2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This chapter
F

gives information about the machine application possibilities and warns against incorrect or improper use,

gives important technical data,

describes assembly and the main components.

2.1. INTENDED USE

The crane is mounted on a installation and serves to load and unload vessel and platform work using the lifting
equipment supplied and approved by the manufacturer (hooks etc.).
The crane is to be operated only by appropriately trained personnel, in a competent physical and psychological
condition!
In principal the machine may only be used for applications as stipulated in the operating manual.
The machine is used as intended when
F

national safety regulations are adhered to,

all safety instructions in this operating manual are kept,

when all required safety devices are in place and operational,

when the operating conditions described in chapter "Technical data" are adhered to and all the
recommended oils and lubricants are used.

Included in use as intended is also timely and complete service and maintenance works by qualified and autho
rized personnel.
Special application not listed here
F

are to be cleared with the manufacturer,

may only be carried out with the written consent of the manufacturer.

The machine is used for every kind of crane application and is designed for optimal economic operations.
2.1.1.

OPERATIONAL MODES

The following operational modes of the machine are possible:

F

Main hook operation

Auxiliary hook operation

Personnel rescue

Every other application or applications beyond the described ones are not intended uses of the machine and
without an explicit agreement in writing by the manufacturer, the crane operator is responsible for any damage
incurred.

2.1.2.

LIMITS OF THE OPERATIONAL AREA

The limits of the operational area, is the maximum working area of the crane, plus the distance covered by
a swinging load. This area is also to be known as the area of danger. The hazardous zone is also known
as Ex protected area.

NOT INTENDED USE

Bringing the machine into service after:
Mechanical modifications which influence the operational safety.
Changes or mechanical modifications (rope pulleys, main drive or drive gear, winches or winch drums,
slewing bearing, boom length configuration) which alter the standard as supplied originally to the
customer without presence of Liebherrservice personnel.
Installation and use of spare parts, equipment and fluids that are not approved by the original equipment
manufacturer.

Using the machine to tear/rip away loads that are fixed to the ground, by using the hook or the slewing
gear.

Lifting a load that is laying on the ground by only using the luffing winch/gear.

Lifting loads or persons by use of the tugger winch (unless the tugger winch is specified for this function).

Lifting loads when operating in personnel lift mode (persons with working cage only is permitted).

Lifting loads with emergency power pack (unless malfunction of the electric power supply).

Dragging a load across the ground.

Operation with fire extinguishing system deactivated (if installed).

Lifting loads when the lifting ropes are not perpendicular

Using the machine without complying with the relevant load chart (in regards to load, outreach, significant
wave height and operational limitations)

Cooperative operation with other cranes for lifting loads without permitted operating mode.

Duty cycle operation without reducing safe working load.

Noncompliance by the owner in regards to positioning of the crane in respect to the EXprotection zones
as according to the relevant rules and regulations.

OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS

If existing, operational limitations are mentioned on the load chart table and indicated on the litronic screen
(yellow text OPL ).
Oper
Operational limitations indication on the litronic screen.

The possible operational limitations are:

1. Operational Limitations due to low hoisting velocity:
Operational limitation where the hoisting velocity of the crane is lower than the required value according to
rules and regulations (e.g. EN 138521 Annex B.4.1, DNV No. 2.22 Ch. 2 Sec. 3 305, API 2C Ch. 4.3.1.a,
Lloyds Register of Shipping "Code for Lifting Appliances in a Marine Environment" Ch. 3 Sec. 3.3.5.)
Potential hazards :
l
l
l

recontact of load with load supporting deck after the load is lifted (impact !)
uncontroled pick up of load from load supporting deck
uncontroled load movement due to partial contact with load supporting deck

2. Operational Limitations due to exceeding of recommended hoistropereeving:

Operational limitation due to exceeding of recommended hoist rope reeving
(e.g. acc. to EN 138521 Annex C).
Potential hazards :
When Automatic Overload Protection System (AOPS) or Manual Overload Protection System (MOPS) is
activated, structural damage of the crane may occur in this case, the crane is to be inspected according to
user manual chapter "Automatic Overload Protection System AOPS".
3. Operational limitation for personnel lift:
Except for rescue operation
Mean wind velocity:

10 m/s

Significant wave height:

SWH 2.0 m

Visibility:

Daylight only

If personnel lift charts are available for SWH > 2.0 m (see load chart table):
Installation specific risk assessments to be considered by the operator under consideration of hazards which
my occur during lifting of personnel, MOB or FRC.( MOB: Man Over Board Boat, FRC: Fast Rescue Boat)
