Brake System 5.1.5 (P-1/4)

Description

The crane is fitted with a dual brake system. The crane can be operated with the air pressure brake system or the vacuum brake system. Switch-over is carried out by means of two levers, which are located on both sides of the cranes. In addition, the crane has a parking brake with a quick-release device which can be controlled independently of the train brake system by means or air pressure or the vacuum system. The status of the brakes can be read off via the corresponding indicators (red and green). The spring–loaded cylinders also have a mechanical emergency release device which can be actuated by means of Bowden cables on the axles. Caution! – If the emergency release device is used, you must pressurize the brake system with air pressure before you can be begin a new braking procedure.

Safety Instructions

Caution! – Please note that the brake system must be pressurized before a new braking procedure can be carried out when the Bowden cables have been activated. Prior to releasing the parking brake, start up the crane and secure via the service brake. On exiting the crane, always apply (switch on) the parking brake. Caution! – Only begin travel operation when the parking brake has been completely released! - It is prohibited to begin travel when the brake is still on.

Operating Instructions

1. To apply parking brake: � Place the parking brake lever (Item 1) to “On” position. The “parking brake”

indicator (Item 2) is red.

1997 DESIGN 140T GOTTWALD/JAMALPUR CRANE ISSUE 1997

Brake System 5.1.5 (P-2/4)

To release parking brake: • Place the parking brake lever (Item 1) to the “Off” position. The “braking

brake” indicator (Item 2) is green. 2. To release the brake quickly:

The brake has handle (Item 3) for quick-release. The quick-release acts directly on the KE brake valve during operation of the air pressure system or on the vacuum control valve during vacuum operation: To operate the quick-release for the air pressure system: • Pull out the handle once until the brake has been completely released (opened). To operate the quick-release for the vacuum system: • Pull out the handle once until the vacuum has been completely equalized.

3. To switch the brake system from air pressure to vacuum:

Note: The switch-over devices for the air pressure and vacuum systems are coupled to each other mechanically, i.e. when the air pressure brake system is switched on, the vacuum brake system is switched off automatically and vice versa. Generally, the following applies: Lever in horizontal position: Brake “ON”, Lever in vertical position Brake “OFF”. It is also possible to switch off both brake systems simultaneously. Caution: danger of the crane rolling – secure the crane without fail using drag shoes.

6. Mechanical emergency release device of the spring-loaded cylinders (not illustrated): Caution! – Once the Bowden cables have been actuated, the crane is without brakes until the brake have been re-pressurized Danger of accidents! The mechanical emergency quick-release device is actuated via 6 Bowden cables on the bogies. The spring-loaded brake is not active until sufficient pressure is available. The pressure required can be generated via the compressor on the diesel engine or the air pressure compressors in the undercarriage. When the pressure required is to be generator during travel in an air pressure operated train, set the control lever for the parking brake on the undercarriage to “released” position. Otherwise the parking brake closes automatically when the activating pressure has been reached. When the pressure is set in a vacuum brake operated train, the air supply for activating the spring-loaded and service brakes must be checked prior to departure, as no braking function is possible until the pressure has been generated via the axle compressors. Filling only the main air line is not sufficient to activate the brake system (max. 5bar) but it is enough to make the service brake functional. Parking the crane rake is released is prohibited. Danger of the crane rolling! Secure the crane by means of drag shoes or the like. To actuate the emergency quick-release device: • Pull the Bowden cables on the bogies to release the spring –loaded

cylinders.

(P-1/2)

Description The boom position can be altered by means of the derricking gear. The winch, the rope drum, gearbox and drive assembly are located on the superstructure. When the boom is derricked out, the derricking gear uncoils the rope and moves the boom into its greatest radius. When the boom is derricked in, the derricking gear coils the rope and moves the boom into steepest position. Both end positions are monitored by means of the limit switches, which switch off operation automatically when the boom reaches the end positions.

For the rigging purposes, the end switch – off positions of the normal working range must be bridged by pressing the button on the control lever. The end positions (ultimate end positions) in rigging operation are also monitored by limit switches, which switch off operation automatically when the boom reaches the end positions. The boom position is sensed via the angle sensor. This data forms the basis for the lifting capacity charts.

The derricking gear is operated by means of the control lever in the cab.

Safety Instructions

During crane operation, always ensure that no persons or obstacles are in the working or danger zones.

Watch for train traffic on adjacent tracks- Danger of Accidents!

Do not stand or move below suspended loads – Mortal danger!

Caution!- observe the load indicator! In the event the load indicator or safe load indicator failure, crane operation must not be started or must be stopped immediately!

The crane may only be propped at the propping bases indicated in the Technical Data. The ground must withstand the propping pressures. Use caution near the overhead lines- Mortal danger!

Safe Load Indicator 5.7.1 (P-1/6)

The railway crane is secured during crane operation against overload by means of an electronic safe load indicator (SLI). This means that motion which increase the load moment during crane work are switched off.

The following factors are taken into account for the safe load indicator: 1. Propping base 2. Boom angle 3. Slewing angle 4. Load 5. Counterweight configuration 6. Counterweight radii: 5.5 m / 6.5m. 7. Main hoist hook block is retracting to / released from the boom. The figures (2-4) can be displayed on the safe load indicator display in the cab.

Safety Instructions

The safe load indicator is an automatic switch-off system in the event of an emergency situation. Always check the safe load indicator for proper functioning and the data it displays. Should the data appear unrealistic, there may by, for example, malfunctioning sensors which cannot be detected by the system itself. Have the safe load indicator checked immediately by specially trained personnel. The safe load indicator is to be tested by authorised personnel at the intervals set down by law - however, at least once a year. The safe load indicator is designed as an aid to the crane operator and should not be used carelessly. The figures in the lifting capacity charts are decisive for operation.

1997 DESIGN 140T GOTTWALD/JAMALPUR CRANE ISSUE 1997

Railway Crane Operating Manual

Safe Load Indicator 5.7.1 (P-2/6)

Please also note that improper operating techniques and inadmissible job conditions cannot be sensed by the system and therefore, the safe load indicator will switch off too late:

• Under slinging the load or the lifting gear • Pendulous swinging of the load • Breaking loose of loads which are struck • Loads falling into the rope • Diagonal pull • Non-vertical lifting of loads • Lifting inadmissibly heavy loads by derricking in the boom.

The SLI is fitted with a bridging switch which on activation switches off the control levers. This switch may only be used in emergency situations and may only be operated by authorised personnel. Non-observance of these instructions can cause damage and series or even mortal injuries!

Operating Instructions

The safe load indicator is operated via the panel in the cab. For further information, consult the PAT User’s Manual. To switch the safe load indicator from one lifting capacity chart to another, the following selector switches must be used: Item 11: Selector switch A: Propping base (Section 5.1.6), Item 12: Selector switch B: Counter weights (Section 5.1.4, 5.1.8, 5.1.9) Item 14: Selector switch C: Main hoist hook (Section 5.1.12), Item 15: Selector switch D: Counter weight radius (Section 5.1.10). Set the codes in accordance with the lifting capacity charts and the switch symbols on selector switches, A to D to rig, code 1-1-1-1 must be set.

Rigging may only be carried out in the sequence described below:

The actual rigging condition must be set on the safe load indicator directly after each rigging step has been carried out: 1: Set rigging code 1-1-1-1 on the safe load indicator. 2: Rig propping base (if required, for the selected lifting capacity chart) - then set rigging code

(selector switch A) 3: Select counterweight (if required, for the selected lifting capacity chart) - then set rigging cod

(selector switch B). 4: Select counterweight radius (if required, for the selected lifting capacity chart) - then set

rigging code (selector switch D) 5: Retract / releases main hoist hook block (if required, for the selected lifting capacity chart) -

then set rigging code (selector switch C).

• When the switch is neutral position in the center: The total load is shown or when the lamp flashes the net load • When the switch is turned to the right:

The load is tared (set to zero). The switch is spring-loaded so it returns to neutral position after release. When the display flashes, the net load is shown. The display will changed back automatically to indicating the total load when the boom radius is altered, i.e. when the boom angle is altered. Note: The total weight includes the weight on the hook block, the hoist rope and all the lifting gear. The net load is the actual load on the hook block excluding the lifting gear. Display errors are possible due to external factors, e.g. wind acting on the crane and the load.

Item 7: Load moment display:

This instrument indicates how much of the crane rated capacity is being used. As the rated capacity of the crane changes as it is moved through its various emotions, the utilisation display will constantly change as well.

To provide a better display, the bar graph display has three sections: • green: “safe” range (0% to 90% of the rated capacity). • yellow: pre- warning range (90% to 100% of the rated capacity) • red: overload range (above 100% of the rated capacity)

Item 8: Boom data display:

This display provides information regarding the status of the operating geometry of the crane and possibly an error code. The data shown depends on the position of the selector switch.
