Handling of this Operating Manual
This Operating Manual covers the machine model supplied plus any optional equipment that may be available. To find the information you need, please consult the Table of Contents. Moreover, the headline of the corresponding chapter appears in the header of each page.
The controls, gauges and switches installed in the driver's cab (at the operator's place) are mentioned on many pages of this Operating Manual. They are illustrated on fold-out pages at the end of Part B1 and B2 "Operating Instructions" for the chassis and/or the superstructure.
The Figures shown in the Operating Manual may differ from the machine model actually supplied. They are still relevant, however. Your attention is also drawn to the additional brochures included with the set of vehicle documents.
Tadano ATF 220G-5 Gearbox
ZF-AS-Tronic 16 AS 2602, mechanical gearbox with integrated intarder. Electronically-pneumatically actuated dry clutch and fully automatic gearbox control. The starting gear is selected manually or automatically. If necessary, semi-automatic mode (Tip Tronic) possible with manual gear selection. For extremely slow driving operation, manoeuvring in 1st forward and reverse is possible. In manoeuvring mode, the vehicle can be moved particularly gently by actuation of the accelerator pedal.
Tadano ATF 220G-5 Axle suspension
Hydro-pneumatic suspension with level control system; suspension cylinders electro-hydraulically lockable. The axles are guided in longitudinal guide struts and transverse control arms. Inclination adjustment is possible to all sides while the suspension is locked. The stroke of each suspension cylinder can be influenced via push-buttons. Thus, it is possible to compensate unevennesses of the terrain within the stroke of the cylinders. Control in the driver’s cab, or from the control panel of the outriggers.
Steering
ZF Servocom dual-circuit hydraulic steering, mechanical with hydraulic assistance. The permanent steering is effective on the 1st and 2nd axles with mechanical connection to the steering gear. In on-road mode, the 4th and 5th axles are steered electronically depending on the speed according to the current steering angles of the 1st and 2nd axles. At speeds exceeding 25 km/h, the 4th axle - and at speeds exceeding 50 km/h the 5th axle - are locked automatically in straight-ahead position.
The construction site mode is activated by lifting of the 3rd axle via a tip switch on the instrument panel. In construction site mode, the control device in the center console enables the operator to select the following steering configurations:
- Minimum turning circle”: The 4th and 5th axles are steered automatically according to the current steering angle of the front axle so that the minimum turning circle is performed.
- Diagonal steering“: The 4th and 5th axles are steered automatically according to the current steering angle of the front axle so that the vehicle moves diagonally.
- Manual steering”: The steering angle of the 4th axle can be adjusted via a tip switch of the control device. The 5th axle is steered automatically depending on the current steering angles of the 1st and 4th axles, so that a largely geometrically correct steering pattern results.
- “Electronic tail-swing suppression“: The 4th and 5th axles are steered automatically so that the swing-out motion of the rear part of the vehicle is suppressed.
Electrical equipment
24 V DC system with 100 A three-phase alternator, 2 batteries of 12 V 170 Ah each, 4 main headlights for dimmed and high-beam light, 2 fog lights, lateral lights, 2 seven-compartment lamps on the rear, comprising the rear fog light and the reversing lights, acoustical backup alarm, 2 rotary beacons on the chassis cab. 4 headlights to illuminate the area of the extended outriggers. Wired with CAN bus components, integral self-test CSS (FAUN Control & Service System). The electrical equipment corresponds to the EC standard.
Driver’s cab
Front cab for two persons, of steel/plastic composite design, windshield made of laminated glass, side panes made of tempered glass, side panes movable. Driver’s and passenger’s seats with integrated three-point seat belt systems, with height, inclination and length adjustment, and headrests. Both seats are air-suspended with automatic adjustment to occupant’s weight and quick lowering device. Windshield wiper with interval wiping circuit, windshield washing system, 2 rearview mirrors (electrically adjustable), 1 wide-angle rearview mirror and 1 startup mirror on the right (all mirrors with electric heating). Car radio with CD player, 12 V terminal, e.g. for interphone system, 24 V and 12 V plug.
Superstructure cabin
Crane cabin (extra-large and optimized ergonomically speaking) in steel / plastic design with sliding door, safety glass with tinted panes, electrically actuated hinged windscreen, glued-in skylight made of bullet-proof safety glass, and hinged backlight.
To ensure an optimum vision during crane work, the work place can be tilted progressively via the FAUN inclination technique integrated in the cab. It features an adjustable, hydraulically damped driver’s seat with headrest, mechanically adjustable lumbar support, windshield wiping and washing system for windscreen and skylight, windshield wipers with interval circuit, hourmeter, sun visor, electric horn, radio with CD player, 12V and 24V Plugboxes.
Display to facilitate monitoring of e.g. fuel level and hydraulic oil temperature, vehicle voltage, superstructure locking mechanism and engine monitoring. Actuation of outrigger and chassis engine functions possible from the superstructure. Single-key system for driver’s cab and cabin doors, tank locks in superstructure and chassis, as well as steering lock.
Counterweight
Total counterweight 71t, divisible. Partial counterweight can be deposited via hydraulic cylinders. Actuation from the crane cabin. The swing radius is 4.98 m; up to a 12t counterweight, the width is 3.0m, up to 47t, the width is 3.6m, up to 71t, the width is 5.6m. 12t can be carried along on the vehicle during transport travel, technically speaking. ASLI programming for 0t and 71t counterweights.
Hand signals recommended for communication between the crane operator and his assistant
During all intended crane movements (with or without load), the crane operator must always have the load or the load lifting device in his field of vision. Loads fixed by hand may only be moved by the crane operator after he has received a corresponding signal from the person fixing the load or from another responsible person who has been determined in advance.
If the crane operator's field of vision is impaired by obstacles, he may only move the crane or the load with the help of an assistant determined in advance, who gives him appropriate instructions. The instructions can be given using radio equipment or hand signals. However, clear communication free from misunderstandings must always be ensured between the assistant giving the instructions and the crane operator.
