SPECIFICATIONS & OPERATING FEATURES
ET16/18KX
OVERLOAD SENSING SYSTEM
This crane is equipped with an overload sensing system. If the capacity of the crane is exceeded, the "Winch Up",
Boom Out", and "Boom Out" functions will shut down. The "Winch Down", "Boom Up", and "Boom In" functions will
continue to operate and can be used to relieve the overload condition. The "Rotation" function also will continue to operate.
CONTROL PRIORITY SYSTEM
The design intent of the electrical and hydraulic systems are such that some functions can be operated
simultaneously, while others are meant to be operated individually. To summarize the control system, see the explanations
below:
·
Winch Up takes priority over all functions
·
Winch Down can be operated with any other single function
·
Hydraulic functions (Rotate Right, Rotate Left, Boom Up, Boom Down, Boom Out, and Boom In) are designed to
function one at a time
CABLE DRUM AND SHEAVE DIAMETERS
The drums on the ET16/18KX cranes are 5 1/4" in diameter, which is 18 times the 5/16" wire rope diameter as
required by ANSI B30.15 Hydraulic Crane standards. The cable sheaves are either 16 or 18 times the cable diameter,
which likewise conforms.
MISCELLANEOUS
CAPACITY INDICATOR
Select boom reach and angle allowable for load by using capacity indicator arrow and chart on either side of boom.
BATTERY HOOKUP
A parallel auxiliary battery should be installed near the crane as shown on DWG 19947 under "RECOMMENDED
INSTALLATION." The parallel auxiliary battery minimum rating should be 450 Cold Cranking Amps (at 0° F) and 100
reserve capacity, or 78 plates and 70 amp hours.
