An operator should not operate when physically or mentally unfit, An operator should not start crane if'a "warning sign’ is located on crane. Before starting engine, operator should see that all personnel are in the clear, a Operator will test all controls at the start of a new shift An operator must never divert attention while operating. The operator must have the authority to stop and refuse to handle the load until safety has been assured. The operator is ultimately responsible for safe operation. (Before leaving cab, operator should: © Land any attached load, ©. Set the stew (swing) brake © Pullup the “Hyd.

G_ Operator should report defects, adjustments, or repairs required to supervisor and next ‘operator upon changing shifts © When extensions are added to the boom, the Load Rating Charts must be changed, © To reduce unnecessary stress, boom up to maximum angle before stopping the prime mover. The boom rest should only be used during transportation or in high wind. © When setting the boom in the rest, lower the boom until it barely touches the rest. DO NOT slacken the cables! Easing the cables risks “bird nesting” the rope on the drum, Hand Signals © Abhand signal chart, similar to the one included in t conspicuously. is section, should be posted 1 One designated person should be assigned to give signals before the load is lifted. BOL-SOI STANDARD CRANES_R03.doe Page 3 of 13 ‘The operator should respond to signals only from the appointed signal man, but should obey an "emergency stop" signal at anytime, no matter who gives it No response should be made unless signals are clearly understood. © For operations not covered by standard signals or for special conditions, additions or ‘modifications to the standard signals may be required. In such cases these signals should bbe agreed on in advance by operator and signal man and should not be in conflict with standard signals. a G._Ifinstruction must be given to the operator by other than by the established signal system, crane motions should be stopped. Operator should never start machine movement until signal man or complete load is within his range of vision, Attaching the Load Do not wrap hoist rope around the load. ‘Load should be attached to hook by means of slings or other approved devices. All hooks should have safety latches. oooo0 Inspect slings daily. Immediately remove defective slings from service, Provide protection between sling and sharp surfaces. aaa Provide proper storage for slings while not in use.

These controllers are spring loaded to the neutral (centet) position and provide independent, proportional, infinitely variable speed control for all of the primary crane motions. 3 When performing simultaneous operations involving two or more of the primary motions, the diesel engine should be operated at a constant speed between 1,800 and 2,170 rpm. Individual joysticks should be used to independently control the speed of the various crane motions. J) The “Left Hand” controller is a dual axis “Joystick” and controls the Swing (Slew) and Boom (Luff) hoist motions. ‘The “Right Hand” controller has two independent single axis “Joysticks.” The inside Control Lever controls the Auxiliary Hoist. The outside Control Lever controls the Main Hoist. Swing (Slew) Motion The Left Hand Joystick is moved to the left of center to “Swing Left” (counterclockwise), ‘of moved to the right of center to "Swing Right” (clockwise). Speed of rotation is proportionate to the amount of Control Lever movement from the center position, Start and stop swing motion as slowly and smoothly as possible to avoid possible damage to equipment or injury to personnel from a wildly swinging load. For open loop slew system, the crane is free to swing or drift when the joystick is in the center position, provided the swing brake pedal is not depressed and swing lock lever is not engaged. For closed loop slew system, the crane will hydrostatically lock once the joystick is in the center position. Ifthe free slew valve is activated, the crane is free to swing or drift with a heavier load Boom Hoist (Luff) Motion 11 The Left Hand Joystick is “pulled” back to raise the boom (reduce the radius) or “pushed” forward to lower the boom (increase the radius). a Boom Hoist motion is always under the control of the hydraulic system and cannot overrun, or freewheel in the lowering mode. Please refer to our ‘Description of Fail-Safe Features* document in the Introduction and Design Features section of Data Book | for more information on this subject, o The speed of movement, in both directions, is proportionate to the engine speed and amount of control lever movement from the center position. (The Boom Hoist brake(s) automatically set and lock the boom in position when the control lever is centered. 1 Simultaneous operation of both above motions is accomplished by moving the left hand joystick diagonally. Speed of operation of both motions is independently proportional to the displacement of the contral lever from the center position, For example, itis possible to raise the boom at maximum speed while the crane swings very slowly to the left Main and Auxiliary Hoist Motions 1 The appropriate right hand joystick is “pulled” back to raise the main or whip line (take in cable) or “pushed” forward to lower the main or whip line (pay out cable. 11 Hoist motion is always under the control of the hyydraulic system and cannot overrun or freewheel in the lowering mode.

Moving the joystick away from center to the right will apply a "braking torque" to the crane motion, hence stopping rotation more quickly. 1D The crane and its associated swing system machinery are protected from damage during this operation by means of torque limiting hydraulic valves. These valves will limit the amount of swing torque available during acceleration and deceleration of the crane, However, tis strongly recommended that swing motion should start and stop as slowly and. smoothly as possible to avoid possible damage to equipment or injury to personnel from a wildly swinging load. (With an open loop swing system the crane and load can be held in position against the wind by means of the Foot Pedal Brake (if equipped) or centering of the joystick, when equipped with the hydrostatic drive, “Cross controlling,” as described above, is the preferred method for stopping rotation. (1 With a closed loop swing system the crane will hydrostatically lock once the slew joy stick is centered, The crane will not move until given direction. If equipped with a free slew valve the crane will be able to follow a heavy load minimizing a side load a ‘The crane may be locked in position indefinitely by means of the “Swing Lock” brake fever ‘mounted in the control console. When this lever is in the “Engaged” position, the crane is locked against rotation, Any attempt to rotate the crane by means of the swing control lever, while the lock is engaged, will result in the hydraulic swing motor being stalled against the lock. This is not harmful and will not damage any portion of the swing machinery.

These are designed as heavy, non-precision joints. The components have been welded out using jigs, which hold the fabrications in position, but due to weld draw, the bolted splice connections may not be an exact fit. Although a majority of the pad will be touching, small gaps are common. ‘These gaps are NOT critical and do not affect the stability of the connection provided the bolts have been torque to the correct value. ‘© Install all bolts with the threads down so water will not collect between the threads and nuts. Boom bolt heads must face the boom point. + Place a hardened flat washer under the nut of each bolt that complies with SeaTrax ‘Specifications for Large Diameter Nuts & Bolts.” Torque all bolts according to size & grade (see chart on next page). Subsequent Inspections: + Visually check that boom connector pads are flush. There may be some gap due to uneven surfaces between the two pads, but the gap should not be continuous throughout the entire pad area. A good way to check the bottom bolts is to raise the boom slightly out of the boom cradle before checking for gaps. Check to see if gap closes when boom is set back in the cradle * Check the torque by applying proper torque with a torque wrench. If the nut tums, record this condition and recheck after 12 - 24 hours of operation. If the nut tums again, change the bolt, nut and hardened flat washer.

Inspect the shackle eyelet in the hook for deformation or damage. If itis significantly deformed, the hook should be taken out of service. Latehes will not work properly on hooks with bent or worn tips. Always visually inspect any shackle before using and verify it is the correct rating (tons) for that load, and that itis not visibly deformed or missing the nut or cotter pin. Inspect the bolt of the shackle to insure it is not bent or damaged. ‘Never repair, alter, rework, or reshape a hook by welding, heating, buming, or bending. Non-conforming hooks should be replaced. Load Block Inspection Visibly verify that the load block sheave(s) have been properly greased, are in good. condition, and rotate freely. There should be no visible cracks in the load block weldment. ‘The load block bearing should be properly greased and rotate freely. During the annual inspection, the shaft and sheaves must be removed, cleaned, and thoroughly inspected. Overhaul Ball Inspection ‘Visually inspect the “stinger line” (from overhaul ball to hook) checking for broken wires, damaged hook or loose/missing bolts/pins. During the quarterly inspection, remove the bolts at the bottom of the overhaul ball and slide it up. Inspect the bushing (at the top of the block), swivel, pins, wedge socket, and wire rope See the Rigging section of Data Book | for proper methods of inspecting wire rope (stinger cable).

DO NOT engage the Boom Lock while the drum is turning, it is not designed as a brake. DO NOT engage the Boom Lock and drive the hoist in the down direction. This can damage the lock assembly and gearbox. Boom Lock Operation: ‘The new boom lock has been specifically designed to require two people to operate because crane operators tend to use it for more than a maintenance tool and forget it is engaged. To engage the Boom Lock, have a maintenance person stand on the gearbox side of the boom hoist and locate the handle for the Boom Lock. With one hand, push the handle forward. As the handle moves forward, the latch will release. With the other hand, pull the latch up against the handle. ‘Allow the handle and latch to move to the back under the pressure of the spring. The operator can now very gently boom down until the boom lock is fully engaged and the boom stops lowering (the boom point may move less than a foot).

The boom limit system consists of a "boom kick-out" weldment which rotates about the boom pivot point, with an extension lever which attaches to the boom, so it moves up and down exactly as the boom does. On the circular section of the kick-out are mounted two Cam Plates ‘with a ramped surface on each. Each plunger slide actuates a piston, which operates a cartridge- mounted hydraulic control valve. These valves are mounted inside the valve body, which is bolted to the upperworks at the boom pivot point. OPERATION When the left hand joystick is pulled back, hydraulic oil from the control circuit is sent to the up side of the boom control valve. Between these two points is the boom kick-out. As the boom is raised, the arm of the kick-out raises also until Pinger Slide "A" contacts its piston, This actuates the cartridge valve and dumps pressure from the joystick to the tank; therefore, the control valve no longer receives the signal to boom up. As the boom is lowered, the arm of the kick-out moves down until Plunger Slide "B" contacts its piston, again causing oil pressure 10 ‘dump back to the tank. ADJUSTMENT: Refer to the Boom Kick-out drawing in the General Bill of Materials and Component Data section of Data Book 1 Each Plunger Slide plate has two curved slots, which allow the plate to move back and forth along @ fixed radius, corresponding to a range of different boom positions. The "A" plunger slide should typically be adjusted to provide a minimum of 12" of clearance between the boom and the boom stops when the valve kicks out at maximum angle. If the distance is not correct, loosen the two %" bolts attaching the plunger slide, and move it in the proper direction to produce the desired result. NOTE: For cranes equipped with Counter-Luffing boom stops, this adjustment should be limited to six to eight inches of full compression on the boom stop cylinders. ‘The Boom Hoist Kick-out should be tested several times while raising the boom, first low speed and then full speed, to ensure that the boom does not contact the boom stops with excessive force. The next step is to adjust the low angle limit on the kick-out system. The "B" plung: slide should be adjusted so that the valve kicks out when the boom is horizontal, 12" below the boom cradle. Adjust the plunger slide as necessary, and re-tighten the bolts. The kiek-out may require periodic readjustment throughout the life of the crane, This system is a SAFETY FEATURE and should NEVER be disconnected. Boom Limit_Hydraulic_R2.doe Page of! KEATS Dt P.O.

NO Fane 1, 2006 Hydraulic System Adjustments for High Pressure Cranes Pressure Relief Valves Pressure relief valves are installed in a circuit to make certain that system pressure does not exceed safe pre-set limits, Relief valves are intended to relieve occasional excess pressures arising during the course of normal operation. Excess fluid is allowed to return to the reservoir through an outlet port in the valve while full adjusted pressure is maintained in the system, Check pressure by observing the gauge located on the operator's console. NOTE: All hydraulic system adjustments should be performed only when the engine and hydraulic system are at normal operating temperature. If the crane is cold and has not been run, start the engine and run the crane to allow the hydraulic oil to warm to near normal operating temperature. Main/Auxiliary and Boom Hoist (Refer to Control Vaive and Pump Drawings) 1, Locate the pump and corresponding control valve and brake actuator. 2. On the brake actuator, disconnect and plug the line running from the brake release valve to the brake release actuator (brake line closest to hoist frame). 3. Look at the pump from the back. Find the regulator assembly (this is located 90° clockwise from the suction pipe). There are two adjustment screws on the backside (there may be a cone shaped cover over them that must be removed. Only adjust the one furthest clockwise. Loosen the jam nut and tum this screw all the way in, DO NOT adjust the other screw. 4. On the control valve, locate the pressure relief valve (this may be covered by @ disposable orange cap). Loosen the jam nut and back out the screw one full turn. 5. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. 6. Have the operator drive the corresponding hoist in the full down position at full throttle This should be held during the complete adjustment process. (Since the brake release line has been disconnected the hoist should not move.)

Read the pressure on the corresponding pressure gauge in the cab. It should be about 2000 psi 8. On the control valve, slowly turn the screw in until the pressure reaches 6,000 psi. Lock the jam nut at this pressure. 9. Return to the pump and back out on the adjustment screw until the pressure drops to 5,800. Lock down the jam nut, 10, Reconnect the brake release line. Pressure adjustment on the pump and valve is now complete. For Safety, DO NOT set operating pressures above 5,800 ps NOTE: Since the main hoist and auxiliary hoist share the same pump, control valve, and relief valve, all auxiliary hoist relief valve adjustments are completed using the main hoist, as, detailed above.

Flow should not be permitted to spill over the high-pressure relief valves for longer than 10 seconds, especially at higher pressures. 1. Block the output flow from the high pressure ports A&B or lock the hydraulic motor by applying the brake. Tum both high pressure relief valve adjusting screws counterclockwise until the spring tension is completely relieved, then turn both adjusting screws one full turn clockwise 3. Tum Pressure Over-Ride adjustment screw in (clockwise) until firm resistance is encountered DO NOT FORCE THE ADJUSTMENT BEYOND THIS POINT. 4, Stroke the pump in one direction and adjust the high-pressure relief for that flow direction to a pressure, which is 500 psi higher than the required Pressure Over-Ride setting, 5. Repeat step 4 for the opposite direction of flow. Control System Relief Valve 1, Start the engine and let it idle for five minutes. 2. Allow the engine to warm up and the engine to idle (about 950 RPM). Read the Control System pressure gauge while the engine is idling. The gauge should read approximately 600 psi +50 psi with the crane at normal operating temperature, 3. If the pressure is not correct, find the control system pressure relief valve. Loosen the rear knurled jam nut and screw the front knob into valve (clockwise) to raise pressure, or unscrew (counter-clockwise) to lower pressure until gauge reads 600 psi. If the pressure does not increase, the control system filter may require replacement if installed in the line before the relief valve. (Refer to the hydraulic schematic under the General Documentation section of Data Book 1.) 4. Raise engine to maximum RPM and check the pressure gauge: it should read no higher than about 700 psi. If the pressure is substantially higher, this may indicate a problem with the relief valve. Long term usage in this condition can artificially shorten the life of seals in the control system.

The brake band is tightened around a drum via by the force of @ brake actuator acting on a linkage. The exact arrangement differs based on crane model and customer configuration, however the principles of inspecting, adjusting, testing and replacing the brakes are the same. When a hoist is not being operated, its brake actuator holds tension on the brake band by use of an internal spring(s) extending a piston rod. This is attached to @ brake push rod connected to a brake lever, which tightens the brake band to set the brake. When a hoist is operated, hydraulic pressure to the brake actuator forces an internal piston to retract the piston rod — compressing the spring(s) ~ acting on the brake push rod and brake lever to release the brake. BRAKE SHOWN IN APPLIED POSITION HoistDrumBrakeMaint_ROO.doc Page 1 of4 INSPECTION The brake band and associated components should be periodically inspected for wear or deformation: © Brake band: Should have a jam nut and lock washer on the inside - toward the band - with a flat washer and adjusting nut on the outside Brake band lining: Sufficient thickness, ie., the rivets are not wearing into the drum. Band weldment: Check for cracks or deformation Nuts: Tight and properly torqued 1 Brake band bushing (eccentric pin rotates within): Check for wear ~ this is the most commonly wor part. Eccentric pin: © Check for wear — damage can occur once the brake band bushing wears through, ©. Orientation: the pin MUST be at the point nearest the drum while the brake is engaged. Having the eccentric pin in the wrong position can cause the brake to apply improperly and/or result in excessive wear and eventual failure. Brake arm: The brake lever arm must be near vertical while the brake is engaged: a 90° angle (= 5°) to the brake pushrod. Brake actuator and associated hoses: Check for leaks 2. Shoulder bolts and cotter pins: Check condition and tightness. Brake: Holds when tested. TESTING To test that a brake will hold when applied: 1. Disconnect brake actuator “pressure to release” line. 2. Rum hoist in the down direction at full power to ensure brake holds. 3. Ifbrake squeals or does not hold, see ADJUSTMENT. 4, If the drum does not turn, reattach all hoses: testing is complete. HoistDrumBrakeMaint_RO0.doc Page 2 of 4 1 ADJUSTMENT All adjustments and testing should be done with no load unless otherwise stated, Follow these steps to adjust the tension on a drum brake: Inspect each brake assembly as noted previously under INSPECTION 2. If the eccentric pin or brake arm on each brake assembly are not positioned correctly, they must first be reset to the positions described under INSPECTION 2.1-Loosen the jam nut several tums. 2.2.Back out the adjusting nut until itis at the end of the threads. 2.3.Release the joystick to reset the brake and fully engage/extend the brake actuator; at this point there should be no tension on the brake band, 2.4.Adjust the eccentric pin and brake arm to the point nearest their correct position 2.5.Gently push joystick in the down direction while tightening the adjusting nut: this will cause the brake to reiease before the motor has sufficient pressure to tum, easing adjustment of the brake band nuts. WARNING: Keep body parts and clothing away from rotating drum. 2.6,Periodically release the joystick and check the angle of the brake arm (it should remain near vertical, ie., at a 90° angle (= 5°) to the brake pushrod. 2.7.Tighten the jam nut and test the brake in the down direction. 2.8.1f the brake holds, adjustment is complete, if not, go to the next step. Loosen jam nut, release brake, and tighten the adjusting nut 1 turns. Tighten jam nut and test brake. Lf brake fails to hold, repeat steps 3 and 4 only one more time, If the brake still fails to hold, then either the brake band or actuator is faulty (assuming that all parts are installed correctly.) 6.1.Remove the brake band and inspect the lining. If the rivets are not wearing against the drum and the band is not oil soaked, then reinstall the band, Otherwise, replacement is necessary. 6.2. Remove and disassemble the brake actuator: the most common causes of failure are worn seals ‘or broken springs. Ifthe piston cylinder is not scarred, then the actuator can be rebuilt, but replacement is suggested, HojstDrumBrakeMaint_RO0.doe Page 3 of 4 NEW BRAKE BAND INSTALLATION NOTE: If the joystick is gently moved forward, the brake will release before the motor has enough pressure to tum. This will make it easier to adjust the auts holding the brake band. 1 4 Remove band nut and flat washer. Remove cotter pin from eccentric pin. Slide the threaded end of the brake band out of the hoist frame. Remove band eyelet hole from eccentric pin. Remove '” bolt and retainer cap from brake arm. Remove eccentric pin from hoist frame. Inspect the complete eccentric pin for grooves or excessive wear. A pin should be replaced if there are any grooves in the small pin portion. Inspect the two eccentric pin bushings in the hoist frame. Replace as needed. 9. Clean and install eccentric pin (do not lubricate pin or bushings). 10. Rotate eccentric pin to correct position and install brake arm, retaining cap, and bolt with lock washer. Coat bolt threads with Loctite 242. 11. Remove the jam nut and lock washer from the old band and install them on the new band (if new pparts are not supplied). If new nuts or washers are installed, they must adhere to the SeaTrax “Specifications for Large Diameter Bolts and Nuts” in the Inspection and Maintenance section of Data Book 1 12. Install brake band over drum and insert the eyelet over the eccentric pin, 13. Insert cotter pin through the eccentric pin, and threaded portion of band through the hoist frame. 14, Release tension from the brake actuator and install the flat washer and band nut. 15. Now you MUST burn-in the new band. NEW BRAKE BAND “BURN-IN” If the brake band must be replaced, itis necessary to “burn-in” the new band to prepare the brake lining for operation and to conform the band assembly to that particular drum. Once a band is burned-in to a drum. do not use it on a different drum: IT MAY NOT HOLD. When buming-in a new band, the hoist must rotate in the UP direction only. 1. Lower the hoist to its lowest position. ‘While raising the hoist at wide-open throttle, tighten the band nut until the hoist begins to strain but does not stop. Hydraulic pressure should be within the 1,800 to 2,000 psi range as indicated by the Hoist Pressure Gauge in the operator's console. 3. When the hoist is at its highest point, loosen the nut slightly. 4, Repeat steps 1-3 until the band starts to smoke, 5, Once the band is smoking, leave the band nut tight and wait until the band cools down. 6. Afier the band has cooled, follow the steps in the preceding ADJUSTMENT section. ceMaint_RO0.doc Page 4 0f 4 ry SEATRAX" 2.0. 80x 840687, Houston, Texas 77284 Phone: 713 896 6500 Fax: 713896 6611 28 June 2001 Boom Butt Bushing Replacement This procedure describes the replacement of boom butt bushings on all SeaTrax® cranes, 1, Lay boom into boom rest.

A separate crane is not required to lift a SeaTrax crane completely off the fixed Kingpost. Operation ‘The SeaTrax bearing system consists of two sets of bearings. The upper bearing is a circular bushing block, which is located at the top of the Kingpost. A circular steel frame at the top of the gantry surrounds the bearing. Above this is the bearing thrust plate and collector ring assembly. The vertical force component due to the crane and horizontal force component (the overturning moment) of the crane and load is transferred to the fixed Kingpost through the cylindrical section of the upper bearing at the top, and through the bearing shoes at the bottom. The lower bearing shoes pin directly to the turntable at the base of the Upperworks. Bearing Wear ‘The upper bearing should be replaced if 14" (50%) of the 1" thick material has worn away from its inside diameter, or from the horizontal surface. ‘The lower bearing shoes should be replaced when no more than %" (30%) of the 4” thick material has worn away from the middle of the shoe. If the plastic bearing material wears away to the point of metal-to-metal contact, the crane will make a dragging noise or may refuse to swing, especially with a heavy load. If metal-to-metal contact occurs, the crane should be stopped immediately and the problem corrected. Continued use of the crane can damage the kingpost-bearing surface and require extensive repairs.

Remove rear shoes to allow movement. Center the Upperworks on the Kingpost by placing three 50-ton pancake jacks on the ring gear below the Upperworks (2 on the sides and one in the front). Remove the front shoe retaining pins and pull the shoe assemblies straight up. Remove the four screws, which mount the plastic shoe to the steel shoe support. Install the new shoes to the steel shoe support and tighten the mounting screws. Apply a liberal amount of EP multi-purpos and the bearing surface of the Kingpost. rease to the bearing surface of the new shoe Install the front shoe assemblies to the turntable and reinstall the retaining pins. Release hydraulic jack to allow the Front Shoes to come to rest against the Kingpost. Install the Rear shoes. Grease cach bearing with a grease gun. The crane is now ready to operate. NOTE: The side and rear shoes do not wear out as rapidly as the front shoes, and in an emergency they can be rotated with the front shoes until new ones arrive.
