MLC650 SERVICE/MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
1
Stored Energy Safety Precautions
•
Do not remove an actuating cylinder until the actuated
part has been securely restrained against movement.
•
Pressurized air, coolant, and hydraulic oil can cause
serious injury. Make sure all air, coolant, and hydraulic
lines, fittings, and components are tight and serviceable.
Do not use your hands to check for air and hydraulic oil
leaks:
-
Use a soap-and-water solution to check for air leaks
(apply to fittings and lines and watch for bubbles).
-
Use a piece of cardboard or wood to check for
coolant and hydraulic oil leaks.
•
Relieve pressure before disconnecting air, coolant, and
hydraulic lines and fittings.
•
Use extreme care when handling coiled pendants.
Stored energy can cause coiled pendants to uncoil
quickly with considerable force.
•
When inflating tires, use a tire cage, a clip-on inflator,
and an extension hose that permits standing well away
from tire.
•
Do not remove the radiator cap while the coolant is hot
or under pressure. Stop the engine, wait until the
pressure drops and coolant cools, then slowly remove
the cap.
•
Avoid a battery explosion—do not smoke while
performing battery maintenance and do not short across
the battery terminals to check its charge.
•
Read the safety information in the battery
manufacturer’s instructions before attempting to charge
a battery.
Chemical Handling Precautions
•
Avoid battery acid contact with skin and eyes. If contact
occurs, flush the area with water and immediately
consult a doctor.
Fire Hazard Precautions
•
Stop the engine before refueling the crane.
•
Do not smoke or allow open flames in the refueling area.
•
When using a fuel can, use a safety-type can with an
automatic closing cap and flame arrestor.
•
Hydraulic oil can also be flammable. Do not smoke or
allow open flames in the area when filling hydraulic
tanks.
•
Only use cleaning solvents which are nonvolatile and
nonflammable.
•
Do not store flammable materials on the crane.
•
Use care while welding or burning on the crane. Cover
all hoses and components with nonflammable shields or
blankets to prevent a fire or other damage.
•
Keep the crane clean. Accumulations of dirt, grease, oil,
rags, paper, and other waste will not only interfere with
safe operation and maintenance, but also create a fire
hazard.
Welding Hazard Avoidance
•
Welding—To prevent damage to the crane parts
(bearings, cylinders, swivels, slewing ring, computers,
etc.), perform the following steps before welding on the
crane.
a.
Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF
position.
b.
Disconnect all the cables from the batteries. Make
sure to disconnect the negative cable first.
c.
Disconnect the output cables at the engine junction
box.
d.
Disconnect all cable connectors from nearby control
modules.
e.
Attach a ground cable from the welder directly to the
part being welded and as close to the weld as
possible.
Do not weld on the engine or the engine-mounted parts
(per engine manufacturer).
•
Disconnect and lock out the power supply switch before
attempting to service high-voltage electrical components
and before entering tight areas (such as carbody
openings) containing high voltage components.
Maintain Structural Integrity of the Crane
•
When assembling and disassembling booms, jibs, or
masts on the ground (with or without the support of
boom rigging pendants or straps), securely block each
section to provide adequate support and alignment.
Do not go under the boom, jib, or mast sections while
connecting bolts or pins are being removed.
•
Unless authorized in writing by Manitowoc, do not alter
t h e c r a n e i n a n y w a y t h a t a f f e c t s t h e c r a n e ’ s
performance (to include welding, cutting, or burning of
structural members or changing pressures and flows of
air/hydraulic components). Doing so will invalidate all
warranties and capacity charts and make the crane
owner/user liable for any resultant accidents.
