LHV Load holding valves

All cylinders are equipped with load-holding


valves as a safety device. After a crane movement they hold the crane in position, also in the
unlikely event of a burst hose.
If there is a leak or a component fractures, such
as a pipe, hose or a coupling, the load-holding
valves will stop the booms from collapsing down,
even when the hydraulic system is switched off,
and you operate a particular crane function.
To operate a hydraulic cylinder equiped with a
load holding valve, an opening pressure is required.

Safety precautions and warnings


3.1

Operating conditions

You may only use the crane under the following


conditions:
In the open air, or in spaces with sufficient
ventilation.
With a mean wind velocity less than 13.3
m/sec (approx. 29.7 mph). See the wind
speed table.
DANGER
If you use the crane in a confined space
you could suffocate from the exhaust gases
from the vehicle.
Never use the crane in a high wind or
storm. When the mean wind velocity exceeds 13.3 m/sec (approx. 29.7 mph) the
crane will behave unpredictably. Never use
the crane during a thunderstorm.
Never use the crane at temperatures below
-40 C (-40 F), as the steel's properties
deteriorate below this temperature.
WARNING
At temperatures below 0 C (32 F):
Do not touch the operating levers during
the first few minutes.
When starting in cold weather, the wear on
the hydraulic system is greater than at
normal working temperatures.
To minimise wear, the crane should be started as
follows:
Engage the power take-off at low rpm.
Allow the system to idle for a few minutes.
Fixed pump:
Operate the stabiliser leg up for one minute in
order to warm up the oil.
Variable pump:

Definition of a HIAB loader


crane

Usage of the crane


The HIAB loader crane is used to lift and move
loads in the working area permitted by the load
plate and the load diagram. The cranes are
normally mounted on a vehicle but they can also
be mounted on a fixed base plate. The crane can
be equipped with a number of accessories.
Loader cranes are designed for loading and
unloading the vehicle, as well as for other duties
as specified:
Permitted duties:
Loading and unloading cargo from/to a vehicle
Lifting of loads from the ground/vehicle to a
higher place
Installation work (beams, concrete plates,
windows...) in building constructions
Lifting construction material (wall boards,
bricks, blocks) on a pallet fork to a building, taking the material from the vehicle on
which the crane is mounted, from another
vehicle or from the ground
Hoisting, e.g. beams, concrete plates and any
other material and equipment used in building
construction
With a bucket, moving filling material at a
construction site
Handling large loads (containers, boats, machinery, vehicles)
Collection of waste and recycling material
(glass, paper, cardboard, plastic)
Installation of informative posts, road signs,
notice boards, traffic lights, street lights

16

Operator's Manual GB

Safety precautions and warnings

3.2.1

Forbidden duties:
Crane mounted onboard ships or floating
structures, only permitted in cases authorized
by HIAB
Continuous use as a production crane in
assembly lines, foundries, except for cranes
prepared for that purpose
Handle loads, work with submerge boom
system or accessories, in strong currents such
as rivers
Loading cargo that is partially loaded or
fastened by other means, without making sure
the capacity of the crane is enough for the
entire load
Any duty which implies:
Pressure against the ground, unless the
crane is specifically prepared for this
Push/pull with the boom system against
any type of obstacle (wall, ground)

3.2.1 Noise declaration


The following values for emitted noise may be
taken as general and conservative values for
ordinary installations of loader cranes on normal
diesel engine powered trucks. Declared dualnumber noise emission values in accordance with
ISO 4871:
Emitted A-weighted sound power level for
basic loader cranes in accordance with ISO
3744: LwA = 103 dB (Uncertainty: KwA = 2
dB)
Emitted A-weighted sound power level for
loader cranes with hoist in accordance with
ISO 3744: LwA = 107 dB (Uncertainty: KwA
= 2 dB)
A-weighted sound pressure level at loader
crane control stations in accordance with ISO
11201: LpA = 95 dB (Uncertainty: KpA = 4
dB)

Operator's Manual GB

3.2.3 Maximum load


Lifting capacity
Your crane has a certain lifting capacity, expressed in kNm or tm. This lifting capacity is
also known as the load moment. The lifting
capacity is: the payload at hook multiplied by the
outreach in metres that the crane can operate at
different positions. The lifting capacity of your
crane determines the maximum load your crane
may lift within its working zone. However take
careful note; the greater the operating radius of
the crane, the lower the lifting capacity will be
because of the weight of the boom system itself.
The load plate and the load diagram on your
crane show the maximum loads you may lift in
the operating reach of your crane.

18

Operator's Manual GB

Safety precautions and warnings

3.2.3

DANGER
Overloading could result in damage to the
crane or in the worst case, personal injury
or death.
Never increase a hanging load, since that
may cause a load holding valve to open
and/or the vehicle to turn over.
Never use the crane with the OLP system
switched off.
! NOTE
The extra weight of the lifting accessories has to
be added to the load. Thus, with lifting accessories the load you can lift is less heavy
Load plate
You will find the load plate next to the control
valve. On the plate is the maximum weight that
you may lift at a given reach, with the 1st boom
in the optimum position. In chapter Technical
Data in this manual you will find these values for
your crane.
Optimum position
The weight that your crane can lift will be
determined by:
Stabilty test of your crane on vehicle [if VSL
as option]
Stabiliser extensions positioned and legs
pressed to ground.
The reach at which you are working and the
optimum position of the boom.
The optimal position for your crane is on the
load plate.
DANGER
Never exceed the maximum weight on the
load plate.

Operator's Manual GB

19

3.2.3

Safety precautions and warnings

Load diagram
The load diagrams are placed on the column and
show the maximum loads your crane may lift in
the entire working zone. The load diagram drawing will also be found in the enclosed Technical
Data.
The white area is the working zone of the
crane.
The load curves show the maximum load that
may be lifted at a given reach and height. For a
given maximum load, the possible working zone
is to the left of the load curve. The lifting
capacity for some cranes is limited in the high
lifting area.
WARNING
Care must be taken when handling loads in the
high lifting area, so the load/tool does not
come into contact with the boom system.

WARNING
Never operate the hydraulic extensions against
a solid objet when the first boom is completely
lifted. Do not try to push or compress loads
when the first boom is fully lifted, as this
could cause damage to the first boom cylinder.

20

Operator's Manual GB

Safety precautions and warnings

3.2.4

3.2.4 Maximum load moment


If your crane has reached the maximum load
moment (lifting capacity), the OLP gives a
warning and locks any crane movement that will
increase the load moment. This is known as an
OLP situation.
If the second boom is raised, then the following
movements are locked:
first boom down/up
second boom down
extension boom out
If the second boom is down, then the following
movements are locked:

first boom up
second boom up
extension boom out
first boom down (certain crane types and
cases)
Lifting the load
You obtain the best from your crane in this way:
Ensure that you always have the work in clear
view. If you cannot see the load properly, you
could cause a fatal accident or serious damage.

Operator's Manual GB

21

Safety precautions and warnings

3.2.4

Sling length
Always attach the load using the shortest possible
sling. The angle between the legs of the sling
must not exceed 120. The maximum working
load (usually known as the working load limit
(WLL) in standards) of a multilegged sling for
general purposes is calculated by multiplying the
WLL of a single leg by a mode factor, in
accordance with the table.

If the angle between the legs of the sling exceeds


90, the slings should not be hung directly on the
hook, but rather be slung from a ring that is hung
on the hook.
Working close to the load
Always try to lift the load with the extension
boom retracted, however not completely. The
crane then has the greatest lifting capacity. Place
the vehicle as close as possible to the load.

22

Operator's Manual GB

Safety precautions and warnings

3.2.4

Working below ground level


If you have to load or unload below the level of
the ground: keep the first boom angle to about 10
to 30 above the horizontal plane.

Heavy loads
Lift heavy loads with the second boom in the
optimum position in relation to the first boom.
For this, see the load plate on your crane.
DANGER
Never exceed the maximum permissible loading of the hook.
Heavy loads cannot be handled with the boom
straight.
Set the second boom, so there is an angle in
relation to the first boom.
Loads at the extreme limit of the working zone
Also in this case, angle down the second boom
somewhat. Only use the first boom .
TIP
Make smooth crane movements: operate the
crane with various functions simultaneously. In
this way you will also prevent the hydraulic
system heating up quickly.

DANGER
Wear a safety helmet (compulsory in some
countries!).
Check that the ground is sufficiently flat.
Use chocks under the wheels on a gentle
slope.
Check that the ground is sufficiently firm.
Also, check that the ground is not undermined. Look out for sewers, cellars, excavations etc. The stabiliser legs must not be
able to sink in!
On a slippery surface, for example because
of frost: Place chocks under the wheels.
Activate the vehicle parking brake! Otherwise, the vehicle can start to move during
lifting.
Never use the stabiliser legs as a parking
brake, since the vehicle could start to slide.
Check that the add-on lifting accessories
and separate lifting accessories are in good
order!
Add-on lifting accessories are sometimes
fitted on the crane (hoist, JIB) or placed
between the boom tip and the load (grapple, rotator).
Separate lifting accessories are connected
to the standard load hook (slings, chains,
chackles etc).
Crane operation
DANGER
Your crane has a safety system.
The safety system will help you to work
safely. Nevertheless, you remain responsible
for safe use of the crane!
Therefore, always work according to the operating instructions!

Operator's Manual GB

Safety precautions and warnings

3.5

WARNING
Never push a load along the ground, or the
vehicle's load space, with the extension
boom. This can cause damage to the boom
system. This will lead to expensive repairs.
Never use the extension boom as a jack.
This could damage the slewing bearings
and the connection between the crane
column and the crane base.
Always lift the load from the ground
before you start to slew. Do not tow the
load over the ground. This can damage the
boom system.
If you are working with loads in restricted
spaces (for example, windows):
Check that the boom system can move up
and down freely.
The boom system will bend somewhat,
when loading and unloading the crane.
If the boom system is in a high position
(first boom above 70), do not allow the
boom to lower at full speed. The crane
could go into an uncontrolled movement.
Be careful if, in particular, the OLP gives
an early warning!
When loading the vehicle:
Take the load off the stabiliser legs by
withdrawing them slightly. The stabiliser
legs must remain in light contact with the
ground.

CAUTION
Operate the crane using smooth and gentle
lever movements.
If a cylinder is at its end position, free the
operating lever. Otherwise overheating can
occur.

suspended from the crane.
Before you move the vehicle:
Check that there is no pump flow to the
main control valve. The PTO or power
supply must be disengaged. The operating
system must be switched off!
Pay attention to the width and height of the
crane in the transport position. The crane
has to stay within the width of the truck.
Make sure the stowed crane can not hit
bridges, tunnels etc.
Pay attention to overhead power lines!
Make sure that no part of the crane ever
comes in contact with overhead power
lines.
For further instructions see vehicle's manual(s).

Ending crane operation


DANGER
Always end crane operation as follows:
After use, always place the crane in the
transport position!
When you have to park the boom on the
load space, or over the load; secure the
boom and the lifting accessories to prevent
any movement of the crane and the lifting
accessories.
Withdraw the stabiliser legs and stabiliser
extensions.
Lock tiltable stabiliser legs and manual
operated stabiliser extensions in transport
position.
Check that the locking mechanisms are
properly locked.
Switch off the operating system.
Disengage the PTO or power supply after
work.

4.2

How the safety system works

The safety system works as follows:

38

Operator's Manual GB

The Safety system

4.2

On the crane there are various sensors and


indicators which send signals about the cranes
load, position and movements to a central microprocessor. The microprocessor then decides how
the crane can be operated and stops/reduces
prohibited movements/speeds according to the
following:
When prohibited movements/speeds are approached, a warning is given.
When prohibited movements/speeds are
reached:
On remote controlled cranes prohibited movements are stopped.
On manually operated cranes, all movements
are stopped, because when a spool is moved
too much, power to the dump valve is cut, all
movements are stopped.
Fault monitoring
When there is a fault in the safety system it will
give an immediate warning.
Depending upon the fault the crane speed and/or
the load capacity will be reduced. When the fault
is serious, use of the crane is blocked completely.
DANGER
Never try to repair the safety system yourself.
Repairs may only be made by a HIAB service
workshop!

OLP release. Activating the remote control
and the signal horn. There is also an emergency stop button on the user interface.
Filter
Pressure reduction filter. The filter feeds the
positioners with filtered oil.
Dump valve 1
To prevent high pressure and thereby unnecessary heating of the oil there is an automatic
dumping function. When no lever movement
has been made for 3 seconds SPACE system
opens the dump valve and the oil is returned
directly to the hydraulic tank. As soon as the
operator moves a lever the valve closes.
Dump valve 2
Allows operation of the stabiliser extensions
and legs only when this valve is activated.
The dump valve 2 will be placed between the
main control valve and the stabiliser control
valve. The dump valve 2 must be activated
from the SPACE interface before the stabiliser system can be controlled.

4.13

The Safety system

4.13 CombiDrive2
Normally the controller operates wirelessly via
radio but it can also be operated via cable
Via radio:
The controller contains a radio for two-way
communication. This means that information can
be sent both from and to the controller. In the
decoder/radio there is a corresponding unit which
handles the traffic at the other end. The radio is
of the Bluetooth type and therefore operates in
the 2.4 GHz band. This is a free band which has
been approved practically world wide. No licence
is needed and the radio can in principle be used
everywhere, including across national boundaries.
The controller is equipped with a menu selection system as standard. The display continuously provides the operator with information.
The centre display provides information about
which menu has been chosen, as well as indicating the radio reception conditions, battery
status, fault information, micro, ADC, manual
extension, and so on.
The side displays show the symbol for the
function which each lever activates in the chosen
menu. When the operator changes menu, the
symbols change to the functions that become
active.
Via cable:
A four-metre cable is supplied as standard with
the radio kit of the controller. The cable is
intended to be used for short-term operation and
when pairing in conjunction with the replacement
of controllers or decoders. The cable connects to
the vehicle at the left-hand CAN bus connector
on the decoder.
If the controller is to be wired permanently or for
a long period, an adapter cable is connected from
the user panel and installed at a suitable location
on the vehicle. To give the operator greater
freedom of movement, a 15-metre cable is used
between the adapter and the controller.
52

Operator's Manual GB

When the cable is connected to the controller, the
centre display indicates that the controller is in
cable operation mode. The symbols for signal
strength (radio) and battery capacity are replaced

approximately 1 s, and at -20C it can take up to
8 s before the symbols are completely changed.
Alternating symbols will not be updated at temperatures below freezing.
In order to prevent accidental menu shifts in cold
weather, below -10C, there will be a time delay
before any menu button will react to a second
depression. In order to avoid this inconvenience,
HIAB recommends that whenever the controller
is not in use, it should be stored in a compartment where the temperature exceeds +10C.

The battery symbol shows remaining energy in the battery.
When the symbol begins to flash there is capacity for just a
few more minutes. When this happens the horn on the crane
will beep twice as an indication of low battery. This

and lights during charging.
and lights when the battery is fully
charged.
Display B
Shows the battery voltage (8.4).
When the display blinks 0.0 there is error in the
battery: Change battery.
Charging time
The normal charging time for an flat battery, is
approximately 3 hours. The battery charger is
designed not to damage the battery, even during
long continuous charging.
Operating ambient temp:
Battery = 0 to + 45C.
A charged battery
The voltage level of a fully charged battery is
approximately 8,4V and it provides about 5-8
hours working time. Note that the battery voltage
remains between 7,6V and 7,5V for a long time.
Therefore, the battery voltage cannot be used to
estimate the working time.
NOTE
A charged battery is a concentrated energy
source. Never store a charged battery in a toolbox
or similar, where there is a risk of a short due to
metal components.
Used batteries should be taken care of according
to the local regulations.

Installing the battery


Install a fully-charged battery in the controller as
shown on the right.
It is important to fit the battery the right way
round. If the battery is upside-down the controller
will not start.
A fully charged 1200 mAh battery will power the
controller for approximately 5 hours.

4.16 Functions
Locking / unlocking the controller
The controller can be locked to prevent unauthorised persons, such as children, from starting the
controller and operating the crane.

ADO Automatic dump function
If a lever is not moved for 3 seconds, this
function diverts the oil to the tank, thereby
preventing the oil from overheating. The next
lever movement stops the dumping and it functions as normal.
Disconnecting the automatic dump function
(ADO)
In certain cases the automatic dump function
must be disconnected. The most common case is
before operating a separate stabiliser control
valve (which is not equipped with spool sensors)

The Safety system

To disconnect the automatic dump function:


1. Press the Button .
The LED is lit constantly when automatic dump function is disconnected.
2. Press the Button again.
The automatic dump function is now connected again.
When the power is switched on, the automatic
dump function is always connected.
ASC Automatic Speed Control

The ASC function automatically provides the


extra power by reducing the speed smoothly,
when working close to the rated capacity. When
the load decreases, normal speed is restored.
ADC Automatic Duty Control
The purpose of the ADC function is to increase
the lifting capacity by 10%.
The first boom pressure sensors indicate if there
is a positive or negative pressure on the first
boom.
Normal capacity
If the first boom is pressed down, the sensors
indicate a negative pressure and the lifting
capacity is normal during the complete lifting
cycle.
Increased capacity (ADC mode)
ADC lamps light up.
If the sensors indicate a positive pressure, the
lifting capacity is increased during the complete lifting cycle.
PFD Pump flow distribution
When operating several functions simultaneously
the pump flow may not be sufficient. PFD will
now take over, reducing the speed of all operated
functions. Uncontrolled movements are thus
avoided, smooth simultaneous operation is
achieved.

Slewing sector [option]


Within slewing sector, lifting capacity can be
reduced due to stability. The overload warning
will be given at a lower load in the limited sector
than outside the sector. In case of an overload
warning you may slew out of the sector but not
further into it.
VSL Variable Stability Limitation [option]
The VSL function senses the outreach and the
attachment of the stabiliser legs to the ground,
and automatically calculates the level of OLP
limit. This means that the crane always works
with the highest possible lifting capacity in
relation to the stability.

To determine the inclination of the truck, check
the spirit level on the crane. When the bubble is
in the middle of the gauge, the crane is in
horizontal position. When the bubble is between
the two circles, the crane inclination is between
0 and 5.
If the slope exceeds the permitted inclination,
unintentional crane movements can occur.

9.1

Decommissioning a crane

Cranes are designed and manufactured taking the


environment into consideration. Environmental
requirements and soundness have been considered
when selecting the raw materials. The metal parts
are designed to achieve a light and durable
construction, this includes the selection of higherquality grades of steel. When the crane is decommissioned at the end of its service life, years from
now, waste will be created, which must be
utilized and disposed of correctly. The crane must
be decommissioned properly. Most of the cranes
raw materials can be recycled.
Follow the regulations of the local authorities!
Oil and grease must not be spilled on to the
ground or released into the environment!
Drain the oil from hydraulic cylinders, valves
and hoses.

Sort the waste


Deliver the metal parts for recycling, for reuse
as raw material. These are load-bearing, structures manufactured from steel or cast iron,
hydraulic cylinders and lines drained of oil,
directional control valves, shafts, bearing
bushes, control levers, small parts.

Energy waste can be utilized by incinerating it at


a proper waste incineration plant
spiral wraps, manufactured from polyethene,
plastic, bearings (cleaned of lubricants) used
in the column, beam system etc, manufactured from polyamide plastic.

102

Operator's Manual GB

Decommissioning

9.1

Unsorted waste should be delivered to a landfill


drained hydraulic hoses, electrical wires, control cables, seat, hydraulic cylinder seals,
lights, small plastic and rubber parts.

Hazardous waste is delivered to a collection


point for hazardous waste
oils: hydraulic oil, transmission oil from the
slewing system
solid lubricants: greases from the joints and
journal bearings
other waste containing oils and greases: hydraulic oil filters.
