Reason
All the lubricating work for the heavily loaded slide faces on the telescopic
sections of the main boom is described in the relevant supplied mainte-
nance manual.
The heavily loaded slide faces are located on the lower outside slide
faces (2) and the upper inside slide faces (3) of the telescopic sections.
In addition, you must also lubricate the unpainted upper outside faces (1).
The factory-applied film of lubricant can be washed off in the extended
state. Therefore, you must lubricate the upper outside faces of all telescopic
sections to prevent corrosion.
Interval • Lubricate the upper outside faces every three months (M3).
Lubricating
• Find out about all lubricating points on all telescopic sections in the rele-
vant supplied maintenance manual.
• Always lubricate the upper outside faces (1) before the lower outside slide
faces (2).
• Continue the maintenance work as described in the relevant supplied
maintenance manual.

Please note that Manitowoc Crane Group Germany GmbH can uphold the
warranty provided for the truck crane only if the following conditions are
fulfilled:
– it is used for the purpose for which it was intended
– care and maintenance is carried out as prescribed
– repair work/overhauling is carried out by professionals
29.04.2008
Many defects and failures are caused by improper maintenance such as:
– insufficient oil, grease or antifreeze
– dirt
– rope damage
– defective compressed air and hydraulic systems
– hose damage or loose screw connections
– faulty brakes
– faulty tyres or wheel rims
– exceeded maintenance intervals
For your safety and the safety of others, avoid these errors by carrying out
service and maintenance work carefully within the specified intervals. Do
not delay maintenance work that is due. If repairs are needed, immediately
contact CraneCARE or your repair crew. This work may only be carried out
by trained, qualified personnel.
• Clean the parts of the truck crane that are to be serviced, particularly the
area around the oil filler opening, the oil inspection opening, the drain
opening and the lubricating nipples.
• When changing the oil, let the oil run out at operating temperature.
• Ensure that only oils and lubricants specified in the Lubricants, p. 6 - 1
are used.
• Replace all filters within the specified period if cleaning is not explicitly
permitted.
• Replace all gaskets before assembly. Clean the sealing surfaces.
• Tighten loose screw connections on hydraulic and compressed air
systems only when the system is depressurised.
• Keep brake and clutch linings free of grease.
• Replace hydraulic hoses immediately once damage or penetration of
moisture becomes visible.
• Cleanliness is imperative when handling hydraulic oil. Even new
hydraulic oil must be filtered when filling.

29.04.2008
If due to exceptional circumstances, the truck crane must be put into opera-
tion for certain types of maintenance work, great care must be taken where
there are moving parts (superstructure, outriggers, cardan shafts, slewing
bearing, motors, tiltable crane cab). There is a risk of injury.
• Ensure that all hydraulic components are returned to their initial positions
(e.g. the main boom) or locked (e.g. the outriggers).
Escaping hydraulic fluid or compressed air can cause severe injury.
Remember that the hydraulic and compressed air systems of the truck crane
are pressurised even when the crane is not in operation. Only tighten loose
screw connections when the systems are depressurised. Always depressur-
ise the hydraulic and compressed air systems before opening them.
29.04.2008
G
Danger due to unauthorised use!
Always stow away the hand-held control in the crane cab before leaving the
truck crane, and lock the door to the crane cab or the driver's cab.
In this way, you can prevent unauthorised persons from starting the engine
with the hand-held control.
• Set up warning signs in the driver's cab/crane cab with information about
– when
– why
– by whom
the truck crane was secured to prevent unauthorised use.
Remove the warning signs from the driver's cab and the crane cab after
completion of the maintenance work.
29.04.2008
What substances When you carry out maintenance work on the truck crane, you will occasion-
are harmful to the ally work with consumables which are classed as harmful to the environ-
environment? ment as per current national and regional regulations.
These include oil, fuel, grease, used oil and fuel filters, as well as cloths
which have come into contact with these environmentally harmful sub-
stances.
Use suitable Substances harmful to the environment can be caustic. When doing main-
equipment tenance work involving these consumables (oils, coolant, fuel), always use
containers, hoses, pumps, funnels etc. which are large enough and which
are resistant to the consumables.
For oil sampling, always use containers that can be closed and have suffi-
cient capacity and resistance to the consumables.
Filling and • When filling and draining, make absolutely sure that no substances harm-
draining ful to the environment seep into the earth, escape into the sewage system
or pollute natural waters.
• Catch consumables (e.g. oils, fuels, coolant) in a suitable container when
draining.
• Always use a drain hose when draining, and a funnel or a pump with hose
suitable for the respective substance when filling. 29.04.2008
Collect and store Substances which are environmentally harmful should always be collected
separately separately from other waste.
• Ask your local environmental protection authority about the different cat-
egories for the substances.
• Also, when collecting environmentally harmful substances, keep solid
materials (e.g. filter cartridges) separate from liquids. Disposal costs will
be reduced if you collect liquids separately according to certain categor-
ies.
• Only store environmentally harmful substances in approved containers
and in locations which meet the requirements of current national and
regional regulations.
Disposal • Ask your local environmental protection authority about the prescribed
disposal options.
• Once accumulated, have environmentally harmful substances disposed
of only by disposal companies which are approved by the national or
regional authority responsible.

3 Cleaning
During the first The paintwork on the truck crane will continue to harden for the first three
three months months.
• During this period, the truck crane may only be cleaned with cold water.
• Do not use high-pressure or steam-jet cleaning equipment during this
period.
After the first • Avoid water temperatures over 60 °C even after the first three months.
three months
• Do not use corrosive cleaning agents that might attack the paint.
• Never hold the spray nozzle of your cleaning unit at a right angle to the
surface you are cleaning, and ensure that you are standing at a sufficient
distance away from the surface.
G
Risk of accidents from misdirected high pressure water jet
When working with high-pressure and steam-jet cleaners, the water jet will
be deflected by crane parts and could spray into your face and eyes at great
speed and high pressure.
Always wear a face guard when cleaning the truck crane with high-pressure
and steam-jet cleaning equipment.
• To prevent damage to the gaskets, never point the nozzle directly at them.
• Never point the nozzle at electrical equipment, relay and switch boxes,
suction and venting filters or control elements and oiled/lubricated sur-
faces.
• To prevent corrosion, re-oil/relubricate all slide faces after cleaning.
The components specified in the next section are to be cleaned with partic-
ular care.

These measures for monitoring the winches (hoists) were compiled by the
German Machine Builders' Association (VDMA) and are to be used for all
vehicle cranes according to the German Accident Prevention Regulations for
Winches, Hoists and Tractor Machines, BGV D 6 (VGB 9) and BGV D 8 (VBG 8).
The power unit group M 3 and the load spectrum L1 (Km = 0.125) are gen-
erally given for truck cranes in erection mode, resulting in a theoretical serv-
ice life of 3200 hrs. (ISO 4301/1, FEM 1.001, DIN calculation bases for power
units).
S The theoretical service life is not the same as the real (actual) service life of
a winch!
s
29.04.2008
The truck crane operator must inspect the truck crane at least once a year
(ISO 9927-1 and BGV D 6 (VGB 9)/BGV D 8 (VBG 8)).
This includes establishing the proportion of theoretical service life that has
been used. If required, the truck crane operator is to appoint an official
inspector for this assessment.
The actual operating conditions (load spectrum) and the operating hours of
the hoists are to be determined for each inspection interval when establish-
ing the proportion of theoretical service life that has been used. The opera-
tor is responsible for proper documentation in the crane logbook.

When establishing the load spectrum, the existing wire cable is used as a
standard, i.e. under certain circumstances, the truck crane can be support-
ing a small load, whereby the winch is actually supporting a heavy load, e.g.
due to insufficient reeving. Therefore, the following graphic representation
of the load spectrum refers to the winch's wire cables.

Determining the For an inspection interval i (max. 1 year according to ISO 9927-1 or BGV D 6
proportion of the- (VBG 9)/BGV D 8 (VBG 8), the proportion of theoretical service life used Si is
oretical service life calculated using the formula:

Km i
S i = ----------- × T i
Km
If the remaining theoretical service life is not sufficient for the next operating
period, then a general overhaul of the winch must be performed.
Deviating If, after 10 years, the theoretical service life has not been used up, the winch
provision can continue to be operated without a general overhaul under the following
conditions.
The crane expert has confirmed that the used portion of the service life is
correct and proper by signing his/her name in the logbook after every
inspection.
In this case, the crane expert must closely inspect the winch. This includes
at least:
5.4.3 Example
A GMK 5170 is equipped with a separate operating hours counter for the
hoist and is classified by Manitowoc Crane Group Germany GmbH as fol-
lows:
Power unit group: M3
Load spectrum: light L 1, Km = 0.125
Theoretical service life: D = 3 200 hrs.
The truck crane was used for assembly work during the previous year:
Load spectrum L 1, i.e. Km1 = 0.125.
The operating hours counter for the main hoist reads 160 hrs.,
i.e. T1 = 160 hrs.
The used proportion S1 of theoretical service life after the first inspection
therefore is:
0.125
S i = --------------- × 160 h = 160 h
0.125
The above values are entered in the table (see table example p. 5 - 28).
The truck crane was used for unloading work on docks: Load spectrum:
L 3, i.e. Km2 = 0.5.
The operating hours counter for the main hoist reads 640 hrs., i.e. during
this period: 640 hrs. - 160 hrs. = 480 hrs. (160 hrs. were used during the first
year) T2 = 480 hrs.
29.04.2008
The used proportion S2 of theoretical service life after the second inspection
is therefore:
0.5
S i = --------------- × 480 h = 1920 h
0.125
The above values are entered in the table (see table example p. 5 - 28).
The truck crane was used for assembly work and occasional unloading work
on docks: Load spectrum: L 2, i.e. Km3 = 0.25.
The operating hours counter for the main hoist reads 940 hrs., i.e. during
this period: 940 hrs. - 640 hrs. = 300 hrs.
T3 = 300 hrs.
The used proportion S3 of theoretical service life after the third inspection
interval is therefore:
0.25
S i = --------------- × 300 h = 600 h
0.125
This table is to be attached to the logbook. This table is found in the main-
tenance manual appendix for truck cranes that do not require a logbook or
similar documentation according to the regulations in the country in which
you are working.

This prevents gear damage being caused by undetected loss of oil.
S
Risk of damage to the transmission when warming up
When the wheels are locked, the full engine output may only be applied in
transmission mode D or R for a maximum of 30 seconds. If this duration is
exceeded, the transmission could become overheated and get damaged.
• First switch to transmission mode D and then to R and allow the engine
to run briefly at approx. 1200 - 1500 min-1 in each transmission mode.
• Switch to neutral position N and let the vehicle run at idling speed.

29.04.2008
On suspension struts with forced levers, the forced levers must be checked
for proper functioning when the suspension is switched on and off.
G
Risk of crushing when releasing the suspension locking system
When the suspension is switched on, the wheels drop down suddenly.
Ensure that nobody is close to the wheels when you switch on the suspen-
sion.
S
Risk of damage to the tyres!
Remove sharp-edged or pointed objects from below the wheels before
switching on the suspension.
In this way, you prevent the tyres bursting or being damaged when lower-
ing the wheels.

Handling the The valves can be opened and closed only using the connecting piece with
valves the hose. The connecting piece is in the tool box.
G
Danger due to escaping hydraulic oil!
When the connecting piece is screwed onto the valve, the valve opens and
the hydraulic oil immediately flows out of the connecting piece. Holding it
by the connecting piece, place the hose into a suitable receptacle before
screwing on the connecting piece.
• Place the hose onto the connecting piece and put the other end of the
hose into a receptacle.
• A – Remove the cap and screw the connecting piece and hose onto the
valve – the valve opens.
• Drain the required amount of oil.
• B – Remove the connecting piece and hose – the valve closes.
• Screw the cap onto the valve.
Taking oil samples • Before taking the oil sample, allow 1 to 2 litres of oil to drain into a recep-
tacle.
• Take 0.3 litres of hydraulic oil from each of the three valves on the hydrau-
lic tank and from one gauge port.
• Label each sample with
– the date of sampling,
– number of operating hours since last oil change and
– the sampling location (hydraulic oil tank or gauge port).
• Have a technical laboratory determine
– the viscosity,
– the viscosity index,
– the degree of contamination and
– the water content of all the samples.
29.04.2008
Determining the Compare the quality of the oil with the limit values and carry out the speci-
quality of the oil fied measures if necessary.

G
Risk of overturning when telescoping with an overridden SLI!
Only override the SLI when you are requested to do so. Never extend the
main boom further than specified when the SLI is overridden. An increased
danger of tipping exists because the SLI will not switch off extension of the
main boom.
G
Risk of accidents from slipping off the main boom!
There is grease residue on the telescopic sections. For this reason, you
must not walk on the main boom.
Use the extendable ladders provided with your crane!
If the main boom has been telescoped several times, the derricking gear is
so heavily loaded that the main boom cannot be derricked. For this reason:
• Do not lower the main boom below 0°.
29.04.2008
s

Manitowoc Crane Group Germany GmbH recommends high-pressure
lubrication with a pressure pump for reasons of sustainability, efficiency
and environmental protection.
When lubricating the hoist ropes, observe the instructions concerning the
lubricant.
H
If in doubt about damage assessment, always consult an official inspector.
To assess the condition of the rope, you must be familiar with the following:
– The type of rope (regular lay or lang lay),
– the number of load-bearing wires in the outer strands,
– the rope diameter ( à Operating instructions).
In a regular lay rope (1), the wires run more or
less in the longitudinal direction of the rope.
H
If there are multiple layers of strands, only the outer layer is counted.
29.04.2008
The following tables show the number of wire breaks in a length 6 times or
30 times the rope diameter which would require rope replacement, for the
most common rope diameters.
H
The number of visible wire breaks indicated here only applies to the hoist
ropes! This information only applies to the initial equipment and original
spare parts!
S
Risk of accidents due to reduced load bearing capacity!

Installing a new The service life of a rope can be significantly affected by the installation pro-
rope cedure. Errors during fitting reduce service life considerably. Therefore, the
following is required:
• Make sure the rope is not twisted when it is installed.
• Ensure it does not get dirty or damaged while being installed.
• Wind the rope up in the same direction in which the rope is reeled onto
the reel.
• Tension the rope slightly while winding it up.
