The information and illustrations contained


in these operating instructions may
not be copied or distributed, nor used
for competitive purposes. All rights are
expressly reserved in accordance with
copyright laws.

All accident prevention guidelines,


operating instructions, etc. are based on
destined use of the crane.

Destined use
The destined use of the crane consists solely
in vertical lifting and lowering of free and non-
adhered loads, whose weight and center of
gravity are known.

To do so, a hook or hook block approved by


SANY must be reeved on the hoist rope and
it may only be operated within the permissible
crane configurations.

Driving with the crane, with or without


an attached load is only permissible if
a corresponding driving or load chart is
available. The crane configurations intended
for it and the safety conditions must be
observed according to the corresponding
operating instructions.

Any other use or any other exceeding


utilization is not destined use.

Part of destined use is also adherence of


required safety regulations, conditions,
preconditions, crane configurations and
working steps as noted in the crane
documentation (operating instructions, load
chart, job planer).

The manufacturer is not liable for damages,


which are caused by non-destined use or
improper use of the crane. Any associated risk
it is carried solely by the owner, the operator
and the user of the crane.

2-6
Safety
SAC2200

Non-destined use
Non -destined use is:
- Working outside the permissible crane
configurations according to the load chart
- Working outside the permissible projection
radii and slewing ranges according to the load
chart
- Selecting load values, which do not
correspond to the actual crane configuration
- Selecting LMB-Codes, which do not match
the actual crane configuration
- Working with bypassed load moment limiter
or bypassed hoist limit switch
- Increasing the projection radius of the lifted
load after a LMB shut off, for example by
diagonally pulling the load
- Using the support pressure display as a
safety function against tipping over
- Using equipment or attachment parts which
are not approved for the crane
- Using the crane at sports and recreational
events, especially for 'Bungee' jumps
- Driving on a public road in non-permissible
driving condition (axle load, dimension)
- Driving with the equipment in place in a non-
permissible driving condition
- Pushing, pulling or lifting loads with the
leveling regulation, the sliding beams or the
support cylinders
- Pushing, pulling or lifting loads by actuating
the slewing gear, the luffing gear or the
telescoping gear
- Ripping stuck objects loose with the crane
- Utilizing the crane for a longer period of time
for material handling tasks
- Releasing the crane suddenly (grapple or
dumping operation)
- Putting the crane into service when the
weight of the load, which is suspended load
on the crane, is changed, for example by filling
a container suspended on the load hook

2-7
Safety
SAC2200

The crane may not be used for:


- attaching a stuck load for which the weight
and center of gravity are not known and which
has been released first, for example with a
cutting torch
- letting persons drive along outside the
driver's cab
- transporting personnel in the crane cab while
driving
- transporting personnel with the lifting
equipment and on the load
- transporting personnel with containers
(cherry pickers), if no written approval of the
corresponding job safety board has been
issued
- transporting loads on the chassis
- two hook operation without auxili a r y
equipment
- extended material handling operation

The operating instructions must be read and


used by all persons who are involved in use,
operation, assembly and maintenance of the

roads with an axle load that exceeds 12 t rest
with the crane operator.
Danger!
Exceeding the axle load and total weight
increases the risk of accident!
Any increase in axle load and total weight
reduces braking performance in direct
proportion to the excess weight.
Brake lining wear is greater and risk of
brake overheating in higher. This condition
exceeds the specifications of the steering
mechanism, operating and parking brakes
and retarder!
It shortens the life of all components
subjected to the increased axle load; e.g.
brakes, tires, rims and axles, as well as
the entire drive, suspension and steering
assemblies.
! Do not exceed the specified axle load or
total weight under any circumstances!

Safety
SAC2200

A hook block may only be transported at the


front if:
- this is permitted by the current driving
condition of the crane
- it has been reeved at least four times
- and lashed using the eye provided on the
front towing coupling

Danger!
Risk of accident if driver's field of vision is
blocked!
! Do not allow the hook block to impair the
driver's field of vision when driving the
crane on public roads!

If a boom nose is attached, it must be moved


from the operating position to the transport
position to prevent field of vision impairment
and must be secured in this position using
bolts and safety springs.

National traffic regulations


Be sure to comply with all valid national traffic
regulations when driving the crane! The cab
may not be occupied by passengers while
driving the crane.

2.2 Crane Break-in Specifications

Caution!
Risk of damaging while driving the crane.
! It is absolutely essential to break-in the
crane!

Do observe the following specifications:


Continuously monitor temperature and oil
pressure indicators while driving!
Stop immediately if there are any fault
indications!
Perform the following maintenance after the
first 50 km and 100 km:
- Do not over-torque the wheel nuts (maximum
permissible torque = 600 Nm). Make sure that
wheel nuts are tight.

2-11
Safety
SAC2200

- Check engine water and oil levels.


- Check automatic or manual transmission and
load transmission oil levels.
- Visually inspect engine, gearbox and axles
for any leakage or loose components.
- Check that drive shaft is properly seated.
- Check that there are no other loose carriage
components.
- Visually inspect tire condition and inflation.

Breaking in the brake linings


To achieve optimum braking performance,
all new brake linings must be broken in by
activating the brakes.

Danger!
Risk of accident!
The risk of accident increases when new
brake linings are subjected to one or more
braking operations over extended periods
of time or if the vehicle is forced to a stop
by hard braking from maximum speed
several times.

! Hard braking and continuous braking are not


permitted!
Activate the brakes by pumping them at low to
medium speed.
Hard braking is not permitted.In general,
the break-in distance depends on the type
of vehicle, but a minimum of 500 km is
recommended.
During this phase, the maximum brake drum
or brake disk temperature may not exceed 200
°C.
The temperature rise resulting from each
individual braking action should not exceed
15% of maximum.

2.3 Planning Crane Operation

In addition to a perfectly working crane and a


well-trained crew, crane operation planning is
an important principle of safe crane operation.

Danger!
Missing information increases the risk of
accidents!
Crane operation may not be possible or
improvisation can result if a crane operator
does not have all the required data.
! A crane operator must have exact data
before starting any work!

The crane operator must obtain or receive


the necessary information in a timely fashion
before driving to the work site. In particular:
- type of crane operation
- work site evironment;
- work site (travel distance);
- route;
- height and width clearance measurements;
- electrical transmission lines (including
voltages);
- space restrictions at the work site;
- movement restrictions caused by buildings;
- weight and dimensions of the load(s) to be
hoisted;
- required hoisting height and boom projection;
- ground bearing capacity at the work site.
Based on the above information, the crane
operator must assemble the equipment
required to operate the crane:
- hook block / load hook
- Jib
- separate lifting accessories
- counterweight
- underlay materials for support pads

2.4 Safety-Technical Regulation

2.4.1 Requirements of the crane


operator

The crane operator's primary responsibility is


to use and operate the crane in a manner that
is safe for both himself and others.
The following important safety guidelines will
help you achieve this. Many crane accidents
are caused by incorrect crane operation.

Danger!
Danger due to incorrect crane operation!
! In the interest of both yourself and others,
make sure you understand how your crane
operates and familiarize yourself with all
the risks associated with the work to be
done.

The main operating errors, which are made


again and again while operating or driving a
crane, are as follows:
— Not paying careful attention while working,
for example:
— slewing too quickly
— quick braking of the load
— diagonal pulling
— loose cable formations;
— overloading
— driving too fast with a load, or setting up
and loading on an uneven surface
—attaching the load incorrectly
unsuitable operation; especially diagonal
pulling, breaking away stuck loads
problems when driving on a road without
a load, for example overload of engine or
transmission
crashing into bridges, roofs or high voltage
wiring due to insufficient vertical clearance
inadequate support; support base, support
under the support pads
incorrect assembly or disassembly of booms.

2-14
Safety
SAC2200

Many crane damages are caused by improper


maintenance:
— insufficient oil, grease or antifreeze
— contamination
— broken cable wires, defective tires, worn
parts
— emergency limit switches or load torque
limiter (LMB) not operating properly
— brake and clutch failure
— hydraulic defects; for example cracked
hoses
— loose bolts

Personal protective devices

Danger!
Increased danger of accidents!
If protective devices are not worn, the
crane operator or the auxiliary personnel
can be killed or severely injured!

2.4.5 Selecting the location

It is very important to choose an appropriate


location for crane operation in order to
minimize safety risks.

Risk of accidents due to ground with
insufficient load bearing capacity!
If the crane is supported on ground with
insufficient load bearing capacity, then it
can topple over and kill personnel!
• Only support or drive the crane on ground
with the required load-bearing capacity!
• Act responsibly when planning and
selecting the crane location and route. If
necessary, consult an authorized inspector.
• Note the following points!

When selecting the location for the crane,


observe the following:
1.) Select the placement location in such a
way that crane movements can be carried
out without collision, and that the outrigger
supports can be extended to the support base
stipulated in the load charts.
Make sure that no personnel is injured or
killed!
Always keep a safety distance of 0.5 m. If this
is not possible, secure the danger zone.
2.) Support the crane correctly and support
the support pads according to the load bearing
capacity of the ground on the placement
location.
3.) Keep a safety distance to basements or
similar.
4.) Keep a safety distance to slopes or
embankments or similar.
5.) Keep the radius to a minimum. Never
utilize the crane 100%.
6.) Select the correct boom length to the load

10.) Select tackle according to the weight of


the load, the type of attachment and the incline
angle.
11.) Keep sufficient distance to electrical
overhead wiring.

2.4.6 Slopes and ditches


The crane may not be set up too close to
slopes or ditches. Depending on the type of
ground, ensure an adequate safety clearance
A and safety clearance B as well as a
corresponding load entry angle α and slope
angle β.


DANGER
Crane can topple over!
The edge of the slope or excavation can
break in if safety distance A or safety
distance B is too small.
If the edge of the slope or excavation
breaks in, the crane can topple over and
kill personnel!
• An authorized and trained specialist
should perform calculations to verify the
load bearing capacity of the ground!
• Safety distance A and safety distance B
should be calculated by an authorized and
trained specialist!
• Always maintain the calculated safety
distance A and safety distance B!
• Support the sides of the slope or ditch!

2.4.7 Permissible ground pressure

When the crane is supported, the support


cylinders transmit significant forces to the
ground. In certain cases, a single support
cylinder has to transmit almost the entire
weight of the crane, plus the load weight, to
the ground.
The ground must be able to safely absorb this
pressure every time. If the support pad area
is inadequate, then it must be supported from
below according to the load bearing capacity
of the ground.
The required support area can be calculated
from the load bearing capacity of the ground
and the crane support force.

Notice!
! Consider that the support force, due to
the counterweight, can be higher without a
load than with a load.

Caution!
The crane may tip if incorrectly supported
from below!
Only strong materials may be used for the
support pad bases; for example properly
dimensioned wooden timbers.
In order to ensure that pressure is evenly
distributed over the base surface, the
support pads must be positioned in the
center of the support base.

If there is any doubt about the


load bearing capacity of the ground at the
placement site, soil tests should be carried
out, for example with a penetrometer.

Example: Calculation of specific support pressure


Maximum support force according to chapter 1.03: 720 kN 720000N
Surface of square support pad with 550 mm side length according to
3025cm2

The value of the specific support pressure is


far above the permissible ground pressure for
all types of granular soil. If this crane is utilized
on bedrock, type of ground gravel, permissible
ground pressure 20 N/cm2 , then the support
surface must be increased.

Example: Calculation of required support surface

Required support surface: 36000cm2=3.6m2

The surface of the support for each support


pad must be at least 3.6 m2 .

Note!
• The corresponding support forces can be
determined with the crane job planer.

2-33
Safety
SAC2200

2.4.8 Supporting

It is absolutely essential that the crane be


supported exactly in accordance with the load
charts to ensure safe operation.
The match of the sliding beams placement
surfaces must be observed to ensure proper
force transfer between the sliding beams.
The crane may only be supported in these
extension conditions.

Danger!
Risk of toppling the crane!
Intermediate positions of the specified
support widths may not be carried out,
because the force transfer is only possible
via the side placement surfaces and in
intermediate positions, due to the lack of
placement surfaces, an incorrect force
transmission can occur on the upper
chord.
! Pin the sliding beams to prevent
subsequent movement of the placement
surfaces.
! The pins must be completely inserted and
secured!
All 4 sliding beams and support cylinders must
be extended according to the data in the load
chart, also those on the counterweight side.
If only the load side sliding beams are
extended, the crane can tip over when turning
or setting down the load.

Danger!
Incorrectly extending the sliding beams
increases the risk of tipping the crane!

1.The load suspended on the hook causes


tension and deformation of the hoist rope and
telescopic boom, the same applies to lattice
jibs and guy ropes. If the load is dropped from
the tackle cables or if the tackle or hoist rope
breaks in this situation, a sudden relief occurs.
The boom snaps back quickly. This can cause
the crane to topple over.

2-34
Safety
SAC2200

2-35
Safety
SAC2200

2. Despite previous assumption, it might


become necessary to swing the load to the
opposite side. This can cause the crane to
topple over.
3. When turning from the vehicle longitudinal
direction, the crane can topple over due to the
boom or counterweight momentum.
4. It is imperative that all 4 sliding beams and
support cylinders be extended according to
the data in the load chart!
Aligning the crane
In order to safely operate the crane, it is very
important to level it and install a proper base
for the support pads.

Danger!
The crane may topple if it leans!
If the crane is positioned at an incline, and
if the boom is turned towards the slope,
then the radius is increased as a result. It
is possible that the slewing gear can no
longer hold the crane superstructure and,
in extreme cases, the crane can topple
over.
Be sure to align the crane horizontally!
Example: At a boom length of 50 m, uneven
adjustment of the crane by only 5° will cause
an boom radius of 10 m to be increased by a =
4 m.
Checking safety measures
The crane is correctly supported:
- The placement location has been selected
in such a way that the crane can be operated
with the least possible radius.
- The load bearing capacity of the ground is
adequate.
- There is sufficient distance to ditches and
slopes.
- All four sliding beams and support cylinders
have been extended according to the support
base given in the load chart.
- The sliding beams are secured with pins to
prevent them from moving.
- The support pads are secured.
- The crane is aligned horizontally.

2-36
Safety
SAC2200

2-37
Safety
SAC2200

- The axles are relieved, which means the tires


do not touch the ground.
- It has been ensured that there are no live
electrical wires within the working range of the
crane.
- There are no obstacles which will hinder
required crane movements.
- The axle suspension is locked.

2.4.9 Crane operation with a load


Before beginning any work, the crane operator
must be convinced that the crane is in safe
operating condition. All safety systems, such
as load moment limiter, hoist limit switches,
brakes, etc., are in good working order.
- The load moment limiter must be adjusted
according to the current crane configuration.
- Crane loads may never exceed those
specified in the load charts.
- The loads given in the load chart may not be
exceeded.
- The crane operator must know the weight,
the center of gravity and the dimensions of the
load before operating the crane.
- Load carriers, lifting equipment and tackle
must be in accordance with specified
requirements.
- It must be observed, that the weight of the
hook block and the weight of the tackle must
be subtracted from the load given in the load
chart.

Example:
Maximum permissible load
30,000kg 30,000 kg
according to chart
Weight of the hook block 370 kg -370 kg
Weight of the slinging rope 40 kg -40 kg

Actual useful load of the crane Total = 29,590 kg

In this case, the load to be lifted may not exceed 29,590kg.

2-38
Safety
SAC2200

2.4.9.1 Counterweight

The counterweight required depends on


the weight of the load to be lifted and the boom
radius required to do the work. The deciding
factor for the selection of the counterweight is
the data in the corresponding load chart.

Danger!
Risk of tipping the crane!
It is imperative that the counterweight is
installed according to the load chart!

2.4.9.2 Hoist Gear, Hoist Rope

The lifting capability of the crane is a function


of the power rating of the hoist gear and the
hoist rope reeving possibilities. When working
with a single strand, the crane can only lift as
much of a load as the hoist gear is able to pull.
If the load to be lifted is heavier than the hoist
gear is capable of lifting, the hoist rope must
be configured using block and tackle principles
by appropriate reeving between the pulley
head and the hook block.
When reeving, carefully observe the load chart
specifications and the operating instructions.
Danger!
Risk of accident caused by cable breakage
or damage to the hoist gear box or crane
engine!

2-39
Safety
SAC2200

2.4.9.3 Crane Operation

Danger!
Danger of accidents if the following points
are not observed!
It is imperative to comply with the following
instructions.

Danger exists if:


The load torque limiter is not set to the actual
configuration status of the crane, and as a
result, cannot fulfill its function as a safety
device.

The load torque limiter is defective or put out


of operation.

The sliding arms of the hydraulic supports are


not extended to the points specified in the load
chart.

The support pads are not supported with


stable base material sufficiently large for the
soil conditions.

If the load is pulled at an angle.

It is particularly dangerous when pulling to the


side since the telescopic boom has a lower
torque resistance to the side.

The load may not be pulled at an angle.

An excessive load is attached to the hook


during dismantling work, which then hangs
freely on the crane when it is detached.

If loads which have become stuck are pulled


free with the hook block.

Even if the weight of the load which is stuck is


no greater than the permissible lifting load, the
crane may topple over backwards if the load
is suddenly freed since the tension created in
the boom can cause it to jerk back violently.

2-40
Safety
SAC2200

Work is carried out in strong winds. Refer to


the data given in the load chart.

The crane is not aligned horizontally and the


load is slewed toward the slope.

The hook load begins swinging because the


crane operator has not properly controlled the
movements.

The loads and radii contained in the load


charts are exceeded.

When working in the vicinity of power cables,


these are not isolated by electricity engineers
or if the hazardous area is not covered of fenced
off.

If it is not possible to take such measures, a


sufficient safety clearance must be maintained:

Minimum distance
Rated voltage
[m] [ft]
<1 kV(1000 V) 1 3
1k V - 110 kV 3 9
110 kV - 220 kV 4 13
220 kV - 380 kV 5 16
If rated voltage is unknown 5 16

Warning!
If, despite all precautions having been
taken, a flashover occurs, carry out the
following procedure:
-Keep calm!
-Do not leave the crane cab.
-Warn those around the crane not to move
and not to touch the crane.
-Move the crane away from the danger
area.

2.4.10 Grounding the crane

Danger!
Danger of fatal injury due to electrical
shock!
There is a risk of electrical shock, if the
crane is not properly grounded.
Properly ground the crane!
The crane must be grounded before operation:
- near transmitters (radio and TV transmitters,
radio stations, etc. )
- near high frequency switching stations
- in case of severe possibility of thunderstorms
or potential thunderstorms
The crane can become electrostatically
charged especially if the crane is equipped
with synthetic support pads or if the support
pads are placed on insulating materials (such
as wooden planks).

2.4.11 Safety instructions for external


power supply (230 V AC)

A potential hazard exists when supplying a


crane with external power from a low voltage
distribution system (230 V AC).
In particular, the following conditions pose
an electrical hazard: touching a crane with
open grounds(caused by the mechanical
stress on flexible supply cables or the service
connection), loose terminal connections,
high wire or contact resistance, mixed up
conductors, defective or missing protective
equipment (fault interrupters) in combination
with a body contact on the crane.

DANGER
Danger of fatal injury if the body conducts
current!
Water and/or defective devices can cause
hazardous stray voltages when touched.
Subject to lethal currents.
•The external supply cable must be in good
working order!

Make sure that the external flexible supply line


is in good working order.
Where applicable, we recommend the use of
an isolation transformer.

DANGER
Risk of electric shock!
•To check the protective measures and
to decide if the crane can be supplied
with power form the general distribution
network, always use a qualified electricians
with the appropriate measuring equipment
in accordance with VDE.

2.4.12 Endangering air traffic

When working with crane, heights are reached


which could endanger air traffic. This applies
especially to areas near airports.


DANGER
Endangering air traffic!
If no protective measures are taken, this
can result in endangerment to air traffic!
• Get the approval from agency responsible
for air traffic!
• Install the airplane warning light on the
boom head and turn it on!

2.4.13 Joint lifting of a load by


numerous cranes

If a load is to be lifted by means of several


cranes, the procedure must be previously
determined by means of the contractor or his
representatives, and must be carried out in
the presence of a supervisor nominated by the
contractor.
Proceed with particular care in the following
cases:
- The part to be lifted has an uneven structure
or the centre of gravity is unknown. Eventually,
only use 75% of the permissible load!
- Dynamic influences are to be taken into
account when the load is freed.
- The cranes have differing load-bearing
capacities

Note!
•In th e even t of di ffe ring loa d-b e a r i n g
capacities of the cranes, attach the loads in
such a way as each crane is only loaded with
its own permissible load-bearing capacity.


DANGER
High risk of accident during dual-lifting!
When lifting or lowering the load, the
individual cranes can be overloaded and
topple over!
Personnel can be killed or seriously
injured!
• Only load the individual cranes with their
individually permissible load capacities!
• Diagonal pull is not permitted!

2-49
Safety
SAC2200

2.4.14 Working in the vicinity of


transmitters

Strong electromagnetic fields are likely to be


present if the construction site is close to a
transmitter.
These electromagnetic fields can pose direct
or indirect danger to persons or objects, for
example:
- Effect on human organs due to temperature
increase.
- Danger of burns or inflammation due to
temperature increase.
- Spark or electric arc formation.

Danger!
Risk due to electromagnetic fields!
Before operating a crane in the vicinity of
transmitters, be sure to consult with SANY!
Also consult a high frequency specialist!

High frequency (HF) radiation from a


transmitter demands supplementary work
safety procedures and UVV regulation for
crane operators:

Every crane must be “totally” grounded. Check


visually or with a simple tester to ensure that
ladder, cab and cable pulleys are grounded.
All personnel working on the crane or with
large metal objects must protect themselves
from burns by wearing non-conductive
synthetic gloves and suitable clothing while
working.

There is no need to panic if you feel your hand


warm up. Always work under the assumption
that the respective workpiece, structural steel
member or support is “hot”.

2-50
Safety
SAC2200

2-51
Safety
SAC2200

The temperature of objects affected by high


frequency radiation depends on their “size”.
Cranes, carriers and coverings, for example,
are “hotter”.

Contact with other crane loads is not permitted


when operating the crane (arcing). Since
defects caused by burns considerably reduce
cable carrying capacity, any such occurrences
must be reported immediately to the
machinery supervisor so that the cables can
be inspected.

An insulator 1 is required at all times between


the crane load hook and tackle. It is strictly
prohibited to remove this insulator 1.

Do not touch the cables above the insulator 1.


Loads that are attached to the crane may
not be touched by any unprotected parts of
the body after the load has been lifted or set
down.

Do not work with a bare upper torso or in short


pants, this is prohibited.

To minimize absorption of high-frequency


radiation, larger loads should be transported
horizontally if possible.

Loads must be grounded, or additional


insulation used (rubber material between
the object and gloves) when manual work is
required.

Use a suitable measuring instrument to check


the “temperature” of the object. If, for example
500 V can be measured on a tool at a distance
of 1 cm to - 2 cm, then the tool may not be
touched with bare hands.

2-52
Safety
SAC2200

2-53
Safety
SAC2200

The greater the distance, the higher is the


voltage on the object: at a distance of 10 cm,
the voltage is approx. 600 V, at a distance of
30 cm, the voltage is approx.2000 V.

To avoid secondary accidents, use a safety


belt when working on structures that are high
off the ground.

Handling explosive matter (such as refuelling)


may only be done at least 6 m away from the
place where sparks could form due to handling
of larger metal parts. Use only conductive
rubber hoses to refuel.

A ny accidents and unexpected eve n t s


must immediately be reported to the local
construction supervisor and the safety
engineer.

Endangering air traffic

When working with crane, heights are reached


which could endanger air traffic. This applies
especially to areas near airports.

2.6.2 Checking before starting to work


with the crane

Before starting work with the crane, the crane


operator must carry out a further inspection to
satisfy himself about the crane's operational
safety:
- Check that the crane is properly supported
and level.
- Check that all values in the load chart that
apply to the current equipment configuration
have been entered and met.
- Ensure that there are no people or objects in
the crane danger zone.

DANGER
Danger of accidents when slewing the
crane from persons or objects in the
danger zone.
This applies particularly in narrow building
site situations, in the rear boom projection
radius of the counterweight and towards
the chassis!
• Give a short warning signal (hooter)
before starting a crane movement!
• Ensure before starting any slewing
movement that there are no people or
objects in the danger zone!

2-68
Safety
SAC2200

2.6.2.1 Visual check for damage

DANGER
Risk of accident!
• In the event of deficiencies that threaten
operational safety, stop crane operations
immediately!

The following deficiencies threaten the crane's


operational safety:
- Damage to load-bearing parts of the crane
design, such as booms, supports etc.
- Failure of the hoist gear brake and
consequent slipping of the load
- Functional failures in the crane control
system
- Functional failures in the control and warning
lights
- Damage to the hoist ropes
- Functional failures in the safety devices
- Leakage in the crane hydraulics
Inform the appropriate supervisor about the
deficiencies on the crane and also inform your
relief when crane operators are changed.

2-69
Safety
SAC2200

2.6.2.2 Telescopic boom distortion because


of sunshine on one side

A temperature difference occurs between


the side facing the sun and the side facing
away from the sun in cranes with telescopic
booms. This causes telescopic boom side
distortion, which can reduce the load-bearing
capacity of the telescopic boom. For example,
a temperature difference between the two
boom sides of 30 °C and a boom length of 60
m results in a length difference caused by the
temperature difference between the two sides
of the telescopic boom of approximately 22
mm. Particularly with narrow boom parts, this
causes the profiles to bend sideways!

If the maximum load is being fully utilized,


particularly when a telescopic boom extension
such as a lattice jib, luffing lattice jib or folding
jib is being used, the equipment must be
visually inspected before picking up the load in
order to ensure that the boom is not showing
signs of side deformation because the sun
shining on one side.

DANGER
Risk of accident because of component
overloading!
If the telescopic boom has become
distorted because of one-sided sunlight,
this can cause component overloading and
therefore accidents!

• Turn crane so that both sides of the boom


are brought to about the same temperature,
therefore preventing side deformation!

2-70
Safety
SAC2200

2.7 Taking on a load

The crane must always be operated in such


a way that its load-bearing parts are not
destroyed and its stability is ensured.

2.7.1 Lifting the load



DANGER

Danger of crushing for people in the load


zone!
• Exercise extreme caution when lifting a
load!

DANGER

Risk of toppling crane!


If an attempt to lift a load above the
hoist gear causes the LICCON overload
protection to switch off, then the load must
not be lifted by raising the boom head. This
leads to overloading and toppling of the
crane!
• Do not lift the load by raising the boom
head from the ground!

2-71
Safety
SAC2200

Note!
When using an auxiliary winch* (installation
or reeving winch), observe the following:
• Only use the auxiliary winch (installation
or reeving winch) for installation and not to
lift loads!
• Lifting of loads with the auxiliary winch is
prohibited!

If the rope is manually attached to the load to


be raised by an assistant:
- Make sure that the assistant's hands are not
crushed between the load and the rope by the
tautly pulled ropes.
- Make sure that the assistant's body parts
(hands, legs etc.) are not crushed by a
pendulum movement of the load during lifting.

2-72
Safety
SAC2200

2.7.2 Diagonal pulling


DANGER
Crane can topple over!
Diagonal pulling can destroy the crane or
cause it to topple over!
• The hook block must always be attached
vertically over the center of gravity of the
load to be lifted!
• Diagonal pulling is not permitted!

The crane is designed only to lift loads


vertically. During diagonal pulling, regardless
of whether this is done in the same direction
as the boom or diagonally, horizontal forces
are generated in addition to the vertical ones,
for which the boom is not designed.

2.7.3 Breaking away fixed loads


DANGER
Crane can topple over!
Ripping stuck loads free can destroy the
crane or cause it to topple over!
• Ripping stuck loads free is prohibited!

2-73
Safety
SAC2200

2.8 Crane Operation

The maximum load-bearing capacity is not just


limited by stability, but in many cases a load-
bearing component breaks when the crane
is overloaded before the crane topples over.
Particularly components that are susceptible to
buckling such as the telescopic boom may fail
suddenly without showing signs of distortion
beforehand if the crane is overloaded.

2.8.1 General

A swaying load must always be kept under


control. A fundamental requirement for this
is the safe and delicate control of the crane's
functions.


DANGER

Risk of accident due to swaying loads!


A swaying load can damage the crane and
cause it to topple!
•All crane movements must be executed
slowly and delicately!
•Initiate all crane movements slowly!
•Apply the brakes slowly in all crane
movements!
•Crane operation with swaying loads is
prohibited!

CAUTION
Risk of damage to the rope pulleys!
• Remove hook blocks, boom, folding jibs,
auxiliary booms and boom noses in such a
way that the rope pulleys do not lie on the
ground!

2-74
Safety
SAC2200

2.8.2 Guiding the load

The use of guide ropes is recommended


to help the crane operator to manage the
load more precisely and to prevent the load
from swaying. This will prevent undesirable
movements of the load and consequent
damage.

2.8.3 Carrying people

The crane is not designed to carry people.

2.8.5 Working in the vicinity of


electricity transmission lines

DANGER
Risk of accident!
Failure to observe the following notes can
lead to damage!
• Note the following points carefully!

2-76
Safety
SAC2200

If there are electricity transmission lines in the


immediate vicinity of the building site, these
must be switched off by qualified electricians.
If this is not possible, the danger area must
be covered over or cordoned off. If even these
measures cannot be carried out, the following
safety distances must be maintained:

Rated voltage Minimum distance


1kV 1m
1kV—110kV 3m
110kV—220kV 4m
220kV—380kV 5m
with unknown power supply voltage 5m

If the crane becomes electrified despite having


taken all necessary precautions, proceed as
follows:
- Remain calm!
- Stay inside the crane driver's cab!
- Warn anyone who is outside and advise
them to remain stationary and not to touch the
crane!
- Move the crane away from the danger zone!

2.8.6 Ram work or pulling sheet piles

Vibration can be transmitted to the supporting


steel structure of the crane during ram work or
when pulling sheet piles with the crane. This
vibration can cause premature fatigue of the
material and therefore cracks in the supporting
steel structure.

DANGER

Important instructions when carrying out
ram work or pulling sheet piles!
If the crane is used for ram work or pulling
sheet piles the following instructions must
be followed.
Failure to follow the instructions can result
in damage to the crane.
• The ramming equipment must not
introduce vibration into the boom!
• When pulling sheet piles the maximum
lifting power of the crane is limited as per
the load chart!
Restricting the maximum lifting power

2.9 Equipment

2.9.1 Checking the retaining elements

Retaining elements are used to secure the


pins in the folding jibs and lattice components.
The spring force of the retaining elements may
significantly reduce if they are mechanically
damaged or distorted. Do not re-use retaining
elements if there is insufficient spring force.
The pins must be secured with correctly
functioning retaining elements.

DANGER
Risk of accident if retaining element does
not provide enough spring force!
It cannot be guaranteed that the pin is
correctly secured if the retaining element
does not provide sufficient spring force.
• Use retaining elements with sufficient
spring force!

2.9.2 Checking the ropes

The ropes must be checked by an expert


before assembly and checks must be
performed at regular intervals in order to
detect possible damage or wear and tear at an
early stage. See chapter 4.04.
The ropes must be removed immediately if
any of the following damage is detected:
- Breakage of a strand
- Wire breaks
- Broken wire nests
- Reduction in the rope diameter by more than
10% of the nominal size
- Rope deformation

2.9.4 Inspection procedures

Note!
• If the crane operator leaves the cab,
even for a short time, the operating
mode settings must be checked and
reset if necessary before resuming crane
operation.

Perform the following checks before operating


the crane:
- Check whether the axle suspension is
locked.
- Check whether the support pads are secured
in their operating position.
- Check whether the ground provides
adequate load-bearing capacity.
- Check whether there is sufficient safety
clearance to slopes and excavations.
- Check whether there are any live cables
within the operating range of the crane.
- Ensure that the work can be carried out with
minimum boom projection.
- Check that there are no obstacles which
might hinder required crane movement.
- Check whether pins have been fitted to
secure the sliding beams against sliding.
- Check whether the crane is supported.
- Check whether the crane is level.
- Check that the tires are not in contact with
the ground.
- Check that the overload protection has been
adjusted as per the information in the load
chart.
- Check if the bypass key button and the
assembly key button are turned off.

2-81

- Check the shut off of the overload protection


by running against the operating position on
“top” and “bottom”.
- Check the shut off of the overload protection
by running against the hoist limit switch.
- Check the easy movement and function of
the wind speed sensor.
- Check the shut off of the limit switches -
lattice jib “lowest position”.
- Check the shut off of the limit switches – flap
in position lattice jib “steepest position”.
- Check the easy movement of the pendulum
for the mechanical relapse retainer over the
total swing range of the pendulum.


DANGER
Crane can topple over!
If the control measures are not carried out
before crane operation, then the crane can
topple over or be damaged!
Personnel can be killed or injured!

• Crane operation with safety devices


which are not functioning correctly is strictly
prohibited!
• Start crane operation only after all safety
devices have been checked and are
functioning correctly!
• Start crane operation only if the overload
protection has been set according to the data
in the load chart!
• Start crane operation only if the crane is
properly supported and horizontally aligned!

2.9.5 Dangerous conditions without


shut off

2.9.5.1 Block position of relapse cylinders


when setting down a load

DANGER
Damage to boom or relapse cylinder!
If the block position of the relapse
cylinders is triggered by the boom or the
derrick with attached, freely suspended
load, then there is a danger of damaging
the boom or the relapse cylinders when
setting down the load onto the ground! By
setting down the load, the crane is relieved,
which causes the boom system to move to
the rear.
There is no shut off of the hoist gear down
function!
• Actuate the opposite direction of
movement which caused the block position
and eliminate the block position!

Safety
SAC2200

2.9.6 Transporting components

Ensure that any components transported


by support vehicle are secured correctly. If
necessary, transport these components on
supports or using a special transport device.

2.9.6.1 Transporting lattice components

If the lattice components are pushed inside


each other for transportation purposes, they
must each be secured with 2 chains.

2-84
Safety
SAC2200

2.9.7 Pneumatic springs for assembly


support of components

Pneumatic springs are installed on various


components to simplify the installation of these
components.

DANGER
Danger of crushing!
Defective pneumatic springs no longer
provide the supporting properties on the
movable components!
Due to falling components, personnel can
be killed or severely injured!
High risk of accident!

• Do not use components with defective


pneumatic springs! Replace defective
pneumatic springs!
• Always check pneumatic springs for external
damage before actuating the corresponding
components!
• It is strictly prohibited for personnel or objects
to remain within the movement range of the
components, which are supported by the
pneumatic spring!
• It is prohibited for personnel or objects to
remain within the danger zone of the moveable
components!

Safety
SAC2200

2.9.8 Weights

Note!
Do note:
• The weight of each component is
specified in the corresponding chapter or
stated on the plate fitted to the component!
• Contact the customer service department
of SANY if the component weight is not
stated on the plate or in the operating
instructions.
• If components are pushed into one
another (for example intermediate pieces)
or folded together (for example the folding
jib), then the total weight is given by the
sum of the individual components.
• Use auxiliary crane with sufficient load
carrying capacity.

2.9.9 Reduction of load carrying


capacity with placed guy posts

Note!
• The reduction of the load carrying
capacity depends on the boom angle and
the boom length. The longer the main
boom and the wider the boom is inclined to
the horizontal, the larger is the reduction of
load carrying capacity.

2-86
Safety
SAC2200

2.9.10 Bypassing the overload


protection

DANGER
Increased accident risk when bypassing
the overload protection!
Proper use of the crane is ensured by
means of the construction of the overload
protection system and observance of
the information in the crane’s operating
instructions.
All sensibly foreseeable erroneous
operations of the crane have been taken
into consideration.
Impermissible crane operation with
bypassed overload protection – with the
aim of increasing the maximum load-
bearing capacity of the crane above the
rated value in the load chart, or to extend
the designated working range of the
crane – does not constitute a sensibly
foreseeable erroneous operation, rather,
deliberate improper use with high risk of
accident!
The possible risks and consequences of
such deliberate improper use are detailed
in the operating instructions.
Such deliberate improper use can neither
be prevented by means of the constructive
design, nor by means of information in the
operating instructions!
• Only operate the bypass key button in
accordance with the operating instructions!
• All other usage of the bypass key button
other than as described in the operating
instructions is impermissible!

2-87
Safety
SAC2200

2.9.10.1 Bypassing overload protection

If the maximum permissible load torque is


exceeded, the overload protection switches
off all crane movements that increase load
torque. The switch-off can be bypassed by
means of the bypass key button. The overload
protection displays remain functional.

DANGER

Increased accident risk when bypassing


the overload protection!
If overload protection is bypassed, there is
no further protection against overloading
the crane!
In the event of deliberate improper use, the
crane could collapse, the boom can break
off or the crane can topple over!
Personnel can be killed!
This could result in serious damage!
• It is only permitted to bypass the
overload protection during assembly or in
emergencies!
• The bypass key button may only be
actuated by persons who are aware of the
effects of their acts regarding the bypass
of the overload safety!
• Bypassing the overload protection
requires the presence of the crane
supervisor and must be performed with
utmost caution!
• Crane operation with bypassed overload
protection is strictly prohibited!

2-88
Safety
SAC2200

2.9.10.2 Bypass of hoist-top switch-off

If the hook block contacts the hoist limit switch


weight during its upward movement, the hoist
limit switch is triggered. The crane movements
“Spool up winches”, “Luff boom down” and
“Telescope telescopic boom out” are switched
off. The switch-off can be bypassed by means
of the bypass key button.

DANGER

Increased accident risk when bypassing


the overload protection!
When bypassing the hoist top shut-off,
there is a risk that the hook block may
be pulled against the pulley head when
continuing to lift or luffing down the boom.
This may damage the pulleys and cause
the loads to fall!
• Only bypass the hoist top shut-off in the
presence of a crane supervisor and with
the help of a “guide”. The guide must be
in direct contact with the crane operator
and must continually monitor the distance
between the hook block and the boom
head.
• Carry out all crane movements with
maximum care and minimum speed.

SAC2200

2.9.11 Assembly / dismantling


DANGER
Risk of fatal injury due to incorrect
assembly or disassembly!
The assembly/disassembly of components
should never be performed by untrained
personnel. Incorrect assembly/disassembly
can result in death or severe injury!
• Assembly and disassembly should
only be carried out by authorized trained
experts!

Note!
• For assembly / disassembly of individual
components, also refer to the chapters
relating to those components!
• Only use the auxiliary winch (installation
or reeving winch) for installation and not to
lift loads!
• Lifting of loads with the auxiliary winch is
prohibited!
Normal assembly / disassembly procedures
require all separately transported
components to be transported close to the
ground using appropriate auxiliary cranes
and fastening equipment. They should be
safely (correctly) connected to the crane.
Suspended loads such as counterweights,
lattice components or auxiliary booms
must be placed on the ground or on a
frame or other suitable load bearing device
before being approached by installation
personnel.

2-90
Safety
SAC2200

DANGER
Danger of impact and crushing!
There is a risk of impact and crushing
when standing in the vicinity of swinging
suspended loads.
• During assembly/disassembly nobody
should be in the dangerous area around
or even underneath the suspended load
before the load has been secured!

2-91
Safety
SAC2200

DANGER
Danger of falling!
D u r i n g a s s e m b l y a n d d i s a s s e m b l y,
personnel must be secured with
appropriate antifall guards to prevent
them from falling. If this is not observed,
personnel could fall and suffer life-
threatening injuries.
• All assembly work from a height of 2
m must generally be carried out using
suitable aids (lifting platforms, scaffolding,
ladders, auxiliary crane, etc.)! The height
above which assembly/disassembly work
must be carried out with aids depends
on national regulations. The national
regulations must be adhered to!
• Work which cannot be performed on
the ground or using such aids requires
that installation personnel use suitable
personal protection equipment (such as
safety belts) to protect against falling !
A description of the fastening points for
personal protection equipment is given in
chapter 2.06.
• Any antifall guards (railings) fitted to the
crane superstructure must be brought and
secured into their correct position prior to
assembly/dismantling. See chapter 1.06.
• Only step on maintenance aids and
guards with clean shoes!
• Keep aids and antifall guards clean and
free from snow and ice!
• It is prohibited to walk on the telescopic
or auxiliary booms!

2-92
Safety
SAC2200

2.9.11.1 Assembly/disassembly of the


booms

Lattice components which are not in contact


with the ground during assembly / disassembly
must be supported by appropriate and stable
materials. Adjust the height of the body so
that the lattice components are not in contact
with the ground. Pay particular attention if the
lattice components are equipped with rope
pulleys. Otherwise the rope pulleys could be
damaged.
During dismantling it must be ensured that the
auxiliary crane lifts its load vertically. The crane
operator must ensure that the load bearing
capacity of the auxiliary crane is sufficient to
safely raise the dismantled component at the
given radius. When attaching the auxiliary crane
it must be ensured that the hook of the auxiliary
crane is above the center of gravity of the
dismantled component and the fastening ropes
are attached to the load.

DANGER
Crane can topple over!
Angular pulling can destroy the crane or
cause it to topple over.
The hook block must always be attached
vertically over the center of gravity of the
load to be lifted!
Diagonal pulling is not permitted!

2-94
Safety
SAC2200

DANGER
Danger of accidents if the pins are twisted!
The pins can be twisted by diagonal pull or
if the hoisting force of the auxiliary crane
is too high or too low.
Distorted parts can suddenly detach
themselves when the pins are unpinned.
This represents a fatal injury risk to
installation personnel.
• When the pins are unpinned, the “hoisting
force” of the auxiliary crane must be
adapted to the “weight” of the parts being
lifted!
• Do not remove stiff pins by force!
• Remedy the cause of the distortion!

Note!
Instructions for pinning and unpinning:
• Unpin or pin both pins at the same
horizontal level, i.e. left and right!
• Pin the lower pins from inside to outside

2.10 Inspection of Cranes

2.10.1 Periodic Inspection on Crane

2.10.1.1 General

This crane was tested at the manufacturer's


facilities prior to shipment in accordance with
the latest ISO, FEM and DIN Standards and
BGV D6 (BGG 905).
The safety level achieved during initial
commissioning may not be attainable during
operation.
Examples of the root cause of such deviations
include; e.g., wear and tear, corrosion,
effects of forced operations, changes in the
environment and changes to the mode of
operation.
The operator is responsible for taking the
necessary steps to ensure that the level of
safety is maintained.
The crane operator is therefore obliged to
have the crane inspected by an expert, at
intervals varying to the operational conditions
but at least once per year, from the first day of
vehicle registration.
The crane must be inspected by an authorized
inspector every four years after it has been
licensed. After its twelfth year of operation,
the crane must be inspected annually by an
authorized inspector.

2-107
Safety
SAC2200

ATTENTION

There is a risk of weakening the supporting


components when major changes or
repairs are made to the crane!
• In such cases, the operator must have
the crane inspected by an expert before
putting it back into service.
Respective local regulations also apply.

Expert: is a person whose technical training


and experience means that he has adequate
knowledge in the field of inspecting technical
equipment. He is adequately familiar with
the relevant national work safety regulations,
accident prevention regulations, and standards
that he is able to evaluate the operational
safety of the equipment (for example cranes).
Responsible employees from specialist
workshops and customer service engineers
may be considered as experts.

ATTENTION

• Experts are not authorized inspectors!

Authorized inspector: is a person whose


technical training and experience means
that he has explicit knowledge in the field
of inspecting technical equipment. He is
adequately familiar with the relevant national
work safety regulations, accident prevention
regulations, and standards that he is able
to evaluate the operational safety of the
equipment (for example cranes). He is to test
the technical equipment and is able to certify
the equipment as safe. Authorized inspectors
are typically qualified engineers.

2-108
Safety
SAC2200

ATTENTION

• Authorized inspectors are legally


recognized experts who have received
special training!

Periodic inspections are principally a visual


inspection, where the authorized inspector /
expert appraises the condition of the crane
and its components.
The purpose of the inspections is to avoid
accidents by detecting deficiencies in a timely
fashion. Any deficiencies determined by the
inspectors must be documented, corrected,
and subsequently reinspected.
A number of important examples of items that
are particularly important during the periodic
crane inspections are listed in the following.
We wish to advise that the two different types
of inspectors take sole responsibility for the
inspections that they carry out. This chapter
does not necessarily cover the entire scope of
the inspections.
A checklist for periodic inspections
recommended for SANY vehicles and crawler
cranes is included in the appendix to assist the
inspectors.
If the inspector has any questions they should
be directed to SANY technical department.

2.10.1.2 Inspecting load-bearing steel


structures

DANGER

Danger of fatal injury!


The load-bearing steel structures have to
be checked by an authorized inspector at
least once a year.
If this is not the case, they could fail and
cause fatal injury or seriously damage the
crane!

• Load-bearing steel structures must be


checked by an authorized inspector at least
once a year!
• Shorten the inspection intervals if the crane
is subjected to above-average duty cycles,
for example when handling large material
quantities or frequently erecting long boom
systems.
• If the crane was subjected to excessive
operating loads; e.g., due to an unusual
impact, the load-bearing steel structures must
be inspected immediately!

2-110
Safety
SAC2200

Steel bearing components such as telescopic


booms, turntables, chassis, support equipment
(e.g., sliding beams or movable stanchions)
must be carefully inspected, at the very
least during the annual recommended crane
inspections. Even though weld joints are not
normally situated at maximum load locations,
it is nevertheless important that they be
inspected with particular care during the
periodic inspections.
We would like to point out that the steel
framework of mobile cranes is designed for
a limited number of stress work cycles. This
determines the design life of the steel support
structures. The life is not determined solely by
the number of stress cycles. It also depends
on the loads applied during operation (duty
cycle).
SANY cranes are designed for assembly
operation and can only perform a limited
number of stress cycles. They are designed
for special movement characteristics. For
example: continuous deployment of drive
forces, occasional operation and load
conditions according to DIN 15018:1984 Part
3 or EN 13000:2004.

2-111
Safety
SAC2200

Example of a duty cycle according to the


grouping for SANY Mobile Cranes:

ATTENTION

• The life of SANY mobile cranes can


drastically reduce, for example when
used in magnet, grab or material handling
applications.

Therefore, the load-bearing steel components


and the weld joints require thorough appraisal
by the authorized inspector during the
specified periodic inspections.
If damage (e.g., cracks) are apparent in any
part of the steel structure, the total extent of
the damage must be determined by qualified
specialists using appropriate material test
methods; e.g., magnetic crack detection,
ultrasound or x-rays. The specialists should
then advise whether or not the damaged area
can be repaired by welding or other means.
The following diagrams are samples of the
load-bearing weld designs. The welds or steel
structural zones that require inspection may
be present more than once and in various
forms. The joints or zones must be inspected
all around at the locations identified by arrows.
LI: Load proportion in relation to maximum
load [%]
ATTENTION NI: Stress cycles in relation to maximum load
[%]
• The scope and extent of all inspections
remain the sole responsibility of the
inspectors.
• The scope of the checks and the test
results must be traceably documented.
This documentation forms part of the crane
records and should be safely stored during
the entire service life of the crane.
• The following diagrams are provided to
assist the inspector. The diagrams are only
examples and are not necessarily 100%
complete!

1. Repair welds
If defects such as cracks or permanent
deformation are detected on load-bearing
steel components, they should be immediately
reported to SANY Customer Service
Department.
Furthermore, the defect must immediately
be appraised by an authorized inspector in
accordance with standard welding practice
rules. The inspector must immediately
ascertain whether or not the crane can
continue to be operated safely until the time of
the repair.

The following items apply to the repair weld:


- Repair welds may only be carried out by the
following persons or companies:
- SANY personnel, or third-party personnel
c o n t r a c t e d b y S A N Y, w i t h a p p r o p r i a t e

cranes using the appropriate materials and
application of welding methods in accordance
with MAGM (135), especially manual arc
welding E (111), are absolutely essential.
- Repair instructions that identify the basic
material, along with the required welding
accessories and supplementary materials,
must be requested from SANY before starting
the repair. The required non-destructive tests
must be carried out and documented.
- The repair weld must be carried out in
accordance with the latest revision of SANY's
internal welding guideline, ISR B 010!
- The repaired structural component must
subsequently be subjected to a load test.
- The required test loads and boom
configurations shall be obtained from SANY
Customer Service! Successful test results
shall be documented in the crane inspection
log!
- We also refer to observing the accident
prevention regulations “Principles for testing
cranes by authorized inspectors or experts in
accordance with UVV Cranes BGV D6 and
BGG 905”!

2.10.2 Inspecting the rims

The rim is one of the most important safety


relevant components on the vehicle.
The rim construction is a welded steel design
and must be tested in accordance with
paragraph 1, “Inspecting load-bearing steel
structures”.

In addition, rim must be inspected for cracks


on both the outsides and the insides, at
the very least during the annually specified
crane inspection. We recommend using the
dye check method. Immediately replace any
rims that show evidence of cracks or crack
formation.

The operator is to inspect the rims, regardless


of the actual duty cycle they were exposed to
after maximum 40000 km.

In particular, the rims should be inspected


for cracks that are developing in the basic
material, as well as at the locations indicated
by the arrows.

2.10.3 Inspecting the hoist and luffing


winches

The hoist and luffing winches are designed


using integrated planetary gears. The
transmissions are sized for long life and the
drive shafts and gearwheels are rated for
endurance.
Even though the hoist and luffing winches
are designed for long life, an external visual
inspection in not adequate, since their life can
be significantly affected by bad maintenance
(insufficient oil), using oil that does not meet
specification requirements, defective seals,
improper operation or overloading.
The inspection must therefore be carried out
by an expert in accordance with the following
requirements.

2.10.3.1 Inspections

Inspection intervals
1000 hours of operation, minimum once per
year

Inspecting oil level


Check the oil level using the dipstick. For
hoist and luffing winches without a dipstick,
we recommend that the oil is drained and the
amount compared to the specified oil quantity.

Evaluating oil color


Assume that the oil has been overheated if it
is black and/or a burnt oil smell is detected.
Change the oil.

2-121
Safety
SAC2200

Checking for foreign substances


This inspection should be carried out by
a qualified laboratory. The used oil shall
be dribbled onto the specified woven filter
medium. Visual inspection using a magnifying
glass may reveal coarse particles.
If particles are detected, all the oil's properties
must be examined by a qualified laboratory.

Evaluation of foreign substances found in the


oil
A qualified laboratory shall be used to assess
the oil.
The maximum permissible quantity of foreign
material measured by weight is 0.15% of
total oil weight. Maximum permissible foreign
particle size from fine abrasion is 0.25
microns.
If above values are exceeded, the
transmission must be dismantled to determine
the root cause of the excessive abrasion.
Damaged components shall be replaced and
the transmission refilled with fresh oil.

NOTICE!
Danger of property damage!
• Repairs may only be carried out by
specialists with appropriate equipment
knowledge.

Visual inspection
The transmissions shall be checked for
leakage, since loss of oil, in addition to
polluting the environment, can lead to
transmission failure.

2-122
Safety
SAC2200

Inspecting the transmission brakes


Check the brakes each time the transmissions
are inspected.
In order to do so, proceed as follows:
- Hook on and lift a load just above the ground
which creates the maximum rope tension at
the uppermost reel position.
- Remove the plug from the brake lifting
magnet.
This means the brake remains closed when
activated.
- Operate the winch in the lowering direction.

ATTENTION

• The brake may not slip through, in other


words, the winch may not turn. If the brake
slips though, SANY customer service
department is to be informed.
• Only re-start crane operations after
checking and release by SANY customer
services!

ATTENTION

Danger of property damage!


• Only qualified personnel with specialized
knowledge shall be used to assess
transmissions and brakes.

Documenting the completed inspection and


tests
The results of the annual inspections and
maintenance work, including the steps taken,
shall be documented by the competent or
authorized inspector, including attachments
from the inspection labs and qualified service
companies if any.
This documentation shall be filed in the crane
inspection log under the heading "Periodic
inspections".

2.10.3.2 Requirements for monitoring the


winches

Design life
The designer of your crane used a theoretical
total operating time when designing and sizing
the winches. This resulted in the design life of
the equipment.
Your crane winches are classified according to
ISO 4301/1 as follows:

Winches Classification
Power train group: M3
Duty cycle: L1
Duty cycle factor Km: 0.125
Design life D: 3200h

Note!
• The “design life” is not equal to the real
(true) life of a winch!

The actual life of the winch is affected by many


additional outside factors; for example:
- Overloads caused by unapproved use of the
crane
- Inadequate maintenance: Oil is not changed
in a timely manner
- Improper operation:
•Extreme acceleration or braking of the load
•Load falling onto the cables
- Improper maintenance:
•Using the wrong type of oil
•Too much or too little oil
•Contamination during oil changes
• Assembly errors during repair and
maintenance
- Undetected leakage
- Incorrectly set safety devices
- Hidden damage from accidents
- Extreme environmental conditions:
•Extreme temperatures
•Corrosive atmosphere
•Dust and dirt

SAC2200

Actual usage component of the design life


The crane operator is obligated to carry out an
inspection of the crane at least once a year.

At this time, the actual usage component of


the design life shall be calculated. If necessary,
the crane operator shall subcontract this work
to an authorized inspector.

The actual operating conditions (duty


cycle) and the winch operating hours at
each inspection interval are required to
determine the proportion of the design life
that has actually been used. The operator
is responsible for maintaining the crane
inspection log documentation.

Determining the operating conditions (duty


cycle)

The crane’s duty cycle is split into groups,


please refer to ISO 4301/1.

One of the following duty cycles shall be


selected and recorded in the crane inspection
log for the respective inspection interval
based on knowledge of the actual operating
conditions. A more precise determination of
the duty cycle is permissible.

Determining the effective operating hours Ti


The effective operating hours calculated
using the following method shall be entered
into crane inspection log for the respective
inspection interval.
There are four different scenarios:
1.) Operating hour meter installed on every
winch
If an operating hour meter is installed on every
winch, the effective operating hours Ti can be
read directly during each inspection.

2.) Operating hour meter installed for the


overall crane drive
The winch proportion of the total
superstructure operating hours must be
estimated.
For cranes used in assembly operations, the
operating time for the hoist winches can be
estimated at 20% of the total operating hours
of the superstructure.

3.) One operating hour meter is used for both


the crane engine and the crane drive
The winch proportion of the total crane
operating hours must be estimated.
For cranes used in assembly operations, the
operating time for the superstructure can be
estimated at 60% of the total operating hours
of the crane. If the hoist winch proportion
is estimated at 20% of the superstructure
operating hours (see previous item), then in
relation to the total operating hours of the
crane: 12%.

4.) No operating hour meter installed


In this case the operator must estimate and
document the actual operating hours of the
winch. The approximate percentages stated
above normally apply to main hoist winches.
For auxiliary hoist winches or luffing winches,
the proportion of the total operating hours can
be significantly less and should therefore be
estimated by the operator.

2-130
Safety
SAC2200

Determining the actual usage proportion of the


design life
For an inspection interval i (maximum 1
year), the actually used proportion Si of the
theoretical design life is derived from the
formula:

Abbreviation Explanation
Si Used proportion of the theoretical design life
Duty cycle factor that was used to select the winch ratings. This
Km
factor is given in the operating manual.

Duty cycle factor for inspection interval according to Chapter


Kmi
“Determining the operating conditions”

Effective operating hours for inspection interval i according to


Ti
Section “Determining the effective operating hours Ti ”

The actually used hours proportion is


subtracted from the remaining design life D i
after each inspection interval (see example).

If the remaining design life is not long enough


to cover the next projected operating period, a
general overhaul of the winch is required.

If the design life D has been reached (see


chapter on “Design life”), the winch may only be
operated after conducting a general overhaul.

2-131
Safety
SAC2200

A general overhaul of the winch is required not


later than 10 years after commissioning.

The general overhaul shall be arranged


by the operator and carried out by the
manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorized
representatives and must be documented in
the inspection log. After the general overhaul,
the manufacturer or the manufacturer's
authorized representative will define a new
design life D.

If the design life has not been reached after


10 years, continued operation of the winch
without a general overhaul is acceptable,
provided that the crane's authorized inspector
has confirmed the accuracy of the actual
usage calculation by signing the crane
inspection log at each authorized inspection
interval.

In such a case, the crane authorized inspector


must thoroughly inspect the winch. This
comprises at least:
- External visual inspection (leakage, damage,
deformation).
- Oil inspection, particularly looking for metal
residues.
- Load test at minimum and maximum cable
tension, at maximum speed in both cases. At
least one layer shall be spooled. Pay particular
attention to any unusual noises during the load
test.

The crane's authorized inspector must confirm


this inspection in the crane inspection log and
must make a statement regarding suitability
of the winch for continued operation. The next
inspection shall take place at the end of the
12th operating year, and thereafter annually.

Safety
SAC2200

Example:
According to the manufacturer's operating
manual, a mobile crane with a separate
operating hour meter for the crane engine and
the crane drives classified as follows:
- Power train group: M3
- Duty cycle: light L1
- Duty cycle factor: Km = 0.125
- Design life: D = 3200 h
Actual usage proportion S of the design life
is calculated using the individual inspection
intervals as follows:

First inspection (first year)


The crane was used for assembly work during
the elapsed year:
Duty cycle L1, in other words Km1 = 0.125.
The superstructure operating hour meter
indicates 800 hours. The winch operated
about 20% of the time; i.e. T1 = 160 h.

The actual usage proportion S of the design


life at the time of the first inspection is
therefore:

0.125
S1 = × 160h = 160h
0.125

Remaining design life:


D1 = 3200 h – 160 h = 3040 h
The above values shall be recorded in the
crane inspection log.

2-133
Safety
SAC2200

Second inspection (second year)


The crane was used at a harbor for unloading
work:
Duty cycle L3, in other words Km2 = 0.5.
The superstructure operating hour meter
indicates 2000 hours; i.e., during this period:
2000 h – 800 h = 1200 h (800 h were used
during the first year of operation)
The winch operated about 40% of the time; i.e.
T2 = 480 h.

The actual usage proportion S2 of the design


life at the time of the second inspection is
therefore:

0.5
S2 = × 480h = 1920h
0.125

Remaining design life:


D2 = 3040 h – 1920 h = 1120 h

2-134
Safety
SAC2200

Third inspection (third year)


The crane was used for assembly work and
occasionally at a harbour for unloading work:
Duty cycle L2, in other words Km3 = 0.25.
The superstructure operating hour meter
indicates 3000 hours; i.e., during this period:
3000 h – 2000 h = 1000 h (2000 h were used
during the first two years of operation)
The winch operated about 30% of the time; i.e.
T3 = 300 h.
The actual usage proportion S3 of the design
life at the time of the third inspection is
therefore:

0.25
S3 = × 300h = 600h
0.125

Remaining design life:


D3 = 1120 h – 600 h = 520 h

2.10.4 Inspecting the load hooks

The load hooks must be inspected annually by


an expert.
The purpose of the inspections is to avoid
accidents by detecting deficiencies in a timely
fashion. Any deficiencies determined by the
expert must be documented, corrected, and
subsequently reinspected.

2.10.4.1 Inspection and monitoring


procedure

1. Deformation
The hook should be inspected for distortion as
required, but at least once a year; e.g., at the
hook jaw. The original dimensions, (y) or (y1)
and (y2), are given on the load hook itself.
Measure between the punch marks.

DANGER
Risk of accident!
Hook jaw distortion may not exceed 10% of
the original dimensions (y) or (y1) and (y2).
• Do not use a load hook that exhibits
greater distortion.
• Advise the SANY Customer Service
Department.

2 .Corrosion

DANGER
Risk of accidents caused by thread
corrosion/wear and tear!
• Stop using the load hook.
• Advise the SANY Customer Service
Department.
Unscrew the nut from the hook shank
so that the threads can be inspected for
corrosion and wear and tear.

Safety
SAC2200

2.10.9 Inspecting the rope pulleys

DANGER
Risk of accident when damaged or
cracked!
• Replace rope pulley as soon as possible.

Inspect the entire rope pulley assemblies for


damage and cracks once a year.
If rope pulleys are subjected to any impacts
(e .g ., w i th b u i l d i n gs) or a re o th e r w i s e
overloaded, they must be immediately visually
inspected for damage or cracks.
Also check for wear on the rope groove.
Replace the pulley if the bottom of the rope
groove has been worn down more than 1/4 of
the rope diameter.

2.10.10 Testing overload protection


operation

Position the longest boom at minimum and


maximum radius: Check the load indicator,
using the hook block as a test load.
The indicator reading shall not deviate more
than 10% off the true load value at these two
extreme positions.
Measure the indicated radius for the longest
boom at its minimum radius and at a boom
angle of 45°. The indicator reading shall not
deviate more than 10% off the measured
projection.

Safety
SAC2200

2.10.11 Inspecting the mounting of the


load bearing equipment

Check that the mounting bolts for the roller


slewing ring, winches, slewing gears and
trailer coupling are properly seated.

Slewing ring connection mounting bolts


are pre-stressed at the factory, so that no
loosening of the bolted connections will occur
during normal crane operation.

However, the bolted connection may become


overloaded and the bolts may be permanently
stretched if the crane is overloaded or if a fixed
load is pulled free. It is therefore important to
check these bolts for proper seating during the
annual crane inspection or after an overload
has occurred.
Completely remove loose bolts, plus the two
adjacent ones, and immediately check for
damage. Inspect the bolts, particularly for
cracks or permanent distortion. If a bolt has
been stretched by more than 0.2% (related to
its original length) or if cracks or other damage
are detected, then the damaged bolts must be
replaced. If the bolts have been stretched or
there is other damage, then also replace the
adjacent bolts.

2.10.12 Inspecting the oil and fuel


reservoirs

Oil and fuel reservoirs shall be inspected at


least once a year and checked all around for
leakage during the periodic inspections every
four years.
Repairs shall only be carried out by trained
and knowledge able specialists.
Improper repairs; e.g., welding, hard or soft
soldering is not permitted, particularly if the
SANY Customer Service Department has not
been consulted!

2.10.13 Inspection of the auxiliary


reeving winch, towing winch and spare

2.10.15 Inspection on wire rope

2.10.15.1 Introduction

DANGER

Danger of fatal injury due to defective


crane ropes!
• Do observe the following criteria.

The rope should be considered to be a


wearing part of a crane that must be replaced
if checking shows that its strength has reduced
to such an extent that continued use thereof
may be dangerous. Regular checking of the
rope is required in order to safely carry loads
using correctly deployed equipment, meaning
that the rope must be stop being used at an
appropriate point in time.
The take-down criteria with regard to rope
breaks, wear, corrosion and deformation
can be applied immediately under all usage
conditions. The different factors are dealt
with in ISO 4309, which is intended to serve
as a guideline to competent experts who are
involved in maintaining and testing cranes.
The criteria that are dealt with are intended
to provide appropriate safety for transporting
loads with cranes until the rope is taken down.

2.10.15.2 Wire rope

1. Condition before installing


The rope is usually replaced with a rope that
is of the same type as the original. If the spare
part is of another type, the user must ensure
that the rope characteristics are at least as
good as those of the rope that was taken
down.
Before installing a new wire rope the grooves
of the rope drums and pulleys must be
checked in order to ensure that they can
accommodate the spare part correctly (see
section entitled “Checking”).

2-154
Safety
SAC2200

2. Installing
When the rope is removed from the spool
or unwound from a reel, it must be ensured
that the rope is not twisted, otherwise loops,
reverse bends or kinks may occur.
If the rope is looped over any part of the
system when it is not under strain, these areas
must be protected accordingly.
Before starting to use the rope on the system
the user must ensure that all components
that are functionally associated with the rope
have been set up in such a way that they will
operate correctly. The crane should be used
for lifting at approximately 10% of the normal
load in order to stabilize the rope.

3. Maintenance
The ropes are maintained depending on the
type of crane, the deployment thereof, the
environment and the type of rope that is used.
Unless other instructions from the crane or
rope manufacturer apply, wherever possible
the rope should be cleaned and lubricated with
grease or oil, particularly in areas in which the
rope is subjected to bending when it runs over
pulleys.
The lubricant that is used must be suitable for
steel ropes.
Lack of maintenance will reduce the service
life of the rope, particularly if the crane is used
in a corrosive environment and if re-lubricating
is not possible because of the nature of the
respective deployment of the crane.

2-155
Safety
SAC2200

4 Checking
4.1 Frequency
Daily checking
If possible, all visible parts of the ropes must
be checked for general wear and deformation
on every working day. Special attention must
be made to the rope end connections. Any
suspected changes in the condition of the rope
must be reported and the rope checked by a
trained expert in accordance with the section
entitled “Points to check on the rope”.
In the event that the lower rope lays on the
drum are used infrequently or not at all,
periodically unwind and rewind the entire drum
at the appropriate tension. A rope is most cost-
effective when the entire length is used. An
appropriate rope length should therefore be
used when operating the crane over longer
periods.

Note!
• If a rope is replaced, then it must be
pretensioned and placed with a pretension
of 10% of the maximum rope pull.

Special checking as described in section


“Points to check on the rope”
The rope must be checked after any events
that may have led to damage to the rope and /
or the rope ends and whenever the rope starts
to be used again after being taken down and
then re-installed.

2-156
Safety
SAC2200

4.2 Checking the spooling behavior of the rope


on the cable drum
To avoid spooling errors and connected rope
damage, it is necessary to check the spooling
behavior daily. As a precaution, the rope
should be spooled off and on again regularly.

Possible spooling errors:


—— Cutting into the lower rope layers 1
—— Loop formation in the lower rope layers 2

2-157
Safety
SAC2200

4.3 Points to check on the rope


General
Although the entire length of the rope must be
checked, particular attention must be paid to
checking the following areas:
— at the rope end points at both sides, for
both moving and fixed ropes
— the part of the rope that runs through the
block or over rope pulleys; particular attention
must be paid to parts of the rope that are on
rope pulleys when under load (see appendix 1)
in systems that carry out repeated movements
— parts of the rope that run over a
compensation pulley
— all parts of the rope that can be subjected
to wear caused by external elements (e.g.
protruding hatch surrounds)
— all parts of the rope that are subjected to
the effects of heat
— on the contact positions of the ropes when
spooling up
— check the inside of the rope for corrosion
and material fatigue

The results of the checking must be entered in


the system checking log (for typical example
see section entitled “Rope checking log” and
appendix 2).

2-158
Safety
SAC2200

Checking the rope in the uphill pitch zones of


the rope coil for flat sections
In the cross area of the coiled up rope
layers, the rope is under more strain and can
therefore be flattened. To void flat sections,
the rope can be shortened on the rope drum
fixed point.
If the wires in the outer braids are flattened to
no more than maximum half the wire diameter:
—— Shorten the rope by a length of 1/3 of the
rope drum circumference and reset.

DANGER
Rope breakage!
If the following measures are not observed,
the rope can break, the load can fall down
and fatally injure personnel!

• Take the rope down when the take down


criteria is reached, as described in section
“Take down criteria”!
• Take the rope down when the wires in the
outer braids are flattened by more than half
the wire diameter!

2-159
Safety
SAC2200

Rope suspension and connection systems -


except loops
The rope must be examined at the exits of
the rope suspension and connection system,
since this area is particularly susceptible to
initial signs of material fatigue (wire breaks)
and corrosion. The rope suspension and
connection systems must also be examined
for signs of deformation or wear.

Rope suspension and connection systems


with pressure sleeves must undergo the same
checking, and the sleeve must be checked
for cracks in the sleeve material and possible
slippage of the rope in the sleeve.

Detachable rope suspension systems (cotters,


rope clamps) must be checked for wire breaks
inside and beneath the mount or fastening; it
must also be examined whether the cotters
and screwed-on rope clamps are firmly
connected to the rope. This check should
also ensure that the requirements of the rope
suspension and connection systems standards
and procedural guidelines are complied with.

2-160
Safety
SAC2200

5. Take-down criteria
The safe use of the rope is assessed in
accordance with the following criteria:
1) Number of wire breaks
2) Broken wire nests
3) Wire break increase rate
4) Strand breaks
5) Rope diameter reduction, including the
reduction caused by damage to the rope core
6) External and internal wear
7) External and internal corrosion
8) Deformation
9) Damage caused by the effects of heat or
arc welders

These individual factors must be taken into


consideration in accordance with the relevant
criteria during all examinations. However, rope
quality deterioration frequently results from a
combination of the individual factors, meaning
that a worsening effect occurs that can be
detected by an expert and that influences the
decision as to whether the rope has reached
its rope removal limit and whether it can
continue to be used.
The checker must investigate whether the
deterioration has been caused by a fault in
the system; if this is the case remedial action
should be recommended before fitting a new
error.

2-161
Safety
SAC2200

5.1 Number of wire breaks


The number of wire breaks must be
determined by visually inspecting the entire
length of the rope. If a wire break is found,
sections that are 30 × d (d = nominal rope
diameter) in length are marked at both sides
of this point. These sections must examined
extremely carefully. All wire breaks are now
carefully counted in each section. Please
compare the number if visible wire breaks with
appendix 4.
If the number of visible wire breaks is less than
the number specified in the table, the area
in which the most broken wires are found is
marked to a length of 6 × d. Count the number
of visible wire breaks again and compare the
result with appendix 4. If the number of visible
wire breaks is less than the number specified
in the table, the rope does not have to be
taken down yet.

Note!
Defining the interval until the next check
• The interval until the next check is set
depending on the number of visible wire
breaks.

5.2 Broken wire nests


If the wire breaks are extremely close together
and form wire nests, the rope must be taken
down. If the frequency of such wire breaks
occurs over a rope length of less than 6d or is
concentrated on one strand, taking the rope
down is recommended, even if the number of
wire breaks is less than the maximum number
specified in the tables.

2-162
Safety
SAC2200

5.3 Wire break increase rate


For applications in which the main reason for
damage to the rope is material fatigue, the
first wire breaks will not occur until a certain
time has elapsed, but the number of wire
breaks will increase rapidly at ever-decreasing
intervals.
Careful checking and logging of the
increased number of wire breaks over time is
recommended in these cases.

5.4 Strand breaks


If an entire strand breaks, the rope must be
taken down.

5.5 Reduction in rope diameter caused by


damage to core rope
The rope diameter can be reduced as a result
to damage to the core because of:
1) Internal wear and notching
2) Internal wear because of friction between
individual strands and wires in the rope,
particularly if it is subjected to bending
3) Steel core breakage
4) Break in internal layers of multi-strand ropes
If the rope diameter (average of two diameter
measurements) is reduced by 3% of the
nominal diameter (rotation resistant ropes) or
10% of the nominal diameter of other ropes
due to these factors, the ropes must be taken
down, even if no wire breaks are visible.

Note!
Diameter of new ropes
• New ropes can have an actual diameter
that is greater than the nominal diameter,
meaning that proportionally greater wear is
possible.

2-163
Safety
SAC2200

5.6 External wear


Abrasion of outer wires of outer rope strands
as a result of rubbing contact under pressure
with the grooves in the rope reels and drums.
This condition is particularly evident in moving
ropes in the areas in which they come into
contact with rope pulleys when the load
is being moved and braked, and manifest
themselves as flattened surfaces on the outer
wires. Wear is increased by lack of or incorrect
lubrication and the effect of dust.

Wear reduces the breaking strain of steel


ropes because the cross section of the steel
is reduced. The rope must be taken down if
the actual rope diameter has reduced by 7%
or more because of outer wear, even if no wire
breaks are visible.

2-164
Safety
SAC2200

5.7 External and internal corrosion


Corrosion is a particular problem in maritime
climates and atmospheres that are polluted by
industrial emissions, reducing breaking strain
and accelerating material fatigue because
of the reduction in the rope material cross
section, leading to irregular surfaces that are
the starting point for stress cracks.

1) External corrosion
Corrosion of the outer rope wires can be
determined by visual inspection
2) Internal corrosion
This condition is more difficult to detect than
external corrosion.

Note!
Internal corrosion
• If there are any signs of internal corrosion
the rope must be checked by a competent
expert.

DANGER
Occurrence of internal corrosion!
• If the suspicion of extreme internal
corrosion is confirmed, the rope must be
taken down immediately.

2-165
Safety
SAC2200

5.8 Rope deformation


A visible change to the rope structure is
referred to as “rope deformation” and can
cause a change at the deformation point that
results in irregular rope tension.
A distinction is made between the following
important types of rope deformation on the
basis of the rope appearance (see following
sections):
1) Corkscrew-like deformation
2) Basket formation
3) Strands protruding from the rope
4) Wire loop formation
5) Flattening
6) Reverse bends or knots
7) Kinks

Corkscrew-like deformation (see Appendix 3,


table 1)
If there is any corkscrew-like deformation
the rope must be taken down if the following
condition is met:

d = nominal diameter of rope


d1= rope sheath diameter Corkscrew-like deformation
Length of rope must be less than 25d.

Basket formation(see appendix 3, table 2)


If there are kinks in the rope it must be
replaced immediately.

Strands protruding from the rope(see appendix


3, table 3)
The rope it must be replaced immediately if
this kind of deformation occurs.

2-166
Safety
SAC2200

Wire loop formation (see appendix 3, tables 4


and 5)
In this case, certain wires or groups of wires
protrude from the rope at the side facing
the rope pulley in the form of loops - this is
normally the result of sudden strain. If serious
deformation occurs the rope must be taken
down.

Flattening (see appendix 3, tables 8 and 9)


Flattening is the result of mechanical damage;
if it is pronounced the rope must be replaced.

Reverse bends or knots (see appendix 3,


tables 6 and 7)
If the rope has any reverse loops or knots it
must be taken down immediately.

Kinks (see appendix 3, table 10)


Kinks are angled deformations in the rope
caused by external influences. If there
are kinks in the rope it must be replaced
immediately.

5.9 Damage caused by the effects of heat or


arc welders
Steel ropes that have been subjected to
extremely high temperatures, which can be
detected externally because of the colouring
that it causes, must be taken down.

2-167
Safety
SAC2200

2.10.15.3 Operating behavior of steel ropes

Exact logging of information by the checker


can be useful for predicting the behavior of
a certain type of steel rope on a crane. This
information is useful for planning and adapting
maintenance instructions and controlling the
stocking of spare ropes. The use of such
a prediction system should not cause the
examinations to be less strict or the rope
usage time to be extended beyond the criteria
that are specified in the previous sections of
this guideline for the monitoring and taking
down of crane ropes.

2.10.15.4 Condition of equipment that is


functionally associated with the rope

Note!
Rope radius
• The radius must not be smaller than the
actual diameter of the rope.

Rope drums and pulleys must be checked


at regular intervals in order to ensure that all
these components rotate correctly in their
bearings. Stiff or blocked rope pulleys wear
rapidly and unevenly and cause serious rope
abrasion. Ineffective compensation pulleys
can lead to irregular rope tension. The radius
at the bottom of the rope grooves of all rope
pulleys and the drum must be suitable for the
nominal diameter of the rope. If the radius has
become too big or too small the rope groove
must be reworked or the rope pulley replaced.

2-168
Safety
SAC2200

2.10.15.5 Rope checking log

The user must produce a log for each of the


regular checks in which all rope checking
information is recorded. Typical example of a
log - see appendix 2.

2.10.15.6 Rope storage and marking

Clean, dry rope storage facilities must be


provided in order to prevent damage to ropes
that are not in use; it must also be ensured that
the ropes can be clearly and unambiguously
assigned to their checking logs.

2.10.15.7 Wire ropes and rope end


connections

DANGER

Risk of accident!
• Correct choice and use of rope and
rope end connections are decisive
preconditions for proper and accident-free
crane operation.

The wire ropes and rope end connections


selected in accordance with their usage. It
must be determined whether a non-twisting or
twisting rope is required. The type of rope that
is selected then determines the type of rope
end connections that are used.

2-169
Safety
SAC2200

1. Non-twisting ropes and their rope end


connections
Non-twisting ropes are special ropes that
produce extremely little torque and twisting at
the rope end connection when they are under
strain.
Because of this rope characteristic, these
ropes are used as hoist ropes.

Typical non-twisting wire rope structures are


ropes with 15 to 18 outer strands. Non-twisting
ropes are symbolically depicted with 15 outer
strands (circles) (see table 1).
Non-twisting ropes can be optionally used with
the following rope end connections:
—— Rope end connection rotating in the form
of a PFEIFER link with swivel or spin stabilizer
/ swivel
—— Rope end connection non-rotating in the
form of a PFEIFER link without swivel or cotter
If possible, preference should be given to
the use of a rotating rope end connection to
reduce torsional stress with non-twisting ropes
(see table 2).

DANGER
Danger of serious personnel injury and
equipment damage!
• Never use rotating rope end connections
with twisting ropes!

Note!
Usage warning!
• The usage warning on the rotating
PFEIFER link with swivel indicates that this
rope end connection may not be used for
twisting ropes (see table 3)!

2-170
Safety
SAC2200

2. Twisting ropes and their rope end


connections
Twisting ropes generate high torque levels at
the rope end connection when they are under
strain. For this reason, the rope ends must be
protected from twisting using an appropriate
rope end connection to prevent the rope from
unscrewing under strain!
Because of this rope characteristic, these
ropes are used as adjusting ropes, retracting
ropes or control ropes.

Typical twisting wire rope structures are ropes


with 8 to 10 outer strands. Twisting ropes are
symbolically depicted with 8 outer strands
(circles) (see table 4).
Twisting ropes can only be used with the
following rope end connections:
—— Rope end connection non-rotating in
the form of a PFEIFER link without swivel or
cotter.
Connecting the rope to the fixed point of the
winch drum also constitutes a non-rotating
rope end connection

DANGER
Danger of serious personnel injury and
equipment damage!
• Never use twisting ropes with a rotating
rope end connection!
• Never install a twist compensator / swivel!

Note!
Usage warning!
• The usage warning on PFEIFER links
without swivel and cotter indicates that this
rope end connection may not be used for
twisting ropes in combination with a twist
compensator/swivel (see table 5)!

2-171
Safety
SAC2200

2.10.15.8 Twisting caused by stretching in


non-twisting ropes and remedying thereof

DANGER
Damage to the cable!
• Do proceed with extreme caution when
performing the following actions.
• Do follow the following instructions to the
letter.

1) The number of strands should be the


number at which the hook block twists the
most.

2) Extend boom head fully and lower the


block.

3) Load hook block with at least approx. 10-


15% of nominal tension per strand.
• The following actions must be performed by
an assistant before lifting the load:
• Rotate twisted hook block to straight position
by hand (strands are no longer touching).
• Then rotate hook block by an additional 360°
by hand (strands touch each other).

4) When lifting the load, hold the hook block in


the specified twisted position until the load lifts
from the ground.
Caution: When the hook block comes under
strain, it will attempt to rotate back to a straight
position. Now release the hook block.

5) In the next step, raise the load to a height


of approximately 15 m below the maximum
height. The boom remains out all the way.

6)Then lower the load and put it down.


Now there is much less hook block twisting,
possibly even no twisting at all.

7) Repeat this procedure if necessary.

2.11 General Notes

2.11.1 Daily checking

The following checks are to be carried out


daily and before each start-up:
- Check that all oil and fuel lines are leak-free
and dry.
- Check that the injection pump, fuel and oil
filters are leak-free.
- Check that the hydraulic units, fan drive
hydraulic motors and their supply lines are
leak-free.
- Check that the exhaust system and exhaust
flange are leak-free.
- Check whether the exhaust flap retention flap
is free.

The return springs that open the exhaust


flaps must function properly, because seized,
and therefore closed exhaust flaps during
engine operation will result in considerable
overheating.
- Inspect electrical wiring and ensure that there
is sufficient clearance to hot exhaust system
piping and that it is properly fastened and that
there is no insulation damage.
- Inspect the soundproofing mats for soiling
from solutions and large quantities of oil or
fuel, as well as other damage.

Immediately remove any soundproofing mats


that are excessively damaged or soiled and
replace them with new ones.
Observe care instructions in the maintenance

2.11.2 Repair and maintenance tasks

Note!
• Repair and maintenance tasks are to be
carried out carefully!

Ta k e p a r t i c u l a r p r e c a u t i o n s r e g a r d i n g
cleanliness when replacing diesel and oil
filters. Remove any diesel fuel or oil that has
leaked. Perform a test run on the systems
to ensure that there are no leaks. The diesel
engine V-room must be inspected regularly,
and any oil or diesel fuel must be cleaned up,
particularly after repairs and servicing. Any
fuel that has collected in V-room can spread
throughout the engine room while the crane is
traveling on the road and can ignite if it comes
into contact with hot surfaces.

We stress that all electrical wiring must be


installed according to the regulations and
must be properly fastened. Immediately
repair any wiring insulation that exhibits
signs of chafing or brittleness as a result of
operational activities. Any wiring that is not
in perfect condition is to be immediately and
professionally replaced.

We would like to particularly emphasize that


over time fuel and oil lines can become brittle
or porous as they age. Any hoses that appear
to be excessively porous should be replaced
immediately see crane maintenance chapter.

2.11.3 Important servicing

The following service tasks are to be carried


out regularly:
- Grease drive shafts with SANY special
grease
- Regularly check that the drive shaft bolts are
properly seated
- Check gearbox and engine oil levels regularly
Add oil as required during normal operation.
If oil consumption or loss is unusually high,
determine the cause and correct.

2.11.4 Maintenance notes for


replacement parts

The following is to be considered when


replacing drive components such as engine,
gearbox or axles:
- Before re-starting, be sure to refill with the
correct type of oil to the centre of the min. -
max. markings
Refer to the nameplate and operating
materials and lubricants to determine the oil
type
- Conduct initial maintenance according to
chapter “Maintenance intervals”; thereafter,
maintain in accordance with the specified
maintenance intervals.

the tire is inflated causing death!
• If the clamp collar 2 is not correctly
seated, please obtain the assistance of an
authorized trained specialist!
• Do not make any alteration to the tire
pressure!
• Visually check the side ring and clamp
collar 2 for correct positioning!

DANGER
High risk of accident!
• In the event of insufficient profile or
damage to the tires, exchange tires for new
ones!
• Maintain correct tire pressure! See
chapter 1.03.
• If the tire pressure has sunk below 3
bar, the tire may only be pumped up by

2.11.7.2 Tire changes

Note!
• Tires may only be changed by authorized
and trained specialist personnel!
•This applies both to dismounting and
mounting of the tire on the wheel disk 1!

2.11.7.3 Wheel changes

1. In event of tire failure

Note!
The following is to be considered in the
event of tire failure!

• Pay attention to road traffic when stopping!


• The steering wheel could judder. Hold on to
the steering wheel tightly with both hands!
• Select the flattest possible surface for
undertaking a wheel change! Select the site
in such a way as the road traffic is obstructed
as little as possible and you will not be
endangered when changing the wheel!
• Secure the vehicle and the breakdown site!
•“Free-standing” crane operation is absolutely
prohibited!

2-187
Safety
SAC2200

WARNING
Toppling wheel!
The wheel can topple over when changing
the wheel and seriously injure personnel!

• Secure the wheel against toppling!


• Only operate the support when no wheels
are leaned against a sliding beam or support
cylinder!
• Step away quickly if a wheel threatens to
topple!
• Exchange wheels with the help of a second
person if possible!
• Engage parking brake.
• Lock the axle suspension.
• Loosen wheel nuts on faulty wheel.

DANGER
Crane can topple over!
•Select a support base where the mobile
crane cannot topple over!
•Support mobile crane insofar as the
wheels can be changed.

Wheels that are on their side are extremely


difficult to lift up. For this reason, do not put
the wheels down when changing a wheel.
•Lift spare wheel using the crane, put down
next to defective wheel and prevent from
rolling away or toppling over.
•Unscrew wheel nuts and remove defective
wheel.

2-188
Safety
SAC2200

DANGER
Defective spare wheel!
• Before mounting, visually inspect the rim
1, the side ring, the clamp collar 2 and the
tire! Never mount a defective spare wheel!
• Only mount wheels that are approved for
the vehicle!
• Mount spare wheel.

Note!
• The tightening torque for the wheel nuts
is 600 Nm.
• Re-fit wheel nuts and tighten crossways
to 600 Nm.
•After the first 50 and the first 100 traveled
kilometers:
• Ensure that wheel nuts are tight, re-
tighten if necessary.

2. Changing the wheels with each other


Crane vehicle tires are subjected to differing
loads during operation.

Tire rotation is recommended to ensure that all


the vehicle's tire wear uniformly. Tires should
be rotated as soon as uneven wear patterns
are detected. We recommend intervals in
the range of 5000 km and 10000 km. Tires
should be rotated in a crosswise pattern (see
following diagrams). The location should also
be selected so that tires that are evenly worn
are installed in locations where the wear
pattern is uneven.

This process has a positive impact on driving


comfort and tire life.

3.3 Axle Sprung / Axle Locking


System

3.3.1 Description

The axles are hydro-pneumatically sprung


via maintenance-free hydraulic cylinders,
the height can be adjusted and they can be
hydraulically locked. Depending on the driving
condition the axles can be interconnected via
axle pressure compensation.

3.3.1.1 Axle sprung

See illustration 1 for more information.


Used for driving on roads. All axles are
sprung. Spring travel +150 mm/-150 mm. In
order to improve fording capability the entire
chassis can be raised by 150 mm. In order to
reduce height to clear low obstacles the entire
chassis can be lowered by 150 mm. On a
slope the entire chassis can be tilted +/- 9° to
the side. The side stability of the vehicle when
cornering is safeguarded by the hydraulic axle
suspension.

DANGER: in order to minimize the


accident risk the extending distances and
the following safety regulations must be
adhered to.

Always extend all 4 sliding support beams, i.e.


also on the side opposite the load.

- The load suspended on the hook causes


tension and deformation of the hoist rope and
telescopic boom (also applies to jib and stay
ropes, if used). If the load is dropped or a stay
rope or hoist rope breaks in this situation, the
crane is suddenly unloaded. The boom snaps
back. If only the sliding beams at the load side
are extended the crane could tip over.
- Another situation may occur when it becomes
necessary to slew the load to the opposite
side. If only the sliding beams on the load side
are extended the crane could tip over.
- When rotating out of the longitudinal vehicle
direction, the boom or counterweight force
could tip over the crane unless all four sliding
beams are extended.

4.2 Superstructure Control


System

CAUTION !
The monitor illustrations in this chapter are
only examples. The numerical values in the
individual icons and tables do not necessarily
match exactly to the crane. Furthermore
many of the illustrations show the maximum
configuration. In normal crane operations, an
identical display will not appear on the monitor.

4.2.1 General

The superstructure control system is a


computer system for controlling and monitoring
mobile cranes. In addition to the Load torque
limiter = LMI there are a number of application
programs that can be used for controlling and
monitoring the crane movements:
1 “Superstructure control system start-up”
program
2 “Superstructure operating” program
3 “Boom length combination selecting”
program
4 “Engine monitoring” program
5 “Support” program
6 “Operating condition setting” program
7 “Telescoping” program
8 “Manual switchover” program
9 “Virtual wall setting” program
10 “Harness communication monitoring”
program
11 “Time setting” program

Load torque limiter (LMI)
Load torque limiter is implemented in
microprocessor of superstructure. The
superstructure operating system works on the
principle of comparing the actual load with the
maximum permissible load.

4-14
Crane Superstructure Operation
SAC2200

Actual load
The current load is recorded by acquiring
variable values.The load on the crane is jointly
set by the load torque and the boom torque.
This exerts a force in the boom luffing cylinder
that is measured by a pressure gauge.
The boom torque is calculated from data from
the angle sensors (boom angle), the length
sensors(boom length) and from crane data
(boom weights) for the set operating mode.
The boom projection radius is calculated with
data from the angle sensors (boom angle),
the length sensors (boom length) and from
geometry data for the set operating mode.
This also takes into account the bending of the
boom under its own weight, and the weight of
the load.
The actual load is calculated from the total
load, the boom torque and the boom projection
radius.

Maximum load according to load chart and


reeving
Crane data such as load charts, boom weights
and geometry data are stored in the main
memory of the load torque limiter system.”The
“maximum load according to the load
chart and the reeving type” is continuously
calculated from the load charts for the current
configuration, the reeving type and the
calculated load.
The actual load and the “maximum load
according to the load chart and reeving” are
compared. When these approach the specified
limits, there is a advance warning. If this limit
is exceeded, the overload stop is triggered,
and any crane movements that are raising the
load torque are switched off.
Connection between components of chassis
and superstructure is done through CAN.

4.2.2 Superstructure control system


start-up

After switching on, the superstructure control


system performs a self-test.
First, the connections from the microprocessor
to the monitor are checked. If no errors are
found during the system test, the monitor
shows this image:
1——Operating condition setting
1.1——Operating condition setting: 0: no
setting 1: T 2: TK 3: TVK
1.2——Extension with no boom: activate the
TK operating condition, and then select the
extension length (with no boom) through Key
1.2, as shown in the following figure. The
operating condition of TVK is set accordingly.
2——Jib angle setting: 0: 0° 1:20° 2:40° 3:45°,
and the selected value will be framed with
green light band.
3 ——Support condi ti ons setti ng: th e 3
support conditions can only be activated
under the operating condition of T, namely,
0: full-extending, 1:half-extending and 2:full-
retracting. The support is fixed at full-extending
state under the operating conditions of TK and
TVK. The selected value will be framed with
green light band.
4——Magnification: the magnification can be
selected from 1~16, and the selected value
will be framed with green light band.
5 —— C o u n t e r w e i g h t : t h e r e a r e 6

4.4 Safety Equipment

4.4.1 General

Every time the crane is operated,


the crane operator is required to satisfy
himself about the functionality of the safety
systems.

DANGER: operating the crane with


defective warning and safety systems can
lead to life-threatening accidents!

4.4.2 Spirit levels


To ensure the working safety of the crane, it
must be properly supported on a level load-
bearing surface, and be set up horizontally.

CAUTION: the maximum permitted


deviation from the horizontal position of
the crane is ± 0.5% (± 0.3°).

DANGER: if the crane is n o t


aligned horizontally, it may tip over.

4.4.2.1 Spirit levels on chassis

A support control unit with buttons is attached


to each side of the vehicle for operating the
support, together with an electronic slope
display.

4.4.2.2 Spirit levels on the superstructure

The horizontal alignment of the crane is


displayed in the crane control system both
graphically and numerically.

4-68
Crane Superstructure Operation

4.4.3 Torque control system


The torque control system is a system for
controlling and monitoring mobile cranes.
As well as overload protection there are a
number of application programs that can be
used for controlling and monitoring the crane's
movements, see chapter 4.2.

4.4.3.1 Overload protection


The electronic overload protection switches
off all crane movements that increase the
load torque if the permissible load torque is
exceeded. Only crane movements that reduce
load torque can be made.

WA R N I N G : t h e p r e s e n c e o f
overload protection does not relieve the
crane operator of his duty of care and
attention. Before lifting a load, determine
its approximate weight and centre of
gravity, and with the help of the load chart,
decide whether the crane is in a position to
carry out this job.

DANGER: the overload protection


is a safety mechanism. It must not be used
operationally as a way of switching off
crane movements of any kind.The overload
protection must be adjusted before using
the crane to the current set up condition, in
accordance with the load chart. Only that
way can it fulfil its protective task.
The crane operator must meet his duty of
care and attention, despite the overload
protection.
The overload protection cannot cover all
possible operational conditions.

4.4.3.2 Support program

See chapter 4.2 on control system for support


program introduction.

4.4.4 Wind warning system


The wind warning is displayed through torque
control system operation chart.
If the actual wind speed value exceeds the
displayed maximum value, the “Wind warning”
begins to flash.

DANGER: if crane movements has


not been switched off when actual wind
speed value exceeds the displayed
maximum value. Stop crane operation and
lower the boom immediately.

WARNING: the wind indicator


should be well mounted and connected
(operate normally) under the operation of
sub arm, otherwise, failure in overload
protection system will be displayed.

4.4.5 Hoist limit switch “Hoist top”


The hoist limit switch is intended to prevent
the hook block from colliding with the boom
head. Before every use of the crane, the hoist
limit switch functionality must be checked by
moving the switch weight with the book block.
On activating the hoist limit switch, the crane
movements “Lift”, “Luff down” and “Telescope
out” are switched off.

DANGER: during crane operation,


bypass the hoist limit switch only with the
key switch if a guide is monitoring the
distance between the hook block and the
boom head.
The guide must be in direct contact with
the crane operator.
Carry out any hoist movement with utmost
caution and at minimum speed.
In emergency situations, only an authorized
person may bypass the hoist limit switch.
Do not use the hoist limit switch as an
operational shut off function, otherwise,
the crane may topple over or be destroyed.
4-72
Crane Superstructure Operation
SAC2200

4.4.6 Limit switch winch reeled off


The cam-type limit switch installed in the winch
switches “Winch reel off” off if there are only 3
rope winds remaining on the winch.

DANGER: if the following notes


are not observed, the rope attachment may
be torn out and the load may topple. The
cam-type limit switch must switch off when
there are 3 rope winds remaining on the
winch!
If the hoist rope is spooled up during
assembly, please ensure that the rope
end remains in front of the winch and is
not spooled up over the winch. If the rope
end is pulled over the winch by another
rotation, the cam-type limit switch must be
re-set!

4-73
Crane Superstructure Operation

4.4.7 Emergency off switch


If the EMERGENCY OFF switch 313 is
operated, the motor and the electrical crane
control are switched off. Every movement
carried out can be immediately stopped.

DANGER:only use the EMERGENCY OFF


switch in the event of a clear emergency!
The use of the EMERGENCY OFF switch
for normal operation is not permitted!

4.4.8 Control release


Switches (382 / 385) on the control lever
should be pressed when superstructure is
under operation.

CAUTION: this safety equipment


prevents unintended crane movements by
accidentally touching the master switch
when getting in or out of the cab.

4.4.9 Bypassing

4.4.9.1Bypassing “Luff up if overload


occurs”

If overloading occurs the “Luffing up” crane


movement is disabled, although this is a
load torque-reducing crane movement with a
suspended load.
Crane operation can be carried out freely
when button 369 is held down and control rod
is turned to “luffing up”.

DANGER: never lift a load by


luffing up the boom if, when trying to lift
the load, the hoist gear would be switched
off by the load torque limiter, otherwise,
the crane may topple over.
Only bypass within the limit range if the
overload protection with a freely hanging
load does not report an overload.

Ensure that the superstructure is unpinned


before initiating the turning movement.
- Press button 335 to unpin the superstructure.

DANGER: ensure that there are no


obstacles in the crane slewing area and no
persons in the danger zone. Operator
should give a short warning signal (horn)
before starting a crane movement;
otherwise, fatal injury may occur.

Lean lever(360)towards icon(387)=slewing


table turns left
Lean lever(360)towards icon(389)=slewing
table turns right

CAUTION: crane speed can be


adjusted by deflecting control lever 360,
engine adjusting pedal 301 / brake pedal
302.

DANGER: when slewing with a


load, initiate the turning movement very
carefully, and apply the brakes. Load
shakes if startup or slow movement is
done unevenly, which may cause broken
boom and tipping over of crane.

4.5.5.1 Preselect rotation speed

The load chart manual gives the maximum


rotation speeds in percentages.

WARNING: the maximum rotation


speed depends on the boom length and the
operation mode, and must under no
circumstances be exceeded.

WARNING: the maximum rotation


speed can not be modified after the startup
of crane.
The basic principle is that with a longer
boom and a heavier load, the crane should
be operated at lower speed.

4.5.5.2 Slewing gear generally

The operation of slewing gear is realizes


through parking brake. It means that the
braking effect starts as soon as control lever
360 is moved towards the neutral position
while released as soon as it is moved away
from the neutral position.

C A U TION : t he pa r k ing br a k e
operates automatically, if:
- Engine is shut off,
- Open parking brake through button 367
- Parking brake can be shut off through
button 367.
- Pedal 302 can be taken as slewing
retarder.

CAUTION: the parking brake can


not be switched off in these situations:
- Slewing gear switched off by the sliding
beam monitoring.
- There exists limitation from worksite.

1. Switching slewing gear to freewheel


Slewing gear is switched to freewheel and
the boom can be positioned over the load
more easily through button 381. Do not rotate
control lever 360 during this operation.

DANGER:if superstructure slews


unintentionally to the side (for example
because of wind), following steps should
be taken:

- Do not release foot switch 381.


- Crane will stop abruptly if button 381 is
released and destruction to crane will be
caused by shaking load from this operation.
- Move lever 360 in slewing direction and
then release button 381. Brake the slewing
movements by slowly resetting lever 360.

2. Applying slewing gear brake


Crane is equipped with extra pedal 302 to
brake slewing gear. When turning against
the wind in strong sidewinds and a long
boom system, the superstructure moves in
the opposite direction because of leakage in
the hydraulic motor. Such condition can be
solved by operating slewing gear brake 302
and move lever 360 to the desired slewing
direction, or slowly releasing the slewing gear
brake 302 until the superstructure turns in the
desired slewing direction.

The slewing gear brake must only be used at


minimal slewing speeds, in other words with
lever almost at the neutral position. It can only
be applied in the following conditions:

1. Driving in strong sidewinds


Operate slewing gear brake 302 and move
lever 360 to the desired slewing direction.
Slowly release the slewing gear brake 302
until the superstructure turns in the desired
slewing direction.

2. Stopping the slewing movement in strong


sidewinds
Decelerate the crane with lever 360 at minimal
rotation speed.
Apply slewing gear brake 302 carefully, until
the crane has come to a stop at the desired
position.

CAUTION: slewing gear brake can


not be used as extra slewing brake;
otherwise, slewing brake, slewing gear and
slewing support may all be damaged.

DANGER: if foot brake is applied


with lever at neutral position to decelerate
crane, the crane may be damaged by
overload from this operation.

2. Telescopic boom control system

The automatic telescopic boom control system


consists of:
- the dual action telescoping cylinder
- the hydraulically operated gripper pinning
- the hydraulically operated boom pins
- the electrically controlled sensor system

In the telescoping screen the crane operator


can see, in dynamic graphics, the pinning
state of the telescopic boom, the position of
the individual telescopes in relation to each
other, and the boom status of the telescoping
cylinder.

With the automatic telescoping procedure,


the crane operator can easily telescope
the telescoping boom, as he does not
have to concern himself with the pinning or
unpinning of the telescoping cylinder or the
telescope. The telescoping control system
therefore makes possible very straightforward
telescoping; only the desired telescoping
targets need to be entered into the system.

The telescoping control system decides the


sequence in which the individual telescopes
will be moved in order to achieve the desired
end state. After setting the desired telescoping
targets, all telescoping movements, as well
as locking and unlocking, are carried out fully
automatically.

The following procedures are carried out by


the system:
- locking and unlocking of the telescoping
cylinders
- pinning and unpinning of the telescopes
- sequence of events for the telescopes to be
telescoped, in order to achieve the desired
end state

This automatic process will however only be


carried out as long as the lever is operated.

4-94
Crane Superstructure Operation
SAC2200

The lever determines the direction and the


speed of the telescoping movement. In this
way the crane operator has continuous control
over the crane.

The direction of the cylinder movement is set


by the superstructure control system.

3. Telescoping
The superstructure control system displays the
direction in which the next telescoping must
be done, and the lever must also be pressed
to correspond to this direction setting.

CAUTION:there is no direct
connection between the direction of
movement of lever and cylinder when
telescopic cylinder is running.

As illustrated in instruction program, it is


possible to move to a telescope target
automatically without an operating screen. It is
therefore also not essential to keep watching
the monitor all the time.

If the direction needs to be changed by the


master switch, the telescopic boom remains
stationary if the current direction is to be
maintained. This also means that the master
switch must be moved in the other direction.
If there is no further movement in the other
direction, this means that the telescope target
has been reached.

CAUTION:the telescoping
operation can be done manually or
automatically.

3. Telescoping to the selected target


If the desired telescoping target is set, then
the direction in which the lever 360 must be
deflected is displayed on the operating screen
and on the telescoping screen.

Up arrow appearing in the automatic icon =


telescopic boom is telescoped out
Down arrow appearing in the automatic icon =
telescopic boom is telescoped in

CAUTION:if the master switch is


moved against the specified direction, the
telescope remains stationary. The default
direction remains visible as a possible
error criterion.

If the set telescoping target has been reached,


then the telescopic boom remains stationary,
regardless of any movements of the lever,
and the markings on the set telescoping
target begin to flash. The target has thus been
reached.

4. Aborting telescoping
Telescoping can be aborted at any time.
The pins, the telescoping cylinders and the
telescopes remain where they were, in the
last state they were in when the lever was still
being pressed.
It is also possible to proceed manually by
switching over to manual operation.
If desired, a new telescoping target can be set
and telescoped to automatically.

is handed over. Your crane operators will be
professionally trained in line with their level of
knowledge, and we devote much time to this.

We also train your workshop staff in all crane-


specific matters, because we know that they
can deal with more than just minor repairs
themselves. Often there are specialists who
can quickly and reliably carry out crane
repairs.

We also have Enterprise Control Center (ECC)


which can help you to fix your on-site problems
creatively. This contact by telephone saves
time and money. In the event of problems, get
in touch as soon as possible.

7.1.2 Cleaning and care of the crane

7.1.2.1 Instructions for sound damping


(soundproofing)

Sound damping in the area of engines and


other noise sources is an integral part of
construction. It is your task to limit the noise
generation of vehicles and the sound level in
the workplace to the legally prescribed values,
working on sound damping parts and the
design of the equipment. They are therefore
integral parts of the equipment. They must
not be removed, and if damaged, must be
replaced by original replacement parts.

They have been designed to be "maintenance-


free". They have been equipped with surfaces
that repel dirt, oil and water. They are fire-
resistant and some of them are fireproof.

For these reasons, these parts need


minimal care. Any small dirt deposits can be
disregarded, as the acoustic effectiveness of
the parts is not reduced.

Tools with sharp edges are not suitable. Steam


cleaners can be used with extreme caution,
always maintain sufficient distance with the
steam jet and use low water pressure. Do not
use solvents for cleaning.

Soiling with solvents, and large amounts of oil


(motor oil, gear oil or hydraulic fluid) or fuels,
is dangerous, as these can easily catch fire.
Fire will severely degrade the behavior of the
sound damping materials.

7.1.2.2 Care instructions for the driver's


cab and the crane cab

The steering wheel, center console, dashboard


cover, floor cover, and dirty upholstery in the
driver's cab and the crane cab should only be
cleaned with warm water mixed with a little
dish washing liquid.
Do not use any scouring agents.

7.1.3 Taking the crane out of service for


job interruption


CAUTION!
Risk of corrosion to the hydraulic
cylinders!
Dismantle the crane if it will be out of
operation for a long period of time.
The hydraulic cylinders (support cylinders,
luffing cylinder, and telescoping cylinder)
may corrode in aggressive environmental
conditions, for example in coastal locations
where the air is especially salty.
Dismantle the crane!
Fully retract the hydraulic cylinders on the
crane!
Protect exposed sections of the piston rod
to prevent corrosion, such as applying
grease to these sections!
In particular, grease exposed sections of
the piston rod of the luffing cylinder!

7.4 Crane Chassis Maintenance


Guidelines

7.4.1 Driving motor

Under no circumstances must fuel lines be


stepped on during maintenance or repair work!

DANGER: FIRE!
Ensure that the engine area is kept free of
diesel fuel!
Extreme cleanliness is vital, particularly
during filter changes and deaerating. Wipe
up any spilled fuel!
When changing the filter it is advisable to
put down some waste wool before undoing
the filter to pick up fuel.

7.4.1.1 Engine oil

1. Checking the oil level


Ensure that the following prerequisites are
met:
the crane is horizontal.

the engine has been turned off and the oil has
collected in the oil sump.
-Remove and wipe off oil dipstick.
-Re-insert dipstick and pull out again.
The oil level must be between the Min. and
Max. marks on the oil dipstick.
-Check oil level.

CAUTION: danger of damaging


the engine!
If the oil level has dropped below the
Minimum mark, top up engine oil as shown
in the lubrication chart until the oil level
is between the Minimum and Maximum
marks.
Top up engine oil and check again.
-Re-insert oil dipstick.

2. Changing the oil

-Release excess pressure.
-Remove sealing cap.
-Check the coolant level.
Top up water cooler equalizing reservoir with
coolant as shown in lubrication chart, always
using filler neck.
-Top up with coolant if required.

7.4.1.3 AIR FILTER


The air filter is monitored electrically. If the
vacuum in the intake pipe has increased
because of soiled air filter units, the warning
light 183 in the cab display unit illuminates.

7.4.1.4 Turbocharger

Precaution for operation


Check whether the fixed screw and support bolt on turbocharger have been tightened.
Before start Check whether there is enough fuel for the diesel engine crank case.
Check whether there is crack or break-off on the intake or return oil pipelines.
Idle the starter for 2-3 times (10s for each time) to rotate the diesel engine, then restart the
During start
engine after the turbocharger has been fully lubricated by lubricating oil.

Make sure there is 3min left for idling before start, then accelerate the engine after the
turbocharger has been fully lubricated. (For the vehicle with turbocharger, never move it once
after start; do accelerate step by step but not sharply.)
During
operation The idling period for diesel engine should never exceed 10min.
Never shut down the running diesel engine sharply, otherwise, the turbocharger shaft may be
stuck with shaft sleeve caused by the cut-off of engine oil.

Before
Normalize the temperature and speed of engine by idling it for 3min.
shutdown
The lubricating oil should be clean without any foreign matter, of good-quality and indefectible.

Others For the new diesel engine or turbocharger, before start, do fill it with 50~60ml engine oil by
removing the pipeline joints, to effectively avoid the burnout of bearing at the moment of start
caused by oil starvation.

7-28
Maintenance and Service
SAC2200

Daily maintenance

Check whether there is any abnormal noise or severe vibration from the turbocharger.
Inspection method: after the shutdown of diesel engine, inspect the after-running of runner
through hearing. Generally, the period from the shutdown of engine to the stop of runner is
not less than 5s, otherwise, inspection should be conducted immediately.

Daily The temperature from the air compressor impeller end (cold end) and the housing should
inspection not be over high.
There should not be leakage from pipeline and joints.
Always keep the breather on crank case smooth, otherwise, with the increasing pressure on
crank case; the leakage of turbocharger may occur caused by the low back-flow velocity of
lubricating oil.
Regularly check the amount, quality of engine oil, besides, to guarantee the high-purity of it,
replace the deteriorated one timely and clean or replace the filter. Generally, the engine oil
and filter core should be replaced every 1500km (for break-in period), and every 10000km
Periodical (after break-in period).
inspection
Always keep the air-inlet pipeline on turbocharger clean and leakproof. The air filter core
should be replaced every 2 years or periodically based on mileage. Regularly check the
leakproofness of the systems of air-inlet and exhaust.

Replace the hydraulic oil once changes
appear on oil color (the color except for brown
is unacceptable).
When oil color appears milk white: once oil
color appears milk white because of mixture
with water, keep the sampling oil into some
long transparent container: if some percent of
upper liquid above the oil appears transparent
after 24hs, it indicates that the oil has been
mixed with water and should be replaced
immediately.
Filtrate or replace hydraulic oil according to
JB/T9737.3-2000 once pollutant is found.

③ Hydraulic oil mode: Great Wall Abrasion


Resistance (no dust) 6146 (with a NAS8

2. Hose system maintenance


- It is advisable to check all hoses, hose
systems and screw-in connections daily, but at
least every two weeks for leaks and external
signs of damage.
- Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately! Oil spray can lead to injuries and
fires!
- Hydraulic lines and hoses must not be
repaired!
- Hoses that have already been used in a
hose system must not be re-installed in hose
systems.
- Always use original SANY spare parts when
replacing hoses and hose systems.
- Always ensure that the hoses are free of
torsion when routing. If high-pressure hoses
are being used, attach screw of clamps or full
flange at both ends of hose and then tighten.
- When using high-pressure hoses with a bent
fitting, tighten the end with the bent fitting first
when tightening the flanges, then the end with
the straight fitting.
- Only then must any fastening clamps in the
middle of the hose be attached and tightened.
- Route the hoses such that chafing
with other hoses or other structures is
prevented. Maintain a minimum clearance
of approximately ½ the outer diameter of the
hose from other parts. The clearance must
never be less than 10 to 15 mm.

3. Replacing the hose systems

DANGER: risk of fire or accident!


Failure to replace hose systems at
appropriate intervals can cause serious
injury to persons, death or damage to
property.
!Replace hose systems at appropriate
intervals!

This must be documented in the crane's


inspection log by the expert or the authorized
inspector.
The service life of a hose system may not
exceed six years; including a storage period
of a maximum of two years (observe the
manufacturing date on the hoses). The
duration of use can also be defined by the
expert or authorized inspector in accordance
with existing test and empirical data in the
individual application areas taking the usage
conditions into consideration.

7.5.3 Central lubricating system

The crane superstructure is equipped with


a central lubrication system. All lubricating
points (refer to the guide on the left), the roller
slewing ring, the bearing of the articulated
piece, the bearings of the luffing cylinder
and the hoisting winches are automatically
supplied with the correct grease quantity. If
the crane has not been moved for more than
3 months, it must be greased at 3-monthly
intervals using an external greasing pump until
grease exits from all greasing points. Then the
relevant crane movement must be repeated
several times and the greasing procedure
repeated.
Pump operation period: 6 cycles
Turn signals: 3 hours

CAUTION!
! Cleaning in cleaning plants or with a
steam cleaner is permitted!

8. CRANE INSPECTIONS
8.1 Periodic Inspection

General:
This crane was tested at the manufacturer's
facilities prior to shipment in accordance with
the latest ISO, FEM and DIN Standards and
VGB9 (ZH1/21).

The safety level achieved during initial


commissioning may not be attainable during
operation.Examples of the root cause of
such deviations include; e.g., wear and
tear, corrosion, effects of forced operations,
changes in the environment and changes to
the mode of operation.

The operator is responsible for taking the


necessary steps to ensure that the maximum
level of safety is maintained. After it has been
licensed, the crane operator must have the
crane inspected by a competent inspector,
as necessary. The inspection frequency
varies with the application situations and the
operating conditions, but the minimum interval
is one year. See also: ISO 9927-1, EU89/655,
and VBG9.

The crane must be inspected by an authorized


inspector every four years after it has been
licensed. After the 12th year of operation,
the crane must be inspected annually by an
authorized inspector.

WARNING!
There is a risk of weakening the supporting
components when major changes or
repairs are made to the crane!
! In such cases, the operator must have the
crane inspected by a competent inspector
before putting it back into service.

8-2
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

Respective local regulations also apply.

A competent inspector is someone who


has a thorough understanding of cranes
based on technical training and experience
and is knowledgeable about the relevant
national occupational safety regulations,
OSH regulations, and accident prevention
regulations and generally accepted
engineering principles and is able to assess
that the crane is safe to operate.

An authorized inspector is someone who


is experienced in design, manufacture and
maintenance of crane. They carry out check
on equipments with special tools to ensure the
crane is safe for future operation.

Periodic inspection is principally a visual


inspection, wherein the inspector (either type)
appraises the condition of the crane and its
components.

The purpose of the inspections is to prevent


accidents by detecting deficiencies in a timely
fashion. Any deficiencies determined by the
inspectors must be documented, corrected,
and subsequently reinspected.

8-3
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

A number of important examples of items that


are particularly important during the periodic
crane inspections are listed in the following:
We wish to advise that the two different types
of inspectors take sole responsibility for the
inspections that they carry out. This chapter
does not necessarily cover the entire scope of
the inspections.

A checklist for periodic inspections


recommended for SANY vehicles and crawler
cranes is included in the appendix to assist the
inspectors.

If the inspector has any questions they should


be directed to SANY Mobile Cranes’ technical
department.

DANGER!
! Adhere to the following inspection
guidelines and intervals.

8-4
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

8.1.1 Steel bearing structures


inspection

Steel bearing components such as telescopic


booms, turntables, chassis, outrigger
equipment (e.g., sliding beams or movable
stanchions) must be carefully inspected, at the
very least during the annual recommended
crane inspections. Even though weld joints
are not normally situated at maximum load
locations, it is nevertheless important that they
be inspected with particular care during the
periodic inspections.

Please refer to DIN 15018, Part 3, Item 1,


which shows the stress tolerances for high
tensile fine grained steel when used for steel
support structures. This determines the design
life of the steel support structures. The life is
not determined solely by the number of stress
cycles. It also depends on the loads applied
during operation (duty cycle).

SANY cranes are designed for assembly


operation. The design is based on the
following theoretical values (DIN 15018, Part
3):
Duty cycle: SO (light)
Stress cycles: 25 000

8-5
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

Therefore, the load-bearing steel components


and the weld joints require thorough appraisal
by the authorized inspector during the
specified periodic inspections.

If the crane was subjected to excessive


operating loads; e.g., due to an unusual
impact, the load-bearing components must be
inspected immediately.

If damage (e.g., cracks) are apparent in any


part of the steel structure, the total extent of
the damage must be determined by qualified
specialists using appropriate material test
methods; e.g., magnetic crack detection,
ultrasound or x-rays. The specialists should
then advise whether or not the damaged area
can be repaired by welding or other means.

The following diagrams are samples of the


load-bearing weld designs. The welds or steel
structural zones that require inspection may
be present more than once and in various
forms. The joints or zones must be inspected
all around at the locations identified by arrows.

CAUTION!
! The scope and extent of all inspections
remain the sole responsibility of the

8.1.1.1 Repair welds

If defects such as cracks or permanent


deformation are detected on load-bearing
steel components, they should be immediately
reported to SANY Customer Service
Department.

Furthermore, the defect must immediately


be appraised by an authorized inspector in
accordance with standard welding practice
rules. The inspector must immediately
ascertain whether or not the crane can
continue to be operated safely until the time of
the repair.

8.1.1.2 Inspection of the disk wheels (rims)

The wheels, and therefore the rims, are


important vehicle safety related components.
The rim construction is a welded steel
design and must be tested in accordance
with paragraph 1, “Testing load-bearing steel
structures”.

Furthermore, compliance is required with


Chapter 7.4, “Maintenance recommendations
for the crane chassis”, the paragraph “Safety
and maintenance recommendations for disk
wheels (rims)”.

In addition, disk rims must be inspected for


cracks on both the outside and the inside, at
the very least during the annually specified
crane inspection. We recommend using the
dye check method. Immediately replace any
rims that show evidence of cracks or crack
formation.

After driving a maximum of 40,000 km, the


operator shall routinely inspect the rims,
regardless of the actual duty cycle they were
exposed to.

In particular, the rims should be inspected


for cracks that are developing in the basic
material, as well as at the locations indicated
by the arrows.

8.1.2 Inspecting the hoist and luffing


winches

The hoist and luffing winches are designed


using integrated planetary gears. The
gearboxes are sized for long life and the
drive shafts and gear wheels are rated for
endurance.

Even though the hoist and luffing winches


are designed for long life, an external visual
inspection is not adequate, since their life can
be significantly affected by bad maintenance
(insufficient oil), using oil that does not meet
specification requirements, defective seals,
improper operation or overloading. The
inspection must therefore be carried out by a
competent inspector in accordance with the
following requirements.

8-15
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

8.1.2.1 Inspections

(1) Inspection intervals


1000 hours of operation, minimum once per
year.

(2) Inspecting oil level


Check oil level. For hoist and luffing winches,
we recommend that the oil be drained and the
amount compared to the specified oil quantity.

(3) Evaluating oil color


Assume that the oil has been overheated if it
is black and/or a burnt oil smell is detected.
Change the oil.

(4) Checking for foreign substances


This inspection should be carried out by
a qualified laboratory. The used oil shall
be dribbled onto the specified woven filter
medium. Visual inspection using a magnifying
glass may reveal coarse particles.
If particles are detected, all the oil's properties
must be examined by a qualified laboratory.

(5) Evaluation of foreign substances found in


the oil
A qualified laboratory shall be used to assess
the oil.
The maximum permissible quantity of foreign
material measured by weight is 0.15% of
total oil weight. Maximum permissible foreign
particle size from fine abrasion is 0.25
microns.
If above values are exceeded, the gearbox
must be dismantled to determine the root
cause of the excessive abrasion. Damaged
components shall be replaced and the gearbox
refilled with fresh oil.

WARNING!
! Repairs may only be carried out by
specialists with appropriate equipment
knowledge.

8-16
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

(6) Visual inspection


The gearboxes shall be checked for leakage,
since loss of oil, in addition to polluting the
environment, can lead to gearbox failure.

(7) Inspecting the gearbox brakes


Check the brakes each time the gearboxes
are inspected.
If the brakes cannot hold the specified test
load of 33% rope tension increase on a single
rope strand and fully spooled drum, they
shall be dismantled to determine the cause.
Whenever a planetary gearbox is dismantled
because of increased abrasion, the brakes
shall also be inspected.

CAUTION!
! Only qualified personnel with specialized
knowledge shall be used to assess
gearboxes and brakes.

(8) Documenting the completed inspection and


tests
The results of the annual inspections and
maintenance work, including the steps taken,
shall be documented by the competent or
authorized inspector, including attachments
from the inspection labs and qualified service
companies if any.
This documentation shall be filed in the crane
inspection log under the heading "Periodic
inspections".

8-17
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

8.1.2.2 Requirements for monitoring the


winches

(1) Design life


The designer of crane used a theoretical total
operating time when designing and sizing the
winches. This resulted in the design life of the
equipment.
Crane winches are classified according to DIN
technical report1, ISO 4301/1 or
FEM 9.511 as follows:
Power train group: M3(1Bm)
Duty cycle: Q1(L1)
Duty cycle factor Km: 0.125
Design life D: 3200h

CAUTION!
! The “design life” is not equal to the real
(true) life of a winch!

The actual life of the winch is affected by many


additional outside factors; for example:
- Overloads caused by unapproved use of the
crane
- Inadequate maintenance: oil is not changed
in a timely manner
- Improper operation:
• Extreme acceleration or braking of the load
• Load falling onto the cables
- Improper maintenance:
• Using the wrong type of oil
• Too much or too little oil
• Contamination during oil changes
- Assembly errors during repair and
maintenance
- Undetected leakage
- Incorrectly set safety devices
- Hidden damage from accidents
- Extreme environmental conditions:
• Extreme temperatures
• Corrosive atmosphere
• Dust and dirt

8-18
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

(2) Actual usage component of the design life


The crane operator is obligated to carry out
an inspection of the crane at least once a year
(ISO 9927-1 and VBG8).

At this time, the actual usage component of


the design life shall be calculated. If necessary,
the crane operator shall subcontract this work
to an authorized inspector.

The actual operating conditions (duty


cycle) and the winch operating hours at
each inspection interval are required to
determine the proportion of the design life
that has actually been used. The operator
is responsible for maintaining the crane
inspection log documentation.

Determining the operating conditions (duty


cycle)
The duty cycle of the crane is classified into
two groups. Refer to DIN technical report 1,
ISO 4301/1 or FEM 9.511.
One of the following duty cycles shall be
selected and recorded in the crane inspection
log for the respective inspection interval
based on knowledge of the actual operating
conditions.

CAUTION!
Duty cycle L1 (Q1) with duty cycle factor
Km = 0.125 is normally applied to mobile
cranes used for assembly operations.

Determining the effective operating hours Ti


The effective operating hours calculated
using the following method shall be entered
into crane inspection log for the respective
inspection interval.
There are four different scenarios:

1.) Elapsed time meter installed on every


winch
If an elapsed time meter is installed on every
winch, the effective operating hours Ti can be
read directly during each inspection.

2.) Elapsed time meter installed for the overall


crane drive
The winch proportion of the total
superstructure operating hours must be
estimated.
For mobile cranes used in assembly
operations, the operating time for the hoist
winches can be estimated at 20% of the total
operating hours of the superstructure.

3.) One elapsed time meter is used for both


the crane engine and the crane drive
The winch proportion of the total crane
operating hours must be estimated.
For mobile cranes used in assembly
operations, the operating time for the
superstructure can be estimated at 60% of the
total operating hours of the crane. If the hoist
winch proportion is estimated at 20% of the
superstructure operating hours (see previous
item), the resulting hours as a percent of the
total crane operating hours is: 12%.

4.) No elapsed time meter installed


In this case the operator must estimate and
document the actual operating hours of the
winch. The approximate percentages stated
above normally apply to main hoist winches.
For auxiliary hoist winches or luffing winches,
the proportion of the total operating hours can
be significantly less and should therefore be
estimated by the operator.

8-21
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

Determining the actual usage proportion of the


design life
For an inspection interval i (max. 1 year
according to ISO 9927-1 or VBG 8), the
actually used proportion Si of the design life is
given by the following formula:
Si=( Kmi/Km )*Ti
Km = duty cycle factor that was used to select
the winch ratings. This factor is given in the
operating manual.
Kmi = duty cycle factor for inspection interval
i according to Chapter “Determining the
operating conditions”
Ti = effective operating hours for inspection
interval i according to Chapter “Determining
the effective operating hours Ti ”

The actually used hours proportion is


subtracted from the remaining design life Di
after each inspection interval (see example).
If the remaining design life is not long enough
to cover the next projected operating period, a
general overhaul of the winch is required.
If the design life D has been reached (see
chapter on “Design life”), the winch may only be
operated after conducting a general overhaul.

A general overhaul of the winch is required not


later than 10 years after commissioning.
The general overhaul shall be arranged
by the operator and carried out by the
manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorized
representatives and must be documented in
the inspection log.
After the general overhaul, the manufacturer or
the manufacturer's authorized representative
will define a new design life D.

8-22
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

In such a case, the crane authorized inspector


must thoroughly inspect the winch. This
comprises at least:
Outer visual inspection (leakage, damage,
deformation, etc.)
Oil inspection, particularly looking for metal
residues
Load test at minimum and maximum cable
tension, at maximum speed in both cases. At
least one layer shall be spooled. Pay particular
attention to any unusual noises during the load
test.
The crane's authorized inspector must confirm
this inspection in the crane inspection log and
must make a statement regarding suitability
of the winch for continued operation. The next
inspection shall take place at the end of the
12th operating year, and thereafter annually.

(3) Example
According to the manufacturer's operating
manual, a mobile crane with a separate
elapsed time meter for the crane engine and
the crane drive is classified as follows:
Power train group: M3
Duty cycle: light L1, Km=0.125
Design life: D = 3200h

8-23
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

Actual usage proportion S of the design life


is calculated using the individual inspection
intervals as follows:

First inspection (year 1)


The crane was used for assembly work during
the elapsed year:
Duty cycle L1; i.e., Km1 = 0.125.
The superstructure elapsed time meter
indicates 800 hours. The winch operated
about 20% of the time; i.e., T1 = 160.
The actual usage proportion S of the design
life at the time of the first inspection is
therefore:
S1 = (0.125/0.125)×160h = 160h
Remaining design life:
D1 = 3200 – 160 = 3040 h
The above values shall be recorded in the
crane inspection log.

Second inspection (year 2)


The crane was used at a harbor for unloading
work:
Duty cycle L3; i.e., Km2 = 0.5.
The superstructure elapsed time meter
indicates 2000 hours; i.e., during this period:
2000 h – 800 h = 1200 h (800 h were used
during the first year of operation)
The winch operated about 40% of the time;
i.e., T2 = 480 h.
The actual usage proportion S2 of the design
life at the time of the second inspection is
therefore:
S2 = (0.5/0.125) ×480 = 1920h
Remaining design life:
D2 = 3040 – 1920 = 1120h

8-24
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

Third inspection (year 3)


The crane was used for assembly work and
occasionally at a harbor for unloading work:
Duty cycle L2; i.e., Km3 = 0.25.
The superstructure elapsed time meter
indicates 3000 hours; i.e., during this period:
3000 h – 2000 h = 1000 h (2000 h were used
during the first two years of operation) The
winch operated about 30% of the time; i.e., T3
= 300 h.
The actual usage proportion S3 of the design
life at the time of the third inspection is
therefore:
S3 = (0.25/0.125) ×300 = 600h
Remaining design life:
D3 = 1120 – 600 = 520h
The above values are kept in test charts.

8.1.3 Inspection of the load hooks

The load hooks must be inspected annually by


a competent inspector.

The purpose of the inspections is to avoid


accidents by detecting deficiencies in a timely
fashion. Any deficiencies determined by the
inspector must be documented, corrected, and
subsequently reinspected.

8-26
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

8.1.3.1 Inspection and monitoring


procedure

(1) Deformation
The hook should be inspected for distortion as
required and measure at the hook jaw at least
once a year. The jaw distortion should neither
exceed 10% of the original dimensions nor
exceed (y1) and (y2).

DANGER!
Hook jaw distortion may not exceed 10% of
the original dimensions (y) or (y1) and (y2).
! Do not use a load hook that exhibits
greater distortion.
! Advise the SANY Customer Service
Department.

CAUTION!
The original value “y”, “y1” or “y2” are
given on the hook itself. Carry out measure
between the punch marks as shown in
graph.

(2) Corrosion
Unscrew the nut from the hook shank so that
the threads can be inspected for corrosion and
wear and tear.

DANGER!
Risk of accidents caused by thread
corrosion / wear and tear!
! Stop using the load hook.
! Advise the SANY Customer Service
Department.

8.1.8 Inspecting the cable pulleys

8.1.8.1 Inspect the entire cable pulley


assemblies for damage and cracks once a
year

If cable pulleys are subjected to any impacts


(e .g ., w i th b u i l d i n gs) or a re o th e r w i s e
overloaded, they must be immediately visually
inspected for damage or cracks.

DANGER!
Risk of accident when damaged or
cracked!
! Replace cable pulley as soon as possible.

8.1.8.2 Also check for wear on the rope


groove

8-30
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

8.1.11 Inspecting the mounting of the


load bearing equipment

Check that the mounting bolts for the roller


slewing ring, winches, slewing gears and hitch
are properly seated.

8.1.11.1 Slewing ring connection mounting


bolts are pre-stressed at the factory, so
that no loosening of the bolted connections
will occur during normal crane operation

However, the bolted connection may become


overloaded and the bolts may be permanently
stretched if the crane is overloaded or if a
fixed load is pulled free.
It is therefore important to check these bolts
for proper seating during the annual crane
inspection or after an overload has occurred.
Completely remove loose bolts, plus the two
adjacent ones, and immediately check for
damage.
Inspect the bolts, particularly for cracks or
permanent distortion.
Replace any bolts that have stretched more
than 0.2% (referred to their original length) or
that have cracks or other damage. If any bolts
have stretched or are otherwise damaged,
also replace the two adjacent bolts.

8.1.12 Inspecting the oil and fuel


reservoirs

Oil and fuel reservoirs shall be inspected at


least once a year and checked all around for
leakage during the periodic inspections every
four years.
Repairs shall only be carried out by trained
and knowledgeable specialists.
Improper repairs; e.g., welding, hard or soft
soldering is not permitted, particularly if the
Customer Service Department at SANY has
not been consulted!

8.1.13 Inspection of the auxiliary


reeving winch, towing winch and spare
wheel winch

certified by the road traffic department certification authority. For mobile cranes that are not

certified for use on public roads, a competent


or authorized inspector must conduct the
required tests to validate the vehicle's
roadworthiness (see also UVV (vehicles)”
(VBG112)).
2) These inspections must be carried out by a
competent inspector even if it has passed the
road traffic department test and is certified.
3) Inspection of the winches with respect to
the actually used proportion of their design life.

8.2 Inspection of Crane Wire


Ropes

DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury due to defective
crane ropes!
! Do observe the following criteria.

The rope should be considered to be a


wearing part of a crane that must be replaced
if checking shows that its strength has reduced
to such an extent that continued use thereof
may be dangerous. Regular checking of the
rope is required in order to safely carry loads
using correctly deployed equipment, meaning
that the rope must be stop being used at an
appropriate point in time.
The take-down criteria with regard to rope
breaks, wear, corrosion and deformation
can be applie immediately under all usage
conditions. The different factors are dealt
with in ISO 4309, which is intended to serve
as a guideline to competent experts who are
involved in maintaining and testing cranes.
The criteria that are dealt with are intended
to provide appropriate safety for transporting
loads with cranes until the rope is taken down.

Wire rope
Condition before installing
The rope is usually replaced with a rope that
is of the same type as the original. If the spare
part is of another type, the user must ensure
that the rope characteristics are at least as
good as those of the rope that was taken
down.
Before installing a new wire rope the grooves
of the rope drums and pulleys must be
checked in order to ensure that they can
accommodate the spare part correctly (see
section entitled “Checking”).

8-43
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

Installing
When the rope is removed from the spool
or unwound from a reel, it must be ensured
that the rope is not twisted, otherwise loops,
reverse bends or kinks may occur.
If the rope is reeled over any part of the
system when it is not under strain, these areas
must be protected accordingly.
Before starting to use the rope on the system
the user must ensure that all components
that are functionally associated with the rope
have been set up in such a way that they will
operate correctly. The crane should be used
for lifting at approximately 10% of the normal
load in order to stabilise the rope.

Maintenance
The ropes are maintained depending on the
type of crane, the deployment thereof, the
environment and the type of rope that is used.
Unless other instructions from the crane or
rope manufacturer apply, wherever possible
the rope should be cleaned and lubricated with
grease or oil, particularly in areas in which the
rope is subjected to bending when it runs over
pulleys.
The lubricant that is used must be suitable for
steel ropes.
Lack of maintenance will reduce the service
life of the rope, particularly if the crane is used
in a corrosive environment and if re-lubricating
is not possible because of the nature of the
respective deployment of the crane.

8-44
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

Checking
Frequency
Daily checking
If possible, all visible parts of the ropes must
be checked for general wear and deformation
on every working day. Special attention must
be made to the rope end connections. Any
suspected changes in the condition of the rope
must be reported and the rope checked by a
trained expert in accordance with the section
entitled “Points to check on the rope”.
In the event that the lower rope lays on the
drum are used infrequently or not at all,
periodically unwind and rewind the entire drum
at the appropriate tension. A rope is most cost-
effective when the entire length is used. An
appropriate rope length should therefore be
used when operating the crane over longer
periods.

Special checking as described in section


“Points to check on the rope”
The rope must be checked after any events
that may have led to damage to the rope and /
or the rope ends and whenever the rope starts
to be used again after being taken down and
then re-installed.

Checking the spooling behavior of the rope on


the cable drum
To avoid spooling errors and connected rope
damage, it is necessary to check the spooling
behavior daily. As a precaution, the rope
should be spooled off and on again regularly.

Possible spooling errors:


- Cutting into the lower rope layers
- Loop formation in the lower rope layers

8.2.2 Inspection

The entire length of rope must be regularly


checked especially right after installation.
Besides, detailed inspection should be carried
out in the condition that when rope is under
special stress, invisible damage exists or
damage appears just a short time ago.

The safe use of the rope is assessed in


accordance with the following criteria;
- Number and type of wire breaks (refer to
diagram)
- Broken wire nests
- Rope diameter reduction
- Wear, corrosion and deformation to rope
- Damage causes by the effects of heat
- Total storage time
Apart form the above items, the connection
between the suspended rope and the rope
end should be check periodically, some
individual rope drive components, rope roller
and pulley are supposed to rotate flexibly on
the corresponding installation position and no
visible impression is allowed on the movement
track of rope.

CAUTION!
The channel radius for roller and pulley
should be 0.595×rope rated diameter.
Due attention should be paid on any
change in rope condition.

DANGER!
The serious damage to rope appearing
when rope is reeved with hook is caused
by added rotation stress to non-twisting
ropes, producing special stress and
tension to hoisting rope in heavy load
condition.

NOTICE: Refer to “torque for non-twisting


rope and the cancellation thereof” for
detailed information.

8-47
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

8.2.3 Take-down time

DANGER!
Rope should be taken down if one of the
following problems is found!

- One broken strand


- Wire breaks within a limited range
- The number of broken wire reaches a
specified quantity
- Corkscrew deformation reaches 1/3 of rope
diameter (figure 1)
- Vault (figure 2)
- Hair-shaped wire and wire strand protruding
from rope (figure 3)
- Diameter reduced by 15% or 10% of nominal
- Corrosion and / or wear appears (figure 4)
- Rope appears loose (figure 4)
- Retraction occurs (figure 5)
- Reeling and Compression occurs (figure 6 +
8)
- Deformation occurs (figure 7)

Find out and remedy the faults before


replacing the rope once special damage is
found.
Take the damage and wear on crane as
important evidence.

WARNING!
Stop crane operation and turn to
authorized person once any doubt exists in
safe operation of the crane.

8.3 Inspection on Crane Rope

8.3.1 Rope storage

DANGER!
Replace the original rope with a one of the
same type and diameter.
It is a must to gain crane manufacturer’s
permission if a rope of other type is to be
applied.

Clean, dry rope storage facilities must be


provided in order to prevent damage to ropes
that are not in use; it must also be ensured that
the ropes can be clearly and unambiguously
assigned to their checking logs.

The rope can only operate normally with under


reel-free and damage-free conditions.

8-51
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

8.3.1.1 Reeving

The rope can be directly reeved on drum shaft


and rolled objects (figure 1).
Do not reeve the rope sideways for stress
from such operation may damage the rope.
The best way to reeve the rope is to reeve the
rope onto the strain shaft from a hoisted drum
shaft (figure 2).
Reeve the rope in accordance with the
bending direction thereof, ensuring the rope is
well reeved onto the strain shaft.

WARNING!
Do not tow rope on ground!

Do connect the rope with articulated head to


avoid the rotation of non-twisting rope caused
by external force.
If the rope is reeved into many layers, 1% -2%
of the rope minimum breaking load should be
taken as preloaded force for the lowest layer
of the rope. Such preloaded force can be
obtained through drum brake.
As for composite pulley, the hoisting rope
should be reeved in the same direction as
the way reeved in drum. The rope should be
placed on ground and protected from torsion
when load hook is being reeved.
Test the rope with some light load and retract
it by repeated hoisting operations, making the
rope to switch over between the loaded hook
and unloaded one after the rope has been well
stored. Such operation can adapt the rope to
the bending direction and radius of the pulley
and drum.

8-52
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

8.3.2 Maintenance

The safe operation of the crane can be


ensured and the service life of the rope can
be substantially increased through periodic
maintenance on the rope.
Lubricate the rope especially the corners
on the drum and pulley within some certain
intervals.
The curvature of a well lubricated rope is 4
times than that of the unlubricated rope.
The lubricate grease should be consistent with
the original one.

CAUTION!
The grease recommended by crane
manufacturer should be applied on the
rope, refer to lubrication chart for detailed
information.

Frequently clear the rope with brush.


The wire below the drum is loosened and
restrained with preloaded force if it is of
rare use or even no use. It is suggested to
select the rope length in accordance with the
operation if the crane is to be involved in a
long period’s operation.
If some certain section of the rope is much
more used than other sections, the rope
should be turned over after a period of time
for next use. That is to say, connect the former
head to the drum, taking the new section
under more use while idling the former used
section. Such operation can substantially
increase the service life of the rope.
If wears appear obvious on the rope reeved
on the Lebus drum, the service life of the rope
can be increased by shortening 1/3 of the rope
length.

8-53
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

8.3.2.1 Increase and cancellation of non-


twisting rope torque

Adjust not only the changed torque occurring


during the storage of the new rope but also the
one caused by the recovery of stretching and
configuration after a period’s use.
The torque should be adjusted when pulley
group is under multi-magnification operation,
when load is being lowered and / or external
strand of the rope appears loose, and arch
occurs in serious condition.
It is recommended to install an anti-twist
device on the fixed position of hoisting rope
when crane has operates with a single
magnification for a long period.

WARNING!
The rope may be damaged if the above
item is not complied with.

8.4 Inspection

8.4.1 Adjust rope torque

1. Lower the load hook


Lower the load hooks as possible, adjusting
the rope between head pulley and hook pulley
at the longest length. (torsion, point 4)

2. Determine the rotation direction


Determine the pulley is rotated towards which
direction.
The rotation direction is indicated with real line
arrow in diagram.
Rotate the pulley along the direction of broken
arrow to check for determination on rotation
direction appears difficult especially when
hoisting rope is stretched long. The reeled
rope can be released at last.

3. Release the rope at the fixed position


Release the rope on the fixed points of
hook pulley once the rotation direction is
determined.

CAUTION!
Reeling the hook pulley in odd or even
manner makes it convenient in the torque
adjustment. Under such condition, the
fixed points can easily touch the load hook
and be released.

8-56
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

4. Turn the rope end from the position of 180°


to 360°, adjust the rotation of pulley group.
Mark the rotation adjustment with real line
arrow at rope end.

CAUTION!
It is decisive for the crane operator to hold
the rope in front of him to select correct
reference point.

Reeve in the right-rotating rope (Z) in figure 1


and the left-rotating rope (S) in figure 4. Reeve
out the right-rotating rope (Z) in figure 2 and
the left-rotating rope (S) in figure 3.
The principle for torque adjustment goes like:
the looped rope can be released by rotating
the rope end along the direction apposite the
rotation direction.

WARNING!
The rotating rope should be long as
possible. The rotation of rope can be
realized on the full length of rope through
the unloaded hoisting operation.
The rope configuration may be seriously
damaged if some certain section of rope is
rotated with external force.

8-57
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

5. Connect the rope on the fixed points


It is a must to connect the rope end to the
fixed points and secure after the rope has
been rotated.

6. Carefully hoist the load hook, hoist with no


load, repeat the procedure if necessary.
Since the rope which can not be much
stretched is relatively safe for operation
(normally, the torque will not exceed the pulley
head), carry out hoisting operation with no
load.
Reconnect the rope end to the fixed points and
repeat the unloaded hoisting operation after
the torque adjustment is carried out on rope
end. Such operation can make the adjustment
effect go to the entire rope through the head
pulley.

CAUTION!
When rope is substantially stretched (the
lower pulley has been multi rotated and / or
loose external strands appear on a longer
section of rope or some points), repeat
such procedure in accordance with rope
length if necessary.

the vehicle axles, determine the brake
performance as follows:
z = F1×i1+F2×i2…Fn×in /Gz ×100 [%]
Gz = allowable total vehicle weight [N]
z = brake performance [%]
F1 = brake force of the first axle, which was
determined at pressure P1 [N]
F2 = brake force of the second axle, which
was determined at pressure P2 [N]
Fn = brake force of last axle, which was
determined at pressure Pn [N]
i1 = pN1-0.4 / p1-0.4
in = pNn-0.4 / pn-0.4
pN1…n = max. brake pressure of corresponding
axle [bar]
p 1…n = brake pressure, which is actually
applied into the wheel cylinder at the
corresponding axle [bar], during the brake test

8.5.2.3 Internal inspection of the wheel


brake

CAUTION!
Check the brake pads and the brake disks
in regular intervals, depending on the
vehicle use, during maintenance interval
as well as within the framework of lawful
regulations.
! Check the condition of the brake pads
every 3 months.
! Check the condition of the brake disks

Checking the brake pads!

DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury!
Worn brake pads or brake disks can lead
to a reduction of the brake force or failure
of the wheel brake. This can result in
accidents with fatal injuries.
! Observe the wear limits of the brake pads
and the brake disks!
! Replace worn brake pads or brake disks!
! Replace the wheel brake if significantly
damaged or if the castings are worn (for
example, if they show cracks)!
! Change burnt, slick or oily brake pads as
quickly as possible!
! Always replace all the brake pads on each
axle!
The brake pads are electrically monitored
and can also be optically checked on the
brake pads.

Checking the brake pads electrically


If the warning light 204 on the display unit
lights up, it is a sign that at least one brake
pad on the crane is worn and has reached the
wear limit.
To find the worn brake pad, see chapter 20.20.

DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury in case of worn brake
pads!
As soon as the warning light 204 lights
up, the worn brake pads must be localized
and replaced. If this is not done, the
wheel brake can fail, which can cause
fatal accidents, or the brake disks can be
damaged.
! Replace worn brake pads!
! Perform visual check on brake pads!

8-64
Crane Inspections
SAC2200

DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury in case of worn brake
pads!
Replace brake pads no later than when the
weakest point measures 2 mm of brake
pad thickness over the brake pad carrier
plate. The remaining pad thickness may
not fall below 2 mm. If this is not done,
the wheel brake can fail, which can cause
fatal accidents, or the brake disks can be
damaged.
! Replace worn brake pads!
! If the remaining pad thickness A is less
than 2 mm it is imperative that the brake
pads are replaced.

Checking the brake disks


Checking brake disk wear

DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury!
1. If the brake disk reaches the wear limit

9.1 Application Regulation for the


Overload Protection Devices of
Crane with Telescopic Boom

9.1.1 Inspection procedures

The engine room must be inspected prior to


every operation; i.e., daily Check that all oil
and fuel lines are leak-free and dry. The fuel
filter, oil filter and injection pumps shall also be
inspected for leakage. Every day, check that
the hydraulic equipment, fan drive hydraulic
motors and their supply lines are properly
sealed and do not leak.

Inspect the exhaust system, particularly the


exhaust flanges and exhaust flap retention
straps, and make sure that they seal and move
properly. The return springs that open the
exhaust flaps must function properly, because
seized (therefore closed) exhaust flaps during
engine operation will result in considerable
overheating.

Inspect electrical wiring and ensure that there


is sufficient clearance to hot exhaust system
piping. Ensure that it is properly fastened and
that there is no insulation damage.

9-2
General Notes
SAC2200

To reduce noise emission, noise reducing


mats are installed in the motor and gearbox
rooms for certain types of cranes. These are
very flame-resistant and some, depending on
application, are fireproof.

Inspect the soundproofing mats for soiling


from solutions and large quantities of oil or
fuel, as well as other damage.

Immediately remove any soundproofing mats


that are excessively damaged or soiled and
replace them with new ones.

Observe the care instructions in Chapter 7.1


regarding sound damping when cleaning the
engine or gearbox room.

9-3
General Notes
SAC2200

9.1.2 Exercise care when conducting


maintenance and repairs

Ta k e p a r t i c u l a r p r e c a u t i o n s r e g a r d i n g
cleanliness when replacing diesel and oil
filters. Any diesel fuel or oil that has leaked
shall be completely cleaned up. Perform a test
run on the systems to ensure that there are no
leaks.

The diesel engine V-room must be inspected


regularly, and any oil or diesel fuel must be
cleaned up, particularly after repairs and
servicing. Any fuel that has collected in V-room
can spread throughout the engine room while
the crane is traveling on the road and can
ignite if it comes into contact with hot surfaces.
We again stress that all electrical wiring must
be installed according to code and be properly
fastened. Examine all wiring insulation or
casings for signs of chafing or brittleness as a
result of operational activities. Any wiring that
is not in perfect condition shall be immediately
and professionally replaced. Note that over
the years, fuel and oil lines can become brittle
or porous as they age. Any hoses that appear
to be excessively porous should be replaced
immediately. (Also refer to specifications
regarding the design life of hoses).

It is especially important to note that under no


circumstances may piping and hoses installed
in the engine room be stepped upon during
repairs and servicing. This is particularly
important for injection piping. Protect the
engine with some type of cover (e.g., a board)
if stepping on the hoses is unavoidable during
assembly.

General Notes
SAC2200

9.1.3 Important servicing

To avoid running hot, the drive shafts shall be


regularly lubricated according to specifications
and using roller bearing grease as specified
by SANY.
Regularly inspect the drive shaft bolts and
ensure that they are seated properly.
Check gearbox and engine oil levels regularly.
Add oil as required during normal operation.
If oil consumption or loss is unusually high,
determine the cause and correct.

9.1.4 Maintenance notes for


replacement parts

When replacing drive components such as


the diesel engine, gearboxes or axles, etc., be
sure to refill with the correct type of oil to the
proper fill level. Refer to the nameplate and
lubrication chart to determine the oil type.
Conduct initial maintenance according to
Chapter “Periodic maintenance”; thereafter,
maintain in accordance with the specified
periodic maintenance intervals.

Be sure to adhere to the break-in


specifications.

ground or in any types of waters: wastewater
systems, sewers or groundwater.
Comply with the regulations specified by local
authorities before disposing of any of these
items or substances.
Radiator fluids for diesel engines and heating

9.1.7 Wheel changes

Crane vehicle tires are subjected to differing


loads during operation.
The loads are a function of where the wheels
are installed on the crane; for example,
– nondriven steering and fixed axles
– driven steering and fixed axles
– more lightly or less lightly loaded wheel
positions

Depending on the tire profile, different wear


patterns occur based on where it is located.
Tire rotation is recommended to ensure that all
the vehicle's tires wear uniformly. Tires should
be rotated as soon as uneven wear patterns
are detected. We recommend intervals in the
range of
5,000 km and 10,000 km. Tires should be
rotated in a crosswise pattern (see following
diagrams). The location should also be
selected so that tires that are evenly worn are
installed in locations where the wear pattern is
uneven.
This process has a positive impact on driving
comfort and tire life.

9-7
General Notes
SAC2200

9.1.8 Tire changes


Tires shall only be changed by authorized
specialists. This applies both to dismounting
and mounting of the tire on the wheel disk
(rim).
All rim components shall be cleaned and
inspected for damage! Use a new clamp collar
and O-ring when mounting the tire.

Danger!
Increased risk of accident!
If the clamp collar is not properly installed,
it can be violently ejected when the tire is
inflated!
! Check that the tire, side ring and clamp
collar are properly seated.
