5. CRANE TERMINOLOGY
5.1 TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
[1] RATED TOTAL LOAD
The maximum load that can be applied according to the
boom length and angle. The load includes the mass
(weight) of hoisting accessories (hooks) and slinging
ropes.
[2] RATED LOAD
A load derived by subtracting the mass (weight) of hoisting
accessories (hooks) and slinging ropes from the rated total
load, and can be hoisted.
[3] WORKING RADIUS
A horizontal distance between the axis of slewing and the
hook centre.
[4] BOOM LENGTH
Refers to the distance between the boom primary pin and
the sheave pin of the boom end.
[5] BOOM DERRICK ANGLE
Refers to the angle which the boom forms with the horizon.
[6] LIFTING HEIGHT ABOVE GROUND
A vertical distance between the hook bottom end and the
ground with the hook raised to the upper limit.
8
5.2 DIAGRAM OF WORKING RADIUS AND LIFTING HEIGHT
The working radius/lifting height shows relationship between working radius, boom
angle and lifting height above ground of this machine with no load hoisted, and
deflection of the boom is not included.
Stage "4" in the diagram of working radius and lifting height indicates that one half
portion of the " mark" is extruding from the 4th stage boom.
1. The point A in the figure at right indicates the boom angle
and point B the lifting height above ground.
The working radius of points A and B are the same.
2. The "diagram of working radius and lifting height" shows
the relationships between the working radius, boom
angle and lifting height at no load, allowing for no
deflection in the boom.
A deflection occurs in the boom when an object is hoisted,
which causes the working radius to widen slightly.
The rated total load decreases with increase in the
working radius. Actual crane operation requires the
planning of work, allowing for sufficient clearance more
than that provided in the diagram.
9
5.3 RATED TOTAL LOAD CHART
Rated total load chart is based on level, hard ground.
Values given in the rated total load chart are based on the working radius including
the deflection of boom under actual load.
When boom (3) is extended even for a minimal extent, perform the work within the
capacity indicated in the column of "boom (3)".
When boom (4) is
extended even for a minimal extent, perform the work within the
capacity indicated in the column of "boom (4)".
When more than one-half of the "
mark" of boom (4) is exposed from boom (3),
perform the work within the capacity indicated in the column of "boom (5)".
If working radius exceeds the value of Working Radius column in the chart by any
extent, work should be performed within the rated total load in the next column of
Working Radius.
The value of a rated total load including the mass of hoisting accessories (hook: 90
kg (applicable for 2-fall and 4-fall wire rope) or 20 kg (dedicated for Single-fall hook
wire).
10
The rated total load chart provides the maximum loads that the crane is capable of hoisting
objects depending on boom length by working radius.
11

19
1.5 OTHER PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION AGAINST BEING CAUGHT
In the periphery of the upper slewing body and crane unit, the
clearance varies with the motion of derricking cylinder and
winch. If being caught in it, serious injury may occur.
Keep persons away from all rotating and telescoping
sections. Never allow your body or part of it to get in the following gaps:
• Between the boom and the upper slewing body
• Between the boom and the derricking cylinder
• Between winch drum and wire rope
• Between each sheave and wire rope
REMODELING THE MACHINE IS PROHIBITED
Do not remodel the Machine without our written consent under any circumstances. Particularly, partial welding of the Machine may damage the safety device. The remodeling raises a safety issue, so consult us or our sales service agency beforehand. We cann
ot be held responsible for any personal injury or failure caused by remodeling the
Machine that was performed without consulting us.
CAUTIONS ON ATTACHMENTS AND OPTIONAL UNITS
• We cannot be held responsible for any personal injury, failures or property
damage of
attachments and optional units that are not recognized by us.
• Installing an attachment or optional units may give rise to safety and legal issues, and thus the customer is kindly requested to consult with us or our sales service agency beforehand.
• Depending on the combination of attachments and optional units they may cause interference with operating cabin and machine parts. Interference with the Machine during operation may cause serious injury. Check to ensure that the attachments and
optional units to be used

20
2. OPERATION RELATED PRECAUTIONS
2.1 PRECAUTIONS ON WORK SITE
SURVEY AND SAFETY ASSURANCE OF WORK SITE
A number of risks that may cause serious injury are imbedded in a work site. Before starting work, check the following matters beforehand to ensure that no danger is present at the
worksite:
• When working near straw-
thatched roofs, dead leaves or dead grass, beware of those
fire-catching object.
• Investigate the ground and road surface condition of the worksite and decide the best working method. At a site where risk of landslide or rock fall exists, do not operate the Machine.
• Flatten the inclination of the worksite before starting work.
• When working over the roadway, enforc
e "keep out" by, for instance, assigning guides or
surrounding the site by barriers, and ensure the safety of the traffic vehicles and pedestrians.
Enforce "keep out" to prevent people from entering the worksite and apply measures to
prevent people from approaching. Attempt
to approach the moving Machine may result in
pinching or hard collision by contact, and may result in serious accidents and deaths.
• When running on a shallow bottom stream or weak ground, examine the water depth, water flow velocity
as well as ground condition and land features in advance in order to avoid
hazardous place for traveling and operation.
The ground of a zone adjacent to a cliff, road shoulder, and deep ditch is likely to be
loosened, and thus it should be avoided for running and performing operation. The ground in such a zone may be collapsed by the mass and/or vibration of the Machine, which may trip or fall. Be especially careful after rain, use of dynamite, or earthquakes, as the ground will be unstable.
• The ground of an area near an earth fill or in the vicinity of a dug gutter may be collapsed by the mass and/or vibration of the Machine, resulting in the trip or fall of the Machine. Before
starting operation, take necessary measures to make the ground intact and safe.
SECURING VIEWS
This Machine is equipped with such devices as mirror and rear view camera that provide
improved views. Though some areas can hardly viewed from the operator's seat, and thus be cautious in operation. Running and operating in places
with poor visibility prevent the operator from detecting
hazards around the Machine and recognizing work site status, and thus may cause serious
injury.
When running and operating the Machine in place with poor visibility, strictly observe the
following:
• If adequate view cannot be secured, deploy personnel as a marshaller as required. In that case, limit the number of signaling marshaller to one person.
• In a dark place, turn on the working light and head lamps equipped with the Machine, and use additional lighting devices as required to light up the work site.
• When visibility is spoiled by fog, snow, rain or sand dust, stop the operation.
• If the mirrors mounted on the Machine are contaminated, clean them and adjust the field of view to secure visibility.
If the rear view camera is contaminated, clean the lens to secure clear vision around the
periphery.
RECOGNIZING THE SIGNAL OF MARSHALLERS AND STREET SIGNS
• To ensure the identification of weak road shoulder and ground, install sign boards. Further,
for a place with poor visibility, appoint marshaller as required. In that case, limit the number of signaling marshaller to one person.
The operator should pay attention to sign boards and follow the marshaller's instructions.
• All the pe
rsonnel involved should understand the meaning of every signal, sign and sign
board.

BEWARE OF ELECTRICAL CABLE ABOVE
• Do not let the Machine touch the electrical cables above.
High voltage cables may also inflict electrical shock by close proximity.
• Slinging operators are likely to suffer electrical shocks.
Always observe the following to prevent accidents.
• If the boom or the wire ropes may contact an electrical cable in the workplace, consult the electricity company and make sure that the measures (for instance placement of a guard personnel or application of wrap tubes and warning tags to the electrical cable) stipulated by the related regulations are taken before starting work.
• Put on rubber soled shoes and rubber gloves, and be careful that the body parts unprotected by rubber or other insulation do not contact the wire rope or the Machine frame.
• Place a guide and let him/her watch so that the boom, wire rope or Machine frame does not go near the electrical cable too much. Before
doing so, decide the emergency signs and other
necessities.
• Ask the electricity company for the voltage in the electrical cables at the worksite.
• Secure the separation (safe distance) shown in the following table between the boom/Machine frame and electrical cables.
MEASURES WHEN CHARGE ACCIDENT OCCURS
If a charge accident occurs, react calmly and take measures in the following procedure.
1. Report
Immediately report to the electricity company or related management company, and receive
instructions for the power transmission stop, emergency procedures and related matters.
2. Evacuation of related personnel from vicinity of Machine
Evacuate all personnel, including workers, from the vicinity of the machine to prevent secondary disasters. Personnel who suffered elec
trical shock by holding a sling rope, guide rope or other conductor
when the Machine was charged should evacuate by his/her own effort. Do not try to help personnel affected by electric shock.
Otherwise, secondary electrical shock
accident will occur.
3. Emergency procedure
In the case of personnel receiving an electric shock due to the machine being electrically charged, do the following: (1) If the machine is operational, immediately move it to a safe location away from the cause of the
electrical charge. Take care not to break or disrupt the distribution power cable.
(2)
Move the machine to a safe location, and after making sure the machine is not electrically
charged, take the affected personnel to the hospital.
4. Measure after accident
After the accident, do not reuse as is.
Such attempt may cause unexpected accidents and
enhances failures.
Ask us or our sales service agency for repair.
22
CAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING CRANE IN LOCATION WITH HIGH OUTPUT MICROWAVE EMISSION
Operating the crane near high output microwave emission equipment such as a radar or TV/radio broadcast antenna causes the crane construction to be exposed to the microwave
and generates induced current, therefore is very dangerous. In addition, the mechatronics may become haywire.
Establish grounding between the Machine frame and the ground when working in such
location. In addition, slinging operators are requested to wear rubber boots and rubber gloves
since risk of electrical shock by contacting parts such as the hook or wire exists.
BEWARE OF ASBESTOS DUST
Inhalation of asbestos dust may result in lung cancer. This Machine does not contain asbestos, but asbestos may be
found in the wall, ceiling or other construction locations within the worksite of this Machine.
In addition, be careful of the
following when working with a material that may contain
asbestos.
Put on designated dust free mask and/or other protection
equipment where necessary.
• Do not use compressed air for cleaning.
• Spray water
when cleaning to prevent airborne asbestos
dust.
Always work at windward location when operating the
Machine at a site that may contain asbestos dust.
• Do not allow unauthorized personnel to approach the work site.
• Strictly observe the assigned rules
related to the worksite
and environmental standard.
23
2.2 CAUTIONS WHEN STARTING ENGINE
PAY ATTENTION TO WARNING SIGNS
When warning sign "DANGER. DO NOT OPERATE!" is put
up, the Machine is being inspected and under maintenance. Do
not start the engine and refrain from touching operating
levers. Disregarding the warning sign to operate the Machine
may give rise to the danger of involving the preparing personnel into the rotating parts or movable parts of the
Machine, resulting in serious injury.
INSPECTING AND ADJUSTING BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Before starting engine at the beginning of the day, perform items under "Operations 3.1
PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION" and conduct the following inspections. Omitting these inspections may cause serious bodily accidents.
• Never fail to execute the inspection before starting work.
• Remove the contamination on the window glass surface to secure good view.
• Clean the lens surface of head lamps and working lights and ensure that they are properly lit.
• Check the coolant water level, fuel level, engine oil pan level, air cleaner for any clogging and electric wiring for any damage.
• Adjust the operator's seat to the operator's posture for easy work. Also, check seat belts and their mounting fixtures for any damage or abrasion.
Refer to the descriptions under "OPERATION 3.1.2 [11] ADJUSTING THE OPERATOR'S SEAT".
Adjust the mirrors to the best position for commanding a good view of rear scene and the
drum from the driver's seat.
Refer to the descriptions under "OPERATION 3.1.2 [12] ADJUSTMENT OF MIRRORS ".
• Adjust the rear view camera to the best angle to check the image on the monitor display and command a good view of the scene in the rear.
Refer to the descriptions under "OPERATION 3.1.2 [14] ANGLE ADJUSTMENT OF REAR VIEW CAMERA ".
• Check pedals for any dirt or foreign matter deposited on their movable parts and ensure that they can function satisfactorily.
• Check instruments to ensure that they function properly and each of the operating levers is in its neutral position.
Always repair if any result of the above is faulty.
CAUTIONS BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
• Make sure nobody is on or under the Machine and in its
vicinity and nobody or no hazard is found within the boom slewing range.
• Do not allow anyone other than the operator to get on the Machine.
Start the engine only when the operator is sitting on the
operator's seat.
Check to ensure that each of the operating levers is in its
neutral position.
• Check to ensure that lock lever (1) is in the "LOCK" position (L).
• Honk the horn for warning before starting the engine.
• Do not start the engine by short-circuiting the starter circuit.
This may cause a fire.
24
CAUTIONS UNDER COLD WEATHER
Remove snow from and defrost the surface of the slewing gear, boom and around winch, and ensure that their
movements before starting work.
• Before starting the engine, ensure that the automatic glow lamp goes off.
• Operating the Machine without sufficient engine warm-up
causes slow response of the Machine to the operation of
levers and pedals, and thus unexpected motion may occur against the operator's will. Do not fail to execute the engine warm-up. The engine requires an adequate warm-
up time
especially in cold climates.
• When the battery electrolyte is frozen, do not recharge the battery or start the engine with another power source. Such act may cause the battery to catch fire or explode. Defreeze
the battery electrolyte and check for fluid leak before
re-
charging or starting the engine by using another power
supply.
After end of the work, wipe off and put on a cover if
substances such as condensation, snow or mud are stuck to the wire harness, connector(1), switches, sensors or similar part. If the infiltrated condensation and/or similar substance freeze, the Machine may operate improperly upon the next use and cause unexpected accidents.
CAUTIONS WHEN STARTING UP USING BOOSTER CABLE
Wrong booster cable connection method may result in fire, so always observe the following.
When using a booster cable for engine start, perform the
2-
person operation by one person on the operator's seat
and another on the battery side.
• When starting the engine using other Machine, be careful to
prevent contact between the normal Machine and broken
Machine.
• Keep the starter switch key of both the normal Machine and the broken Machine in "OFF
" position when the booster
cable is connected.
• Do not connect to wrong side [connecting (+) to (-), (-) to (+)] when connecting the booster cable.
• Start connecting from (+)
terminal first, but start
disconnecting from (-) terminal (ground) first.
• Connect the ground to the (-) terminal of the broken Machine when connecting the ground as the last procedure.
Refer to the description under “OPERATION 8.3.4
STARTING ENGINE WITH BOOSTER CABLE ".
Avoid contact between clips of the booster cable, and
contact between a clip and the Machine when disconnecting the booster cable.
25
2.3 PRECAUTIONS FOR STARTING CARRIER AND OPERATING CRANE
INSPECTION BEFORE STARTING OPERATION
Omitting the inspections after starting the engine results in delay to discover the Machine
abnormalities, and may result in accidents and Machine damages. Inspection should be carried out in a clear area. No unauthorized persons should be able to approach the Machine.
• Ensure that motion of the Machine coincides with the indication of pattern card.
• Check the operation status of devices, running status of the Machine, winch wind up/down, boom derricking, and crane operating status such as telescoping and slewing.
• Inspect the sound, vibration, heat and odour of the Machine, and check for instrument errors, air leaks, oil leaks, fuel leaks, water leaks and other bad factors. Be especially careful for the fuel leak.
• Always repair broken part whenever an abnormality is found.
Attempt to use without servicing may result in unexpected accidents and/or Machine failures.
CAUTIONS ON MACHINE FORWARDING/REVERSING AND SLEWING
Always observe the following to prevent serious injuries and
accidental death when moving the Machine.
• Set the Machine to the travelling posture in the right figure. Do not allow the machine to travel without retracting the hook block.
• Before traveling, move the sprocket to the rear of the machine.
Leaving the sprocket in front of the Machine causes the direction of actual running to be in reverse of the running
lever, and thus the Machine may move toward undesired direction, resulting in serious bodily accidents.
• Make sure the boom is fully lowered and retracted.
• When moving the Machine for a short distance, fix the hook
block in the retracting position at the tip of the boom. When moving it for a long distance, fix the hook block to the hook holder at the front end of the upper slewing body.
Refer to the descriptions under "OPERATION 3.7 MACHINE TRAVELLING POSTURE ".
Keep the door and window of operator's cabin always fixed
either open or closed. Nevertheless, when being in such an area
where any flying object may come into the cabin, be sure to
keep them closed.
• If any person is staying around the Machine, they may come into
contact of the Machine or may be caught by it, resulting in a
serious bodily accident.
Before starting to move, strictly observe the following:
• Operate the Machine only when the operator is sitting on the operator's seat.
• Do not fail to wear the seat belt. Otherwise, the operator may be forced to jump out of the cabin because of an emergency braking, resulting in injury.
• Make sure to check around again so that no one or no object is in the vicinity before starting to move.
Before starting to move, be sure to honk the horn to warn
people around the Machine.
• When ru
nning, check to ensure that the traveling alarm
sounds normally.
• When there is a view-
obstructing range in the rear of the
Machine, appoint a marshaller to ensure that no contact
accident will occur and slew the machine by paying adequate attention.
Even if the Machine is equipped with mirrors and the rear view
camera, be sure to appoint a marshaller.
26
CAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELLING
Always observe the following to prevent serious injuries and
accidental death when moving the Machine.
• Set the Machine to the travelling posture in the right figure.
Refer to the preceding subsection "CAUTIONS ON
MACHINE FORWARDING/REVERSING AND SLEWING".
Do not attempt looking sideways or other dangerous act
when driving.
• Do not over speed, start moving/stopping/slewing suddenly, or meander since such acts are dangerous.
• During traveling, keep an adequate distance from persons,
structures and other machines to prevent any contact
accident.
• When running on a rough terrain or a steep slope, be sure
to turn the automatic deceleration switch OFF (for
cancellation).
Operating the Machine while the switch is
turned ON raises the engine revolution speed, and the
vehicle speed may suddenly be increased.
• Avoid moving over any obstacle. Travel as slow
ly as
possible when moving over an obstacle for unavoidable
reason. Since the Machine tends to tumble more easily in the lateral direction rather than in the longitudinal direction, never attempt to move over an obstacle that will cause the Machine to inclined to leftward or rightward.
• When traveling on a rough terrain, keep the vehicle speed
at low level to avoid tumbling and also avoid any abrupt
change of traveling direction. Such may cause the Machine to lose balance or damage the Machine or nearby object.
When running on a bridge or crossing over a structure, check the withstand strength of the bridge or viaduct
against the Machine mass beforehand.
Further, when
running on a public road, check with the competent
authorities and follow their instructions.
When operating the Machine in a place where machine
height is restricted such as in a tunnel, in a building, under an overpass or cables, pay close attention to prevent the
Machine and crane from coming into contact of those objects and operate the Machine slowly.
27
BE CAREFUL WHEN TRAVELLING OVER SLOPE
Always observe the following to prevent serious injuries and
death accidents when travelling over a slope for unavoidable reason.
• When running on a slope, be sure to store the hook block in
the hook holder at the front end of the upper slewing body to form a running posture.Any simplified fixation of the hook at the tip of boom gives rise to the risk of loosening during
running. Refer to the descriptions under "OPERATION 3.7 MACHINE TRAVELLING POSTURE
" for the travelling
posture of the Machine.
When running on a slope having an inclination of 10 degrees or more, climb the slope in the reverse direction and run downhill in the forward direction.Thus, always
allow the Machine front to face the valley when running on
a slope.Climbing the slope in the forward direction and
going downhill in the reverse direction cause the Machine
to be unstable, giving rise to the risk of tumbling or lateral
skidding.
• When running on an inclined terrain, d
irect the machine
perpendicular to the slope and never change the direction
on the slope or drive parallel to the slope. Practice safe travelling by for instance lowering to the plain land and divert.
Always keep such condition during running that the
Ma
chine can stop any time when it slips or becomes
unstable.
• When running downhill, lower the engine revolution and set the running lever close to the neutral position and run in a low speed.
• When running on a ground covered with grass and leaves or
on a wet steel plate, keep the speed to minimal. If the
ground in such condition is inclined only slightly, it is
extremely slippery.
• If the engine comes to a sudden stop, immediately return each operating lever to its neutral position, and then restart
it.
28
BE CAREFUL OF TRIPPING ON UNSTABLE GROUND
Always observe the following to prevent serious injuries and death accidents when travelling
over an unstable ground for unavoidable reasons.
• Do not enter soft ground area. The machine may get stuck.
• The ground near cliff, roadside and deep gully is unstable, so avoid going near such ground
as much as possible. The Machine may trip or fall when the ground loosens due to mass and/or vibration of the Machine. Be especially careful after rain, use of dynamite, or earthquakes, as the ground will be unstable.
• Avoid going near the earth fills or vicinity of dug gutter that are instable.
Crumbles caused by mass and/or vibration of the Machine may cause the Machine to tilt.
CAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELLING SNOW COVERED OR FROZEN GROUND
Always observe the following to prevent serious injuries and death accidents when travelling
over snow covered ground or frozen road for unavoidable reason.
• The snow covered grounds and frozen roads cause slips even when the inclination is small,
so decrease the speed when travelling and avoid sudden starting/stopping/slewing. Uphill and downhill are especially likely to cause slips and thus dangerous.
• Frozen ground tends to be weak with the increase of atmospheric temperatu
re, and may
cause the Machine to tumble or obstruct the operator to get off. Be very careful.
• Moving into an area covered with deep snow may cause the Machine to tumble or dive into
the snow. Be cautious of erroneously deviating outward from the road shoulder or driving into a snow drift.
• Running on a snowbound site may encounter the risk of tumbling or collision because of an
invisible road shoulder or snow-covered installations. Be very careful.
• Refrain from directly touching metal surface with your
hands or fingers in cold and harsh
weather conditions. Touching metal surface may result in skin freezing to the metal surface.
• Remove snow and/or ice laid on the Machine that causes the safety nameplates to be hard to read. Be especially careful to securely remove those that are on the boom and thus may
fall.
CAUTIONS WHEN PARKING
• For parking, select an area with flat and solid ground.
• For parking, select an area without the risk of landslide, rock fall
and water submersion.
• When parking, set
the Machine to the "traveling posture" as
shown in the figure at the right.
• Make sure the boom is fully lowered and retracted.
• When parking the Machine for a short period of time, fix the hook block in the retracting position at the tip of the boom. When parking for a long time, fix the hook block in the hook holder at the front end of the upper slewing body.
When inevitably stopping the machine on an inclined area,
strictly observe the following:
• Make sure the boom is fully lowered and retracted.
• When parking the Machine for a short period of time, fix the hook block in the retracting position at the tip of the boom. When parking for a long time, fix the hook block in the hook holder at the front end of the upper slewing body.
• Direct the boom toward the valley.
• To keep the Machine immobile, apply a block as a chock.
• When leaving the Machine, strictly observe the following:
Set the lock lever (1) to "LOCK" position (L), and stop the
engine.
• Be sure to close the cabin door, and apply every lock. Do not
fail to remove the starter key to prevent the Machine from
operated by other personnel without approval, and keep it in a
specified place.
29
2.4 CAUTIONS DURING CRANE OPERATION
INSPECTION BEFORE STARTING WORK
Check that the safety devices and crane operate properly.
Operate each of the operation levers, pedals and switches under no load, and check that
operations take place without any abnormality. Repair immediately if any abnormality exists.
• Check such safety devices as moment
limiter (overload prevention device), over winding
prevention device and over-
unwinding prevention device to ensure that they function
normally.
CAUTIONS WHEN SETTING MOMENT LIMITER
• In the moment limiter, the moment is calculated on the assumption that the machine is
placed horizontally.
If crane work is performed without the machine being placed horizontally, no forecast or
warning is issued even when the rated total load is approached. Never fail to check the inclination of the Machine by using the level on monitor.
When using the moment limiter, check to ensure that the indicators of boom angle, boom
length and actual load are interlocked with the crane motion to give correct values. If the
crane is used with no correct indication given, correct measurement results cannot be
obtained, causing serious physical injury due to tumbling or damage of the machine.
• When using the moment limiter, be sure to check that the setting of wire falls of the moment limiter matches the wire falls of the crane. If the number of falls does not match each other, either alter the setting of wire fall count moment limiter or alter that of crane so that the count matches each other. Using the moment limiter wi
thout matching its number of falls may
cause the breakage of wire rope, resulting in a serious bodily accident.
• Do not change the setting carelessly during measurement with the moment limiter.
Otherwise, correct measurement results cannot be obtained, causing serious physical injury
due to tumbling or damage of the machine.
CAUTIONS FOR SELECTING A PLACE TO INSTALL
Always place the Machine on a level, stable and solid ground. It is dangerous to install on any of the following places:
• Simple asphalt pavement
• Thin concrete pavement
• Flagstone pavement
• Areas where under the pavement surface is hollow due to water erosion and the top soil appears to be hard but soft in the ground
• Soft ground near a road shoulder or dug hole
• Slope
30
CAUTIONS WHEN WORKING ON A SLOPE
When inevitably perform operation on a slope, provide an
earth fill (B) to create a horizontal, solid and strong footing for installing the Machine in order to prevent it from tumbling. Attempting a diagonal hoisting without
ensuring the
horizontal installation of the Machine not only disturbs the
normal functioning of the moment limiter (overload prevention
device), but also affect the Machine with an unexpected
force, resulting in tumbling or damage of the Machine.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND SIGNS WHEN WORKING
• When operating the crane, appoint a work supervisor and mutual signs beforehand, and follow the work supervisor
and signs during operation.
When operating at a driver's blind spot, especially follow
the instr
uctions and signs of the work supervisor and
operate with caution.
When operating the crane, there is a danger of colliding
with slewing boom and upper slewing body and of the gaps
between movable parts of the derrick cylinder that may
catch body parts such as your arm or finger.
The operator is requested to make sure no one is within the
working radius of the crane before operating.
CAUTIONS UNDER COLD WEATHER
• Remove snow from and defrost the surface of the slewing gear, boom and around winch, and
ensure that their movements before starting work.
• Check the brake of winch to ensure that it works properly.
• Operating the Machine without sufficient engine warm-
up causes slow response of the
Machine to the operation of levers and pedals, and thus unexpected motion may occur
against the operator's will. Do not fail to execute the engine warm-up. The engine requires an adequate warm-up time especially in cold climates.
For details of engine warm-up, refer to "OPERATION 3.4.1 WARM-UP OPERATIONS FOR ENGINE" and "OPERATION 3.4.2 WARM-
UP OPERATIONS FOR HYDRAULIC
EQUIPMENT".
• Avoid revving up the engine immediately after starting it.
• Deposited snow within the crane operation range may cause tumbling of unloaded objects or catching feet of operators around the Machine. First
remove snow before starting a crane
operation.
• In cold weather conditions, check that the
load before being hoisted is not frozen to the
ground or other substance. Attempt to hoist without knowing the load is frozen and stuck to the ground or other substance is dangerous.
• At the end of the work, if substances such as condensation, snow or mud are stuck to the wire harnesses, connectors, switches, sensors or similar parts, wipe them off and put covers on them. If
the infiltrated condensation and/or similar substance freeze, the Machine may
operate improperly upon the next use and cause unexpected accidents.
31
PAY ATTENTION TO WEATHER INFORMATION
• A risk of lightning exists in case of a thunderstorm, so abort operating the crane, immediately
lower the load and retract the boom.
• Wind can cause the hoisted load to move back and forth, which could cause the machine to become unstable. If the hoisted load is affected, immediately lower the load and retract the boom.
• If the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 10 m/s or greater, abort operating the crane, immediately lower the load and retract the boom.
• Even when the maximum instantaneous wind speed is below 10 m/s
, the bigger the hoist
load, the higher the hoist load position, or the longer the boom can increase the effect from the wind. Be very careful during the work.
• When operating the extended boom, the winch wire rope and electric signal cables are prone to be blown up by winds, and thus be cautious of the operation. Similarly, the peripheral area of a high-rise building, winds blow its sides and may gather their velocity much higher, which deserve attention.
• When a load such as a steel plate that has a large area exposed to wind is being hoisted, the wind arriving from front/rear/side of the boom may cause the Machine to trip or damage the boom. Be very careful during the work.
• The higher the boom is derricked, the higher the probability of tumbling backward is raised by wind blowing from ahead. Thus, adequate attention is required in the operation.
• When an earthquake occurs, abort the operation and wait until it is over.
The following table indicates approximate relation between the wind speed and wind
effect. The wind speed mentioned in the weathercast is mean wind velocity (m/s) during 10 minutes at 10m above the ground.

CAUTIONS WHEN SLINGING
• Check the following before hoisting a load.
Attempt to hoist the load without checking may result in serious accidents by dropping the load or tripping.
• Observe the values in the rated total load chart.
• Hoist from the centre of gravity of the load.
• Check that the wire rope of the hook block is vertical.
• When the load leaves the ground, stop winding up the load once and check whether the
load is stable.
• Before hoisting a slung load, always check whether the sling wire rope "retainer device" of the hook block is hung correctly. If the "retainer device" is not hung, the wire rope may leave the hook block and cause the load to fall resulting in a serious accident.
• Larger wire rope angle when hoisting the load increases force that applies to the wire rope even when the load weight is unchanged, thus may cause the wire rope to snip. Give due consideration to slinging operation so that excessive force is not applied to the wire rope.
• Hoist only 1 piece of load at a time.
Attempts to hoist more than one load may cause the hoist bracket to hit and damage the
other hoisted load, or the loads move and lose balance, causing serious accidents such as tripping. Do not hoist more than 1 piece of load even if the total combined weight is within the rated total load.
• Hoisting of lengthy load causes the load to lose balance and is dangerous.
In the case of such load, hoist vertically by using a cramp, or achieve balance of the hoisted
load by applying a rope to both ends of the load.
CAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE
• Wire ropes can wear out from constant use or old age, so be sure to
inspect every time before work, and replace
immediately if at or beyond the replacement standard. At the same time, inspect the sheave at the tip of the boom and the sheave of the hook block. Damaged sheaves accelerate the damage of the wire ropes.
• Use wire ropes specified by us.
• Otherwise, the operator may get wounded by snipped wires that are sticking out.
Always wear leather gloves when handling the wire rope.
• Do not use a wire rope of which any of the following applies:
• 10 % or more of wires of 1 strand (except a filler wire) of a
wire rope are snipped.
• The wire rope diameter abrasion is beyond 7
% of the
nominal diameter.
• Kinked wire rope.
• Excessively deformed or corroded wire rope.
• Affected by heat or sparks.
33
CAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING CRANE
• Stability of a crane is decisively critical in the transverse direction of the carrier. In
the diagonal
direction, although stability is increased, exceeding the rated load may result in damage of the
boom or Machine body. Do
not turn the moment limiter (overload prevention device) off, even if
operating in the diagonal direction.
• Be sure to check that the override switch is at the "OFF" (auto) position before operating the crane.
Do not attempt to operate the crane when the override switch is at the "ON" (cancel) position. The override switch is permitted to be at the "ON" (cancel) position o
nly during inspection or
maintenance works.
Perform work while paying attention to the display and warning of the monitor of moment limiter
(overload prevention device).
Attempt to work beyond the capacity of the Machine may cause serious accidents and failures
caused by for instance tripping or fluctuation. Observe the rated total load chart when operating the crane.
• Perform the crane operation slowly.
Sudden use of lever or accelerator may cause risks such as shaking, dropping of the load or
collision with the surroundings. Be especially careful to be slow during the slewing operations.
• When operating the crane, appoint a work supervisor and perform the work under the supervisor's instructions.
Follow the supervisor's instructions on the method and procedure for the work. Determine the method for details of mutual signs and follow the signs.
• Hoisting of lengthy load causes the load to lose balance and is dangerous. In the case of such load, apply a rope to both ends of to stabilize the hoisted load.
• Do not allow unauthorized personnel to approach the working radius or under the load because of risks of falling load and contact with load. This could cause a serious bodily accident. Also consider that the working radius increases when the load is hoisted and the boom is deflected.
• Operations requiring more than the machine performance can cause accidents or failure. Crane operations must always be carried out according to the rated total load chart.
• Be careful to prevent the wire rope and/or hoisted load from contacting an obstacle such as a tree or steel when hoisting a load. If caught by an obstacle, do not forcibly wind up the hoist load, but untangle the caught part before winding up.
• Do not pull laterally, pull toward you or hoist diagonally. Such
attempt may cause the crane to
tumble or get damaged.
• It is dangerous to operate the crane under bad weather or at places where the view is not clear. Work lamps or other lighting devices should be used in dark places. When the view is bad because of bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.), stop the operation and wait until the weather recovers.
• Do not use for purpose, for instance raising a person using a crane, other than the true purpose.
• If the alarm buzzer of the over-hoist detector sounds, immediately release your hand off the winch lever. Winding-up of the hook block stops. Then
, operate the winch lever "downward" (push it
forward) to wind down the hook block. Also, a boom extending operation hoists the hook block. For the distance from the boom and hook block, provide a sufficient allowance for operating the crane.
• When the boom is extended, the hook block is wound up. Operate the winch lever "downward" and extend the boom while lowering the hook block.
• If an overload is caused during work, operate the winch lever "downward" and wind down the winch to unload.
Do not violently raise or lower the boom. Such attempt may cause serious accidents by tumbling.
• The volume of the hydraulic oil in each of the cylinders changes depending on the temperature. By leaving idle with a load being hoisted, as the time passes by the oil temperature drops and the hydraulic oil volume decreases, and changes such as the boom derrick angle decrease and boom length decrease may occur. In that case, execute boom derricking operations and boom extension operations appropriately to correct.
• Do not leave the operator's seat when a load is hoisted. When leaving the operating position, first unload and set the lock lever to "LOCK" position.
• When the hook block is not used, wind up the winch. The hook block of an empty load may hit operators near the load.
• Operation while hoisting a vibro compactor or other vibration generating attachment is in principle
prohibited. The winch or other unit may be damaged by the vibration of the attachment.
34
CAUTIONS ABOUT HIGH TEMPERATURE OIL WHEN OPERATING CRANE
When hydraulic oil temperature exceeds 80°C, high pressure hoses and seals can be
damaged by heat, and it may cause burning to skin from oil spray. If temperature of hydraulic oil exceeds 80°
C, stop the operation and wait until the oil cools
down. Continuous crane operation for a high lifting height with the accelerator pedal depressed will
increase the hydraulic oil temperature. Take special care during this operation.
CAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING WINCH
• Select a suitable number of wire rope falls to the hook and
boom length to the mass of hoisted load.
Refer to "OPERATION 4. HANDLING OF WIRE ROPE"
for details.
Do not allow persons to enter the area below the hoisted
load.
When hoisting a load, always stop once at the "takeoff"
position where the hoisted load leaves the ground. Check subjects such as load stability and load force, then hoist up the load.
• Do not pull laterally, pull toward you or hoist diagonally. Such atte
mpt may cause the crane to tumble or get
damaged.
• Overwinding of the hook block may result in collision with
the boom, snipping the wire ropes and causing the hook
block and load to fall and may lead to serious accidents. Take care not to overwind the hook block.
• Be careful to prevent the wire rope and/or hoisted load from contacting an obstacle such as a tree or steel when hoisting a load. If caught by an obstacle, do not forcibly wind up the hoist load, but untangle the caught part before winding up.
• Do not use the winch drum wire that is wound up irregularly. If wound up irregularly, not only the wire rope gets damaged and the lifetime is shortened, but it may snip the wire rope and causes serious accidents. Observe the following precautions to avoid wire rope from winding up irregularly.
• Do not let the hook block tumble on the ground.
When lowering the hook block for a long distance for
underground works, be sure to leave more than 3 turns of the wire rope on the winch drum.
• When decelerating from a high-speed hoisting, slacken the accelerator pedal to lower the engine revolution, and then slowly return the right-hand side machine operation lever. A sharp returning of the right machine operation lever while leaving the revolution at a high leve
l causes the hook to
jump up due to the rapid deceleration shock, resulting in an irregular winding.
Use the winding and unwinding operations in the
high-speed mode when winding or unwinding the hook only. Winding and unwinding a hoisted load in the high-speed mode may cause such a serious accident as damage of the boom or frame, or tumbling of the Machine.
• If the wire rope is twisted and causes the hook block to turn, fully eliminate the twist before work.
Refer to the description under "OPERATION 4.3
MEASURE WHEN WINCH WIRE ROPE IS TWISTED".
35
CAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING BOOM
• Perform boom operation lever operation as slowly as
possible. Especially avoid sudden lever operations when the load is hoisted, which may cause the load to waggle and give large impact to the Machine, and thus may damage the crane or trip the Machine.
When the boom is lowered, the working radius increases,
and the rated total load that can be hoisted decreases. When working while raising/lowering the boom,
pay extra
attention so that the mass of the load at the time the boom is most lowered does not cause overloading.
• Pulling
of the load laterally by raising/lowering, and/or
extracting/retracting the boom is prohibited. Do not attempt to do the above under any circumstances.
• When telescoping the boom, be cautious while checking the winding of the hook block.
• When the boom is extended, the working radius increases,
and the rated total load that can be hoisted decreases. When
working while extending/retracting the boom, pay
extra attention so that the mass of the load at the time the
boom is most lowered does not cause overloading.
CAUTIONS DURING SLEWING OPERATION
• Check the safety in the vicinity and honk the horn before slewing.
• Perform the slewing lever operation as slowly as possible. Make
sure to start smoothly, slew at low speed, and stop
quietly. Especially avoid sudden lever operations when the load is hoisted, which may cause the load to waggle and cause the Machine to lose balance, and thus may damage the crane or trip the Machine.
• Attempts to pull the load towards the machine or let the load stand up by slewing operation are strictly prohibited. Do not attempt to do the above under any circumstances.
• Be careful to prevent the wire rope and/or hoisted load from contacting an obstacle such as a tree or steel when hoisting a load or slewing.
If caught by an obstacle, do not forcibly wind up the hoist
load, but untangle the caught part before winding up.
COOPERATION HOISTING IS PROHIBITED AS A GENERAL RULE
Cooperative hoisting, where two or more cranes are used to hoist a single load, is prohibited as
a general rule. Cooperative hoisting is a highly dangerous operation that may invite tumbling of the Machine due to deviated center of gravity, fall of hoisted load and damage of the boom.
If cooperation hoisting is required for unavoidable reasons, discuss and establish a work
scheme under the responsibility of the user, let the worker fully acknowledge the work method and procedures, and only proceed under the direct leadership of the work supervisor. Also, observe the following cautions:
• Use the cranes of same model.
• Choose the Machine model that can handle sufficiently larger load than the load to be hoisted.
• Make sure only one person gives signals.
Limit the crane operations to single operations as a rule, and do not attempt any slewing
operation.
• Appoint one responsible sling operator who is most experienced.
36
CAUTIONS FOR WORK AT WORKPLACE WHERE LIFT BELOW GROUND LEVEL IS PERFORMED
• When lowering a wire rope in work underground, leave at least three loops of wire rope on the winch drum.
• Make sure to give signals.
• Perform crane operation with extra care.
CAUTIONS ON TAVELING WITH HOISTED LOAD
Hoisted load traveling operation is in principle forbidden, because it is extremely unstable and
dangerous. When inevitably performing a traveling with a hoisted load, observe the following. Negligence of the precautions may cause serious bodily accident.
• Strictly observe the precautions described in the instruction manual.
Refer to the descriptions under "OPERATION 3.24.1
PRECAUTIONS IN OPERATION
DURING TRAVELLING HOIST ".
• Carefully observe the precautions on the operation details for the working posture prescribed in the instruction manual.
Refer to the descriptions under "OPERATION 3.24.2
OPERATION POSTURE DURING
TRAVELLING HOIST ".
• As to the hoisted load, limit its weight within an allowance and assure its clearance above
ground.
• For a traveling operation, appoint marshallers.
• Remove any obstacle on the operation path and allow no operator to trespass the path.
• Operating for a distance exceeding the specified boom length is prohibited.
• Since the rated total load refers to the maximum value, suppress the load to a safe level in
accordance with operating situation.
• To perform a traveling operation with a hoisted load, keep the engine revolution to an idling
low speed so that the load will not swing and set the traveling speed to the low mode (1st speed) to run slowly. Refrain from suddenly starting or stopping, or shifting to a high-speed mode (2nd speed).
• During traveling with a hoisted load, do not shift the vehicle running speed mode or perform
crane operation.
37
3. TRANSPORT PRECAUTIONS
CAUTIONS DURING TRANSPORT
When transporting the Machine, there is a risk of inviting a serious bodily accident incurred by
an accident during transportation. Strictly observe the following when transporting the Machine.
• Depending on the type of crane installed, the mass, height and total length of the machine
are varied, and thus check these details.
When traveling on a bridge or passing over a structure, check in advance the bridge and
viaduct to ensure that they can withstand the mass of the trailer and the machine, and firm up the transportation route.
• When traveling on a public road, notify the competent authority to receive permission for the
transportation.
• The Machine may require disassembled transportation in accordanc
e with related
regulations (such as the enforcement ordinance of the Road Traffic Act). Contact us or our
sales service agency when conducting the transportation.
CAUTIONS WHEN LOADING OR UNLOADING
Pay particular attention to the loading or unloading operation of the Machine, which may invite such an accident as
tumbling or falling of it.
When conducting a loading or unloading of the Machine,
strictly observe the following precautions:
• Select an area with horizontal and solid ground for setting the Machine. In
addition, keep enough distance from the
roadside.
• Use the ramps under 15° or smaller angle. In addition, decide the clearance between ramps to meet the center of the crawler.
Use the ramps that have fully strong width, length and
thickness, and that enable safe loading/unloading.
Reinforce with blocks or other substances if the ramps
deflect much.
• Remove the mud and other substances from the footing to prevent the Machine from skidding over the ramps. Remove the substances stuck on the ramps such as grease, oil or ice, and keep clean.
Be especially careful on the rainy days when slips may
easily occur.
• Be sure to set the switch of automatic deceleration to OFF
(cancel).Turning the automatic deceleration switch ON
rapidly levy up the engine revolution, resulting in a sudden start of acceleration, and thus it is very dangerous.
• When loading or unloading the Machine, be sure to set the Machine to a traveling posture and fix the hook block to the Machine body by using wire ropes.
Refer to the descriptions under "OPERATION 3.7
MACHINE TRAVELLING POSTURE ".
• When loading or unloading, set the engine rotation to low idling (low speed rotation) and operate slowly by low speed travels.
• Always move backward when loading the Machine. Moving forward may cause the machine to fall.
Do not operate any other lever than traveling levers
(forward/reverse traveling) on the ramp boards.
• Never change direction on the ramp. Temporarily leave the ramp before correcting the direction.
38
CAUTIONS WHEN LOADING OR UNLOADING (CONTINUED)
• Across the border of ramp and loading deck, the center of
gravity of the Machine rapidly moves and thus the Machine
becomes unstable. Accordingly, pass the border
particularly slowly.
• When unloading the Machine and placing the load onto an
earth fill or platform, secure sufficient width, strength and
inclination of the ground or the platform.
Set the Machine to a traveling posture and be slow when operating to change the direction on the trailer platform
where the footing is unstable.
• After loading the Machine, be sure to lock the cabin door. Otherwise, the door may flung open during transportation.
After loading the Machine, apply the wood blocks so that
the Machine does not move, and securely fix with wire ropes or other means.
Refer to the descriptions under "OPERATION 5.1
LOADING/UNLOADING".
Refer to the descriptions under "OPERATION 5.3
CAUTIONS DURING TRANSPORTATION."
39
4. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
4.1 PRECAUTIONS BEFORE MAINTENANCE
PUT UP A WARING SIGNBOARD DURING INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE
• When warning sign "DANGER. DO NOT OPERATE!" is put
up, the Machine is being inspected and under maintenance. Do not start the engine and refrain from
touching operating levers. Disregarding the warning sign to
operate the Machine may give rise to the danger of
involving the preparing personnel into the rotating parts or movable parts of the Machine, resulting in serious injury.
Put up additional warning signs around the Machine as
required. Part number of warning signboard: 585-4738300 When this warning signboard is not used, store it in a tool box. If no tool box is available, keep it in a holder for the instruction manual.
TIDY UP WORKPLACE
• Always tidy away tools, hammers and
other things that obstruct the working area; grease
and oil should be wiped off immediately after use to assure safe operations. An untidy workplace may cause safety hazards and result in injuries to personnel.
SELECTING A WORKPLACE
• For inspection and maintenance, select an area with flat and solid ground.
• Select such a place where no risk of landslide, rock fall or flooding is feared.
KEEP AWAY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL
During maintenance servicing of the Machine, never allow any personnel except the required
persons.
Appoint monitoring personnel as required.
FOLLOW SUPERVISOR'S INSTRUCTION DURING TEAMWORK
Appoint a person who supervises the work and follow his/her instructions in case of Machine
repair or installing/uninstalling a work device.
Unexpected accidents due to misunderstood communication between workers may occur during teamwork.
40
KEEP ENGINE STANDING STILL DURING INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Before starting inspection and maintenance servicing, be
sure to retract the crane and stop the engine.
• Turn the starter switch to ON position and move each of the
left and right operating levers back and forth to the full
stroke for 2 to 3 times so that the residual pressure in the
hydraulic circuit is relieved. Set the lock lever (1) to LOCK
position (L) to turn the starter switch OFF.
• Check to ensure that the battery relay is turned OFF and main power current is not turned ON.
After turning the starter switch OFF, wait for
approximately 1 minute and push the horn switch. If the horn is not honked, no current is ON.
• Turn the disconnect switch in the battery box OFF to shut off the power supply circuit in order to prevent the system
from unexpectedly activated during inspection and
maintenance servicing.
• Apply pawls to prevent crawler from moving.
WORK BY AT LEAST TWO PERSONS DURING MAINTENANCE WITH ENGINE RUNNING
To prevent accidents, do not attempt maintenance when the
engine is running. Always observe the following in case of maintaining with the engine running for unavoidable reason.
• One person should occupy the operating seat to be ready
for stopping at any time, and keep communications each
other.
When working near such rotating parts as fan, belt, and
winch drum, keep the operator's body and any object that can be readily caught away from these parts.
Never allow any object or tool to fall on or insert into the
rotating parts of fan, belt and winch drum. Such an object may hit the rotating part or spring back from it, and thus it is dangerous.
• Do not touch operation levers. If it is unavoidable to use the
operation levers, always give a sign to the other person and let him/her evacuate to a safe place.
• Set the lock lever (1) to the "LOCK" (L) position.
Refer to the descriptions under "MAINTE
NANCE 12.
RELIEVING INTERNAL PRESSURE OF HYDRAULIC
CIRCUIT."
• Do not touch operation levers and pedals. If
it is
unavoidable to use the operation levers and pedals, always give a sign to the other person and let him/her evacuate to
a safe place.
41
USE APPROPRIATE TOOLS
Use proper tools and handle them in correct manners. Using
a damaged or deformed tool and using it for any purpose
other than its intended application may giving rise to a serious bodily accident.
PRECAUTIONS FOR WORKING AT HIGH ELEVATION
Secure scaffolding by using a workbench with the stairs when working at high elevation.
CAUTIONS WHEN WORKING ON MACHINE
Tidy the footing to avoid falling and always observe the
following precautions during maintenance on the Machine.
• Do not spill oil or grease.
• Always tidy away tools.
• Beware of the footing when walking.
• Remove dirt, oil and grease from the sole of shoes.
• Never jump off. Use
a platform and handrail, and secure
your body in three locations (both feet and one hand, or
both hands and one foot) when climbing up or down the
Machine.
• To prevent oneself from the risk of bodily accidents caused by falling or stumbling due to slipping, never step on a hood or cover.
• When working on the engine hood, use a safety belt.
CAUTIONS WHEN WORKING UNDER THE MACHINE AND CRANE
• For lifting up the Machine, use a hoist or hydraulic jack in good condition and having enough strength to withstand
the weight of components. Note
that the hydraulic jack
should not be used for lifting any part that is damaged, bent or twisted. Further
, the wire rope to be used for hoisting
shall not include broken wires, be reduced in diameter or kinked. Do not use a hook that is bent or damaged.
When unavoidably going under the lifted Machine to perform inspection and maintenance servicing, securely support the Machine by using blocks and stays that are
sturdy enough to withstand the Machine weight. Failure to support the Machine securely may cau
se falling of the
Machine, resulting in a serious bodily accident.
• Do not use concrete blocks for supporting the Machine. A
concrete block may readily be broken even under a light load.
42
CLEAN BEFORE INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE
• Before starting an inspection or maintenance, clean the
Machine and prevent rubbish from entering the Machine and make sure the safety will be ensured during
maintenance.
Attempt to inspect or maintain the Machine still dirty not
only lessens chance of locating faulty part, but may cause rubbish or mud entering your eye, or slipping and tripping that result in injury.
• Always observe the following when washing the vehicle.
• Use antis lip shoes to prevent slips and trips caused by wet foothold.
• Put on protective equipment when using a high pressure steam car washer. Avoid an accident from high pressure
water which causes skin laceration or mud or other
substance to fly to eyes.
Do not directly spray water onto the electrical system
(sensors and connectors (1)). Water
entering the electrical system is dangerous and will cause faulty or improper operations.
43
4.2 PRECAUTIONS DURING MAINTENANCE
CAUTIONS DURING WELDING REPAIR
Conduct welding operation in a location with good facility, and, only authorized personnel are
permitted to be engaged in the welding work.
Unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited since risks such as gas generation, fire and electrical shock are present when welding.
CAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING BATTERY
Before starting inspection of the battery and handling, set the starter switch to OFF position and the disconnecting switch
inside the battery box to OFF position to shut off the power
supply circuit in order to prevent the system from
unexpectedly activat
ed during inspection and maintenance
servicing. Because the battery produces hydrogen gas, sparks around the battery can cause an explosion. Moreover, the battery solution contains diluted sulfuric acid. Wrong handling of it may cause a bodily accident, explosion
and fire, and therefore always observe the following
precautions:
• AVOIDING THE RISK OF BATTERY EXPLOSION
• If the battery fluid level decreases to the LOWER LEVEL or further below, do not use the bat
tery or recharge it.
Otherwise, an explosion may occur.
Never fail to conduct the regular inspection of battery fluid level and refill purified water (such as battery replenisher available on the market) to the UPPER
LEVEL.
• Do not smoke or use fire near the battery.
• During recharging the battery, it generates hydrogen gas that is flammable.
Before recharging it, dismount if from the Machine and
conduct the recharging in a well ventilated place. During the recharging process, remove the battery cap.
• Securely tighten the battery cap afterwards.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF DILUTED SULFURIC ACID
• Always wear protective glasses and rubber gloves before handling the battery.
• I
f the battery fluid enters your eyes, wash immediately
with water and see a doctor as soon as possible.
• If the battery fluid contacted clothing or skin, immediately wash away by huge quantity of water.
DISCONNECT BATTERY TERMINAL
Before starting the repair work of electric system and
performing a welding operation, first turn the starter switch
OFF, wait for about one minute, and then disconnect the
battery terminals to interrupt the flow of electric current.
DANGER OF SPARKING
To prevent sparking, strictly observe the following
precautions:
• Never allow such a metallic object as a tool to come in contact with battery terminals. Do not leave tools or other object around the battery.
• When removing the battery, be sure to discon
nect the
grounding (-) end terminal first. Conversely for mounting it again, first connect the positive (+) end terminal and fix the grounding end (-) terminal finally.
• Fix the battery terminal securely.
• Fix the battery body to the specified position securely.
44
BEWARE OF CHIPS WHEN WORKING WITH HAMMER
Working with a hammer may cause a serious bodily accident
because of springing off of a pin or littering of metallic chips. Strictly observe the following.
• Hitting a pin or the like may give rise to shattering of broken chips to hurt people nearby. Before
starting such a work,
make it sure that no one is staying around you.
Knocking a pin off with a strong force may cause the pin
flying out to hurt a person nearby. Do not allow anyone to stay around.
• When knocking such a hard metallic part as pin or bearing,
there is a risk of causing a serious bodily accident by
flaying objects. Be sure to wear protective equipment such
as goggles, gloves and helmet.
BE CAUTIOUS OF HEATED COOLANT
When checking or discharging the coolant, ensure that the
radiator cap has been cooled down so that it can be touched by bare hand in order to prevent a burn injury because of the spewing hot water or steam. When removing the
cap, first loosen it slowly to relieve
radiator internal pressure, and then take it off.
BEWARE OF OIL AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES
When checking or discharging oil, ensure that the radiator cap and plug have been cooled down so that they can be
touched
by bare hand in order to prevent a burn injury
because of the spewing hot oil or coming in contact with parts heated at high temperatures. When removing cap and plug, first loosen it slowly to relieve radiator internal pressure, and then take it off.
BEWARE OF OIL UNDER HIGH INTERNAL PRESSURE
The hydraulic system is constantly subjected to an internal
pressure. Thus
, when checking or replacing the piping and
hoses, failure to ensuring that the internal pressure of the
circuit has been relieved gives
rise to a serious bodily
accident. Strictly observe the following.
• Never replace piping or hoses while the hydraulic circuit is subjected to an internal pressure. Be
sure to relieve the
pressure of the hydraulic circuit.
Refer to the descriptions under
"MAINTENANCE 12.
RELIEVING INTERNAL PRESSURE OF HYDRAULIC
CIRCUIT."
• If an oil leakage is taking place, the piping, hoses and their periphery are wet. Check to ensure that the piping is free from fissures and the hoses have no cracking or swelling.
Be sure to wear protective equipment such as goggles and gloves during the inspection work.
High pressure oil leaking through a small hole may
puncture the skin or destroy eyesight upon direct contact. If this happens, wash away with flowing clean water and see
the doctor as soon as possible.
45
BEWARE OF FUEL UNDER HIGH INTERNAL PRESSURE
In the engine fuel piping, an internal pressure is generated during engine operation. Before
starting the inspection and maintenance servicing of fuel piping, wait until its internal pressure
is relieved. After stopping the engine, wait for 30 seconds or more before starting the work.
HANDLING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE AND PIPING
If fuel leaks from a hose or piping, there occurs a risk of fire
and malfunction leading to a serious bodily accident. When leakage of oil or fuel is detected at a loosened joint or mounted spot of hoses or piping, immediately stop the work and re-tighten them with a specified tightening torque.
Also, when recognizing a damage or deformation of hoses
and piping, consult with us or our sales service agency. If any of the following conditions is found, replace the faulty parts:
• Damage of a hose or deformation of sleeve
• Scratch or truncation of the covering layer, or exposure of wire reinforcement layer
• Covering layer is partially swollen
• Indication of twist or collapse on a movable part of hose
• Foreign object buried in coating
BEWARE OF HIGH VOLTAGE
During or at immediately after stopping an engine operation,
the inside of engine controller and around the engine fuel
injector are under a high voltage, and thus an electric shock may occur.
Never touch the inside of engine controller and engine fuel
injectors. If there is a need for touching these parts, consult with us or our sales service agency.
BEWARE OF NOISE
Use ear protection or ear plugs during long-term noise exposure, such as engine maintenance servicing. Large noise in the surroundings may cause hearing difficulty or deafness.
WHEN ADJUSTING CRAWLER TENSION, BEWARE OF HIGH PRESSURE GREASE
• The grease inside the crawler adjusting unit is under high pressure.
Conducting the adjustment in an unauthorized procedure may cause the grease discharging plug (1) to jump out,
resulting in a serious bodily accident.
• When loosening the grease discharging plug (1) to loosen the tension of crawler, do not rotate it more
than 1 turn.
Also, loosen the grease discharging plug (1) slowly.
• Do not allow your face, limbs and body to come closer to the grease discharging plug (1).

NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE RECOIL SPRING
Under no circumstances, refrain from disassembling the recoil spring assembly. In the recoil spring assembly that is intended for buffering the idler, a strong spring is installed.
An inadvertent disassembling it causes the spring to jump out, inviting a serious bodily
accident. Contact us or our sales service agency if its disassembling is required.
CAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING ACCUMULATOR / GAS SPRING
• This machine is equipped with an accumulator. After stopping the engine, be sure to set the lock lever to LOCK position (L).
• Since the accumulator and gas spring is encapsulated with high pressure nitrogen gas, an erroneous handling of them may cause an
explosion and subsequent serious bodily
accident. Strictly observe the following.
• Never disassemble them.
• Do not allow fire
to come closer to them or throw them
into fire.
• Do not attempt boring, boring or gas cutting.
• Do not knock them, tumbling them or give impact to them.
• When disposing of them, removal of filled gas is required. Contact us or our sales service agent.
BE CAUTIOUS OF COMPRESSED AIR
When using the compressed air for cleaning, there is a risk of serious bodily accident because
of scattering waste objects.
Be sure to wear goggles, dust mask and gloves.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF AIR-CONDITIONER
• If the refrigerant of air-conditioner get into the eyes, loss of sight may occur and if it comes
into contact with skin, it gives rise to a frostbite. Never loosen parts of the cooling circuit.
• When conducting the maintenance servicing of the air-conditioner, follow the Fluorocarbon Refrigerants Emission Regulating Act.
Users (possessors) of the Machine are obligated to conduct periodic inspections as
stipulated by the Fluorocarbon Refrigerants Emission Regulating Act. Inspect once in three months. Even when the air-
conditioner is not used during off season, the inspection is
required.
Check item
• Abnormal vibration and abnormal operation noise of the compressor
• Oil oozing out on and around the compressor
• Scratches, corrosion, rust and other blemishes on the compressor
• Frosting of air-conditioner heat-exchanger in the cabin.
CAUTIONS WHEN TREATING WASTE
In respect of the environment protection, pay sufficient attention to
the treatment of waste matters.
• Be sure to use drums and tanks to hold the discharged waste
liquid. Never allow waste liquid to flow on the ground, into river, drainage, sea or lake.
Observe the applicable legal regulations and rules when
disposing of this Machine as well as harmful substances such as oil, fuel, solvent, filter or battery.
• When disposing of an air-conditioner, the recovering work must
be consigned to a Class 1 fluorocarbon refrigerants filling and
recovering contractor registered by the competent authorities.
47
SELECTING WINDOW WASHER SOLUTIONS
Use the window washer based on ethyl alcohol. Do not use a washer solution based on methyl alcohol because it may hurt the eyes.
PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF CRITICAL PARTS
• To assure the prolonged and safe use of the Machine, be sure to conduct the periodic replacement of parts that are particularly related to safety such parts as hoses and seat
belts. Materials of these parts tend to change their properties with elapse of service time and will degrade, abrade and show fatigue with repeated services, and thus may cause a serious bodily accident. Also
, it should be noted that their service life can hardly determined by
inspecting their appearance.
Refer to the descriptions under "MAINTENANCE 4.
PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF
CRITICAL PARTS ".
• If any abnormality is observed in a critical part by appearance, replace it even if it has not
reached the time for regular replacement.

[15] WINCH 2 SPEED SELECTOR SWITCH
Perform raising and lowering operation at high speed only under a no load condition and
without hoisting a load.
Raising and lowering operation of a hoisted load at high speed may cause serious
physical injury due to the machine tipping, breakage or dropping of a load.
If the weight of a hoisted load is "0.5t" or more, the speed does not become high even
when the winch 2 speed selector switch is operated.
If the weight of a hoisted load is "0.2
t" or less, it is possible to perform raising and
lowering operation in high, but such operation may cause serious physical injury due to
machine tipping, breakage or dropping of a load. Therefore, avoid such operation as much
as possible.
Use this switch when changing the speed at the time of
raising and lowering operation of the winch.
The lever switch can change the speed between "1st
speed" and "2nd speed".
High speed (2nd speed): Raising and lowering speed is
increased.
Low speed (1st speed): The speed returns to the normal
raising and lowering speed.
Check that when the lever switch is pressed, the monitor
display also changes.
NOTES
When the number of wire falls of the moment limiter is set to
"one fall", the speed does not become high even if this
switch is placed in the "High speed (2nd speed)" position.
The speed is fixed to "Low speed (1st speed)".
83
[16] DISCONNECT SWITCH
CAUTION
Be sure to place this switch in the "ON" position. Use this switch temporarily only in the
case of preventing unexpected startup of electrical equipment during inspection and
maintenance.
Use this switch to turn off the battery power supply to prevent
unexpected startup of electrical equipment during inspection
and maintenance.
OFF: The battery power supply is turned off and no
electricity flows through all the electrical systems.
ON: The battery power supply is connected.
[17] OVERRIDE SWITCH
Override switch has a function to disable the moment limiter.
When this switch is turned ON, the crane does not automatically stop with the moment
limiter and is very dangerous. Any crane operation in such conditions may
result in
dropping of hoisted load, breakage of crane boom, and/or machine tipping, and may cause
a serious accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Use this switch only when the moment limiter, which detects the crane conditions, fails or
a load test of the crane is conducted. Key for the switch must be detached during normal
operations.
In particular, never perform the following uses.
Never wind up the hook when hoisting loads.
Even if the weight of hoisted load exceeds the rated total load, the moment limiter cannot
detect it, and could result in dropping of the hoisted load, boom breakage or machine
tipping due to cutting of the winch wire rope.
After the moment limiter detects that the rated total load is exceeded during crane
operation and automatically stops the operation, do not perform hoisting operation, boom
lowering operation and boom extension operation while the operation stop function is
cancelled by turning this switch to the "ON" position. Such operation may cause boom
breakage and machine tipping.
Use the hook storage switch when storing the hook. If this switch is turned ON to perform
hook hoisting operation, automatic stop is not made in an over winding condition.
84
Use this switch only when the moment limiter fails or a load
test of the crane is conducted.
ON: Insert the key into the switch. Turn the key clockwise
and then return it to the original position. The key
automatically returns to the "OFF" position when you
release your hand.
The operation stop function is cancelled for 10 minutes
after it is turned ON.
OFF: The key can be removed or inserted at this position.
NOTES
You will notice the following when the operation stop
function is cancelled.
• The red lamp of the rotating warning lamp turns on.
• The LED of the switch box lights up.
• The buzzer sounds continuously.
• The icon will be displayed on the monitor.
[Overriding / Turn stater key off to reset]
The above statuses will change as follows 30 seconds
before the operation stop fuction returns from the cancelled
state.
• The LED of the switch box blinks.
• The buzzer additionally emits intermittent sound.
• Another icon will be displayed additionally on the monitor.
[Stop operation / Overriding soon stops]
However, these behaviors are subject to change depending
on the status of the Machine body.
Although the boom lowering and extending operations slow
down when the operation stop fuction is cancelled, this is
normal.
By turning the engine key OFF, the Machine can be
restarted even before 10 minutes have passed.

2.4.2 FUNCTIONS OF MOMENT LIMITER
Do not remove, disassemble, or repair the detector. In
addition, do not reposition the
detector from the original location to another.
When an object hits the detector or damage is found on it, be sure to check the operating
condition of the automatic stop.
If any abnormality is found in the operation condition of automatic stop, be sure to repair
it.
The slewing operation does not stop automatically when the crane is overloaded. When
overloaded, do not perform slewing operation.
When the crane is ap
proximating the stop position during boom operation, be sure to
lower the boom operation speed.
If the boom is at a high operation speed, it may exceed the predetermined stop position
and the machine may tip over causing severe personal injury, which could lead to death
or serious injury.
The moment limiter is a device that is installed to prevent dropping of the suspended load or
breakage or tipping of the machine, which may occur due to overload.
Before starting crane operations, be sure to inspect operation of the moment limiter to make sure
that there is no abnormality.
[1] MECHANISM OF MOMENT LIMITER
The moment limiter knows the current posture by the boom
angle meter and boom length meter and calculates "Rated
total load" in the current condition by further knowing the
number of wire falls (input by a driver).
When the load is hoisted actually at this time, the moment
limiter calculates the "actual load" (hoisted load) according to
the pressure value from the pressure sensor of the derricking
cylinder section. The moment limiter makes comparison and
calculation on "Rated total load" and "Actual load" (hoisted
load) that were calculated in the current figure. Then, it issues
an alarm if the result is as follows: "Actual load / Rated total
load = 90 to 100%".
If the calculation result is "Actual load / Rated total load =
100% or more", the moment limiter issues an alarm and at the
same time automatically stops the boom operation.
The overload stop accuracy satisfies the stop accuracy of the
following formula by slowly lowering the boom.
Stop
accuracy =
A - B
×100+10%
B
Where, A: Total weight of suspended load + hook + hoisting attachment (Slings etc)
B: Rated total load of working radius (actually measured radius) where the boom stopped
due to overload
91
[2] MOMENT LIMITER ABNORMALITY OCCURRENCE MESSAGE DISPLAY
The moment limiter displays a fault code on the top screen of the monitor to notify the driver if an
abnormality occurs in the boom angle meter, boom length meter or pressure sensor, or if wiring is
cut or connectors come off.
If a moment limiter related fault code is displayed on the monitor, immediately stop the use of the
crane.
For the fault code and cause and action for the abnormality, see "OPERATION 2.1.2 [2] LIST OF
ERROR CODES".
2.4.3 MOMENT LIMITER OPERATION AND CANCELING (RECOVERY)
The moment limiter is a device that is provided for measures available for an emergency case. In
actuality, any operations relying on the device will incur danger.
Operate the crane carefully so that it does not stop automatically.
[1] PROHIBITED OPERATIONS AFTER AUTOMATIC STOP
The following crane operation is prohibited after the crane stops automatically due to overload. Disobeying this rule may cause critical danger due to tipping of the machine or breakage of the boom, for example.
Boom lowering operation Boom hoisting operation Boom extending operation
Hook hoisting operation
[2] RECOVERY OPERATION FROM AUTOMATIC STOP
If an automatic stop occurs, you will not be able to clear the stop until you have reduced the load factor to the safety area with a load factor of less than 90% (rotating warning lamp: green). If the moment limiter displays the load factor of 90% or more, be sure to perform crane operations carefully by turning the engine speed to low. Performing crane operations at a high engine speed could cause critical danger; in this case, the hoisted load will waggle resulting in overload, which could lead to tipping of the machine or breakage of the crane, for example.
1. When load factor is "less than 90%"
When the hoisted load is less than 90% of the rated total load,
the green color of the rotating warning lamp which shows a
normal use condition turns on.
2. When load factor is "90% - less than 100%"
When the hoisted load is 90% (prediction alarm) of the rated
total load, the rotating warning lamp changes from the green
color to the yellow color and the alarm sounds to notify the
driver and persons in the surrounding area that the hoisted
load approaches the rated total load.
92
3. When load factor is "100% or more"
If the hoisted load exceeds 90% (prediction alarm) of the
rated total load and the hoisted load becomes 100% or more
of the rated total load by further continuing crane operations,
the rotating warning lamp changes from the yellow color to
the red color, the alarm sounds continuously and subsequent
crane action stops automatically.
Hook hoisting action Boom extending action
Boom lowering action Boom hoisting action
In addition, audible warning "Peep, overload" is issued.
4. RECOVERY OPERATION FROM AUTOMATIC STOP
To perform recovery operation from overload, perform either of the following operations so that the
crane action will be opposite to the one when the crane stopped automatically.
Note that the automatic stop cannot be cleared unless the load factor has first been lowered to the
safety area with a load factor of less than 90% (rotating warning lamp: green).
(1) Perform hook lowering operation to put down the hoisted load.
(2) Perform boom retraction operation.
