    Operating Instructions Regeneration Process for DD Series 60 - (T500-1 & T780 Only) After-treatment System In order to meet current emissions regulations, the traditional muffler has been replaced by a new After-treatment Device (ATD). This device consists of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
  • Page 159 This ash does not oxidize in the filter during the regeneration process and must be removed through a cleaning procedure. All Terex Truck Cranes equipped with diesel Tier lll engines will illuminate a dashboard warning: light indicating the need for ash cleaning.
  • Page 160 The operator will be notified of the need for a parked regeneration due to the illumination of the yellow DPF Regeneration Light. The sequence of lights is as follows: The DPF Regeneration Light will be illuminated prior to any engine protection measures being taken.
  • Page 161 T300-1_T500-1_T780 Operating Instructions NOTE: The check engine light in the upper cab of the truck crane will come on if the DPF Regeneration Light starts flashing in the lower cab. If the flashing DPF is still ignored, the AWL (Check Engine - Red Light) light will illuminate.
  • Page 162 If parked regeneration is still not initiated, a standard 60 second engine shutdown sequence will occur. The dash lights will have a yellow blinking light and a solid red light. Once the engine shutdown sequence is completed, a parked regeneration MUST occur to continue crane operations.

    Manual Regeneration Procedure For the majority of the crane operating time, the Cummins Engine Particulate Filter is self- cleaning with no operator action required. On some occasions, the operator may need to perform a Stationary Regeneration. Under some operating conditions, such as low speed, low load, or stop and go duty cycles, the engine may not have enough opportunity to regenerate the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter during normal operation.
  • Page 171 T300-1_T500-1_T780 Operating Instructions _When the engine ECM detects that the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter has been regenerated, the engine will automatically return to normal idle speed, if increased. (See note 5.) NOTE 1: If a manual (non-mission) regeneration is attempted, and the High Exhaust System Temperature lamp doesn't illuminate, contact a Cummins authorized repair facility for assistance.

    T300-1_T500-1_T780 Operating Instructions Unusual Operating Conditions Special problems in maintenance and operation are caused by unusual conditions such as extremes in heat, cold and humidity, high altitude, salt water, and dusty or sandy work sites. When operating under such conditions, special precautions must be taken to prevent damage, minimize wear, and avoid component deterioration.
  • Page 186 The battery can discharge if snow or ice short circuits the terminals. Keep the battery posts and cable connectors clean and dry. Remove any corrosion with a solution of soda and water. During extremely cold weather, it is advisable to remove and store the battery in a heated area when the crane is to remain idle for any extended period.
  • Page 187 T300-1_T500-1_T780 Operating Instructions Allow the engine to cool before draining and flushing the cooling system. Water containing more than small concentrations of salt or minerals should not be used in the cooling system. Salt facilitates corrosion and minerals deposited on the coolant passage walls.
  • Page 188 HIGH ALTITUDES Variations in altitude alter the fuel/air mixture burned in the engine and affect the engine’s performance. At high altitudes, atmospheric pressures are lower and less oxygen is available for combustion of the fuel. Above 10,000’ the engine fuel injectors may have to be changed to ensure proper performance.
  • Page 189: Making A Typical Lift

    T300-1_T500-1_T780 Operating Instructions Making a Typical Lift LIFT PROCEDURE In making lifts, the operator must successfully coordinate several crane functions. These include the boom raise/lower, boom extend/retract, load hoist/lower and swing functions. Although experienced operators tend to operate two or more of these functions simultaneously, the lift procedure can be broken down into the following sequence of operations.
  • Page 190 FULL extension of the vertical jack cylinders should be avoided if not necessary to level crane and raise wheels clear of ground because oil expansion under extreme heat conditions can cause cylinder seal failure. Check to ensure that all beams are fully extended, swinging the upper if necessary to visually check that each beam reaches full extension.
  • Page 191 T300-1_T500-1_T780 Operating Instructions unseating the rope wedge in the winch drum, which could result in the uncontrolled fall of the hook block and load. Use of more parts of line than required for the lift increases likelihood of rope damage. Raise the boom to the required angle, consulting the boom angle indicator which indicates boom angle relative to upper structure.
  • Page 192 Apply the swing brake, with the foot pedal, when the swing is stopped or when emergency situations dictate that the swing be terminated abruptly. If properly executed, the load will hang motionless when the swing is terminated. If the load is oscillating, the swing was made too rapidly and/or stopped too abruptly. Never pull sideways with a crane boom.
  • Page 193 T300-1_T500-1_T780 Operating Instructions correctly installed and maintained anti two-block system, the block or ball will not raise, the boom cannot be extended and the boom cannot be lowered. To return to an operating condition, either lower the hook or ball, retract or raise the boom. The operator may need to raise the hook block beyond the point at which the anti two block system is activated during rigging or travel.
  • Page 194 When lowering light loads, be sure to maintain sufficient cable tension to prevent the cable from becoming loose on the cable drum. Loose cable can slip and then bind suddenly, causing “jerky” lowering and shock loading of the boom. Loose wraps may form loops which can be overlain when the cable is wound onto the winch drum.

    T300-1_T500-1_T780 Operating Instructions "On-Tires" Lift Listed below are special precautions for “On Tires” lifts. All static crane load ratings are based on nonuse of the travel function while handling loads. However, cranes may be utilized for pick and carry operations. Traveling with suspended loads involves so many variables such as ground conditions, boom length, momentum in starting and stopping, etc., that it is impossible to devise a single standard rating procedure with any assurance of safety.

    T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance Cable Lubrication Methods GENERAL We are covering the more commonly used methods of lubricating cable (wire rope). For special cable lubrication problems consult the cable manufacturer. HOT APPLICATION A heated bath is placed in the path of the wire rope, and the rope is passed through the hot lubrication over sheaves and a center guide wheel.
  • Page 304 DRIPPING A container can be placed above the sheave, so that the rope can be lubricated by opening a spigot. Sheaves are the best location for lubricating operating wire ropes, because the wires and strands open somewhat as they bend along the groove. POURING Lubricant can be poured on.
  • Page 305 T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance SWABBING AND PAINTING Lubricant can be swabbed on with rags, or painted on with a brush. Both are quick methods which can be made part of the operating routine. SPRAYING A light lubricant containing solvents can be applied to a wire rope by a properly directed spray nozzle.

  • Page 496: Electrical System Voltmeter Diagnosis

    Electrical System Voltmeter Diagnosis This electrical system has a voltmeter installed in it. It is used as an aid to diagnose the condition of the battery and electrical system. The following illustrations show how the voltmeter indicates the condition of the battery, alternator, and voltage regulator and what to so to correct the condition.
  • Page 497 T300-1_T500-1_T780 Service / Parts Well-charged battery. This indicates a good battery and also that alternator and voltage regulator are operating properly The pointer might remain in this position temporarily when the engine has been stopped after considerable use, due to a "surface charge" in the battery. To get a correct reading, turn on lights for a few minutes or let machine stand for an hour or so.
  • Page 498 Under normal conditions, a 12V battery is fully charged at 12.8V. A slightly higher reading may occur under the conditions outlined in the last step, but, generally speaking, any reading above 12.8 when the engine is stopped is not a true reading. ENGINE RUNNING FAST ENOUGH TO MAKE ALTERNATOR PRODUCE CHARGE Disconnected voltmeter.
  • Page 499 T300-1_T500-1_T780 Service / Parts When voltmeter pointer stays below 13.3 with the engine running fast enough to operate the alternator, it shows that the alternator is not operating or voltage regulator is out of adjustment, or that current being drawn from battery by lights, heater fan, or accessories exceeds alternator output.
  • Page 500 This is the area in which the pointer should be when alternator, voltage regulator, and battery are all in good condition and working properly. When the pointer goes above 15.2, the voltage regulator is set too high or is jammed and continued operation of the engine will burn out the battery.
