Abbreviations and definitions used on the load diagrams and load tables

Lift mode: Onboard lift mode Lifting a load from or to the deck of the installation that the crane is mounted on.

Offboard lift mode Lifting a load from or to anywhere not on the installation that the crane is mounted on.

Personnel lift mode Lifting operation where personnel are lifted by the crane.

Crane location: Type of installation, in general fix supported or floating installation

Crane is lifting to or from: Type of load supporting installation, in general fix supported or floating

SWL: Safe Working Load is the actual hook load permitted for a given operation condition, also called rated load or rated capacity.

Load radius or radius: The load radius or radius is the horizontal distance between the crane's centre line and the hook position under consideration of an

undeformed crane system.

SWH: Significant Wave Height = H1/3 = HSignificant

LCN: Load curve number

Dynamic factor : A variable factor representing the dynamic effects that the working load is exposed to. Also named dynamic coefficient or dynamic hoisting

factor. In connection with subsea- / seabed lifts, the expression DAF (Dynamic Amplification Factor) is used instead of dynamic factor.

H-Load: The H-Load given in the tables is the maximum allowed horizontal load which may act on the hoist point of the active lifting system. The

H-Load includes off- and sidelead effects, wind effects, water flow effects (e.g. during seabed lifts) etc. and may act in any horizontal

direction. The H-Load is given for heavy lift cranes for information to allow the operator to prepare and perform engineered lifts. It is within the

responsibility of the operator (e.g. by pre-calculation of lift scenario), that the allowed H-Loads are not exceeded during the lift.

OPL: Operational Limitation (see user manual)

Elevation: Vertical height between boom pivot point and load supporting deck. For offboard lifts, the installation has to be operated within the given

elevation limits.

Calculation method: Three methods are available for calculating the dynamic forces acting on a crane in a specific load condition:

Method Main characteristic

DDM - Default Dynamic Method A constant value is used for the dynamic factor . The value is given by the valid design code or via
customer specification.

GM - General method The calculation of the dynamic factor is partly based on motion data given in the valid design code.

VSM - Vessel Specific Method The calculation of the dynamic factor is partly based on installation specific motion data
calculated witin a specific motion analysis.

The method used is given on the "LOAD DIAGRAM AND LOAD TABLE"

Motion limits: If applicable, the following motion data are given on each load table. The values are maximum values which shall not be exeeded during lift

operation. The size of the values is based on the calculation method used (s. above). It is within the responsibility of the operator, that the

operation is, among others, done within these limits. If required, the real values occuring in practise must be evaluated by help of measuring

or by help of a motion analysis of the involved installations.


vc : Maximum allowed vertical velocity of the crane boom tip due to movement of the crane base. Only applicable if the crane is located

on a floating unit.
vd : Maximum allowed vertical velocity of the load supporting deck.
az : Maximum allowed vertical crane base acceleration (at top of pedestal). Only applicable if the crane is located on a floating unit.
ay : Maximum allowed horizontal crane base acceleration (at top of pedestal). Only applicable if the crane is located on a floating unit.
vh,min : Minimum required hoisting speed to avoid re-contact with the load supporting deck after the load is lifted.

n.a. not applicable

Seabed or Subsea lift:

• Definition Seabed lift Lifting a load offboard to or from seabed - the hook is not submerged (in air only).

Subsea lift Lifting a load offboard to or from seabed - the hook is submerged.
• Seabed- / Subsea - Lifts are engineered lifts which are to be completely planed by the operator.

• Impact loads which occur during the different phases of the lift are to be determined by the operator e.g. according to "Det Norske Veritas (DNV) Rules for Planing and

Execution of Marine Operations, Part 2, Chapter 6 Sub Sea Operations", 1996

• it is within the responsibility of the crane operator to select a suitable subsea curve which covers the calculated effects during the subsea- / seabed lift. The operation limits

are given on the load chart table (DAF, wind speed, static inclination, off- and sidelead forces / angles, up to water depth, etc.).

should be aborted and protective measures against the storm damage should be taken.
o During operation of the machine with permissible wind speeds
− respect dangerously high gusts of wind,
− use large items with expansive surfaces only with reduced load (e.g. prefabricated limits),
− move the loads carefully and slowly and avoid every oscillation.

DANGER !
If the maximum permissible wind speed is exceeded, shut down operation immediately:
Lower the load and leave the machine in the parking position.

The parking position


− is suitable for conditions above the maximum permissible wind speed during crane operation, up to maximum
wind speed
− is determined for the different main operation types under point "Parking position".

DANGER !
It is hazardous to remain in the immediate vicinity of the machine during maximum wind speeds!

The occurring wind loads could lead to partial or complete destruction of the boom.
Countermeasures:
At maximum allowed wind speeds, the boom must be laid down in rest position.

3.9.2. SNOW AND ICE LOADS

DANGER !
Danger of accident due to chunks of ice breaking loose and falling down.
Increased danger of damage due of frozen hoist limit switch on the boom.
− Lay down the boom and carefully chip off the larger deposits of ice.
− Remove ice from all sensitive parts, such as hoist limit switches, guides, etc.

CAUTION !
Deposits of snow and ice on the boom
− increase the weight of the boom,
− enlarge the surfaces susceptible to wind.
These factors lead to a higher load it can no longer be operated with the maximum permissible load.
Considerable amounts of snow can accumulate on the optionally mounted walkways on the boom.

3.9.3. LIGHTNING STRIKES

WARNING !
When lightning strikes, there is danger of injury to all persons in the immedi
ate vicinity of the machine from electric shocks or dangerous level of voltage.

Countermeasures:
o Lay down the boom of the machine punctually before the storm begins.
o Do not remain or leave any large metal objects in the immediate vicinity of the machine during the
thunderstorm.

. NOTE !
Within the interior of the locked operator’s cab, the machine operator is largely protected from the
direct affects of the lightning. The operator’s cab acts as a Faraday cage and channels the lightning
charge safely over the machine.

Laying down the main boom is discretionary and is the responsibility of the machine operator, especially at
sites with regular thunder storms or restricted working area.
The manufacturer expressly recommends that the main boom be lain down punctually when a thunderstorm
is brewing
− with long boom lengths,
− on exposed terrain,
− near riverbanks.

CAUTION !
A strike can cause major damage to the machine, including:

o Total shut−down of the Litronic−control.


o Local welds and damage to bearings on the rotary connection between slewing platform and mast.
Measures in accordance with a confirmed or suspected lighting strike to the machine:
o Thoroughly inspect the machine. (Especially for damaged electric cables.)
o Check functioning of the entire control.
o Move the swing gear slowly listening for distinct noises coming from the rotary connection, especially in the
swing.
o Lay down the boom and inspect for damage. Repair any damage to the paintwork at the point of impact.

Stereo inputs for auxiliary sources


The DIN socket enables the connection of two stereo sources with signal output at 0 dB (car
radio, CD−player, etc.). When the two inputs are driven simultaneously, the signals from the two
sources are transmitted in the mixed mode..

MONO" switch
This knob adjusts the response to the low frequencies, which are emphasized or attenuated
when the knob is turned clockwise or anti−clockwise, respectively. With the knob in the middle
position, the frequency is not modified.

ATT." switch
When lowered, this switch activates the circuit for attenuating the auxiliary source. This function
makes it possible to give priority to microphone announcements, which are otherwise trans
mitted together with the auxiliary source.

Tone control
This knob adjusts the response to the low frequencies, which are emphasized or attenuated
when the knob is turned clockwise or anti−clockwise, respectively. With the knob in the middle
position, the frequency is not modified.

Volume control for auxiliary inputs


This knob adjusts the volume of the microphones connected to the AUX IN" input. The volume
is increased by turning the knob clockwise.

Volume control for microphone inputs


This knob adjusts the volume of the microphones connected to the MIC" inputs (DIN and XLR).
The volume is increased by turning the knob clockwise.

−4.63− 1760_170461
CONTROLANDOPERATINGELEMENTS

DIN input for microphones


Enables the connection of dynamic microphones with balanced or unbalanced microphones.
When this input is used at the same time as the XLR input, the signals related to the two micro
phones are transmitted in mixed mode. Special terminals of the socket make it possible to
manually control music attenuation (see description ATT. switch") and to supply a LED for indi
cating that the microphone is on.

XLR input for microphones


Like the DIN microphone input, this input enables the connection of dynamic microphones with
balanced or unbalanced output. When this input is used at the same time as the DIN input, the
signals related to the two microphones are transmitted.

On / Off switch with inserted LED


For switching on the unit, indicated by the LED on the key. Before switching the amplifier on,
make sure that the volume controls (4) and (5) are set to the minimum (knob turned all the way
anti−clockwise).

5.14. LITRONIC® TEST SYSTEM

The Litronic® test system is a comprehensive diagnostic and servicing tool, that can be operated on the
Litronic® monitor, a Service Notebook and or via a modem connection*.
It is used to examine in/outputs, flags, internal variables and status.
The Litronic® test system can be called simultaneously and completely independently from several inter
faces (Litronic® monitor, Service Notebook, Modem* etc.).

The Litronic® test system consists of several "menus". It is possible to use the function symbols to switch
between these menus.
Many of the menus have two menu bars, and it is possible to switch between these using the MENU 1/2
function symbol. When the menu is called, the first menu bar always appears.
When the Litronic® test system is called for the first time the main menu is loaded. Whenever the pro
gram is called again, it will load the menu that had been active prior to exiting last time. The remaining
settings also remain intact.

. IMPORTANT !
Only LIEBHERR service personnel are allowed to make changes to the setting and/or corrected values
through the Litronic® service panel.

How to execute the function symbols several times in succession


Some commands can be carried out several times in succession, by entering the number of times it is to
execute (appears on the input bar) and then actuating the function symbol you want. This can include, for
example PREVIOUS and NEXT.

7. MAINTENANCE

In tables, this chapter lists all maintenance works that have to be carried out on the crane.

. NOTE!
The exchange of the following components must be requested from our after sales service depart
ment: Winches, boom, slew bearing, gearboxes, drive units and all safety−relevant parts.

The operator is responsible for a job safety assessment and safe method of temporary access when
maintenance work is done on difficult to reach areas.

7.1. QUALIFIED PERSONS

Persons responsible for the safety of the crane must ensure that:
l Qualified persons are only delegated to work on the machinery or apparatus.
l These persons must keep the Operating manual provided, and other documents, available when carrying
out the operations to which they refer and to follow that documentation without fail.
l Unauthorized persons are prohibited from working on, or approaching, the machinery or apparatus.
l Qualified persons are persons who, as a result of their training, experience and the instruction they have
received, and of their knowledge of the relevant Standards, directives, accident prevention regulations and
operating conditions, have been authorized by those responsible for the safety of the machine to carry
out the particular task required and who are able to recognize and avoid the potential hazards.
l A knowledge of first−aid and local rescue equipment is essential.
l According to regulations, unqualified personnel are forbidden to work for example on power installations
and apparatus.

. NOTE!
The specified maintenance and inspection intervals must not be exceeded. When required, shorten
the intervals.

The safety guidelines in chapter 3 must be observed and strictly adhered to.

Maintenance must be carried out conscientiously within the specified intervals. These maintenance
intervals are indicated in operating hours and calendar days. Apply the maintenance interval that
comes first.

Whenever the crane will not be in use for at least 3 months, all exposed parts must be covered and
protected against the environment. The protective covers have to be removed before restarting the
crane.

The boom should only be inspected (if applicable) when the boom is in the horizontal position.

7.1.1. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL AND AUTHORISED SPECIALISTS

MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL
Trained personnel who have received qualified training and posses the necessary specialist knowledge and
experience to perform the various maintenance tasks.

AUTHORISED SPECIALISTS
Personnel who have received specialist training, posses in−depth knowledge about the components and sys
tems, and are authorised by LIEBHERR to perform the specified tasks. These persons are primarily LIEB
HERR service engineers, who have been trained and authorised at one of the service centres.

7.1.2. REMARK CONCERNING NATIONAL REGULATIONS

All of the following maintenance tasks are deemed mandatory by the manufacturer. However, they do not in
clude the requirements of any classification bodies or other regulatory authorities.

MAINTENANCE

7.2. MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

The maintenance intervals mentioned in this section are guiding times and should be observed. If due to ex
treme environmental conditions (i.e. dust, tropical conditions) or extreme operational conditions (i.e. multiple
shift operation) a deviation to the given maintenance interval(s) should become necessary, ask your local
LIEBHERR CUSTOMER SERVICE for advice and confirmation to do so.

. NOTE !
It should be noted that in particular the maintenance time intervals indicated are approximate. in real
ity these intervals should depend on crane usage and therefore − may need to be updated accord
ingly.

. IMPORTANT !
The maintenance intervals indicated in the maintenance list are based on the actual operating hours
of the crane. Should the crane be standing for a period of more then four (4) weeks − the crane has
to be operated once a month for at least two (2) hours. In addition to that all the greasing, oil inspec
tions and oil level checks have to be done as well.

7.3. MAINTENANCE CHART


Different symbols (circle, box, asterisk − filled; circle, box, asterisk − empty) divide the maintenance operations
into two groups.

Meaning of symbols

q m ¶ Symbols without colour fill:


− These maintenance and inspection tasks are to be carried out by authorized
maintenance staff of LIEBHERR or its authorized dealers.

n l « Symbols with colour fill:


− In these cases the machine operator or its maintenance staff carry out the
maintenance tasks under its own responsibility.

Special intervals are maintenance intervals that must be carried out in addition to the stipulated maintenance
intervals.
The spare parts required for maintenance and inspection work can be found in the spare parts catalogue.

. NOTE !

l Use the mechanical service hours counter on the left control panel in the cab to determine
the service intervals.
l If necessary, carry out the maintenance and inspection tasks before the specified intervals.
l All filters must be changed at least every two years.
l Clean or replace dirty filters before the specified intervals.

7.5. MAIN DRIVE MOTOR


The electric motor is intended to be installed and used by qualified personnel who are familiar with relevant
safety requirements. Safety equipment necessary for the prevention of accidents at the mounting and operat
ing site shall be provided in accordance with t he regulations prevailing in the local country.

INFORMATIONS ON NAME PLATE (EXAMPLE)

7.5.1. MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION


F Inspect the machine at regular intervals.
F Keep the machine clean and ensure free ventilation air−flow.
F Check the condition of connections and mounting and assembly bolts.
F Check the bearing condition by listening for unusual noise, vibration measurement, bearing tem
perature, inspection of spent grease

. NOTE !
When changes of condition occur, dismantle the machine, check the parts and replace if necessary.

LUBRICANTS
When regreasing, use only special ball bearing grease with the following properties:
F good quality lithium base or lithium complex grease
F base oil viscosity 100−140 cST at 40 °C
F consistency NLGI grade 2 or 3
F temperature range −30 °C − +120 °C, continuously

. IMPORTANT !
The machine is fitted with a lubrication information plate. Follow the given values.

The grease amount is used if small quantities of fresh grease are replaced at regular intervals as above. As
an alternative, when the machine is fitted with grease escape valves, fresh grease may be pressed into the
bearings until the old grease is totally replaced.
Greases with the correct properties are available from all the major lubricant manufacturers. If the make of
grease is changed and compatibility is uncertain, lubricate several times at short intervals in order to displace
the old grease.
Highly loaded and / or slowly rotating bearings require EP−grease. If lubrication intervals are short due to bear
ing temperatures above 80 °C or above, use high temperature greases which normally permit approximately
15° C higher bearing temperatures.

7.12. SLEWING BEARING − WEAR MEASUREMENT

For assessing the condition of a bearing, the wear rate is to be determined. The wear present in the raceway
system shows itself by a change in the axial motion of the bearing. Depending on the individual conditions,
wear is to be determined by measuring the tilting clearance.

7.14. ROPES

7.14.1. CONDITION BEFORE INSTALLATION

Rope replacement

Only a rope of the correct length, diameter, construction and breaking force as specified by the
cranemanufacturer shall be installed on the crane, unless an alternative rope has been approved by the
crane manufacturer. Only rope terminations specified by the crane manufacturer, or alternatives similarly
approved, shall be used to attach a rope to a drum, hook block or crane structure.

Instructions from the crane manufacturer and the rope manufacturer


The instructions in the crane manual and those given by the manufacturer shall be followed.
Before re−equipping the crane, all grooves in drums and sheaves shall be checked to ensure that they will
correctly accept the replacement rope.

Offloading and storage


To avoid accidents, ropes shall be offloaded with care. The rope reels or coils shall not be dropped, nei
ther shall the rope be struck by a metal hook or fork of a fork−lift truck.

Ropes shall be stored in a cool, dry building and shall not be in contact with the floor. Ropes shall never
be stored where they are liable to be affected by chemical fumes, steam or other corrosive agents. Ropes
in storage shall be examined periodically and if necessary, a rope dressing applied. If outdoor storage
cannot be avoided, the ropes should be covered so that moisture cannot induce corrosion.

−7.39− 1760_170461
MAINTENANCE

7.14.2. INSTALLATION

Uncoiling and installing


When uncoiling the wire rope from a reel or coil, every precaution shall be taken to avoid the inducement
of turn into, or loss of turn out of, the rope. Allowing such a condition can result in formation of loops, kinks
or bends in the rope. To prevent this condition, the rope shall be paid out without slack and in a straight
line.

A revolving reel of rope can have a high inertia, in which case it needs to be controlled in order to slowly
pay out the rope.
Rope in coil should be paid out from a turntable. Alternatively, where a coil is of short length, the outer end
of the coil may be made free and the remainder rolled along the ground. For ease of handling, the inside
end shall first be secured to an adjacent wrap. A rope shall never be paid out by throwing off wraps with
the coil or reel flat on the ground.

. NOTE !
The rope must not be pulled over the ground as it will get dirty.

Particular care shall be taken with rotation−resistant ropes to ensure that they are installed without induc
ing or losing turn, and that any cut is secure and prevented from unlaying.

. NOTE !
If the strands are disturbed, deformation of the rope is likely to occur during subsequent use and
the service life of the rope may be reduced.

1760_170461 −7.40−
MAINTENANCE

. NOTE !
Introducing or losing turn during installation can result in additional twisting of the hook block.

The lay of the rope shall not be disturbed during installation, i.e. turn should not be put in nor taken out of
the rope. During installation, the rope shall always bend in the same direction: i.e. pay out from the top of
the reel to the top of the drum, or from the bottom of the reel to the bottom of the drum.
Care shall be taken to ensure that termination anchorages are made and secured in accordance with the
given instruction. If the rope rubs against any part of the crane during installation, then the points of con
tact shall be suitably protected.
For the installation the new rope is fixed to the old rope still mounted or it is to be fixed to a auxiliary rope.
Connection between the two ropes can be achieved either by a basket or two welded eyes. Any transmis
sion of torsion from either the old or the auxiliary rope to the new rope must be definitively excluded. Rota
tion−resistant ropes must be protected from torsion by inserted swivels.
Multi−layer reeving requires that even the lower layers must be tightly coiled with a pretension of 1 − 2 % of
minimum breaking load of the rope. This pretension is achieved by braking the reel.
For multi layer reeving hoisting rope and drum should have the same direction. If it is required to spread
out a limited rope length on the floor for mounting the rope into the crane block it is important to avoid any
twist or torsion in the rope.
If wear mainly occurs if rope is multi−layer reeved on the Lebus drum, rope life may be increased by cutting−off
one length according to 1/3 of drum circumference. This procedure can be repeated up to three times per rope.
Non−rotation free ropes may be used with fixed points at both ends only.
For luffing winches, the rope lenght must be appropriate shorten.
In park position or lowest boom position for service (lowest boom angle) 5−6 saftey windings must be on
the luffing rope drum to avoid damges of the lower layers.

Running in

Before bringing the rope into operation on the crane, the crane operator has to:
F check load lifting devices.
F check the spooling condition of the winch and the rope pulleys.

To ensure correct winch spooling condition min. 3 operational cycles have to be carried out with reduced
speed and reduced load.
F Reduced speed: ~30% of v(max)
F Reduced load: ~10% of SWL(max)
additional:
F 2 operating cycles with 1/3 SWL(max)

7.14.3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNTWISTING OF HOIST ROPES

The direction of untwist can be determined also by simulating this situation by simply using a string.

1) Twisting of a multi−reeved crane block may be due to a number of causes. Any faults in the rope drive
must be eliminated, the load/stretch torsion will "seat in" after some time of rope operation.

2) If a hoist rope is operated with open swivel an untwisting by several runs with unloaded hook will be
sufficient in most cases.
If this procedure proves to be ineffective refer to the instructions given for compensation of twist for ropes
with rotation− stable fixed point, e.g. − if no swivel is provided
− if the rope is predamaged or
− if the causes of the twist can’t be eliminated.

3) Determination of direction of twist


At first the direction of the twist of the crane pulley block must be determined. Pictures 1 and 2 show a
possible twist of a right hand lay rope, on picture 3 + 4 of a left hand lay rope. In the right hand corner
of each picture a sketch shows the occurrence of multiple twist. The respective direction of twist is indica
ted by a continuously drawn arrow printed in boldface. If it is difficult to identify the direction of twist for
large hoisting heights turn rope in direction of arrow with dashed line once thus eliminating "braid". For
compensation turn rope end shown separately in the direction of the continues arrow. It is important that
the correct reference point is selected i.e. the crane operator must hold the rope in front of himself.

4) Untwisting of crane pulley block with rotation−stable rope fixed point:


− Set down of pulley block
− Determine direction of twist
− Detach rope at fixed point
− Carefully turn rope at free end of at least 15 m length up to max. 180 − 360 degrees to compensate
pulley block twist
− Reattach rope at the fixed point
− Carefully lift pulley block and operate unloaded crane with pulley block and jib
− Repeat if necessary

. IMPORTANT!
Make sure that twist is distributed to a long free rope end. By operating the crane in unloaded condi
tion twist is to be distributed to the entire rope length. By no means forcefully twist a short length
of rope; this may permanently damage rope structure.

MAINTENANCE

7.14.4. MAINTENANCE

Maintenance of the wire rope shall be carried out relative to the crane, its use, the environment and the
type of rope involved.
Subsequently the wire rope shall be cleaned where necessary, and the rope dressing re−applied at regular
intervals and before the rope shows signs of dryness or corrosion, particularly on the lengths which pass
over sheaves.

Lubricating ropes
Regular rope maintenance ensures safe operation of the crane and increases the service life of the rope.
Only a lubricant equivalent to the original rope lubricant may be used (see chart).

. NOTE !
A shorter working life of the rope will result from lack of maintenance, particularly if the crane is used
in a corrosive environment and, in certain cases for reasons connected with the operation, if no rope
dressing can be used. In such cases the period between rope examinations shall be reduced accor
dingly.

The rope must be regularly lubricated, particularly where it flexes around the winch drums and
the rope pulleys. Grease is normally applied using a brush. In exceptional cases, high pressure
lubricating devices are used (if these are used, the manufacturer’s instructions must be fol
lowed). An alternative is to use solvent−based lubricants that can be sprayed on the rope.

. NOTE !
The rope dressing shall be compatible with the original lubricant used by the manufacturer, and shall
have penetrating characteristics. If the rope dressing is not identified in the crane manual, the user
shall seek advice from the service department.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic examination
Periodic examination shall be carried out by competent persons
In order to determine the frequency of a periodic examination, consideration shall be given to
a) the statutory requirements covering the application in the country of use,
b) the type of crane and the environmental conditions in which it operates,
c) the classification group of the crane,
d) the results of previous examination,
e) the length of time the rope has been in service.
Ropes should be examined at least once per month or more often, in accordance with the instructions of
the competent person.

. NOTE !
Depending on the condition of the rope, the competent person may deem it necessary to reduce
the time interval between examinations.

Special examination
The rope shall be examined if an incident has occurred which could have caused damage to the rope
and/or its termination, or if a rope has been brought back into operation after dismantling followed by re−
assembly.
If the crane has been out of operation for three months or more, the ropes should be examined prior to
recommencement of work.

. NOTE !
Depending on the condition of the rope, the competent person may deem it necessary to reduce
the time interval between examinations.

Inspection of ropes operating on synthetic sheaves or metal sheaves having synthetic lining
If a rope operates either solely or partially over synthetic sheaves or over metal sheaves having a syn
thetic lining, wire breaks can occur internally in large numbers before there is any external visible evi
dence of wire breaks or of substantial wear on the periphery of the rope. In these conditions, consider
ation shall be given to the establishment of a specific inspection schedule period based on past rope
performance data, taking into account the results from regular inspection in service and information gained
from detailed examination of ropes following retirement from service.
Particular attention shall be paid to any localized area which exhibits a dryness or denaturing of the lubri
cant.
Information for the criteria for discard of wire rope for specific lifting appliances shall be based on an ex
change of information between the crane manufacturer and the wire rope manufacturer.

. NOTE !
Depending on the condition of the rope, the competent person may deem it necessary to reduce
the time interval between examinations.

Points to be covered by examination

General
Although the wire rope shall be examined throughout its length, particular care shall be taken at the follow
ing
locations:
a) the termination points of both moving and stationary ropes;

−7.45− 1760_170461
MAINTENANCE

b) that part of the rope which passes through the block or over sheaves;
c) in the case of cranes performing a repetitive operation, any part of the rope which lies over
sheave(s) while the crane is in a loaded condition );
d) that part of the rope which lies over a compensating sheave;
e) any part of the rope which may be subject to abrasion by external features (e.g. hatch coamings);
f) internals of the rope, for corrosion and fatigue;
g) any part of the rope exposed to heat.
The results of the examination shall be recorded in the examination record for the crane.

Terminations, excluding slings


The rope shall be examined in the area where it passes out from the termination, as this position is critical
for the onset of fatigue (wire breaks) and corrosion. The terminal fittings themselves shall also be ex
amined for signs of distortion or wear.
Terminations involving pressed or swaged ferrules shall be similarly examined, and the ferrule checked for
cracks in the material and possible slippage between the ferrule and the rope.
Detachable terminations (e.g. wedge sockets, grips) shall be examined for broken wires within and under
the termination, and for tightness of wedges and screwed grips. The examination should also include an
assessment that the standards and codes of practice specified for the termination of the rope have been
met.
Eye splices made by hand shall be examined to check that they are served only over the tail of the splice
(so as to protect the hands from protruding wire), while at all times allowing the remainder of the splice to
be visually inspected for wire breaks.
When broken wires are evident close to, or within, the termination, it may be possible to shorten the rope
and re−fit the terminal fittings. However, the resulting length of the wire rope shall be sufficient to allow for
the minimum required number of rope wraps on the drum.

Non−destructive testing

Non−destructive testing by electromagnetic techniques may be used as an aid to visual inspection to de
termine areas and levels of rope deterioration.
When it is the intention to use electromagnetic means of NDT as an aid to visual examination, the rope
should be subject to an initial electromagnetic NDT examination as soon as possible after the rope has
been installed.

7.14.6. DISCARD CRITERIA

General
The safe use of wire rope is qualified by the following criteria:
a) the nature and number of broken wires;
b) broken wires at the termination;
c) localized grouping of wire breaks;
d) the rate of increase of wire breaks;
e) the fracture of strands;
f) reduction of rope diameter, including that resulting from core deterioration;
g) decreased elasticity;
h) external and internal wear;
i) external and internal corrosion;
j) deformation;
k) damage due to heat or electric arcing;
l) rate of increase of permanent elongation.
All examinations shall take into account these individual factors, recognizing the particular criteria. How
ever, deterioration frequently results from a combination of factors, giving a cumulative effect which should
be recognized by the competent person, and which reflects the decision to discard the rope or to allow it
to remain in service.
In all cases, the examiner shall investigate whether the deterioration has been caused by an abnormality
in the crane; if so, he should recommend action to overcome that abnormality before installing a new
rope.
The individual degrees of deterioration should be assessed, and expressed as a percentage of the partic
ular discard criteria. The cumulative degree of deterioration at any given position is determined by adding
together the individual values that are recorded at that position in the rope. When the cumulative value at
any position reaches 100 %, the rope should be discarded.

Nature and number of broken wires

The overall design of a crane is such that it does not permit indefinite rope life. In the case of 6− and
8−strand ropes, broken wires usually occur at the external surface. In the case of rotation−resistant ropes,
there is a probability that the majority of broken wires will occur internally and are non−visible" fractures.
Tables 1 and 2 take these factors into account when considered in conjunction with the factors.
One valley break may indicate internal rope deterioration, requiring closer inspection of this section of
rope. When two or more valley breaks are found in one lay length, the rope should be considered for dis
card.
When establishing rejection criteria for rotation−resistant ropes, consideration shall be given to the rope
construction, length of service and the way in which the rope is being used. Guidance relating the number
of visible broken wires and their rejection is given in Table 2.
Particular attention shall be paid to any localized area which exhibits a dryness or denaturing of the lubri
cation.

MAINTENANCE

Table 1  Number, reached or exceeded, of visible broken wires in single−layer and parallel−
closed ropes working in steel sheaves, signalling mandatory discard of rope

Broken wires at termination

Broken wires at, or adjacent to, the termination, even if few in number, are indicative of high stresses at
this position and can be caused by incorrect fitting of the termination. The cause of this deterioration shall
be investigated and, where possible, the termination shall be remade, shortening the rope if sufficient
length remains for further use, otherwise the rope shall be discarded.

1760_170461 −7.48−
MAINTENANCE

Localized grouping of broken wires


Where broken wires are very close together, constituting a localized grouping of such breaks, the rope
shall be discarded. If the grouping of such breaks occurs in a length less than 6d or is concentrated in any
one strand, it may be necessary to discard the rope even if the number of wire breaks is smaller than the
maximum number shown in Tables 1 and 2.
Table 2  Number, reached or exceeded, of visible broken wires in rotation−resistant ropes work
ing in steel sheaves, signalling mandatory discard of rope

Rate of increase of broken wires


In applications where the predominant cause of rope deterioration is fatigue, broken wires will appear after
a certain period of use, and the number of breaks will progressively increase over time.
In these cases, it is recommended that careful periodic examination and recording of the number of bro
ken wires be undertaken, with a view to establishing the rate of increase in the number of breaks. This
premise may be used to propose a future date for rope discard.

Fracture of strands
If a complete strand fracture occurs, the rope shall be immediately discarded.

Reduction of rope diameter resulting from core deterioration


Reduction of rope diameter resulting from deterioration of the core can be caused by
a) internal wear and wire indentation,
b) internal wear caused by friction between individual strands and wires in the rope, particularly when it is
subject to bending,
c) deterioration of a fibre core,
d) fracture of a steel core,
e) fracture of internal layers in a rotation−resistant rope.
If these factors cause the actual rope diameter to decrease by 3 % of the nominal rope diameter for rota
tionresistant ropes, or by 10 % for other ropes, the rope shall be discarded even if no broken wires are
visible.

. NOTE !
New ropes will normally have an actual diameter greater than the nominal diameter.

−7.49− 1760_170461
MAINTENANCE

Low values of deterioration might not be so apparent from normal examination, particularly if the rope
stresses are well balanced throughout the individual strands. However, the condition can result in a high
loss of rope strength, so any suggestion of such internal deterioration shall be verified by internal ex
amination procedures. If such deterioration is confirmed, the rope shall be discarded.

External wear
Abrasion of the crown wires of outer strands in the rope results from rubbing contact, under pressure, with
the grooves in the sheaves and drums. The condition is particularly evident on moving ropes at points of
sheave contact when the load is being accelerated or decelerated, and is revealed by flat surfaces on the
outer wires.
Wear is promoted by lack of lubrication, or incorrect lubrication, and also by the presence of dust and grit.
Wear reduces the strength of ropes by reducing the cross−sectional area of the steel strands.
If, due to external wear, the actual rope diameter has decreased by 7 % or more of the nominal rope di
ameter, the rope shall be discarded even if no wire breaks are visible.

Decreased elasticity
Under certain circumstances usually associated with the working environment, a rope can sustain a sub
stantial decrease in elasticity and is thus unsafe for further use.
Decreased elasticity is difficult to detect. If the examiner has any doubt, advice shall be obtained from a
specialist in wire ropes. However, it is usually associated with the following:
a) reduction in rope diameter;
b) elongation of the rope lay length;
c) lack of clearance between individual wires and between strands, caused by the compression of the
component parts against each other;
d) appearance of fine, brown powder between or within the strands;
e) increased stiffness.
While no wire breaks may be visible, the wire rope will be noticeably stiffer to handle and will certainly
have a reduction in diameter greater than that related purely to wear of individual wires. This condition can
lead to abrupt failure under dynamic loading and is sufficient justification for immediate discard.

1760_170461 −7.50−
MAINTENANCE

External and internal corrosion

General
Corrosion occurs particularly in marine and polluted industrial atmospheres. It will diminish the breaking
strength of the rope by reducing the metallic cross−sectional area, and it will accelerate fatigue by causing
surface irregularities which lead to stress cracking. Severe corrosion can cause decreased elasticity of the
rope.

Check for: Photographs of damage:

Pockets: can occur when the outer layer of wires


loosens or the outer wire braids are longer than the
inner ones. Movement of the outer wires or strands
in relation to the inner ones causes movement of
the excess length at a particular location.

Loop formation: single wires or groups of wires


emerge from the rope structure. The loops usually
lie in a series of braids.

Contractions: are reductions in the diameter of


the wire rope over short lengths. Rope sections
immediately before the end attachment must be
checked for contractions with particular care. Con
tractions are often difficult to recognize at these
points.

−7.51− 1760_170461
MAINTENANCE

Check for: Photographs of damage:

Knots: are deformations of the wire rope that are


formed when a eyelet−shaped rope loop is pulled
straight without the wire rope being able to com
pensate by turning on its axis.

Corkscrews: with this type of deformation, the


axis of the unloaded wire rope becomes helical.
This does not weaken the wire rope initially, though
it might prevent the rope drive from running
smoothly. The resultant damage can include in
creased abrasion and more wire breaks. The rope
must be withdrawn from service if the area of
greatest deformation exceeds 1/3 of the nominal
rope diameter.

F Stop using the machine and if possible determine the cause of the damage.

F Change the rope or pair of ropes immediately.

MAINTENANCE

Checking ropes for corrosion

Check for: Photographs of damage:

Corrosion: occurs mostly in corrosive and salt


water atmospheres (e.g. prolonged storage of
ropes in the open air, salt water atmospheres,
etc.). Two types of corrosion occur: atmospheric
corrosion (causes "even" rust) and localized corro
sion, such as pitting (forms deep holes in places
where the protective sheath is missing or dam
aged). The photographs both show atmospheric
corrosion.

The diameter of the rope has reduced as a result


of corrosion. If the rope diameter has reduced by
10% or more relative to the nominal dimension, the
rope must be changed regardless of whether or not
wire breaks have occurred.

Checking ropes for abrasion

Check for: Photographs of damage:

Abrasion: abrasion reduces not only the static


breaking force of the rope due to reduction of the
metallic cross−section, but also its fatigue limit as a
result of wear notches. If the rope diameter has
reduced by 10% or more relative to the nominal
dimension, the rope must be changed regardless
of whether or not wire breaks have occurred.

Checking ropes for the effects of heat

Check for: Photographs of damage:

Heat damage: if the temperature rises above


300°C, the tensile fiber structure of the wire rope
caused by cold deformation recrystallizes and the
wire loses around 2/3 of its original strength.

An extreme form of heat damage is caused by


lightning strike. The rope may heat up at the point
of the strike to such an extent that the steel starts
to melt. In all cases of exposure to high tempera
tures, the rope must be changed regardless of
whether or not wire breaks have occurred.

. TROUBLESHOOTING !
If there is evidence of external heat damage, such as recrystallization, localized melting of steel, etc.:
F Stop using the machine and if possible determine the cause of the damage.

F Change the rope or pair of ropes immediately.

External corrosion

Corrosion of the outer wires can often be detected visually.


Wire slackness due to corrosion attack/steel loss is justification for immediate rope discard.

Internal corrosion

This condition is more difficult to detect than the external corrosion which frequently accompanies it, but
the following indications can be recognized:
a) variation in rope diameter;
In locations where the rope bends around sheaves, a reduction in diameter usually occurs. However, in
stationary ropes it is not uncommon for an increase in diameter to occur due to the build−up of rust under
the outer layer of strands.
b) loss of clearance between the strands in the outer layer of the rope, frequently combined with wire
breaks between or within the strands.
If there is any indication of internal corrosion, the rope should be subjected to internal examination. This
shall be carried out by a competent person.
Confirmation of severe internal corrosion is justification for immediate rope discard.

1760_170461 −7.54−
MAINTENANCE

Deformation
Visible distortion of the rope from its normal shape is termed deformation" and can create a change at the
deformation position which results in an uneven stress distribution in the rope.

Waviness
Waviness is a deformation in which the longitudinal axis of the wire rope takes the shape of a helix under
either a loaded or unloaded condition. While not necessarily resulting in any loss of strength, such a de
formation, if severe, can transmit a pulsation resulting in irregular rope drive. After prolonged working, this
will give rise to wear and wire breaks.
In the case of waviness, the wire rope shall be discarded if, under any load condition on a straight portion
of rope that does not bend around a sheave or drum, the following condition is met:
d1 > 4d/3
or, on a portion of rope that bends around a sheave or drum, the following condition is met:
d1 > 1,1d

d is the nominal diameter of the rope;


d1 is the diameter corresponding to the envelope of the deformed rope.

Basket or lantern deformation


Basket or lantern deformation, also called birdcage", is a result of a difference in length between the rope
core and the outer layer of strands. Different mechanisms can produce this deformation.
If, for example, a rope is running over a sheave or onto the drum under a great fleet angle, it will touch the
flange of the sheave or the drum groove first and then roll down into the bottom of the groove. This char
acteristic will unlay the outer layer of strands to a greater extent than the rope core, producing a difference
in length between these rope elements.
When running over a tight sheave", i.e. a sheave with a groove radius that is too small, the wire rope will
be compressed. This reduction in diameter will at the same time result in an increase in rope length. As
the outer layer of strands will be compressed and lengthened to a greater extent than the rope core, this
mechanism again will produce a difference in length between these rope elements.
In both cases, the sheaves and the drum will then be able to displace the loose outer strands and bring
the length difference to one location in the reeving system where it will appear as a basket or lantern de
formation. Ropes with a basket or lantern deformation shall be immediately discarded.

Core or strand protrusion/distortion


This feature is a special type of basket or lantern deformation in which the rope imbalance is indicated by
protrusion of the core (or centre of the rope, in the case of a rotation−resistant rope) between the outer
strands, or protrusion of an outer strand of the rope or strand from the core.
Rope with core or strand protrusion/distortion shall be immediately discarded.

Wire protrusion
In wire protrusion, certain wires or groups of wires rise up, on the side of the rope opposite to the sheave
groove, in the form of loops. Rope with wire protrusion shall be immediatly discarded.

Local increase in diameter of rope


A local increase in rope diameter can occur and might affect a relatively long length of the rope. This con
dition usually relates to a deformation of the core (in particular environments, a fibre core can swell up ow
ing to the effect of moisture) and consequently creates imbalance in the outer strands, which become in
correctly oriented. If this condition causes the actual rope diameter to increase by 5 % or more, the rope
shall be immediately discarded.

Flattened portions
Flattened portions of rope which pass through a sheave will quickly deteriorate, exhibiting broken wires
and may damage the sheave. In such cases the rope shall be discarded immediately.
Flattened portions of rope in standing rigging can be exposed to accelerated corrosion, and shall be sub
ject to inspection at a prescribed shortened frequency if retained in service.

Kinks or tightened loops


A kink or tightened loop is a deformation created by a loop in the rope which has been tightened without
allowing for rotation about its axis. Imbalance of lay length occurs, which will cause excessive wear, and in
severe cases the rope will be so distorted that it will have only a small proportion of its strength remaining.
Rope with a kink or tightened loop shall be immediately discarded.

Bends
Bends are angular deformations of the rope caused by external influence.

Damage due to heat or electric arcing


Ropes that have been subjected to exceptional thermal effects, externally recognized by the colours pro
duced in the rope, shall be immediately discarded.

7.14.7. OPERATING PERFORMANCE OF WIRE ROPE

Accurate recording of information by the examiner can be used to predict the performance of a particular
type rope on a crane. Such information is useful in regulating maintenance procedures and also control of
replacement rope stock. If such forecasting is used, it shall not have the effect of relaxing examinations or
prolonging operating period beyond that indicated by the criteria specified in the preceding clauses of this
International Standard.

7.14.8. CONDITION OF EQUIPMENT RELATED TO ROPE

Winding drums and sheaves shall be checked periodically to ensure that all these components rotate cor
rectly their bearings.
Stiff or jammed sheaves or rollers wear heavily and unevenly, causing severe abrasion of the rope. Inef
fective compensating of sheaves can give rise to unequal loading in the rope reeving.
The radius at the bottom of the groove in all sheaves shall be appropriate to the nominal diameter of the
supplied (see ISO 4308−1 for further information). If the radius has become too large or too small, the
groove should be remachined or the sheave replaced.

7.14.9. ROPE EXAMINATION RECORD

For each periodic or special examination, the examiner shall provide a record containing information relat
ing the examination.

7.14.10. ROPE STORAGE AND IDENTIFICATION

Clean, dry and non−polluted storage shall be provided to prevent deterioration of rope not in use.
Means shall be provided to enable ropes to be clearly identified with respect to their examination records.

7.15. ROPE PULLEYS

7.15.1. CHECKING THE ROPE DRIVE

The service life of the rope depends to a large extent on checking of the rope drive. Any fault on the rope
drive will damage the rope. The rope will reach the end of its service life more quickly due to increased
wear.

The grooves of the winching drums and the rope pulleys are therefore checked for wear using a test tem
plate. In addition, the condition of the rope pulley bearings, the draw rolls on the winch drums, etc. is
checked to ensure the rope drive works correctly.

. NOTE !
Test templates are available in many different shapes. The best are round templates manufactured
on a lathe.

Checking winch drum groove base for wear

Make sure that the following requirements are met:


F The engine has been switched off and secured against unauthorized starting
F A suitable test gauge is available

Fig. Checking the groove base using the test template − the result is OK

1 Test gauge
2 Winch drum

− Check each individual groove on the winch drum.


F If the test template fits easily into each groove, the diameter of the measuring device more or less
coincides with the groove base. If the diameter of the grooves on the winch drum is 4 − 8 % larger than
the diameter of the measuring device, the test is OK and no further action is required.

. TROUBLESHOOTING !
If the diameter of the test gauge does not coincide with the winch drum groove base, or a crescent−
shaped gap is visible between the test template and the groove base:
The rope has become thinner through use over time and must be withdrawn from service. Before
using a new rope, the worn grooves must be machined to ensure that the groove base returns to
specification.

F Inform LIEBHERR Customer Service and seek advice on the precise action to be taken.

MAINTENANCE

. NOTE !
The grooves of the winch drum often become patterned as a result of marks on the rope. When
changing the rope, smooth the surface of the grooves.

If installed, check the winch drum contact rollers

Make sure that the following requirements are met:


F The engine has been switched off and secured against unauthorized starting
F Check the contact rollers for wear
F If the contact roller is evenly worn and does not show any extreme grooving, etc., the result is OK and
no further action is required.

. TROUBLESHOOTING !
If the contact roller is unevenly worn or is affecting the rope in the rope guide to a significant extent:
F The rope drive cannot function correctly, replace the contact roller.

Checking for wear and, if necessary, replacing steel rope pulleys

The steel rope pulleys are checked in exactly the same way as the winch drum groove base, in other
words the radius of the grooves is checked using a test template.

. NOTE !
The rope grooves often become patterned as a result of marks in the rope. The impressions of the
individual braids in the rope grooves are normal and not undesirable, since these produce a greater
rope supporting surface which increases the service life of the rope. When the rope is changed, the
ridges must be removed and any sharp edges on the surface of the rope pulley smoothed.

Make sure that the following requirements are met:


F The engine has been switched off and secured against unauthorized starting
F A suitable test template is available
− Use the test template to check the grooves in the rope pulleys
− If the radius of the grooves is 4% larger than the half rope diameter, the result is OK and no further
action is required.

. TROUBLESHOOTING !
If the tolerance is exceeded, in other words the radius of the grooves is greater than the rope
diameter by more than 4%:
F Replace the rope pulley.

F Contact LIEBHERR Customer Service.

Lubricating rope pulley bearings

Rope pulleys must turn easily to provide optimum rope drive. If rope pulleys are not lubricated by the cen
tral lubrication system, the rope pulley bearings must be lubricated manually using a grease gun.

Make sure that the following requirements are met:


F The engine has been switched off and secured against unauthorized starting
F A lever−type grease gun filled with the appropriate grease type as stated on the lubrication chart is
available
F The boom is lowered

Manually lubricating rope pulleys:


F Use the grease gun to lubricate the grease nipples on the rope sheave bearings on the tower head.
F Use the grease gun to lubricate the grease nipples on the rope sheave bearings on the boom head.

. NOTE !
The grease must not leak from between the rope pulleys.

Cleaning plastic rope pulleys

When in use, plastic rope pulleys in particular can become very dirty, resulting in excessive wear. It is
therefore important to clean gum, etc. off plastic rope pulleys.

. NOTE !
Only clean plastic rope pulleys with suitable cleaning agents.

Plastic rope pulleys are resistant to:


− Mineral oil
− Petrol
− Kerosene
− Diesel

Plastic rope pulleys are not resistant or not fully resistant to:
− concentrated mineral acids (e.g. sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid)
− concentrated organic acids (e.g. formic acid)
− concentrated bases (e.g. sodium, caustic potash solution or corrosive potassium salts)
− alcohol apart from ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol and propyl alcohol
− inorganic chlorides, e.g. calcium, lithium chloride, magnesium chloride and zinc chloride

7.16. CHECKING HYDRAULIC LINES AND HOSES

CAUTION !
Pressurized oil can cause body injuries or fires.
− Hydraulic lines, hoses and fittings may never be repaired any damaged sections
must be replaced immediately.
− Use only original spare parts according to manufacturers specification.
− For replacement to the units we recommend that you acquire the necessary knowledge first or you
ask for assistance / advise from your local Liebherr customer service.

Even when hoses and lines are installed, stored and used according to specification they undergo a natural
aging process. For that reason, their service life is limited.
Improper storage, mechanical damage and improper use are the most frequent causes of hose fractures.

. NOTE !
We suggest that the service life of a hydraulic hose shouldn’t exceed 6 years, from the date of the
Liebherr label date on the hose connection. Additionally check the manufactures date on the hose.
The date between the manufactures date and the date of the Liebherr label should not exceed 2
years.

7.16.1. INDICATION OF HOSES

Using hoses and lines close to the permitted working limit can shorten the service life (for example at high
temperatures, frequent working cycles, extreme high impulse frequencies, multi shift operation or round the
clock operations).

7.16.2. REPLACEMENT AND INSPECTION OF HOSES

Hoses and lines must be replaced if any of the following points are found during an inspection:
l Damage on the external layer into the inner layer (such as chaffing, cuts and rips).
l Brittleness of the outer layer (crack formation of the hose material).
l Changes in shape, which differ from the natural shape of the hose or line, when under pressure or when
not pressurized, or in bends and curves − such as separation of layers, blister or bubble formation.
l Leakages
l Non observance of installation requirements.
l Damage or deformation of hose fittings, which might reduce the strengths of the fitting or the
connection between hose and fitting.
l Any movement of the hose away from the fitting.
l Corrosion on fittings, which might reduce the function or the strength of the fitting.
l Storage or service life has been exceeded.

. NOTE !
To avoid excessive leaks a vacuum−pump could be connected to the hydraulic oil tank.
Route or install the hoses and lines properly, do not mix up connections!

DISPOSAL !
Used materials must be properly disposed of in accordance with the relevant state regulations !
