situation, which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous sit-

uation, which, if not avoided, may result in a minor
or moderate injury.
NOTICE

Rules for Operation After Operation

(Special Operation) After Operation, Stow the Machine
Leaving the machine unattended should be avoided.
Be Cautious in Multi-Crane Operation
Once operation is complete, stow the machine.
Lifting a load with two or more cranes can be dan-
gerous. In these operations, loads are lifted at
points other than directly above the center of gravity
and there is possibility of the load falling, the ma-
chine being overturned, or the boom failing.
In multi-crane lifting operations, be absolutely care-
ful, and adhere to the following instructions:
• Meet with personnel to determine the proper
working procedure and lift strategy.
• Assign a work leader, and follow instructions.

distributor or dealer or other specialist.
Use Genuine Parts Only

Use of non-factory approved parts can lead to fail-
ures in safety and functional systems.
To replace parts such as filters, etc., observe the
parts list and use only the specified factory ap-
proved genuine items.
Use Specified Oils

When replenishing or replacing oils, use recom-
mended brands or grades of oils and greases.
Mixing different brands may change properties of
the oil or grease owing to possible chemical reac-
tions, and be detrimental to machine components.
When using oil or grease of a brand different from
that in the machine, remove all existing oil or
grease, and then refill with the new replacement oil
or grease.

Rated Lifting Capacity Table
The values shown in the rated lifting capacity

table are based on ideal conditions where the
crane is set level on a firm surface, there is no
wind or side load, and the load is not swinging.
When operating the crane under these conditions
is not possible, reduce the load as necessary ac-
cording to the actual operating conditions.
◆The table shown below is an example of the rated lift-

ing capacity table. The rated lifting capacity table for
your crane is located in the crane operator's cab.
◆In the rated lifting capacity table, the values above the
blue line are based on the structural strength of the
crane, whereas the values below that line are based on
the stability of the crane.
◆The stability limit of the rated lifting capacities does
not exceed the values calculated in the Part 2/ISO 4305.
◆For the rated lifting capacities for the boom lengths
which are not listed in the chart, see the AML display.
Rated lifting capacities tables are set up as shown be-

low with the kind of job and the outrigger extension
conditions. For actual values see the rated lifting capaci-
ty tables provided in the crane operator's cab.

◆The area inside the bold line in the figure above

shows the applicable rated lifting capacities.
◆Black marks among K, L, and M represent the actual
positions of outrigger jacks. The black marks in the
above figure shows that the left and right outriggers are
extended fully.
–Example–
While the outrigger extension is as shown below and the
front jack is used (extended), the rated lifting capacities
determined for each working area for boom lift are as
follows:
(1) Over-front area (340°–10°): capacities with outrig-
gers at full extension
(2) Over-right area (10°–145°): capacities with outrig-
gers at middle extension
(3) Over-rear area (145°–200°): capacities with outrig-
gers at full extension
(4) Over-left area (200°–340°): capacities with outriggers
at middle extension
If the outrigger extension is as shown below, the lifting
capacity turns from the one with outriggers at full exten-
sion into the one with outriggers at middle extension
when the boom passes the left rear (200° point) while
swung from the over-rear area into the over-left area.
The lifting capacity turns from the one with outriggers at
middle extension into the one with outriggers at full ex-
tension when the boom is swung further into the
over-left area (340°–10°).

T038330E
Outriggers
Setting the Crane
If the crane is set on inappropriate ground, it is

possible that the crane could overturn. Always set
the crane on firm ground.
The most important factor for safe crane operation is

setting the outriggers on ground firm enough to support
both the mass of the crane and the load to be lifted.
The crane is normally supported by four outriggers dur-
ing operation, but in certain operating positions, a large
part of the crane mass and lifted load mass may end up
being supported by only one outrigger. If this occurs
when the outriggers are set on soft ground, the outrigger
floats may sink into the ground, causing the crane to list
and, in the worst case, overturn.
Some surfaces may appear to be firm, when in fact they
are not hard enough to support the machine. Be espe-
cially careful of the following surfaces:
(1) Asphalt pavement
(2) Sidewalk or other areas with stone pavement
(3) Areas that have been filled in after excavation
(4) Reclaimed land
(5) Areas near the shoulder of a road or the edge of a pit
Preparing the Ground

When it is unavoidable to set the crane on soft ground
or on ground that cannot bear the load of the crane plus
a load to be lifted, carry out the following procedures:
(1) Grade a slope or rough surface so that the crane can
be set in a level position.
(2) Place steel plates or wood blocks on the surfaces
where the outrigger floats are to be located, in order
to distribute the bearing pressure over a larger area.
The steel plates and wood blocks must be sufficiently
strong and large in area and also appropriate for the
ground condition. The outrigger floats must be set at
the center of the plates or blocks.

Extending the Outriggers Full Extension Procedure

1. Remove all four lock pins.
Outriggers with improperly extended beams

cannot assure safety. Adhere to the rated lifting
capacity table, which specifies the correct beam
length for different lifting capacities. Make it a rule
to fully extend the beams whenever possible even
on a crane which is rated for operation on
outriggers at half extension.
The machine can sometimes remain level even
when it is supported on only three jacks. T30108
Operating the machine in such a condition is very

higher (lower) side of the crane. The following explana-
tion assumes that the right side of the crane is higher
(lower).
1. Place the right front and right rear individual control

levers (levers corresponding to the higher (lower) side)
in the JACK position. Move the extend/retract control
lever toward RET. (EXT.) a little at a time to retract (ex-
tend) the jack cylinders on the right side of the crane.

Elevation Slow Stop
Stopping elevating the boom while the slow

stop function is canceled can cause a shock
according to the way of operation. Operate the
crane carefully.
When the cancellation of the slow stop function
is required no more, restore the slow stop func-
tion immediately.
Slow Stop Function

This function prevents abrupt shocks caused by stop of
boom elevation. In the following cases, the boom eleva-
tion speed gradually decreases to stop before the boom
reaches the stoppage position.
(1) When the elevating cylinder is extended to its stroke
end
(2) When the automatic stop is caused by overloading
(3) When the automatic stop is caused by working range
limit function
(4) When the automatic stop is caused by upper boom
angle restriction
Canceling the Slow Stop Function

If the actual job condition requires cancellation of the el-
evation slow stop function, shift the slow elevation stop
switch to OFF side. The elevation slow stop function will
be canceled.
◆To restore the slow stop function, return the switch to
the “ACTIVATED” side.

INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE

T000292E
Inspection and Maintenance
Proper inspection and maintenance helps ensure safety

and prolongs the life of your crane. To keep your crane
in peak condition and maintain optimum performance,
inspect and service it at the recommended intervals. In
this way, you can prevent failures and detect problems
in their early stages.
Two recommended inspection and maintenance inter-
vals are provided; one based on the hourmeter reading
and the other on calendar months; perform inspections
and maintenance according to whichever comes first.
◆The inspection intervals are based on the assumption
that the crane is used under normal operating condi-
tions. If it is used under severe or unusual conditions,
shorten the intervals accordingly.
◆If you are unable to perform any inspection or mainte-
nance work yourself, contact your nearest TADANO
distributor or dealer for assistance.

Pre-Operational
and Periodic Inspection
If you neglect pre-operational and periodic in-

spections, you will not be able to detect problems
in their early stages or prevent consequent
accidents. Make it a habit to perform the recom-
mended pre-operational and periodic inspections.
If you find any abnormality, take corrective action
immediately.
◆For inspection and maintenance of the optional heater

itself, refer to the separate heater operation and mainte-
nance manual.

Safety Parts Requiring

Regular Replacement
Be sure to replace safety parts regularly.

Neglecting to replace the safety parts regularly
can cause accidents.
Some components of your machine use parts which

wear with time. It is not always easy to determine when
they should be replaced, even if the periodic inspection
is performed as recommended. For safety, such parts
must be replaced regularly.The following table gives the
replacement intervals for the major safety parts. Contact
your nearest TADANO distributor or dealer to have
these parts replaced at the regular intervals.

After Replacing Wire Rope

◆A new wire rope is prone to improper winding. Check
the rope on the winch drum from time to time. If it is im-
properly wound, rewind it neatly.
◆When first using a new wire rope, lift light loads at low
speeds in order to settle the strands. This helps prolong
the life of the wire rope.
When the wire rope is replaced, the new wire rope

wound around the winch drum does not have the proper
tension. If a load is hoisted with the rope at improper
tension, the wraps in an outer rope layer will become
wedged between the wraps in an inner layer, possibly
deforming the wire rope, or causing improper winding,
broken wires, etc. Before actually lifting a load, apply the
proper tension to the wire rope and rewind as follows:
1. Extend the boom, and unwind the wire rope until

about three wraps are left on the winch drum.
2. Suspend a load to give tension to the wire rope

and then wind the rope tightly around the winch drum.
Use a load of the mass obtained by the following equa-
tion:
[Load of the mass]
=[Allowable load per line]x0.3x[Number of parts of line]
(For the allowable load per wire rope, see the "INFOR-
MATION AND DATA" part.)
