SECTION 1. OVERVIEW
1.1 OVERVIEW
The Tadano Mantis 10010MX is a diesel-powered, hydraulically operated, telescopic boom crawler crane. Its
maximum load capacity is 50 ton at a 10 ft radius (45.4 metric tons at 3m).
The 10010MX is operated from the crane operator’s cab. This main operating station provides for operation and
monitoring of all crane functions, including winch, boom, swing, and travel controls. All controls for normal crane
operations are arranged in the standard configuration for crane operation.
1.1.1 Service Conditions
The 10010MX was designed and built to operate in the following environment conditions:
Condition
Range
Temperature
-4°F (-20°C) to 115°F (46°C)
Altitude
<10800 ft (3300 m)
Wind Speed
Consult load chart provided with crane.
Options are available to extend the extremes of some of these service conditions. Please contact your Tadano
Mantis dealer for information regarding these options.

1.2 DIRECTIONAL REFERENCES
1.2.1 Crane Operations
When the words “right” and “left” designate direction in craning operations, they refer to the right- or left-hand side
of the 10010MX as viewed from the operator’s cab, no matter which direction the cab is facing.
1.2.2 Travel Operations
When the words “right” and “left” designate direction in travel operations, they refer to the right or left hand side of
the 10010MX as viewed with the operator cab facing forward. If the cab is facing backward (boom over the drive
end of the undercarriage), all travel control functions are reversed.
Always use caution when using the 10010MX’s travel controls as well as any other function.

1.3 BOOM LOAD CHARTS
The following diagram represents a load chart example. The load charts are classified in various categories,
depending on the crane's working configuration. For each job, the operator must select the table that is as close as
possible to the actual working position. It contains all data required for crane work. All the data required for crane
work must be entered in the RCI (Rated Capacity Indicator) before work is commenced.
The instructions provided in the "notes referring to the load chart" must also be observed.
1 = Work radius (distance between the center of the ring gear and the center of the bottom block or the load)
2 = Amount of counterweight, swing and/or working area and the specified track extension width
3 = Actual boom length
4 = Recommended parts of line reeving to achieve maximum rated capacity for each boom length with low speed
winch operation

1.3.1 Capacity Limits and General Conditions
The Tadano Mantis 10010MX Crane as manufactured by Tadano Mantis Corporation meets the requirements of
ASME B30.5 (2011) when specifically equipped. Structure and stability have been tested in accordance with SAE
J1063 and SAE J765, respectively. Lifting capacities as determined by boom length, angle, or lifting radius apply
only to machines as originally equipped by the manufacturer and in a properly maintained condition.
Capacities given are maximum covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and are based on a freely
suspended load with no allowance for factors such as out-of level operation, supporting surface conditions,
hazardous surroundings, experience of personnel, etc.
Establish practical working loads based on prevailing operating conditions such as, but not limited to, those
listed above.
When making lifts where capacities may be within a zone limited by structural strength, determine that the
weight of the load is known within ± 10% before making the lift.
DO NOT lift a load without consulting the load chart.
Deductions from rated capacities must be made for the
weight of the hook block, overhaul ball, slings, spreader
bar, or other suspended equipment.
Side pull on the boom is extremely dangerous and must be
avoided. DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s specified
maximum reeving.
Load radius is defined as the horizontal distance from the axis of rotation to the center of the lifting device
after load is applied.
Boom angle is the included angle between the longitudinal axis of the boom base section and the
horizontal axis, after lifting the load. The boom angle before lifting should be somewhat greater than
desired to account for boom deflection.
Boom angle/boom length relationships given in the load charts are an approximation of the resulting load
radius. The radius should be accurately measured.
Boom height dimensions are measured from ground to center of lower boom head sheave.
You may attempt to telescope the boom with a load within the limits of rated capacities. However, boom
angle, system hydraulic pressure, and/or boom lubrication may affect operation.
The load moment indicator system used on the 10010MX is an operational aid that warns the crane
operator of approaching overload conditions and also warns of over hoist conditions that could cause
damage to the equipment and injury to personnel.
The device is not and shall not be a substitute for good operator judgment, experience, and the use of
accepted crane operating procedures.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure safe operation of the crane and that he understands and
observes all supplied warnings and instructions.
Prior to operating the crane, carefully and thoroughly read and understand the information in this manual to
ensure knowledge of the operation and limitations of the RCI/A2B system and crane.
Proper functioning is dependent upon proper daily inspections and upon observation of the operating
instructions set forth in the RCI/A2B manual.

Conditions Contributing to the Risk of Tipping the
Crane
a. Load and/or working radius specified in the load
charts are not strictly adhered to.
b. Weight of the load is not determined before lifting.
c. Swinging of the load due to improper crane
operation.
d. Side load induced by pulling at an angle to the
booms longitudinal axis.
e. The ground is not capable of supporting the crane
and the suspended load.
f. The ground is uneven or sloped beyond acceptable
parameters as described in the load charts.
g. Insufficient distance between the crane and holes,
ditches, or other working surface instabilities.

1.5.9 Electrical Equipment
12 Vdc systems with two batteries (12V, 900 CCA each), three remote-operated spot lights, and strobes mounted
on the back corners for swing warning.
1.5.10 Swing
The superstructure rotates 360° around a shear ball slew bearing with an external gear that matches with the
swing drive pinion and bolts to the superstructure and the carbody. The hydraulic swing drive powers the system
and consists of a gear motor driving into a planetary reducer with a shaft mounted pinions providing infinitely
variable speeds of up to 2.2 rpm.
Swing braking is achieved through a “failsafe,” hydraulically released, spring applied, multi-disc wet brake, which
includes a foot applied service brake. The brake can be electrically actuated through a cab mounted switch into a
“locked-on” (parking) mode. A two-position house lock system is included. The operator may turn free swing mode
on and off through the display. Regular lubrication of the bearing is achieved through a cab mounted grease
applicator.
1.5.11 Fuel System
An 80 US gal (300 L) tank is bolted to the superstructure. The fuel filtration system consists of an inline fuel/water
separator as well as an engine mounted fuel filter.
1.5.12 Hydraulic System
The load sensing, open-loop hydraulic system is served by two variable volume pumps mounted in tandem. The
pumps provide a maximum output of 168 gpm (636 lpm) @ 2,200 rpm and maximum operating pressure of 4,800
psi (330 bar). An extra circuit is included for ready adaptation to hydraulic accessories.
The system includes two electro-hydraulically pressure and flow compensated valve banks. The 300 gal (1136 L)
capacity hydraulic oil reservoir has a spin-on filter-breather cap, clean-out access and a sump type drain. An air to
oil remote mounted cooler provides oil cooling with thermostatically-controlled, hydraulically driven fans. Hydraulic
oil filtering is achieved with three 5-micron full flow cartridge type filters designed to return in-tank with bypass
protection and an electronic bypass indicator.
System pressure test ports with quick disconnect fittings are provided for diagnostics.
1.6 UNDERCARRIAGE
1.6.1 Carbody
The welded steel, box type carbody is fabricated with square axles to accept the crawler side frames. The top
surface is precision machined to receive the slew bearing.
1.6.2 Side Frames
Two welded steel removable side frames are paired with a track group consisting of two top and thirteen bottom
oil-filled & sealed rollers. Each frame includes an oil-filled, self-lubricating idler and spring type, track tensioning
device. Standard track shoes are 36 in (900 mm) wide three bar semi-grousers. The side frames extend and
retract hydraulically and are electrically controlled from the cab.
1.6.3 Travel
Each side frame contains a pilot controlled, two-speed track drive. The drives are hydraulic piston motors, which
propel the crane at a low speed of 0.9 mph (1.5 km/hr) and at a high speed of 1.5 mph (2.4 km/hr). The internal
brake system is spring applied and automatically released upon actuation of the travel system. The hydraulic travel
system provides skid steering and track counter- rotation and achieves an unladed grade-ability of 68%.
