△Crane transport

The crane components have been constructed to be broken into modules to simplify
packing and handling for different means of transport(railway carriages, containers,
trucks etc.).
1、All components must be well secured tothe means of transportation.
2、Light modules must be placed on the top Of heavy ones.
3、To prevent damages to the paintedsurfaces,
place padded or woodenseparating material
between the elements.
4、Make sure the crane components are not in
direct contact with the ground during the
unloading phases to prevent impurities
(sand, earth etc.) from entering the mounting
holes.
5、Do not use unsuitable means of transport to move the crane parts, such as bulldo-
-zers or lift trucks.
A detailed description of the weights and dimensions of the ZOOMLION crane com-
-ponents is given in the following pages.
a、Before transporting crane, allways make sure all auxiliary equipment is safety stow-
-ed away.
b、Inspection of all loose parts fasteners.
c、Check transportation tie-downs.
d、While using public streets, observe the applicable rules.e、While passing under-
-passes, bridges,tunnels be mindful of ample clearances.

﹣Prohibited (Improper) use


Can't be used under the explosive circumstance,including the thunderous weather;
Can't be used under the lower visibility,including the situation that the wind speed is
higher than regulation capacity.

△Lightning Protection
Before setting into operation the operator has to consider the necessity of lightning
protection measures and/or earthing measures concerning electrostatic charge and, if
necessary, he has to carry out the appropriate earthing measure!
Whether or not the crane has to be provided with a lightning protection depends on
the regulations and specifications of the appropriate supervising authority, on the
rules for prevention of accidents of the employer's liability insurance association, on

Page:12 / 123
Changsha Zoomlion Heavy Industry
Science and Technology Development Co. Ltd.
the recommendations of the property insurance companies etc., and on the request of
the building owner.

Notes: Not connected with the steel reinforcement of the building foundation.

●The rails must be earthed at both


ends. If the rail track is more than
20 m long, additional earthing points
should be installed every 20 meters.
If there are no other earthing devices
available one earthing rod which
must be driven at least 1.5 m into the
ground will suffice for each point.
Bolt M10 with Earthing rod which
●If there is steel rod or mat reinforcement inspring
the foundation
washer must be driven at
of the building, there must be placed a
connection link between the reinforcement and one rail. Climbing cranes must be
connected twice.
●Equipment, machines, metal pipes within 20m of the rails of the tower crane track
must be linked to the rails.
●Rail joints assembled by steel fishplates do not need to be bridged for lightning
protection.
●In order to protect the electrical equipment of the components, we recommend
installing over voltage arresters at the mains supply connection.

3.3 General layout of tower crane


3.3.1Assembly relation of main components for stationary crane
(Fig3-2)

Fig3-2

Page:26 / 123
Changsha Zoomlion Heavy Industry
Science and Technology Development Co. Ltd.
The TC6015A tower crane, with embedded anchors or with an undercarriage, in-
-dependent hoisting height is 60m. 2-fall or 4-fall wire ropes may be used for hoisting
purpose. The tower sections are integral construction of square shaped steel tube str-
-ucture. The base section of tower body or the undercarriage is connected to the foun-
-dation. Mast sections are connected to slewing ring support and slewing tower body
throught the upper support and slewing ring. The operator cab is set at the side of the
upper support with the jib in front and counter-jib behind. The hoisting mechanism is
located at the rear of the counter-jib and the slewing mechanism is symmetrically loc-
-ated on both sides of the upper support. The trolley is pulled by trolleying mechanism
to make to-and-fro movements along the jib. The jib and counter-jib are connected to
the tower head by the rigid tie rods.
The lower end of the slewing ring support is the climbing frame, which surrounds
the tower body. To meet construction needs, jacking mechanism can jack the upper
structure of the tower body to let in mast sections for increasing tower crane height.
3.3.2 Anchored State(show as Fig3-3、Fig3-4)
The maximum hoisting height can reach 60m when crane is stationary with
embedded anchors. If the hoisting height must be over 60m, it must be fastened with
tie-in onto the building and mast tie frame. The maximum hoisting height can reach
220m when the crane is fastened with tie-in onto the building. When the height is ≤
110m, hoisting can be done with 2-fall or 4-fall, but if the height is >110m, only 2-fall
can do the job. The tower crane anchored-to-building has the same structural layout
as stationary type, only with the exception of tower
section M added to the tower body for higher
hoisting. To enhance tower crane stability and
tower body rigidity, several anchors are provided
along the whole height of the tower body. If the
maximum hoisting height is 220m, the crane must
be equipped with 7anchors. Standard attachment,
the tower body center has to be kept 5m away
from the building. In case of the actual distance of
the project not in compliance with this requirement,
just contact our company for further information.

3.6 Rope-winding system of hoisting mechanism
After installation,wind hoistingropes.
As shown in Fig3-33, the hoisting rope is
released from the wire rope drum, going
through the guide pulley on tower head,
going down into the pulley of overload
limiter in the tower head, runing further to
the trolley and hook pulley block.It is finally
fixed on the anti-torsion device at the jib tip
by rope clips Figure 3-33 hoisting wire rope layout

3.7 Power on and Trial operation Figure3- 33 hoisting wire rope layout
After the installation of the whole crane according to the above steps, check the
verticality of tower body axis at no wind conditions. The verticality tolerance is 4/1000.
Switch on power to all electric circuits according to the electric circuit diagram and start
all mechanisms for test run. Check mechanism for proper operations (details, refer to
relevant instructions). At the same time, check wire ropes at different locations for normal
working and for any friction with structure member. Remove all abnormal cases.
If the tower crane needs to be put into service immediately after the installation, the
safety device must be adjusted as specified in Chapter 4st-adjusting
3.8 Fall-change system
The automatic fall-change system consists of 3 parts, i.e. the trolley, upper pulley
block and lower pulley block (incl. hoisting hook). They mount on the jib (Fig3-34),rope
winding on the trolley and upper-lower pulley blocks (Fig3-35) and the connection-
-disconnection of the upper pulley block to lower pulley block enable conversion of 2-fall
and 4-fall (referred to hereinafter as fall-change).

figure 3-34 schematic diagram of the installation of trolley on jib

Page:49 / 123
Changsha Zoomlion Heavy Industry
Science and Technology Development Co. Ltd.
The fall-change is converted at the jib root section under
the conditions of no-load, slow speed and no swing. No
matter how it is required to convert 2 fall to 4-fall or to
convert 4-fall to 2-fall, the by-pass switch must at first be
turned to the by-pass status to disable the height limiter.
After conversion completion, the by-pass switch must
be restored to its original status. At the 2 fall working
conditions, the upper pulley block (1) with automatic
connections contacts tightly the trolley. The upper pulley
figure 3-35 schematic
block is connected automatically to the lowerpulley block diagram of trolley hoisting
through 2 connection plates (2). The plates have waist-
shaped long holes (3) for connection and locking through pins (4)on the lower pulley
block.
The upper pulley block is disconnected from the lower pulley block through the
unlocking device (5). This device is fixed on the upper portion of the trolley by spring (6).
When the trolley moves to the jib root, a wedge piece(9) under the jib acts on the co-
-nnection plate (2) through this device so as to open the plate (2), thus the upper pulley
block is disconnected from the lower pulley block.

3.8.1 Method for 2-fall to 4-fall conversion(Fig3-36)


3.8.1.1 Before conversion, the upper pulleyblock (1) has tightly contacted the trolley
andthe connection plate (2) is at a close state.
3.8.1.2 Move the trolley to a position near the jib root wedge and stop there (Attention:
at this time, the unlocking device(5) is unable tocontact the wedge (9)).Lift slowly the
lower pulley block at no-load and no swing conditions.
When the connection(2) contacts the pins (4) tail on the lower pulley block, the
connection plate will rotate with the pins (7) as the center,thus being pushed open.
When the long waist-shapedhole (3) on the connection plate is against the pins (4) on
the lower pulley block, the connection plate will be closed. At this time the lower pulley
block must stop rising, thus combining automatically the upper pulley block and lower
pulley block into one unit.
3.8.1.3 While the hoisting hook is going down, the pulley block is at a working state of
4-fall. Lower the pulley block down to the ground, put the safety pins (8) into the upper
hole of the lower pulley blockto lock connection plate, thus the processof 4-fall is conve-
-rsion completed.

3.8.2 Method for 4-fall to 2- fall conversion figure 3-37
3.8.2.1Lower the hoist hook onto the ground and place the safety pin (8) into the lower
hole on the pulley block. Release the locking connection plate (2). (Fig3-37a).
3.8.2.2 Lift the hoisting hook to İts maximum working height. Move the trolley to the jib
root and stop it at a spot where the unlocking device (5) is 100~200mm away from the
wedge(9). Continue to lift the hoisting hook slowly to make the pulley block tightly con-
-tact the trolley, and the upper pul- -ley block-lower pulley block contact each other
before stop. At this location, the pin (4) on the lower pulley block is at the upper portion
of the long hole (3) on the connection plate (2), thus no more locking the connection
plate. Move the trolley slowly along the wedge(9) in the jib root direction. (Fig.37b).
3.8.2.3 With the inward movement of the trolley, the unlocking device moves downwards
to act on the connection plate (2) and make the plate (2) rotate with the pin (7) as its cen-
-ter until the plate has been opened fully before stop (Fig3-37c).(Attention: Never let the
unlocking device on the trolley move into the wedge, otherwise the trolley will be unable
to change its working radius)
3.8.2.4 Lower the hook and move the trolley forwards. The upper pulley block contacts
tightly the trolley due to wire rope tensile forces. The lower pulley block moves with the
hook, thus completing 4-fall to 2-fall conversion (Fig3-37d).

3.9 Jacking operation for adding sections


3.9.1 Pre-jacking preparations
3.9.1.1 Fill the oil tank with hydraulic oil according to the requirements of hydraulic
pump station. Be sure of the electric motor correctly connected, the fan turned to the
right and the operating lever of hand control valve working smoothly without any clogg-
-ing.
3.9.1.2 Put in order each mast section MQ and apply the grease into its connection
boltholes. Line up the tower sections MQ under jib before jacking. This will enable no
use of the slewing mechanism in the whole process of jacking operation for adding
sections, thus minimizing the jacking time.
3.9.1.3 Loosen the power cable length slightly in excess of the total jacking height,
and then fix the cable.
3.9.1.4 Slew the jib to the front of the climbing frame and the counter-jib at the rear
of climbing frame (jacking cylinder is just under the counter-jib).
3.9.1.5 Preparation should be made on the platform to inlet wheels and high-tensile
bolts for tower sections on the climbing frame.

3.9.2 Keep the tower crane in balance before jacking operation
3.9.2.1 Before keeping the tower crane in balance, hoist one tower section MQ onto the
introduction platform and then move the trolley to the reference balance position shown
as Fig3-38. Hoist one mast section or other weights (The trolley position in table is an
approximate value, which must be adjusted according to the actual situation in jacking).
Then remove all the bolts connecting outriggers of the slewing ring support to tower se-
-ction.
3.9.2.2 Push the operation handle of the hydraulic jacking system to <<Jacking direc-
-tion>> to jack the climbing frame to a position where the legs of slewing ring support
are just disengaged from the main chord rod of the tower body.
3.9.2.3 Check if the outrigger of slewing ring support is on the same vertical line with the
chord of the tower section. Check 16 guide rollers on the climbing frame and tower body
main chord rod to make sure that they have the same clearance. This serves to deter-
-mine whether or not the tower crane is in balance. If not, adjust until balance is achiev-
-ed so as to drop the center of gravity of the upper tower crane onto the position of
jacking cylinder beams.

Figure3-38 keep the tower crane

3.9.2.4 Record the balance position of the trolley for the convenience of dismantling.
This mark position varies with different jib lengths.
3.9.2.5 Operate the hydraulic system to lower down the sleeve frame. Connect the
slewing ring support to tower sections MQ with bolts.

3.9.3 Jacking operation (shown as Fig3-39)
3.9.3.1 Hoist another mast section and drive the trolley to the position for balance, shown
as Fig3-38.
3.9.3.2 Use the brake on the slewing mechanism to hold the tower superstructure at a
slewing braking status, thus ensuring no slewing movements.
3.9.3.3 Remove the eight bolts connecting tower section to slewing ring support.
3.9.3.4 Start hydraulic jack system; extrude the piston of the cylinder place the pins of
both ends of the jack beam into the cradle of the climbing lugs on tower section nearest
to the beam (It should be checked by a specially- designed watchdog). Erect the
climbing frame and the upper part until it reaches the height of 10~50mm. Check if there
are any strange sounds, deformation, any self-retreat of piston rod etc, after confirmation
go on to erect until it reaches the height of half the tower section, the support latches on
the climbing frame pass through a pair of climbing lugs and resets automatically, then
retreat the jack to let the support latches stay at the upper climbing lugs, confirm that the
two support latches press the top of climbing lugs and bear the weight of climbing f rame
and the upper part without any strange sound and deformation, retreat the piston
completely, lift jack beam so as to support the cradle of climbing lugs. Erect the upper
part of tower crane to a height of a little more than half the tower section so that the
space is fit for a tower section, drag the tower section on the inlet platform of climbing
frame into upper part of tower, retreat the jack slightly so that the new tower section
alight at the top of tower and conduct proper alignment, remove the inlet wheels, fasten
the upper and lower sections with eight pieces of M36 bolts with torque of 2400kN·m,
each bolt must be equipped with two nuts.

Retreat the jack once more to let the lower of slewing ring support alight at the top of
new mast and conduct proper alignment, then fasten ring support to tower section with
eight pieces of M36 high-tensile bolts, each bolt must be equipped with two nuts. Then a
tower section is mounted. If several sections are to be mounted, just repeat procedures
mentioned above,As for proper alignment of slewing ring support with connecting bolt
holes, insert four guiding rods into four bolt holes at the corners of slewing ring support
before retreat the jack.

3.9.4 General Notices of Jacking Operation:


3.9.4.1 Jacking operation is prohibited when the wind speed at the high-
-est top exceeding 12m/s.
3.9.4.2 Keep the jib in the same direction as the in-let tower section during jacki-
-ng operation. Stop the jib with the slewing mechanism brake be sure of the trolley
stopping at the jack-balanced position.
3.9.4.3 If several tower sections are to be mounted, after mounting a section, all
the chords of the section must be fastened with 8 pieces of M36 bolts before hooking
another section. Only at this time, it is permitted to use one nut of each bolt.
3.9.4.4 Keep the climbing lugs on the newly added tower section in alignment wi-
-th those on the existed sections.
3.9.4.5 It is prohibited to slew, change work-radius and hoist load without conne-
-ction of the slewing ring support to the tower body by 8 pieces of M36 bolts.
3.9.4.6 If the jacking hydraulic system has become abnormal in the course of
jacking, stop immediately the jacking operation, retract the oil cylinder, lower the
slewing ring support onto the top of tower body and use 8 M36 bolts to connect the
slewing ring support to the tower body before removing troubles from the hydraulic
system.
3.9.4.7 When tower section reaches the desired working height, turn the jib to
different directions, check if all the joints of the tower section, bolts for foundation
are fastened sufficiently with two nuts.

3.10.3 Load on anchoring points table 3.5


Before tower crane erection, customers or installation organizations are required
to make necessary estimates of the load-bearing capability at building anchoring poi-
-nts (for the of connection foundation-fixing spots), as well as the construction period
of the reinforced concrete structure affecting the anchoring point strength and similar
factors. In the table 3.5, it gives the anchoring forces imposed at the anchoring points
of the building ,at working and non-working conditions when the tower crane has its
anchoring strut rods layout and location as shown in Figure3-41. The building’s anch-
-oring point shall not have its load-bearing capability smaller than the values shown in
the table.

Attention:
Load values at anchoring points vary to a great extent with the relative
positions of the tower crane to the building, the struts layout and size, the
height of the tower body suspension sections over the anchored frame. If the tower
crane anchoring position, anchoring strut layout and size are not in compliance with
what is shown in Fig3-41during tower crane attachment, just contact our company for
advice. Never apply mechanically this issue by using the values in Table 3.5 in order
to avoid serious accidents.
3.10.4 Pull anchoring tie frames onto the tower body, use 4 inner tie rods to press
them against 4 main chord rods of the tower body and connect them to its web rods.
Use pins to connect one end of the tie rod to the attaching frame and another end to
the connection pedestal fixed to the building.
3.10.4.1 4 sets of anchoring tie rod on each frame shall be kept at the same
horizontal plane. If they are interfered with some positions of the tower body during
mounting of anchoring frames and inner tie rods, the height of frames will properly be
raised or lowered. The permitted height difference of anchoring frames to foundation
connection shall not be greater than 200mm.
3.10.4.2The walkway for personnel passage from the building to tower crane can
be placed on the anchoring tie rod, however no stockpiling of heavy objects on it.
3.10.5 During the mount of anchoring device, use the theodolite to check the axis
of tower body for verticality. Its deviation shall not be greater than 5/1000 of the total
tower crane height. This deviation can be achieved by adjusting the length of the strut
rods.

Chapter Ⅱ Dismantling
3.13 Precautions for tower crane dismantle
3.13.1 Conduct maintenance and test-run for the jacking mechanism
before moving the tower crane out of the construction site.
3.13.2 Check limiters, slewing mechanism brakes and similar devices for reliability
during test-run.
3.13.3 It is prohibited to use the slewing mechanism, trolleying mechanism and
hosting mechanism before the tower crane mast sections have been dismantled and
the slewing ring support has not been connected to the tower body by 8 M36 high-
-tensile bolts.
3.13.4 Check frequently the main stressed parts of the jacking mechanism, as the
tower crane dismantling is a heavy and continuous work for the jacking mechanism.
3.13.5 While the jacking mechanism is working, all operating personnel are
required to focus their attention on observing the relative positions of moving parts for
being normal (e.g. between rollers and main chord rods, between climbing frame and
tower body.).
3.13.6 Carry off dismantling when the wind speed is lower than 12m/s at the high-
-est point. Take care of the stockpile location of dismantled parts because the building
has been constructed and working site space is limited during tower crane dismantling.
No carelessness in this operation, otherwise personal safety accidents will be likely.

3.14 Special caution:


tower dismantling is a highly technical work, especially the dismantling
of the mast sections of tower body, counter-weight,counter-jib and jib.
Any slight neglect will cause machine damage, personal injury or death.
End-users are therefore required to strictly follow the Instructions-specified rules to
dismantle these components. Tower operators shall have been trained and with
certificates.
Notice:Pay great attention to the two climbing latches during inlet or
dismantle of tower section. Inspect if the latches are still in proper level
condition.Mov the tower crane to the dismantling area where there shall
be no obstacles influencing the operation. Carry out tower crane
dismantling
according to the sequence as shown in Fig3-47 Its steps are in opposition to the steps
of tower crane erection.Strictly follow the instructions specified rules in all cases.
The concrete sequence of the dismantling as following:
1) Lower down the tower sections (dismantle anchored devices if any).
2) Dismantle counter-weights from counter-jib. (Keep one piece of 3t counter-
weight)

lugs, then reset the latches at level, go on to lower until the latches reaches the next
climbing lugs and bear the weight of upper parts confidently, retreat the cylinder
again.
3.14.1.6 Put the climbing beam to the step lug at lower position and erect the
climbing frame until the latches can be turn at 900 again, retract oil cylinder to let the
next section contact the slewing ring support.
3.14.1.7Connect slewing ring support to tower section with bolts, hook the tower
section on the inlet platform to the ground.
Attention:
In the course of lowering climbing frame, it is necessary to dispatch
special persons to turn the latches when it passes through the climbing
lugs and the bolts of the tower section, and another persons to observe the jacking
beam and the guide rollers. There should be not any barriers to interrupt the climbing
frame for smooth lowering.
Repeat the above actions to dismantle the tower sections in sequence.
If the tower has to be further dismantled after the tower body has been dismantled to
the safety height, it is necessary to dismantle at first the counter-weight from the
counter-jib.

4- Adjusting
4.1 Pre-check

— Switch on the power switch on the ground to supply power to the operator cab.
Check 3-phase power supply for balance. Check voltage for 400V±5%
— Operate the hoisting handle to watch the hoisting operation. When pulling the
handle inwards, the hoisting hook shall move upwards. When pushing the ha-
-ndle outwards, the hook shall move downwards. If not so, adjust the phase
sequence of power supply of the hoisting motor to meet the above requireme-
-nts.
— Operate the slewing handle and trolley-radius-changing handle respectively.
When pushing the handle to the left, the jib shall slew to the left. When pu-
-shing the handle to the right, the jib shall slew to the right. When pulling the
radius-changing handle inwards, the trolley shall travel inwards. When pu-
-shing the handle outwards, the trolley shall travel outwards. If not so, adjust
the phase sequence of power supply of respective motor to meet the above
requirements.

4.2 Power-on test run


4.2.1 Switch on the power switch on the ground to supply power to the operator cab.
Check 3-phase power supply for balance. Check voltage for 400V±5% (The gro-
-und power net shall supply adequate capacity to protect normal motor start and
operation).
4.2.2 Release the height limiter and radius limiter. Arrange the wire ropes of the trolley
to match mechanical erection.
4.2.3 Operate the hoisting handle to watch the hoisting operation. When pulling the
handle inwards, the hoisting hook shall move upwards. When pushing the han-
-dle outwards, the hook shall move downwards. If not so, adjust the phase sequ-
-ence of power supply of the hoisting motor to meet the above requirement.
4.2.4 After completion of hoisting test-run, operate the slewing handle and trolley-
radius-changing handle respectively. When pushing the handle to the left, the jib

Page:70 / 123
Changsha Zoomlion Heavy Industry
Science and Technology Development Co. Ltd.
shall slew to the left. When pushing the handle to the right, the jib shall slew to
the right. When pulling the radius-changing handle inwards, the trolley shall trav-
-el inwards. When pushing the handle outwards, the trolley shall travel outwards.
If not so, adjust the phase sequence of power supply of respective motor to me-
-et the above requirements. (Two slewing mechanisms shall separately be test-
-run to ensure slewing directions in conformity).
4.2.5 Notice for proper operation
4.2.5.1 After power supply to the operator cab (before pneumatic switch on), power
for the blocking light and lighting in operator cab can be supplied through switc-
-hes on the control panel. The sockets are also available for fan plugs.
4.2.5.2 Press start-button, and all operating handles shall return to zero, so as to
power on the master contactor.
4.2.5.3. 2 slewing mechanisms, with the technology of frequency altering and
stepless speed regulated, start smoothly and slew fast.

4.2.5.4. To prevent reversed slewing or emergency stop from any damage to the
tower crane, electrics are provided with time-delayed devices. When the jib sle-

ws to the right (or left), it cannot immediately slew to the left (or right) at a rated speed.
Several-second delay is necessary. After the slewing handle returned to zero,
immediate braking cannot be done due to several seconds delay.

4.2.5.5. No braking and emergency stop at revered slewing though the crane is equ-
-ipped with above-mentioned time-delay device.

4.2.5.6.Frequency converter is available for the operation of radius-changing mecha-


-nism. Proper speed is selected to suit different work conditions.

4.2.5.7.Before jacking, check the rotation direction of pump station motor in confor-
-mity to your requirements. If not, adjust the rotation to the correct direction. It is
pro- -hibited to slew, hoist and change working radius during jacking. This aims
at accident prevention and no breaking of the power cable due to twisting.

No free adjustment of the time-delayed relay and over-current relay in the control
cabinet, they have been adjusted in the factory as specified. Any component replace-
-ments should be conducted according to the instructions for the electrical system.

b.Erection and operation of the hydraulic system
1) Oil cleaning
Screw open air filter II, fill 10µ hydraulic oil filtered by hand-held oil filter into
the oil tank up to the upper limit mark. After that, start the oil pump motor (look
down at the motor blades to see if the rotation direction is the same as that
marked at the motor tail)

Page:72 / 123
Changsha Zoomlion Heavy Industry
Science and Technology Development Co. Ltd.
Pay attention to the fact that the pump may be rotated either left or
right. Wrong wiring will cause no system working and pump
burn-down.
2) Connect high-pressure hose openings for clean status.
Connect ports A.B of the hydraulic pump station to the hydraulic cylinders
through high-pressure hose. Screw down the connectors.
3) Air exhausting of the system
Unscrew the handle of overflow valve, and then the high-pressure
hose-to-port A connector. Move the handle of hand-operated valve to its up
position. Start the motor to drive the air out of Port A until the pump noise has
become normal and no foam formation from oil liquid. Make the cylinder into
no-load status. Push the operating handle to let upper cylinder or piston rod
move up and down at full strokes for several times to completely exhaust the
air from cylinder into oil tank through oil hose
When the piston rod has moved to its extreme position, pull back
the handle immediately to its middle position and keep this
position for several minutes until air bubbles in oil tank have
disappeared, and then carry out another action.
4) System operation
Before system operation, check if the oil cylinder is well connected to the
crane frame, including the check of relevant portions of the tower crane for
meeting relevant technical requirements.
Maximum working pressure setting:
Unscrew the locking nuts, in front of the control handle, of high-pressure overflow
valve 5 at non-jacking operation status. Start motor. Move the operating handle to
upper position and extend the cylinder piston rod to its extreme position. At this time,
pressure gauge readings rise. Keep on screwing down the handle of the overflow va-
-lve until the readings on pressure gauge have become stable at 31.5 Mpa. Screw do-
-wn the locking nut in front of the regulating handle of the high-pressure overflow valv-
-e (The overflow valve shall not be adjusted by unauthorized or untrained person).
Operate the handle in a reverse direction to retract the piston rod. Finally move the
handle back to its middle position.

Page:73 / 123
Changsha Zoomlion Heavy Industry
Science and Technology Development Co. Ltd.
Start motor, and move operating handle to its up position. Extrude the cylinder
piston rod to hang the hanging plate connected to the piston rod into the lugs slot of
the tower mast section. Carry out the jacking operation for new section adding (or
tower section dismantling).
c.Maintenance and precautions of hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is super high-pressure or high-pressure equipment. The
whole process from oil filling to adjustment shall be accomplished strictly according to
the stipulations in its operating instructions.

Hydraulic oil for the system

The hydraulic system shall use the anti-friction hydraulic oil AW46 by ESSO,USA,
which can't be mixed with other oils. Unfiltered oil can't be filled directly. When
foam is found in the oil and oil is emulsified, the oil tank should be cleaned imme-
-diately and fill new oil.
Filling oil: Fully fill the tank with oil for the first time. After start-up, extrude the
cylinder rod, and then retract the cylinder rod. At this time, fill the tank with
make-up oil up to the tank upper limit mark
At this time it is a high-pressure hydraulic system with strict requirements of
highly cleaned oil, which should be filtered for 4~6 hours by hand –hold filter. The
oil cleanness should reach 7~8 grade,NAS1638 before starting the system.
The oil should be completely changed after the system work for 2,400hr and add
part of clean oil after working for 200hr

4.3.2 setting maximum working pressure

(1). Unscrew the locking nuts of high-pressure overflow valve in front of the control
handle at non-jacking operation status.

(2). Start motor. Move the operating handle to upper position and extend the
cylinder piston rod to its extreme position.

(3). Keep on screwing down the handle of the overflow valve until the readings on
pressure gauge have become stable at 31.5 Mpa.

The overflow valve can not be adjusted by untrained person

4.4.1.3Drive the mechanism under control to an designed position (without load ) to
meet the requirements. At this time, the micro-switch should make transient
change-over corresponding to the action of this mechanism i.e. adjust the
corresponding axle (z) to make the memory gear (T) press down the micro-switch
(WK) contact.
4.4.1.4 Screw down M5 nuts (be sure of screwing them down, otherwise foul-up
memory will occur).
4.4.1.5 Make the mechanism operate under no-load condition again and again
several times to check memorized positions for accuracy (repeat the above
adjustments in case of deviations)
4.4.1.6 Make sure that the position is as specified. Screw down M5 nuts and re-cover
the casing.
4.4.1.7 After the mechanism working normally, check at certain interval the memory
control position for deviations. Correct the deviations if any.

NOTICE:
For the 4-loop limits(DXZ-4/7、DXZ-4/F) that used in hoist and trolley, long
cam is for the purpose of limiting the speed, short cam is for the purpose of
limiting the radius;and the limit switch of Slewing limit must be connected to
the long cam switch.

4.4.2 Adjustment for hook height limit (2-fall when adjusting)


4.4.2.1 Adjusting procedures according to 3.1.1
4.4.2.2 Adjust at no-load conditions. Press down micro-switches (1WK、2WK) by

1. After wire rope changed, the height limit shall be adjusted again.
Otherwise the hook may crash the trolley and the wire rope breaks, which may
lead to the crane destroying and people death.
2. If the adjustment of height limit in 2-fall, the limit radius and speed will be
doubled when the wire rope transformed from 2-fall to 4-fall. If the adjustment of
height limit in 4-fall, there are no limit function in the condition of 2-fall.The
users should pay great attention to it.
4.4.3 Adjustment for slewing limit (the same procedures as item 3.1.1)

4.7 Operation of anti-twist device (shown as Fig4-7)


a. Hoisting ropes are non-rotating (anti-twist) ones. The anti-twist device
shall lock tightly the locking bolts while the tower crane is at service.

b. If hoisting ropes are ordinary wire rope, the anti-twist device shall unlock
the locking bolts while the tower crane is at working.

c. After changing for new wire ropes, the hoisting hook will rotate at no-load
operation. At this time, unlock the anti-twist device, wire ropes will freely
rotate till it is identical with the hoisting hook .If the anti-twist device is at
locked status, no-load operation for a long period, it will cause steel ropes
twisted along the whole length until the hook no longer rotates.

d. When the tower crane has been used for a long period of time, steel ropes
will be made longer and slightly twisted. At this time, unlock the anti-twist
device for the time being until ropes have been tensioned, then lock the
device once again.

e. Once steel ropes have their strands loosened, the anti-twist device will
accelerate rope deterioration. Therefore change the deteriorated ropes
timely as required.

4.8 Working mechanisms of the tower crane


The working mechanisms of the tower crane consist of the hoisting
mechanism, slewing mechanism, trolley traveling mechanism and jacking
mechanism.

4.8.1 hoist mechanism(shown as Fig4-8.1)

Page:82 / 123
Changsha Zoomlion Heavy Industry
Science and Technology Development Co. Ltd.
The model of hoist mechanism for the tower crane is QE8100D2, motor model
YZRDW250L-4/8, equipped with draft fan,

with the function of high-speed light-load

hoisting and low-speed heavy-load hoisting.

The minimum stable speed is smaller than

5m/min to ensure stable hoisting and braking

of objects. The wire drum is provided with the

hook height limiter. When objects have been

hoisted to the highest position, the hoisting

mechanism will stop automatically.

4.8.2 slewing mechanisms (Fig4.8.2) Fig4-8.1

There are 2 sets of slewing mechanisms symmetrically arranged on both sides of


slewing ring. They are driven by 2 sets of 95N.m motors model
YTLEJ112L-4F1andYTLEJ112L-4F2BMZL. They drive the pinions through planet
gear reducer, hence making the jib and counter-jib slew to the left or the right. The
one motor is provided with disc brakes at tits tail,which is kept at constant close status.
The slewing brakes are used at windy conditions. They can hold the tower crane in
the specified direction and location while hoisting or jacking operation is going on. It is
forbidden to stop by brake.

The reducer of the slewing mechanism is lubricated with grease(000# grease), When
maintained or the level of oil dropped, supplements grease in time to guarantee the level of
grease arrive at the bolt of oil.

4.8.3Trolleying mechanism(Fig4-8.3a)
a. The trolleying mechanism is for radius changing by the trolley. When doing ra-
-dius changing, the frequency conversion motor (model: YEJ132S-4B5 with magnetic
disk brake) drives the drum through the planetary reducer, thus making the trolley tra-
-vel to-and-fro along the jib. Travel traction is done by 2 wire ropes (6×19-9.3-1700-Ⅱ
-right twisted). One end of the two wire ropes are fixed at both ends of the wire drum,
wound on the drum and led separately to the front and rear of the jib. They pass over
the guide pulleys at the jib root and jib tip. Another end of the wire rope are fixed on
the trolley. In the course of radius changing, one rope retracts and the other rope
extrudes for the normal operation of trolley. When the trolley travels to its minimum or
maximum radius, the number of turns of both ropes on the wire drum shall not be less
than 3.

(3). Before attempting to lift a load, the operator must check the safety devices and
limit switches one by one, and run the crane without loads. After confirming all
devices without problem he can run the crane with loads. It is forbidden to operate
the crane with loads when the safety devices don’t work.

(4). During operating:


¾ The operator must operate the crane according to the instruction of the crane
and the regulations which are framed by the government or the trade. It is
forbidden to overload, pull loads at an oblique angle, use the crane to drag loads
which have stuck fast and lift the weight-unknown loads.
¾ Avoiding the load hook to drop on to the ground can prevent accidents caused
by slack and no neatly hoisting rope. If the load hook must drop on to the
ground, the operator should check the rope on the drum. It is necessary to wind
it again until neatly.
¾ The operator must give warning whistle when necessary.
¾ The operation of the mechanism must be smoothly, and the change of speed
from low to high must be step by step. Slewing movement of the crane can not
be braked by applying reverse slewing and emergency braking.During hoisting
or lowering, the shifting-gears cannot be used for a long time under load. The
detail is mentioned in the instruction of the crane
¾ When a load is suspended, the operator and the signalman must not leave
