2.4 Preparation for Emergency Control, Superstructure
On each side of the chassis (between axles 2 / 3), there are 3 hy-
draulic connections:
1 Connection T
chassis
(tank)
2 Connection L
chassis
(leakage)
3 Connection P
chassis
(pressure oil)
If the superstructure power units break down, a hydraulic trans-
former can be connected at these points, which enables limited
superstructure functions.
For exact details, see the operating instructions of the super-
structure, section 36.
The hydraulic connections 1 3 may only be used with a hy-
draulic transformer.
A direct connection to the superstructure hydraulic system
is not permitted as there is no capacity for this in the oil tank.

2.5 Additional fuel tank (additional tank 300 l / 80 US
gal) in the crane chassis (optional)
The vehicles tank capacity (500 l / 132 US gallons) can be in-
creased by 300 litres (80 US gallons) with an auxiliary fuel tank
(additional tank).
The additional tank is located in the frame area of the chassis, be-
neath the cover. It is filled independently of the normal fuel tank
(1) = main tank via its own filler neck (2) near axle 4 (righthand
side of vehicle). The same type of fuel (diesel) is added to the
additional tank as to the main tank.
Changeover
The contents of the additional tank can be moved to the main tank
(1) using an electric supply pump via a fixed installation line.
When moving fuel while the crane is being driven it must be en-
sured that the changeover is carried out in good time, to avoid the
crane stalling due to a lack of fuel.
The electric supply pump is switched on/off using the dual button
(97) in the dashboard of the chassis cab.
Press dual button (97B) = start changeover.
Press dual button (97A) = end changeover.
Press and hold dual button (97A) = switch over fuel gauge (51)
from main tank to additional tank.
The levels in both tanks are monitored during the changeover by
means of level switches.
A changeover of fuel is only possible if the levels in the giving and
taking tank permit it (additional tank filled above minimum; main
tank ready).
The changeover must always be started manually and can also
be ended manually at any time.
It is automatically ended when a certain minimum level is ex-
ceeded in the additional tank (protects the supply pump from run-
ning dry) or the maximum level is reached in the main tank (over-
load protection).
Exact instructions for filling/changing tanks can be found in part
4 (lubricating/ maintenance instructions), section 15.

2.6 Separate fuel tank (extra tank 300 l / 80 USgal) in
the chassis for superstructure operation (optional)
A separate fuel tank (extra tank 300 l / 80 US gal) can be fitted
for fuel supply of the superstructure engine. It is not linked to the
fuel system of the chassis.
The extra tank is located in the frame area of the chassis, be-
neath the cover. It is filled, independently of the normal fuel tank
(1) = main tank, via its own filler neck (2) near axle 4 (righthand
side of the vehicle).
Changeover
The content of the extra tank is automatically fed to the super-
structure tank via a fixed line/rotary joint, by means of an electric
supply pump.
The levels in both tanks are monitored during the changeover by
means of level switches.
The changeover begins when a certain lower level is reached in
the superstructure tank.
It is ended when the level in the extra tank falls below a certain
point (protects the supply pump against running dry) or when the
maximum level is reached in the superstructure tank (overflow
protection).
The capacity in the extra tank is displayed in the superstructure
cab on instrument (5).
Exact instructions for filling/changing tanks can be found in part
4 (lubricating/ maintenance instructions), section 15.

4.3 Driver Information System
(Z 200 144)
The operators platform is equipped with a driver information sys-
tem. This provides the driver with important information on the ve-
hicle when it is in driving mode.
The driver information system consists of the instrument panel
with the items (31) (58) and the function buttons (60) (67) on
the steering wheel.
The Driver information system (43) display is in the middle of the
instrument panel.
To the left of the instrument panel, there is another display Trans-
mission information (75) which displays the transmission func-
tions(gear display / error messages).
Selftest
The electrical system performs a selftest when the ignition is
switched on. In this case, a control signal goes off once and all
indicator lights, (33) (40) and (50.1), are briefly illuminated.
The CH display appears on the Transmission information (75)
display.
Function buttons on the steering wheel
The function buttons (60) (67) are used to navigate around the
menu structure of the drivers information system.
Using the digit keys (61) (66), you can select between the
various menus 16. At the same time, the digits correspond to the
buttons of the segment numbering on the Driver information sys-
tem (43) display.
The Arrow key, (60) can be used to exit the current menu item
and return to the previous display.
Using the M key, (67)
you call up the main menu and
return to the basic display Indicator lights from the various
menu points.

The indicator lights displayed in these fields are arranged from
left to right according to their priority. The indicator light having the
top priority is placed in the upper left corner. With this priority al-
location, a change from the current message to a new message
with greater priority can take place automatically, if necessary.
The brightness of the display can be changed with the but-
ton (57).

lights always appears after the company logo and control sig-
nal. (Z 200 147)
In the basic display, the selected functions that are activated by
the corresponding switch settings are shown as symbols; e.g. dif-
ferential lock, offroad gear.
The display of the selected functions or subsequently occurring
malfunction / warning messages have different colours.
The colours are used as indicators for the influence of the mes-
sages on the operation/traffic safety of the vehicle and determine
the order of the displayed indicator lights (from upper left to lower
right) depending on their (colour) priority. The colours have the
following meanings:
DANGER!
Danger of injuries to persons and / or material damage dur-
ing an attempt by nonqualified personnel to eliminate er-
rors.
As soon as an error is displayed:

Do not jump out of the drivers cab.
DANGER!
There is a risk of injuries due to slipping.
Safety is diminished on the steps and at the entry areas due
to dirt and mud. This means you can slip on the steps.
Keep steps, entry areas and shoes clean of contamination
(for example:mud, clay, snow and ice).
DANGER!
Risk of accidents due to unauthorised use of the crane.
Children or unauthorised persons could cause danger to
themselves and others by releasing the retaining brake,
starting the engine and / or setting the vehicle in operation,
for example.
Even when leaving the vehicle for a short period of time, re-
move the key from the ignition and lock the door with the
vehicle key.

The vehicle is equipped with automatic electric windows.
Risk of injuries from becoming trapped!
Take extra care when closing the windows. in case you
get caught, the system does not have an automatic auto
reversal / switch off for the closing motion; i.e. the win-
dow panel presses with all its strength upwards until the
Open window command is given.
The windows may only be closed when the operator has
a clear view of the windows and is sure that noone
could become trapped in the closing window.
Only the vehicle driver may activate the electrical win-
dow opener; other passengers are to be warned of the
danger by the vehicle driver.
Risk to life and limb, in particular with children!
To avoid someone becoming trapped as a result of incor-
rect use, the vehicle operator may only leave the cab
when he has removed the ignition key from the ignition
lock.

Automatic safety belt winder operation
The automatic safety belt winder for the safety belt locks the belt
pullout during vehicle deceleration in all directions and when
pulling down on the belt quickly.
Checking for correct operation
To check the locking function of the retractor, pull the belt out with
a quick jerk.
Fasten your safety belt before driving
All safety belts are only to be used for one person.
Threepoint seat belts are not for people shorter than
150 cm (4.9 ft). These people require special equipment
for protection in the case of an accident (because safety
belt were no correctly fastened).
Avoid seat positions that interfere with the correct
course of the safety belt. Set the backrest to almost 90 .
Your back should touch the backrest. The belt must run
across the middle of your shoulder. Safety belts that
have been placed under heavy strain during an accident
must be replaced. Have belt anchors checked by a spe-
cialist workshop.
Replace damaged safety belts.
Belts may not run across sharp edges.
No changes may be made to the safety belts.

4.10 Hinged Bed (Optional)
(Z 104 320, Z 104 321, Z 104 322, Z 104 323)
If your crane is equipped with a hinged bed (1) in the crane opera-
tors cab, observe the following points:
During driving, the hinged bed (1) must be folded up and
secured with a rubber strap (2).
The hinged bed (1) may only be folded down from the pas-
senger side, as there is not enough space on the drivers
side.
The weight of the hinged bed is approx. 21 kg (approx. 46 lbs).
4.10.1 Procedure for Folding the Bed down
1. Hold the hinged bed (1) and release the rubber strap (2).
Risk of crushing!
When folding the hinged bed down there is a risk of
crushing between the dashboard and bed frame.
2. Carefully fold the hinged bed (1) down (direction of arrow a)
until it is resting on the dashboard.
Fold the hinged bed down carefully so that the dashboard is
not damaged (Z 104 320).
3. Raise the hinged bed (1) slightly and hang from the ceiling
of the operators cab using the middle chain (3) (Z 104 321).
4. Unfold the hinged component on the passenger side in the
direction of arrow b and attach with chain (4) (Z 104 322,
Z 104 323).
5. Now unfold the second component on the passenger side in
the direction of arrow c and attach it with chain (5) as well
(Z 104 322, Z 104 323).

Damageprevention measures
The following safety measures must be observed, in order
to avoid injury to persons and damage to the engine, com-
ponents or cables.
Only start the engine when the batteries are properly
connected. Never disconnect the batteries when the engine
is running.
Only start the engine with the speed sensor fitted.
Do not use a highspeed charger to start the engine.
Jump starting only permitted with separate batteries.
For highspeed charging of the batteries, the battery clamps
must be removed. Follow the operating instructions for the
highspeed charger.
In case of electric welding work, the batteries must be
disconnected and the two cables + and connected firmly
together.
The connections of the control devices may only be fitted and
removed when the electrical system is switched off.
Reversal of the polarity for the supply voltage of the control
devices (e.g. reversal of the battery poles) can lead to the
control devices being destroyed.
Tighten the plug connections on the injection system to the
prescribed torque.
Remove the control units if temperatures exceed 80C /
176F (foundry furnace).
Use only suitable test cables for taking measurements on
plug connections (MercedesBenz connector set).
Telephones and radios that are not connected to an outside
antenna can lead to malfunctions on the vehicle electronics
and can thus endanger the operational reliability of the
engine.
Before commissioning, make sure that you have read the
operating instructions of the engine manufacturer. These
can be found in section 5 of these documents.
The following information is limited to the factors that
directly affect the crane.

5.1 Before Starting the Engine
1. Follow the instructions in the operating manual of the engine
manufacturer (appendix in part 5 of this service literature).
2. Checking Before Starting Up:
Fuel supply (display 51)
Hydraulic oil level (example Z 51 911)
To avoid damage to the travelling hydraulic pumps, the engine
may no longer be started with normal hydraulic oil filling (ATF
Type A Suffix A) at temperatures under 25 C (13 F).
Engine oil level (Z 51 329)
Coolant level (Z 51 929):
The cooling system is filled correctly if the coolant level
reaches the marked line in the filler neck.
Parking brake (14) closed
Rotary switch (13) to N (Z 51 346)
Quick stop device (optional); may not be actuated.

5.2 Starting Aid with External Batteries
(Z 200 336)
If the batteries are weak, the chassis engine can be started with
the aid of batteries from the superstructure engine and vice
versa.
In contrast to the specifications given in the separate engine
operating instructions (Part 5), no thirdparty starting aid cables
are used to jump the batteries.
Two cable couplings (consisting of 1 plug and socket each) are
attached to the chassis, on the right side (in the storage box
beneath the outrigger controls). The same connections can be
found in the engine area on the superstructure. At the same time,
Minus (ground) is always installed on the plugs (1A/1B) and
Plus is always installed on the sockets (2A/2B).
Both loose starting aid cables (3, 4) (cable cross section 95 mm
2
/ 0.15 in
2
) included in delivery can be connected at these points;
in which due to the different forms of the connection parts it
is not possible to transpose the polarity.
Other crane vehicles that are equipped with these connections
from our product program can also be used as a starting aid.
We do not recommend other forms of starting aid.
Risk of injury/explosion!
When using the starting aid, do not bend over the batter-
ies.
Do not smoke in the vicinity of the batteries;
Avoid causing sparks and open flames.
A discharged battery can freeze at 10C (14F). It must
be thawed before using the starting aid.

To not use a starting aid with defective batteries.
Be sure that the voltage (24 V) is the same for the flat and
the booster battery.
Only use a starting aid with original starting aid cable.
In no case should you use a boost charger. (Damage to
electronic parts)
Before using the starting aid, separate mobile
communication systems from the electrical system.
Be sure that plugs / sockets do not come into contact
with the metal parts of the device (risk of short circuit).
Handling steps for starting aid with special cable:
1. Switch off ignition in the superstructure and chassis.
2. Connect the starting aid special cable to the cable couplings.
(connect and tighten with a short turn to the right.)
First connect the plus pole (cable 4) and then the minus pole
(cable 3).
3. Start the engine rendering assistance; let it rev up.
4. Engine receiving assistance:
Turn key to the start position in the ignitionstarter switch.
Start the engine and let it run at idle speed.
5. Remove the cable, first from Minus (cable 3) and then from
Plus (cable 4).

5.4 Starting Procedure (Engine Start)
Never start the engine without the batteries connected
properly.
The engine can either be started in the drivers cab or on the
outrigger controls (external start).
After the motor has been started, the steering performs a
selftest (see operating instructions of the crane chassis
section 9 Steering selftest).
Risk of crushing!
The wheels can move back and forth independently dur-
ing the steering selftest. Noone may be in the wheel
area.
5.4.1 Starting the Engine in the Drivers Cab
1. Insert the key into the latch contact (15) and turn (to the right)
to the driving position (position 3).
The electrical system performs a selftest when the ignition is
switched on; the most important signal connections to the
instrument panel are checked. At the same time, a control signal
sounds twice and all indicator lights (3140 and 50.1) flash.
The function control is ended after the control signals go out.
Activated indicator lights may light up on the instrument panel;
e.g. item39 Parking brake.
The CH display appears on the (transmission information)
display (75).
The basic display Indicator lights appears on the driver
information display (43). The selected functions or existing
malfunctions are shown.
For further notes, see section 4 Driver information system.

2. Start the engine
After the indicator signal goes out: Turn the key on as far as
possible (position 4) and start the engine, without operating
the accelerator pedal.
If required, interrupt the starting procedure after no more than
20 seconds and repeat after approx. 1 minute.
Before attempting to start the engine again, turn the key back to
the first stop.
Release the key after the engine has started.
3. If the engine fails to start after the third attempt: Search for
the cause of the fault with the help of the operating
instructions of the engine manufacturer.
5.4.2 Starting the Engine at the Outrigger Controls
(External Engine Start)
(Z 51 304, Z 47 962, Z 60 982)
1. Insert the key in the latch contact (15) (position 2).
2. Press the Caution key (10/20) for approx. 5 secs. (ignition
on, Boot data bus).
3. Press and hold the Caution key (10/20) and also press the
engine start key (7B/17B).
4. After the engine has started release both buttons.
When the outriggers are activated, an engine speed of 1200
min
1
(rpm) is automatically set.
When the engine is started on the outrigger controls the
warning displays are not in the operators line of view. It is
therefore important to listen for acoustic warning signals
(buzzer).

5.5 After Starting the Engine
(Z 51 328, Z 62 762)
Never disconnect the battery terminals when the engine is
running.
Keep your eye on the engine oil pressure!
If the oil pressure is too low, the B12 indicator light will
appear on the driver information display. At the same time,
the STOP indicator light (35) will light up on the instrument
panel, and an acoustic warning signal (buzzer) will be
emitted.
When the Oil pressure warning (B12) is shown, the
operating safety of the engine is in danger.
Stop the vehicle immediately and switch off the engine.
Determine the cause of the fault!
Do not leave the engine running at a standstill to warm it up.
Only operate the engine at full speed/full load once the
prescribed operating temperature has been reached.
If indicator light (B18) lights up, service the air filter.
If the indicator light (B7) lights up, service the hydraulic oil
filter (see lubricating and maintenance instructions of
chassis).
This only applies when the hydraulic oil is at operating
temperature.
At lower temperatures, it is possible that this lamp does not go out
for a short period, even though no fault is present.
Switch the engine off immediately in the case of:
falling or heavily fluctuating oil pressure
falling output/rpm in spite of constant operating
conditions
heavily smoking exhaust
excessively high coolant and oil temperature
sudden abnormal engine noises.

5.6 Before Switching Off the Engine
Leave the engine running at idle speed for approx. 12 minutes
before switching off:
when the coolant temperature is high (above 95 C /
203 F);
after driving at full engine power (e.g. after driving on a slope),
to allow the exhaust turbocharger to cool down.
5.7 Switching Off (Engine Stop) in Normal Circumstances
(Z 51 304, Z 47 962, Z 60 982)
The engine can be switched off both in the drivers cab and on the
outrigger controls.
When the ignition is off the transmission automatically switches
to neutral.
When leaving the crane, remove the ignition key and close
off the cab.
5.7.1 Switching off the Engine in the Drivers Cab
In the drivers cab the engine is switched off with the ignition
switch (15).
The following condition ensures when the engine is started:
If the engine is started in the drivers cab:Turn the
ignitionstarter switch (15) from driving position (position 3)
to position 2.
When the engine is started on the outrigger control:Turn
the ignitionstarter switch (15) from position 2 to position
1.
5.7.2 Switching Off the Engine on the Outrigger Control
The engine is switched off on the outrigger control by pressing
button (7A/17A).
At the same time, this results in the following interaction with the

5.8 Switching Off the Engine in an Emergency
5.8.1 Switching Off Procedure Quick Stop (Optional
Equipment)
(Z 47 991, Z 51 326)
On the chassis, the engines of the superstructure and chassis
can be switched off together at two central points. A mushroom
pushbutton is located on the left and righthand side of the
crane near the outrigger controls for this purpose. (Example Z 47
991)
Press the knob to activate the quick stop device. Once it has been
activated, the mushroom pushbutton must be released again
before an attempt is made to restart the crane (turn and unlock).
The quick stop device only functions when the handbrake is
applied and the gear is in neutral.
After the quick stop device has been activated the indicating light
(A20) lights up until the Locked position is released again.
5.8.2 Quick Stop with Air Shutoff Valve
(Z 47 992, example)
Using a trap between the air filter and engine the air flow is cut
off when the device is actuated.
Independently of manual activation, the quick stop device is
automatically activated when a certain speed is exceeded
(approximately 2700 U/min / rpm). At the same time the fuel
supply is interrupted. The engine is switched off.
Before the engine is restarted the trap (1) must be manually
released. Return lever (2) to the starting position.
Risk of damage!
When the trap is closed the engine cannot be started.
Repeated starting attempts lead to engine damage.
Before the restart, all aircarrying hoses incl. the charge
air hoses between the engine and aftercooler must be
checked to ensure that they are fitted correctly and are
completely free of blockages.

5.9.5 Monitoring the Engine
5.9.5.1 Fault Display
All faults in the engine system and the engine electronic system
are collected. If a fault occurs, this is shown by the indicator light
(B15).
Regardless of this general detection/display, certain faults are
shown directly by their own indicator lights (with the
corresponding symbol).
At the same time, the indicator light (35) STOP or Caution (36)
will light up on the instrument panel; in some cases, an acoustic
warning signal (buzzer) will also sound.
When there is a malfunction/warning display and at the same
time the red warning light STOP (35) lights up, the
operational safety of the engine is in danger. Stop the vehicle
immediately and remedy the fault.
Speed monitor
(50.1) LED, red
When lit up: The engine speed is exceeding 2350
U/min (rpm) (excessive engine speed).
Be sure that the engine does not exceed the permissible
speed range.
At an engine speed of 2300 U/min (rpm), the exhaust brake is
deactivated to protect the engine mechanic against damage.
Engine faults (engine system/electronic system)
(B15) Indicating light, red
When the fault indicator lights up read off the fault
code.
All faults are stored in the system and can be read off as fault
codes. Faults which are only displayed temporarily are also
stored.

Coolant level
(B11) Indicating light, red
The warning Coolant level (B11) is displayed if the
coolant level in the compensation tank has sunk by
approx. 2 l (0.5 gal) under the norm. At the same time,
the alarm buzzer will also sound.
Switch off the engine immediately and determine the
cause of the fault.
Oil pressure
(B12) Indicating light, red
The Oil pressure warning is displayed when while
the engine is running the oil pressure is too low in the
engine (= depending on the speed).
At the same time if the level continues to fall the
alarm buzzer sounds.
Switch off the engine immediately and determine the
cause of the fault.
Coolant temperature
(B13) Indicating light, red
The warning Coolant temperature (B13) is displayed if
a coolant temperature of 104 C (219 F) is reached
during driving. Even the alarm buzzer sounds at 110 C
(230 F) and the engine performance reduces automatically.
The engine can still be used. however, the cause must be de-
termined.
Oil level
(B14) Indicating light, red
The Oil level warning (B14) is displayed when the oil
level in the engine has sunk considerably under the
minimum amount. At the same time, the alarm buzzer
will also sound.
Switch off the engine immediately and determine the
cause of the fault.
This display serves only as additional information.
Monitoring of the oil level is not to be performed except with
the dipstick.
Depending on the version, it may turn out that this display
function is not possible because of technical reasons.

5.9.6 Reading Off the Fault Memory
When warning light (B15) lights up, the system has recognised
a fault.
The fault codes can be read off with the Minidiag 2
(MercedesBenz) diagnosis device. This is usually done by our
customer service or in a DAIMLERCHRYSLER AG workshop.
Action steps for error diagnosis:
Switch off the engine.
Connect the diagnosis device to the diagnosis socket
(14pole; in the control box X 300 in the drivers cab).
(Z 47 966)
Switch on the ignition.
Do not start the engine.
When the engine is running fault codes cannot be deleted. If no
fault codes are displayed, check the fuse and grounding of the
diagnosis socket.
Call up the menu for reading the fault codes from the control
unit.
Call up the fault codes.
A description of all fault codes can be found in the separate
operating instructions of the engine manufacturer (see part 5 in
this service literature).

5.9.7 Evaluation of the Displayed Faults
The error code has five digits; the first digit indicates the fault
group (0, 1 or 2). Depending on which fault group is displayed,
you should proceed as follows:
Fault group 0
The fault code is stored, but only displayed when the diagnosis
instrument is connected.
The fault can, if required, be rectified during the next service.
The engine can still be used.
Fault group 1
The fault must be rectified as soon as possible.
Risk of accidents! You must reckon with altered running
characteristics of the engine.
Fault group 2
The fault must be rectified immediately.
Risk of accidents! The running characteristics of the en-
gine are different (emergency running programme).

6 Driving the Crane
6.1 Instructions for all Types of Driving
All the control and monitoring elements required for driving the
crane are located in the drivers cab of the crane chassis.
The pedals freedom of movement must not be restricted. Be
sure that there is enough room for the pedals when using
foot mats and carpets. Do not store any objects in the dri-
vers foot area. Store or secure all loose objects (e.g. tins,
bottles, tools, bags, etc.) in such a way that they cannot enter
the foot area while driving. Such objects could get under the
brake pedal, block it and thereby make it impossible to brake
the crane vehicle.
6.2 Checks Before Driving the Crane
Check the capacities for all fuels and lubricants see lubricating
and maintenance instructions for the crane chassis (part 4).
The following checks must be made every time before the crane
is driven, even when only driving short stretches.
Driving condition of the mobile crane:
Check axle loads; observe instructions (see under axle
loads / speeds / tyres and defined driving conditions)
Check transport position of struts and outrigger plates (see
section 12)
Check the engine oil level, add extra oil if required.
Check the hydraulic oil level.
If there is fault: Determine cause only fill up afterwards.
Wait until the hydraulic oil has warmed up before running the en-
gine at speeds of over n=1600 min
1
.
Check the oil level in the transmission, add extra oil if requi-
red.
Check the coolant level.
If there is fault: Determine cause only fill up afterwards.

Check the steering.
The indicator lights (B8, B9 and B10) must not light up as
a rule. (Z 51 300)
Depending on the system, in case of the fault No throughfeed
at the emergency steering pump (indicator light B10), there is a
display only once driving speeds > approx. 8 km/h (5 mph) have
been reached.
Driving the crane with defective steering constitutes a major
safety hazard. Faults must be rectified before the crane is
driven.

Emergency pressure supply in brake circuit 1 and 2:
Driver information display, submenu 4.4:
Pressure supply is displayed.
Upper row = braking circuit 1
Lower row = braking circuit 2
Driver information display, basic display:
Red indicator light, if pressure supply is below 5.5 bar
(80 psi).
Indicator light (B3) = braking circuit 1
Indicator light (B4) = braking circuit 2
Retaining brake: indicator light (39) if retaining brake is ap-
plied.
If the emergency pressure supply is below 7 bar (102 psi), the air
tanks of the braking system must be topped up at medium revs
until a pressure of 8 bar (116 psi) is reached.
Air pressure of at least 6.2 bar (90 psi) is needed to switch gears.
It is not possible to shift gears below this mark.
Immediately after starting to drive, test the brakes on a dry,
antiskid road surface (service and parking brake). At the
same time be sure that the crane vehicle brakes evenly, does
not deviate to the side and that a faultless brake delay is
achieved.
There must be no oil or water in the brake linings. If water has
permeated into the brake lining, lightly brake with the ser-
vice brake until the brakes are again fully functional.
Check steering wheel/driver seat setting
Exact instructions on the steering wheel / drivers seat settings
are in section 4 Drivers cab.
Vehicle lighting; check flashing lights and brake lights

Check the suspension system.
If a suspension circuit is outside the road travel level, the indi-
cator light (B1) on the drivers information display lights up.
The exact level of individual suspension circuits can be ob-
served in submenu 4.1.
All suspension cylinders must be in the road travel position
(green range);
When driving on the road the suspension must be in the 4way
system and it must not be locked. (Switch 99, 100 in the off posi-
tion, no displays A11, A12).
Check the fuel level, fill up if required.
The fuel supply is displayed on the instrument panel with in-
strument (51). If the fuel level is in the reserve range, indicator
light (B19) lights up.
Do not fill up with fuel while the engine is running!
Other important specifications are outlined in the individual sec-
tions.
Check the function of the vehicle lighting, warning and brake
lights and make sure that they are clean. Replace any defective
bulbs.
Check the tyre condition and air pressure. The air pressure has
a large influence on:
The handling of the vehicle
The running characteristics of the tyres
Tyre damage is inevitable if tyre pressure is too low.
It is therefore essential to apply the correct air pressure.

6.3 Transport Safety Locks
During transportation, the safety locks provided must be applied.
Following driving and before the superstructure is placed in ope-
ration, the safety locks must be removed again.
When driving with the hook block reeved, it must be fastened
to the front coupling ring of the crane chassis. (Z 36 570)
When driving without a hook block, the hoist rope is secured
with the rope socket on the front coupling ring of the crane
chassis. (Z 36 571)
Apply mechanical superstructure locking device.
(see section 4 of the operating instructions for the superstruc-
ture)
The platform on the superstructure cab must be pushed into-
transport position (switch actuation; see section 4 of the ope-
rating instructions for the superstructure)
If the reeved hook block is set down on the crane chassis
when the crane is driven, it must be inserted in the holding de-
vices provided (optional equipment) and must be secured ac-
cordingly. (Example Z 35 568)
The rope must be guided over the corresponding rope confi-
gurations on the chassis cab and chassis frame.
Outrigger struts pinned / locked in the transport position.

6.4 Axle Loads / Speeds / Tyres
The permitted driving speed is dependent on the axle load and
the tyres. There is a direct correlation between the axle load, tyre
size and permitted speed.
With the axle loads we differentiate between the technically
possible loads and those permitted by road traffic regula-
tions.
All chassis parts / components are designed and approved ex
works for even axle loads of 12 t (26.4 kip) per axle.
Axle loads above and below 12 t (26.4 kip) represent a deviation
from the documented EEC approved condition.
Uneven or excessively high axle loads negatively affects the
handling of the crane in any case. Lower axle loads also have a
negative effect.
Deviation from the approved condition always means worse
handling characteristics. The larger the deviations, the
worse the crane handles.
The limitations that must be observed as a result are corres-
pondingly larger.
Observe the relevant instructions in the following subsec-
tions.
Before driving in public traffic the driver must be fully con-
versant with the altered driving/steering/braking behaviour
(e.g. longer braking distances) of the crane especially
where the driving condition of the crane deviates from the
standard configuration.

6.4.1 Possible Axle Loads / Permitted Speeds
Pay attention to the relation between the axle loads, the driving
speed and the tyres fitted as shown in the following table.
The determining factor is the axle that is placed under the highest
load.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS due to overloading of tyres!
The maximum permitted speed for the actual axle load
must be observed at all times.
Failure to observe these instructions can result in the ty-
res being overloaded and bursting.

6.4.2 Driving with Uneven Axle Loads
Uneven axle loads have a negative effect on the handling of the
crane.
The braking system is designed for even axle loads of 12 t
(26.4 kip) in accordance with EC guidelines and German
road traffic regulations.
Different axle loads at the front and rear represent a devia-
tion from the approved crane configuration. The vehicle
handling will deteriorate to a greater or lesser degree, de-
pending on the amount of deviation!
The larger the differences, the more serious the deteriora-
tion. Drive with appropriate caution and reduce the driving
speed; if necessary, walking speed must be maintained.
React to poor road conditions by further reducing the driving
speed.
Axle load ratios, heaviest axle : lightest axle > 2 : 1 are not
allowed as they cannot be properly handled from a driving
perspective.
Any driving conditions that deviate from these must be listed
under declared driving conditions or require express per-
mission from case to case.
In the case of uneven axle loads, the steering can be locally
overloaded. This can result in damage to the steering.
Caution when braking!
Apply force evenly when braking. Sudden and abrupt ap-
plication of the brake pedal can cause the wheels to lock;
the vehicle could career out of control.
Caution when steering!
When driving through curves, the vehicle tends towards
the straightahead steering position.

6.4.3 Driving with Reduced Axle Loads
Reduced axle loads have a negative affect on the handling of the
vehicle.
Braking:
Risk of accidents!
The braking system is designed and approved for axle
loads of 12 t (26.4 kip). At lower axle loads, the crane is
overbraked.
Vehicles without ABS:
Abrupt use of the brake pedal could cause all the wheels
to lock suddenly. The lower the axle loads, the greater
the risk of the axles locking.
Use the brakes therefore with care, as appropriate to the
situation!
Vehicles with ABS:
The braking effect becomes less satisfactory.
Steering:
Risk of accidents!
The steering behaviour is changed.
The steering system is lighter and reacts more quickly
when axle loads are reduced. It becomes less smooth.
Risk of damage!
There is a risk of damage to the steering components; e.g.
as a result of external resistance at the wheels.
Suspension system:
Risk of accidents!
The standardequipped suspension system is designed
for axle loads of 12 t (26.4 kip). The suspension becomes
harder with lower axle loads. When axle loads are less
than 7 t (15.4 kip), the crane behaves as though the sus-
pension were blocked. The crane may begin to skid.
6
140_2060_237a_en 26/143
Driving the Crane 6
140_2060_237a_en 27/143
There is a way to adjust the suspension system permanently to
the reduced axle loads. The preload pressure of the accumula-
tors must be adapted for this purpose. If this option is available
for your equipment, then you will find corresponding information
on the hydraulic circuit diagram or in the respective Lubrication
and Maintenance Instructions in the Hydraulics system section.
If no information concerning this is available, then corresponding
values are obtainable upon request.
Risk of accidents!
If the crane is to be moved again with axle loads of 12 t
(26.4 kip), then the preliminary tension of the suspension
accumulator must be modified again accordingly.
If the crane is driven alternately with 2 axle load statuses, then
the crane can be optionally equipped for switch actuation to
change the suspension back and forth between the 12 t
(26.4 kip) axis load configuration and the axis load configuration
with reduced axle loads.
A corresponding switch is then located in the drivers cab.
Additional information on this topic can be found then in sec-
tion 11 Hydraulic suspension.
Behaviour of the driver with reduced axle loads:
Risk of accidents! Risk of skidding!
If the preload pressure of the accumulators of the sus-
pension system is not reduced, then the maximum dri-
ving speed must be reduced. The lower the axle load, the
slower the driving speed must be. For axle loads of less
than 8 t (17.7 kip), the permitted maximum speed is still
no more than 30 km/h (18 mph). The maximum speed
must be reduced even further with additional axle load
reduction and/or poor road conditions.
Risk of accidents! Risk of skidding!
For vehicles without ABS:
If the charging pressure of the accumulators of the sus-
pension system is reduced (manually or with switcho-
ver), then the maximum driving speed must be reduced
to 50 km/h (31 mph).

6.4.4 Driving with axle loads exceeding 12 t (26.4 kip)
Driving with axle loads of more than 12 t (26.4 kip) is always
an exceptional condition and is only permitted for short
stretches.
Drive extremely carefully and reduce your maximum driving
speed.
The correlation between the technically possible axle loads
and the maximum driving speed should be observed.
All travelling gear parts / components were designed in the fac-
tory for axle loads of 12 t (26.4 kip) and approved (approved con-
dition see Driving with an overall weight of 60 t (132.3 kip).
Axle loads of 12.5 t (27.6 kip) mean that the approved crane con-
dition has already been exceeded.
Axle loads exceeding 12 t (26.4 kip) mean:
Higher loads.
Overloading of tyres (for certain sizes).
Extended braking distances / risk of fading.
Increased loads
Axle loads of more than 12 t (26.4 kip) lead to increased loads on
the steering, axle suspension, axles, wheel hubs, bearings, sus-
pension system, suspension cylinders, brakes, wheels and tyres.
This means a considerable reduction in the life expectancy and
service life for the affected components.
Wear on brake linings is particularly increased. There is a risk of
overheating (fading).
Loading / overloading of tyres
Sudden loads (e.g. driving against kerbs), bead damage or cut-
ting damage must be avoided under these more exacting opera-
ting conditions.
Damage to a tyre can result from the combination of overloading
and / or increased speed. Damage does not necessarily have to
follow a handling error. These add up over time and can result in
more serious damage following a relatively minor incident.

Driving the Crane 6
140_2060_237a_en 31/143
RISK OF ACCIDENTS when tyres are damaged!
Damage to tyres must be rectified by professionals.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS due to overloading of tyres!
You must observe the highest possible maximum speed
for the actual axle load (see section 6, Possible axle
loads / permitted speeds. Failure to observe these in-
structions can result in the tyres being overloaded and
bursting.
Extended braking distances / risk of fading
The braking system for this vehicle is designed in accordance
with EC directives and German road traffic regulations for an axle
load of 12 t (26.4 kip).
Extreme risk of accidents due to extended braking di-
stances!
At axle loads above 12 t (26.4 kip) the braking decelera-
tion as required in accordance with EC partial operating
approval, can no longer be guaranteed / maintained.
The braking distances are, as a result, considerably or
even extensively extended and there is a risk of overhea-
ting (fading).
6.4.4.1 Driving with axle loads up to 12.5 t (27.6 kip)
RISK OF ACCIDENTS due to overloading of tyres!
You must observe the highest possible maximum speed
for the actual axle load (see section 6, Possible axle
loads / permitted speeds. Failure to observe these in-
structions can result in the tyres being overloaded and
bursting.
Possible driving speeds are only permitted within existing tyre li-
mit values; i.e. the possible maximum speed may not be driven
when the tyres are not permitted for this speed (at certain axle
loads).

140_2060_237a_en 33/143
6.4.4.2 Driving with axle loads up to 16.5 t (36.4 kip)
This technically possible driving condition does not meet the re-
gulations of the German road traffic licensing regulations and the
EEC directives.
Therefore driving in this region is only permitted on private roads
and grounds. These must have a sufficient loadbearing capa-
city and must be sufficiently level (e.g. no potholes).
If the crane is driven with axle loads above 12.5 t (27.6 kip), the
following points must be observed:
Only short driving stretches are permitted at any time.
Before driving take the axle loads from the listed driving con-
dition or recalculate based on the current configuration using
the weight table.
The determining factor is always the axle that is under the hig-
hest load.
With the lift axle raised, the crane may not be driven, as rai-
sing the lift axle leads to a further prohibited increase in the
axle load.
The crane must not be steered on the spot or when on very
uneven ground.
During driving the displayed pressures of the suspension cir-
cuits must be observed. They should be proportionate and
must not exceed 260 bar (3771 psi).
Calculate the maximum permitted speed based on the cur-
rent axle load and observe this maximum while the crane is
driven.
Before driving in public traffic, the driver must be fully conver-
sant with the changed driving / braking behaviour of the crane
(e.g. longer braking distances).
Reduce the maintenance intervals; carry out inspections
more often.
Risk of damage as a result of premature wear!
RISK OF ACCIDENTS as a result of worn components!
Special instructions / warnings related to this are summari-
sed in the subsection Shorter maintenance intervals for
axle loads over 12.5 t (27.6 kip).
The information given here must be observed at all times.
The crane manufacturer shall not be held liable for damage resul-
ting from premature wear when driving with axle loads above
12.5 t (27,6 kip).
Crane operators / crane drivers carry sole responsibility when the
crane vehicle is driven with axle loads > 12.5 t (27.6 kip).

6.4.5 Shorter maintenance intervals for axle loads above
12.5 t (27.6 kip)
Even when observing the specified, axleloaddependent dri-
ving speeds, driving with axle loads > 12.5 t (27.6 kip) is only per-
mitted temporarily.
Driving with axle loads of more than 12.5 t (27.6 kip) is always
an exceptional condition and is only permitted for short
stretches. even if higher values are permitted by individual
national regulations.
The crane manufacturer shall not be held liable for damage resul-
ting from premature wear when driving with axle loads above
12.5 t (27,6 kip).
Risk of damage as a result of premature wear!
If the crane is driven with axle loads above 12.5 t (27.6 kip),
steering, axle suspension, axles, wheel hubs, bearings, sus-
pension system, suspension cylinders, brakes, wheels and
tyres must be checked regularly at least once every 3
months however for damage and wear.
This applies especially to the setting of the steering geome-
try and the brake linings!
RISK OF ACCIDENTS as a result of worn components!
When defects are discovered they must be dealt with imme-
diately in order to prevent safety risks, further wear orirrepa-
rable damage to the component.
The steering geometry and other components relevant to the
safety of the crane may only be checked and, if necessary,
repaired by our customer service technicians or a corres-
ponding specialist workshop.

6.5 Driving on Public Roads
(Z 160 015)
This crane vehicle has extraordinary dimensions and
weights.
Make sure that the vehicle is driven with caution and fore-
sight (avoiding regular acceleration and braking).
The maximum permitted speed for this vehicle in Germany is
80 km/h (50 mph).
When driving on public roads the crane vehicle must be in a spe-
cific transport condition.
The transport condition of the mobile crane depends on the road
traffic regulations applicable in the country in which the crane is
to be operated.
In countries with EEC approval regulations, axle loads of
max. 12 t (26.4 kip) are permitted when driving on public
highways.
In countries with different national regulations the permitted
axle loads may actually be lower than 12 t (26.4 kip).
The crane operator / driver must ensure that the axle loads
are within the permitted limits and that they are evenly distri-
buted and that any additional restrictions are observed.
If the axle loads are exceeded or other regulations are not
followed, they carry sole responsibility.
As a rule, the specifications in the section Axle loads /
speeds / tyres and the corresponding subsections must be
observed exactly.
In the interests of safety, the technically possible maxi-
mum axle loads should not be exceeded at the corres-
ponding speed indicated in the lefthand column.
Adapt the driving speed to the actual axle loads and the
route conditions.

6.5.1 Driving with axle loads of 12 t (26.4 kip)
In accordance with the EEC directive and the German road
traffic licensing regulations, axle loads are permitted of up
to 12 t (26.4 kip). This is equivalent to an overall weight of 60 t
(132.3 kip).
The vehicle is fully approved for this condition.
This transport condition is listed in the section Defined transport
conditions under Driving with overall weight 60 t (132.3 kip).
6.5.2 Driving in the United Kingdom (UK Approval)
In the United Kingdom (UK) special approval regulations apply.
In the United Kingdom (UK) as a result of a special national
regulation other (higher) axle loads can occur.
Instructions on applying the national regulation Special Type
General Order can be found in the additional section 61 Driving
in the UK.

6.5.3 Checks Always Done before Driving on the Road
Before driving on the road, always make sure the following condi-
tions are met:
All transport locks must be fitted (see under Transport
locks).
The main boom must be in Road travel condition (telescopic
sections pinned, locking / pinning unit locked in transport po-
sition (see part 1, section 12)).
The suspension is not to be locked; it must be set to the
4waysystem and be at the road travel level (see sec-
tion 11).
The steering must be in Road travel condition (see sec-
tion 9).
A disc must be inserted in the tachograph.
Emergency devices e.g. first aid box, warning triangle, fire ex-
tinguisher must be complete and easy to reach.
The housing cover of the outrigger controls on the side of the
chassis must be closed.
(Z 53 777)
The ladders, which are loose (1) must be attached to the hol-
ders on the chassis and secured with the rubber fixtures.
(Z 53 778)
The ladder, which is loose (2) must be attached to the holders
under the drivers cab and secured with the rubber fixtures.
No loose parts are permitted on the equipment.
This crane vehicle has extraordinary dimensions.
Pay attention in particular to the overhead clearance and
check the route in this respect.
Caution with the quick release coupling!
The equipment may be equipped with a quick release
coupling (between the superstructure and chassis).
In this case the height dimension is 4135 mm (13.6 ft).

Notes on the vehicle height for onroad driving:
A vehicle height of 4000 mm (13.12 ft) must be complied with.
The device can be equipped with additional rope carriers
(X) and / or a rope bracket (Y) at the boom head (on the
boom cases).
If such parts are attached, the vehicle height is 4120 mm
(13.51 ft). This is no condition for driving onroad!
Risk of damage!
In order not to exceed the maximum permitted height for
onroad driving of 4000 mm (13.12 ft), these components
must be removed.
If a quick coupling is attached, this results in an additio-
nal 135 mm (5.3 in) to the overall height.

RISK OF ACCIDENTS due to overloading of tyres!
The maximum permitted speed must be observed for the
current axle load (see section 6 under Possible axle
loads / permitted speeds). The determining factor is al-
ways the axle that is under the highest load. Failure to
observe these instructions can result in the tyres being
overloaded and bursting.
Extreme risk of accidents due to extended braking di-
stances!
Axle loads exceeding 12 t (26.4 kip) result in a signifi-
cantly longer braking distance and the risk of fading.

6.7 Driving Downhill
Reduce the speed and select a lower gear.
Observe the revolution counter (50, Z 200 217) to prevent the
engine speed moving into the danger zone.
Use nonwearing sustainedaction brakes (exhaust brake,
hydraulic retarder).
Only use the service brake briefly as an auxiliary brake.
The gear range in which the crane can be maintained at a
constant speed must be selected before the crane is
driven downhill.
When transmission is in automatic operation:
When the engineindependent sustainedaction brake is swit-
ched on, the transmission automatically adjust the gears to reach
an optimal braking effect (engine speed faster than 1100 min
1
).
The effect of the exhaust brake and the hydraulic retarder is de-
pendent on the engine speed.
The higher the rpm, the greater the braking effect.
When the hydraulic retarder is used, heat is created in the
transmission.
The transmission oil temperature is monitored indirectly (via
the coolant temperature of the engine) with the help of the
preheating indicator (B13) in the driver information display.
If the oil temperature rises to prohibited values (over 1505 C /
3025 F), which in turn leads to the coolant temperature being too
high, the retarder performance must be reduced until the coolant
temperature is consistently lower than 955 C (2035 F).
If the retarder output is not regulated by the driver, the system au-
tomatically reduces the braking effect until the permissible tem-
perature has been reached (again).
The service brake may only be used to brake the crane
until the speed is read at which the transmission shifts
down to the next gear.
The service brake must not be used for sustained pe-
riods under any circumstances. Risk of fading!

6.8 Driving over Hill Summits
(Z 200 218)
When driving over hill summits, it must be ensured that all axles
remain in contact with the ground.
The crane operator bears sole responsibility for any damage to
the crane chassis caused by exceeding the maximum suspen-
sion travel or block position of the suspension and exceeding
the maximum axle loads when an axle lifts off the ground.
When driving over hill summits, it is prohibited:
to lock the suspension
to exceed an axle load of 14 t (30.8 kip)
as components MAY BREAK otherwise!
If an axle should however lift off the ground, proceed as follows:
1. Stop the crane in a straight position and engage the longitudi-
nal differential lock by actuating Actuate switch (94) while do-
ing so; The indicator light (A9) lights up.
2. Driving over a hill summit at walking speed (max. 5 km/h
(3 mph)).
Whilst driving over the summit:
Avoid turning the steering.
Observe the suspension pressure continually.
If the pressure in one of the three suspension circuits ri-
ses to 260 bar (3773 psi), then AXLES MAY BREAK!
If a pressure of 300 bar (4354 psi) is reached, then the hill
top must not be driven over.
Reverse carefully.
3. After driving over the hill summit, stop the crane immediately
and switch off the longitudinal differential lock again. Actuate
switch (94) while doing so; indicator light (A9) goes out.

6.10 Driving on the Construction Site
6.10.1 Driving in the Transport Condition
Notes on ground conditions:
The ground conditions must be suitable for the individual axle
loads as well as the overall weight.
The route must be even and the ground must be able to support
the load.
When driving with the steering program Construction site
operation, deviating regulations apply (see section 9).
The differential locks may only be switched on for a brief period
of time, in order to bypass obstacles when driving straight
ahead.
Driving speeds of more than 5 km/h (3 mph) overload tyres and
driving unit.
Following the obstacle the differential locks must be switched off
again immediately.
The crane must be stationary when switching the differential
locks on and off.
The hydraulic suspension of the crane chassis must not be lok-
ked and must be set to level (see section 11).
When driving over hill summits or ramps, the same rules ap-
ply as for driving over hill summits on the road.
The instructions in that section must be followed.
For driving on surfaces that are not quite even, to improve the ve-
hicle handling the crane can be set to the 3circuit system (Notes
on this can be found in Sect. 11).

6.11 Driving in the Configured Condition
Driving in Erect Mode (with Erected Main Boom /
Equipment)
The crane can be equipped with another axle (trailing axle) in ad-
dition to the normal 5axlechassis (basic unit).
It is connected (on the rear of the vehicle) to the basic unit using
a hydraulic pinning system. This increases the number of axles
from 5 to 6.
The crane can be driven in erect mode in both versions.
There are different driving tables for both versions.
In order to avoid confusion, they are listed in separate sections.
The driving tables for the basic unit (5axlechassis) are
in this section (6, Driving).
If you driving with a fitted trailing axle (6axlechassis), the
driving tables are in a separate additional section (62).
The following Instructions on driving in erect mode are valid for
every chassis version.
6.11.1 Instructions on Driving in Erect Mode
Driving in Erect Mode always means: driving without
load on the hook!
Driving with load is prohibited!
The entire stability of the system during Driving in erect
mode is determined by the tyre.
Due to the high pressure, the tyre is greatly deformed.
The spring movements of the flanks lead to the erected
crane swinging. This means increased risk if tilting!
You must therefore drive with utmost care.
Driving in erect mode with steering program construction
site mode (switch (92) actuated) is PROHIBITED!
Driving in the configured condition is only permitted in the
4circuit system (for instructions, see Sect. 11).

Notes on ground conditions:
The ground conditions must be suitable for the individual axle
loads as well as the overall weight.
The ground must be even and free of dips and rises, it must also
have sufficient loadbearing capacity.
Driving in erect mode with steering program construction
site mode (switch (92) actuated) is PROHIBITED!
Driving in the configured condition is only permitted in the
4circuit system (for instructions, see Sect. 11).
When driving in the erect mode:
The gradient must not exceed the following values:
2 % in the forward direction
1 % laterally (without additional equipment)
0.5 % laterally (with additional equipment)
Extend the outrigger struts and hold the outrigger feet just
above the ground.
There is a danger of overturning if the outrigger struts are not
extended!
Make sure that the outrigger struts are correctly pinned and
locked!
The suspension system of the crane chassis must be locked
(see section 11).
Driving speed is not to exceed walking pace.
Distributor gear: Offroad gear level.
Drive gearbox: 1st gear, Manual operating mode.
Clutch: Starting mode; (only for the last cm possibly Ma-
noeuvring mode with switch 90). (Z 52 106)
Risk of accidents!
If the CL warning appears on the transmission display,
immediately stop and let the system cool down.
If you do not stop, the sudden closing of the clutch (see
ch. 7. Clutch protection) will cause a jerky movement
of the rigged crane.
The crane could fall over.
Main boom to the rear apply mechanical superstructure lok-
king device. Locking bolt (1) must be inserted in locking strip
(2). Make sure that this is the case (Z 39 851).
For machines with dolly equipment (optional) the locking pin (1)
can only insert in locking strip (2) when the release lock (plug) (3)
has previously been removed. (Z 53 025)

The hook block must be secured on the chassis e.g. on the
manoeuvring / trailer coupling, or also on the outriggers (tele-
scoped out) to prevent swinging movements (or it must be rai-
sed).
Apply the slew gear brake.
For devices with dolly equipment (option), the slewing gear brake
should not be locked open (see Driving with the dolly).
Caution with side winds, above all if they are acting in the
same direction as a transverse gradient.
Constantly monitor the suspension pressure on pressure
gauges (5) to (10) in the drivers cab. (Z 200 233)
If the pressure in one of the suspension circuits rises to
300 bar (4354 psi), stop the crane immediately and extend
the supporting cylinders, until the wheels are been relieved.
Level the crane by resetting the hydraulic suspension and/or
correcting the boom position.
If the crane is driven further it may OVERTURN or the AXLES
MAY BREAK!

The following tables concerning superstructure position, boom
angles and lengths and axle loads correspond to the following
configuration:
Basic unit with:
Counterweight (incl. hoist 2) in accordance with correspon-
ding table sheet.
Calculated hook block in accordance with the corresponding
table sheet.
Corresponding equipment (e.g. main boom extension).
Driving the crane with other rigging configurations other
than those specified in the following table sheets (driving ta-
bles) is PROHIBITED!
The driving tables are available using metric or British / Ame-
rican dimension units in the section. When using the tables,
make sure to use the correct units of measurement.
When changing the calculated hook block, slight adjustment of
the main boom (or of the equipment) can achieve a more balan-
ced axle load again.
The suspension pressure when lowering the crane from the ou-
triggers onto the wheels can be monitored via the pressure gau-
ges. When this is done, 260 bar (3773 psi) must not be excee-
ded.
Axle load Suspension pressure
12 t (26.4 kip) 105 bar (1524 psi)
15 t (33 kip) 140 bar (2032 psi)

6.12 Driving with dolly
(Z 200 226, Z 53 775)
6.12.1 Important instructions for Dolly operation
Dolly operation means: During transport travel, the boom is se-
cured to the rear (superstructure position 180) on a trailer (dolly).
There are very different Dolly designs and different types of sup-
port devices.
An example of a possible construction is illustrated (not binding).
Dolly version with hydraulic system
Dolly version without hydraulic system
No direct correspondence is to be expected between it and mo-
del which is actually at hand.
Risk of tipping, risk of skidding!
The handling of the vehicle can be seriously impaired depen-
ding on the type of dolly used.
The reduced axle loads represent an additional negative ef-
fect. The instructions in the section Driving with reduced
axle loads must be observed.
Drive with special care when a trailer is attached. Parti-
cular care is required in curves (swerving outwards, drif-
ting sideways, shifting centre of gravity).
Note the hydraulic pressures in the suspension circuits
while driving. If, on a level road, the hydraulic pressures
of the rear axles are greatly increased, then the luffing
cylinder must be completely retracted once again. Other-
wise there is a risk of the dolly failing to maintain suffi-
cient contact with the ground.

6.12.3 Measures for Dolly operation
6.12.3.1 The following measures must be carried out before
driving with the dolly:
Float position of the superstructure
The superstructure must be in what is called the Float position
during Dolly operation in order to ensure that the dolly system
can follow vehicle movements (curves/dips and rises) whilst tra-
velling.
The Float position must be set before the beginning of the jour-
ney and consists of the following individual measures:
Set luffing gear.
Open the slew gear brake and lock in this position.
Release superstructure locking device and secure bolt.
Be sure to follow the sequence of the handling steps descri-
bed below.
Set luffing gear:
(Z 53 026)
Handling steps for Setting the Luffing Gear:
1. Put the crane on outriggers (outrigger span 8.23 m x 7.5 m
(27 ft x 24.6 ft))
2. Position the dolly behind the crane and secure with wheel
chocks.
Risk of accidents!
Secure dolly with wheel chocks against rolling away.
3. Start superstructure engine.
4. Place main boom (lengthways) on the dolly, fasten and se-
cure.
5. Join connections between the dolly and the towing vehicle.
6. Remove the wheel chocks from under the wheels of the dolly.

7. Retract luffing cylinder completely (until it hits stop).
Note:
The rear support cylinders may need to be extended out furt-
her in order to allow the luffing cylinder to be retracted until
it hits stop.
8. Close ball valve H1; this blocks the oil supply at the bottom
end to the luffing cylinder(luffing cylinder must be fully retrac-
ted).
9. Retracting Outriggers
10. Level apparatus

Open slew gear brake and lock it open:
(Z 53 779, Z 53 780)
Risk of tipping!
When the slew gear brake is open, the superstructure
can rotate involuntarily (influenced by wind / tilted posi-
tion of the crane). The crane can overturn when this hap-
pens.
For that reason, do not open the slew gear brake / lock it
open until after the boom has been secured to the dolly.
Whether the slew gear brake is closed or open can be determined
by the position of the shift rod (32).
The condition Slew gear brake closed (in operation) is
shown as position B.
Shift rod (32) extracted = slew gear brake in Crane mode;
that means Dolly operation is prohibited.
The condition Slew gear brake opened / locked open (not in
operation) is shown as position A.
Shift rod (32) inserted = slew gear brake in Dolly mode; that
means Operation of the crane is prohibited.
Handling steps to Slew gear brake open / locked open:
11. Open slewing gear brake hydraulically by pressing switch
(75A); Indicator light in the switch lights up.
12. Remove the padlock (63).
13. Mechanically lock the opened slew gear brake.
To do so, push the shift rod (32) in as far as possible (posi-
tion A) (switching distance 26 mm (1.0 in)).
14. Lock in position A with a padlock (63).
15. Cut off the air pressure by pressing the switch (75B); indica-
tor light in the switch goes out.
In this condition the slew gear brake is locked open and thus
out of function.
16. Switch off the superstructure engine.
17. Retract outrigger.
18. Set the device level.
19. Adjust the dolly behind the crane in accordance with the dolly
manufacturer s specifications (e.g. level, etc.).

Release superstructure locking device and secure bolt
(Z 53 025, Z 53 028)
Risk of tipping!
The superstructure locking device is not to be released
until the boom is fastened to the dolly.
If the superstructure locking device is released before
the boom is fastened to the dolly, then the superstruc-
ture, e.g in cases where it is tilted or subject to wind in-
fluences, could start to swivel on its own. The crane
could overturn in such situations.
Handling steps for Releasing superstructure locking device / Se-
curing bolt.
1. Release the superstructure locking device.
(When the superstructure engine is running, press switch
(74); to cause the locking bolt (1) to move out of the locking
strip (2). The indicator light in the switch lights up.)
2. Secure the locking pin (1) in the raised condition using fore
lock (3) mechanically, to prevent it being extended uninten-
tionally.
Risk of accidents!
Before the crane is driven with the dolly, the locking bolt
(1) of the superstructure locking device must be secured
mechanically in its raised condition by means of the fore
lock (3).

6.12.3.2 The following measures must be carried out when dri-
ving with the dolly attached
The available equipment, e.g. the indicator lights / warning
buzzer, must be used to monitor Dolly operation.
The available devices, e.g. the suspension pressure gau-
ges, should be monitored while driving or when at a
standstill. Should it happen that the axle loads of the ba-
sic unit and thereby the suspension pressures have in-
creased while driving on level ground, then the levelling
of the dolly must be readjusted. The contact pressure on
the dolly wheels, among other things, is reduced in this
condition, so that the dolly wheels could tend to lock
while braking. This would result in a reduction of braking
power.
Hill summits may only be passed at reduced speed: Due
to the restricted telescoping distance of the luffing cylin-
der, the dolly wheels could be relieved or lift off the road
surface
The dolly should be watched in the rear vision mirror
while driving, especially when driving round a bend.

(Z 53 029, Z 53 781)
Danger of overturning while raising the boom!
The boom is not to be raised from the dolly until the slew
gear brake has once again been closed. Do not raise the
boom before you are convinced that the slew gear brake
really is closed!
Unlocking and Closing the Slew Gear Brake after Dolly Ope-
ration
Handling steps for unlocking and closing the slew gear brake af-
ter dolly operation:
1. Park the crane vehicle in alignment with the dolly.
Makes later assembly easier.
2. Secure dolly with wheel chocks.
Risk of accidents!
Secure dolly with wheel chocks against rolling away.
3. Put the crane on outriggers and level out (outrigger span
8.2 m x 5.4 m; 26.9 ft x 17.7 ft)
4. Open ball valve H1; in doing so release the oil supply to the
luffing cylinder on the ground side. The luffing gear is in ope-
ration.
5. Start superstructure engine.
6. Open the slew gear brake hydraulically (not yet operating) by
pressing switch (75A); Indicator light in the switch lights up.
7. Remove the padlock (63).

6.12.4 Dolly not contained in crane manufacturers scope of
supply
(Z 51 342)
If the dolly is not contained in our scope of supply, assembly,
operation and maintenance of this component remain the
sole responsibility of the crane operator. The crane operator
is responsible for careful assembly, operation and mainte-
nance in accordance with national regulations.
The manufacturers instructions must be followed.
The dolly must be attached to the crane in such a way that
no dangers arise. For instance, the axles of the dolly must be
evenly burdened, in order to achieve an optimum braking ef-
fect.
Dolly operating conditions which are dangerous to travelling
operations must be monitored during the journey.
The crane operator must ensure, in consultation with the
dolly manufacturer, that important information is displayed
to the vehicle driver in an appropriate fashion.
A monitor lamp (B24) and a warning buzzer (17) are to be fac-
toryinstalled in the drivers cab for this purpose.
6.12.5 Dolly contained in the manufacturers scope of sup-
ply
If the dolly is part of the manufacturers scope of supply, detailed
instructions can be found in section 17 of these operating instruc-
tions.
Pay attention in this case to the instructions outlined and
the regulations for operating a dolly system.

Risk of crushing!
The area between towing vehicle and dolly is not visible
during the steps in which the towing vehicle is moved.
It may be advisable to assign someone the job of monito-
ring that area.
Initial situation:
Dolly is switched off with parking brake actuated and wheel
chocks in place.
Risk of accidents!
Automatic braking by disconnecting the brake line is not
sufficient.
Sequence for coupling:
1. For dollies with rotating shafts:
Release front axle brake (if present).
Risk of accidents!
When the front axle brake is released, the fork may slam
back and forth if the wheels are not standing on a
smooth, level surface.
2. Move the towing vehicle up to approximately 1 m (3 ft) from
the coupling ring, then use the height adjustment device to
set the coupling ring at the coupling height.
3. Open the coupling on the towing vehicle.
4. Step out of the danger zone between towing vehicle and
dolly!
Risk of accidents!
Never step between the vehicles during the coupling se-
quence!
5. Carry out the coupling by moving the towing vehicle back-
ward, never by using the forbidden method of having the
dolly run up to it!
Risk of accidents!
Because of the extreme danger of accidents, it is forbid-
den to allow the dolly to move forward to couple the vehi-
cles no exceptions.

The drive gearbox (2) an automatic transmission ZFAS
TRONIC Type 16 AS 2601 (16 forward gears, 2 reverse gears)
is flanged together with the drive motor (1) via a dry clutch. A
twostage distributor gear (3) is rearmounted to this
combination.
7.1 Drive gearbox:
7.1.1 Description of the System
The ZFAS TRONIC consists of a fourspeed part, a splitter unit
(GV) and a rearmounted range unit (GP) in planetary design.
The basic gearbox is dogclutched; splitter and planetary units
are synchronised.
Thanks to the automatic coupling (no clutch pedal), the driver no
longer needs to activate the clutch.
The actual gear switching is done by the electronic transmission
system.
The transmission actuator and the clutch actuator are the most
important components for completely automating the
transmission.
The transmission actuator consists of the electronic gear system,
shift valves, shift cylinders and sensors.
The clutch actuator is an electropneumatic actuator with path
sensors; it takes over the entire transmission actuation.
A hydraulic retarder (system ZF Intarder), a nonwearing,
functioning, hydrodynamic auxiliary brake is integrated in the
transmission.
All essential system information, e.g. neutral, gear step, clutch
overload, fault and diagnosis information are display to the driver
in the Transmission information display (75).
Moreover, other special indicator lights are shown in the Driver
information system display (43) for:
Clutch overload (B5) and
transmission malfunction (B6) together with caution (36) or
serious transmission malfunction (B6) together with STOP
(35)

Air pressure of min. 6.2 bar is needed to switch gears. It is not
possible to shift gears below this mark. Unsuccessful gear shifts
are saved as errors by the electronic system.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
If you shift when the air pressure is too low, thetransmis-
sion can remain in neutral, with the result that no
through drive and no engine braking effect are available.
Rotary switch
The rotary switch has three positions:
D Drive
N Neutral (no gear is engaged in the transmission)
R Reverse
If the rotary switch is in the N position, then the switch lever
wont work.

The driver can also select another driving gear as the
programmed driving gear.
Overrevving the engine must be avoided by the driver by shifting
gears at the right time.
If you use the accelerator pedal in too high a gear, you might stall
the engine.
You must avoid slow driving which puts stress on the clutch by
possibly driving slowly or by driving in a lower gear than is fixed
and programmed.

A gear can be switched automatically while driving by the
automatic driving programme, or manually by the driver.
You can shift from any gear into neutral using the rotary switch
(13). This gear switch has priority. (Z 47 966)
The position of the accelerator pedal (18) must not be changed
while switching gears, because the engine is automatically
controlled.
A gear switch command is not executed when the max.
permissible engine speed was exceeded by the gearshift
mechanism.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
Shifting to neutral is also possible while driving. If you
shift to neutral, the drive train is interrupted
The engine braking effect no longer exists.
At the latest by an engine speed of 2350 rpm, the crane is to be
braked until the speed is reached at which the automatic
transmission shifts down to the next gear (possible gear range
change).
7.1.8.1 Shifting gears in the automatic transmission mode
All upshifting and downshifting is done automatically.
Shifting gears depends on various factors such as axle load,
acceleration pedal position, speed, engine speed or shift profile.
Upshifting:
When accelerating, as soon as the required speed is reached to
shift up a gear, the transmission automatically shifts into the next
higher gear.
Downshifting:
When decelerating, as soon as the required speed is reached to
shift down a gear, the transmission automatically shifts into the
next lower gear.
The gear display is shown as digits in the display (75) while
driving. (Z 52 102)

(Z 200 317, Z 51 349)
You can only shift gear in another driving direction is the
wheels are at a standstill. Engine at idle speed!
If the vehicle is rolling, it will not shift into the reverse gear;
the transmission shifts into neutral.
Engage reverse gear:
1. Stop vehicle; wait for standstill; Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the rotary switch (13) over N to R .
RH appears in the display (75)
(clutch remains disconnected)
The switching system automatically selects the rapid reverse
motion as a fixed programmed driving gear.
3. Push the accelerator pedal (18) and at the same time,
release the parking brake.

7.1.10 Stopping
The vehicle can be braked in any gear to the point of standstill.
If the accelerator pedal is not actuated, the vehicle will decelerate
with the service brake to the point of standstill. Apply the parking
brake.
The clutch opens automatically before the vehicle comes to a
standstill, so that stalling the engine is avoided.
When engine is not in action, it is recommended to put the
transmission in neutral, because after the device has been in
standstill for a long time, the emergency pressure supply (6.2 bar)
level required for shifting gears could have sunk to a point where
it is no longer possible to shift into neutral.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
If the vehicle is standing with a running engine and an
engaged gear, it is enough to actuate the accelerator
pedal (18) in order to bring the vehicle into motion.
Before leaving the vehicle with the engine running, the
transmission must be in neutral and the parking brake
must be applied.
Applying the parking brake while driving on a smooth
surface can bring the engine to a standstill.
The hydraulic steering support is no longer available in
its previous form. A considerable amount of power is
needed for the steering wheel and the steering reacts
more slowly.

neutral. If no brake is actuated, the vehicle can roll away.
Ignition off, special case
If the ignition is switched off while driving, it is not possible to shift
into neutral. The engaged gear remains engaged, the clutch
remains engaged.
When the driving speed goes below a certain limit, the clutch and
the transmission shifts into neutral.

7.1.12 Manoeuvring (Distance < 1m)
(52 106, Z 52 107, Z 52 108)
When moving slowly and carefully (e.g. hooking up / detaching
a dolly), a manoeuvring operation is provided in the first driving
gear and in the first reverse gear. The transmission remains in
this gear; it does not upshift.
The manoeuvring operation is not effective in other gear. If it is
selected in another gear, the shift will not be executed
(transmission remains in the first gear).
In the manoeuvring operation, the clutch is switched from
Driving mode to Manoeuvring mode with the switch (90). The
clutch control is different to that for the normal Driving mode
(now: dragging clutch).
In this way, the vehicle can be positioned slowly and carefully
forward or backwards using the accelerator pedal (18).
During manoeuvring, the distributor gear should always be
shifted into Offroad gear because of the more favourable
transmission ratio. This prevents damage to the clutch.
The manoeuvring operation is associated with heat
development and increased clutch wear and can lead to
overloading the clutch.
The CL display (43) and the Clutch overload (B5) is
shown in the display (75) if the clutch is overloaded
(regardless of accelerator pedal position and driving speed).
The driver has to change the travelling operation now
(vehicle / stop) to prevent damage to the clutch.
In Manoeuvring mode, the vehicle can only be moved slightly.
The driving time is about three minutes; only a short distance (<
1 m) can be covered until the CL and B5 warning displays light
up as a result of heat development.
The system needs another 15 minutes or so with stationary
vehicle and running engine to cool off the clutch.

7.1.13 Towing
The towing procedure is described in detail in section 14.
Observe the procedures defined there exactly.
7.1.14 Towing start
It is not possible to start the engine by towing it along.
Jump start with external batteries, see section 5.
7.1.15 Rolling down a downhill slope
Prerequisite for this procedure: Running engine
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
When the vehicle is rolling without an engaged gear
rotary switch (13) is on N there is no engine braking
effect.
Do not let the vehicle roll in the opposite direction of the
engaged gear.
If the vehicle rolls forward when the transmission is in neutral
after releasing the brakes and you shift from N to D , then
the system selects the gear that fits to the speed. The drive train
is closed (positively tied). (Z 52 115; Example with third gear)
7.1.16 Exhaust brake
The engine braking effect is interrupted when switching
gears. The vehicle can speed up during downhill driving.
Manual Driving Operation
The exhaust brake is deactivated by the system when shifting.
After shifting, the exhaust brake is automatically activated again.
Automatic Driving Operation
When actuating the exhaust brake, the system shifts back to the
gear where the highest brake performance was available.

7.1.17 Clutch protection
(Z 52 107, Z 52 108)
Despite the automated clutch, the driver has great influence on
the service life of the clutch lining. To cut down on wear and tear,
it is recommended to always select the lowest possible gear
when driving.
See Driving and Shifting in this section under Correction of the
programmed driving gear.
To prevent damage to the mechanical parts of the clutch control,
shift the transmission to neutral for longer stops (more than 12
minutes, e.g. traffic jam, train crossing). In doing so, the clutch is
engaged and the clutch controller is released.
If the clutch is in danger of overloading, e.g. due to several short,
consecutive startup procedures or crawling with dragging
clutch, the CL display will appear on the display (75) and the
indicator light (B5) on the display (43).
Put the vehicle into an operating mode where the clutch is not
overloaded; for example:
when accelerating (to apply the clutch)
when stopping
when driving at a low gear
when driving at speeds below the walking speed: switch
distributor gear to terrain driving.
If the driver ignores the warning signal, the clutch en-
gages when the accelerator pedal (18) is pushed.
In this way, further strain on the clutch is avoided.
This can lead to the stalling of the engine, in which
case the vehicle may roll back if on an incline.
By releasing the accelerator pedal (18), the clutch opens
again.
Further information can be found under Manoeuvring in this
section.

7.1.18 Overspeed protection
To protect the entire drive train from too high a speed, the system
allows only gearshifts that are within a certain range.
Shifting and protective measures are in conjunction with the
permissible engine speed, that can be controlled at the revolution
counter (50) in the instrument panel.
If the engine speed exceeds 2350 rpm (excessive engine speed),
the LED (50.1) lights up and the warning buzzer sounds as long
as the engine speed is excessive.
Be sure that the engine does not exceed the permissible
speed range. especially when driving downhill.
At an engine speed of 2300 rpm, the exhaust brake is
deactivated to protect the engine mechanic against damage.
7.1.18.1 Manual transmission mode
If the vehicle accelerates when going downhill, the automatic
transmission will not shift into a higher gear.
The engine can be damaged, if the vehicle accelerates when
going downhill and the engine comes in to the overspeed
range.
The accordingly low gear range in which the crane
can be maintained at a constant speed must be selected
before the crane is driven downhill.
When driving downhill, pay special attention to the in-
structions in section 6 regarding gear selection and brak-
ing.
7.1.18.2 Automatic transmission mode
Caution when driving downhill!
At the latest by an engine speed of 2300 rpm, the vehicle is
to be braked until the speed is reached at which the
automatic transmission shifts down to the next gear.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
The vehicle can accelerate when travelling downhill.
To protect the engine during excessive engine speed, the
system upshifts.

vehicle. If a gear is engaged, the clutch engages.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
The vehicle can drive off the roller even without the ac-
celerator pedal being pressed (18).
When rolling, it is not possible to shift into reverse gear.

7.3 System malfunctions / error diagnosis
7.3.1 Fault messages
The drive gearbox has a selfdiagnosis system.
If the system recognises faults / errors, this will be shown to the
driver on the (75) Transmission information display.
The faults are divided into fault classes 1 to 3 and entered into the
fault memory of the transmission after the ignition has been
switched off. Up to ten different errors can be stored. If the fault
memory is full, a nonactive error will be overwritten.
Error class 1
Errors that even after occurring several time do not lead to a
reduced availability of the system.
Display: None
Unlimited driving mode possible.
Error class 2
If two or more class 2 errors occur, the system reacts in the same
way as with class 3 errors.
Display: Spanner symbol (Z 52 109)
If the Spanner symbol appears on the display, there is system
malfunction. It may be that the driving mode is only possible in
limited form, e.g. only in manual.
Fault category 3
Display: Spanner symbol plus STOP
(Z 52 110)
If the Spanner symbol plus STOP appears in the display, there
is a serious system malfunction. Continued operation is not
permitted. It is necessary to bring the vehicle to the workshop.
Regardless of what is shown on the Transmission information
display (75), various malfunctions are also shown on the Driver
information system display (43) with the use of indicator lights.

7.4 Distributor gear
The distributor gear is rearmounted to the actual drive gearbox.
It forms a unit with the Lift axle.
An emergency steering pump, that secure the steering ability of
the crane in case the engine fails, is located on the intermediate
shaft. It is driven from the rolling crane.
There are two gear levels (street / offroad gear).
A = onroad gear, B = drive, C = emergency steering pump 1, D
= front drive, E = differential lock,
F = offroad gear, G = shift cylinder, H = lubricating oil pump, I =
emergency steering pump 2, (not fitted) J = rear drive
7.4.1 Operating the distributor gear
Engage the offroad gear early enough (on level surface and
before entering difficult terrain); and not after the crane vehicle
has become stuck.
Onroad gear, offroad gear and the differential lock can only be
activated when the vehicle is at a standstill (dogclutching).
On rare occasions, it is not possible to switch from onroad gear
to offroad gear in one go due to the gear teeth locking.
If the attempt to shift the distributor gear fails (locked teeth), this
will be indicated on the display (43) by an indicator light (A8). The
distributor gear will then be in neutral; i.e. the drive train is not
closed.
To change the position of the teeth in the distributor gear, carry
out the following procedure:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Starting position for rotary switch (13): position N .
3. Press the dual button (93) and hold it down.
4. Change rotary switch (13) from N to D and / or R .
Do not push the accelerator pedal (18) (do not give it any
gas).
5. Observe the display (43)
If the indicator light (A7) is shown, the gear has been
successfully shifted. The offroad gear is engaged.
6. Release the dual button (93).

In case the offroad gear despite carrying out the described
procedures cannot be engaged:
Without the parking brake being engaged, turn the steering
wheel as far as it will go in one direction and then and repeat
procedures 16.
If the accelerator pedal was pushed at point 4 (the clutch closed),
the rotary switch (13) must be turned back to the starting position,
position N , before another attempt is made to shift the gear.
This will open the clutch again. Another gear shift attempt can be
made. (Z 52 105)
On/offroad gear
(Z 52 114)
The switch (93) can be used to choose between two different
gear steps in the distributor gear:
The transmission ratio in the distributor gear changes when
shifting from onroad to offroad gear.
If the distributor gear is in offroad gear, only manual
transmission mode may be used in the drive gearbox in
order to avoid interruptions of tensile force.
When driving below the walking speed or during manoeuvring
operation you should always switch to the gear Terrain driving
due to the more favourable transmission ratio. This prevents
damage to the clutch.
The gear shifts of the distributor gear operate independently of
the driving mode / gear mode of the drive gearbox.
A supply pressure of min. 7.0 bar is required for all distributor gear
shifts.
Distributor gear in onroad gear position:
The onroad gear is always engaged under normal
circumstances. No indicator light is shown.
Distributor gear in offroad gear position:
Press dual button (93); the indicator light (A7) lights up.
The offroad gear is primarily intended for:
Driving on a work site
Driving when rigged
Driving with the lowest speed possible.

Differential lock
The differential in the distributor gear can be locked if the drive
wheels slip in difficult ground conditions.
When locked, there is a rigid connection between forwards
output and rear output.
Further details about this can be found in section 10 of these
operating instructions.
Be sure to follow the instructions and regulations out-
lined there.
Neutral position
If towing is required (for certain specific types of damage), the
distributor gear can also be put into the neutral position using a
manually actuated pneumatic valve.
For exact notes, see section 14 Towstarting and Towing the
Crane
When towing is finished, on/offroad gear must be reinstated in
the distributor gear by pressing dual button (93). (Z 52 114)
Driving in reverse
Prolonged driving in reverse should be avoided. (The lubricating
oil pump does not operate!)

7.5 Driving stuck cranefree
(Z 52 114, Z 52 115, Z 52 104, Z 200 319)
If the crane is stuck on difficult terrain, it can be driven free by
driving forwards and backwards.
Action steps for driving crane free:
1. Engage offroad gear (press dual button (93)).
2. Turn rotary switch (13) to D.
The driving gear is selected automatically, but can still be
changed using the switch lever (12).
3. Apply careful pressure to the accelerator pedal (18).
Move the vehicle as far forwards as possible.
4. Engage the service brake and stop the vehicle.
Engine at idle speed!
5. Wait for standstill.
6. Move rotary switch (13) from D to N and then to R ).
The driving gear RH is automatically selected, however it
can still be modified using switching lever (12).
7. Apply careful pressure to the accelerator pedal (18).
Move the vehicle as far backwards as possible.
8. Engage the service brake and stop the vehicle.
Engine at idle speed!
9. Wait for standstill.
Repeat this procedure if the crane is getting a bit further with each
change of direction.
If the wheels are spinning, stop the attempt; the crane will have
to be towed free.
Towing free: see Section 14.3 of these operating instructions.
You can only shift gear in another driving direction is the
wheels are at a standstill (engine at idle speed).
If the vehicle is rolling, it will not shift gears; the
transmission shifts into neutral.
Keep an eye on the clutch temperature.
If the clutch is in danger of overloading, the CL display will
appear on the display (75) and the indicator light (B5) on the
display (43).

8 Brakes
The braking system is designed in accordance with German
road traffic regulations and European EEC directives for
axle loads of up to 12 tons.
Make sure therefore that these axle loads are observed.
Never drive with a defective brake system.
8.1 Emergency pressure supply braking system
(Z 52 136, Z 200 150, Z 200 153)
Display of the pressure supply
The pressure supply can be called up on the display (43) Driver
information (to do so, see notes in section 4).
10. Call up the menu selection 4 Information on Checks
(Z 200 150) in the main menu.
11. Then select menu point 4 Pressure supply in braking circuits
1 and 2 (Z 200 153).
In the top row, the pressure in braking circuit 1 and in the bottom
row the pressure in braking circuit 2 is displayed (bar display).
If the emergency pressure supply is below 7 bar, the braking
system must be topped up at medium revs, until a pressure of 8
bar has been reached.
Fault / warning displays
The following warnings are indicated on display (43), if the
pressure supply falls below 5.5 bar:
Preheating indicator (B3) for braking circuit 1
Preheating indicator (B4) for braking circuit 2
At the same time the preheating indicators (B3 / B4) appear, the
STOP display (35) lights up and the warning buzzer sounds.
If the preheating indicators (B3 / B4) light up together
with the STOP display (35) and the warning buzzer
sounds, the pressure supply in the braking system is too
low.
Stop the vehicle immediately; there is a serious risk of
accidents.

8.2 Service Brake
(Z 52 136)
The service brake (dual circuit compressed air braking system)
acts on all wheels.
To brake, press down the pedal (19) of the brake valve gently.
Immediately after driving, test the brakes on a dry, antiskid
road surface (service and retaining brake). When doing so,
make sure the crane brakes evenly, does not veer to the side
and that brake delay is faultless.
There must be no oil or water in the brake linings. If water has
permeated into the brake lining, lightly brake with the
service brake until the brakes are again fully functional.
The service brake must not be used for sustained peri-
ods under any circumstances. Danger of overheating
(fading)!
The service brakes may only be used when driving
downhill in order to brake the crane until a speed has
been achieved where the crane switches back to the next
gear.
This is why you must select the gear before driving
downhill with which the speed of the crane can be main-
tained when driving downhill.
Never drive with a defective brake system!
After the brakes have been used more intensely, do not switch
off the vehicle immediately but drive on for a little while in order
to allow the brakes to cool off faster from the driving wind.

8.2.1 Wear indicator for brake linings (disc brake)
(Z 62 761)
The brake linings are monitored by wear indicators. Wear is
indicated by the indicator light (B35) for disc brakes, left, and the
indicator light (B36) for disc brakes, right.
At first, the wear indicator light up only during braking. With
increasing wear, they light up permanently.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
If the indicator light (B35) or the indicator light (B36)
lights up only during braking or permanently, the brake
linings are worn and the braking effect is significantly
reduced.
Continuing to drive can cause damage to components of
the braking system.
The brake linings must always be replaced axle by axle.

8.3 Parking brake
(Z 52 136, Z 200 152, Z 200 153)
To park the crane, the parking brake (hand brake) must be
applied!
It is opened with compressed air and closed with accumulated
spring force. It is active on axles 1, 3, 4 and 5.
If the service brake fails, the parking brake can be used as an
emergency brake.
If the emergency pressure supply in the spring accumulator
brake circuit is too low, the spring accumulator parking brake can
be released mechanically in the case of an emergency (see
section 14).
As the parking brake does not work on all wheels, its braking
effect is less than that of the service brake.
Apply the parking brake:
Move lever (14) from the neutral position to the fully braked
position at the rear (lever locks in place). The indicator light
Parking brake (39) lights up.
With partial braking, the lever must be held in the desired position
as it otherwise returns automatically to the released (neutral)
position.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
Make sure that the lever (14) locks correctly in the full brake
position, as it can otherwise return automatically to the
released position.
The lever (14) must not be able to be pushed backed into the
released position (without actuating the lock).

Release the parking brake:
Lift and hold the lock of the parking brake valve. Swing the lever
(14) forwards up to the stop. The indicator light Parking brake
(39) must go out.
The parking brake holds the crane on a max. inclination of 28 %
but not on the maximum inclination on which the crane can be
driven.
If required, additionally secure the crane with chocks to prevent
it from rolling away on downhill slopes.
When using the parking brake as an emergency brake, do not
move the lever (14) suddenly, but slowly and evenly. The braking
effect can thus be applied infinitely variable. Do not allow the
lever to lock in place!
Only use the parking brake for parking or in the case of an
emergency.
Never drive with a defective brake system.
8.4 Brake Pressure Limit
(Optional equipment / national regulations)
For special transport conditions with reduced axle loads (for
special national regulations) the vehicle can be equipped with a
brake pressure limit.
Observe the permitted axle loads and drive carefully.
Observe the information sign in the drivers cab.
Instructions on exceptional cases can be found in section 6 of
these operating instructions.

8.5 Retarder Brakes
(Z 52 136, Z 62 770)
The standard crane vehicle is fitted with two sustainedaction
brakes (exhaust brake, hydraulic retarder).
Both are actuated using the combination switch (3). When
switching on (lever at level I) the indicator light (38) lights up.
Risk of skidding!
Do not activate the exhaust brake / retarder on a slippery
road surface. The wheels can lock.
The sustainedaction brake is automatically switched off as long
as there is ABS control. However, the indicator light (38) does not
go out. Afterwards, the operating mode most recently activated
is switched on.
In switching step I, only the exhaust brake is activated; from
switching step II onward, the hydraulic retarder is activated as
well. Depending on the lever position, the brake effect is
increased steadily from the first to the last step.
Lever in position
0 = switched off
I = exhaust brake
II V = exhaust brake + retarder, 4 steps
Especially when driving down longer downhill stretches, use the
sustainedaction brakes. Also in normal driving conditions, the
nonwearing sustainedaction brakes should be used where
possible for braking.
The effect of the exhaust brake and the hydraulic retarder is
dependent on the engine speed.
The higher the rpm/speed, the greater the braking effect.
The accelerator must not be pressed when the
sustainedaction brakes are in operation!
The correct gear level must be selected before a down-
hill/uphill stretch is reached at which the speed can be
held at a constant level.
The effect of a sustainedaction brake is interrupted dur-
ing a gear change. The vehicle can accelerate during
downhill driving.

Manual Driving Operation
The exhaust brake is deactivated by the system when changing
gears. After changing gears, the exhaust brake is automatically
activated again.
Automatic Driving Operation
When activating the exhaust brake the system automatically
switches back to the gear for which there is the maximum braking
performance.
8.5.1 Engine Brake (Exhaust Brake and Constant Throttle)
The engine brake consists of a combination of exhaust brake and
constant throttle.
The constant throttle valve is closed during normal operation.
When the exhaust brake is activated, it opens constantly and
increases the braking effect by reduced compression.
When the combination switch (3) is activated (lever in position
I), the exhaust brake is switched on; the indicator light (38) is
illuminated.
The exhaust brake is only effective at an engine speed of more
than 900 U/min. If the engine speed falls below 900 U/min, the
exhaust brake is automatically switched off (and switched back
on again when the speed increases).
The exhaust brake is deactivated even with an engine speed
over 2300 min

8.5.2 Hydraulic Retarder (System ZF Intarder)
(Z 52 136, Z 62 770)
The retarder is an additional hydrodynamic brake which is
integrated in the transmission and functions without causing
wear.
The hydraulic retarder is switched on by activating the
combination switch (3) (lever in position IIV); the indicator light
(38) is illuminated. The brake effect is increased steadily from the
first to the last step.
Using the retarder has no effect on changing speed gear.
If the clutch is applied (for switching gears), the braking force of
the retarder remains unchanged.
Depending on the engine speed, the retarder is activated with a
short time delay.
When the hydraulic retarder is used, heat is created in the
transmission.
The transmission oil temperature is monitored indirectly (via
the coolant temperature of the engine) with the help of the
preheating indicator (B13) in the driver information display.
Before and during downhill driving, make sure that the
engine speed does not fall below 1600 U/min. Otherwise,
sufficient cooling is not ensured.
You might have to switch back a gear in order to increase
speed and therefore water pump and fan performance.
If the oil temperature rises to unauthorised values (over 1505 C)
which leads to a coolant temperature which is too high the
retarder performance must be reduced until the coolant
temperature has reached a steady state of less than 955 C.
If the retarder output is not regulated by the driver, the system
automatically reduces the braking effect until the permissible
temperature has been reached (again).
When the retarder braking effect has been reduced, the indicator
light (38) starts to flash.
The reduced braking effect must be taken into consideration
and driving must be adapted (gear selection, service brake).
Following longer downhill stretches with the retarder
switched on, the engine can only be switched off when the
temperature indicator has returned to the permitted range.

8.5.3 Function SustainedAction Brake Cruise Control
Using the function Sustainedaction brake cruise control a set
(fixed) speed can be kept at a constant level during a downhill
stretch within the limits of the existing braking capacity (engine
brake torque, gear level).
The sustainedaction brake cruise control is activated using the
actuating lever (3) on the righthand side of the steering column.
The preheating indicator (A21) of the driver display (43) is
illuminated.
The sustainedaction brake cruise control can only be activated
if the sustainedaction brake is switched on (= lever position IV).
The desired driving speed according to the speedometer can
be selected and fixed (lever position 6 or 7) in any lever position.
The electronic system saves the driving speed set in this way.
The saved speed is maintained when the braking effect of the
sustainedaction brake is sufficient.
If the current driving speed is lower than the set speed, the
sustainedaction brake remains without function. If speed attains
the saved value again, the sustainedaction brake becomes
active again.
If speed is increased while the sustainedaction brake cruise
control is activated, the vehicle returns to the saved speed after
the driving pedal has been released.
If speed is to be reduced to lower than the currently set speed
using the sustainedaction brake, the sustainedaction brake
cruise control must be switched off first (tap gearshift position 4).
Then the driving speed can be reduced manually via the different
levels (lever positions IV) of the sustainedaction brake. To do
so, the speed must be set again from lever positions 6 / 7 as
described above.
A saved speed is automatically deleted if the ignition is switched
off.

8.6 AntiBlockingSystem (ABS)
The vehicle is equipped with the blocking protection ABS.
The ABS circuit covers all axles (of the vehicle) and possibly a
dolly as well.
The function is monitored as follows:
Lamps B29 + 32 for the vehicle axles.
Lamps B30 + 31 for possible dolly axles / additional axle /
dummy axle.
The ABS stops the wheels from blocking when the vehicle starts
driving at walking speed independent of the surface of the road
(water, iciness).
During ABS control, the sustainedaction brake is automatically
switched off. However, the indicator light (38) does not go out.
Afterwards, the operating mode most recently activated is
switched on.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
ABS does not free you from driving in a way that is suit-
able for traffic and road conditions. Tracking and steer-
ing of the vehicle are improved.
For example, ABS is not able to prevent the conse-
quences of keeping too small a safety distance or of in-
creased curve speeds.

8.6.1 ABS: Full function / offroad mode
ABS is always active, however, the driver can switch it to
Offroad mode using key (104).
ABS in Offroad mode is indicated by indicator light (32)
flashing.
The brake path can be reduced on open country or unpaved
roads (i.e. soft or extremely bumpy surfaces as well as sloping
roads) by switching ABS over to Offroad mode.
The control is speeddependent; at higher speeds the ABS
control also switches to full function when in Offroad mode.
ABS can be switched over when the vehicle is at a standstill (key
in the ignition lock in driving position) or during driving.
After the engine has been switched off and started again, full
function is automatically activated. When driving off the road,
switch ABS over again.
The offroad mode may not be used in public traffic.
8.6.2 ABS Functions Check / Fault Display
Every time the ignition is switched on, the signal connections to
the instrument panel are checked again.
The indicator lights (32 / 31) must light up for a short period of
time.
The preheating indicators (B29, B30) are only displayed if there
is damage.
Once the dual control signal goes silent (approx. 30 sec.) the
function check has been completed.
The indicator lights (31, 32) must light up for a short period
of time and must have gone out after the acoustic check
signal sounds.
Blocking protection is not ensured if the displays for
functions check do not light up or do not go out after the
check signal.
The preheating indicators (B29, B30) may not be illuminated.
If they are illuminated, blocking protection is not ensured at
the individual axles.

RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
If an ABS fault is displayed, (CAUTION (35) would light
up at the same time), the braking behaviour of the ve-
hicle can change.
Drive especially carefully.
Have the fault rectified immediately at a specialist ga-
rage.
8.6.3 Braking with ABS
In case of danger, fully activate the brake pedal. This ensures
that all wheels are controlled and an optimum deceleration of
the vehicle is achieved.
During ABS control, the sustainedaction brake is
automatically switched off. However, the indicator light (38)
does not go out.
If you drive with a dolly without ABS, it can overbrake if you
have to make an emergency stop. In this case, the driver
must observe the towed vehicle in the rearview mirror. The
towing vehicle with ABS remains steerable; This means that
the driver can keep his towed vehicle steady.
If the indicator lights (31) ABS control, dolly or (32) ABS
control, vehicle light up, ABS will not function (defective) for
the dolly or towing vehicle.
If only the indicator light (31) ABS control, dolly lights up, the
dolly can overbrake. In this case, the driver must observe the
towed vehicle in the rearview mirror. The towing vehicle
(with ABS) remains steerable; This means that the driver can
keep his towed vehicle steady.
If indicator light (32) ABS control, vehicle light up, ABS is in
Offroad mode.
8.6.4 ABS with Dolly Operation
(Z 53 769)
If the crane vehicle has been fitted with a dolly coupling (optional)
ex works, there is a special ABS socket (4) for the transfer of the
ABS function at the rear of the vehicle rear.
4 ABS socket 7pole)
When using a dolly, the relevant regulations must be observed
(e.g. if for example ABS is required due to the number of axles).

9 Steering
9.1 General System Description
The steering of the crane chassis consists of a hydraulic
twocircuit steering system and electrohydraulic rearaxle
steering (auxiliary steering system).
The direction of travel is mainly determined by the rigidly
connected front axles.
The rear axles, controlled by the program, are aligned and are
steered electrohydraulically, depending on the speed.
A computer monitors the control of the electrohydraulic
rearaxle steering. Possible fault codes can be read out there.
(For information pertaining to this, see Steering computer / fault
diagnosis / fault list)
Various steering programs are available for road travel and
construction site operation.
The oil supply of the hydraulic components consists of two
enginedependent driven steering pumps and a
drivingdependent driven emergency steering pump.
During driving the emergency steering pump which is driven by
the moving crane controls the delivery rate from the main pump
2 and deactivates it as soon as the delivery rate is sufficient to
supply steering circuit 2.
If a steering circuit fails or in case of engine failure during
driving, the crane vehicle can still be steered until it comes to a
standstill. It does require increased effort, however, to move the
steering wheel and the steering reacts slower.

9.2 Safety Instructions
9.2.1 Safety instructions for protecting the system
Adjustments to the steering system may only be carried out
by our customer service.
Inspections / maintenance work must be carried out by
specialist personnel.
When working on the vehicle (painting, welding) suitable
measures must be put in place to protect the electronic
components (protection against overloading and static
charging).
In particular when carrying out welding work the steering
computer must be removed from the vehicle.
Never remove live plug connections.

9.2.2 Safety instructions for the protection of life and limb
for maintenance / service work
Caution risk of crushing!
When working on the steering system (e.g. inspections,
maintenance / service work, manual emergency steering)
there is an increased risk of crushing in the area of the
axles, wheels and track rods.
Always ensure that you have sufficient space for safe
movement.
Unauthorised persons must stay well clear of the turning
area of axles, wheels and track rods.
For maintenance work in the turning area of axles,
wheels and track rods, it must be ensured that these are
prevented from turning (switch off engine or deactivate
steering system).
If servicing is required (e.g. balancing the angle trans-
ducers), particular caution is required.
It must be ensured that no movements can occur on
axles, wheels, or track rods. This can be achieved by
switching off the engine or removing the connector at the
corresponding nonreturn valves.
Caution following servicing work!
Errors in the steering system can lead to axle move-
ments. When starting the engine, keep a safe distance
from the axles; nobody should be in the turning area of
axles, wheels and track rods.
Caution with the manual emergency steering control!
Particular care is required in case of manual emergency
steering. When actuating the valves for manual emer-
gency steering, the track rods and the wheels on the af-
fected axle will turn.

9.3 Monitoring functions for all steering programs
The most important components of the steering system (function
of the steering / emergency steering pumps and
electrichydraulic rearaxle steering) are monitored
electronically.
Faults are displayed on the drivers information screen (43) by
means of the following indicator lights:
B2 Fault electrichydraulic rearaxle steering
B8 Steering circuit 1 no flow
B9 Steering circuit 2 no flow
B10 Steering circuit 3 (emergency steering) no flow
The indicator lights can be displayed as either pink, white, yellow
or red.
The meaning of the colours is described in detail in section 4
(Drivers cab) Basic display / Meaning of colours.
Each time the ignition is switched on the electronic system
checks the signal connections to the instrument board.
Once the dual control signal goes silent (approx. 30 sec.) the
function check has been completed.
A pinkcoloured massage means that the function cannot be
monitored, because of a fault concerning the relevant
connection; e.g. short circuit or interruption.
In the case of pinkcoloured messages, the display Caution
(36) automatically lights up as well.
When an indicator light lights up at the same time as the
warning light caution (36) there is a malfunction.
Determine the cause of the malfunction and remedy the
problem as quickly as possible.
If an indicator light lights up at the same time as the red
warning light STOP (35) there is a serious malfunction.
The operational reliability of the vehicle is endangered.
Switch off the vehicle immediately and rectify the fault.

(Z 52 123)
After rectifying the fault the warning display can be reset by
switching off the ignition for approx. 10 seconds. This also serves
to check that the fault has actually been rectified.
Equally, if an indicator light lights up, the system can be reset to
try and remedy the fault. To this end, stop the vehicle, switch off
the engine (switch off the ignition approx. 10 seconds) and
restart.
9.3.1 Monitoring the steering / emergency steering pump
The steering / emergency steering pump is monitored by the
indicator lights (B8 / B9 / B10) to ensure that it is working correctly.
These have the following meaning:
B8: Steering circuit 1 (main pump 1) no flow
B9: Steering circuit 2 (main pump 2) no flow
B10: Steering circuit 3 (emergency steering pump) no flow
Depending on the system, in case of the fault No throughfeed
at the emergency steering pump (indicator light B10) , there is
a display only once driving speeds > approx. 8 km/h have been
reached.
The indicator lights (B8, B9 and B10) must not light up as
a rule.
If one of these indicator lights is illuminated in red (at the
same time STOP (36) is displayed), there is a danger-
ous fault in the steering hydraulics.
The crane must be stopped immediately and the damage
rectified. Never drive with a defective steering system!
In the case of a pinkcoloured message, a function display is not
possible as there is a faulty connection. (See Notes under
Monitoring functions in this section).
Function check
Regular inspections must be carried out to ensure that all
steering units, control units and monitoring equipment are fully
functional. Check for irregularities, e.g. leaks or pinkcoloured
indicator lights / changing displays.

9.3.2 Monitoring the electrohydraulic rear axle steering
The function of the electrichydraulic rearaxle steering is
monitored during driving by an alarm buzzer and the indicator
light (B2).
The preheating indicator (B2) signals a fault in the
electrohydraulic rearaxle steering of the basic unit.
The warning buzzer sounds additionally for each new fault and
in the event of faulty operation during a program change.
The indicator light (B2) must not light up.
If it lights up red (at the same time STOP (36) would
also be displayed), there is a dangerous malfunction in
the electrohydraulic rearaxle steering of the basic unit.
The crane must be stopped immediately and the damage
rectified. Never drive with a defective steering system!
In the case of a pinkcoloured message, a function display is not
possible as there is a faulty connection. (see Notes under
Monitoring functions in this section).
Function check
Check all steering components regularly for mechanical damage,
corrosion and wear.
In particular pay attention to the angle transducers on the front
/ rear axles and their steering (fixed properly, no corrosion).
Corroded parts must be replaced.

9.4 Steering programs
9.4.1 Selection of the Steering Programme Road Travel
or
Construction Site Operation
With the lockable switch Enable steering programs (92) the
system can be set to the steering program road travel (switch
not actuated) or construction site mode (switch actuated). For
construction site mode the indicator light (A6) lights up.
The system can be changed back to the road travel program
from all steering programs.
For normal road travel no special measures need to be carried
out (no actuation of switch!).
Briefly, for road travel, the program narrow curving travel can
be used.
For the purpose of road travel, all axles must be in the
synchronous position for the steering program road travel
(information on this available under synchronisation of wheels
when changing the program in this section).
For the special construction site mode there are various
steering programs
Manual rear axle steering,
Narrow curving travel,
Driving away from the wall and
Diagonal steering,
which using various switches / buttons need to be selected
case by case. The driving speed is limited.
It is only possible to switch from road travel to construction site
operation (switch 92) when the speed is below the max.
permissible speed of 5 km per hour.
Road travel remains active until a corresponding steering
programme is selected.
Each selected steering program is assigned to a certain display.
The display follows in the form of an indicator light on the screen
(43) Drivers information. A white indicator light shows a
preselected steering program; a yellow indicator light shows the
steering program that is currently active.

9.4.2 Steering program road travel
(Z 52125, Z 160 025)
Caution, the vehicle swerves out.
The steering program road travel must be selected for driving
on public highways.
In the program road travel the axles are steered as follows:
Front axles 1 and 2 (rigidly coupled) with the steering wheel.
Rear axles 4 and 5 using the electrichydraulic rearaxle
steering (depending on the driving speed).
(Axle 3 cannot be steered = rigid axle).
For driving speeds < 20 km/hour, the steered rear axles steer
around the steering centre of the front axles.
For driving speeds > 20 km/h the steering lock of the rear axles
is reduced as the speed increases.
The rear axles no longer steer for driving speeds > 45 km/h.
Caution !
For road travel switch (92) Enable steering programs may
not be actuated and the related indicator light (A6) must not
light up.
In addition the indicator light (B2) Error electrichydraulic
rearaxle steering must not light up.
When the indicator light (B2) lights up together with the
warning light caution (36) the system has recognised a
malfunction. Determine the cause of the malfunction and
remedy the problem as quickly as possible.
Caution RISK OF ACCIDENTS !
When one of the indicator lights (A6 or B2) lights up to-
gether with the STOP display (35) and the warning
buzzer sounds, the operational reliability of the steering
is no longer guaranteed.
Stop the vehicle immediately; there is a serious risk of
accidents. Never drive with a defective steering system!

9.4.2.1 Narrow cornering for road travel
(Z 160 026)
When turning/manoeuvring through a small radius, for example
as in the road travel mode the steering program tight
cornering can be selected when the crane is driven at speeds of
V < 20 km/h).
With the steering program Tight cornering, the 4th axle turns
more sharply than during normal onroad driving (as soon as a
steering angle of >85% is reached at axle 1) .
This achieves a smaller turning radius albeit with increased tyre
wear.
Switch on steering program Tight cornering:
Reduce driving speed to < 20 km/h.
Press button (86) (Narrow cornering is preselected).
The indicator light (A3) appears (first in white).
Continue to reduce driving speed to < 5 km/h.
The selected programme is activated;
The indicator light (A3) changes from the colour white to
yellow.
If the driving speed is not reduced to < 5 km/h within 20 seconds
of the program being selected, the previously active steering
program (road travel) is automatically selected.
Switch off the steering program narrow road travel:
Press button (86) again.
The indicator light (A3) changes from the colour yellow to
white.
Synchronise axles (information on this under
Synchronising the axles during programme change in this
section).
In a usually rolling machine, the steering angle of axle 4 is
automatically synchronised with other steering axles after
a short stretch.
As soon as the synchronised position has been achieved,
the indicator light (A3) goes out.
When a driving speed > 20 km/h is reached, Tight cornering is
also automatically switched back off again; The indicator light
(A3) goes out.

9.4.3 Steering program construction site mode
(Z 200 276, Z 52 128)
Depending on the selected programme, the steered rear axles
are steered by the monitoring programme, corresponding with
the front axles (axles 1 and 2) (computercontrolled separate
hydraulic circuit).
The nonsteered axle 3 (lift axle) can be raised by the driver
from case to case (information on this under raising / lowering
the lift axle). The pressure gauges assigned to the raised axle
(6) and (9) do not display pressure in this case.
Through the various steering programs the following steering
figures are possible:
Manual rearaxle steering (steering figure A)
Narrow cornering (steering figure B)
Driving away from the wall (steering figure C)
Diagonal steering (steering figure D)
Enabling of the steering program construction site mode is
only permitted:
on construction sites / nonpublic highways
if the crane is in the transportation state
(boom set down, axle loads max. 17 t)
The ground conditions must be suitable for driving, i.e. flat and
even ground, no dips or rises in the ground, no obstructions.
The ground must be able to support the individual axle loads (up
to 17 t) and the overall weight.
The indicator light (B2) fault electrichydraulic rearaxle
steering, with which the electrichydraulic rearaxle
steering is monitored, must not light up.
When it lights up together with the STOP display (35)
DRIVING IS PROHIBITED!

(Z 52 134)
Observe the following when using the steering programme
constructionsite operation:
If the lift axle is raised, this inevitably results in increased
axle loads on the remaining axles on the ground.
After the lift axle is raised with the vehicle stationary a
pressure of 260 bar must not be exceeded on any of the
pressure gauges (5, 8) and (7, 10).
For reasons of stability, the suspension must be set to the
fourcircuit system.
The differential locks must not be actuated in the steering
figures manual rearaxle steering and diagonal
steering.
With the steering figures tight cornering and driving away
from the wall switching the differential locks on must be
avoided.
The crane may only be driven at walking speed (max. 5
km/h).

9.4.3.1 Shared characteristics of all steering programs for
the construction site mode
The basic release of the various steering programmes
Construction site operation is done by pressing the switch
(92) at speeds < 5 km/h.
At higher speeds the switch (92) can be activated, however,
there will be no release of the steering programmes
Construction site operation. In this case, the buzzer
sounds.
In steering programmes Construction site operation only
driving speeds up to 20 km/h can be achieved (speed lock).
The speed lock is only effective as long as the wheels are
not synchronised (again).
If the preselected steering programme is not active within
20 seconds, the system automatically switches back to the
previously active steering programme.
The programmes can only be selected at low speed (V <
5 km/h); they are only activated once the axles have been
synchronised.
Normally lift axle (axle 3) remains on the ground; however,
it can be raised by the driver, in order to reduce the tyre
wear. (Information on this under Raising/lowering the lift
axle in this section.)
It is only possible to raise / lower the lift axle when the
vehicle is at a standstill, the hand brake is applied, the
vehicle is in the neutral position with activated transmission
and pressed switch (92).
It is only possible to lower the lift axle, if steering / turning
angles are within the permitted range (not raised for lift
axle state); Otherwise reduce the steering actions, e.g. by
turning the steering wheel (wheels straight).
When the lift axle is raised, speed is limited to < 20 km/h.
If the lift axle remains on the ground, the steering angles,
by which the rear axles are automatically steered, of the
steering figures are restricted; i.e. not restricted for Manual
rearaxle steering.
If the axles are not synchronised to the selected steering
programme, for example when limiting the steering angles
to protect against high tyre wear, each indicator light does
not appear in yellow but in white.

The rear axles steer according to the position of the front axles
and manual activation using the dual button (85). Manual
steering of the rear axles enables steering movements to the left
or right, independent of the position of the front axles.
The front and rear axles are aligned geometrically correctly
(within their combination).
The vehicle speed is limited.
There is no limit to the steering angle against increased tyre wear
(steering error); not even if the lift axle remains on the ground.

9.4.4 Synchronising the wheels when changing program
Synchronisation means that the wheels of all steered axles are
brought into one specified position in accordance with the
individual steering program.
The change to a different steering program is complete once all
axles have been synchronised.
The change between the individual steering programs can only
be carried out once all axles have been synchronised.
Synchronisation can be achieved by:
Driving off
Moving the vehicle at speeds over 2 km/h.
While the unit is rolling, the steering angle of the rear axles
is automatically synchronised with the other steering axles
after a short stretch
or
Operation of keys during standstill
Continuous operation of the relevant steering programme
key during standstill; the axles automatically move to the
desired position, as long as the key is pressed.
When changing back to the steering programme Road
travel, synchronisation to the road travel state can be
achieved by continuously pressing the switch Narrow
cornering (E 141). To do so, the wheels of the front axles
must be aligned in the straightahead position.
If the adjustment force of the steering cylinders is not
sufficient to reach the desired position, e.g. if there is an
obstacle on the ground, the vehicle must be driven to another
spot.
or
Steering movements when stationary
Larger steering movements to the front axle when stationary
by adjusting the steering wheel (right / left).
With this procedure, the socalled capture of the
electrichydraulic steered axles, these are individually
moved along with the front axles. As soon as the front axles
are moved, the rear axles begin to synchronise.
An axle that is not positioned in the specified geometry, is
automatically positioned to the value preset by the selected
program (synchronised) at the latest when the vehicle starts to
move.
When synchronising in a stationary position, the procedure can
be assisted by releasing the retaining brake.

16. Carry out a visual check to make sure that the raised wheels
of axle 3 are actually clear of the ground.
9.4.5.2 Lower the Lift axle
It is only possible to lower the lift axle, if steering / turning angles
are within the permitted range (not raised for lift axle condition);
Otherwise reduce the steering actions, e.g. by turning of steering
wheel (wheels straight).
1. Stop vehicle; apply parking brake; transmission in neutral!
2. Switch off the switch raise lift axle (102) (lock).
The raised Lift axle is lowered to the ground again.
The indicator light (A14) goes out.
3. If the Lift axle is on the ground, a pressure of 105 bar is built
up automatically again in the separated suspension circuits
(II / V) and they are connected again to the individual overall
suspension circuit (III or VI).
4. The overall level must be checked for road travel (relevel if
required).

9.5.2 Registration of a fault
The electrichydraulic rearaxle steering has a selfdiagnosis
system.
When the system recognises a fault, this is displayed to the driver
on the display (43) drivers information by the indicator light (B2)
and additionally signalled by the warning buzzer.
Although they cannot be seen by the driver while driving, all
errors are displayed simultaneously at the relevant steering
computer (main steering computer: display A ; no display at
steering computer: at doubledigit segment display)
Active faults are always displayed with the indicator light (B2).
If the vehicle is moving when a fault occurs, the warning
buzzer also sounds.
The warning buzzer sounds whenever the crane moves off
in the faulty condition.
Faults that occur remain active until the ignition is switched
off, regardless of whether the fault still exists or not.
An active fault is automatically stored in the error memory.
9.5.2.1 Fault display on the display (43) drivers
information
Caution !
When the indicator light (B2) lights up together with the
warning light caution (36) the system has recognised a
malfunction. Determine the cause of the fault and rectify as
soon as possible.
An attempt can be made to rectify the fault by resetting the
system. To this end, stop the vehicle, switch off the engine
(switch off the ignition approx. 10 seconds) and restart.
Caution RISK OF ACCIDENTS !
When the indicator light (B2) lights up together with the
STOP display (35) and the alarm buzzer sounds, the
operational reliability of the steering is no longer guaran-
teed.
Stop the vehicle immediately; there is a serious risk of
accidents. Never drive with a defective steering system!

9.6 Manual emergency steering
Caution, increased risk of crushing!
When the valves for the manual emergency steering con-
trol are actuated the track rods and the wheels move on
the affected axle. In the case of manual emergency steer-
ing, particular caution is therefore required.
Make sure that you have sufficient space to move in
freely.
If the steering computer fails, the electrical current is cut off to all
valves; i.e. the steered rear axles are only locked in their current
position.
To be able to adjust these axles without the computer being
active, the steering system is equipped with a manual emergency
steering control. This enables the nonreturn valves (Y) to be
moved from their locked position, thus releasing the axles.
Subsequently, each individual axle can be moved into a useable
position by manual actuation of the solenoid valves (X1 / X2), for
example to move the vehicle out of a hazardous area. The
requirement for this is that the steering hydraulics are available
(vehicle engine running).
Each axle has its own valve block with nonreturn valve (Y) and
solenoid valve (valve tappet X1 / X2) assigned to it. The valve
block is at point A of the undercarriage under the aluminium
cover.
Caution RISK OF ACCIDENTS !
For normal operation, the nonreturn valves must not be
actuated manually.
They may only be used in a case of emergency; e.g. in
order to remove the vehicle from a danger area. The
check valves must then immediately jump back to their
initial position.
If the check valves do not jump back to their initial posi-
tion, e.g. because they are stuck, then safe steering is no
longer ensured. The axles can change position in an un-
controlled fashion. Safety risk!

Steps for positioning an axle
1. Stop vehicle; apply parking brake; secure against rolling
away; transmission in neutral; engine running.
2. Release axle:
Operate check valve (Y) by pressing the button (Y1) in the
blue anodised knurled nut; keep button pressed.
The axle is no longer locked as long as this button is pressed.
3. Move axle:
to the left: valve tappet, press left (X1).
to the right: valve tappet, press right (X2).
4. Lock axle:
If the axle is in the desired position (usually this will be the
straight ahead position):
Release the valve tappet (X1 / X2).
The axle no longer moves.
Let go of button (Y1); the valve anchor will jump back to its
initial position.
The axle is locked again.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
If the check valve is not set back to its initial position, the
relevant axle can shift in an uncontrolled manner during
driving.
Differential Locks 10
1402100 1/7
10 Differentials / Differential Locks
10.1 Differentials
To distribute the drive torque to the driven wheels and to adapt
the wheel speeds when driving through curves the following
differentials (drive assemblies) are fitted:
Longitudinal differential in the distributor gear
The distributor gear forms a unit with axle 3.
Longitudinal Differential in the Axles
The longitudinal differential is fitted in axle 4.
Activating axle 3:
Axle 3 is activated by activating the longitudinal lock in axle
4.
Transverse Differential
A transverse differential is fitted in each drive axle.
10.2 Differential Locks
The differentials in the distributor gear and axles which work
lengthways and the transverse differentials can be locked.
In the locked condition, there is a rigid connection between the
two outputs of the differentials.
The differential locks need to be switched on in the following
circumstances:
A wheel of a drive axle is standing on a loose surface and is
spinning:
The transverse differentials must be locked.
Both wheels of a drive axle are spinning:
The longitudinal differentials must be locked.
Only in extreme cases may both differential locks be switched on
together.
If the differential locks are switched on, you may only drive
at walking speed.
The differential locks may not be activated in the steering
figures Manual rearaxle steering and Diagonal
steering.
You must avoid activating the differential locks during
steering figures Narrow cornering and Driving away from
the wall.

1402100 3/7
10.3 Activating the Differential Locks
When the differentials are locked there is a risk of parts of the
drive being overloaded. Extreme caution is always required when
driving the crane with the differentials locked.
Only use the differential locks to drive on difficult territory
(sand, mud, loose ground).
Only switch on differential locks shortly before reaching an
obstacle and switch them off immediately after the obstacle.
Only switch on and off when the crane is at a standstill. There
is an extremely high risk of the crane being damaged if the
differential locks are switched on when the drive wheels are
turning.
When the longitudinal differential is locked, the steering can
be actuated with extreme caution.
When the transverse differential is locked, the crane may
only be driven in a straight line.
Only use differential locks when the crane is in the transport
condition. Under no circumstances may they be used when
the crane is erected!
Drive carefully! Do not start or stop abruptly! Do not apply
full throttle!
When the differentials are locked, never drive on longer
stretches or on solid surfaces with good traction.

11 Hydraulic Suspension
(Z 52 145, Z 200 151)
All axles of the crane chassis have hydraulic suspension.
During normal use (e.g. when driving on the road) the hydraulic
suspension is divided into four separate circuits.
When driving on road surfaces which are very uneven (extreme
ramps, slopes, humps), the suspension can be switched over to
a threecircuit system to improve road handling.
You switch to the threecircuit system by pressing the lockable
switch (99).
When indicator light (A6) comes on, the suspension is in the
threecircuit system.
Driving with the threecircuit system means less lateral
stability. The max. road speed should therefore not exceed
15 km/hour.
When the cranes equipment is erected, it must be driven
with the fourcircuit system.
All operating and monitoring equipment is located in the cab of
the chassis.
You can call up the current settings of the suspension circuits on
display (43) under menu point 4.1 Suspension levels. (Example
middle position Z 200 151)
Proceed with caution when carrying out adjustment
work! Risk of crushing!
Make sure that noone is in the danger zone of the verti-
cally extending / retracting suspension cylinders.

11.2 Setting for Driving in the Transport Position
(Z 35 554, Z 52 148, Z 51 302)
11.2.1 General
When driving the mobile crane in the transport position
(construction site or road travel) the suspension must be at the
road travel level (all suspension cylinders in the road travel
position).
In this case, the gap of the fastening eyes on the suspension
cylinders (measurement X ) is 630 mm. Only this state ensures
that there is sufficient suspension travel for driving operation.
At the road travel level the suspension travel is + 110 / 110 mm
(110 mm to the top / 110 mm to the bottom).
The hydraulic suspension can only be set if:
Hold axles is activated (display (A13) lights up).
Raise axles is activated (display (A15) lights up).
Raise all axles is activated on the switch panel of the outrigger
controls (button 9/19).
First Hold axles (button 101) must be actuated in the cab.
When the Lift axle is raised (steering program Construction site
operation), the suspension circuits only react partially. The two
front ones can be set, the two rear ones cannot (with the
exception of axle 3).
The levels of the suspension circuits can either be set together
(dual button 76) or individually (dual buttons 78 / 79 / 80 / 81).
11.2.2 Automatic setting road travel level
Using the AUTO (77) button the road travel level is set
automatically.
The road travel level is the condition for normal driving operation.
All suspension cylinders are located in the road travel position.
The individual suspension travel movements equal 110 / +110
mm.
The requirement for smooth functioning is a level, even road
surface (no potholes, no lateral gradient).

Using manual setting of the level, the individual suspension
circuits can be set independently of each other. Each level in the
entire range of the suspension movement (between 0 and 220)
can be set.
Manual level setting is only possible when standing still (parking
brake applied, transmission in neutral).
Starting position:

To level the crane quickly and/or evenly, different (or all) circuits
must be filled or emptied at the same time.
It is not possible to set circuits in different directions (filling one
circuit while emptying another) at the same time.

Information for setting the overall level:
The difference with this compared to the individual settings is that
all suspension circuits can be reset together using key (76). Any
possibly existing level differences remain.
Press / hold key (76A) = raise total level
Press / hold key (76B) = lower total level.
Check: On display (43) under menu point 4.1 Suspension
levels.
With the manual level setting, the suspension cylinders can
be extended / retracted up to the stop (in a block). In this
case make sure that the pressures shown at the middle
position are not exceeded. It is prohibited to drive
suspension cylinders that are set to in a block.
11.2.3.3 Setting the Suspension Circuits (Threecircuit
System)
The suspension circuits are normally set in the fourcircuit
system (road travel).
However, the setting can also be made in the threecircuit
system (offroad travel).
Make sure that the two front circuits react correspondingly; even
when only one of the assigned dual buttons (78, 79) are
activated.

11.3 Monitoring the Hydraulic Suspension
11.3.1 Monitoring the Pressure
(Z 52 147, Z 53 786)
For constant control of the pressure in the hydraulic suspension,
there are corresponding pressure gauges (items 510) in the
drivers cab.
The desired value of the suspension pressure can only be
determined precisely after the suspension cylinders have been
levelled.
With a 12 t axle load, the suspension pressure should be
approximately 105 bar (average value) and can be different for
each suspension circuit.
If the suspension system is switched to road travel, the
suspension pressure can fall on one side and rise on the other
side of the vehicle when driving around corners.
If the suspension pressure falls abruptly in one of the
suspension circuits during road travel, or / and the level
changes noticeably (display B1 is illuminated), the
suspension has a dangerous malfunction.
In this case you must stop the mobile crane, find the cause
of the fault and rectify it.

11.3.2 Level Control, Level Indicator
(Z 52 149)
Level control of the suspension circuits takes place on the display
(43) in the drivers cab. The current level of the individual
suspension circuits is indicated with symbols under menu point
4.1 Suspension level.
Symbol (A): suspension circuit I (front, right)
Symbol (B): suspension circuit III (rear, right)
Symbol (C): suspension circuit IV (front, left)
Symbol (D): suspension circuit VI (rear, left)
A level indicator has been assigned to each suspension circuit
which consists of fixed vertical bars (1) and a piston (2) which
moves up and down as the level goes up or down.
In the roadtravel level
the bar (1) is coloured green and the piston (2) is in the middle
of the bar corresponding to the road travel position of the
suspension cylinders.
In all intermediate positions
outside the road travel level the bar (1) is coloured yellow and the
piston (2) moves further upwards or downwards.
Carry out a level check on level, even ground with the wheels
facing straight ahead.
Deviating suspension circuits must be reset.
If constant deviations occur, the suspension must be
checked by our customer service.

11.4 to lock the suspension
The hydraulic suspension system must be blocked for driving in
an erect mode (see section 6).
When driving in the transport position (on the road and
construction site) the hydraulic suspension may not be
blocked.
If the suspension were blocked, it would cause great
damage to the chassis at speeds > 5 km/h!
11.4.1 Activating the Suspension Block
. . . Before Driving in an Erect Mode
(Z 51 302)
Driving in the erect condition always means driving wi-
thout load!
Driving with load is prohibited!
Before supporting the crane on outriggers:
Align the crane horizontally (level).
Activate switch Hold axles(101), display (A13) is illuminated.
All axles remain in the prescribed position.
The crane can be lowered onto the wheels after it has been
supported on outriggers for driving in the erect condition by
retracting the vertical outrigger cylinders.
The crane is aligned horizontally and the suspension cylinders
are in the road travel position.
Before driving in the erect mode:
The regulations for ground characteristics and road slope
(see section 6) must apply.
Extend the outrigger struts and hold the outrigger feet just
above the ground.
Before the crane is lowered onto the wheels for driving in
the erect/configured condition, all suspension cylinders must
be in the road travel position.
This is always guaranteed if the axles which are level are set to
Hold axles before extending the outriggers.

Place the crane in the condition Driving in the Erect Mode;
Steps for the Procedure:
Starting position:
The crane is supported on outriggers.
Switch (101) Hold axles is activated; display (A13) is
illuminated.
1. Retract outrigger cylinders slowly and evenly until the wheels
of all axles are pressed evenly on the ground.
Pressure check at the pressure gauge (5 to 10) in cab (see
section 12, Outriggers).
2. Switch off Hold axles with switch (101).
The display (A13) goes out.
3. Switch on Lock suspension with switch (100).
The display (A12) is illuminated.
4. Check the level of the crane (horizontal alignment) optically.
The suspension cylinders of all axles must be approximately
in the road travel position.
The clearance between the fastening eyes on the
suspension cylinder (dimension X) is then 630 mm.
If the crane is not level, extend the outrigger cylinders again
and support the crane lightly on the outriggers.
Fill up the corresponding suspension circuit by pressing
buttons (78A, 80A) for the lefthand side or (79A, 81A) for the
righthand side.
The suspension may only be filled up to a maximum sus-
pension pressure of 270 bar.
An attempt to fill the suspension up to higher pressures
can cause the suspension to sag.
5. Afterwards, retract the outrigger cylinders until the crane is
standing free on its wheels; check for horizontal alignment.
Outrigger plates just above the ground!

Z 35 554
Hydraulic Suspension 11
1402110113a 21/25
(Z 35 554)
Repeat this procedure until the crane is horizontally aligned and
level with the outrigger cylinders retracted.
Observe the road travel position of the suspension cylinders.
The suspension cylinders must be in the road travel position.
The clearance between the fastening eyes on the suspension
cylinder (dimension X) is then 630 mm.
The suspension pressure should be monitored continually.
If the pressure in one of the suspension circuits rises up to
300 bar, stop the crane immediately and extend outrigger
cylinders until the load is taken off the wheels.
Make sure the crane is evened out by resetting the hydraulic
suspension and / or correcting the boom position.
If the crane is driven further there is a risk of the crane
TIPPING or of AXLE BREAKAGE !
11.5 Height Adjustment
The level of the suspension circuits can in the context of the
suspension travel be adjusted up or down. This can be helpful,
for example
if the height clearance is too low;
if more ground space is required;
if the mobile crane is stuck on terrain;
before retracting the outriggers.
When adjusting the height, always leave some clearance to the
final upper and lower position so that there is a degree of
suspension play remaining.
In this state the suspension is only effective in a limited capacity.
Drive with extreme caution and return the level to normal
(road travel level) once the obstacle has been passed.

11.6 Raising Axles
Raise all axles when supporting on the outriggers, see section
12.
Raise Lift axle in the steering program Construction site
operation, see section 9.
11.7 Hold axles
Holding axles when supporting on outriggers, see section 12.
Driving the crane in the Hold axles position leads to heavy
damage to the hydraulic suspension.
D R I V I N G P R O H I B I T E D !
After every special setting:
Activate suspension block
Height setting
Raise axles
The hydraulic suspension must be reset for Driving in the
Transport Position.
11.8 Lowering Brake Valves in the Basic Suspension
Block
The lowering brake valves are set ex works to ensure slow and
even lowering of the suspension.
The lowering brake valves may only be adjusted by our
customer service technicians.

11.9 Selecting the Operating Modes
(Axle loads 12 t / 26.5 kip or Reduced axle loads)
(Z 56 500)
Various driving configurations are possible in the operating mode
Reduced axle loads. Examples include:
driving without main boom
driving without superstructure
driving with different axle loads < 12 t / 26.5 kip
driving with trailer (dolly operation)
Risk of accidents!
The suspension must always be set to the operating mode
in which the crane vehicle is being operated. Settings are
only to be changed when vehicle is at a standstill.
Disregarding this rule can lead to an increased risk of
accidents.
When Reduced axle loads mode is selected, only the hydraulic
suspension is set to the changed axle loads. All other
components (e.g. brake system and steering) remain
unchanged.
A releasable switch (96) is used to select the operating mode.
If the switch is set to OFF (switch position X), the suspension
is set to 12 t / 26.5 kip axle load mode.
If the switch is set to ON (switch position Y), the suspension
is set to Reduced axle loads mode.
After a new operating mode has been selected, a level check
of the suspension circuit must be carried out. If necessary,
the level should be reset.
If the equipment is operated in dolly mode, it is essential to
follow the instructions contained in the section Information
on dolly operation in chapter 6.
The suspension can be locked in both operating modes (switch
100).

12 Outriggers
12.1 Notes on Outriggers:
Always observe the following information, in order to ensure safe
working:
Before stabilising:
Main boom in longitudinal direction;
Superstructure locked in transport position.
No other persons other than the crane operator are per-
mitted in the danger zone.
Only rotate the superstructure if the crane is stabilised
on outriggers.
Always stabilise the crane before picking up loads.
During the stabilising procedure the outrigger pads
need some space for shifting movements to the sides.
Always extend outrigger struts to the appropriate pin-
ning position (coloured or arrowed marking) and pin.
For safety reasons, the outrigger struts may only be ex-
tended at the side with the corresponding switch panel.
The crane driver can thereby only extend the outrigger
struts that are always in his line of view.
Always keep both switch panels locked.
Only the switch panel that is needed directly for opera-
ting may be opened.
In order to avoid improper use, it must be locked again,
directly after use.
After being put on outriggers (before beginning work
with the crane), the tyres must no longer touch the
ground.
Extend/retract the supporting cylinders only one at a
time and only at the side that can be seen from the switch
panel.
Be particularly careful when the outrigger pads are mo-
ved to the ground. Risk of crushing!
Make sure the ground for the outrigger pads is flat and
firm; permitted inclination max. 55 (9 %)!
No foreign material (for example: stones, metal objects,
etc.) are permitted under the outrigger plates!
12
1402120193a 2/79
Outriggers 12
1402120193a
3/79
The maximum surface pressure for the standard series
outrigger pads at the front ( 600 mm/23.6 in) is approxi-
mately 260 N/cm
2
(377 psi).
This is equivalent to a force of 736 kN (75 t (165 kip)).
The maximum surface pressure for the standard series
outrigger pads at the rear ( 700 mm/27.6 in) is approxi-
mately 242 N/cm
2
(350 psi).
This is equivalent to a force of 932 kN (95 t (209 kip)).
If the loadcarrying capacity of the ground is insuffi-
cient, then the ground pressure around the outrigger
pads must be reduced with the help of backup plates
(rigging mats) (see also Permitted ground pressure).
The maximum permitted support forces must be obser-
ved.
Levelling the crane with counterweight and fitted
apparatus only to be accomplished by EXTENDING
the vertical outrigger cylinders.
See section Notes on levelling with counterweight.
In order to protect the supporting cylinders from over-
loading, they must not be extended to the limit; there
should still be a residual stroke length of 2 to 3 cm (0.8
to 1.2 in) after levelling.
The remaining lift is also necessary, so that actual sup-
port pressure values can be displayed.
Extending and retracting the supports with a load
attached is not permitted. Risk of tilting!
In order to avoid damage to the outriggers as well as
accidents in the course of driving or operating the crane,
take special care to do the following:
Unlock the supports before they are extended or
retracted.
Pin/secure the supports for work with the crane.
Pin / secure the (retracted) supports in transport
position.
Secure the outrigger pads in transport position
There is a danger of accidents, if the prescribed outrigger
span, specified in the load capacity table, is not used.
No other outrigger span is permitted HIGH RISK OF
DAMAGE !

The following supporting force values must not be
exceeded:
75 tons (165 kip) at the front supporting cylinders.
95 tons (209 kip) at the rear supporting cylinders.
Important note on complying with limit values:
The limit values to be followed are not monitored
automatically.
The support pressure display shows tolerance values. The
display value can differ from the actual value by up to
approx. 10% (plus / minus). Keep this in mind, e.g. in relation
with limited loadcarrying capacity of the ground.
While the crane is in operation, the support pressure display is
supplied with power from the superstructure via an electrical
swivelling connection.

12.3.4 Inclination Indicator
(Z 47 962, Z 60 984, Z 60 985)
The inclination of the crane is detected by an electronic
inclination transmitter and displayed at the switch panels of the
outrigger controls on the chassis.
The display consists of an electronic level indicator / bubble and
numerical values for the X and Y axes (one each).
Depending on the direction of a deviation, a negative value (with
a minus before the value) can also be displayed.
The level indicator is for general orientation; the numerical values
are definitely the decisive values.

The numerical values X and Y are always decisive. They
show the current deviation of the crane system.

12.4 Automatic Levelling
(Z 47 962, Z 60 982, Z 60 985)
The crane can also be levelled automatically (by extending the
supporting cylinders together). This is only possible when
Extending (not when Retracting) the supporting cylinders.
It is of no importance for the function, in which starting position
the supporting cylinders are.
Risk of crushing!
When levelling automatically, all supporting cylinders are
extended simultaneously; that means also those cylin-
ders that cannot be seen from the switch panel. It must
be ensured that no persons are present in the danger
zone.
Starting position:
Crane parked in transport position
Parking brake applied
Outrigger struts extended/pinned/locked
Display: diagram B (inclination)
Automatic levelling procedure (work steps):
1. Press Caution key (10 / 20) and Extend all supporting
cylinders key (8B / 18B) simultaneously.
Inverse display during Automatic operation.
The supporting cylinders are extended one after the other
until a defined supporting force has been reached. This
ensures that all supporting cylinders are on the ground
before the actual levelling procedure begins.
If supporting forces are identical, then all supporting cylinders are
extended together in this (possibly different) condition, as long as
both keys are held pressed (10 / 20) and (8B / 18B).
2. If there is sufficient clearance between wheels and the
ground (including bending after taking up a load later on), let
go of button (8B / 18B) and continue to keep Caution key
(10 / 20) pressed.

3. As soon as the crane is level (angle tolerance value 0.1
degrees), the procedure is automatically stopped. The
engines working speed switches automatically back to idle
speed.
After the procedure, the system might change the displayed
inclination value from 0.1 to 0.2. This however has no negative
effect on the required precision.
4. Let go of key (10 B / 18 B).
Make sure there is a remaining lift (2 to 3 cm/0.8 to 1.2 inch) in
the supporting cylinders; Compare supporting forces.
The system does not automatically take the remaining lift into
consideration.
If relevelling is necessary:
Press and hold caution key (10 / 20) and press Extend all
supporting cylinders key (8B / 18B) briefly.
Levelling is carried out as already described.
Combined retraction of all supporting cylinders:
Press caution key (10 / 20) and Retract all supporting cylinders
key (8A / 18A) simultaneously.

12.5 Hold Axles / Raise Axles Functions
(Z 51 302)
When the crane is on outriggers, the wheels must not touch the
ground. The functions Hold axles or Raise axles are for this
purpose.
The decision as to which function should be selected to achieve
clearance, depends on the ground conditions at the site.
If ground conditions at the site are as described in section 11.4.1
(flat, firm ground), select Hold axles .
If the ground conditions at the site are not as described in section
11.4.1, then select Raise axles .
12.5.1 Hold Axles Function
Hold axles is selected before the crane is stabilised.
All axles are locked in their initial position (aligned horizontally
and suspension cylinders in road traffic position).
If the crane is lowered back on to the wheels for moving (by
retracting the supporting cylinders), then it need not be
relevelled. It is aligned horizontally and the suspension
cylinders are in road traffic position.
12.5.1.1 Switching on Hold Axles after
Moving on the Road Suspension Is Not Locked
1. Stop the crane, switch to neutral gear, apply the parking
brake.
2. Actuate (101) Hold axles switch.
The display (A13) lights up.
If Hold axles is switched on (display A13 lights up), the
crane may no longer be moved. RISK OF BREAKAGE!
3. Support the crane (see section Extend the support)
Extend the support until no wheel is in contact with the ground.

12.5.1.2 Switching on Hold Axles after
Driving in the Configured Condition Suspension
Locked
1. Stop the crane, switch to neutral gear, apply the parking
brake.
The crane is aligned horizontally,
suspension cylinder in onroad position.
2. Extend horizontal support.
3. Extend the outrigger cylinder, until the outrigger pads are
pressed to the ground. Set the contact pressure until the
suspension pressure is still approximately 100 bar (1450
psi).
Pressure control at the pressure gauges (5, 8), (6, 7) and (9,
10).
The distance of the mounting eyelets at the suspension cylinder
is 630 mm (24.8 in.) (see Section Extending the outrigger).
4. Switch off the suspension locking system by actuating switch
(100).
The display (A12) goes out.
5. Actuate (101) Hold axles switch.
The display (A13) lights up.

12.5.2.3 Switching off Raise Axles for Driving on the Road
Suspension not Locked or Switching to Driving in
the Configured Condition Suspension Locked
The Raise axles procedure is switched off in the drivers cab via
the Hold axles button (101). All wheels are then lowered to the
ground.
1. Turn off the switch Hold axles (101) in the drivers cab. The
display (A13) goes out.
When the switch (101) in the drivers cab is turned off, all
wheels are lowered back on to the ground.
2. Actuate switch (76A). Fill all suspension circuits to
approximately 100 bar (1450 psi) (see Section 11).
Check pressure increase at the pressure gauges (5 to 10).
3. Retract supporting cylinders; Reset suspension.
Before the supporting cylinders are retracted, the wheels of
all axles must first be in contact with the ground. Then the
suspension must be readjusted (aligned horizontally and
suspension cylinder in central position; see section 11 of
these operating instructions).
If they are not readjusted, the suspension cylinders are
locked. Driving is not permitted in this condition. Damage
to undercarriage!

12.6 Measures before Stabilising:
1. Apply the parking brake.
On sloping ground in the longitudinal direction of the
vehicle, the vehicle must be prevented from rolling away by
placing wheel chocks at the axle last released.
2. Switch to neutral gear.
3. Lock the slew gear brake in the superstructure cab.
The superstructure may only be rotated if the crane is
stabilised.
4. Start crane chassis engine.
The engine can also be started at the switch panels of the
outrigger controls. To do so, the ignitionstarter switch (15) must
be in position 2 (external ignition standby). (Z 51 304)
An engine speed of 1200 U/min (rpm) is set automatically when
the outriggers are operated.

12.7 Supporting the Outrigger Plates
The loadbearing capacity of the ground must be sufficient to
absorb the maximum support forces which can occur.
Normally, the outrigger plates would not be sufficient by surface
area to set the crane up safely on backfilled or natural ground.
If necessary, increase the support area by stacking suitable
materials under the outrigger plates.
Suitable materials (for example, timbers with the same di-
mensions, special panel constructions made of wood or
metal) must be used for the support! The crane operator
must make these available.
(Z 41 654)
The struts must be in the centre of the support and must co-
ver all supporting timbers sufficiently.
Check as well whether hollow spaces such as canals, co-
vered ditches or cellars are in the planned location of the
crane and how they run. You must also take hidden dan-
gers such as melting ice or flooding into consideration.
These dangers are often the cause for cranes falling over.
In the following segment you will find details on Permitted ground
pressures of various types of ground and how to determine the
required support area.

12.7.1 Permitted Ground Pressures
(Z 53 789)
If there are doubts about the load capacity of the base at the
site, then have the ground tested.
The following load capacity values are determined according to
standard DIN 1054 for various types of ground.
Type of ground p
(kg/ cm2)
p
[psi]
Type of ground p
(kg/ cm2)
p
[psi]
A Backfilled, not artificially compacted ground 01 015
B Grown, obviously untouched ground B
Mud, peat, marsh 0 0
Noncohesive, sufficiently firm grounds:
Fine to medium sand 1.5 21
Coarse sand to gravel 2.0 28.5
Cohesive grounds:
pulpy 0 0
soft 0.4 5.7
stiff 1.0 14.2
semifirm 2.0 28.5
hard 4.0 56.9
Rock with hardly any cleavage in healthy, unwea-
thered condition and in convenient stratification:
in closed succession of beds 15.0 213.4
in massed and columnar formation 30.0 426.7
Example of noncohesive ground with fine sand (p=1.5 kg/cm
2
)
(21 psi):
The values in curve 3 apply for p=1.5 kg/cm
2
(21 psi) . (see table
above in the diagram at the side).
This results, e.g. for a supporting force of Fs=36 t (79.4 kip) in a
required surface area As of 2.4 m
2(
25.8 ft
2
) for the outrigger pad.
The standard outrigger pad at the front has a diameter of 600 mm
(support surface area 0.28 m
2
/4 ft
2
); the standard outrigger pad
at the back has a diameter of 700 mm (0.38 m
2
/4 ft
2
).
The required surface area of the outrigger is to be established
with the help of suitable bases (e.g.: support mats, wooden
planks and similar objects).
Supporting forces can be looked up e.g. in the supporting force
tables.

12.8 Safe Distance to Slopes and Pits
(Z 170 688)
Erect the crane with a sufficiently safe distance to slopes or pits.
The distance also depends on the type of ground.
The distance to the edge of a slope (X) must be at least 2 m.
A general rule is:
if the ground is loose or filled, then the safety distance (a)
must be twice the depth of the pit (b). The slope angle a must
be < 30.
if the ground is firm and not loose, then the safety distance
(a) must be equivalent to the depth of the pit (b). The slope
angle a must be < 45.
Thesafety distance is measured starting at the base of the pit (C).

12.9 Stabilising Procedure
12.9.1 Extend support (outrigger support area 8.23 m x
7.50 m/27 ft x 24.6 ft)
(Z 36 594, Z 36 595, Z 47 962, Z 47 963)
When the crane is on outriggers, the wheels must not touch the
ground (Hold axles / Raise axles functions).
Once you are sure that no obstacles or persons are in the
extension area for the supports and that all notes on dangers in
section 12.1 have been observed, then proceed as described in
the following.
1. Placing the outrigger plates in operating position
(Z 36 594, Z 36 595)
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
The contact surface between the outrigger cylinders
piston rod and the outrigger plate must be clean. In particu-
lar, no foreign matter is permitted (for example: stones,
sand, etc.).
1.1 Clean the bottom of the outrigger cylinders piston rod
and the top of the outrigger plate (if contaminated).
1.2 remove the forelocks (3) and the socket pins (2),
1.3 pull the outrigger pad (1) into support position.
1.4 Attach plug bolts and forelock again.
2. Remove locking pin X on the outrigger struts.
Open required switch panel.
Only the switch panel that is needed directly for operating
may be opened.
In order to avoid improper use, it must be locked again,
directly after use !

Righthand
side :
Press rocker switch 15B or 16B (Z 60 982)
The outrigger struts can only be extended / retracted
(horizontally) at the switch panel of the corresponding side.
Extend the outrigger struts one at a time up to the coloured
marking.
Hold on to the rocker switch while extending.
Risk of crushing!
Before extending the outrigger struts, make sure that no-
body is present in the danger area where the outrigger
struts are extended horizontally !

4. Extending the outrigger cylinders
Switch panel left side: Press rocker switch 1B, 2B, 3B or
4B.
Switch panel right side: Press rocker switch 11B, 12B, 13B
or14B.
In order to protect the supporting cylinders from
overloading, they must not be extended to the limit; a
residual stroke length of 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.2 in)should still
be left.
The remaining clearance is also necessary, so that actual
support pressure values can be displayed.
Risk of crushing!
There is a risk of crushing while the outrigger cylinders
are extended.
The outrigger cylinders may only be extended at the side
that is within the crane operators view at the switch pa-
nel.
Extend the outrigger cylinders of the relevant side until
they have made contact with the ground.
While operating the outriggers, no corrections may be
made to the positions of the outrigger pads.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
When attaching the outrigger plates in this operating step,
make sure that there is no foreign matter (for example: sto-
nes, metal objects, etc.) under the outrigger plates!
If the crane is tilted visibly, then carry out a rough correction by
further extending the appropriate outrigger cylinders. When
doing so, make sure that the outrigger cylinders can be further
extended for the following levelling procedure.
5. Attach counterweight (see load capacity table and operating
instructions for the superstructure, section 9).
6. Position superstructure in the direction of travel and thereby
position counterweight above the rear outrigger.
7. Move boom to steep position.
The slew gear brake must be released at points 5 and 6.
Now reinsert it.

8. Raise axles now
Raise axles consists of two steps:
8.1 Press the Hold axles switch (101) in the drivers cab.
The display (A13) lights up.
The axles are still on the ground.
8.2 Press and hold down the key (9/19) at the outrigger
controls.
All axles are raised.
Raise axles until no wheel is in contact with the ground.
If Hold axles was actuated before stabilising, display (A13)
lights up, then the axles do not need to be raised. However, make
sure that none of the wheels is still touching the ground.
When putting the crane on outriggers, make sure that the
ground has sufficient load bearing capacity.
The individual supporting forces are indicated at the display
of the outrigger controls (to the left and right of the chassis)
or at the PDC installation of the superstructure.
Only the current supporting forces are displayed; not those
that will occur when a load is picked up.
9. Extend rear supporting cylinder, until the lateral axis is
balanced.
Switch panel left side: Press rocker switch 3B / 4B.
Switch panel right side: Press rocker switch 11B / 12B.
10. Extend the supporting cylinders at the front, in order to also
bring the longitudinal axis in the balance.
Switch panel left side: Press rocker switch 1B / 2B.
Switch panel right side: Press rocker switch 13B / 14B.
Then use inclination indicator on the crane chassis to level
it to 0.1 (equivalent to approx. 0.2 %).
In order to achieve a most even coordination of the
supporting forces, the supporting cylinders at the front
should finally be briefly pressed further together and then
the same applies to the supporting cylinders at the rear. In
doing so, make sure that all supporting cylinders are evenly
loaded.

11. Check the set level once more.
If the lateral axis has shifted, then the levelling procedure must
be repeated.
a.) Balance the rear lateral axis.
b.) Retract the front supporting cylinder slightly and
then balance the longitudinal axis by extending.
Retracting the supporting cylinders is only permitted if
the supporting forces specified in section 12.2 are not
exceeded.
In order to level the crane precisely, it will finally be
necessary to operate all supporting cylinders from the
switch panel on one side. In this case be particularly careful,
especially when the supporting cylinders are operated that
are not in the direct line of view.
Immediately afterwards, lock the switch panel !

12.9.2 Checking the Level at the Chassis
(Z 60 985)
After each new configuration, the level of the crane must be
rechecked (see Inclination indicator).
Careful levelling is essential for safe working with the crane.
Deviations must not exceed 0.1 degrees (equivalent to
approx. 0.2 %).
The numerical values X and Y are always decisive. They
show the current deviation of the crane system.

12.9.3 Retracting the Outriggers
Retracting the outrigger is carried out in reverse sequence to the
extending procedure.
Important notes on retracting the outrigger:
Retract the outriggers separately and completely.
Unbolt only the outrigger strut to be retracted.
As soon as a support is in the transport position, insert
the transport lock.
When retracting the outrigger struts, reeving and crus-
hing movements around the retracting parts and the car-
rier frame are possible.
It must be ensured that no persons are present in the
danger zone.
Extending and retracting the supports with a load
attached is not permitted. Risk of tipping!
12.9.3.1 Retracting the Supports
. . . for Driving in transport position
(Z 51 302, Z 51 303)
1. Lower main boom to transport position.
2. Remove counterweight (see operating instructions for the
superstructure, section 9).
Risk of crushing!
When lowering the suspension / retracting the suppor-
ting cylinders, crushing movements between tyres and
ground space are possible. Watch your feet !
It must be ensured that no persons are present in the
danger zone.
3. Lock Hold axles switch (101) in Off position. The wheels
are lowered to the ground. The display (A13) goes out.
The following step Pressing down the wheels applies only if
Raise axles (switch 9 / 19) was also actuated.
4. Pressing down the wheels

(1) to transport position.
Attach plug bolts and forelock again.
8. If Raise axles was actuated:
By actuating switch (76) level all axles. See section 11
Settings for driving in transport position.
Or,
9. If Hold axles was actuated:
Lock Hold axles switch (101) in Off position. The display
(A13) goes out.
Driving in the Hold axles condition is prohibited. Damage
to undercarriage!
12.9.3.2 Retracting the Supports
. . . . for Driving in the configured condition
See section 11.4, Switching on suspension locking . . . . Before
Driving in the configured condition.
Before lowering the crane on to the wheels (for subsequent
Driving in the configured condition), always pay attention
to the permitted axle loads relating to rigging mode,
counterweights, superstructure position, main boom length
and angle (see section 6 Driving in the configured
condition).
When lowering the crane on to the wheels, check the
suspension pressure at pressure gauges (5) to (10) in the
drivers cab. It may not exceed 300 bar (4.351 psi).

12.10 Levelling with the Counterweight
Before attaching the counterweight, the crane must be
on outriggers and levelled.
After attaching the counterweight, the crane must be re
levelled in the range of 3605 (in steps of 905) .
Starting position:
Crane on outriggers; outrigger span 8.23 m x 7.50 m (27 ft x
24.6 ft).
Superstructure position 180 degrees = main boom to the rear.
Procedure for levelling with counterweight:
1. Check the supporting forces at the support pressure display
on the crane chassis (see Support pressure display).
Make sure that the supporting forces are symmetrically
balanced (left / right).
2. By adjusting the inclination of the main boom or by extending
telescope 1, distribute the load moment of the counterweight
in such a way, that the outrigger pressure on all 4 supports
is roughly identical. (Z 53 787)
3. Check the levelling of the crane, if necessary repeat the
procedure (see Checking the levelling of the chassis).
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
The levelling can be done by extending or retracting the
supporting cylinders, up to a maximum supporting force
of 50 t (110 kip).
If the supporting force of one of the 4 supports exceeds
50 t (110 kip), then the levelling procedure may only be
carried out by extending the supporting cylinders (no
longer by retraction).
However, this is only possible, if the supporting force of
the support to be extracted does not exceed 50 t (110
kip).
Therefore the supporting forces must first be shifted by
a light adjustment / rotation of the superstructure / main
boom / equipment.
4. Rotate superstructure by 180 .
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3.

12.11.1 Normal Outrigger Span
Outrigger span 8.23 m x 7.50 m (27 ft x 24.6 ft).
(Z 110 014)
For the outrigger support area 8.23 m x 7.50 m (27 ft x 24.6 ft),
the outrigger strut (1) is completely extended and pinned at point
X/C.
Working with the crane is permitted only with the load
capacity tables supplied with the crane. The cranes
construction number is noted on the load capacity tables.
If there are no specifications for the outrigger span in the
load capacity tables, then the outrigger struts must be
extended completely and pinned.
12.11.2 Reduced Outrigger Span
Outrigger span 8.23 m x 5.40 m (27 ft x 17.7 ft).
(Z 110 013)
For the outrigger support area 8.23 m x 5.40 m (27 ft x 17.7 ft),
the outrigger strut (1) is partially extended and pinned at point
X/B.
The extension length is marked in colour on the outrigger struts
(1).
If the outrigger span is reduced, then only certain
counterweights / main boom lengths / equipment are
permitted.
Details of these can be found in the corresponding load
capacity tables. Only the combinations specified there are
permitted.

12.12 Removal and installation of the outrigger struts with
auxiliary crane
(optional)
12.12.1 Notes on removing and installing the outrigger struts
An auxiliary crane is required for removing and installing the
outrigger struts.
One entire outrigger strut weighs around 0.85 t (1874 lbs).
The lifting tackle must be selected and calculated in
accordance with this weight.
Danger risk of crushing!
There is a risk of being crushed at all work related to the
installation and removal of the supports!
Quick connection couplings
The quick connection couplingsat the hydraulic lines R, E and
P are marked with labels.
Connection R = Extending the horizontal cylinders.
Connection E = Retracting the horizontal cylinders and
the vertical cylinders:
Connection P = Extending the vertical cylinders
Observe designations/coloured markings provided; do not mix
up the lines.
Take care to ensure that the chassis engine has been turned off.
The hydraulics connections are then depressurise and easier to
mount.
In order to avoid damage to the threads, make sure that their
initial engagement is clean; particularly when pliers are used to
connect the quick connection coupling.
Make sure that the coupling pieces are completely screwed
in (up to the stop), otherwise it causes damage to the
hydraulic system.
If there are no labels on the quick assembly hose couplings,
mark them before disconnecting.

12.12.2 Removing the outrigger struts with the auxiliary crane
Starting position:
suspension (in position for driving on normal roads) locked.
boom secured in folded position (retracted).
superstructure locking device inserted
Risk of tipping!
The superstructure locking device may only be detached
again when the crane is on outriggers (outrigger span
8.23 m x 7.50 m/27 ft x 24.6 ft).
If the superstructure locking device is detached before
the crane is on outriggers, the superstructure can swivel
on its own, for example, due to sloped positioning or the
effect of wind. In this situation the crane can tip over.
Procedure (action steps) for removing the outrigger struts
1. Supporting cylinder and outrigger strut (1) are in transport
position (completely retracted).
Remove locking pin at position C.
2. Extend outrigger strut (1) entirely, as far as possible.
3. Disconnect the quick release couplings for the hydraulic
lines R, E and P.
Release the outrigger pressure display connection (plug
Q).
When the quick release couplings are released/connected,
none of the switches at the switch panel may be actuated.
4. Remove flap plug (8) and attach pin (5) on the piston rod of
the horizontal cylinder (6).
5. Connect the extension hoses to the quick release couplings
for the hydraulic lines R and E.
Check the connecting components for cleanliness and also
check the seal rings (Orings); Check that the extension
tubes are not impeded.
6. Retract the horizontal cylinder. Release the extension hoses
to the quick release couplings for the hydraulic lines R and
E.

Risk of tipping!
The superstructure locking device may only be detached
again when the crane is on outriggers (outrigger span
8.23 m x 7.50 m/27 ft x 24.6 ft).
If the superstructure locking device is detached before
the crane is on outriggers, the superstructure can swivel
on its own, for example, due to sloped positioning or the
effect of wind. In this situation the crane can tip over.
Procedure (action steps) for installing the outrigger struts
1. The outrigger struts are folded together (transport position)
on the transport vehicle.
2. Using the auxiliary crane, pick up the outrigger struts from
the transport vehicle and move them to their individual
supporting boxes in a horizontal, aligned insertion position.
Clean and grease the slide faces.
3. Before inserting the hooked outrigger strut: Push the
extension hoses through the supporting boxes in the
direction of the quick release couplings.
4. Insert the outrigger struts (1) horizontally (approx. 700

Parking 13
1402130 1/3
13 Parking
The crane vehicle must be made completely safe before it is left.
The following basic instructions should be observed.
13.1 Crane in the Transport Condition
1. Apply the parking brake (14) of the crane chassis.
The retaining brake cannot hold the mobile crane at every slope
or descent that it can drive!
If you must park on a slope or descent, the wheels must be
secured additionally using chocks.
2. Switch the transmission to the neutral position using rotary
switch (13).
3. Switch off the engine.
4. Switch off the heating if necessary (in case of
engineindependent heating).
5. The main boom must be in the road travel
condition(telescopic sections pinned, lockingpinning unit
locked in the transport position (see part 1, section 12)).
6. Place all control levers in the off or middle position (O
position).
7. Pull out the ignition key (superstructure and crane chassis).
If the crane is equipped with an engineindependent heater,
wait one or two minutes before switching off the ignition
switch.
(Afterrun time of the heater fan for cooling off the heating).
8. Lock the drivers cab and crane operators cab.
13
1402130 2/3
Parking 13
1402130 3/3
13.2 Crane in Erect Condition and Supported on
Outriggers
1. Set the crane load down on the ground and detach
(whenever the crane operator leaves the crane operators
cab).
2. Lock the slew gear brake (see Operating instructions for the
superstructure, part 1, section 8).
3. Retract and pin lock the telescopic sections.
4. Put all control levers in the off or middle position (O
position).
5. Switch off the engine.
6. Switch off the heating if it is on.
7. Pull out ignition key (superstructure and crane chassis).
If the aircraft warning light is to remain switched on while parking,
the ignition key in the crane operators cab of the superstructure
must not be pulled out, but must be switched to parking position.
In this case, make sure that the radio, fan and any additional
ventilators are switched off.
The batteries will run down if the aircraft warning lights are
switched to constant operation and the engine is switched off.
To avoid this, the crane operator must provide a secondary power
source (e.g. charging set).
If the crane is equipped with an engineindependent heater,
wait one or two minutes before switching off the battery
switch or ignition key (afterrun time of the heater fan for
cooling off the heater).
8. Lock the drivers cab and crane operators cab.
Observe the permitted wind speeds!
If necessary, the boom or equipment must also be lowered!

(Z 200 092)
14.1 Towing start
The engine cannot be started by towstarting the crane.
If the batteries are dead the engine can be started with the help
of jumpstart cables and the batteries of another vehicle. (see
also section 4)
14.2 Towing
14.2.1 Important General Instructions
The trailer coupling on the front frame is designed for manoeu-
vring and towing the crane.
The towing vehicle must be sufficiently dimensioned (brakes, en-
gine output).
Use only a permitted towbar to tow the crane. Lock the coupling
bolts to safeguard against them falling out.
Avoid oblique pull under all circumstances.
Voice contact must exist between the towing machine and the
crane vehicle.
14.2.2 Recovering from a Hazardous Area
As a rule, certain joint shafts must be removed before the crane
is towed.
The only exception: Neutral position of the distributor gear for
towing with damage to the engine / transmission
Further details about this can be found in sect. 14. 2. 6.
Failure to observe this regulation will unavoidably result in
damage to the crane.

14.2.3 Towing with Engine Damage
(Z 200 092, Z 51 301, Z 200 320)
First option:
Remove drive shaft (4) from between drive gearbox (2) and
distributor gear (3).
Ignition on.
Drive gearbox in neutral position.
Distributor gear in road travel position.
Second option:
Under certain conditions (max. 30 km at 30 km/h), you can avoid
removing the universal joints for towing. In this case, the distribu-
tor gear must be switched to neutral position instead (for more in-
formation see Neutral position of the distributor gear in this sec-
tion).
Ignition on.
Drive gearbox in neutral position.
Drive gearbox in neutral position.
For both options the following applies:
The braking system of the mobile crane must be supplied with
pressurised air using a hose from the towing vehicle. For this
purpose there is a combined external filling and tyre filling
connection with M 16 x 1.5 thread on the right side of the
crane base.
The connection for the filling hose must only be screwed on
to the combined connection in such a way, that the cylindrical
component is pressed in by approx. 1 mm (position L: exterior
filling). (Information: on filling up the tyres: screw filling tube
on so that the cylindrical component is pressed in approx. 3
mm (position R).
If the air pressure in the supply tanks falls below 5.5 bar (indi-
cator lights B3 / B4 and STOP display (35) are illuminated),
the crane must be stopped immediately.
If the pressure in the braking system falls to such an extent that
the spring accumulators brake cylinder close of their own ac-
cord, the spring tension can be released again mechanically.
To do this, unscrew the release bolts on the spring accumulators
brake cylinder using an SW 27 wrench until they move freely.

Towstarting and Towing the Crane 14
1402140 7/15
The spring accumulator brake cylinders may only be re-
leased once the vehicle has been secured to prevent it
from rolling away.
(Z 200 092, Z 52 142)
Following towing with the spring accumulators brake cylinders
released, the braking action of the parking brake must be re-
stored before the crane is placed back in operation.
The compressed air must first be raised to a pressure of 8 bar with
the engine running. The displays (B3 / B4) go out at 5.5 bar.
Then with the parking brake released the release bolts on the
spring accumulator brake cylinders must be fully screwed into the
cylinders and tightened.
Once you have done this, check the free travel of the brake cylin-
der and adjust as necessary.
To ensure the road safety of the vehicle, this work may only
be carried out by trained and qualified personnel.
Important note on steering while engine is at a standstill:
When the engine is at a standstill, the main steering circuits
1 and 2 do not function. Only when the vehicle is in motion
does the emergency steering pump, which is connected to
the drive train (distributor gearbox), rotate and supply (de-
pending on speed) the steering circuit 3. This means:
The joint shafts 5 AND 6 may not be removed at the same
time. One of the shafts must always be fitted so that the
emergency steering pump will pump.
Much greater effort is required to move the steering
wheel.
The steering times for the vehicle being towed are in-
creased 3 to 4fold.
In tight bends the vehicle may need to be manoeuvred in
the area of the bend.
The steering circuits 1 and 2 do not function at the mo-
ment. This is indicated while towing by red indicator
lights (B8, B9) in combination with Caution (36).
While towing the indicator light (B10) must be observed.

The indicator light (B10) may not light up.
If these indicator lights are illuminated in red (STOP
(35) would be displayed at the same time), the crane
must be stopped immediately. It is no longer possible to
steer the crane.
Depending on the system, in case of the fault No throughfeed
at the emergency steering pump (indicator light B10) , there is
a display only once a driving speed > approx. 8 km/h has been
reached.
14.2.4 Towing with Damage to the Drive Gearbox
(Z 200 092)
First option:
The drive shaft (4) must be disconnected between the drive
gearbox (2) and the distributor gear (3).
Drive gearbox in neutral position.
Distributor gear in road travel position.
Second option:
Under certain conditions (max. 30 km at 30 km/h), you can avoid
removing the universal joints for towing. In this case, the distribu-
tor gear must be switched to the neutral position instead (for more
information see Neutral position of the distributor gear in this
section).
Drive gearbox in neutral position.
Drive gearbox in neutral position.
For both options the following applies:
Start the engine of the chassis and set the speed to 1200 rpm.
This speed must be maintained during the towing procedure.
If the chassis engine should stop running for some reason,
follow the towing regulations outlined for towing the crane
in the case of engine damage.

14.2.5 Towing with Damage to the Distributor Gear
(Z 200 092, Z 51 300)
The drive shaft (4) must be disconnected between the drive
gearbox (2) and the distributor gear (3).
The drive shaft (5) must be removed between the distributor
gear (3) and front axles.
The drive shaft (6) must be removed between the distributor
gear (3) and rear axles.
Start the engine of the chassis and set the speed to 1200 rpm.
This speed must be maintained during the towing procedure.
If the warning lights (B8, B9) light up during towing, the
crane must be stopped immediately. It is no longer pos-
sible to steer the crane.
When towing with damage to the distributor gear the drive
motor must always run; otherwise the vehicle cannot be
steered.
In this case, the indicator light (B10) which controls the function
of the emergency steering pumps is also illuminated during tow-
ing (red together with Caution (36)) as there is no connection to
the emergency steering pump due to the missing drive shafts.
Depending on the system, the message is only shown at driving
speeds > approx. 8 km/h.

14.2.6 Neutral Position of the Distributor Gear for Towing
with Damage to Engine / Transmission
(Z 52 143, Z 52 144, Z 200 321)
The neutral position of the distributor gear is meant to ease the
drivers job, so that the universal joints do not have to be removed
if there is damage to the engine / transmission.
It is only permitted to tow with the distributor gear in neutral posi-
tion if the journey is no longer than 30 km and speeds do not ex-
ceed 30 km/h.
Avoid longer towing journeys (the lubricating oil pump does not
work).
If the max. towing distance (30 km) and / or the max. towing
speed (30 km/h) is not adhered to, it will always lead to dam-
age.
The neutral position is switched on via a manually activated
pneumatic valve (1) (key function). In order to carry out a switch-
ing procedure, a pressure supply of 7 bar is required.
The button is on the righthand side of the machine in the outer
covering under the rubber sheeting (Z 200 321).
Steps for neutral position of the distributor gear
1. Stop vehicle; apply parking brake; secure against rolling
away; transmission in neutral.
2. Switch to neutral position in the distributor gear by pressing
the button (2). The indicator light (A8) is displayed in the
driver display (43).
3. After towing is completed (wait for the vehicle to come to
a standstill), road travel must be activated again in the distrib-
utor gear by pressing the dual button (93). The indicator light
(A8) goes out.
No resetting is required at the actual pneumatic valve.
Make sure that the dual button (93) is not pressed during tow-
ing (not even by accident).

14.3 Towing Free From Rough Terrain
Towing the crane free (pulling out) if the wheels have become
stuck in the ground is only allowed with extreme caution.
It is prohibited to pull it out using the trailer coupling at the front
frame, as it is only for towing on a firm surface.
The crane vehicle may only be towed backwards using the rear
trailer clutch or long steel ropes, fastened to the rear outrigger
beams. The crane should then be towed along the track that it
has already made.
Sudden, jerking movements and oblique pull are prohibited, as
these could result in damage to the chassis.
If it is not possible to pull the crane out in a straight line, a deflec-
tion point may need to be set up between the crane and the re-
covery vehicle. Make sure that there is sufficient air in the braking
system.

15.2 Hot Water Heater Arrangement with Preheating for
coolant (independent of engine), Optional Equipment
(Z 35 590)
The crane is equipped with the Eberspcher D 9 W hot water
heater arrangement.
With low ambient temperatures (up to 20 C) it makes starting
the engine easier. With temperatures lower than 20 C the cool-
ant must be preheated.
For operating the heater there is a timer (109) in the cabin.
1. Clock time
2. Preselection
3. Heating
4. Back
5. Forward
6. Memory display
7. Symbol for radio remote control
8. Weekday or preselected day
9. Actual clock time or preselected time

11. Operating display
If the coolant has been replaced or topped up considerably,
the vehicle engine must be brought up to an operating tem-
perature of approx. 80 C (activation point of the coolant ther-
mostat) before the independent heater is switched on so that
the coolant circuit and the circuit for the independent heater
can be bled automatically.
When the heater is switched on, the lower fan level is automati-
cally switched on when the water temperature reaches approx.
55 C measured on the independent heater.

Notes on operating the heater
(Z 27 544)
If switch (3) is set on heating (position A) or ventilation (posi-
tion C), the green indicator lamp under control knob (4) must be
on. The fan is in operation.
If the indicator lamp is not on, the fuse in the electrical control unit
must be renewed (see lubrication and maintenance instructions
for the crane chassis, Part 4, Sect. 19).
If, after a while, the heater is switched off, the green light means
that the fan is continuing to run to cool down the heater. The igni-
tion switch must therefore not be switched off until the fan has
gone off.
When filling up the tank and in enclosed spaces (garage etc.) the
heater must not be switched on.
If the red indicator lamp (1) comes on and is not flickering, this
can, amongst other things, mean the gas is low, there is air in the
gas pipe, the blower is badly clogged or theres a defect in a
safety part.
The malfunction is cleared each time by switching the heater off
and on again.
If the red indicator lamp (1) is flickering, this indicates that the op-
erating voltage is too low for the heater.
Make sure that the heater is always free from dirt (slush, leaves
etc.) for gas emission and for the combustion air supply.
The heater cap must always be replaced when the heater is not
in operation.
For operation and maintenance of the heater also see the operat-
ing instructions from the manufacturer, Part 5.
Before carrying out any welding the corresponding breaker must
be switched off.

15.4 Air conditioner, Optional Equipment
(Z 53 019)
The air conditioner operates with the refrigerating agent R 134a
and is therefore without florchloridecarbonhydrogen.
To operate the air conditioner, there are two control buttons either
in the cabin.
1. control button air conditioner (110) (on/off)
2. blower switch, 3settings (114)
The air conditioner only operates by running motor.
The air conditioner is switched off if the control button air condi-
tioning (110) is in position out.
To switch on the air conditioner, you have to turn the blower
switch (114) in clockwise direction to setting 1 at least. The cool-
ing temperature can be chosen with the control button tempera-
ture (113). By turning the button in clockwise direction, you can
reach a higher efficiency of the air conditioner. The room temper-
ature in the cabin decreases.
The higher you chosen the cooling temperature of the air condi-
tioner with the control button temperature, the higher you should
put the blower setting.
Should the efficiency the air conditioner noticeably decrease by
same speed and normal adjustment there is the possibility that
the evaporator is frozen. In that case, switch off the air conditioner
by running evaporator about 3 minutes. The ice on the evapora-
tor defreezes.
To obtain the most effective cooling in the cabin, you have to....
turn control button temperature in clockwise direction as far
as it will go
switch on the highest blower setting
turn off the heater
keep close the windscreens.
On cold and damp days the air conditioner can dehumidify the air
in the cabin. With the vehicles heater, the cooling is compen-
sated again. An agreeable climate of the cabin is obtained and
the steaming up of the windscreens is prevented.
The air conditioner should be switched on for a short time one
time every month a least. The operate is necessary so that all run-
ning parts will be lubricated.
Servicing the air conditioning system see part 3 (Lubrication and
Maintenance Manual of the Superstructure) .

16.2 Function
(Z 42 271, Z 29 548)
The central lubricating system automatically supplies the
connected lubricating points via local subdistributors with
grease.
It works according to preprogrammed cycles, i.e. there are pause
times and operating times. These begin to run as soon as the
ignition on the chassis is switched on.
Pause time: Period in which no lubrication is carried out
(exception possible if the additional lubricating
pulse is used)
Operating time: Period in which lubrication is carried out.
An exact description of the pause and operating times can be
found in section 16.3.
If there is a blockage in the system, lubricant is emitted from the
safety valve (3) of the pump.
An exact description of how to proceed in the event of faults can
be found in section 16.7.
To check that the system and controls are functioning correctly,
a test run can be carried out.
1. Switch on the ignition:
Lightemitting diode (6) must light up.
2. Press button (10) for additional lubrication for approx. 2
seconds (or button 98 in the dashboard).
The pause time is then abbreviated and the usual lubrication
procedure is carried out; lightemitting diode (9) and
indicator light in button (98) light up.

16.3 Setting the Pause and Operating Time
(Z 29 548)
16.3.1 General
The pause and operating times are electronically regulated.
As soon as the ignition is switched on, the pause time begins.
Once the pause time is completed, the operating period begins,
the actual lubrication procedure.
If, for example, a pause time of 6 hours has been set, the time that
has already run when the ignition is switched off (e.g. 4 hours) is
stored. When the ignition is switched back on, a further two hours
pause time remain.
If the battery voltage is disconnected for more than four days
a complete pause cycle will run again (6 hours).
An operating cycle will run as long as the ignition is switched on.
If the operating cycle is interrupted by switching off the ignition
it continues where it left off once the ignition is switched back on.
The individual cycle periods are stored electronically.
Example: Operating time already run 3 min.
Remaining operating time 3 min.
The duration of the lubricating cycle is dependent on the amount
of lubricant required by the system. The pause / operating times
of the chassis are set ex works as follows:
Pause cycle: 6 hours
Position of rotary switch (7) = 6
Operating cycle:
6 min.
Position of rotary switch (8) = 3
That means that every 6 hours a lubricating procedure of 6
minutes is carried out.

16.4 Additional Lubricating Pulses
In addition to the automatic lubricating cycles, it is possible to end
the pause time early and to carry out additional lubricating cycles.
These can be carried out either by pressing (approx. 2 seconds)
the following buttons:
1. Button (98) in the dashboard;
the indicator light lights up in the button.
Or
2. Button (10) on the control board of the lube pump;
lightemitting diode (9) lights up on the control board.
The ignition must be switched on!
Once the additional lubrication has been carried out, the usual
pause time begins again from the start.
16.5 Manual Lubrication in Case of an Emergency
If the lube pump fails, the lubrication points can also be supplied
manually with grease.
The grease is then fed into the system using a grease gun via
lubricating nipple (1).
16.6 Filling the Grease Container (Lube Tank)
The grease container or lube tank (2) is filled up to the max.
marking using filler nipple (4). This is carried out using a standard
grease pump or a handlever press.
During filling, the pump must be set in motion (by first activating
the additional lubricating pulse).
The grease that has been added must be free of impurities
and and must not change in consistency with time.
Pay attention to the instructions on the prescribed lubricants in
the lubricating / maintenance instructions of the chassis (part 4).

16.7 Troubleshooting
Fault: The engine of the pump is not running
Cause Remedy
Power supply interrupted. Check power supply / fuses. Rectify fault / re-
place fuses if necessary.
Fault: Pump is not delivering
Cause Remedy
Container empty. Fill up the container with clean grease, allow
the pump to run (additional lubrication) until
the lubricant is emitted at all lubricating points.
Note: Depending on the ambient temperature
and/or lubricant the pump elements require up
to 10 minutes run time in order to reach their
full delivery capacity.
Air pockets in the lubricant. Carry out an additional lubricating pulse.
Loosen the outlet plug on the safety valve.
The lubricant must be emitted without bubbles.
Unsuitable lubricant used. Replace the lubricant, see lubricants table (lu-
bricating and maintenance instructions of the
chassis, part 4).
Suction hole of the pump element is clogged. Remove the pump element, check the suction
hole for impurities/blockages and clean.
Pump pistons worn. Replace the pump element.
Nonreturn valve in the pump element defec-
tive or clogged.
Replace the pump element.
Fault: Different lube quantities at the lubricating points
Cause Remedy
Corresponding valve body is fitted without
clamping ring.
Remove the valve body and check whether a
clamping ring is fitted. If not, fit a clamping
ring.

Fault: Blockage in the connected progressive system (Z 29 549)
Cause Remedy
Bearing, leads or distributor
clogged.
The fault can be recognised by
the following characteristics:
a) Grease emitted at the safety
valve.
b) The check pins on the distrib-
utor pistons (if fitted) are not
moving.
Find and rectify the blockage as described in the following
example.
1. Leave the pump running (additional lubricating pulse).
2. Individually release all main lines (G) from the main dis-
tributor (B) to the sub distributors. If, for example, grease
is emitted under pressure from outlet (1) of the main dis-
tributor (B), the blockage must be looked for in the lubri-
cating circuit of the subdistributor (D).
3. Leave the pump running.
4. Individually release all lubricating lines (E) of the subdis-
tributor (D) one after the other. If, for example, grease is
emitted under pressure from outlet (3) of distributor (D),
the blockage must be looked for in the line of outlet (3) or
in the connected bearing.
5. Replace safety valve A.
Note: To check the individual outlets, leave each outlet
loose for a longer period of time, as only one piston
stroke is carried out for each rotation of the pump. Sev-
eral piston strokes are required, however, to carry out a
complete run through all distributors.
c) If a distributor is blocked, lu-
bricant is not emitted at any
outlet.
Pump out the blocked line / bearing using a hand pump.
Replace the distributor or clean as described below:
1. Remove all pipe connection screws.
2. Unscrew the piston sealing plugs.
3. Drive out the pistons, if possible, with a small soft mandrel
( smaller than 6 mm).
Caution: The pistons are fitted flush in the distributor bores.
After removing, mark the pistons to make sure they are
fitted again in the right position and direction. They must
not be mixed up when refitting.
4. Clean the distributor body in greasedissolv-
ing cleaner and blow off with compressed air.
5. Press through the cross channels ( 1.5 mm) on the
thread ends of the piston bores with a pin.
6. Clean the distributor again and blow out.
7. Assemble the distributor.
8 Replace the copper washers.
9. Before screwing in the pipe connectors, pump through the
distributor several times with oil using a manual pump. The
pressure in the distributor must not exceed 25 bar ( 362.8
psi) when doing this.
If this is the case, replace the distributor.
