SERVICE 6.008.2 E rev.:- 1999-06-01
Introduction
Before proceeding to trouble-shooting, the crane

operator and the service staff should familiarize
themselves with the construction and functions of the
crane. It is a bit late in the day to learn how to operate
the crane when it has already broken down.
Begin by learning the hydraulic and electric symbols

used in the circuit diagrams to facilitate tracing the
probable fault in the circuit diagrams, checking the
findings afterwards in the crane proper.
Take care always to have correct circuit diagrams

available on board. If a diagram has gone astray, a
new one can be had from MacGREGOR Cranes.
Proper measuring instruments must always be
available, e.g. pressure gauges and voltmeters.
The trouble-shooting method described here is only

intended as a general guide. Methods and practices
may vary, but the purpose is always the same: to
Hydraulic circuit diagram
find the fault quickly and methodically in order to put
it right.
When a crane function ceases to operate properly, it

generally does so in actual operation. This means
that the crane operator will often be able to give
valuable suggestions, e.g.:
- Did the crane function fail without warning?

- Was the operating speed first reduced, or did Electric circuit diagram
the movement run irregularly?
Electric circuit diagram
- What manoeuvre immediately preceded the
failure? Electric circuit diagram
Begin checking if there are any visible defects.

SERVICE 6.008.2 E rev.:- 1999-06-01
When consulting MacGREGOR Cranes for service Analysis of information collected

or advice, always give the following information at By methodical trouble-shooting, it is often possible to
once: find, at an early stage, the defect producing the faulty
operation, thereby avoiding unnecessary waste of
1. Which crane function has ceased to function? time.
2. Has it failed completely, or in part?
A first check of the crane may be made thus:

- Are there any leakages (jog crane)
- Does the pump follow the control lever
movements?
To summarise, trouble-shooting operations should

prefarably be carried out in the following manner:
By studing the symptoms of the crane and its

equipment, it is possible to deduce:
1. Is the fault electrical, hydraulic, or mechanical in

nature?
2. In which function does the fault appear:

- Hoisting circuit
- Luffing circuit
- Slewing circuit
3. Is the trouble limited to:

- Raising or lowering of the load
- Raising or lowering of the jib
- Slewing right or left
4. Special observations:
- Is the hoisting, luffing, or slewing capacity
restricted?
- Do disturbances occur only at certain speeds?
- In the event of abnormal noise:
- To which of the main functions does the noise
pertain?
- Is the frequency of the noise high or low?
- Try to describe the noise (hissing, blowing,
humming, rasping etc.)
These questions are always to be answered when

consulting MacGREGOR Cranes.

Measures Before Starting, During and After Completed

Service/Maintenance Work
WARNING !
When it is necessary to search for/or correct faults
in the crane's electrical, hydraulic or mechanical
systems with the crane powered up, only author-
ized personnel may carry out such work.
The following measures must be taken before any

service or maintenance work is started.
1. The jib must be secured preferably in the park-

ing support, (see separate instruction).
2. All lifting equipment must be parked/secured.
3. All power supplies to the crane must be cut.
A. Cut the main power supply to the crane and

all separate supplies such as heating, light-
ing etc., with the power switch(es) in the
ship’s engine room.
B. Warning signs must be hung on the switches

involved.
4. Make sure that the crane is completely without

power. If necessary, lock switches, take out fuses
etc. so nobody by mistake can start the crane.
5. When special work has to be done see separate

instruction or contact our service department.
6. If some special arrangements are done for test-

ing during the service, these arrangements have
to be removed after completed service.
7. Function test safety items i.e. limits, brakes etc.

after completed work.
8. Protections i.e. covers, rails etc. to be reinstalled

after completed work.

Handling, Installation and Maintenance

of Steel Wire Ropes

SERVICE 6.222.1 E rev.:a 1998-04-17
Unloading steel wire ropes It is advisable to lift a reel by means of a shaft which
is put through its axis bore.
When handling a steel wire rope, the first trouble
often occurs immediately upon receiving it: the fork
of the fork lift truck is either placed under the reel
or inside the coil.
If the fork of the fork lift truck is longer than the

width of the reel, the reel can also be lifted at the
flanges.
In both cases it might damage the surface of the

rope. The damage may not be discovered until much
later and it could happen that the manufacturer of
the wire rope is held responsible.
If possible, the rope, when recieved on cils or reels,

should not have any contact with a metal hook or
the fork of a fork lift truck.
Instead, it should be lifted by means of a wide tex-

fabric covers readily available from tarpaulin manu-
factures.
When storing a number of spare ropes, the follow-

ing rule should be applied: first in - first out. This
means, the ropes should be used in the order of
delivery. In this way it can be avoided that certain
ropes are only put in service after being stored for
many years.
It is self-evident that the different ropes in stock must

be clearly marked to avoid the possibility of
confusion (e.g. if similar ropes of diffferent tensile
strength are stored).
In addition proper records have to be kept which

make it possible to trace the "history" of any rope
back to the manufacturer on the basis of storing
number, specification, date of order and date of
delivery.
Installing steel wire ropes
When installing steel wire ropes, extra care must

be taken that the ropes are unwound from the ring Rolling the wire rope along the floor, as is some-
or reel without torsions and without any outer dam- times recommended in the relevant literature, does
age. The same applies to reeving the ropes into not work very well in practice because the reel al-
the system. ways unwinds less wire than the distance the reel
travels, so that with this method the rope has to be
dragged along the worker.
Unwinding steel wire ropes from the coil
If a rope is delivered on a coil, it is either unwound

on a turntable or the coil is rolled along the ground
like a hoop. In the latter case ensure that the sur-
face is clean; sand or grit that sticks to the lubricant
might damage the wires when the rope travels or

The most common rope fittings for deck cranes are

expenditure) guarentees the least risk of torsions
and avoids damage to the rope by contact with parts
of the construction.
With some cranes it may be advisable to discard

the old rope first and to install the new one after-
wards. With other cranes, particularly with bigger
ones, it might be better to pull in the new rope at-
tached to the old one. Another possibility is to use
a thinner rope by which the wire rope proper is pulled
into the system. This method is often used with new
equipment.
In every single case careful consideration is ne-

cessary as to whether the wire rope should be pulled
through the whole reeving system or whether it
should first be wound from the coil or reel onto the
drum and afterwards be reeved into the system.

Installing under load
To achieve perfect spooling of the rope on the drum

it is very important to apply a tensioning load to the
wire ropes during the installation.
This is particularly important with drums spooling

in two or more layers, which, however, is not very
common with deck cranes. If the first layer(s) are
not under tension, they might be too loose, so that
the top layers might be wedged into the bottom lay-

Cutting or shifting steel wire ropes
Very often wire ropes must be discarded although

only short rope sections, e. g. the one that climbs
to the second layer on the drum, are seriously dam-
aged, while the rest of the rope is still in perfect
condition.
In cases such as this the service life of wire ropes

can be enormously increased by shortening, shift-
ing them at the fixing point by a span that removes
the section of the rope which has had most abuse
out of the critical zone.
After this procedure an adjacent section will be sub-

jected to the abuse.
Another typical local damage occurs on the drum

at those sections where the rope rubs against the
adjacent winding (crossover point) and must be
deflected to the side. If the damage caused in these
sections is the main reason for discarding the rope,
several cuttings or shiftings will move the stresses
to different rope zones and possibly multiply the
service life of the rope.

Examples of damage to steel wire ropes
The following pages illustrate some typical exam-

ples of damage to steel wire ropes which should
always decree immediate rejection of the rope.
Surfacelayer wires frayed by abrasion; wire ropes

has been running over sharp edges under load.
Localized wear caused by chafing against adjacent
steel structures possibly because of vibrations of

the length of wire rope laying between drum and
sheave.
Heavy wear caused by high contact pressure in

sheave groove.
Severe corrosion.
Typical wire rupture caused by bending fatigue.
Typical example of localized wear and indentation
caused by a kink in the rope.

Nonrotating multi-strand wire rope with outer strand
partially disengaged because of nonuniform tor-

sional stress.
High shock loads have caused outer layer to split

open exposing steel wire rope core between strands
that have come apart.

Lifting Block/Beam
Warning!
Where equipment has swivelling and moving parts
there are potential safety hazards. Care should be
taken when working with or repairing such equip-
ment. If used incorrectly breakage could occur in-
flicting injury or death.
General Safety
When equipment is in use, do not put hands:
1. Between sheaves, sideplates and guards.

2. In area of becket, hook, hooknut and crosshead.
Fig. 1. Lifting block for crane type GL.
Take great care to avoid clothing becoming trapped.
Repair and reeving should be carried out by trained

personnel only. Power should be switched off before
operations are carried out. Work should only take
place when equipment is supported on a firm surface..
Maintenance and Service
Inspection should be carried out, on every occasion

before taking into operation. Fig. 2. Lifting block for crane type K.
Particular attention should be paid to the following:

1. Wear in hook, centre pin, becket and threads in
hook and nut.
2. Play in sheave bushes or bearings.
3. Spacer bolts, nuts and lynch pins.
4. Check for cracks in welds.
5. Condition of safety catch and grease nipples.
6. Wear to holes in sideplates and becket.
If cracks or heavy gouges appear, the equipment

should not be used and qualified opinion should be
sought. If grooved and the section reduced by more
than 5% the item should be replaced.

Important:
When replacing genuine parts an overload test of the
complete unit must be performed and new certificate
must be issued.
Lubrication
As a general rule sheaves, crossheads and bodies

should be oiled through nipples every 100 working
hours, see also separate lubrication chart.
Limitation of use
1. Safe working load should never be exceeded.

Fig. 4. Lifting eye.
2. Crane blocks should be used in vertical lift only.
3. Rigging blocks should be used only as in design
specifications.
Blocks should not be used for towing, unless spe-
cifically designed and marked for that purpose.
4. Swivels should be used in either the vertical or hori-
zontal plane only.
5. Horizontal and vertical lead sheaves should only
be used as indicated in the description.
6. Shock or side loading should not be applied, un-
less equipment is desigend for that purpose.

Following information is necessary in order to give a

correct statement and allow further advice:
1. Used grease (manufacturer and type).

2. Lubrication intervals.
3. Running hours.
4. Information where the samples are taken.
The correct procedure for grease sampling is very

important.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
- The grease sample can be taken either at the inner
or outer seal of the bearing.
- One sample should be taken in the area under jib
and one sample 180° in opposite direction.
- Clean the outer or inner seal close to the next
grease nipple. When cleaning the area of the seal,
prevent the cleaner from contacting the seals or
from entering the raceway's system.
- Push new grease into the grease nipples / bearing
without rotation and collect the first used grease
which will come out at the seal.
Attention: Do not take fresh grease for analyzing!

The required quantity of grease for analyzing is
approx. 2 cm3.

HYDRAULIC HOSES
MacGREGOR Cranes
Quality and Manufacturing Demands - Hydraulic Hoses
MacGREGOR Cranes are certified holders according to ISO 9001, and therefore the
hydraulic hoses with couplings supplied by us must have type approval on all ma-
terial.
Standard rubber hose for our 1" high pressure hoses are made for a working
pressure of 380 bar.
The hoses are pressure-proof tested according to the DIN norms.
100% of the high pressure hoses are proof tested and leakage tested at 450 bar
during minimum 30 seconds and maximum 60 seconds. This pressure corresponds
to 1.3 times the working pressure.
100% of the hoses are marked with MacGREGOR Cranes part numbers, for quick
and correct identification.
100% of all high pressure hoses are, furthermore, marked with manufacturing date.
100% of all hoses are carefully cleaned after testing. They are cleaned by means of
cavitation with a mixture of water and an anti-corrosive agent.
The cleanliness after washing is equal to, or better than, class 9 according to NAS
norm 1638.
Factors Influencing the Lifetime of Hydraulic HOSES

Pressure - temperature - bending radius - damage caused by outside factors.
Sunlight and artificial light are also harmful to hydraulic hoses.
