WARNING!
This spreader is equipped with a CAN-BUS type of control system.

The plug connecting the spreader electrical system to the control box must
ALWAYS be
ALWAYS be disconnected before any welding is performed on the spreader
or the machine that the spreader is mounted on.

The plug is removed from the controller (the controller is mounted on the
main frame) by lifting the metal lever and removing the plug completely from
the controller.

The cables of the orange coloured IN and OUTPUT boxes mounted on the ro-
tator should also be disconnected. This is done by removing the plastic retainer
and pulling the 10-pole rubber plug completely apart.

The ELME Model 817 Container spreader is a technically advanced piece of equipment

which, if it is carefully used and maintained, will serve its purpose for many years.

Initial check.
Each work shift should be started by making a visual check of the unit (this must be part
of the daily routine). Possible damage will in this way be discovered at an early stage,
thus enabling repairs to be carried out at a much lower cost.

NEVER USE THE UNIT UNLESS ALL SAFETY DEVICES FUNCTION CORRECTLY!!!

CONTAINER HANDLING

1. Starting work with the spreader.

First of all, the length of the spreader must be adjusted to the size of container that is

length.

the spreader may only be used for lifting 20ft. and 40ft. containers. Lifting outside

When the required length has been reached, lift the spreader high enough to give good
visibility under it. This serves two purposes; 1) it gives good visibility for travelling and

now be side shifted to the center position and the reach function operated to the fully
retracted position. This will be termed ”THE BASIC POSITION” in the rest of the
instruction.

2. Picking up a container.
If necessary, raise the spreader in order to have plenty of space between it and the
container. Always attempt to position the spreader centrally over the container.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

ELME GENUINE PARTS

By using ELME genuine parts, you always get parts you can rely on and true peace of
mind. If you are using non-genuine parts, you put weak links into a strong, perfectly
designed chain of interactive components. Please note that non-genuine parts are
made by factories that have not been approved by ELME and they are often
manufactured to be as cheap as possible, using inferior materials, workmanship and
by reversed engineering.

Non-genuine parts are high risk. Real cost and real risk is measured not in the price,
but in the cost of the component in the event of failure. Use of non-genuine parts may
lead to higher downtime and lower productivity due to more frequent failures.

For correct operation of the spreader, only ELME genuine parts and accessories which
are approved by ELME should be used. If non-genuine parts are used, the warranty is
not valid. By using ELME genuine parts and accessories approved by ELME, you will
maintain original standard. ELME will disclaim all responsibility if parts from third party
are used.

INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE

 Always inspect your spreader before using it. If any kind of damage is detected –
which may affect the function of the spreader - this must be corrected before use.

If the spreader needs to be repaired, please contact a specialist and see to that
only ELME genuine parts are used if need of replacement. This is to ensure that the

spreader for many years.

MODIFICATION OF THE SPREADER/PRODUCT LIABILITY/WARRANTY

For the avoidance of doubt, ELME is not liable in case of damage due to factors
beyond ELME’s control or due to a lack of maintenance or the use of non-genuine

If so, this means that the spreader is not CE approved and thus ELME has no product
liability.

cylinder adjuster bolts so that the twistlocks are positioned accuratly in the NOT
LOCKED position. Ensure that there is Zero play between the adjuster bolts and the
twistlock cylinder rod ends.

19 Grease the complete assembly with a high-pressure grease gun.

In order to test the operation it is necessary to land the spreader on a container so that the
seated pins are activated.

tions at the rear of the extension cylinder pos. B. The securing bracket that
secures the cable chain to the track in the bottom of the extension beam should
also be disconnected.

3 By using a crane or fork lift truck pull the end beam pos. A out approx. 50cm so
that it is just possible to get into the inspection hole pos.C in the top of the beam.

4 Remove the pin from the piston rod end of the extension cylinder.

5 The extension cylinder pos. B can now be lifted out of the spreader by sliding it
horizontally with the help of suitable lifting equipment, (by "suitable lifting
equipment" is meant that the crane or truck must be capable of lifting 150kg.)
until the slider pads slide out of the rail by which the foot of the cylinder is guided.

SEATED / LANDED signal adjustment

1. Check that the SEATED PIN can move up and down freely. The force needed to lift the pin
is approx. 10 kg (20 lbs).

2. The SEATED signal should switch on with the pin protruding approx. 9mm below the landing
surface of the end beam.

3. If adjustment of the proximity switch / sensor is necessary, remove the seated sensor
mounting bracket incl. sensor from the top of the seated tower, and adjust the proximity
switch / sensor so that the end surface is 7-8 mm above the lower mounting surface of the
bracket. This adjustment will result in the seated pin indication being switched on when the
underside of the seated pin is approx. 8 to 10 mm lower than the end beams landing
surface. This adjustment also ensures that the mechanical and electrical lockout is released
