by chains.
The job of the limiter is to stop the trolley’s movement before it hits the mechanical stops at the end of the jib.
3 MOVEMENT LIMITS
The purpose of the limiter is to stop the trolley winch before the trolley reaches the stop.
The limiter triggering point is a function of the type of braking, inertia, etc.
Trolley must stop at a minimum distance of 0,3 m from the stop, when the maximum travelling speed is used.
Top speed must be limited earlier, and the trolley must be in low gear when approximately 5 m from the
mechanical stops.
4 CHECKING
Check working whenever the trolley rope is tensioned, and ensure that the hook is free and under no load.
Move the trolley in low gear to the forward and backward limits of its travel and check that the limiter stops it at
the required positions before the stops are reached.
Check also that rapid trolley speed is not permitted close to the limit points. While making these checks the
crane operator should be ready to stop trolley movement suddenly if necessary.
If the trolley winch continues to work beyond the set working limits the limiter must be adjusted as per section
5 of this chapter.
5 ADJUSTMENT
The limiter must also be adjusted whenever the trolley rope is changed.
The limiter has four independent contact blocks:
- blocks 2 and 4 are used to limit hook travel towards the tower and tip respectively;
- blocks 1 and 3 are used to limit top speed. Block 1 is for trolley backward movement and block 3
for forward movement.

2 STANDARD MOMENT LIMITER SYSTEM
3 OPTIONAL MOMENT LIMITER SYSTEM
4 SYSTEM INHIBITER (OPTIONAL)
1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The moment limiter is of the type with a plate spring associated with a set of position limiter switches.
It is in the cat head of the crane (fig. 1).
The load-moment request to which the crane is subjected is transmitted through the structure of the cat head which
involves a compression of the structural tubes to which the plate spring of the limiter system is secured.
The compression of the structural pipes amplified by the plate spring becomes a movement of the actuators
at the end of it.
The position of the actuators "1" can be regulated by the nuts "2".
The actuators activate or deactivate the electromechanical limiters depending on their position

It is activated when the maximum moment permitted for the crane is exceeded.
This prevents the hook being raised and the trolley moved forward.
It activates the crane's horn to give a continuous sound.
In cranes with cabs and the contols integrated in the seat, a warning light lights up on the control
(red).

The value of loads "A" "B" and "C" can be adjusted to comply with the local regulations applicable where
the crane is installed (for example, the local regulations may establish that these switches act before
reaching 105% and 100% respectively).
The value of the loads is obtained from the crane's data sheet, according to the number of falls and the
length of the crane's jib.
The test loads must be manufactured according to the national and local regulations.
The test shall be made with the trolley in the maximum reach position.
Check, lifting the corresponding loads, that the system works correctly.

2.4 Adjustment
The adjustment shall be made with the trolley in the maximum reach position.
Before adjusting the moment limiter system, check the reach limiter works correctly.
In cranes with SR/DR hooks, perform the test preferably in four-fall (DR).
To avoid the pressure exerted by the position switches on the plate spring may distort the functioning of
the maximum load limiter, the order in which you must adjust the moment limiters is:
1. Maximum moment approach limiter
2. Maximum moment limiter
If you only have a test load that weigh equivalent to "A+B" (100% of the maximum tip load) you can adjust
the maximum moment approach limiter with this load.
To do this, place the load "A+B" at a distance "D":
D(90%M) = 0.9 x 40 = 36 m

1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The load limiter is in the cat head of the crane, coupled to the upper pulley the lifting cable passes through.
The pull of the load suspended under the hook is transmitted through the lifting cable and drives the movement
of the adjustable actuators of the system with regard to the position limiter on which it acts.
The position of the actuators "1" can be regulated by the milled nuts "2".
The actuators activate or deactivate the electromechanical limiters depending on their position.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
On the construction site, there will be the following test loads (fig. 2):
A speed limiter with a load greater than that named "C" could cause emergency trips in the frequency
converter as it will let you lower greater loads than it should at higher speeds.
The value of the loads is on the data sheet of the crane, according to of the number of falls with which
you perform the setting.
The test loads must be manufactured according to the national and local regulations.
The checks shall be made with the trolley back and the hook in two-fall.
The functioning of the load limiter must be check daily before starting the normal work of the crane.

1 Regulations
The following regulations have been complied with
Also, other regulations and standards might be applicable and must be complied with as a function of the crane
site.
2. Site switchboard
Electrical supply to the crane must be taken from the site switchboard (standards IEC 60439; EN60439-4).
This switchboard must be provided with a protective enclosure adequate for the actual environment. IP447
minimum protection made of insulating material is recommended.
The electrical supply cable from site switchboard to the crane shall be provided with short-circuit and thermal
circuit breakers. This protection can be accomplished by:
- Line protection thermal magnetic circuit breaker, tripping curves B and C, or above (curves D or K or
motor overload protection)
Breaker current may not be higher than maximum line working current
A differential circuit breaker must also be provided for protection against indirect contacts. This protection and
the earthing of the electrical supply line must comply with national standards and regulations applicable at the
site.
Some crane electric devices like inverters include filters to bring voltage supply quality to a sufficient level. These
filters are passive components which “clean” the supply voltage by blocking high frequency current harmonics
and diverting them to earth. Under some circumstances, these leakage currents can make the RCD (residual
current device) to trip. If such is the case, immunized RCD devices must be used instead.

Earthing must be done by a qualified engineer, and must be adequate for the selected differential protection
against indirect contacts, complying at the same time with local current regulations in force.
Earthing the structure is recommended as a precaution measure against electrostatic discharge, although this
will not guarantee full protection against lightning.
If the crane should need full protection against lightning, it shall comply with jobsite local regulations in force.
If this should be the case, installing lightning arrestors at the power supply connection is recommended for the
protection of crane electrical equipment.
- Minimum earthing lead cross section shall be 35 mm² for copper conductors, or 30 mm x 3,5 mm galvanised
strip.
- Earth electrodes must be driven to a minimum depth of 2 m.
- Leads shall be connected through M10 bolts with lock nuts and washers
- Earth resistance above 20 ohms is not recommended
- Crane structure earthing surface must be ground for a better electric contact
- For cranes on track: Rail ends must be earthed through earth electrodes. Rails longer than 20 m, must
have an earth connection every 20 m. Rail sections must be electrically linked and all rail ends must have
a direct earth connection.

If it should be required, the isolator may be locked in the off position “0”, by means of a lock with key.
The tower cable to be connected to the top cabinet by a quick connect plug comes from this box.
When the crane is used with the internal climbing system, the electric connection box CJA has an
electric terminal for the electric supply of the hydraulic equipment of the crane.
The trolley/slewing cabinet is equipped with an isolator located in the door which disconnects the electric power
supply from the power and movement control circuits.
Cabinet doors can only be opened with the proper key and with the isolator in off position “0”.
The crane is provided with two emergency stop buttons (mushroom type) situated close to the hoisting winch
and trolley winch, for use in case necessary during crane maintenance operations.
The electric cabinets (trolley/slewing and hoisting) are provided with one 2 x 230 V - 1 A outlet, for the computer
connection.
The trolley/slewing cabinet is also provided with another 2 x 230 V -10 A outlet, for other applications.
To prevent electronic equipment from operating at extremely low temperatures or with condensation from
sharp changes in temperature, electrical cabinets are fitted with heating elements and fans to warm up
and renew the air inside them. These units are run by thermostats that monitor the temperature inside
the cabinet so that the heating elements cut in when the temperature drops below 0 ºC, heating elements
and fans run simultaneously when it is between 0 ºC and 5 ºC, and only the fan runs when it is more
than 5 ºC.
The electric power connections of the elements which are not wired at the factory can be easily connected
through quick-connect plugs.
Optional elements such as the spindle drive unit or auxiliary jib are also connected to the cat head cabinet
through quick-connect plugs.
5 CRANE CONTROL
The control of the crane is carried out from the cabin through a quick-connect plug connected to the trolley/
slewing cabinet
In case the portable control is used from the ground, the control cable is connected at the foot of the tower to
a remote control, which in turn is connected to the trolley/slewing cabinet outlet.
The joystick controls can be equipped with a deadman system or zero mechanical interlock, depending on the
applicable standard or owner’s requirements.
When joy-sticks are used, these can also be provided with dead man system or zero mechanical interlock
depending on regulations and user requirements.
For remote control operation, the remote control receiver is connected to the switchgear cabinet instead of
the control cable, using the quick connect plug provided on the cabinet. Thus, only one control mode can be
active.

This limit switch may not be used to limit crane movement in a slewing forbidden area.
Cranes with slip ring unit are not provided with this limit switch.
Good condition and proper operation and calibration of limiters and limit swit-
ches are a must for guaranteeing a safe crane operation.
For more details on limiters and limit switches, see inspection and calibrating instructions in chapter
“ASSEMBLY / DISMANTLING” of this manual, and “CHECKS PRIOR TO START UP”.

- Install the CJA junction box using its support in the base of the crane.
The junction box comes connected to the power cable.
To install it, pull the inner end of the cable roll using the suspension to which it is fixed.
If the machine is equipped with the auxiliary transformer T22 (optional for use with power supply
frequency 60Hz) connect this transformer’s input to the input voltage available at the connection point.
You can choose between values from 480V to 520V, which guarantees that the transformer output
provides a voltage of 460V 60Hz for the crane to function.
- Install the power supply in the tower by fixing the intermediate suspension with a maximum of around 40
metres between suspension points.
The power cable must be connected by qualified staff and according to the instructions indicated in this
manual for the “ELECTRIC WIRING AND GROUNDING”.
At this moment, once the electric power supply is switched on and by connecting the control E9, E5 and
E933, you can rotate the rotation assembly to facilitate assembly of the jib and counter-jib.
To make this operation without the trolley plug E1/2 connected, you must connect the overhead plug
E1/2 that is in the lower part of the trolley/rotation control panel to its corresponding E1/2 in the base of
the control panel.
- Once the jib is fitted to the rotation assembly, connect the trolley mechanism using the pluggable conduits
E1/1 and E1/2.
Connect the fall change limiters E34 and E35.
- If you are dealing with a mobile crane, connect it from the cat head control panel to the transport control
panel in the base, both for potential and manoeuvre, passing the cables through the same place as the
current supply of the crane. Install the run limiter in its working position and connect the conduits of the
transport motors.

Travelling is accomplished by two squirrel cage electric motors.
There are two travelling speeds for each direction. For this purpose, the most adequate stator voltage values
are selected. The special motor design philosophy enables a very low first speed without excessive heating.
Command signals from the operator cab are adequately controlled through switchgear.
This way the following functions are obtained:
2.2 Safety
- Temperature limiter
If the electronic board temperature is above a safety limit, the motor power supply from the power
block is interrupted.

For doing this, the following points must be taken into account:
POT1 Adjustment must be carried out such that a proper first speed is attained for the site work condi-
tions.
Because of high starting torques and wherefore high mechanism, driving crown and structural
stresses, going above 300 V in 400 V 50 Hz grids or 360 V in 480 V 60 Hz is not recommended.

4 OPERATING TABLES
There are three speeds in either direction. The most suitable values for stator supply and decelerator voltages
are selected to achieve this. The special concept of the motors allows a really reduced first speed without the
need for high braking values, thereby avoiding excessive heating.
The control signals from the crane operator´s control are received in the BCR30 control card, which governs
both the power stages of the motors, control gear and BPR power blocks, as well the decelerators and elec-
tromechanical parking brakes.
- gradual shift between speeds, producing a high degree of smoothness during acceleration
- protection against a sharp reversal in operating direction from the control
- adjustment of first speed value
- adjustment of second speed value
- movement braking via supply to decelerator and subsequent actuation of electromechanical parking
brake
- adjustment of movement braking torque value
- protection against supply phase fault
Movement is blocked by electromechanical brakes located in the motors. These brakes are actuated once mo-
vement has been stopped by the motor decelerator braking. In case of need, there is a pushbutton to actuate
the brakes.
While transfer movement is taking place an alarm siren at the foot of the crane sounds intermittently to warn
anyone in the vicinity.
- Supply for decelerator braking, depending on the speed selected by the operator.
- Control of the BPR power changer for supply of the motor stator.
- Intelligent anti-reverse protection, distinguishing the speed point from when reverse starts.
The BCR30 card can control one or several "BPR" power blocks, depending on the number of motors involved
in a movement.
- Thermal limitation.
If the temperature of the electronic circuit exceeds a certain safety level, then the maximum voltage which
may be supplied for decelerator braking is reduced to 10 Vdc.
- Incorrect control.
If the card receives commands to operate in both directions, no output will be produced, and the slewing
system will remain at rest.
- The card incorporates a green indicator Led:
On (steady) = normal operation.
Flashing = operation with thermal limitation.
Off = failure of supply to card.
2.3 Regulation.
The system includes the facility to set four parameters, each with its own potentiometer located in the "BCR30"
control card.

This system incorporates a pushbutton in the operator's control to brake movement. The button cancels
the delay in the actuation of the electromechanical brake, and may be used, for example, to lock crane
travelling once it has already been stopped by dynamic braking, and there is a strong wind prevailing.

motor with the rated mains voltage.

se:

- Motor consumption, and therefore heating, is greater at low speeds.
- Slewing starting torques are greater, so that the demands on mechanisms, and crane structurE
are greater.
Power block output voltage values should be similar, to avoid motors working out of balance.

4 OPERATING TABLES
Slewing movement is effected by one or more resistive rotor motors in short circuit with decelerator (eddy-current
brake). The motors drive through speed reducing gearboxes which, in turn, drive the slewing ring. Movement
is very smooth during both acceleration and deceleration.
There are three speeds in either direction. Mechanisms governed by the pushbutton unit have two speeds,
the intermediate speed being a step prior to maximum speed. The most suitable values for stator supply and
decelerator voltages are selected to achieve this. The special concept of the motors allows a really reduced
first speed without the need for high braking values, thereby avoiding excessive heating.
The control signals from the crane operator´s control are received in the BCR30 control card, which governs
both the power stages of the motors, control gear and BPR power blocks, as well the decelerators and elec-
tromechanical parking brakes.
The following functions are possible as a result:
- gradual shift between speeds, producing a high degree of smoothness during acceleration
- protection against a sharp reversal in operating direction from the control
- adjustment of first speed value
- adjustment of second speed value
- movement braking via supply to decelerator and subsequent actuation of electromechanical parking
brake
- adjustment of movement braking torque value
- protection against supply phase fault
Movement is blocked by electromechanical brakes located in the motors. These brakes are actuated once mo-
vement has been stopped by the motor decelerator braking. In case of need, there is a pushbutton to actuate
the slewing brake.
Weather vaning is carried out remotely from the crane operator's control, and may be effected manually in the
event of a power cut.
This card receives the signals from the operator´s control and provides suitable supplies to the motor stator
and for decelerator braking.
It covers the following functions:
- Supply for decelerator braking, depending on the speed selected by the operator.
- Control of the BPR power changer for supply of the motor stator.
- Timing, steps between speeds.
- Intelligent anti-reverse protection, distinguishing the speed point from when reverse starts.
- Timing the actuation of the motor´s electromechanical brake.
The BCR30 card can control one or several "BPR" power blocks, depending on the number of motors involved
in a movement.
- Incorrect control.
If the card receives commands to operate in both slewing directions, no output will be produced, and the
slewing system will remain at rest.

1 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Winch movement is governed by the frequency invertor to provide completely progressive motion, free from
sudden changes in speed, and in accordance with the command given by the crane operator’s control sender.
The control has 4 stepped speed points from minimum to maximum permitted speed, depending on hook po-
sition and load demand on the crane at that particular moment. (See load/speed diagrams).
As the hook approaches the end of travel, the maximum hoisting speed is automatically reduced (fast speed
pre-limitation).

operating modes
The mechanism has two operating modes:
- normal
- positioning
Positioning mode allows high precision at low hoisting speeds. Selecting positioning mode reduces the maxi-
mum speed and automatically steps the 4 speed points down to this new value.
Changes in operating mode (normal to positioning or vice versa) may be made during hoisting with no problem
whatsoever.
2 LIMITATIONS ON MOVEMENT
The following limiters can act on the hoisting system.
- Hoisting limit switch.
Four (4) limiter microswitches
- Rapid ascent (LSR).
This reduces the range of speeds before final ascent limitation is reached.
- Ascent (LS).
This halts the upward movement of the hook.
- Rapid descent (LBR).
This reduces the range of speeds before final descent limitation is reached.
- Descent (LB)
This halts the downward movement of the hook.
- Maximum load (LC) and maximum moment (JM) limiters.
These prevent upward movement.
- High speed descent load limiter (LCR).
This reduces the range of speeds during hook descent.

sudden changes in speed, and in accordance with the command given by the crane operator’s control sender.
The control has 4 stepped speed points from minimum to maximum permitted speed, depending on trolley
position and load demand on the crane at that particular moment. (See load/speed diagrams).
If the crane approaches the limit of its travel or the crane is loaded to more than 90% of the maximum permitted
moment maximum speed is automatically curtailed (pre-limiting of fast speed).

The invertor display may show information other than the above which can be of use during operation. When
voltage is supplied to the invertor, the value of parameter CP.1 appears on screen.
The function key (FUNC) is used to change from parameter value to parameter number and vice versa.

One thing to take into account is that when voltage is removed from the invertors, they enter a period of discon-
nection when their incorporated capacitors discharge. If the crane start button is pressed during this period, the
invertor might not start up properly and may remain in the trip situation. If this happens, the stop-start sequence
must be repeated.
In any case, when the invertor trips off it is a good idea to note down the on-screen message and check the
cause.
Consecutive trips with a high frequency may cause excessive wear of the motor brake and a loss in
braking torque.

6 CHECKING OPERATION
1 DESCRIPTION
The crane is prepared for weather vaning by releasing the brake on the slewing motor(s), leaving the upper
crane free to move with the wind. The brakes are released remotely via the release units on the brake cover
of each slewing motor.
A control box in the operator’s cabin (or at the base of the crane when there is no cabin) governs the release
units.
In case of a power cut-off or malfunction in the release system, weather vaning can be done manually.
2 OPERATION
Weathervaning sequence (Fig. 1)
1 Opening the motor brake causes the manual lever (1) to move upwards
2 The electromagnet (5) attracts the moving armature (2) and positions it below the manual lever
(1).
3 When the brake drops the manual lever (1) rests against the moving armature (2), preventing the
brake from closing and weathervaning the crane.
Activating weathervaning
1 The crane must be in operation.
2 Press the weathervaning button on
the crane control panel and wait 5-10
seconds. If the crane siren is still
blowing after that time, the crane is
weathervaned.
3 Press Stop to cut the siren.
4 Press Start. The siren should continue
to blow when the Start button is
released.
5 Press stop to cut the siren.
Deactivating weathervaning.
1 Engage the slewing control with the
crane in operation.
Some cranes have a lamp on the weathervaning button to indicate that weathervaning is engaged.
el dispositivo de veleta está activado.
3 MANUAL OPERATION
If there is a malfunction or power cut-off the slewing motor brakes can be
released manually.
1- Lift the lever, overcoming the resistance of the brake springs, and
keep it lifted.
2- Press and hold down the button.
3- Release the lever.
4- Release the button.
This procedure should be repeated with each release unit.
Repeat the process on each release unit

5 ADJUSTMENT
To regulate the unblocking weather vanning, proceed as follows:
1- Manually lift the unblocking lever (1).
2- Push the button (3) until the mobile armature (2) comes inside
under the lever (1).
3- Unscrew the nut (4) in such a way that the distance "a" between
armature (2) and lowr part of the lever (1) when this is lifted at
its highest be approximatively 0.5 mm.
4- Check electrical operation: the armature (2) should enter freely
when the weathervaning button is pressed on the crane controls,
and should release when slewing movement is commanded. If
it does not, slacken the self-locking nut (4) 1/12 of a turn (half a
facet) and try again.
importante: The brake gap should not be less than 1 mm if weathervaning is to be regulated
correctly.
6 CHECKING OPERATION
Weathervaning must be used in windy conditions: if the jib points in the direction of the wind then the weathervaning
system is working correctly.
To check weathervaning when it not windy, proceed as follows:
1- Ensure that the crane can turn freely with no obstacles in its path.
2- With the trolley back and the hook raised and under no load, engage first gear and slew slowly.
3- Still in first gear, press the weathervaning button (the crane siren will sound).
4- Still slewing in first gear and with the weathervaning button engaged, press the stop control and check
that the jib continues to turn freely under its own inertia.
5- If it does not do so, readjust the brake gap (which should be 1 mm) and adjust the weathervaning
system..

1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The basic configuration has a wind-speed sensor (1), which is connected to the control and signalling unit
(2).
The system operates as follows:
- The control and signalling unit is electrically powered from the crane electric cabinet.
- The orange luminous beacon is activated when the wind-speed exceeds 50 km/h.
- The red luminous beacon and warning siren are activated when the wind-speed exceeds 70
km/h..

2 OPERATION CHECK
2.1 Indication and control unit
- Check the operation of the beacons and siren as follows:
- Check the crane is powered.
- The switches at the bottom of the crane and the general switch on the electrical cabinet are
in the ON position.
- Press the stop button in the crane control and then press the start button (radiocontrol,
telecontrol or seat).
- This procedure allows to detect a problem in:
- Orange or red beacons.
- Siren.
- Unit power supply.
The device checks the proper operation of the red and orange beacons and of the siren by switching the
beacons and the siren (each beacon should blink twice and the siren must horn once).
- If one or several elements do not operate, this is because there is a problem in the electric supply
or in the elements themselves.
During this test, physically cover the siren to prevent being deafened by the noise this produces.
- Double check that the control and signal code units are properly fixed by the magnets and check
that the unit is appropriately secured to the crane structure with the fastening line (7) which is
supplied.
- Check that the unit is visible from the crane operator’s control position.
Necessary material:
- Cabin wind velocity display.
Instructions:
A. Connect the cabin wind velocity displayto the control unit (See Point 4).
B. Move the wind velocity detector cups either through the action of the wind or by turning them by
hand.
C. Check that there is a velocity reading on the cabin wind velocity display.
Necessary materials:
- Cabin wind velocity display.
- One complete portable anemometer with built-in display.
Instructions:
A. Connect the cabin wind velocity display to the control unit (See Point 4).
B. Install the portable anemometer pickup near the crane pickup and under the same wind reception
conditions.
C. Compare the wind velocity readings on the two displays (the check will be much more effective if
the auxiliary anemometer is calibrated).
Fig. 2
The device can be configured in different ways, by changing a set of 4 mini-switches 4 placed inside it. The
different functions that can be activated or deactivated are: autotest function, configuration in which the device
must be reinitialized after the 70km/h alarm is activated, cancel the acoustic warning when working close to
low noise areas like hospitals, residentials...
To access to the connections or configuration, loose the screws that fix the small bottom cover.
ON (1) Autotest ON
DIP1
OFF Autotest OFF.
After the wind-speed goes above 70 km/h , the ALARM remains activated , even if the
ON speed goes to 0 km/h (The alarm will be deactivated only after the unit supply is switched
DIP3 off for more thatn 15 seconds).
OFF (1) The ALARM is deactivated immediately after the speed goes below 70 km/h.
The DIP4 configuration is exclusively to be changed by an authorised person. Its proper position is ON.
Otherwise, the device indicates a "SENSOR FAILURE"
Before changing the position of the switches, ensure that it complies with the required standard for the
installation and that the new alarm method (sound and visual) is understood by the crane operators.
3.3 Alarms.
The device includes the following alarm modes:
- At 50 km/h only amber light, and at 70 km/h only red light.
- At 50 km/h only amber light, and at 70 km/h red light + siren.
The default factory setting is "at 50 km/h only amber light, and at 70 km/h red light + siren".
Fig. 3
In case there is any abnormal behaviour signal at the sensor, a cable that has been cut or an improper connection,
the system beacons intermittently blink until the problem is solved.
4 RS 485 WIND-SPEED OUTPUT
The control and signalling unit (Fig. 4) is equipped with an RS 485 output that allows a fast connection to the
indicator system in the cabin. Refer to the crane wiring schematic for more details.
Fig. 4
This heater system is supplied from a point which is placed before the general crane contactor G (see wiring
schematic) . If the general switch of the crane (IG) is ON and the crane bottom switch is ON, the heating system
will be operative, regardless the stop control is pressed or not. This allows the system to melt the frost even
when the crane controls are switched off.

INDICATORS SHALL NEVER replace a scale and should never be used as a substitute
for the crane load and moment limiters.
Data displayed are simply indications and cannot replace the personal supervision
of the operator and his own impresion of the size of the load being handled.
any change on the crane configuration may result in a bad operation of the indi-
cation, data logging or forbidden zones system. after any crane configuration
change, it is necessary to readjust the system and check that the unit is fully
operative and properlyworking.
the forbidden zones system alone should not be used to avoid to drive the
crane above pipe installations that might contain flammable liquids or gases.
the forbidden zones system shall not be used to avoid to drive the crane above
electric cables. on such situations, it is necessary to make a safety assessment
and take additional measures (i.e. mounting the crane so that there is no possi-
bility of interference with the cable) that lead to a proper risk reduction.
Before beginning to use the system, it is compulsory to properly train the operator. Furthermore, the
maintainer of the crane or whoever performs any adjustment or change on it, must carefully read
this manual until he understands the working principle and the procedures for its adjustment.
The indication screens on this document may suffer some change as a result of any improvement of the
system software.
DLZ341 may optionally include the following special functions (on demand):
- Extended indication (the system can be supplied with additional information like slewing position
or travelling position).
- Forbidden zones system (prevents the hook from entering the areas defined by the user. If the
system is equipped with forbidden zones, it must include the slewing sensor and the travelling
sensor, if needed, to properly perform the forbidden zone function).
The addition of new functions to a crane with the system basic configuration is possible through addition of
an upgrade kit (contact factory for more details). The kit is made up of an informatic software upgrade and of
additional hardware (slewing and travelling sensors, electrical cabinet IM45 interface...).
Additional functions are always based on the basic system configuration. It is not possible to install an optional
function without previously installing the basic system.
COMANSA does not supply anticollision system (a system which avoids the risk of collision between
working cranes), however, a dedicated plug which gives access to the proper electrical points where the
connections of such a system must be done is supplied.
Screen messages use pictograms recommended by FEM1003 standard which list the symbols to be
used on tower crane indications, so that an effective and error-free communication is achieved.
The indication function offers an instantaneous and intuitive sight that shows the load state of the crane and
the crane position. The data are represented in numerical format and also as a progress bar, allowing a faster
and easier understanding.
Further information on the indication function may be found in point 5 of this document.
The data logger function supplies information referred to the crane operation (number of working hours of each
winch, number of overloads, information on the last movements, alarms…).
Further information on the data logger function may be found in point 6 of this document.
The forbidden zones function allows the user to define a number of zones where the hook will be prevented
from entering. Once the system is properly adjusted, the crane stores the zones information in memory and
operates in an intelligent way, automatically preventing the hook from entering into the forbidden areas.
Further information on the forbidden zones function may be found in point 7 of this document.
The installation and setting up of the DLZ341 system must be performed by qualified people, specially
trained and with a good understanding of this document.
There is no element within the DLZ341 system that needs any maintance by the crane operator.
Any change in the crane configuration may demand a readjustment on the DLZ341 system (see 4.9).
The commissioning of the unit should be done at the same time as the commissioning of the crane.
The UCDL46 indicator screen shows a question mark in the indication numerical field of a sensor if the asso-
ciated sensor is bad adjusted or is not properly sending the signal. It will also be represented by an error code
in the left zone of the screen (see appendix 4) .

10 Travelling position sensor (if the crane is allowed to move on a railtrack).
11 IM45 relays interface unit for the intelligent movement stop.
Picture.1 is a sketch and the real position of the devices on the crane may change depending on crane
models.
UDCL46 screen is the only interface between the system and the crane operator.
It can also be used to program and adjust the unit and to diagnose the system state.
The IMDL46 terminal box supplies and links every subsystem (sensors, IM45, UCDL...), and acts as a sensor
signals and electrical cabinet signals hub.
Communication flow between each element and the central unit (which lies inside the UCDL46) always goes
through the IMDL46 unit and is done by means of a CAN bus network protocol (Control Area Network).
The CANANA units are electronic modules which convert the trolley, hoisting and moment analog signals into
digital signals, that can be transmitted and understood through the CAN network.
The load cell contains an amplifier that transforms the strain gauge mVolts signal into Volts. The Volts signal is
later converted into a digital signal within the IMDL46 unit.
The anemometer is an optional device. The anemometer signal is sent to the IMDL46 unit and is transformed
to a special digital format different than the CAN format.
DLZ341 allows to integrate the reading of the windspeed on the indication screen. The installation of the ane-
mometer and the way to connect it to the DLZ341 system is further described in the anemometer document.
The travelling sensor also sends the information to the IMDL46 in CAN bus digital format.
The following table shows the elements description, their location and the configuration option that includes
them.

switched off to avoid damages.
The UCDL46 unit is mounted inside the cabin on a fixing bracket that permits several rotations and movements.
It allows the crane operator to set an optimal position from an ergonomic point of view.
To adjust the display position and orientation, loose both swivels, set the unit to the desired position and tighten

Digital signals coming or going into the crane electrical cabinet go through the multipole fast plug (9) connected
at the bottom of the IMDL46. This plug carries the signals needed for the data logger function.
The green fast terminal connectors on both sides of the IMDL46 connect devices which are permanently insi-
de the cabin and, therefore, do not need to be connected or disconnected every time the crane is erected or
dismantled (power source, IMDL46 to UCDL46 connection...). They are also used to connect some optional
devices (anemometer, travelling…)
The following table describes the functions of the various devices which are connected to the IMDL46 through
green fast connectors:

is available in the electrical wiring diagram.
3.4.3 IM45 system to seat-radiocontrol interface (forbidden zones option)
IM45 is fixed to the cab electrical cabinet by means of 4 magnets on its back.
IM45 system-seat-ra-
diocontrol interface- IM45 to IMDL46 CAN
giro connector
Fig. 4
IM45 consists of a relays interface that deccelerate and stops the crane movements when the crane approaches
to any of the forbidden zones (see 7).
The relays contained in IM45 can stop the signals going from the seatcontrol or radiocontrol to the electrical
cabinet.
The following sketch shows the concept which allows the system to control the crane movements.
The cabin is wired (Fig.5) in such a way that allows the IM45 to selectively stop the crane movements . Further
information on the connection of each device and on the electrical cabinet signals to the IM45, is available in
the electrical wiring diagram.
Fig. 5
If the system does not include the forbidden zones function, a bypass plug replaces the IM45. This bypass plug
re-establishes the path between IM45 and the electrical cabinet, thus allowing the normal work of the crane.
IMPORTANT NOTE: the removal of the bypass plug stops the crane immediately as when pressing the emer-
gency stop button. Do not remove the plug when moving the crane. A bad connection of the IM45 or of the
bypass plug leads to the stop or prevention of some or every movement.
The trolley and hoisting sensors CANANAs are screwed inside the hoisting and trolley limiter.
The moment sensor CANANA is placed close to the moment inductive sensor and is fixed to the crane structure
by means of a magnet. Moment CANANA must be vertically placed and must be close to the inductive sensor
to prevent water from entering.
IIt is necessary to identify the CANANAs on the CAN network, so that the IMDL46 knows which sensor co-
rresponds to each signal. To do so, every CANANA has got a switch set named SW2 that must be adjusted
as per picture. 6.

The trolley and hoisting analog signals come from a potentiometer of resistance between 0 and 10 kOhms (1,
in picture 8). The potentiometer axle is connected through a gearbox to the rotating axle of the mechanism
(trolley or hoisting). The analog signal is then translated to a digital signal comprehensible by the CAN network
through a CANANA unit (2 in Fig. 8). (See 3.3.4).
The following picture identifies the potentiometer and the CANANA position within the limitter.The potentiometer
adjustment is independent of the limit switches adjustment.

It is necessary to set up each CANANA so that the IMDL46 can identify to which sensor corresponds each
signal received. To do so, the SW2 switches of the CANANA must be set up as shown in 3.3.4.

The moment is indirectly estimated by measuring the movement of the moment leaf spring. The movement of
the leaf spring increases as the moment exerted by the load on the crane increases. The movement is measured
through the inductive sensor drawn in Fig. 13.
The inductive sensor generates an analog signal (4-20 mA) which is then translated to a digital signal through
a CANANA (see 3.3.4).
The CANANA digital signal is sent to the IMDL46.
The connection between the moment inductive sensor and the CANANA is shown in Fig.13.

WHEN ADJUSTING THE MOMENT SENSOR IT IS NECESSARY TO CHECK THAT THERE IS NO POS-
SIBILITY OF GEOMETRICAL CONTACT BETWEEN THE INDUCTIVE SENSOR AND THE MOMENT
LEAF SPRING OF THE CRANE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
To connect the load cell to the IMDL46, it is enough to connect the cable with the fast CANM12 connectors to
the load cell.
The signal is generated in the load cell by means of a gauge bridge. The signal conditioning is done through
an amplifier, inside the load cell.
The load cell translates the strain applied on it to a voltage signal which goes from 0 to 5 Vdc. This signal is
sent to the IMDL46.

The connection between the Slewing sensor and the IMDL46 is done through a CAN M12 cable.
The slewing angle is transmitted to the sensor through a pinion connected to the luffing ring.
The pinion transfers the slewing movement to an axle which is reduced through a gear inside the slewing sensor
box, and then it is transferred to an absolute encoder in a 1:1 ratio.
The absolute encoder signal is transformed into a CAN signal inside the slewing sensor box by means of an
electronic board.
The slewing sensors are different depending on the crane models as the gear ratio and the teeth number and
modulus depends on the slewing ring model.

This function allows the correction of the deviation due to the slip on the track-wheel contact every time
the crane passes through this railtrack position.
When the railtrack is long, an additional reset sensor can be supplied so that the readjustment can be
done in two positions of the track.

el.
3 An inductive sensor for repositioning, to reset the error due to the slip in the contact between wheel and
track.
For long tracks, a second repositioning sensor may be necessary.
4 A bracket for the repositioning sensor and its screws and bolts. A second bracket is delivered when two
repositioning sensors are used.
5 A repositioning flag to weld along the track. A second repositioning flag is necessary when two reposi-
tioning sensors are used.
Some of the following steps imply an important crushing danger. DO NOT hesitate to lock the travelling
winch when necessary and to ensure a good and permanent communication with the crane driver.
- Encoder:
The encoder is mounted in a TER GF4C limiter. It generates spaced pulses when the wheel rotates.
TER GF4C limiter is fixed by means of a bracket and is connected to the wheel or gear axle depending
on the bogie type.

Unit programming
Before any new programming, restore the default values. The CAD40 restarts, and you must type the secret
code again to be able to change settings.
The value is adjusted one digit at a time, starting from the most left digit. Press «S» to go to the next digit.
The last «S» validates the complete value.
To enter the values of inits 1 and 2, it is possible to directly take the value by simultaneously pressing «+» and
«S», starting with «+».
The complete programming menu is the following : (the chapter numbers are for guidance only in this
document)
1. Setting:
1.1 Secret code: (from 000 to FFF)
1.2 Language: (F / GB / D)
1.3 Sensor type: (travelling/trolley/hoisting)
1.4 Use of inits: (none/ 1 / 2 / double 1 (secure))

After restoring the default values, the language is French.
Init 1
Use it to set the value of init 1.
If no init is used, this value is unnecessary. For 1, 2 or a double init, this value is taken into account.
It is possible to define the current value as the init value by simultaneously pressing «+» and «S», starting with
«+».
After restoring the default values, the CAD40 is defined as a travelling sensor and init 1 is set to 500.
Init 2
Use it to the value of init 2.
If using a single init , or if using double init is used, this value is unnecessary.
It is possible to define the current value as the init value by simultaneously pressing «+» and «S», starting with
«+».
After restoring the default values, init 2 is always 0.
2. Options
2.1 Max acceptable reset on re-init: 1 to 50.
Used to set the max slip beyond which a fault is generated.
At the level of the init marker, the software determines the correction to be applied to the value it has in memory
to reset the init value. If the difference is greater than this «max reset», an internal fault is generated. The red
LED comes on and an error message can be read.
After restoring the default values, the max reset is 15.
2.2 Pre-division factor: 1 to 100
This function is used reduce the number of flags. If «N» is the value of this factor, the CAD40 will increment by
1 every N flags only. This function is to be used only in special cases.
After restoring the default values, the pre-division factor is 1.
3 Information
3.1 Software information.
Software version and checksum.
The sensors have a LED on their back to check their status (detection or not). This status can also be checked
on LED 1 to 4 in the CAD40.
It is necessary to take the slack of the wheel on its axis into account. Depending on the travelling track this
slack can be very important and modify the distance flag/sensor you may have adjusted.It is then required to
check that both sensors detect all flags and only the flags all along the track to avoid any error in the counting
and then the positioning of the crane.

To achieve it, while you travel the crane from one side to the other of the track, look at the LED 5 (SENS POSITIF)
in the CAD40. This one must be permanently ON (or OFF, depending on the direction of travelling). If the LED5
flashes even a short while during the crane travelling it means that one of the sensors didn’t detect a counting
flag (gap between flag and sensor to big), or detected the wheel (gap between flag and sensor to small).
If this is the case, readjust the sensor and then repeat the previous operation several times to ensure a good
counting all along the track.
While keeping the repositioning sensor(s) disconnected in the CAD40, move the crane till the repositioning
sensor is completely above the repositioning flag (Fig.21). Setting and for the corresponding sensor (I1 or I2)
enter the Init value. You can either read this value in the main screen (number of impulses) or learn it directly.
Re-plug the set sensor.
Repeat this step for the second repositioning sensor if necessary.

During the drawing of the zones, it is possible to modify any of the previously defined points. It is not possible
to do so after saving the points.
Pictograma EXPLANATION
1 To modify the points P1 or P2, first select the desired point in the selection
field.
2 Place the hook at the desired point and register it by pressing V.
To modify P3, enter the field and manually modify the depth value.
It is possible to invert the depth sense with respect to P1-P2 by using the

At each point, the system registers the slewing , the trolley and travelling (option) coordinates
.
If the hook height forbidden zones management is chosen, it is necessary to define a fourth point named Pz to
define the minimum hook height allowed in each zone.
Pictogram explanation
Select it to indicate that the system will automatically close the polygon by
4 drawing a line between the first and the last point.
Select it always.
Hook lowest position allowed in the forbidden zone(point Pz).

the zone inside the polygon.
It is important to take into account the safety distance (d) defined at page [P11] to set the points of the
rectangle.
The safety distance is automatically applied all around the defined zone perimeter.
The screen drawing indicates the exact zone to which the hook access is prevented. However, the crane
movements are stopped (d)m before.
Pictogram explanation
Place the hook at the first polygon vertex
P1.
Register the point by pressing V.

The point coordinates are shown a few
seconds after registering the point and the
point number will change to P2.
Place the hook at the second polygon
2 vertex P2.
Register the point by pressing V.
Once the above process is finished, the zone definition is done. However, the zone will not be closed
and saved until the zone is saved pressing .
During the drawing of the zones, it is possible to modify any of the previously defined points. It is not possible
to do so after saving the points.
Pictogram explanation
1 To modify the points P1 to P21, first select the desired point in the selection
field.
2 Place the hook at the desired point and register the point by pressing V.
Before beginning to use the Forbidden zones option it is compulsory to check that DLZ341 forbidden zones
system is able to stop each of the crane movements through the proper relay output.

Appendix 3– Reading the event log from a PC using the USB key.
A USB key is supplied with the DLZ341 system. The USB stores the application DLZ341-GAT.xls that works
under MS Excel. This application allows to view and print the information registered by the Data logger. To do
so, it is necessary a personal computer and the program MS Excel.
1 Once the information has been transferred from UCDL46 into the USB key (see 6.3), plug it to PC USB
port.
The following screen appears after opening the USB folder.
Fig. 56
Fig. 57
To open the file, it is necessary that MS Excel is configured at a low safety level, so that it allows to run
Macros. If an error message appears on the screen when trying to oper the excel file, check the safety
level in the menu Tools/Macro/Safety settings, or in the MS Excel equivalent version menu. If the safety
level is too high, decrease it so that it does not interfere with the program.

The page shows a bargraph which indicates the number of registered cycles classified in four ranges depending
on the moment exerted on the crane during the cycle.
Fig. 61
The ranges can be modified in page [P2] by changing the threshold values (see 6.1.2).
The cycles indicated by the bargraphs correspond to the ranges defined at [P2], though the side inscrip-
tions indicate the default ranges.
Fig. 62
These tables register details of the last 10 cycles in the 3rd and 4th ranges.
The information of this table is the same as that in the table «last cycles» of the 1st page of the report
(see 2 of this Appendix).

Page 3 shows the events log registered in the DLZ341 system database.
The event log records the last 2000 events since the last reset, ordered in a FIFO list (The list alway contains
2000 events. A new event is placed in position 1, the rest are moved to the next position, and the one in po-
sition 2000 is deleted)

1. Only duly qualified personnel complying with current Regulations in force and familiar with Safety Rules
relative to his task is authorised to operate the crane.
2. Never work on safety devices in order to override or modify their calibration out of range. (Fig. 1)
4. Never operate the crane before all protections and safety devices are installed and in correct working
order.
5. If changes in crane setup are introduced (jib length, height, etc), make sure that load limiters and limit
switches are readjusted for the new setup. (Fig. 2)
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
As a last alternative to reach areas not accessible by other means the tower crane may be used to raise
and lower personnel to that area, provided the following criteria is met.
The device that will carry the personnel being transported shall be manufactured and approved for that
purpose, and all procedures related to the crane operation and the transportation of personnel shall be
in accordance with all Local, State and Government standards.
Fig. 3 Fig. 4
10. Do not rest the hook on he load or any other surface as lifting cables must never be loose.
11. If during a lifting operation the steel cables become loose, the operation must be interrupted until
the cause of loosening is found and check the proper winding of the cable and that it is not out of
pulleys or guides.
12. The emergency stop should not be used for stopping during normal operations.
In case of repeated emergency stops within a short period of time, the brakes should be checked imme-
diately by qualified personnel, since they may be adversely affected and lose their braking power and
load-retaining capabilities.
13. If the work is interrupted, never leave loads in suspension or the crane running.
15. The operator must have a perfect view of the working area and the load (Fig 8)
16 When lack of view is due to poor light, floodlights covering the full working area shall be used.
17. A signal man must direct the operation if lack of view is due to physical obstacles. (Fig 9)
18 Signals given by the signal man must be based on specific systems (national standards, if any, shall
be used) (Fig 10)
19. When the crane is operated from the cabin, visibility conditions must be maintained by window
cleaning avoiding any view limiting objects.
Keep the wipers in good condition.
Cleaning of cabin windows must be done by using exclusively thos e accessories enabling it with no
need for going outside passages or access platforms to the cabin.
21 The crane operator must be kept informed about the existing wind velocity.
Anemometers give this information and are very useful in windy areas.
22 As a general rule, work must cease if wind velocity makes handling loads difficult with hazard to
persons.
23 Make sure there are no hazards to persons prior to starting the crane (See checks prior to
commissioning)
24 Before work commencement, the operator must be familiar with condition existing at the site such as
main obstacles, traffic areas, interferences, etc.
25 Crane travelling, when required, must not be used in conjunction with any other movement and then,
the jib and counterjib must be placed in the direction of the truck.
27 Make sure that safety signs and warnings are in good condition and in the right place.
28 Keep access and working platforms in good condition and free from tools or objects that can fall down.
Instructions in this section are given for complementary guidance; therefore they do not replace current
safety regulations in force, national and international laws, local regulations or of the insurance compa-
nies.
1 Carry out standard inspections and specific inspections prior to start up and after major crane modifica-
tions.
4 Crane documents (Instructions Manual, certificates, records, etc.) must be kept at the crane in an acces-
sible place.
5 All personnel involved with crane erection, dismantling, operation and maintenance must be conversant
with the instructions given in this Manual. Should the information contained in any paragraph be incom-
plete or confusing, applicable clarification shall be requested before carrying out any action.
6 The crane must be free from permanent deformations, fractures, cracks or other defects affecting its-
safety.
7 Foreign elements not being part of the crane are not allowed provided they have not been authorised by
the manufacturer.
8 Personnel appointed for crane operation (crane operators) must have appropriate qualifications and be
conversant with the instructions and specific features of the crane being operated.
9 Before beginning crane operation, the crane operator must proceed with all the checks mentioned in this
Manual for commissioning stage.
10 When crane work has been finalised, the operator shall follow the instructions for taking the crane out of
service. Thus:
11 The crane operator must know the wind conditions to be able to discontinue crane work if necessary.
For a direct knowledge of the real wind velocity, the provision of an anemometer at the site is advisa-
ble.

1 IMPORTANT NOTES
The crane must be put out of service on any of the following circumstances:
- When there is a malfunction of any movement or movement retaining brakes
- When limit switches at movement limit points would not actuate
- When loads above maximum allowable loads can be lifted.
In case of repeated emergency stops within a short period of time, the brakes should be checked
immediately by competent personnel, since they may be adversely affected and lose their braking power
and load-retaining capabilities.
In periods with temperatures below zero, check that crane mobile parts (brakes, crown wheel, commutator,
etc) are not blocked due to ice formation. Under these circumstances, the first manoeuvres must be done
with precaution
Crane operation must be stopped when wind velocity makes load handling hazardous for persons. See
document “Operation stop due to Wind” y " Anemometer - Wind Speed Indication / alarm" in this chapter
of the manual
If the crane is not in operation, the wind speed indication / alarm system is not operable.
In case of a disconnection of the crane, this should be placed in an out-of-service condition (including
the weather vaning).
When the crane is not supervised, it should be placed in an out-of-service condition. It should be considered
that the radio controls automatically disconnect the crane when it is unused for a certain period.
Crane operator must know the loads being handled and crane loading capacity so that the crane will not
be overloaded
Load and torque limiters must not be used for operation purposes, they being safety elements, which
normally should not be actuated.
All movements must be stopped before reaching their limits. Limit switches are safety elements and
should normally not be activated.

right.
For more details see "Weathervaning" in this chapter.
During the reeving change operation, and once the trolley back and hook up
limits have been exceeded, then depending on trolley and hook position some
movements such as trolley forward or hoisting up or down may be prevented
owing to the reeving change operation having been started but not carried out
properly.
For further details, see the instruction entitled “Reeving Change”,in this chapter..
A thermostat is fitted at the bottom (on the outside) of the control to adjust the level of
heating.

TROLLEY OPERATION.
Trolley movement is achieved through a frequency converter governed by the control
panel joystick.
The control has 4 speed settings stepped from practically zero speed to maximum
allowable speed.
Maximum allowable speed is a function of the trolley position on the jib as well as crane
actual load. See speed vs load diagram.
Maximum speed is automatically reduced when the trolley reaches the proximity of the
limit switch.
The electromechanic brake locks the movement when the motor has fully stopped (fre-
quency converter control).

The hoisting speed (both upwards and downwards) is automatically adjusted at the right
setting as a function of the load and the number of cables.
Switching between operating modes (from normal mode to approach mode or vice versa)
can be done while hoisting without any problems. If the pushbutton is pressed wile working
on normal mode, the hoist motor speed is automatically reduced. The motor speed is
increased when switching from approach to normal mode (button released).
TRAVELLING
There are 2 or 3 speed points depending on the particular travelling mechanism.
Movement acceleration and deceleration are controlled by varying motor supply, resulting
in smooth, progressive motion.
Movement braking is carried out automatically by either changing speeds or shifting the
joy-stick to the zero point.
A pushbutton exists to cancel the delay in actuation of the electromagnetic brake. See
section 3-5 for further details.
An alarm siren at the foot of the crane sounds intermittently while transfer movement is
taking place. It sounds different from the normal crane siren.

4.1 Hoisting
Hoisting movement is achieved through a frequency converter governed by the control panel joystick.
The control has 4 speed settings stepped from practically zero speed to maximum allowable speed as a function
of hook position as well as crane actual load. (See speed vs load diagram).
Maximum hoisting speed is automatically reduced when the hook reaches the proximity of the limit switch.
The electromechanic brake locks the movement when the motor has fully stopped (frequency converter con-
trolled as converter frequency translates into motor speed).

When the lever is released the hoisting movement stops and the electromechanical brake goes in.
The hoisting speed (both upwards and downwards) is automatically adjusted at the right setting as a function
of the load and the number of cables.
4.2 Travelling
Travelling movement has 3 speed settings.
The acceleration and deceleration are achieved by changing the motor power supply, leading to a progressive
movement.
Movement braking is automatically carried out by speed changing or bringing the joystick to zero setting.
An alarm siren at the foot of the crane sounds intermittently while transfer movement is taking place. It sounds
different from the normal crane siren.
A pulser exists that annuls the retardation in the fall of the electromechanical brake. Its use to consult section
5.
Pressing the pushbutton means switching on the main contactor and the light goes on.
When the crane is power supplied through the main contactor, the hoist and trolley frequency converters go
into a self-test checking for errors. This takes a few seconds.
Hoisting and trolley movements are not possible during this time.
7 STOP PUSHBUTTON
0
The normal use of the stop pushbutton is disconnecting the power supply to the crane when no work
is being done, or as a previous measure to switching off the main contactor prior to leaving the work
place at the end of the shift.
Also, it may be used as an emergency stop when crane work so requires.
Under normal working, once the joy-stick reaches the zero point then jib movement is gradually stopped by the
motor. The electromechanical brake is a parking brake which is actuated afterwards.
However, on certain occasions when the wind is strong, the jib has to be held once movement has stopped,
at which time this button is used.
During the reeving change operation, and once the trolley back and hook up limits have been
exceeded, then depending on trolley and hook position some movements such as trolley forward or
hoisting up or down may be prevented owing to the reeving change operation having been started but
not carried out properly.
When pressing this pushbutton with the crane working, the crane is set to free slewing (slewing brake unlocked)
and the horn sounds. For deactivating the free slewing mode press either left slewing or right slewing.
See "Weathervaning" in this chapter.
It serves the purpose of switching off the crane travelling movement, this way preventing an accidental
travelling movement start.

1 IMPORTANT NOTES
INDICATORS SHALL NEVER replace a scale and should never be used as a substitute
for the crane load and moment limiters.
Data displayed are simply indications and cannot replace the personal supervision
of the operator and his own impresion of the size of the load being handled.
any change on the crane configuration may result in a bad operation of the indi-
cation, data logging or forbidden zones system. after any crane configuration
change, it is necessary to readjust the system and check that the unit is fully
operative and properlyworking.
the forbidden zones system alone should not be used to avoid to drive the
crane above pipe installations that might contain flammable liquids or gases.
the forbidden zones system shall not be used to avoid to drive the crane above
electric cables. on such situations, it is necessary to make a safety assessment
and take additional measures (i.e. mounting the crane so that there is no possi-
bility of interference with the cable) that lead to a proper risk reduction.
Before beginning to use the system, it is compulsory to properly train the operator. Furthermore, the
maintainer of the crane or whoever performs any adjustment or change on it, must carefully read
this manual until he understands the working principle and the procedures for its adjustment.
The indication screens on this document may suffer some change as a result of any improvement of the
system software.
DLZ341 may optionally include the following special functions (on demand):
- Extended indication (the system can be supplied with additional information like slewing position
or travelling position).
- Forbidden zones system (prevents the hook from entering the areas defined by the user. If the
system is equipped with forbidden zones, it must include the slewing sensor and the travelling
sensor, if needed, to properly perform the forbidden zone function).
Screen messages use pictograms recommended by FEM1003 standard which list the symbols to be
used on tower crane indications, so that an effective and error-free communication is achieved.
The indication function offers an instantaneous and intuitive sight that shows the load state of the crane and
the crane position. The data are represented in numerical format and also as a progress bar, allowing a faster
and easier understanding.
Further information on the indication function may be found in point 4 of this document.
The data logger function supplies information referred to the crane operation (number of working hours of each
winch, number of overloads, information on the last movements, alarms…).
Further information on the data logger function may be found in point 5 of this document.
The forbidden zones function allows the user to define a number of zones where the hook will be prevented
from entering. Once the system is properly adjusted, the crane stores the zones information in memory and
operates in an intelligent way, automatically preventing the hook from entering into the forbidden areas.
Further information on the forbidden zones function may be found in point 6 of this document.

When UCDL46 internal temperature goes below -10ºC or above +60ºC, the screen is switched off and
the power supply green LED blinks. The functions of the system keep working but the screen is automa-
tically switched off to avoid damages.
The UCDL46 unit is mounted inside the cabin on a fixing bracket that permits several rotations and movements.
It allows the crane operator to set an optimal position from an ergonomic point of view.
To adjust the display position and orientation, loose both swivels, set the unit to the desired position and tighten

If you wish to leave a crane with a single trolley (removing the possibility of the 2nd trolley "four-fall"), in addition
to removing the trolley and modifying the cable fall (see ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY) you must:
a) Physically remove the trolley position limiters (LPCT and LPCD) installed in the jib.
b) Electrically disconnect these limiters (removing plugs in the electric cabinet or disconnecting the
terminals in the junction box, depending on the case).
c) Place jumpers in the cat head control panel

6 CHECKING OPERATION
1 DESCRIPTION
The crane is prepared for weather vaning by releasing the brake on the slewing motor(s), leaving the upper
crane free to move with the wind. The brakes are released remotely via the release units on the brake cover
of each slewing motor.
A control box in the operator’s cabin (or at the base of the crane when there is no cabin) governs the release
units.
In case of a power cut-off or malfunction in the release system, weather vaning can be done manually.
2 OPERATION
Weathervaning sequence (Fig. 1)
1 Opening the motor brake causes the manual lever (1) to move upwards
2 The electromagnet (5) attracts the moving armature (2) and positions it below the manual lever
(1).
3 When the brake drops the manual lever (1) rests against the moving armature (2), preventing the
brake from closing and weathervaning the crane.
Activating weathervaning
1 The crane must be in operation.
2 Press the weathervaning button on
the crane control panel and wait 5-10
seconds. If the crane siren is still
blowing after that time, the crane is
weathervaned.
3 Press Stop to cut the siren.
4 Press Start. The siren should continue
to blow when the Start button is
released.
5 Press stop to cut the siren.
Deactivating weathervaning.
1 Engage the slewing control with the

3 MANUAL OPERATION
If there is a malfunction or power cut-off the slewing motor brakes can be
released manually.
1- Lift the lever, overcoming the resistance of the brake springs, and
keep it lifted.
2- Press and hold down the button.
3- Release the lever.
4- Release the button.
This procedure should be repeated with each release unit.

5 ADJUSTMENT
To regulate the unblocking weather vanning, proceed as follows:
1- Manually lift the unblocking lever (1).
2- Push the button (3) until the mobile armature (2) comes inside
under the lever (1).
3- Unscrew the nut (4) in such a way that the distance "a" between
armature (2) and lowr part of the lever (1) when this is lifted at
its highest be approximatively 0.5 mm.
4- Check electrical operation: the armature (2) should enter freely
when the weathervaning button is pressed on the crane controls,
and should release when slewing movement is commanded. If
it does not, slacken the self-locking nut (4) 1/12 of a turn (half a
facet) and try again.
importante: The brake gap should not be less than 1 mm if weathervaning is to be regulated
correctly.
6 CHECKING OPERATION
Weathervaning must be used in windy conditions: if the jib points in the direction of the wind then the weathervaning
system is working correctly.
To check weathervaning when it not windy, proceed as follows:
1- Ensure that the crane can turn freely with no obstacles in its path.
2- With the trolley back and the hook raised and under no load, engage first gear and slew slowly.
3- Still in first gear, press the weathervaning button (the crane siren will sound).
4- Still slewing in first gear and with the weathervaning button engaged, press the stop control and check
that the jib continues to turn freely under its own inertia.
5- If it does not do so, readjust the brake gap (which should be 1 mm) and adjust the weathervaning
system..

5 HEATING SYSTEM FOR THE WIND-SPEED SENSOR
1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The basic configuration has a wind-speed sensor (1), which is connected to the control and signalling unit
(2).
The system operates as follows:
- The control and signalling unit is electrically powered from the crane electric cabinet.
- The orange luminous beacon is activated when the wind-speed exceeds 50 km/h.
- The red luminous beacon and warning siren are activated when the wind-speed exceeds 70
km/h..

2 OPERATION CHECK
2.1 Indication and control unit
- Check the operation of the beacons and siren as follows:
- Check the crane is powered.
- The switches at the bottom of the crane and the general switch on the electrical cabinet are
in the ON position.
- Press the stop button in the crane control and then press the start button (radiocontrol,
telecontrol or seat).
- This procedure allows to detect a problem in:
- Orange or red beacons.
- Siren.
- Unit power supply.
The device checks the proper operation of the red and orange beacons and of the siren by switching the
beacons and the siren (each beacon should blink twice and the siren must horn once).
- If one or several elements do not operate, this is because there is a problem in the electric supply
or in the elements themselves.
During this test, physically cover the siren to prevent being deafened by the noise this produces.
- Double check that the control and signal code units are properly fixed by the magnets and check
that the unit is appropriately secured to the crane structure with the fastening line (7) which is
supplied.
- Check that the unit is visible from the crane operator’s control position.
Necessary material:
- Cabin wind velocity display.
Instructions:
A. Connect the cabin wind velocity displayto the control unit (See Point 4).
B. Move the wind velocity detector cups either through the action of the wind or by turning them by
hand.
C. Check that there is a velocity reading on the cabin wind velocity display.
Necessary materials:
- Cabin wind velocity display.
- One complete portable anemometer with built-in display.
Instructions:
A. Connect the cabin wind velocity display to the control unit (See Point 4).
B. Install the portable anemometer pickup near the crane pickup and under the same wind reception
conditions.
C. Compare the wind velocity readings on the two displays (the check will be much more effective if
the auxiliary anemometer is calibrated).
Fig. 2
The device can be configured in different ways, by changing a set of 4 mini-switches 4 placed inside it. The
different functions that can be activated or deactivated are: autotest function, configuration in which the device
must be reinitialized after the 70km/h alarm is activated, cancel the acoustic warning when working close to
low noise areas like hospitals, residentials...
To access to the connections or configuration, loose the screws that fix the small bottom cover.
ON (1) Autotest ON
DIP1
OFF Autotest OFF.
After the wind-speed goes above 70 km/h , the ALARM remains activated , even if the
ON speed goes to 0 km/h (The alarm will be deactivated only after the unit supply is switched
DIP3 off for more thatn 15 seconds).
OFF (1) The ALARM is deactivated immediately after the speed goes below 70 km/h.
The DIP4 configuration is exclusively to be changed by an authorised person. Its proper position is ON.
Otherwise, the device indicates a "SENSOR FAILURE"
Before changing the position of the switches, ensure that it complies with the required standard for the
installation and that the new alarm method (sound and visual) is understood by the crane operators.
3.3 Alarms.
The device includes the following alarm modes:
- At 50 km/h only amber light, and at 70 km/h only red light.
- At 50 km/h only amber light, and at 70 km/h red light + siren.
The default factory setting is "at 50 km/h only amber light, and at 70 km/h red light + siren".
Fig. 3
In case there is any abnormal behaviour signal at the sensor, a cable that has been cut or an improper connection,
the system beacons intermittently blink until the problem is solved.
4 RS 485 WIND-SPEED OUTPUT
The control and signalling unit (Fig. 4) is equipped with an RS 485 output that allows a fast connection to the
indicator system in the cabin. Refer to the crane wiring schematic for more details.
Fig. 4
This heater system is supplied from a point which is placed before the general crane contactor G (see wiring
schematic) . If the general switch of the crane (IG) is ON and the crane bottom switch is ON, the heating system
will be operative, regardless the stop control is pressed or not. This allows the system to melt the frost even
when the crane controls are switched off.
To carry out this operation, swing the clamps by loosening the mounting.
Once the clamps have been positioned embracing the rail, they should be mounted with the fittings.
Crane's operations should be interrupted whenever the wind velocity endangers the
handling o the load for the operating staff.
According to the calculation standard (DIN 15019-1), the crane has to be taken out of service when the wind
velocity Vo corresponding to the dynamic pressure limit qo, determined from a 10 seconds average, is excee-
ded.

registered within 10 seconds.
NOTE: Cranes working in areas where wind velocity is likely to be above design limit must be provided
with anemometers.
See "ANEMOMETER - WIND SPEED INDICATION / ALARM" instruction in this manual.
Work with the crane must stop when the wind speed makes manipulating loads hazardous for people.
In cranes that are going to work in areas where winds can reach service limits, the user must install an
anemometer. (ITC "MIE-AEM-2" 2003).
See instruction "ANEMOMETER" in this manual.
The maximum surface permitted for a load exposed to wind is obtained by the formula:
0,03 x P A = Surface exposed to wind (m2).
A= P = Weight of the load (kg).
q x 1,2 q = Pressure coefficient = v2/16 (kg/m2).
v = Wind speed (m/s).

1 GENERAL
The purpose of the instructions below is to describe the operations required to keep the crane in safe condition.
It serves as a guidance for detecting defects, taking necessary action to overcome the situation.
Apart from these inspections, National or Local Regulations must also be complied with.
2 DAILY INSPECTIONS
Visual inspection without part removal and checking the operation of the various mechanisms.
These must be done by personnel involved with the crane, e.g. the crane operator.
The inspection is carried out prior to starting crane work and must include:
- Observation of apparent defects in crane supports, cables, structure, etc.
- Operation of drives, movements and brakes, with no load.
- Operation of limiters and indicators
3 MONTHLY AND SEMIANNUAL INSPECTIONS
Based on visual inspection, generally without part removal and checking the operation of the various mecha-
nisms
4 YEARLY INSPECTIONS
This inspection must be carried out every time the crane is erected or every year if the crane is still
operating at the site.
Yearly inspections are based on visual inspection, generally without part removal.
Prior to every erection some inspections can more easily be done with the parts on ground level and other
inspections with the crane erected.
Inspection includes:
- Monthly and semi-annual inspections
- Checking for presence of nameplates
- Checking for presence of instructions manual
- Checking reports of previous inspections
- Checking that installed components coincide with components stated in documents
- Checking equipment condition for damage prevention
- Check for leaks of oil or grease
- Check for any damage in couplings
- Check for abnormal noise during operation
- Check for abnormal equipment temperature in operation
- Check that connecting bolts are tightened and free from cracks and defects.
- Check that brakes are not worn out or damaged
- Check that the machine is in overall good condition, clean, without critical corrosion, etc.
- Check that the electrical installation is free from damage.
- Check that cables are free from wear or critical deformations.
- Check that hooks are free from deformations or cracks.
- Checking drive operation
- Load limiters
- Indicator operation
- Brake operation
- Overall inspection of the structure, welds condition, corrosion, deformations, etc.
- Inspection of crane support (foundations, track), check for any settlement
5 SPECIAL INSPECTIONS
The inspector must be provided with the previous inspection report and must be informed on the type of crane
work.
Special inspections may require part removal and non-destructive tests if deemed necessary as a function
of:
- Result of previous inspections
- Result of load and braking tests, etc.
- Result of visual inspections

2 PERSONNEL DUTIES
3 PRINCIPLES FOR ESTABLISHING A SIGNAL CHART
4 SIGNAL DEFINITION
Prior to performing any operation check that the load being moved is perfectly fastened and ready for
movement.
Make sure that neither persons nor materials that could be damaged are present in the load area.
Do not allow persons along the load path while operations are being carried out.
1 GENERAL
THIS INSTRUCTION IS BASED ON STANDARD UNE 58000 (JUNE 2003)
2 PERSONNEL DUTIES
2.2 SIGNALMAN
This person reports to the operations superintendent
He takes over as chief of the crane operator since the “take control” signal is made until the “Quit
control” signal is made.
The signalman is fully responsible for directing the crane operator since the load starts moving,
through load transfer, until the load arrives to its final position as well as securing the slings around
the load from the start to the end of the operation.
Communication with the crane operator will be through hand signals with the arm(s) and signals must
not be repeated except for slow approach movements or if the crane operator so demands.
The signalman must always be in the crane operator field of view, see the load at all times, remain
outside the load path and keep personnel out of the load path.
In case he cannot see both the crane operator and the load, the operations superintendent shall appoint
an assistant.
Signalman and crane operator must know each other and maintain their functions during the job, and
due to the relevance of this function, training courses and physical examinations are required (Standard
UNE58158)
New instructions must be requested for restarting (two short acoustic or light signals)
- “Take control” and “Quit control” signals determine the moment from which the crane operator
effectively depends on the signalman.
- Signals must be made:
- Using ample and vigorous movements perfectly differentiated.
- Using ample hand and finger movements recognised under any condition (lighting, distance)
- In two well differentiated planes
a) In a vertical plane, to the right or to the left of the signalman body
b) In a horizontal plane, above or below
To command a movement or a stop, the signalman must always move the arm or forearm with no repetition
nor keeping on the movement (once the “understood” signal has been received) except for approach or
joined movements.
4 SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
0 CONTENTS
Sling breakage almost always causes serious accidents, injuring personnel and damaging goods. Good
quality slings must therefore be used, constructed with the utmost care.
Accidents involving sling breakage are often caused not by technical faults but by human error.
The site foreman and the hooker on must therefore know how to choose slings suited to each manoeuvre and
how to use them according to safety rules.
Fig. 1
2 CHOOSING A SLING
Slings must be chosen on the basis of the following points:
- wood 0.8,
- stone & concrete 2.5,
- steel, iron and cast iron 8.
- The angle formed by the strands of a sling reduces its strength. For the sake of illustration we provide
coefficients below by which sling strength must be divided according to the angle between the strands
when the sling is in working position (Fig. 3 and 4).
Observations:
When a load is supported by a 4 strand sling the angle must be measured as indicated in figure 4, and
the sling strength calculated on the basis of total weights being supported by
- 2 strands if the load is rigid,
- and 3 strands if it is flexible.
For a 2 strand sling with a given strength (Pm), capacity decreases as the angle between the ends
increases (Fig.4).
3 USING SLINGS
When working with slings you need to know:
There are many reasons. Apart from wear, knots, welds in cables and the devices used in connections
must be taken into account.
- Knots reduce sling strength by 30-50%.
- Welds in final rings or eyelets, even if technically very well done, reduce strength by between 15 and
20%.
- Connections made with cable holders, even when they are used properly and in sufficient numbers,
reduce sling strength by around 20%.
Fig. 5 Fig. 6
4 CONNECTIONS
Hooks, rings and eyes are used to connect hoisting equipment to loads.
- Eyes
These are made of forged steel, and comprise U-bolt and a fitted shaft, which is usually screwed onto
one arm of the U-bolt (Fig. 7).
- Rings
These come in various shapes, though they are usually circular in cross section. As with eyes the load
they can support depends on their cross section, on their shape and on the steel from which they are
made (fig. 9). It is essential to check that they retain their shape over time.
Fig. 7 Fig. 8
5 HOOKS
Their shape enables loads to be attached rapidly.
- Description
There are many types of hook. The most widely used are beaked hooks (Fig.8),
which are connected by a hole or rod.
Fig. 9
- Hook construction
Unlike rings and eyes, hooks work by flexion, and are therefore designed and built to very severe stan-
dards.
You should therefore never attempt to build your own hoisting hooks.
- Using hooks
Never try to widen the shape of a hook so that it will take a larger cable. Likewise, never heat hooks
for any reason, as heating will change the properties of the steel.
In some cases mere swinging of the load may produce such forces.
Fig. 10
Fig. 11 Fig. 12
Semi-gantries are used for normal loads, and they prevent or reduce any bending stresses in loads at the level
of the points where they are supported.
Never exceed the loading capacity of these gantries, which should be indicated on them.
Fig. 13 Fig. 14
- Choose attachment points on the load to be hoisted which do not allow the sling to slip. Ensure that these
points are properly arranged around the centre of gravity of the load.
The load must be stably balanced, and a gantry should be used if necessary to balance the forces in the
slings, whose strands should form the smallest possible angles.
- Cables and ropes should not have rings or welds except at their ends.
- The ends of cables and ropes must be secured with ties to prevent fraying.
- Lifting equipment must be protected against fire. heat, corrosives (acids, solvents, cements, etc), moisture
and light in the case of synthetic fibre ropes.

SOCKET BODY
WEDGE
Fig. 1
It is essential that the appropriate terminal is used, and that it is checked that the wedge and socket body are
those indicated for the cable. A large wedge or one with an incorrect angle will not enter the socket body suffi-
ciently to provide a secure fastening; a small wedge will enter too far causing an excess load over the socket
body of the terminal, damaging it.
The cables should be placed such that the active leg is over the straight part of the terminal.
The inactive leg should have the necessary length to allow a safety system to be attached.
Fig. 3
Distance X between the cable-fastening clamp and the terminal should be less than 75% of the length of the
wedge.
When it is necessary to re-install the terminal, should be located over a part of the cable which has not been
previously used for the same purpose.
After each assembly, check that the wedge and cable are correctly seated in the socket body of the terminal,
to prevent cable slip and stop the wedge from slipping out of the socket body of the terminal.
Antirotation cables tend to become deformed on being bent over the wedge; to prevent this, it is recommended
that the cable be lined, for example, with adhesive tape, during the mounting of the terminal. The lining should
be removed to the extent possible to permit inspection of the cable.
If any defect is found in the terminal as well as in the cable, replace it.
The cable-fastening clamps are formed of a fork threaded at its ends, a connector and two nuts.
Castings can be distinguished from forgings by the way in which they are manufactured.

- The connector is located over the active leg of the cable, at a distance from the end of the inactive l
eg equal to the width of the connector.
- The nuts are tightened uniformly and alternately up to the tightening torque.
- The second clamp is placed against the thimble and the nuts are tightened without locking them.

This chapter contains information on crane periodical checks and calibrations after commissioning.
Qualified personnel must carry out these operations after reading and understanding the instructions
given in this manual.
National regulations call for controls and inspections that must be duly documented, but these controls
do not exempt the user from regular crane maintenance.
For all maintenance works the following points must be taken into account:
2 Always use a safety harness when working at heights over 2m and, as a general rule, use personal
protection equipment adequate for the job.
3 Take special precautions when working on crane moving parts. Use adequate garments without loose
ohanging parts that can be caught by moving parts (avoid clocks, rings, chains, etc.).
6 Make sure there is no voltage present prior to working with electrical components.
- Never work alone.
7 Make sure no relevant changes have taken place after the last inspection.
8 Immediately report to the responsible person any detected malfunction. Stop crane operation and take
necessary measures.
9 During draining operations, oil and other fluids must be collected into a suitable container.
10 Oil and grease must only be stored in places meant for lubricating materials. Remove any oil or grease
residues to avoid skidding.

initial maintenance
If the motor is to be dismounted a container must be placed under the motor/ gearbox join to catch the
oil that may flow out due to the design of the components of the mechanism.
Reduction gear boxes should be refilled whenever the oil level goes below the “normal” level of the level
indicator. This minimum level guarantees a correct lubrication of gears and bearings as long as a lubricant with
an adequated quality is used.
The level marked as “normal” should not be exceeded when refilling the red. gear box.
Bearings should not be lubricated separately, since they are lubricated by the sprinkling of oil coming from the
gears.
Oil changes
The oil will be changed according to the changes specified before, or depending on the conditions of the lubricant
(inadequated viscosity, oil oxidation, contamination with silica, etc.). In this case, a very careful cleaning with
petroleum of all the gears should be made. The purpose of this is to eliminate all metallic particles which might
cause a faster erosion, pitting and scratching of the teeth surface. Besides, these particles work as a catalisator
in the oxidation of the oil.
Make sure that the selected oil is compatible with actual oil in mechanism, otherwise, proceed with a
deep cleaning before oil replacement.
If the lubricant used differs from the ones shown in the table, seek confirmation from the lubricant
manufacturer or supplier that the lubricant selected is appropriate for the application and complies at
least with the quality requirements shown in the table.
Special greases or lubricants will be required in case the crane will be used at a very low temperatures
(<-20ºC ).

The brake types are described according to the motor model or type installed at the crane in
the "TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS" section, in the Chapter entitled "MECHANISM SPECI-
FICATIONS".
The following pages contain, maintenance instructions for each brake model.
- When the crane is installed for the first time or when the motors
or brakes are new, the brakes should be checked after approximately

IMPORTANT NOTE
Certain operations described below involve leaving the motor without the locking brake, changing the
electromagnet or brake disc, for example. In these cases, the mechanism must be appropriately immobilised
to make sure the motor cannot slip before proceeding. In any case, these operations should always be
carried out with no load on the hook.
1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The brake is of electromagnetic type using a brake disc with two braking surfaces. Spring pressure ensures
braking torque through friction. The brake is opened by supplying direct current to the brake coil.
During braking the rotor (2.0), which moves axially on the pinion (3.0), is pressed against the friction surface
by the moving electromagnet (1.2) by means of springs (1.4).
When the brake is applied there is an air gap SLü between the coil body (1.1) and the moving electromagnet
(1.2). When the brake is opened, direct current is supplied to the coil (1.1); the magnetic force generated attracts
the moving electromagnet (1.2) towards the coil body (1.1), overcoming the force of the springs. The braking
disc is freed and the motor rotor may turn freely.
2 CONTINUOUS SERVICING
Wear on the braking surface of the brake disc depends on operating conditions. There is a gradual reduction
in friction until brake adjustment becomes necessary.
It is recommended to check the air gap SLü a week after putting into service, and thereafter every three months.
Checking the brake lining thickness and brake operation is also recommended every three months.
1. Measure the air gap SLü between the moving electromagnet and the coil body using feeler gau-
ges.
2. Compare the measurement taken with the maximum permitted, depending on brake size (see
table).
3. If necessary, adjust the air gap to the recommended value.
Note the stops when turning the nut. Positions between stops are not permitted.
This regulation of the torque by means of adjustment nut is only possible in elevation the connected
motor brakes.

An electro-magnetic brake is used to brake the movement of the electric motor. It is normally activated elec-
trically (open brake) when the manipulator controlling the movement to which the motor belongs is moved out
of the neutral position by the crane operator.
It is deactivated electrically (close brake) when the manipulator is returned to the neutral position. However on
some occasions brake action may be delayed for smoother braking.
When the fixed electro-magnet (9) is powered it opens the armature (2) which compresses the spring (6) and
frees the disc (11). The brake is then open.
When power is disconnected the armature (2) is free, and under pressure from the spring (6) it presses the
crown wheel (10) onto the disc (11).
The crown wheel (10) is prevented from spinning by the brake endshield (12).
2 CONTINUOUS SERVICE
Every 3 months: check that the brake works properly. If opening speed is too slow, adjust the gap.
3 GAP ADJUSTMENT
The gap must be adjusted as soon as release is observed not to
take place properly (brake opening too slowly or not at all). Unscrew
the positioning screw (8) and take it out of the holes in the armature
(2). Using a screwdriver on the slotted exterior, fully unscrew the
armature so that it rests on the electro-magnet (9). Screw up the
armature (2) again, resting on the screw (7) in the third hole.
4 BRAKING TORQUE
Braking torque is factory set and cannot be adjusted on site.
5 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY
5.1 Disassembly
Cut the power. Open the terminal box and identify the cables and their positions (motor and brake power, pro-
bes, etc.). Then disconnect the power cables.
Dismount the brake motor using suitable tools (extractors, plastic body maces, calibrated screwdrivers & wren-
ches, grips for circlips, etc.)
Remove the lock nut (5) and unscrew the nut (4).
Unscrew the three fixing screws on the electro-magnet and remove the magnet carefully so as not to damage
the power cables.
Remove the armature (2) and lined crown wheel (11) assembly, and unscrew the armature from the crown
wheel.
Clean the components.
Use only an air jet for electrical components (no solvents or wet products),
white spirit or a similar cleaner for mechanical parts,
and a scraper for connections.
If necessary degrease the brake disc(s) and lining(s).
Change the seals and check the condition of the bearings. Disconnect the rectifier bridge and check the stator
insulation (> 100 megohms).
Identify any faulty item so that a replacement can be ordered.
5.2 Assembly
Open bearings must be re-greased before assembly with grease suitable for their working conditions. Shafts
and bearing boxes should be lightly lubricated. The lips of seals should be lined with grease and re-fitted with
care (using the key slot protection bushes). Connections which must be leak-tight must be coated with a fine
layer of sealing paste.
Screw the armature (2) onto the lined crown wheel (11) with the flat side outwards. Remove the electro-magnet
positioning screw (8), and position the crown/armature assembly and the spring stop in the electro-magnet.
Fit the spring (6) and the nut (7) on the release bar, and screw the nut onto the electro-magnet a few turns.
Assemble on the brake endshield (12) and attach via the three screws and washers, tightening them alternately
until they are locked.
Adjust the gap and the braking torque (see sections 3 & 4).
Screw up the lock nut (5).
Re-connect the rectifier bridge and the probes if necessary, then the motor, ensuring that the cables are correctly
placed. Close the terminal box.
Check that the whole unit works properly and ensure, if necessary, that the release lever is properly fitted before
mounting the unit on the machine.
6 MANUAL RELEASE
To release the brake manually, turn the lock nut (5) clockwise. This operation should only be carried out when
really necessary, and should be left to competent personnel familiar with the effects of releasing or braking the
motor.
Unscrew the lock nut (5) again before returning to normal operation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Some of the operations described below, for instance, replacing the magnet, will require to leave the
motor with the locking brake inoperative. In this case, make sure that the motor will not rotate, for
instance, preventing the hook to fall freely or the trolley to move. If this is not possible, suitably lock any
possible movement before proceeding to carry out the required maintenance operation. In any case,
these maintenance operations shall be performed with no load suspended from the hook.
On cranes that can be weathervaned remotely from the control panel, this system loses its adjustment
when the realese device is dismounted so the brake can be accessed. It must therefore be readjusted
when the device is re-mounted, as per points 3 and 4 of these instructions.

6 CHECKING OPERATION
1 DESCRIPTION
The crane is prepared for weather vaning by releasing the brake on the slewing motor(s), leaving the upper
crane free to move with the wind. The brakes are released remotely via the release units on the brake cover
of each slewing motor.
A control box in the operator’s cabin (or at the base of the crane when there is no cabin) governs the release
units.
In case of a power cut-off or malfunction in the release system, weather vaning can be done manually.
2 OPERATION
Weathervaning sequence (Fig. 1)
1 Opening the motor brake causes the manual lever (1) to move upwards
2 The electromagnet (5) attracts the moving armature (2) and positions it below the manual lever
(1).
3 When the brake drops the manual lever (1) rests against the moving armature (2), preventing the
brake from closing and weathervaning the crane.
Activating weathervaning
1 The crane must be in operation.
2 Press the weathervaning button on
the crane control panel and wait 5-10
seconds. If the crane siren is still
blowing after that time, the crane is
weathervaned.
3 Press Stop to cut the siren.
4 Press Start. The siren should continue
to blow when the Start button is
released.
5 Press stop to cut the siren.

3 MANUAL OPERATION
If there is a malfunction or power cut-off the slewing motor brakes can be
released manually.
1- Lift the lever, overcoming the resistance of the brake springs, and
keep it lifted.
2- Press and hold down the button.
3- Release the lever.
4- Release the button.

5 ADJUSTMENT
To regulate the unblocking weather vanning, proceed as follows:
1- Manually lift the unblocking lever (1).
2- Push the button (3) until the mobile armature (2) comes inside
under the lever (1).
3- Unscrew the nut (4) in such a way that the distance "a" between
armature (2) and lowr part of the lever (1) when this is lifted at
its highest be approximatively 0.5 mm.
4- Check electrical operation: the armature (2) should enter freely
when the weathervaning button is pressed on the crane controls,
and should release when slewing movement is commanded. If
it does not, slacken the self-locking nut (4) 1/12 of a turn (half a
facet) and try again.
importante: The brake gap should not be less than 1 mm if weathervaning is to be regulated
correctly.
6 CHECKING OPERATION
Weathervaning must be used in windy conditions: if the jib points in the direction of the wind then the weathervaning
system is working correctly.
To check weathervaning when it not windy, proceed as follows:
1- Ensure that the crane can turn freely with no obstacles in its path.
2- With the trolley back and the hook raised and under no load, engage first gear and slew slowly.
3- Still in first gear, press the weathervaning button (the crane siren will sound).
4- Still slewing in first gear and with the weathervaning button engaged, press the stop control and check
that the jib continues to turn freely under its own inertia.
5- If it does not do so, readjust the brake gap (which should be 1 mm) and adjust the weathervaning
system..

1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The basic configuration has a wind-speed sensor (1), which is connected to the control and signalling unit
(2).
The system operates as follows:
- The control and signalling unit is electrically powered from the crane electric cabinet.
- The orange luminous beacon is activated when the wind-speed exceeds 50 km/h.
- The red luminous beacon and warning siren are activated when the wind-speed exceeds 70
km/h..

2 OPERATION CHECK
2.1 Indication and control unit
- Check the operation of the beacons and siren as follows:
- Check the crane is powered.
- The switches at the bottom of the crane and the general switch on the electrical cabinet are
in the ON position.
- Press the stop button in the crane control and then press the start button (radiocontrol,
telecontrol or seat).
- This procedure allows to detect a problem in:
- Orange or red beacons.
- Siren.
- Unit power supply.
The device checks the proper operation of the red and orange beacons and of the siren by switching the
beacons and the siren (each beacon should blink twice and the siren must horn once).
- If one or several elements do not operate, this is because there is a problem in the electric supply
or in the elements themselves.
During this test, physically cover the siren to prevent being deafened by the noise this produces.
- Double check that the control and signal code units are properly fixed by the magnets and check
that the unit is appropriately secured to the crane structure with the fastening line (7) which is
supplied.
- Check that the unit is visible from the crane operator’s control position.
Necessary material:
- Cabin wind velocity display.
Instructions:
A. Connect the cabin wind velocity displayto the control unit (See Point 4).
B. Move the wind velocity detector cups either through the action of the wind or by turning them by
hand.
C. Check that there is a velocity reading on the cabin wind velocity display.
Necessary materials:
- Cabin wind velocity display.
- One complete portable anemometer with built-in display.
Instructions:
A. Connect the cabin wind velocity display to the control unit (See Point 4).
B. Install the portable anemometer pickup near the crane pickup and under the same wind reception
conditions.
C. Compare the wind velocity readings on the two displays (the check will be much more effective if
the auxiliary anemometer is calibrated).
Fig. 2
The device can be configured in different ways, by changing a set of 4 mini-switches 4 placed inside it. The
different functions that can be activated or deactivated are: autotest function, configuration in which the device
must be reinitialized after the 70km/h alarm is activated, cancel the acoustic warning when working close to
low noise areas like hospitals, residentials...
To access to the connections or configuration, loose the screws that fix the small bottom cover.
ON (1) Autotest ON
DIP1
OFF Autotest OFF.
After the wind-speed goes above 70 km/h , the ALARM remains activated , even if the
ON speed goes to 0 km/h (The alarm will be deactivated only after the unit supply is switched
DIP3 off for more thatn 15 seconds).
OFF (1) The ALARM is deactivated immediately after the speed goes below 70 km/h.
The DIP4 configuration is exclusively to be changed by an authorised person. Its proper position is ON.
Otherwise, the device indicates a "SENSOR FAILURE"
Before changing the position of the switches, ensure that it complies with the required standard for the
installation and that the new alarm method (sound and visual) is understood by the crane operators.
3.3 Alarms.
The device includes the following alarm modes:
- At 50 km/h only amber light, and at 70 km/h only red light.
- At 50 km/h only amber light, and at 70 km/h red light + siren.
The default factory setting is "at 50 km/h only amber light, and at 70 km/h red light + siren".
Fig. 3
In case there is any abnormal behaviour signal at the sensor, a cable that has been cut or an improper connection,
the system beacons intermittently blink until the problem is solved.
4 RS 485 WIND-SPEED OUTPUT
The control and signalling unit (Fig. 4) is equipped with an RS 485 output that allows a fast connection to the
indicator system in the cabin. Refer to the crane wiring schematic for more details.
Fig. 4
This heater system is supplied from a point which is placed before the general crane contactor G (see wiring
schematic) . If the general switch of the crane (IG) is ON and the crane bottom switch is ON, the heating system
will be operative, regardless the stop control is pressed or not. This allows the system to melt the frost even
when the crane controls are switched off.
IT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE OIL IN AN OIL-HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, AS IT NOT
ONLY TRANSMITS POWER BUT ALSO LUBRICATES MOVING PARTS

1 OIL CLEANING
Oil can deteriorate due to the combined action of high running temperatures, air, water and contaminant particles.
This can cause the system to run poorly, and may lead to pump cavitation, jerky movements, increased wear,
valve failures, etc.
Before assembly, always check the condition of the oil and change it if necessary.
2 FILTER CLEANING
To prevent oil from becoming contaminated hydraulic groups have return and air filters, which must be cleaned
or replaced as necessary.
The intake filter (item 4 on the hydraulic layout) must always be cleaned before oil is changed and when the
noise characteristic of pump cavitation is detected. Clean it as follows:
a) Remove the screws from the cover of the mini-hydraulic group and thoroughly clean the cover,
edges and screws with before fully unscrewing them with compressed air.
b) Remove the cover, unscrew the filters and remove them from the tank.
c) Submerge the filters in petroleum, trichloroethylene or a similar solvent. Clean the inside with
compressed air. Remove all traces of solvent before re-fitting.
d) Screw them back into their housings.
e) Fit the clean cover, changing the seals if necessary, and screw it down.
How often air filters (item 2 on the hydraulic layout) need to be checked will depend on the surrounding
environment.
3 OIL CHANGES
Before assembly always top up the oil in the tank to the maximum level, using oil of the same characteristics
as that used by the manufacturer.
Recommended oil types are listed in the lubrication instructions.
Change oil every 2500 hours or more often if it is seen to be deteriorated or contaminated.
Completely eliminate the old oil.
Ensure that the inside of the system is completely clean before filling it with new oil.
The cleaner a system is, the longer those parts subject to wear will last.
Do not attempt to clean the tank with cotton or similar materials: use white cloths free from dust and fluff, or
preferably foam-rubber sponges.
New oil should preferably be added through a portable pump unit with a filter to prevent dirty oil getting in.
To stop leaks their cause must be eliminated: tighten connectors, and change seals or elastomers as necessary.
The surfaces of the hydraulic circuit should be kept clean to prevent accidents and contamination and to enable
leaks to be detected.
Check that hoses are not cut, trapped or deteriorated. Defects of this type affect the properties of the hose and
therefore its safety coefficients. If defects are found, change the hose.

LUBRICANT CHANGES
initial maintenance
The tank must be topped up whenever its level drops below the “normal” mark on the level indicator. This is
the level required to ensure proper operation of the hydraulic system. Do not top up to above the “normal”
mark with the cylinder withdrawn.
Clean Oil
Oil may become dirty due to a combination of high working temperatures, air, water and contaminant parti-
cles. All this leads the system to run poorly, with brusque movements, increased wear, valve failures, etc.
Before assembly, check the condition of the oil and change it if necessary. To prevent oil from getting dirty an
air filter is fitted. Check this at intervals, depending on the environment.
Oil Changes
Change the oil at the times indicated or when its viscosity or oxidation levels make this advisable. Ensure
that the inside of the system is completely clean before pouring in new oil. The cleaner the system, the lon-
ger wear parts will last. Do not try to clean the tank with cotton rags or similar: use white cloth free from dust
and frayed threads, or preferably a foam rubber sponge. Add new oil with a portable pump unit fitted with a
filter to prevent any dirt getting in at the same time.
If lubricants other than those shown in the table are used, confirm with the manufacturer or supplier
that they are suitable for the intended use and meet the minimum requirements for those listed.

1 GENERAL
Nonspinning cables are made up of several layers of strands twisted alternately in one or other direction. By
this way, the opposite torsion moments generated when suspending a load from the cable are balanced.
Because their construction, wire ropes are very delicate and should be only used if necessary. They must
be handled and installed with extreme care to prevent serious problems. Because of this, we recommend
to strictly follow the instructions given in UNE standard 58-111-91WIRE ROPES FOR HOISTING DEVICES,
EXAMINATION CRITERIA AND REPLACEMENT OF ROPES.
2 CABLE HANDLING
Forms of supply:
Cables may be supplied in rolls, X-reels or flanged reels as required by the user.
Roll
The most economic form of supply is in rolls, but cable unwinding is cumbersome and should be only used in
case of thin, short cables. (Fig. 1)
X-Reel
It prevents the cable becoming tangled, but their transport is more difficult. (Fig. 1)
Flanged reel
It prevents the cable becoming tangled and handling is very easy. It also prevents the cable touching the floor,
thus preventing being fouled. It also protects the cable during loading, unloading and transport operations.
(Fig. 1)
Fig. 1
4 CABLE UNWINDING
We are sure that the users know the procedures for installing and handling the cables and that they also know,
from their own experience, that if the required precautions are not taken a premature failure could occur.
However, we believe that it would be very useful to recall these precautions, especially because they are often
neglected, in spite that they are well known.
The figures below show the correct procedures, as well as the incorrect procedures, to be followed, or avoided,
when unwinding a cable. (Fig. 2)
If the procedure is not correct, the initial twisting of the cable proper is modified and its structure significantly
altered in some positions.
Sometimes, if unsuitably handled, the cable is subjected to an overtwisting effect which will make it difficult to
handle, causing kinks. Another times there is a risk of loosening and opening the strands because the twisting
effect of strands is partially lost, impairing also the balance of the cable.
Incorrect method.
Fig. 2
5 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.- When replacing a cable, use a new cable of the type specified by the manufacturer. If other type of cable
is used, make sure that the specifications given by the same manufacturer are strictly complied with.
2.- Cable ends shall be suitably bound in order to prevent cable strands being untwisted.
3.- Before installing a new cable verify that drum and sheave slots are of suitable size.
4.- Suitably unwind the cable according to the instructions given below.
5.- When being installed, prevent the cable being twisted about its axis, as otherwise the concentric strand
layers would become separated, facilitating the formation of kinks and swellings.
6.- When installing a cable on a crane, unwind the cable from the reel and at the same time wind it on the
crab drum while applying a slight tension on the cable between reel and crab drum. It is of paramount
importance that the cable will be unwound and wound in the same direction, that is, that the reel and
crab drum will rotate in the same direction.
7.- Before putting a cable recently installed into service, make sure that all auxiliary devices are correctly
mounted and ready for operation.
8.- Perform several operations with a load 10% the nominal load to allow the cable to stabilize.
9.- Avoid applying sudden stresses.
6 LUBRICATION
The lubrication of a cable is as important as the lubrication of a car engine. The lubricant will reduce wear and
will protect the cable against corrosion.
When a load is suspended from a cable, the internal wires move and rub against each other and the external
wires are subjected to wear when sliding on sheaves and drums. The lubricant will reduce wear of both internal
and external wires.
During the manufacture of a cable, the fiber core, wire and strands are suitably lubricated with an adequate hot
lubricant. When a cable is put into service, the pressure of strands against the core makes the lubricant to be
forced outward, thus being lost more or less quickly depending on the viscosity and movement of cable.
Because of this, all cables must be periodically lubricated during their working life.
If when a cable is being lubricated, the core does not receive the amount of grease required to compensate the
grease lost, the grease applied during the manufacturing process will continue being lost, becoming increasingly
dry and finally being decomposed. As a result, the strands will be without support, being excessively pressed
against each other, the pitch of strands will become longer and the cable will quickly deteriorate.
The cable should be lubricated during its working life with the same attention and extreme care as during its
manufacturing process.
For the lubrication of an installed cable to be efficient, the following points must be observed:
- Previously clean the cable. This cleaning operation may be carried out using either rushes or pressure
air. Use a solvent to easily remove old grease residues.
- Thoroughly lubricate the cable. The lubricant should be suitably applied. If the lubricant is simply applied as
a external coating on cable surface, without penetrating into the core, the cable would be improperly
lubricated.
- Use a suitable lubricant of the following characteristics:
a.- High viscosity
b.- Resistant to the working environment, neither generating corrosive products nor hardening
c.- To remain on the cable for a long time. Lubrication frequency will depend on the working
conditions.This frequency may be determined through inspections.
Daily inspections.
Whenever possible, daily examine all exposed parts of cables in order to verify for signals of deterioration or
deformations. Pay special attention to the points in which the cable is fastened to the device. Any sensible
change in the cable condition should be identified, followed by an examination by a qualified technician.
Regular Inspections.
In determining inspection intervals, take the following into account:
a.- Requirements of law.
b.- Type of apparatus & conditions of use.
c.- Group in which the apparatus is classified.
d.- Results of previous inspections.
e.- Time of use of cable.
Periodical special.
In any case, when an incident may be cause of wear of cable and/or fastening points, or in such cases as when
a cable is put into service after being reassembled, the cable should be newly inspected.
When a hoisting device has been out of service for a certain time, the cables should be inspected before putting
then newly into service.
8 INSPECTION POINTS
General
When a cable is examined on its entire length, the following points should be inspected with special care:
- Fastening points at the ends of both working cables and idle cables.
- Parts of cable wound on sheaves of sheave block and return sheaves. For devices performing operations,
parts of cable passing on the sheaves at the point from which the load is suspended.
Schematic diagram showing the possible defects to be considered when examining the different parts
of a cable
1.- Inspect the point at which the cable is fastened to the drum.
2.- Verify for any faulty winding causing deformations (cable
flattening) or wear, especially at the points in which cable direction

- Cable ends, excepting slings. Cables should be examined on those areas in which cable end fastenings
are located, as those areas are critical for wire breakage and corrosion. Thimbles on cable ends should
be examined for deformation or wear of both the thimble and the cable.
- Cable fastenings using clamping bushes should examined in a similar manner as for cable thimbles,
verifying for bush cracking and sliding.
- Moving unions of cable ends (cable hangers, cable pincers, etc.) should be examined for broken wires,
sliding of unions or loose clamping screws. This examination should verify that all requirements of
applicable standards and regulations are complied with.
- Cable end unions made by splicing shall be examined to verify for broken wires and sliding of joined
strands. For this, let the union exposed by removing any coating or textile tie.
- If broken wires are observed in a cable end, it should be possible to cut the cable in order to newly
fastening it. If any sliding or loosen screw is observed, proceed to tighten it. However, the remaining
cable length should be sufficient to allow the cable to be properly wound on the drum.
The following criteria can be used as a basis to determine the safety degree of a cable in service:
All the above criteria should be separately examined. However, the juxtaposition of certain alterations on certain
areas may be cause of a cumulative effect which should be kept in mind when deciding whether a cable is to
be replaced.
In any case, it should be determined whether the defects are caused by a faulty device and if so, to repair the
faulty device before installing a new cable.

1) d = cable diameter.
NOTE: If a cable is totally or in part working on synthetic sheaves or metallic sheaves with synthetic
slots, breakage of internal wires with no visible breakage or wear of external wires could occur.
e) Strand breakage
If a strand is broken, the cable must be replaced.
If because any of the above causes, cable diameter (mean value of two orthogonal measurements) is reduced
with respect to nominal diameter by 3% for nonspinning cables or 10% for other cables, the cable must be
removed even if there is no visible broken wire.
A small deterioration may not be detected through a normal examination, in particular if the stresses are evenly
distributed across the strands. However, this may be cause of a significant loss of strength, which should be
determined by means of external examination procedures. If this deterioration is confirmed, the cable must be
removed.
NOTE: The actual diameter of a new cable may be greater than nominal diameter. In this case, the allowable
wear under the same conditions will be also greater.
g) Loss of elasticity
In some cases, related to the work site, cable elasticity may be significantly reduced, involving a serious risk
when subjected to high stresses.
Loss of elasticity is very difficult to detect. In case of doubt, contact a specialized technician. This fault shows
in most case the following symptoms:
This cable condition may lead to a sudden breakage when subjected to dynamic loads and must be
replaced.
h) External wear
Wear of filler wires of external strands of a cable is caused by friction of cable against sheave and drum slots.
This effect is especially evident at the contact points of moving cables with sheaves during acceleration and
slowdown periods, and results in a variation of thickness of external wires.
Wear is promoted by an insufficient or improper lubrication as well as by the presence of dust. When, as a
result of wear, the external diameter of cable is reduced by 7% or more with respect to nominal diameter, the
cable must be removed even if there is no visible broken wire.
If you suspect of internal corrosion, the cable may be subjected to internal examination, performed by a
qualified technician.
If internal corrosion is confirmed, the cable must immediately removed.
j) Deformation
The apparent alteration of a cable structure is called deformation.
The different types of deformation are in general identified by a loosening of cable structure, at least in the
vicinity of deformed parts, resulting in a uneven distribution of stresses.

10 CABLE LIFE
After the user has acquired sufficient practical experience, an estimation can be made about the life expectancy
of a cable. However, these estimations should be only used for stock management purposes and in no case
affect the frequency of inspections or be used to extend the life of a cable beyond specifications.
GENERAL
Screws, nuts and washers used for HV unions should comply with COMANSA standard NP11-01-03.
High strength screws with controlled tightening torque should be tightened using a torque wrench. The tightening
torque required is given in the section for assembling.
Torque wrenches should be periodically checked for proper operation.
Tightening torques should be within ±10% the value given in table (1).
Strength class according ISO 898 part 1 and 2 must be stamped on screw head, nut and washer as shown in
fig. 1, 2 and 3.
Strength class of screws, nuts and washers will be specified for each crane. Strength classes shown in the
figures are only for illustration purposes.
Seating surfaces and screw holes must be free from dirt, paint and other foreign particles.
HV washers should be located with the bevels outward, facing screw head or nut.
For the screws in the slewing ring, see specific section for the
slewing ring.

Checking unions which use high strength screws with controlled tightening torque:
1.- Check unions every time the crane is disassembled or before assembling it again, but never later than 1
year after last check-out.
Screws tightened according to a controlled tightening torque and then dismantled may be reused in subsequent
assemblies provided that both screw head and thread are not damaged and free from rust.
DIN 6914 screws and related DIN 6915 nuts have a width across flats greater than DIN 931 screws and related
DIN 934 nuts (Refer to table II).
When selecting the nuts, verify that nut strength is the same as screw strength.
For instance: A nut 8 will require a screw 8.8
A nut 10 will require a screw 10.9
A nut 12 will require a screw 12.9
Washers used on unions with HV screws should be high strength washers of the same material as screws and
nuts used.
Avoid using:
Screws with rusty shank or thread as well as nuts with rusty thread and screws or nuts damaged or with da-
mage signals.
If a broken or elongated (loosened) screw is observed in a union, replace all screws in that union.
These checking and tightening operations can be done more easily with the crane
disassembled.
- The figures on the above chart are only applicable to the fixing elements which comply with
NP11-01-03 COMANSA standard.
- The torque ratings are obtained by means of torque wrench and must be accurate to ±10%.
- The torque ratings are intended for fixing elements free from lubricant, dust, dirt, paint or other
foreingn bodies. In case of any other conditions, different to the indicated, the torque should be
adjusted to these new conditions.

(M) The given torque corresponds to the specified type of bolt, DACROMET type 320A surface protection, WITHOUT
GREASE, and is applied to bearing surfaces and holes free from grease, dirt, paint and other foreign objects. For
any other condition than that descrubed above, the torque should should be adjusted accordingly.
(C) The Checking torque applied during inspections and maintenance, to detect if any bolts have lost their
torque to below the permitted tolerance, should be 10% less than that applied during the initial installation
of the ring, so as to avoid overtightening the bolts as a result of different conditions from those exisitng
at the time of initial installation.
Procedure for checking torque of cross-base anchor feet bolts on erected crane:
A. Visual Inspection:
A.1 Observe carefully the visual aspect of the bolts and nuts, insofar as to establish that they are all in place and have
no appreciable defects (noticeable loosening, damaged nuts or bolts, rust stains,...)
A.2 Check that the seating of the anchor feet on the cross-base is correct and that no play or movement is
apparent. This can be best controlled by slewing the crane, without load, and observing the seating on
the side of the ring facing the jib.
N.B. A visual inspection carried out in a professional manner can detect important defects
more efectively than a spot checking of the torque.
With the crane dismantled, on the ground, checking of slewing ring bolt torque can be carried
out much more simply and evenly, in sequence.
