At EPSILON Z-cranes with telescopable main boom there are no shackles respectively eyes
to hook on the lifting device. In this case you have to use a hoisting sling for lifting the crane.
At EPSILON L-cranes out of the S-class there are no shackles respectively eyes to hook on
the lifting device. In this case you have to use a hoisting sling for lifting the crane.
You have to take care in following points:
Due to the sharp edge you have to use an edge protection below the main boom to
avoid damaging of the hoisting sling.
The hoisting sling has to be put like a loop around the main boom.

Advice!
The number of mounting bolts and the fastening points can be found in the pertinent
technical data sheets.
It is permitted to combine mounting points BRI-4 and BRI-8 (mounting points I to IV, see illustration 06-1051) which are show in the technical data sheets. This means that it could be
possible to have different constructions of mounting points (connection between crane and
sub frame) for one crane installation.

least three full turns of the thread (3 x thread pitch).
Make sure that the cross beam of the crane base is solidly placed on the sub frame (part 4,
illustration 06-1032). If there is a gap, fill it with steel plates which must be welded to the sub
frame.
In the crane area the sub frame has to be designed in a rigid version and must be connected
to the vehicle frame in a shear resistant way (see chapter 5 Sub frame).

Advice!
The number of mounting bolts and the fastening points can be found in the pertinent
technical data sheets.
Attention!
Always tighten mounting bolts in the diagonal way and the proper torque!
Attention!
Only original PALFINGER bolt connections may be used. These can be bought from
the PALFINGER Equipment Centre.
Attention!
The mounting bolts (part 6, see illustration 06-1032) delivered with the crane were
made of high-strength material and may not be reshaped by either hot or cold methods. Re-cutting of the thread of the mounting bolts is not permitted.

If it is not defined in the installation manual of the truck manufacturer, the screws for the
connecting between chassis and sub frame must be mounted from the internal side of the
chassis frame. The nuts were screwed on from the outside of the chassis frame. The tightening of the connection is done by the nut. The screw head is used only for hold up.
Attention!
Loose, damaged or excessively tightened bolts are susceptible to break under load.
This creates an acute risk of fatality to the operator and others.

2 notches per side for the inspection of the proper assembly of the washer
4 piece lock against rotation for wide and narrow bolt slots
21 / 52
Edition: 08/2012
For the function of the washer plate with lock against rotation it is a requirement that the
washer plate is positioned on the crane base properly. Each washer plate with lock against
rotation can be used for two widths of bolt slots (e.g. the washer for mounting bolt M24 can
be used for a bolt slot with a width of 25 and 31 mm)
The lock against rotation of the washer has to be set with the proper width onto the bolt slot.
The clearance between the washer and the bolt slot has a tolerance of maximal 1,5 mm.
Each washer has for the visual inspection on the bottom side notches (see illustration 066003, position 1). By proper mounting of the washer this notches are in line with the inner
edge of the bolt slot (see illustration 06-1017 and 06-1018)
Attention!
CORRECT
During assembly of the washer plate with lock against rotation always take care that
the washer plate is positioned properly. For incorrect assembly the danger of damaging may occur. This creates an acute risk of fatality to the operator and others.
FALSE
Illustration 06-1017; Correct assembly of the wascher plate with lock against rotation
Illustration 06-1018; False assembly of the wascher plate with lock against rotation
By the use of washer with lock against rotation it is not necessary to weld the
washer towards the crane base after the assembly. Due to the serial coating of the
washer, a painting of the washer after the mounting is also not necessary.
22 / 52
Advice!
The use of old washers (HTR1140, HX 077, HTR1051 and HTR3382) is still permitted
(see point 3.2.5), but the mixing old washers and new washers with lock against rotation on one crane is not permitted.

The washer plates without lock against rotation also have to be used for PALFINGER
st
cranes with an ordering date before 1 of July 2011 (e.g. rebuilding or spare parts). The reason for these is the modified tolerances for the mounting bolt slots at the crane base.
Areas grinded down to bare metal for welding work must be protected against corrosion
again once the welding work is done.

Mounting bush
Washer hardened (HV300)
Mounting bolt
At the BRI-4 installation a hardened washer HV300 (part 2) is used between the nut and the
bush. All components are included in the mounting kit.
This type of installation can be used for all types of loadercranes.
For EPSILON cranes this application is not permitted. For EPSILON cranes you must always use 2 mounting bolts for each mounting slot, this means mounting bushes are permitted for using of 2 mounting bolts for each mounting point.
24 / 52
When positioning the mounting bushes it is necessary to keep a gap of at least 5 mm between the upper edge of the bush and the lower edge of the crane base. This is to ensure
that the crane base is solidly placed on the sub frame.

The required clamping length Y of the screws (see table above) has to be observed. In order to fulfill this requirement, it is allowed to use distance bushes (see illustration 06-7007,
part 3).
As corrosion protection the lower side of the crane base is only primed by EPSILON. Before
mounting of the crane the primer has to be grinded down. Also the mounting area at the
frame has to be free of any coating (steel to steel connection between crane and mounting
frame)
Advice!
Take care in steel to steel connection between crane and mounting frame. If there is
no steel to steel connection a loosening of the mounting screws is possible.

The rear sub frame module must be welded to the crane or the base shear plate in the following areas:
1. Connection combination crane base and the bending area of the sub frame module
with the base shear plate.
2. Connection rear area of the sub frame module with the base shear plate.
3. Connection combination crane base with the sub frame module.
After the middle cross-piece and the base plate of the combination crane base have been
welded to the sub frame module, the opening in this area must be welded closed with a closing plate.

Production and mounting of the front sub frame module (frame end)
A suitable frame end must be prepared in the front area so that the bending forces can be
smoothly transferred to the chassis frame. This is welded at the front to the combination
crane base and the base shear plates.
The frame end must be adapted to the available space in this area. Allowance must be
made for any open space for maintenance work on the transmission or other components. If
there is enough space, the recess (3) in the frame end can be left out.

Beware!
After welding the tube base, the flange plate must be examined for distortion from the
welding without fail; if the tolerances have been exceeded, suitable procedures must
be used to correct the distortion.

Illustration 06-9001; Reduction of the working pressure in dependence of the maximum vertical hook speed or grab
speed for not SH cranes
47 / 52
Edition: 08/2012
After working pressure reduction the body builder must attach new load capacity charts
on the crane and in the operator manual!
Note!
For SH cranes the working pressure for stationary installation must be reduced to 95%
of the maximum working pressure!
Note!
For EPSILON cranes the working pressure for stationary application must always be
reduced to 80 % of the maximum working pressure!
Not all of the EPSILON crane models are suitable for stationary application, therefore
contact EPSILON and clarify this question when planning the use of your crane.
Alternatively to the reduction of the load capacity you can also install an amply dimensioned pressure accumulator at the lifting cylinder.
Warning: The declaration of conformity for the crane must be re-issued by the body
builder.
It needs to be checked if the standard crane base can be used for stationary mounting
(see technical datasheets). If stationary crane mounting is not permissible with the
standard crane base, you can contact PALFINGER. In combination with suitable arrangements (e.g. pipe bracket) it could be possible to realize stationary installation.
Note!
Stationary crane mounting with combination crane base (integral base frame) is not
permitted!
Additionally to the capacity reduction also the slewing movement of the crane should be
diminished in EPSILON cranes. This can be done via pressure accumulator, electronic
damping, brake valve, etc.
The correct classification of lifting class, hoist types and capacity load groups according to
EN12999:2011 or the implementation of suitable measures for impact reduction lie in the responsibility of the body builder. Furthermore the body builder is responsible for the correct
design of the substructure and the crane mounting. In case of any uncertainties, contact the
acceptance authority or PALFINGER.
Warning!
Improper use for other than the intended purposes can cause the crane components
to break.

Installation of PC Cranes
First, the pivotal point or the mounting position of the crane on the vehicle must be determined and marked.
Attention!
When selecting the mounting position, make sure that the control station is not in the
vicinity of the vehicle exhaust pipe (emissions).
Remove the mounting, if possible with the sub frame, from the vehicle. Then prepare a
mounting plate with the same size as the crane base. The mounting plate should be made of
steel plate which is at least 20 mm thick.
An appropriate substructure must exist in the chassis area to ensure trouble-free installation
and function. If a suitable substructure is not already in place, a suitable sub frame construction must be prepared (unless the vehicle manufacturer prescribes or recommends other actions).

Installation of PC Cranes
The sub frame can be secured to the vehicle using mounting bolts or other mounting elements.
Beware!
If the sub frame is secured using double mounting brackets, the chassis frame must
be protected from compression (see Chapter6.3.4, Crane Installation / Double Mounting Bolt Installation).
During the assembly of the crane on the mounting plate it is necessary to put 4 distance
washer at the fixing points with a thickness of 3mm and an outer diameter of 50 mm between the crane base and the mounting plate (PALFINGER order number HT9430).
