Adjusting Automatic Boom Stop
See
for the following procedure.
The limit switch for the automatic boom stop was set at the
factory and should not require periodic adjustment.
Adjustment is necessary when:
•
Parts are replaced
•
The boom/luffing jib configuration is changed
The following instructions assume that the RCL/RCI is
installed and properly calibrated.
During the following procedure, the boom angle is monitored
on the working screen of the RCL/RCI and on a digital
protractor-level (14) (see View C).
1.
Park the crane on a firm level surface or level the crane
by blocking under the crawlers.
2.
Make sure the correct adjusting rod (2a or 2b) is
installed:
•
Adjusting rod (2a) for 83° boom angle
•
Adjusting rod (2b) for 85° boom angle
3.
Boom up slowly while monitoring the boom angle on the
RCL/RCI working screen.
4.
Stop boom up when the boom reaches the specified
maximum switch boom angle. (See Maximum Switch
Boom Angle table in View C.)
NOTE:
The maximum switch boom angle is greater than
the maximum boom angle to allow for boom
deflection.
5.
Verify the boom angle with an accurate digital protractor-
level (14) placed on the boom butt bottom chord (15)
(see View C). The corresponding digital level angle (16)
should appear on the protractor-level.
•
If the boom stops at the specified angle, further
adjustment is not needed.
•
If the boom stops before reaching the specified
angle, go to
•
If the boom reaches the specified angle before it
stops, go to
.
6.
If the boom stops before reaching the specified angle,
perform the following:
a.
Loosen the jam nut (3).
b.
Turn the adjusting rod (2a or 2b) all the way into the
coupling (4).
c.
Boom up slowly until the boom reaches the
specified angle.
d.
Turn the adjusting rod out against the stop plate on
the boom butt (1) until the limit switch (5) clicks
open.
e.
Tighten the jam nut.
7.
If the boom reaches the specified angle before it stops,
perform the following:
a.
Loosen the jam nut (3) (see View B).
b.
Turn the adjusting rod (2a or 2b) out against the
boom butt (1) until the limit switch (5) clicks open.
c.
Tighten the jam nut.
8.
Verify the position of the actuator rod (11) relative to the
limit switch roller to ensure there is over-travel (12) (see
View A).
9.
Boom down and then boom back up. The boom must
stop at the specified maximum switch boom angle.
10.
If the boom does not stop at the specified angle, repeat
Replacing Boom Stop Limit Switch Actuator Rod
See
1.
Disassemble the boom stop switch unit (6).
2.
Assemble the boom stop switch unit using the following
instructions:
a.
Position the actuator rod (11) so the tapered end
just touches the limit switch roller (see View B). The
actuator rod must not depress the limit switch shaft.
b.
Drill a 6,35 mm (1/4 in) hole through the spring
washer (9) and actuator rod.
c.
Install the spring pin (10).
d.
Push the actuator rod in until the limit switch clicks
open. Check position of the limit switch roller to
ensure there is over-travel (12) (see View A).
WARNING
Falling Attachment Hazard!
Do not operate the crane unless the boom stop limit
switch is properly adjusted and operational. Do not adjust
the maximum operating angle higher than specified. The
boom could be pulled over backward or collapse, causing
death or serious injury.
