Section 1 - General Safety Practices

Tip Over Hazard

• Understand how to properly use the capacity chart located in cab. Do notexceed rated lift capacity. Plan the lift to be sure it can be performed safely.

• Maintain proper tire pressure at all times.

• Do not depend on machine tipping as a warning of overload. Some load ratingsare based on hydraulic lift capacity, not stability.

• Do not increase hydraulic relief settings to lift a load.

• Sudden swing braking can cause unexpected movement of the load and tip themachine.

• Tether suspended loads to restrict movement.

• Never pass load line over open bucket. Relief valves in bucket circuit could causeunexpected, dangerous movement of the load. Bucket linkage could also bedamaged.

• Be sure the surface excavator is on is firm enough to support unit and allows foradequate traction.

• Do not travel over excessively steep slopes or excessively rough terrain.

• No load in bucket, attached to boom or any other part of machine during off-highway grade travel.

Section 2 - Pre-Operation and Controls

System Status

The System Status bar is used to display machine system status. When themachine system is functioning normally, “SYSTEM OK” is displayed.

When the machine system has an alarm or fault present, it will display along withother alarms of the same level. Levels are separated as “Critical” or “Warning”. Thesystem status bar will display the alarm text and then the alarm level. For example:

Scenario 1 - Low fuel level warning: System status bar will display “LOW FUELLEVEL” then “CRITICAL ALARM” and cycle those messages until no alarm ispresent.

If more than one alarm is present, the system status bar will display them one byone, then display the level of that group of alarms. For example:

Scenario 2 - Low fuel level and battery charge warning: System status bar willdisplay “LOW FUEL LEVEL”, then “LOW BATTERY CHARGE” followed by“CRITICAL ALARM” and cycle those messages until no alarm is present.

When a new alarm or fault condition is detected, the message bar will add the alarmto the list and will be cycled in the system status bar. Sound and visual feedback willalso indicate alarm condition until the alarm is recognized by the operator.Recognition of the alarm is performed by pressing Keypad Input “4”. Recognition of“critical” alarms will change their status to “warning”. There are a few alarms whichcan only be recognized or silenced for a specific amount of time. See page 2-19 fordetails.

The system status bar will only display one group of alarms. “Critical” alarms willhave display priority. For example, in Scenario 2, we if both alarms are silenced andthe system status bar would change to “LOW FUEL LEVEL” “LOW BATTERYCHARGE” “WARNING ALARM”. If the operator only silenced one of those alarms,the other will remain as “critical” and will be the only one in the display cycle.

In case both alarms are silenced (status changed to “warning” level) and a newcritical alarm is detected, the new alarm will be displayed instead of the two silencedones. For example, if high water temperature is detected, the system status bar willdisplay “HIGH WATER TEMP 200F”, then “CRITICAL ALARM” and cycle them untilprevious alarms expire and join the “critical” alarm cycle, or if the critical alarmcondition is cleared. If the critical alarm is cleared to a “warning” level, all threepresent warning alarms will cycle in the system status bar (if they are still present).

Section 3 - Operation

3.3 BRAKE SYSTEMThe brake system includes service brakes, parking brakes and digging brakes.

NEW BRAKES. New brakes need increased stopping distance. Brake capability will improve after several stops. Failure to stop may result in death or serious injury.

BRAKING HAZARDS. Always wear seat belt to avoidbeing thrown from driver’s seat during brakingemergency.

Do not “fan” the brake valve pedal. A long series ofrapid brake applications could reduce system pressureto a point where effective service braking will be lostuntil brake pressure is restored.

Section 3 - Operation

3.4 TRAVEL MODESThere are at least five modes of travel which should be considered separately:

• Moving machine less than 4.6m (5 yds)

• Performing grading operations

• Moving machine to a different area of worksite

• Over-the-road travel

• Lifting & Placing a Load, (see page 3-16 for details)

These five travel modes do not cover all possible travel conditions, but a thoroughunderstanding of these travel modes will enable the operator to select proper controloptions for other conditions.

Regardless of the operation being performed:

• ALWAYS fasten seat belt when seated in the cab.

• Unless immediate travel will be on a flat and level surface, always move axleoscillation lock switch to “unlock” or “auto” position. Traveling with oscillationcylinders locked could cause an unstable condition.

Moving Machine Less than 4.6m (5 yds)

Note: It is assumed the machine is performing a ditching or similar operation.

1. Switch travel alarm to “work mode”, place machine in first gear and ensure dig brake is switched to “Auto”.

Note: If unit is working from a roadway, be sure all required traffic control devices/persons are in position.

2. Align upperstructure and chassis with cab facing direction of travel.

3. If lowered, raise outriggers and blade (if equipped). Select appropriate direction of travel with the Travel Direction/Gear Select Switch.

4. Ensure adequate clearance along travel path. Pay attention to how unit must be steered to avoid obstacles. Pay attention to orientation of upperstructure with chassis to avoid steering and travel in the wrong direction.

5. Sound horn to warn others of intention to travel.

6. Depress travel pedal to move unit to new position. Dig brake will release when travel pedal is depressed and engage when travel pedal is released.

Section 3 - Operation

Performing Grading Operations

If machine is equipped with optional blade, light to medium grading operations canbe performed. “Medium” grading is defined as moving loose or previously brokenmaterial. Material must not spill over top of blade. If material spills over top of blade,grading will be distorted. There is no provision to tilt the blade. Use excavatingfunctions to create a roughly “level” condition before grading.

The machine equipped with a blade is not to be used for “bulldozing”. Use of themachine in this manner will shorten component life.

1. Position machine on surface parallel (side-to-side) to desired grade. Axle Osclillation Lock Switch should be in “unlocked” position. Switch travel alarm to “work mode”.

2. Select forward travel and first gear with the Travel Direction/Gear Select Switch.

3. Using Front Blade/Left Front Outrigger Enable Switch, enable the blade and adjust height using the right hand joystick.

4. Place Dig Brake Switch to “Auto” or “Off” (as condition requires). If “Off” is selected, Service Brake Pedal must be used to slow or stop machine.

5. Depress Travel Pedal to obtain appropriate travel speed and adjust blade height as needed for grading operation.

Moving Machine to a Different Worksite

Follow the procedure for Moving Machine Less than 4.6m (5 yds) on page 3-6, butuse the following information to adjust travel procedure.

Worksite conditions are unpredictable and do not allow for exact procedure formoving the machine. Inspect the intended travel path for hazardous conditions andplan move accordingly. Consider the following conditions to select the safestpossible move:

Is travel path on-road or off-road, or both?

• If both, determine point at which you must stop and adjust machine controlsfor new conditions.

Consider travel speed.

• If travel path terrain is rough, select lower gear. This makes operational speedeasier to control.

• If travel path terrain is smooth and grade is not too steep, high gear can beselected.

Consider terrain.

• If travel path includes rough terrain, place Axle Oscillation Lock Switch to“unlock” position. Engage Swing Lock for over-the-road travel.

Page 66: Operator & Safety Manual - Gradall Excavator Manualsmygradall.com/pdf/operators_manuals/80644002_C_Series III Rough … · † AEM Hydraulic Excavator Safety Manual † All instructional

Section 3 - Operation

Consider brake mode.

• If traveling at a low speed and in low gear, Dig Brake Mode Select Switch canbe set to “Auto” for stopping the machine when travel pedal is released.

• If traveling at high speed and in high gear, Dig Brake Mode Select Switchshould be “Off” and service brake pedal should be used for slowing andstopping the machine.

Over-the-Road Travel

Over-the-road travel is permitted when it is in compliance with federal, state/provincial and local laws and traffic regulations. Special conditions such as slowmoving vehicle signs, permits, clearances, escort cars, etc. may be needed. Do notoperate machine on the road until all conditions are known and met.

Perform the following procedure in preparation for over-the-road travel:

1. Align upperstructure and chassis with cab facing front. Engage swing lock. See page 2-24 for details.

2. Postion boom for travel.

3. Engage joystick lock. See page 2-24 for details.

4. Switch Axle Oscillation Lock Switch to “unlocked” position.

3.6 LIFTING & PLACING A LOAD - XL3300III, XL4300III & XL5300III

LIFTING & POSITIONING LOADS. Failure to plan alift properly could result in death or serious injury.

The automatic boom tilt brake will not prevent boomfrom tilting in response to an external load. Load mustbe centered under bucket adapter with boom levelfrom side to side.

Precautions

• Use the lift capacity chart to calculate maximum load. Keep in mind, theattachment weight and rigging must be added to the load, then compared to thevalue on the lift capacity chart.

• If it becomes necessary to shut the engine off while positioning a load, place loadon the ground prior to shutting off engine.

• Be thoroughly familiar with excavator hand signals shown at the end of themanual.

• Operate machine at full throttle and do not shut off engine with suspended load.

• Do not travel with suspended load positioned over the side of the machine.

• Suspend loads only as shown above. Passing load line over open bucket cancause uncontrolled movement of load.

• To lift loads, level boom from side to side and close adapter fully against stops.Pass thru adapter as shown and be certain chain is locked on itself.

Section 3 - Operation

General

There is a lift capacity difference between the excavator’s best and worst liftpositions. Just because it can lift a load from one point does not mean it can safelydeliver the load to any other point.

Prior to lifting and placing a load, map out the lift, swing, and lower path to ensurethat capacity, both hydraulic and stability tipping limits, are not exceeded. The bestlifting position is over the rear with the excavator level and the boom fully retracted.

You must plan the lift based on the worst condition of the lift and delivery, not thebest. The worst condition can only be determined by performing an UNLOADEDTEST AND DELIVERY of the load.

Loads shown on chart in cab are hydraulic lift capacities with those in shaded areaindicating tipping limits. Exceeding these capacities can cause a relief valve to openallowing the load to fall or in some cases, the machine to tip over.

Positioning Machine For A Lift

The machine must be on a firm, level surface when making a lift.

The shorter the load radius, the greater the lift capacity. Position the unit to minimizeboom extension and swing while keeping adequate distance from obstructions andexcavations.

Position machine to gain maximum visibility of load and delivery point. If conditionsdo not permit a clear view, use a signal person.

Section 3 - Operation

Planning A Lift

Note: Lift capacities are based on machine being on a firm, level surface and also no load being suspended beneath bucket adapter. Do not travel with suspended load positioned over the side of the machine.

1. Determine the weight of the load including weight of slings, chains, bucket/attachment (tool), and auxiliary lifting devices. Refer to lift capacity chart for weight adjustment required for bucket.

2. Move the machine to the best position for making the lift.

3. Perform an unloaded trial run of lift to determine maximum boom height/depth and load radius required to complete the lift.

4. Measure boom height/depth from hole in adapter to ground level (same level as bottom of tire). Be sure to allow for length of chain and height of load.

5. Measure load radius from inner corner of frame at front of cab to vertical load line (as shown above) and add distance to center of rotation (63 inches).

6. Refer to lift capacity chart column for required load radius. If required radius is between columns, use column for next larger radius.

7. Check the appropriate capacities for required boom height/depth. The smaller of these capacities is the maximum load permitted for lift conditions.

Note: To determine working load limits the operator must also consider wind, hazardous conditions, experience of personnel and proper load handling.

8. Lower outriggers (and blade, if equipped) to increase stability.

9. Place Axle Oscillation Lock Switch to “Lock” position to increase stability. This provides a rigid support betwen the front axle and upperstructure.

Carrying a Load

With load picked and boom in desired position:

1. Raise outriggers and blade (if equipped).

2. Move Joystick Lock switch to “Lock” position to prevent accidental control actuation.

3. Attach tag lines to the load. Additional personnel must keep load in proper alignment during carry function using tag lines.

4. Move Axle Lock Oscillation Switch to “unlocked” position.

CARRYING LOADS. Never carry load with axleoscillation lock switch in “locked” or “auto” position.This could cause a loss of traction and an unstablesituation resulting in a serious accident.

5. Select travel speed based on terrain and/or walking speed of those holding tag lines.

6. With service brake pedal engaged, move Dig Brake Mode Select Switch to “Off” position. Always use service brake pedal when carrying a load to slow or stop machine.

7. Observe personnel guiding load with tag lines and clearance point between load and ground while traveling to the delivery point.

Delivering a Load

With machine at delivery point location:

1. With service brake pedal engaged, move Dig Brake Mode Select Switch to “Auto” or “On” position.

2. Move Joystick Lock Switch to “unlocked” position.

3. Lower outriggers and blade (if equipped) to increase stability.

4. Move Axle Oscillation Lock Switch to “lock” position to increase stability.

5. With tag lines attended as needed, position load at delivery point.

• Use only Gradall approved attachments.

• Before selecting specific attachments for specific models, consult the load charton the model literature and consult either an authorized Gradall distributor orGradall.

If any of the above conditions are not met, do not use the attachment.

4.2 UNAPPROVED ATTACHMENTSUse only approved attachments. Attachments which have not been approved for use with your excavator could cause machine damage or an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

Do not use unapproved attachments for the following reasons:

• Gradall cannot establish range and capacity limitations for “will fit,” homemade,altered, or other non-approved attachments.

• An overextended or overloaded excavator can tip over with little or no warningand cause death or serious injury to the operator and/or those working nearby.

• Gradall cannot assure the ability of a non-approved attachment to perform itsintended function safely.

4.3 ATTACHMENT OPERATION• Capacities and range limits for the excavator change depending on the

attachment being used.

• Separate attachment instructions (if applicable) must be kept in Manual Holder incab with this Operator & Safety Manual. An additional copy must be kept with theattachment if it is equipped with a manual holder.
