Tadano TM-1800 User manual

Most accidents that occur during crane operation and maintenance are caused by failure to
observe the basic safety rules and precautions. Before operating your crane or performing
maintenance, read and become familiar with all the safety precautions and recommenda-
tions given in this section. Remember that failure to observe even a single precaution could
involve you and the people around the crane in a serious accident.
Foreseeing potential dangers is vital for preventing accidents. All personnel working with
the equipment, including the supervisor and crane operator, should be sensitive to danger-
ous situations and take the necessary measures to prevent accidents.
Safety precautions and recommendations are outlined in this section and are also included
in the operation and maintenance instructions given in subsequent sections.
Warning labels are also provided on the crane .
The cautionary instructions in this manual and on the labels are identified as "DANGER",
"WARNING", "CAUTION" or "NOTICE". These terms are defined as follows:
[NOTICE]
NOTICE indicates an important operational or maintenance procedure or condition, which,
if not strictly observed, can result in damage to machine components or deteriorated
machine performance.
It is virtually impossible to anticipate every situation that might present a hazard. The safety
precautions given in this manual and on the crane decals are not exhaustive. It is important,
therefore, to strictly follow the instructions in this manual and be sensitive to potential dan-
gers in order to prevent bodily injury and damage to the equipment.
Remember that your most important duty is to ensure the safety of you, your co-workers
and any other people in the area.

Wear Approved Protective Gear
To ensure safety, be sure to wear a hard hat and
safety shoes during operation. You must also
wear other protective gear such as safety gog-
gles, a dust mask, ear plugs, protective gloves
and a safety belt, depending on the work condi-
tions.
Make sure that all protective gear normally func-
tions before wearing it.
Perform the Pre-Operational Inspection and Warming-up
Failure to perform inspection, maintenance or warm-up of the truck engine on a daily basis causes
the service life to be reduced, or may result in accidents.
Before starting each day’s operation, be sure to perform pre-operational inspection and warm up
the engine to make sure that the truck operates normally and has been properly maintained. If the
equipment is found to be defective, inform the supervisor of the details, repair the problem, and
then re-start the operation. Particularly in winter, make sure that the engine is sufficiently warmed
up before operation.
Check the Control Lever Positions Before Engaging the PTO
The truck engine may initiate some mechanical or hydraulic function as soon as the PTO is turned
ON, depending on the position of the control levers, resulting in a serious accident. Before engaging
the PTO, make sure that all control levers are set to the proper position.
Provide Sufficient Illumination during Night Work
Operation in the dark makes it difficult to ensure good footing and to locate persons or obstacles
around the crane. This increases the probability of an accident.
When operating the crane at night, use the working lamps so that motion and the load can be
clearly seen. Also provide additional lighting equipment to illuminate the surrounding area.

Do Not Allow Unauthorized People to Enter Work Site
Unauthorized people or vehicles in the work site
may result in a collision, injury or death.
Before starting operation, make sure that there
are no unauthorized people in the work site.
Also, post a “STAY CLEAR” sign and make
proper arrangements (by providing fences or by
posting security personnel) to keep unauthorized
persons out of the site.
When the crane must be operated under heavy
traffic, post a person to control traffic.
Anticipate Accident Situations
To deal with possible accidents or fires, provide a first-aid kit and fire extinguisher. Make sure that
working personnel know the location and proper usage of this equipment.
An emergency contact person and emergency liaison plan should be carefully prepared, and all
concerned personnel must be informed of the details.
Observe Working Rules
Neglecting work site rules may result in accidents. To ensure safe operation, observe all working
rules covering prohibited practices, precautions, and correct procedures.
Assign a Signal Person
During operation of the crane, assign a person to give instructions to the operator. Be sure to ob-
serve his/her instructions, particularly in the following conditions:
• When operating the machine near power lines.
• When the operator cannot see the load.
• To move the crane through a narrow path, or in the direction where the operator,s view is
blocked.
Always Maintain Decals
The warning decals on various parts of the machine provide important instructions for safe opera-
tion. Always keep the decals (labels) clean and visible.
Should decals become lost or damaged, order replacements from the nearest authorized TADANO
distributor or dealer.

Hold Work Site Meetings with Concerned Personnel
Neglecting to hold a meeting with concerned personnel and have sufficient communication among
relevant workers may result in accidents.
Before starting operation, discuss the following details thoroughly with the supervisor, rigging per-
sonnel, signal person, and all other concerned personnel.
Be sure to follow the determined matters.
• Review the weight (of the load) of load, lifting height, place to load and unload the truck, crane in-
stallation site, operating procedures, rigging procedure, etc. (to be determined based on the rated
lifting capacity table)
• Study the ground conditions of the crane installation site, and check whether there are buried ob-
jects such as tap water piping or gas piping.
• Review how to prevent an overturn accident (for example, use of base blocks and extension of
the outriggers).
• Assign a signal person and rigging personnel, and ensure mutual understanding of the signaling
method.
• Determine off-limit areas and provision of barricades (fences, rope, etc.)
• Review the working positions of all relevant workers.
• Review the emergency liaison plan, emergency contact person, and safety/health organization.
Study Work Site Conditions Carefully
Operating the crane without thorough attention to the surrounding conditions may result in acci-
dents.
Before starting work, be sure to inspect the work area, paths to the work site, the presence of any
obstacles and the locations of other machinery.
Check the work position so that you will not be caught in the equipment in case of an overturn acci-
dent.
Determine a Signaling Method for Multi-Crane Operation
When two or more crane work together, assign a signal person and ensure mutual agreement on
the signaling method. The operator must operate the crane cautiously according to the instructions
given by the signal person.

Rules for Operation (Outriggers, Stabilizers)
Set the Outriggers and Stabilizers on Firm Level Ground
Be sure to set the crane outriggers and stabiliz-
ers on firm level ground.
Operating the crane without extending the outrig-
gers and stabilizers may result in an overturn
accident. To operate the crane, be sure to ex-
tend the outriggers.
Do not set the outriggers on soft ground where
sinkage, landslide or collapse may occur, or near
an excavated hole or road shoulder.
If it is absolutely necessary to set the outriggers
and stabilizers on soft ground, insert base blocks
(steel plates) with sufficient strength and size to
stiffen the ground surface and prevent the ma-
chine from overturning.
Pay Attention When Extending Jacks
When extending jacks, keep other personnels away from the outriggers and stabilizers to avoid feet
being crushed under an extended jack.

Set the Outriggers and Stabilizers Properly
• Always extend the outriggers to the maximum width. Even if the crane can be operated with the
outriggers set to the minimum or middle extension width, make it a principle to set the outriggers
to the maximum width to ensure safe operation.
If it is absolutely necessary to operate the crane with the outriggers set to the minimum or middle
width, make sure that the actual load does not exceed the rated capacity corresponding to the ac-
tual outrigger extension width.
• Set the outriggers and stabilizers so that the crane bare frame is levelled.
• Extend the jacks of the outriggers and stabilizers until all the tires clear the ground.
Secure the Front Outriggers with Lock Pins
If a front outrigger is not secured with a lock pin, it may retract during crane operation. After extend-
ing the front outriggers, secure them with lock pins.

If it is absolutely necessary to set the outrigger
beams at the right and left to different extension
widths, make sure that the actual load does not
exceed the rated capacity corresponding to the
smaller outrigger extension width. If you swing
the boom carelessly from the side with the longer
outrigger beam to the other side with the shorter
outrigger beam with a load lifted, the truck may
overturn.
To swing the boom to the side with the shorter

Rules for Operation (General)
Do Not Lift a Load Exceeding the Rated Lifting Capacity
The rated lifting capacity is determined based on
the crane strength and carrier stability. If the
crane lifts a load exceeding the rated lifting ca-
pacity, the truck may be damaged or overturn.
Before lifting a load, be sure to review the lifting
capacity of your crane, referring to the rated lift-
ing capacity table. The lifting capacity varies
depending on the boom length, load radius,
boom swing position, etc.
The rated lifting capacity includes the weight of
the hook block, sling, etc.
Use Safety Devices Correctly
Improper use of safety devices including the AMA can lead to damage or overturn the crane.
Use all safety devices according to instructions in the manual.
Do Not Rely Exclusively on Safety Devices
A safety device is not a substitute for human skill and judgment.
AMA, for example, does not warn the operator about conditions on the ground, effects of wind, im-
properly adjusted devices, load being pulled sideways, or other possibly hazardous situations.
All safety devices are merely auxiliary means to help the operator perform the task at hand. Safe
crane work requires the qualities of a good operator, such as skill, experience, judgment, and safety
awareness.
Do Not Deactivate Any Safety Devices
Avoid any action that impairs normal operation of the safety devices.
Intentionally deactivating any safety device may result in the inability to detect overloading or over-
winding during operation, and lead to a serious accident.
Ensure that all safety devices are functioning correctly before starting any operation.

Before Lifting a Load
If the rigging procedure is improper, the load may drop, resulting in an accident.
Before lifting a load, check the following points:
• The actual load does not exceed the rated lifting capacity.
• The load is securely rigged with a proper lifting attachment.
• The hoisting wire rope is vertical so that the load can be lifted straight up.
• The safety latch of the hook block functions normally.
• The wire rope is not tangled or irregularly wound.
• The wire rope, chain and other lifting attachment have sufficient strength, and they are not dam-
aged or worn.
• The load is slung from a point just above its center of gravity so that the load is not overturned or
removed from the lifting attachments when it is being lifted from the ground, and that the lifting at-
tachments are not crossed or tangled.
• When rigging a load having a sharp edge, attach a softener pad to the sharp edge to prevent the
rigging, wire rope or load from being damaged.
When Lifting a Load, Consider Boom Deflection
When a load is lifted, the load radius increases
due to the boom deflection. In this condition, the
load swings forward and backward, and the
crane may be overloaded.
If the load swings when it is being lifted from the
ground, place the load on the ground to prevent
the load from swinging. Particularly, when lifting
a heavy load or the boom is substantially extend-
ed, consider the increased load radius before
lifting a load.
Lift Only One Load at Once
Do not lift two or more loads at once, even if the
total weight of these loads does not exceed the
rated lifting capacity. Otherwise, the loads become
unbalanced, or all the loads cannot be carefully
observed, which may result in an accident.
Lift only one load at a time.

Start Operation After the Engine Speed is Stabilized
Operating the crane at the idling speed may cause the load to swing due to fluctuations in engine
speed.
Increase the engine speed gradually until it is stabilized, and then start operation.
Operate According to Signals
During operation, obey the signals and instructions given by the signal person. However, an emer-
gency shut down signal must be acknowledged whoever gives it.
Lift a Load Clear of the Ground by Hoisting Up, Other than Raising or
Extending the Boom, Perform Winch Operation, Instead of Boom
Elevating/Extending Operation
When lifting a load from the ground, be sure to use the winch operation. Lifting a load from the
ground by raising or extending the boom causes the load to swing, which may result in an accident.
When a load is being lifted from the ground, stop the operation when the rigging rope is stretched,
and make sure that the load is balanced with respect to its center of gravity, is not stuck to the
ground, and will not hit surrounding objects.
Lift the load straight up. Stop the operation again to stop the swing of the load when it is a few inch-
es above the ground, and make sure that the rigging condition is proper, the load is securely held at
that position, and the crane is not overloaded. Then, re-start the operation.
Do Not Attempt to Lift an Object Subject to Restraining Force
If you attempt to lift a buried object such as plants or a structure embedded in the ground, unex-
pected stress is applied to the truck and crane, which may cause the equipment to be damaged or
overturned.
Do not attempt to lift an object driven or sunk into the ground such as a pillar or stake, or an object
buried in mud or sand such as a plant.
The crane is designed to lift objects that are completely free from any restraining force.
Make Sure That the Crane Is Not Overloaded
If the actual load almost reaches the rated lifting capacity, the crane may be overloaded when the
load swings. In this condition, exercise extreme caution when operating the crane.
When extending or lowering the boom, make sure that the crane is not overloaded, since these ac-
tions increase the load radius.
When the Crane is Overloaded
It is dangerous to raise or lower the boom abruptly when the crane is overloaded, since these ac-
tions may cause the truck to overturn. In this condition, lower the load onto the ground immediately
through winch operation.

When Removing a Load from the Truck Deck, Pay Attention to the
Carrier Stability
The stability of a bare truck is largely different from a truck with a load placed on the truck deck. As
the load mass is reduced, the carrier stability will deteriorate. Pay attention to vehicle stability, par-
ticularly when removing loads from the truck deck.
When removing loads from the truck deck, observe the following instructions to prevent an overturn
accident.
• Make sure that the actual load is not larger than the rated lifting capacity.
• To remove many loads from the truck deck, unload them one by one from the rearmost side so
that the load radius decreases in sequence.
• To swing the boom from the over-rear area to the over-side area, lower the load close to the
ground after the load is moved out of the truck deck, and then start swinging the boom.
Pay Attention When the Load or Hook is Difficult to See
Operating the crane without ensuring visual safety while the load or the hook block is out of the op-
erator’s view blocked by the cab may result in a collision, injury or death.
When the load or hook block is difficult to see from the operator’s position, post a signal person.
The operator must obey the signals and instructions given by the signal person.
Operate the Control Levers Carefully
Operating the control levers abruptly and carelessly causes the load to sway and can result in im-
pact or damage to the machine. It also causes the crane to be overloaded, and may result in an
overturn accident. Be sure to operate the control levers slowly and carefully.

(;

Swing the Boom Carefully
When the boom swings at a high speed, the load radius is increased due to centrifugal force on the
load. This effect causes the crane to be overloaded, and may result in an overturn accident. On the
other hand, if the boom swing is abruptly stopped, the load swings due to the inertia force. This ac-
tion is dangerous for surrounding people or objects, and may damage the boom or other
components.
Be sure to swing and stop the boom slowly. In particular, when the boom is substantially extended,
exercise thorough attention.
Exercise Caution When Simultaneously Operating Two or More Controls
When two or more controls are simultaneously operated, the crane operation speed may be re-
duced compared to when a single control is operated. On the other hand, when you switch from a
multi-control operation to a single control operation, the operation speed will be increased. When
operating two or more controls at the same time, pay attention to avoid an abrupt change in the op-
eration speed.
If an inexperienced operator handles two or more controls simultaneously, the machine may be im-
properly operated. Do not attempt to operate two or more controls simultaneously until you are
perfectly familiar with the multi-control operation.
Be Careful to Prevent Collision with Surrounding Objects
When moving a load, be careful to prevent the
load from hitting against a part of the truck or sur-
rounding objects.
When operating the crane in a place with many
obstacles, be sure to post a signal person. To pre-
vent a collision, the operator must move the load
according to the signals and instructions given by
the signal person.
Do Not Extend the Boom Longer Than Required
When the boom is extended longer than required, the rated lifting capacity is reduced. This also
causes the load to swing, and decreases work efficiency.
Make the boom as short as possible, for the intended work.

Exercise Caution When the Boom Angle is near the Upper Limit
When the boom is raised to almost the upper limit
angle, the clearance between the boom and the
load becomes small. If the load swings in this con-
dition, it may hit against the boom or the boom
elevating cylinder, resulting in damage to the load,
the boom and boom elevating cylinder.
When the boom angle is near the upper limit, oper-
ate the crane carefully to prevent the load from
hitting against the boom and the boom elevating
cylinder.
Be Cautious about Hydraulic Oil Temperature
When operating the crane, pay attention to make sure that the hydraulic oil temperature does not
exceed 180 °F (82°C ) . If the hydraulic oil temperature exceeds 180 °F (82°C ) , the high-pressure
hose and seals will be damaged by heat, and hot hydraulic oil can leak out, resulting in a fire defla-
gration.
During operation, observe the following instructions:
• If the hydraulic oil temperature exceeds 180 °F (82°C ) , stop the operation. Wait until the oil tem-
perature lowers, and then re-start the operation.
• Be cautious about the oil temperature when the ambient temperature is high in summer.
Also, exercise particular attention when operating the winch at a high lifting height, or operating the
crane continuously at high engine speed, since these operations will further raise the oil tempera-
ture.
Exercise Caution When Lifting a Dismantled Structure
It is very dangerous to lift a dismantled structure
whose weight and center of gravity are unknown.
Do not lift a load whose weight and center of gravi-
ty are unknown. Before starting operation,
thoroughly discuss the load weight, its center of
gravity and the work process with the supervisor.

Exercise Caution When Lifting a Load Submerged in Water
A load being lifted out of water may be heavier than expected, since it is impregnated with water.
Do not lift such a load rapidly. Lift slowly, allowing water to drain from the load.
After a load is lifted from water, it become heavier due to loss of buoyancy, even if water is com-
pletely drained from the load.
Exercise thorough caution so that the crane is not overloaded.
Exercise Caution When Lifting a Long Object
When a long object is being lifted, it may rotate. Be
careful to prevent the load from hitting the rigging
personnel, crane or surrounding objects.
Attach a proper guide rope to one or both ends of
the load to position the load, and to prevent the
load from rotating or swinging.
Do Not Wind Up the Hook Block Excessively
As the boom is extended, the hook block will be
raised. If the anti-twoblock device is deactivated
or bypassed, the automatic stop function will not be
activated even when the hook block is excessively
wound up. If the boom is further extended in this
condition, the hook block will hit against the boom
tip head, causing the load to drop due to wire rope
failure or the machine to be damaged.
Always pay attention to the hook height. If the
hook position is too high, let off some wire rope
from the winch to lower the hook block.
Wire Rope Must be Wound Properly on the Winch Drum
Lifting a load with the wire rope irregularly wound on the winch drum results in damage to the wire
rope. This also shortens the wire rope service life, and can cause the rope to break.
After replacing the wire rope, make sure that it is reeved correctly on the sheaves and winch drum.
If the wire rope is irregularly wound, rewind it properly.

(;

Keep Dead Wraps of Wire Rope on the Winch Drum
If the entire amount of wire rope is let off of the
winch drum, the frictional hold back force becomes
insufficient, and load is directly applied to the end
of the rope, causing damage or breakage of the
wire rope.
Always keep at least 3 wraps of wire rope on the
winch drum.
Exercise particular attention when the load is low-
ered below ground level.
Do Not Leave a Load Suspended For a Long Time
Do not leave a load suspended for a long time. Consider a work plan so that the load suspension
time will be as short as possible.
Do Not Use the Crane for Unintended Purposes
The crane is intended to lift objects.
Do not use the crane for other purposes. For ex-
ample, do not use the crane to lift a person(s) or
push an object with the boom.
Do Not Anchor the Machine
Do not attempt to lift a load exceeding the lifting
capacity by fixing the machine frame or outrigger
with wire rope at the side opposite to the load posi-
tion. Anchoring the truck frame or outrigger may
damage the truck and/or crane, resulting in an ac-
cident.

Do Not Divert Attention During Operation
It is very dangerous to be eating, look aside, or undertake other action that may divert the operator's
attention during operation.
When operating the crane, concentrate on controlling the equipment while watching the signal per-
son or the load being lifted.
Do Not Pass a Load Over People
It is very dangerous to pass the hook block or a
suspended load over people.
Do not allow anyone to enter the area below the
boom or load.
Do Not Pull a Load Sideways or Toward the Crane, or Lift a Load
Obliquely
It is very dangerous to pull a load sideways or to-
ward the crane or to lift a load obliquely. These
actions may damage the boom and the boom
swing mechanism, and may cause the truck to
overturn.
Do not attempt to pull a load located at a distance
beyond the load radius toward the crane. To lift a
load located at a distance, move the truck close to
the load, and lift it vertically.

Do Not Allow Anyone to Enter the Truck Driver’s Cab
If anyone accidentally steps on the accelerator pedal in the truck driver’s cab, the crane operation
speed rapidly changes and can result in a serious accident. During operation, do not allow anyone
to enter the truck driver’s cab.
Do Not Push or Pull Any Object with the Boom
Do not push or pull any object with the boom. Do
not lift up any object with the boom, and do not
push the boom against any object.
To move an object, lift it with the crane, or use a
dedicated machine such as a forklift.
Do not use the crane for other than its intended
purpose.
Do Not Lift a Load with Two or More Cranes
It is dangerous to lift a load with two or more
cranes, because this action displaces the center of
gravity of the load. This may cause the truck to
overturn, the load to drop, or the boom to be dam-
aged. Do not lift a load with two or more cranes.
