SAFE LOAD INDICATOR (SLI)
WARNING
The SLI System is designed as an aid to safe crane operation. DO NOT use system as a substitute for an
experienced operator, trained in crane operation and related safety guidelines, or for crane capacity infor-
mation and guidelines supplied by crane manufacturer.
1. System Components.
a. Computer. Provides all functions necessary to read system sensors, make computations, and control disconnect func-
tions. Compares actual operational information (load, angle, etc.) to crane capacity information, as defined in physical
characteristics that were loaded during factory setup (load chart information). Two hydraulic pressure sensors in computer
measure pressure fluctuations on both sides of luffing cylinder to determine load.
b. Extension Reel. Measures extended length of boom and enables calculation of crane radius, load weight, and percent
rated capacity. The reel-off cable provides a path from boom head to computer via the extension reel computer cable. This
path is used to signal a possible two-block condition. The boom angle sensor measures angle of boom.

a. If a fault exists, fault message will alternate with normal display until fault condition is corrected. If there are no faults, no
fault message will appear.
b. Display will show LOAD which is actual weight in pounds of everything hanging below boom, to include load, block, and
rigging.
c. RADIUS display will indicate radius of load in feet.
d. ANGLE display provides current boom angle. DISPLAY/SELECT buttons can be used to change to LENGTH display,
which provides extended boom length in feet.

TM 11262A-OR/4
5. Warning Displays and Alarms.
a. Approached Overload. System constantly moni-
tors load weight and compares this information with
rated capacity stored in computer. When rated
capacity reaches 90%, bar graph in display window
progresses from normal range (green) into caution
(yellow). A yellow light above caution zone comes
on and an audible alarm beeps continuously. A
message “!WARNING! PRE-ALARM” will flash in 439-352
display.
b. Overload. When crane rated capacity reaches

100%, bar graph will move from caution (yellow) to
warning zone (red). A red light above warning zone
comes on and an audible alarm sounds continu-
ously. A message “!WARNING! OVERLOAD” will
be displayed. Crane motions of boom extend, boom
down, and hoist up are automatically cut.
439-353

TM 11262A-OR/4
5. Warning Displays and Alarms - Continued.
c. Two-Block Warning. If a two-block condition
occurs, a message “!WARNING! TWO BLOCKING”
will be displayed and an audible alarm will sound
continuously. Crane motions of boom extend, boom
down, and hoist up are automatically cut.
439-354
WARNING
ALARM OVERRIDE button should be used with caution to prevent injury to personnel and/or damage to
equipment.
d. Alarm Override. If alarm override option is activated, automatic audible alarms against overload, two-blocking, and haz-
ardous tipping conditions are silenced. MOTION CUTOUT IS ALSO DISCONTINUED. Alarm override button may be held
down to momentarily silence alarms and disable motion cutouts, or may be held down for 5 seconds to cancel any existing
motion cuts.

TM 11262A-OR/4
6. System Fault Messages.
a. When SLI system detects a fault, a red warning lamp will illuminate and “!WARNING! SYSTEM FAULT” will flash on dis-
play. When a more serious fault is detected, “!WARNING! SYSTEM OUT OF SERVICE” may flash.
NOTE
If more than one fault is present, most serious fault will appear first and must be resolved first. When first
fault is corrected, other existing faults will be displayed and must be resolved one at a time until no further
fault codes are listed.
b. To determine problem, press DISPLAY/SELECT arrow key once or twice, which will change display mode and show
related fault message. Fault message will appear for up to 20 seconds before returning to normal mode display. If DIS-
PLAY/SELECT arrow key is pressed before 20 seconds have elapsed, display will automatically return to normal mode
display.
c. SEQUENCE ERROR indicates a fault during telescoping operation, e.g., first section is not fully telescoped before addi-
tional sections are telescoped. This can occur as a result of fluctuations in temperature or load.
d. CORRECTION: Continue to telescope boom until fault clears.

TM 11262A-OR/4
7. SLI Key Bypass.
WARNING
• SLI system is a critical component in ensuring safe crane operation. A bypassed SLI system means that all
monitoring and automatic shutdown functions are disabled. A bypassed SLI may result in injury or death
to personnel and damage to equipment.
• It is recommended that this key be used
in extreme emergency situations ONLY,
e.g., if SLI system is defective. Key can
be removed in either setting. However, it
is recommended that key remain in SLI KEY BYPASS

1. Description of Equipment - Continued.
NOTE
• Containers noted on this dwg. are typical ISO freight containers as described in ISO 668:1988(E). Designa-
tion - 1AAA, 1AA, 1A, 1AX - All “40 Ft” Containers. 1CC, 1C, 1CX - All “20 Ft” Containers (19 Ft - 10-1/2 In.).
This sling can also lift 1BB, 1B, 1BX “30 Ft” Containers (29 Ft - 11-1/4 In.) and 1D & 1DX “10 Ft” Containers
(9 Ft. - 9-3/4 In.) at their max load rating.
• Load leveling of this sling is accomplished by manually moving top shackle; i.e., by placing its bolt into
one of 13 holes provided for transverse leveling and by adjusting chain leg lengths to level longitudinally.
Keep chain lengths matched on each side. Chain is color marked at center and every 10 links, four places
on each side of center.
• Work load limit (WLL) of this sling is 67,200 lb.
• Proof tested to 125% of work load limit.
• This sling assembly conforms to ANSI B30.9-1996, ANSI B30.19-199, B30.20 & I.S.O. 3874 Fgt. Cont. Han-
dling.

TM 11262A-OR/4
2. Safety, Care, and Handling.
a. Operating personnel and ground guides must be alert at all times to dangers associated with handling freight containers.
Containers are heavy and cumbersome. Because containers are usually stacked in close proximity, there is a danger of
being crushed by a swaying container.
b. Prior to making lift, ensure all twistlocks are securely locked into container.
c. Do not operate bottom lift sling in a thunderstorm. Gusty winds, heavy precipitation, and lightening create a hazardous sit-
uation for lifting and transporting containers.
d. Load lifted should never exceed working load limit (WLL) specified on bottom lift sling and plate.
e. Personnel should never ride on or place any part of themselves under or adjacent to bottom lift sling and/or load under lift.
Personnel should position themselves well clear of bottom lift sling when in use.
f. Do not use bottom lift sling for lifting from top corners if container is 20 ft or greater in size. Use equipment for designed
use only.
g. Bottom lift sling MUST be removed from crane storage cradle whenever on-rubber lifts are made. If bottom lift sling is to
be used for on-rubber handling of containers, its weight is suspended from hook and must be considered part of load
being lifted.
h. Coupling receptacles (that accept rotating lift lugs) on freight container must be checked and any mud, dirt, snow, or ice
formation removed before attaching bottom lift sling twistlocks.
i. Prior to initial lift of a new bottom lift sling, a low-height rated load lift test should be performed. After load lift test, bottom
lift sling and container should be inspected for failures, cracks, deformation, inoperability, or other defects.
j. Bottom lift sling should be retested/recertified every 24 months or after 1,000 uses, whichever occurs first.

TM 11262A-OR/4
3. Attaching Bottom Lift Sling to Crane Hook Block.
NOTE
Perform an inspection of all components as they are assembled. Be alert for wear, stress cracks, corro-
sion, and evidence of stretching. Inspect all sling attachments for gouges, distortion, elongated throat
openings, or stress cracks at attachment points.
a. If not installed, install lift shackle and lift ring on strongback assembly of bottom lift sling.
b. With hook block installed on boom, operate crane to lower hook block over bottom lift sling.
c. Attach hook block to lift ring and close safety latch on hook block.
d. If bottom lift sling is stowed in crane storage cradle, loosen two hold downs and release sling from cradle.
e. If container lift chains are installed on bottom lift sling and sling is installed in crane storage cradle, unhook chain links from
notch in storage box on crane.
f. Take up slack in hook block cable and slowly lift bottom lift sling until it is clear of storage cradle (or ground/pallet storage).
Ensure chains do not snag or kink as they uncoil from storage box.
g. If shortening hooks are not installed, attach shortening hooks to bottom lift sling with shackles and alloy chain connectors.
h. If container lift chains are not installed, find center marking of lift chains and center each chain between shortening hooks.
Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) of chain looped between shortening hooks on each end of bottom lift sling. Required chain
length for either 20 ft or 40 ft containers, and space between container and sling, is controlled by length of chain loops
between shortening hooks.
i. Slowly lift bottom lift sling straight up, while controlling chains, to ensure chains do not snag or kink as sling is raised.
j. As sling is raised, inspect chain links, link by link, for wear, bends, cracks, scratches, corrosion, and evidence of stretch-
ing. If extreme wear is found, check stock diameter to ensure it is within service limits.

TM 11262A-OR/4
4. Attaching Bottom Lift Sling to Container.
a. Using four ground guides and tag lines attached to rotary lift lugs (to control rotational movement), lift bottom lift sling and
chains until centered over container.
b. Pull each chain and rotary lift lug to bottom corner lifting hole of container. Align, insert, and twist rotary lift lug until it is in
locked position in each of four lifting holes.
c. As bottom lift sling is raised, force of lift will lock rotary lift lugs in place. When fully lowered with container at rest, rotary lift
lugs can be turned to unlocked position and removed.
5. Lifting Container.
WARNING
• Failure to exercise adequate safety precautions may result in injury or death to personnel.
• Do not lift with twisted or kinked chains.
• Never attempt to lift a container that is loaded to a gross weight that exceeds safe working load of sling.
• Ensure all ground guides are positioned well clear of container being lifted. Personnel in immediate vicin-
ity and personnel participating in operation of sling must be continuously alert to inherent dangers associ-
ated with handling containers.
• Use a guide rope or tag line to help control container sway.
a. Slowly lift container and check lift function and stability. Ensure container is load leveled sufficiently for intended purpose.
NOTE
Legs on each end should be of equal length and lift angles must conform to noted data on illustration.

TM 11262A-OR/4
5. Lifting Container - Continued.
b. If adjustments are required, lower container to ground and slacken chains. Shorten two legs on heavy end equally and
lengthen legs on light end equally. Ensure same number of links on both chains are adjusted. There should always be
slack in chain length between shortening hooks.
c. Adjust side-to-side leveling by moving lift ring at top of strongback assembly toward heavy side.

4. Emergency Procedure to Raise Boom (Override Luffing Cylinder Brake).
WARNING
• DO NOT slew superstructure unless crane is fully supported on outriggers.
• In extreme emergency situations only, e.g., engine damage and crane not supported on outriggers, boom
may be slewed up to 45° away from transport position for access to engine compartment. If an angle larger
than 45° is required, additional measures must be taken to support boom. Otherwise, there is a danger of
crane tipping over.

4. Emergency Procedure to Raise Boom (Override Luffing Cylinder Brake) - Continued.
NOTE
• If engine is damaged, it may become necessary to raise boom about 16° in order to slew it to the side for
access to engine compartment for repairs.
439-488
• Use the following procedure to raise boom if engine or hydraulic system fails during crane operation.
• Boom movement during emergency raising will be slow. This is normal.

TM 11262A-OR/4
b. Remove coupling from pressure hose and connect
hose from hand pump to Mb brake relief valve
adapter on luffing cylinder.
c. Leave ball valve in closed position.
439-489
NOTE
• In order to manually raise boom to a 16° elevation, approximately 15 in. (375 mm) of travel is required for
luffing cylinder. This corresponds to approximately 6 gal. (23 L) of hydraulic fluid.
• Approximately 1,500 pump strokes, at 0.016 qt/stroke (0.015 L/stroke), at a pressure of approximately
1,160-1,450 psi (80-100 bar), would be required to accomplish this.
• An average pumping rate of 17 strokes per minute was used to calculate an approximate time of 88 min-
utes to pump boom up to 16° elevation.

TM 11262A-OR/4
d. Operate hand pump to open brake valve. Luffing
cylinder will start to raise boom slowly and will con-
tinue to raise it as long as hand pump is operated.
439-485
e. Disconnect pressure hose from brake relief adapter as soon as desired height is reached.

TM 11262A-OR/4
5. Emergency Procedure for Slewing (Override Slew Gear Brake).
WARNING
DO NOT exceed maximum air pressure of 725 psi (50 bar) when performing this procedure. Failure to com-
ply could result in injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
NOTE
• Use the following procedure to slew superstructure if engine or hydraulic system fails during crane opera-
tion.
• Emergency slewing motion will be slow. This is normal.
a. Remove 10 M6 round Allen head screws from cover
on controls rack behind crane operator’s cab.
Remove cover and set aside.

5. Emergency Procedure for Slewing (Override Slew Gear Brake) - Continued.
NOTE
Slew gear motor is seated tightly in bore.
b. Remove two flange bolts from slew gear motor.
Remove motor and set aside.

Gear Brake) - Continued.
d. Connect hand pump to hydraulic tank.
e. Disconnect slew gear brake hose from coupling.
439-493
f. Connect pressure hose from hand pump to slew

gear brake coupling.
NOTE
Approximately 290 psi (20 bar) pressure is
required to open brake valve.
g. Operate hand pump to open brake valve.
h. With brake valve opened, use socket wrench with
adapter to slew superstructure right or left.
