G2 MANOEUVRES AND CONTROLS TO STABILIZETHE VEHICLE

The outriggers rams prevent damaging stresses both to the frame and to thevehicle suspensions on which the crane is mounted to and assure the stabilityof the unit during load handling.

(!) ATTENTION (!)Be very careful when stabilizing the vehicle; make sure that no one is ortransits in close proximity of the working area of the outriggers.

(!) ATTENTION (!)The crane stability is maintained by the maximum extension of the outriggersupports, by the solidity of the base underneath the plates of the outriggerrams and by the observance of the capacity plates. To check the maximumworking pressure see Paragraph D0.1 Technical data

Check that the outrigger rams are applied on a solid base; if necessary uselarger outrigger base plates (available on request) to avoid sinking.

When stabilization is complete the wheels of the vehicle must still be in con-tact with the ground and the suspensions must not be fully unloaded.

Stabilize the crane so as to operate on a horizontal plane with a maximum tole-rance of 1,5 degrees.

While loading, it may be necessary to vertically adjust the outrigger rams toprevent an overload on the outriggers, then stabilize again.

While unloading, the outrigger rams may not be perfectly in contact with theground because of a rise in the suspension; it is therefore recommended tostabilize the vehicle during operation to avoid an overturn.

G2.1 Functions of control levers for stabilization

The controls to stabilize the vehicle are activated only from the push-buttonpanel of the transmitting-console with the exception of the crane to outriggerdiverter valve which is manual operated.

NOTEThe graphic symbols illustrated hereunder are marked on the plates affixed nextto the control station.

See Paragraph R0 Instruction and warning plates.

G2.2.3 Crane with hydraulic tiltable supports (SLEW RING)for outrigger rams:

(!) ATTENTION (!)Be very careful during vehicle stabilization operation; make sure that there are no obsta-cles preventing the rotation of the rams and that no one is or transits in close proxi-mity of the working area of the outriggers.

- Disengage the locking devices of the outrigger supports by putting thelevers A from the position of the fig. 10 to the one of the fig. 10a.


- Position selector ( -E/S) of the push-button panel on E/S.

- By using the levers CD, the lever C and the valve taps, extend the outriggersupports, rotate the outrigger rams putting in a working condition and lowerthem till the complete stabilisation of the vehicle.

Example of using the levers CD, the lever C and the valve tap on the outrig-ger and the valve tap on the control ram for the tiltable support:- extension of the outrigger support n°1

- activate the lever CD n°1 in the direction of E;- by keeping activated the lever CD n°1, activate the lever C in the

opposite direction.

- rotation of the outrigger ram n°1 from the rest position (fig. 15) to theworking condition (fig. 16)- make sure that the tap R1 of the valve of the outrigger ram S1 is closed

(for the closed or opened position see fig. 13);- open the tap R2 of the valve of the control ram for the tiltable support;- to remove the pin 2 proceed as follows:

- activate the lever CD n°1 in the direction of S;- by keeping activated the lever CD n°1, activate the lever C in the

opposite direction to control the rotation and take the ram S1 to itsrest position so that the pin 1 is extractable;

- remove the check pin and the locking pin 1 from their seats;- to rotate the outrigger ram S1 proceed as follows:

- activate the lever CD n°1 in the direction of S;- by keeping activated the lever CD n°1, activate the lever C in the

opposite direction to control the rotation and take the ram S1 to itswork condition.

!!! ATTENTION !!!Make sure that no one is or transits in close proximity of the working areaof the outriggers.

- insert the pin 1 in its new seat and lock it with the check pin;- close the tap R2 of the valve of the control ram for the tiltable support;

H0 CONTROLS TO OPERATE THE CRANE(!) WARNING (!)

Before operating the crane it is compulsory to set theoutriggers. (Plate DE2327 fig. 17)

Radio remote controlThe crane and hydraulic implements can be operatedthrough proportional radio remote control subjugate to adistributore which the manual order is to be used only incase of emergency.

Display on the push-button panel of the radioremote control- When you start the radio remote control (fig. 8a),

the pressure in the inner, outer ram and the jib andthe percentage of load on the winch are displayed.In relation to the view chosen like standard, when you start the radio remote controlthe pressure values are displayed in:- ”bar” if on the display, on the left of the values, no symbol is present.- ”daPsi” if on the display, on the left of the values, the symbol is present.

- By pushing the button the percentage values of pressure in the inner, outer ram and the jib and the percentage of load on the winch are displayed.By pushing a second time the button the pressure values in the inner, outer andjib rams movement in the measurement unit non standard and the percentage ofload on the winch are displayed.By pushing again the button you return to the initial display.

- For the use of the control button see Par. M0.0.

- By pushing the button one or more times you return to the initial display(view of the pressure values).

- For the meaning of other messages see Par. H1.5.0 “Diagnostic”

Tele-radio remote controlThe radio remote control, in the case of a discharged battery or in the presence ofinterference in the radio transmission, or use of the crane in situations where the tran-smission by radio is forbidden, it is easily transformed to cable remote control using aconnecting cable.

Activation of the tele-radio remote control- Connect by cable the remote control to the socket fixed on the base of the

crane (fig. 18)

(!) WARNING (!)First read the instructions given in the User’s Manual supplied by theManufacturer before using the remote control to avoid improper use.

The plates shown on the side of each push-button panel lever of the radio remote con-trol and on each lever on the emergency control, determine the operation of the leversin relation to the movement of the crane.

(!) ATTENTION (!)The sequence of the plates placed on the crane controls may be different.

Make sure that the lever you are going to operate correspond to the control you selected.

(!) Operate the levers smoothly and gradually (!) When carrying out simultaneous movements of two or more functions, also related topump flow and lever travel, it is possible that on reaching the stroke end of a particularfunction, an increase in speed of the other functions will occur.

H0.1 Manoeuvres to unfold the crane into a workingcondition

The plate DE4452 indicates the sequence of the manoeuvres to becarried out to unfold and to fold the crane.

- Engage the power take off.- Stabilize the vehicle (see details on Paragraph G2 “Manoeuvres

and controls to stabilize the vehicle”).

By operating the corresponding levers:- make sure that the extension booms and the outer ram are closed;- lift the inner boom over the horizontal line; - open the outer boom to the “horizontal” position;

- position the hook on the vertical line above the load.

H0.2 Manoeuvres to fold the crane into therest condition (see plate DE4452)

By operating the corresponding levers:- fold the extension booms to their stroke end;- lift the inner boom to its stroke end;- fold the outer boom to its stroke end;- rotate the crane until the arrows coincide (on the base and on the

slew ring);- fold the inner boom to its stroke end; the rest locating pin locates

into its seat;- re-position the outriggers to within the overall vehicle width as

described on Paragraph G2.

H1 MANOEUVRES OF THE CRANE LOADS(!) Before manoeuvering the load, verify that the working area

is suitable for your crane.

The lifting curves of the capacity plate indicate the maximum load that thecrane can lift at a certain radius and at a certain height. To utilize the maxi-mum capacity of the crane, it is necessary to position the inner boom asindicated on the capacity plate; the coloured symbols on the inner boomand column must coincide. During load handling, do not exceed the reach limits given, orthe load indicated on the above mentioned charts. If the limits are exceeded, the load limi-ting device, allowing all manoeuvres, which reduce the lifted load within the permittedreach limits and forbid all other manoeuvres, will be immediately activated.

On the crane has been installed an electronic system to automatically control themaximum speed for moving the booms in relation to the load applied. With lowloads, the control system allows the use of the nominal capacity of the pump, whilethe oil capacity available for the moving, is automatically and progressively redu-ced, at the increased loads.The manoeuvres affected by this system are:- rotation- lift and descent of the inner boom- lift and descent of the outer boom- exit of the extension booms of the crane- lift and descent of the jib (when fitted)- exit of the extension booms of the jib (when fitted)

Lifting moment limiting deviceA characteristic which permits the classification of cranes is their lifting capacity ormaximum lifting moment. The moment is defined by the value obtained from theweight of the load to be lifted (kg) by its distance (meters) from the centerline ofthe crane rotation. The device called “lifting moment limiting device” preserves thecrane structure from overloads, as it prevents any movement which increases the valueof the moment up to the maximum established value.

H1.1 “Electronic” lifting moment limiting deviceThis device utilises an electro-hydraulic system managed by an electronic logic thatprevents any operation tending to cause an increase in the pressure induced by theload in the lifting rams (inner, outer rams of the crane and of the hydraulic extension,if fitted), up to the critical values. These values, which are not exceedable, determinethe intervention levels and provide the data for setting the device.

The pressure values detected in the lifting rams are turned into electric signals bythe transducers, and sent to the electronic logic of the device which determines thelocking or unlocking of the controls concerned, according to the horizontal position ofthe crane outer boom (mercury level switch); only the controls allowing a reduction ofthe overload are enabled, while those increasing it are disabled.

The device features an electro-hydraulic control that does not allow the set value tobe exceed, by deactivating the controls (levers in neutral position) commanded bythe limiting device. When the controls are released (levers in neutral position) it's thiselectronic logic that handles which manoeuvres are disabled, according to the posi-tion of the crane outer boom and in overload condition, by sending electric signals tospecial micro-switches placed on the elements of the distributor.

(!) ATTENTION (!)The presence of the lifting moment limiting device does not release the user from theobligation to respect what is indicated on capacity plates and lifting curves.

H1.2 Control panelThe control devices are insered in the push-button panel of the radio remote control.For the picture list of the push-button panel of the radio see “Controls to operate thecrane”.

If the warning light over the on radio button comes on, it confirms that the control unithas been activated.

!NOTE! In the absence of electric power all crane functions will bedesactivated.

If during operation the yellow led placed on the side of the display comes on, 90% ofthe rated capacity has been reached.

If during operation the red led placed on the side of the display comes on, the activa-tion value of the lifting moment limiting device has been reached.

Visual indicator yellow/red lightThe control unit was up to 90% loading a graduated band of led lights to show theincreased load, upon reach 90% a yellow led will be illuminated, upon reaching100% and activation of the lifting moment limiting device a red led will be illuminated.The visual indicator located on the crane is shown in fig. 19.

Any hidden danger situation for persons must be audibly warned by pressing thepush button of the audible alarm (on radio and audible alarm push button).

When there are serious, imminent and dangerous conditions for persons and thingsduring load handling, operate on the emergency STOP button, which isolates allcrane functions and activate the intermittent audible alarm push button.

Manoeuvres of the craneFig. 20-20a illustrate the configurations of the crane (and of the eventual hydraulic exten-sion) with the manoeuvres allowed and not allowed by the device, in connection with thehorizontal position of the crane and extension outer booms.

(!) ATTENTION (!)In the overload condition, if you simultaneously effect one permitted and one nonpermitted manoeuvre you haven’t movement.In the overload condition, before effecting a permitted manoeuvre, it is necessary toreturn all the levers to the neutral position.

Crane without load applied and activated limiting deviceThe limiting device may intervene also during loadless crane operation followinga pressure peak provoked by the attainment of the stroke end of the lifting ram athigh speed. In this condition, reactivation of the crane commands by performingone of the manoeuvres is allowed by the system.If the limiting device intervenes when both the lifting rams are open and at strokeend, and the crane extension booms are fully folded, it is not possible to reactiva-te the commands, since the permitted manoeuvres (arm lifting and extension fullyretracted) cannot be carried out, because of the actual configuration of the crane(outer boom above the horizontal). The device, in this case, allows the descentmanoeuvres since it verifies the it was a peak pressure inside the lifting rams; thecrane being loadless, thus these manoeuvres will be allowed.

Temporised exclusion device of the lifting moment limiting deviceThe activation of the exclusion device is permitted when the limiting device isactivated and only in the case when it is impossible to carry out any of theallowed manoeuvres. This generally occurs when handling heavy and bulkyloads, with the outer boom above the horizontal and the extension boom sectionsalmost retracted.

(!) ATTENTION (!)The activation of the exclusion system for the lifting moment limiting devicecan ONLY be operated when the extension booms of the crane and of thehydraulic jib (when fitted) are fully retracted.

The activation of the exclusion system reduces the movement speed to the mini-mum value.The activation button of the excluding device, only in the case of the crane, areto be activated as follows:- retract the crane extension booms until stroke end and momentarily pressuri-

se;- maintain the command for the extension boom of the crane until the mark LMI

displays on the push-button panel;- continue to keep the command for the extension booms of the crane press the

exclusion device button, the mark ELMI displays;- release the lever commanding the extension booms.

The permitted manoeuvre is the descent of the outer boom of the crane in order tobring it under the horizontal line; remember that you have at your disposal five (5)seconds from the command operation to carry out the descent.After such period of time, wait at least one (1) minute in order to be allowed tocarry out the manoeuvre once again.

The activation buttons of the excluding device, in the case of the hydraulic jib,are to be activated as follows:- retract the extension booms of the jib until stroke end and momentarily pressurise;- maintain the command for the extension boom of the jib until the mark LMI

displays on the push-button panel;- release the lever commanding the extension booms of the jib, the mark LMI

disappears;- retract the extension booms of the crane until stroke end and momentarily pressuri-

se;- maintain the command for the extension boom of the crane until the mark LMI

displays on the push-button panel;- continue to keep the command for the extension booms of the crane press the

exclusion device button, the mark ELMI displays;- release the lever commanding the extension booms of the crane.

The only permitted manoeuvres are the descent of the hydraulic jib and thedescent of the outer boom. As first you must lower he hydraulic jib in order tobring it under the horizontal line, then, if it is necessary, lower the outer boom;remember that you have at your disposal five (5) seconds from the commandoperation to carry out the descent.After such period of time, wait at least one (1) minute in order to be allowed tocarry out the manoeuvre once again.

(!) ATTENTION (!)Activation of the exclusion device of the lifting moment limiting device.When the operator uses this device, it means that he wishes to override thelifting moment lifting device in order to make some manoeuvres (whichwould be impossible with the device active) that bring the moment to withinthe maximum level, but involve an overload condition. In such an emer-gency condition (where the lifting moment limiting device has been disa-bled), the operator, who is the main responsible for the machine safety,must:- carefully consider the manoeuvres required to return to normal working

conditions;- calmly and carefully assess the type and scale of the hazards arising

from these manoeuvres and the possible reaction of the crane (tippingover, frame overload, uncontrolled fall of the load due to a hydraulicsystem overload etc.);

- make all movements as slowly as possible to reduce the dynamic overloadto the minimum.

H1.3 Lifting moment limiting device for two workingsectors (optional)

In case of one sector of the working area with reduced stability of the vehicle (e.g.sector in front of vehicle cab) the limiting device can be provided with a specialfunction which allows to operate with a reduction of the intervention level. Thereduction of the intervention level reduces the crane capacity values and thisreduction value is defined in the vehicle stability calculation. Consequently theworking area is divided in one sector (e.g. body side) where the crane worksaccording to the capacity plate values and another sector (e.g. cab side) where itworks with reduced capacity values. The device has consequently two interven-tion levels which are activated in relation to the sector of the crane working areaalways securing the vehicle stability.

(!) ATTENTION (!)If the rotation stops by going through the working zone where the crane can operateaccording to the capacity plate values to the one where it can operate according to thereduced values, it means that one of the following conditions is reached:- rotation of a load bigger than the one admitted in the reduced sector defined

in the vehicle stability calculation;- rotation without load applied but with (at least) one of the inner, outer rams of

the crane or the jib (if fitted) extended and pressurised at the stroke end.The following manoeuvres are allowed:- the opposite rotation- the manoeuvres allowed by the limiting device in relation to the position of the

outer boom (positioned over or under the horizontal line).

H1.4 Rotation limiting deviceWhen a sector of the working area exists in which the stability is insufficient (forexample in the area in front of the cab) the permitted arc of rotation is limited bymeans of an adjustable electro-hydraulic device which only allows operationwithin the safe area. (Warning: persist in the operation!) When exceeding the “safe area” the rotation limiting device only allowing:- the opposite rotation- the manoeuvres allowed by the limiting device in relation to the position of the

outer boom (positioned over or under the horizontal line).

If a reduction of capacity is necessary because of insufficient stability of the com-plete unit, new capacity plates must be fixed giving the derated capacity in accor-dance with the final stability test.

(!) ATTENTION (!)Always check carefully that the vehicle is perfectly stable, paying special attentionto the area immediately in front of the driver’s cabin as this is usually less stable.

H1.5 DEVICE XP

This device can be activated only through the push-butoon panel of the radioremote control, see Par. H0 “Controls to operate the crane”.

The XP device works on the principle of an increase in the lifting capacity ofthe crane with a reduction in the dynamic effect achieved with a reduction inthe speed of certain movements.

The XP device can be used, not just to increase the capacity crane: - but to exploit the reduction in the speed when moving a load that must be

positioned with precision.- and to exploit the variation in the lifting moment limiting device adjustment

parameters to exit from a critical situation when moving the load (overcomingof the 90% or intervention of the lifting moment limiting device).

(!) ATTENTION (!)The rating plates relevant to the XP device are marked F700XP.

H1.5.1Activation and instructions for use of the XP/Vdevice

You operate the XP device only from the console of the radio remote con-trol by using the appropriate selector. (fig. 20b).

Scanreco radio remote controlYou operate on the XP/ON-XP/OFF selector (fig. 20b) on the XP/ON posi-tion.

The activation of the XP device is indicated with the mark XP displayedup on the right of the control panel.

(!) WARNING (!)It is recommended to release the crane controls (levers of the control consolein neutral position) before activating or desactivating the XP device because ofthe variation of speed is considerable and immediate; carefully operate the controls.

See paragraph H0 of the F600 USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL for detailsof “Controls to operate the crane”See paragraphes H1 of the F600 USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL for detailsof “Lifting moment limiting device”

The activation of the XP device on cranes with free rotation or with rotationlimiting device produces: - an increase in the capacity of the crane- a reduction in the speed of rotation without increasing the torque- a reduction in the speed of lifting and lowing the inner boom, outer

boom and of the jib boom (when fitted)- speed of the extension booms, bucket and the rotator.- allows normal speed and lifting capacity of the winch.

SCANRECO RADIO REMOTE CONTROL

XP

The activation of the XP device on cranes with lifting moment limitingdevice for two sectors produces: - in the “stable” zone working area, the same effect for crane with free rotation - in the “unstable” zone working area, a reduction in the speed without the

increase in capacity.

Activation of the XP device when the 90% of the capacity has been reached- the yellow light on the "led" band of the push-button panel goes off- allowing the manoeuvres that increase the lifting moment, you then have

the repeat of the yellow "led" band and red "led" band of the warning lightsagain.

Activation of the XP device after the lifting moment limiting device blockA) The block continues:

- the crane must be resetB) The red "led" band of the warning light switches off and the yellow "led"

- calmly and carefully assess the type and scale of the hazards arising fromthese manoeuvres and the possible reaction of the crane (tipping over, frame overload, uncontrolled fall of the load due to a hydraulic system overload etc.);


Reactivation of the crane functions using the push-button panel of the radio: Keeping pressed the exclusion push-button ( ) of the limiting device on the push-button panel, operate on the lever of the movement to be effected.

After such emergency operations and prior to re-use of the crane, you mustimmediately go to a FASSI authorised Center for reactivation of the cranefunctions and re-sealing of the device.



H1.6.2 Temporary OVERIDE-REACTIVATION for the crane functions in case of an electrical failure, out of order ofthe radio remote control, or of the appearance ofthe signal “ALARM” on the display of the push-buttonpanel (in this case, we cannot reactivate the crane functions).

On the distributor it has been installed an emergency lever to be used in theevent of a black-out, electrical or hydraulic malfunctions. Only In these situationsit is permitted to remove the lead seal placed on the tap lever and place it in theclosed position.

For the access to the tap lever remove the cover 1 (fig. 21) placed under the pro-tection guard of the distributor by unscrewing the two fixing screws (10 mm hexa-gonal spanner).

(!) When the electric power is restablished, remember to put the lever in the opened position.

(!) ATTENTION (!)Activation of the emergency lever.This activation prevents the operation of the lifting moment limiting device,consequently, the operation under such conditions can involve an overloadcondition. In such an emergency condition (where the lifting moment limi-ting device has been disabled), the operator, who is responsible for themachine safety, must:- carefully consider the manoeuvres required to return to normal working

conditions: it is however compulsory to effect the re-entry of the extensionbooms at first,

- calmly and carefully assess the type and scale of the hazards arising fromthese manoeuvres and the possible reaction of the crane (tipping over, frameoverload, uncontrolled fall of the load due to a hydraulic system overloadetc.);


After such emergency operations and prior to re-use of the crane, you mustimmediately go to a FASSI authorised Center for testing the structure andre-sealing of the device.



In case of an electrical failure, all the control levers of the push-but-ton panel of the radio-remote and the emergency control cannot beused and then, it is necessary operate directly the distributor (fig.22).

For the access to the distributor remove the cover 2 (fig. 22) byunscrewing the five fixing screws.

The column controls must only be used in an emergency and onlyto bring the crane to its rest position.Be very careful at the manoeuvre of rotation because of theresidual danger of crushing.During emergency manoeuvres, the operator, when it is possi-ble should be assisted by a second trained person who canintervene if necessary (Eg.: positioning the lever D of the devia-tor ( - E/S) on E/S, by using then the deviator crane-outriggerslike interruption control of emergency.

(!) ATTENTION (!)The presence of the lifting moment limiting device does not release the userfrom the obligation to respect what is indicated on capacity plates and liftingcurves.

(!) CAUTION DANGER (!)

On the outer boom there is a mercury capsule (mercury level switch) duly protectedand provided with the following warning stickers.Mercury is extremely toxic. In case of replacement and/or scrapping, dispo-se of or recycle the capsule containing mercury with maximum care, and inaccordance with the national regulations in force.

(!) ATTENTION (!)Do not walk on the lever guards of the lifting moment limiting device positio-ned on the distributors or electric control panels. DE1679

L0 USE OF IMPLEMENTSThe crane, in load condition H1B3, can be provided with implements such as:

- Manual extensions- Winches- Hydraulic extensions- Personnel baskets - Clam ‘shell buckets- Augers

(!) When using an implement it is always necessary to check that its weight,dimension and capacity is matched to the crane performances. For further information please refer to FASSI GRU IDRAULICHE

Warning and norms for crane use also apply for hydraulic implement use.

Before using a personnel basket it is necessary to provide the crane withthe safety devices requested by the local norms in force and prior to use ofthe crane it has to be tested and inspected in accordance with the local legalrequirements.

(!) In case of implements on the load or the truck body it is necessary tocheck they are locked to assure the impossibility of accidental move-ments.

(!) The crane can operate, intermit-tently and not continuously, with lifting devices other than the hook, only on loose and light materials (not on scrap iron).The dimensions and the capacity of the implements must be pro-

portioned with crane performances.

(!) WARNING (!)CRUSHING (F) OR PUSH (F) MA-NOEUVRES ARE NOT PERMITTED.

L0.1 Hydraulic connections for implements - supple-mentary hoses.

(!) WARNING (!)To ensure that the control corresponds to the implement movement, hydraulicconnections are symmetrically fitted with coupling unions. Never invert suchpositions: movements inversion as well as operating difficulties or unusualoverload with implement itself could occur.

NOTEWhen using coupling unions it is necessary to verify that there is no trace of soil,curt etc. on the unions and inside the seats so as to avoid the oil contaminationand consequently wear the tightening “ surface of unions or ram seals.

L1 MANUAL EXTENSIONSThese are additional extensions, which are placed in the hydraulic extensions ofthe crane and of the hydraulic jib and secured by locking pins.Manual extensions have a maximum capacity independent from the crane confi-guration as shown on the capacity plates.

(!) WARNING (!)Manual extensions are not protected by the lifting moment limiting device.

Before lifting the load make sure that its weight does not exceed the capacity indicatedon the capacity plate.Manual extensions can be extracted from the rest position and be operative, oncethe security pins have been removed, with the outer boom in sliding position.

(!) ATTENTION (!)- Do not stand in front of stabilisers during operation!

Operate from a lateral position in respect of the extension movement of themanual extensions; operation from the frontal position is dangerous.

- Verify that the area is suitable for this operation and there are no unauthorizedpersons in the working area.

- Do not permit the extension to slide out at speed as this will damage the strokeend stops.

- Do not try to align the holes (slots) for the locking pins with your fingers; alwaysuse a suitable tool.

- When manual extensions are in place, fit the locking pins and secure themwith the check pins to prevent accidental escape.

(!) Always remember that when operating with implements, their tare weightmust be deducted from the capacity of the crane.

L2 CONTROLS TO OPERATE THE HYDRAULICIMPLEMENTS OF THE CRANE

The plates placed over each lever define their function in relation to their movement.

(!) ATTENTION (!)The sequence of the plates placed on the crane controls may be different.

Make sure that the lever you are going to operate correspond to the control youselected.

L3 WINCHThe winch is made of a drum that can rotate by means of a hydraulic motor, on astructure fixed on the crane. The rotation of the drum on which the cable winds isachieved by a hydraulic motor controlled by a safety check valve connected to thecrane circuit. A parking brake integrated to the motoreducer group hold the load inposition when the winch control lever is in neutral position.

(!) WARNING (!)Check the condition of wire rope.

(!) On winches not equipped with cable layer, check the rewinding of thecable on winch drum proceeds regularly and without overlapping: it issuggested to rewind the cable only if it is sufficiently taut.

Do not rotate the crane before the load is lifted. Lift the load vertically using thecable and not the boom in order to avoid swinging the load. With the suspendedload rotate slowly and with care checking the stability of the vehicle.

L3.1 Winch for craneThe identification data and the essential characteri-stics are marked on a plate fixed by the manufacturerand used for the CE mark (fig. 24) which testifies itsconformity to the Machine Directive (D.M.)

Manufacturer mark ...Winch type ...Serial number ...Maximum line in N at the 4th layer...Maximum speed in m/min ...

(!) See operator winch manual supplied by the winches’ manufacturer.

The winch has a maximum capacity, indicated by a plate, not related to thecrane capacities which can also be lower.

Consequently avoid to lift, with the winch, heavier loads than those allowedby the crane capacity plate.

The couple limiter, installed on the winch structure, prevents that on thecable, can be created a load major to the value of maximum line at the 4thlayer, quiescing all the crane controls.

(!) Under no circumstances interfere with the limiter device adjustment.

L3.1.1 Winches equipped with an electric stroke end deviceWinches are equipped with a stroke end device that in the lifting or in the boomsextension rams exit prevents the cable hook or the block from hitting the fixed pul-ley, and in the unwinding keeps at least three (3) turns of the cable wound aroundthe winch drum, tripping either device disactivates the relevant controls.To reactivate the controls the winch control lever must be activated controlling:- the descent if the device operation is happened in the lifting or in exit with

the booms extension rams;- the lifting if the operation is happened in the unwinding of the same one.

It is recommended to avoid working with the cable hook or the block tooclose to the pulley structure; the activation of the device could provoquedangerous swinging.

The pulley structure is provided with a group with microswitch (fig. 23) whose leveris kept in position by a balance weight (sliding on the cable); the cable hook or theblock lift the balance weight thus releasing the lever becomes impossible with theconsequent disactivation of the controls. Please note that each movement of thecrane resulting in the exclusion of the balance weight action, engenders the disac-tivation of the controls.

Folding the crane in rest position- withdraw the flying drive (it is assembled on the cable of the cable winder)

from the pin placed near the microswitch, placed on the pulley, assembledon the booms extension rams.

- Release the cable from all support rings placed on the booms letting thatit winds free in the cable winder.

- Insert the flying drive in the pin placed in the cable winder; this operation getsactive all crane controls to complete the rest position operations.

- Withdraw the cable from the pulleys, then remove them from the crane(reposition the pins and the security pins)

- Operate the ascent of the winch in order to wind the cable onto the winch drum,always keeping the cable in tension, using the cable layer to rewind the cablewithout overlaping.

- Hook the thimble to a support apt to keep the cable sufficiently taut.

Rotating support for winch. On cranes fitted with hydraulic extension, in some cases the winch is mounted on arotating support to reduce the overall dimensions; to put the winch to the rest position,operate as following:- to position the outer boom vertically.- to withdraw the security pin, the screw nut and the locking pin from the supports.

The pin should be withdraw easily and without putting up resistance; if so the winchsupport is not enough vertical with consequent dangerous rotation of the groupwhen the pin is finally removed. Then position the crane outer boom in verticalposition, and try to withdraw the security pin once again.

- Rotate the winch support until it reaches its new position, - Insert the locking pin, the screw nut and the security pin.

To put the crane in working position it is necessary to carry out the operations inreverse.

Rotate the winch support with extreme care in order not to damage the hoses andelectric components.

To put the crane in working position see Paragraph H0.2.

(!) ATTENTION (!)Please remember that after placing the crane in working position it is com-pulsory to reset the functionality of end stroke device, otherwise the cablecould be damaged.

L3.1.2 Winches equipped with a mechanical stroke enddevice

The mechanical stroke end device combined with the winch limiter preventsthe hook bracket (or pulley/snatch block) from hitting the fixed pulley when lif-ting or when extending the extension booms, and thus from damaging thecable.

When the winch limiter is activated, all the crane functions are disabled. Manoeuvres allowed:- Rotation in both directions- Re-entry of the crane extension boom sections- Re-entry of the extension booms sections of the jib- Winch rope descentManoeuvres not allowed:- all other movements

When unwinding, an electric device maintains at least three (3) turns of the lif-ting cable wound around the winch drum on activation the following controlsare desactivated.Manoeuvres not allowed:- Winch rope descentManoeuvres allowed:- all other movements

(!) ATTENTION (!)Limit the exit speed of the extension rams when, during the lifting, the hookbracket (or pulley/snatch block) is next to the fixed pulley, in order to avoidunnecessary stress to the cable.

(!) ATTENTION (!)When the hook bracket (or pulley/snatch block, in case of double or triple line)and the fixed pulley are very close, and the operator needs to manoeuvre intheir proximity (i.e. operations like load hook-up, arms folding, etc), we recom-mend to always stand side on with respect to the pulley plan (never in front orat the back) and to operate the crane at a low speed, since the contact (espe-cially without load) can result in rapid and violent rotations of the hook group(from the fig. 26 to the fig. 27).

NOTE The weights reported in the table are indicative and can vary in relation to the fittings.

The jibs are fitted by means of the insertion of the extension connecting boom intothe crane extension boom; the fixing to the crane is obtained through locking pins.The hydraulic connection to the supplementary functions of the crane, is throughquick couplings.

(!) Warnings and norms for crane utilisation apply also for hydraulic jibs use.

(!) ATTENTION (!)The loads shown on the capacity plates which concern the configuration of thecrane with hydraulic jib, refer to the hydraulic jib and consequently they are thesame whether the crane has its extension booms retracted or extended.

(!) Warnings and norms for manual extensions are indicated at Paragraph L1.

(!) ATTENTION (!)It is recommended to employ lifting means adequate to the weight of the load andradius of the extensions; during this operation the operator is responsible for themachine safety.The slings or the cables used for handling the load should have the adequate capacityand length; try to avoid the load overturning by having one length passed through itselfand the other one through the hook.

L4.1 Identification of the hydraulic jibThe model, the version of the crane, the year of construction and the serial numberare stamped on the hydraulic jib (fig. 28) in the following sequence:

M0 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONSTo assure a long life to the crane, it is necessary to meticulously follow the maintenanceinstructions.

General lubrication and small repairs can be carried out by the user; repairs of amore complicated nature must be carried out by authorized service personnel.

Spare parts must be original.

Good maintenance and proper use are imperative to maintain efficient use andguarantee the safety of the crane.

At least once a year you must take the crane to a Fassi Service Center for a check.

(!) Before disconnecting any hydraulic hoses, ensure that there is no pressurein the hydraulic circuit.

After removing hoses always mark them and their respective ports on the crane.Faulty replacement can cause damage to the rams and to the hydraulic circuit.

Respect the information supplied for maintenance and technical assistance.

Any maintenance operation must be carried out with the cranepower source turned off. (in case of fixed mounting with hydraulicpower pack, the electric motor has to be turned off).

Do not place limbs, fingers or any other parts of anatomy intoareas of the crane, which present possibilities of shearing,without having blocked such parts of the crane.

Do not weld, drill or grind any part of the crane without theManufacturer’s authorisation.

Do not weld the fixing rods of the crane (see plate DE1574 fig. 29)

When repairs to, or checks of, the hydraulic circuit and of the rams are carried out, it isvery important not to use, or be in the proximity of, materials which can damage the cir-cuit or contaminate the hydraulic oil eg. metal shavings, sand or dust.

Do not use the high pressure washing on the controls (deviators, distributors, dou-ble controls, hand cable controls...), on the electronic components (boxes, controlpanels...), on the tanks.

Never use detergents, petrolsol or inflammable liquids, always use non flammableor non toxic liquids.

To avoid down time, it is recommended to periodically carry out the following checks.

M0.0 TimerThe control panel of the “electronic” lifting moment limiting device, placed next tothe distributor of the crane, features an alphernumeric readout for displaying thedate, the activation time expressed in hours-minutes of the electric control panel(“Partial Time” and “Total time”) or the working time of the crane whilst beingoperated via the control levers (“Work Time”).

POSSIBLE FAULTSF 600/700XP

P0 POSSIBLE FAULTSMany years experience of our product has allowed us to identify and classify themost common faults which occur. In most cases it requires accurate hydraulicand electric troubleshooting and simple rectification. In the following table wereport the most frequent inconveniences and our suggested remedies.

(!) Checking and adjustment of oil pressures of valve settings must be carried outby an authorized service agent, under penalty of warranty forfeiture.

(!) ATTENTION (!)In the event that the crane ceases to operate and the code "alarm" with a numberappears on the Display B. Call your FASSI authorised service centre reporting theAlarm number with the crane model and serial numbers. If the fault cannot be clea-red follow the procedure in the chapter "Controls to operate the crane" and overidethe dump valve EVI.THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY ACTION FOR EMERGENCIES, the crane shouldbe taken to a FASSI service centre for repair as soon as possible.

TO OPERATE THE CRANE FOR TOO LONGER PERIOD WITH THE OVERIDEACTIVATED MAY INVALIDATE THE CRANE WARRANTY.
