13.3.6 Telescoping gear
Structure of the Most procedures which you initiate for the operation of the telescoping
chapter gear are afterwards carried out by the crane control and monitored. In the
process you receive acknowledgements, you can follow the procedure
and, at the right time, initiate further procedures.
For this it is important that you are not only familiar with the operation,
display, and control instruments of the telescoping gear, but also its
functioning. Then you can comprehend the procedures which the crane
control carries out in the boom while you move the control lever; you will
become familiar with the status displays and crane control more quickly.
Therefore the chapter is organized in the following sections:
Description of functioning,
Main boom fixed lengths, intermediate lengths, telescoping lengths,
Telescope status,
Notes on telescope-sequence,
Function of the control lever,
Example of procedures when telescoping

(further sections are refered to in this section).
H The last section and the sections following it belong together and
describe the actual telescoping procedure. Before you proceed according
to this section for the first time, you must know the basic information
from the previous sections. Only in this manner is a safe operation of the
telescoping gear possible.
TRAINING INSTITUTE
Description of The main boom consists of the non-telescoping section, five telescope
functioning sections and a single-level telescoping cylinder. The following diagram
shows the main boom in section with the telescoping cylinder.
In the diagram the main boom is completely retracted and the telescoping
cylinder is located in the foot section of telescope section I.
All telescope sections (I to V) are rigged on the outside with locking pins
(1) which are pushed out of the telescope sections with springs (9). If a
bore (2) of the telescope section above it aligns with the corresponding
locking pin, the spring pushes the locking pin in at that point and the
telescope section is locked. All telescope sections can be locked at three
different points (on the fixed lengths) in the corresponding bores (2).
Levers are fixed to the locking pins of all telescope sections of which the
brackets (6) reach inward into the foot sections of the telescope section.
The brackets reach in all telescope sections the same distance into the
foot sections.
The piston rod (7) of the telescoping cylinder is fastened to the main
boom basic section. If the telescoping cylinder is telescoped, its head runs
(8) through the foot sections of telescope sections (I to V). If the head (8)
is situated at a locking point (the head is situated at the locking point of
telescope section I), the mechanism (3) on the telescope cylinder snaps
into the bracket (6).
If the telescoping cylinder is located on the locking point, the bores (4)
also align on the inner sides of the telescope sections with the locking
pins (5) of the telescoping cylinder.
TRAINING INSTITUTE
Telescoping cylinders and telescope sections can be locked and unlocked

at all locking points. In order to telescope, the telescoping cylinder must
be locked with the corresponding telescope section and the telescope
section must be unlocked.
To lock the telescoping cylinder, the locking

pins are (5) pushed into the bores (4) of the
telescope section by spring force.
In order to unlock the telescope section, a

hydraulic cylinder (2) is extended. The me-
chanism (3) transfers this movement to the
brackets (6) and retracts the locking pins (1)
against the spring force.
The telescope section is locked again after

telescoping, the procedure takes place in the
reversed sequence (as with unlocking).
When the telescoping cylinder is unlocked,
the locking pins are hydraulically retracted
against the spring force.
H The locking pin of the telescoping cylinder and the mechanism are moved
hydraulically. The necessary pressure for this is comes from a reservoir
which must be first be filled. Because of this, retardations of 2 to
H
3 seconds may occur.
A hydraulic/mechanical switch and the crane control prevent a telescope

section and the telescoping cylinder from being unlocked simultaneously.
A telescope section can be unlocked only when the telescoping cylinder is
locked and vice versa.
Main boom Main boom fixed length

fixed length,
All telescoping statuses where all telescope sections are locked are usual-
intermediate
ly called main boom fixed lengths. Higher load bearing capacities are per-
length,
mitted only when all telescope sections are locked.
telescoping
In the case of the GMK 5180, only those telescoping status with the
length
highest lifting capacities are permitted as main boom fixed lengths
because of the large number of possible locked telescoping statuses for
the same boom length.
There are thus a total of 32 main boom fixed lengths ( Lifting capacity
table). The lifting capacity values for the fixed lengths of the main boom
are automatically monitored by the SLI.
TRAINING INSTITUTE
Main boom intermediate length

All telescoping statuses where all telescope sections are unlocked are
usually called main boom intermediate lengths.
In an unlocked telescoping status the whole load affects the telescoping
cylinder. This means that the permitted lifting capacitues are sometimes
considerably less than with main boom fixed lengths.
In the case of the GMK 5180, all locked telescoping statuses which do not
have the highest load bearing capacity with their main boom length are
also treated as main boom intermediate lengths. No higher loads are
therefore permitted for these locked telescoping statuses.
The lifting capacity values for the intermediate lengths of the main boom
are automatically monitored by the SLI.
Telescope the main boom to the required length before lifting the load!
With the lifting capacities which are given in the lifting capacity table for
main boom intermediate lengths, telescoping with a load is not possible!
Main boom telescoping length

There is a main boom telescoping length when the main boom is at a
main boom intermediate length and is also telescoped with a load.
The lifting capacity values for the telescoping length of the main boom
are in the same range as the lifting capacity values for the main boom in-
termediate lengths which are monitored by the SLI.
The SLI does not, however, monitor the capability of a load to be
telescoped.
The telescopic load is restricted by:
the angle of the boom and
the lubrication of the sliding wear pad between the telescope sections.
S
The main boom should only be telescoped with a load if the job cannot
be done otherwise.
Telescope status The position of the telescope sections, i.e. which telescope section has
been telescoped how far, is called the telescope status.
The current telescope status is displayed:

on the SLI and
on the Crane control display.
TRAINING INSTITUTE
This section deals with the status display of the telescope status on the
SLI, the status display of the telescope status on the Crane control display is
described starting at the section Example of procedures when telescoping.
If a telescope section is retracted or extended, both the length of the main

boom and the length of the respective telescope section change on the
display.
The main boom fixed length is displayed in decimals (e. g. 0.5) and the
main boom intermediate length and main boom telescoping length are
H
displayed as two-digit percent values (e. g. 47).
Intermediate lengths and telescoping lengths at 100% are indicated by the

flashing display 1.0.
Example: Telescope status display for main boom fixed lengths
!0 =5 =5 =5 =5
Telescope section I 100 % extended (fixed length)
Telescope section II 50 % extended (fixed length)
Telescope section III 50 % extended (fixed length)
Telescope section IV 50 % extended (fixed length)
Telescope section V 50 % extended (fixed length)
The following percent values represent main boom fixed lengths:
Telescope section I 0 / 50 / 100 [%]
Telescope section II 0 / 50 / 100 [%]
Telescope section III 0 / 50 / 100 [%]
Telescope section IV 0 / 50 / 100 [%]
H
Telescope section V 0 / 50 / 100 [%]
Not all locked telescope statuses are permitted as main boom fixed
lengths;
The fixed lengths can be found in the Lifting capacity table.
TRAINING INSTITUTE
The decimal display (e.g. 1.00) follows only if all telescope sections are
telescoped to a fixed length. As soon as one or more telescope sections
are telescoped to a different length, all lengths count as main boom inter-
mediate lengths or main boom telescoping lengths.
The status display changes accordingly, as the following example demon-

strates.
Example: Telescope status display for main boom intermediate lengths

and main boom telescoping lengths.
67 50 50 50 50
Telescope section I 100 % extended (intermediate length)
Telescope section II 50 % extended (fixed length)
Telescope section III 50 % extended (fixed length)
Telescope section IV 50 % extended (fixed length)
Telescope section V 50 % extended (fixed length)
The following percentage values represent main boom intermediate

lengths and main boom telescoping lengths:
Telescope section I 0 - 100
Telescope section II 0 - 100
Telescope section III 0 - 100
Telescope section IV 0 - 100
H
Telescope section V 0 - 100
There can only ever be one telescope section at an intermediate length

(because only one telescope section can be unlocked).
H
The useful intermediate lengths can be found in the Lifting capacity table.
The maximum permissible lifting capacity also changes constantly in the

Maximum load status display.
Whenever the extending of a telescope section would lead to a telescope
status which is not permissible according to the Lifting capacity table, the
SLI switches this extending off as soon as the telescope section moves.
TRAINING INSTITUTE
Notes on The telescope sections can only be telescoped individually one after the
telescope- other.
sequence
When extending you must always extend the telescope section with the
highest numbering first, then the telescope section with the second
highest numbering, etc. (e. g. V, IV, III, II, I).
Retracting always takes place in the reversed sequence as extending.
Check before tele- The crane control calculates the displayed telescope status from the cur-
scoping for the rent status of the telescoping gear and the locking and unlocking
first time processes which have occurred and been saved.
Normally, the crane control recognises differences between current and

displayed telescope statuses and displays a corresponding error messa-
ge;
If the values are deleted because of an accident (e.g. lightning strike), the
crane control can no longer calculate the current telescoping status and
an error message occurs.
S
Risk of damaging the telescoping gear!
After switching on the ignition before the first telescoping, always check
that the current telescope status is displayed in the crane control display.
After an accident, if the crane control is unable to correctly calculate the
current telescope status and no error message occurs, telescoping can
cause damage to the telescoping gear.
After switching on the ignition, always check before the first telescoping
that the telescope status displayed in the crane control display matches
the current telecope status.
If the current telescope status is not correctly displayed, enter the current
telescope status;
TRAINING INSTITUTE
Function of the This section only describes the functioning of the control lever and has
control lever general notes for telescoping. Before you telescope, you must fulfill cer-
tain requirements. Read the section Example of procedures when telescoping
for this;
The SLI deactivates telescoping extension depending on the size of the

load and length of the main boom (angle between the main boom and the
horizontal position). Ensure that the boom has been sufficiently raised
before the main boom telescoping is extended.
Switch on the telescoping gear.

Push the Auxiliary hoist shutdown rocker switch upward.
Switch the right hand control lever to the telescopic function.

_ To do this press the Preselection of derricking control lever function /
telescoping/derrick lattice extension rocker switch up.
The indicator lamp Telescoping gear switched on illuminates.
T
G
Risk of accidents from unexpected crane movement!
Make sure that the indicator lamp Telescoping gear switched on illuminates
before you move the control lever for telescoping.
This prevents accidents from the unexpected derricking of the main
boom and lattice extension.
Extend: Push the right-hand control lever to the right.
Retract: Push the right-hand control lever to the left.
H With certain telescoping states the SLI also shuts down the retraction of
the telescoping for safety reasons. In this case leave the shutdown area
by raising the boom or, if this is not possible, set the load down, tele-
scope to the next fixed length and lift the load again.
You may regulate the telescoping speed by moving the control lever and
changing the engine speed using the accelerator.
You can set the maximum speed of the telescoping gear for working with
@ the main boom and lattice extension on the Crane control display;
TRAINING INSTITUTE
In addition you can set a higher speed when extending by using the foot-
operated switch Fast speed derricking gear/telescoping gear (arrow).
You may set a constant engine speed using the rocker switch Constant
engine speed.
The telescoping gear can be switched off by rocker switch (Telescoping gear
shutdown) to prevent it from being operated accidentally.
H
To do this, press the rocker switch downward.
The distance between the hook block and the boom head also changes
during telescoping. Reel off the hoist rope when retracting and reel it on
when extending the telescoping.
S
Be careful not to damage the hoist rope!
Slack rope will occur if the hook block is allowed to touch the ground
while the boom is being retracted. This causes rope loops to form on the
hoist drum which can lead to load slipping and damage to the hoist rope.
H The telescoping movement is shut off if the hook block reaches the lifting
limit switch during extension of the main boom telescoping.
You can display the operating hours and possibly the blocked functions of
> the telescoping gear on the crane control display with the membrane
switch Display status;
TRAINING INSTITUTE
Example of The procedures for telescoping with semi-automatic control are described
procedures when in the following sections.
telescoping You can also telescope to fixed lengths with the fully automatic control;
in the course of this the crane control regulates the procedures described
here automatically;
This section shows you the sequence of an entire telescoping procedure
H
for a better overview at the outset.
This section and the sections refered to here presuppose that you are
familiar with the functioning of the telescope system;
The entire example cannot apply to all telescoping procedures, since the
start and end position of the telescoping gear is different for every proce-
dure. Nevertheless a part of the sequence of the telescoping procedure
described here applies to all telescoping procedures.
Read the sequence for this example and follow the cross-references in the
sections with the descriptions of what to do. These sections always take
up the following example at the end. You thus get an overview of all
necessary steps and can implement these for your special telescoping
procedure.
The following start and end states apply to this example:

All telescopic sections are retracted and locked.
The telescoping cylinder is locked to telescope section IV.
The telescope sections II and III should be extended to 50 %.
Telescope section I should be extended to an intermediate length
of 37 %.
Sequence of the exemplary telescoping procedure

1. Check the telescope status, the position of the telescoping cylinder
and the locking pin;
2. Unlock telescoping cylinder;

TRAINING INSTITUTE
3. Move telescoping cylinder into the telescope section, the telescope

section which needs to be telescoped and lock it there (in our example
telescope section III);
4. Unlock telescope section for telescoping;
5. Telescope telescope section to fixed length and lock;
6. To telescope other telescope sections (in our example telescope sec-

tion II would be the next one) repeat Points 2 to 5 until all required
telescope sections have been telescoped to the required length.
7. If necessary, extend the last telescope section (in our example tele-
scope section I) to the necessary intermediate length;
Check initial Before you telescope the main boom, you must check the following states:
position
the current telescope status
(how far the telescope sections are telescoped),
the position of the telescoping cylinder
(in which foot section the telescoping cylinder is located),
the position of the locking pins
(whether telescope sections and cylinders are locked or unlocked).

Checking the position of the telescoping cylinder

The current telescope status is now known; the next thing you should do
is check in which telescope section the head of the telescoping cylinder is
located.
One of the display lamps Telescoping cylinder in foot section I, II, III, IV or V
Vefg displays the position of the telescoping cylinder.

Definition: When the statement The telescoping cylinder is in foot

section II appears in the following chapters, this means that the head
of the telescoping cylinder is in the foot section.
In our example Initial position is defined as the following: The telescoping

g cylinder in telescope section IV is locked, thus the head of the telescoping
cylinder is there. The display lamp Telescoping cylinder in foot section IV would
illuminate accordingly.
Checking the position of the locking pins

If you know in which telescope section the telescoping cylinder is located,
check the positions of the locking pins as the last initial position.
Both indicator lamps Telescope section unlocked and Telescope section locked
jj display the position of the locking pins in the telescope section in which
the telescoping cylinder is located.
The red indicator lamp Telescope section unlocked illuminates when the tele-
j scope section is not locked to the telescope section above it.
The green indicator lamp Telescope section unlocked illuminates when the
j telescope section is locked to the telescope section above it.
Both indicator lamps Telescoping cylinder unlocked and Telescoping cylinder

ih locked display the position of the locking pins on the telescoping cylinder.
The red indicator lamp lights up when the telescoping cylinder is not

If the locking process is not finished after about 10 seconds (warning

lamp Telescoping cylinder unlocked is not on), you can not retract the locking
pins because they are under load.
With the Telescoping cylinder at locking point indicator lamps you can see if
you need to retract or extend the telescoping cylinder to relieve the load.
If only the bottom indicator lamp lights up, you must extend the telesco-

That is why the exact time of the selection depends on whether the tele-
scoping cylinder:
is to be moved and locked with an extended main boom
or is to be moved and locked with a fully retracted main boom.
Before you telescope the telescoping cylinder with the selection, the
following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

lengths, the telescoping sequence and the functioning of the control lever
at the beginning of this chapter and observe the notes for telescoping;
If you extend several telescope sections or want to work on a fixed length,

you must extend the telescope section to a fixed length and lock it there.
You can select the locking before the telescope section has reached the
fixed length. The crane control then locks the telescope section at the first
fixed length which is reached. Since every telescope section has three
fixed lengths, the point in time of the selection depends on whether the
telescope section:
is to be locked at the fixed length reached first

or is to be locked at the fixed length after the next.
Before you telescope the telescope section with the selection, the fol-
lowing prerequisites must be fulfilled:

move the control lever in a different direction.
The other extension of the control lever for changing the direction is only
necessary for extending a telescopic part. The telescoping cylinder moves
automatically in both directions between the telescopic parts when chang-

Acknowledging error messages

You can acknowledge an error message and thus return to the menu
which was selected before the error message occurred.
Press the membrane switch Enter once to acknowledge; there are three
possible reactions:
If no further error message is in the queue, the display switches to the
menu which was selected before the error message occurred.
If further error messages are in queue, the next error message appears
on the display. You can acknowledge all error messages one after the
other.
If the error message was displayed because the crane control cannot
detect any lengths and positions (proximity switch or length indicator is
faulty or the line has been cut), the crane control switches to the sub-
menu Emergency operation after the acknowledgement;
Calling up error messages again after acknowledging

All acknowledged error messages are saved in the sub-menu Error
memory. As long as the ignition remains switched on, you can call up the
acknowledged error messages again:
To do this, switch to the menu Display states.

The error memory is deleted each time the ignition is switch off. As long
as the cause of error is not eliminated, the error message appears after
switching on the ignition and is again stored in the error memory after
acknowledging. In this way you can also note the error messages later if
you have switched off the ignition, e.g. to contact GROVE Product
Support.
