Attach the dead end of the wire rope to the eye on the bottom of the jib tip. This is done to prevent the pullout from extending uncontrollably. Unplug the pull out anti two-block plug from the anti two-block Retracted socket.
Spooling Wire Rope on Drums Care must be exercised when installing wire rope on the winch drum. Improper spooling can. result in rope damage through crushing, kinking, dog- legs, abrasion and cutting. Poorly installed wire rope will also adversely affect the operating characteristics of the machine by causing uneven application of force and motion.
Page 71
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Assembly Apply braking force to the reel flange in order to prevent overrun as the rope is being drawn off. Loops formed by overrun can cause kinks and doglegs in the rope, resulting in damage and premature rope failure. A timber or block forced against the shipping reel flange can be used to provide the required braking force.
Cable Sockets The wrong cable wedge could permit the wire rope to work loose and detach itself from the drum; possibly causing property damage or personal injury. Tension the wire rope by braking the shipping reel and slowly operate the winch in the raise mode to wind the cable onto the winch drum.
Page 73
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Assembly Insert the wedge (1) and allow the rope strands to adjust around it. Seat the wedge and loop just tightly enough to allow handling by attaching the socket to a strong support and engaging the winch to take a strain on the rope. Final seating of the wedge is accomplished by making lifts of gradually increasing loads.

Mobile Crane Load Test Inspection General As a worldwide crane manufacturer, Terex Cranes does not recommend carrying out a regular overload test on mobile cranes. An overload test after every change of location or crane reconfiguration is not a reliable and safe inspection method and can cause premature material fatigue.
Page 155
This person must determine whether the movement can be carried out safely or whether immediate repair/modification is required. Recommendations of Terex Cranes with Regard to Load Tests Checking Assembly Checking the correct crane assembly (e.g. after reconfiguration) must include:...
Page 156
- after changes to location. This applies to all Terex mobile cranes for the static and dynamic load test. A period of 5 minutes is sufficient for the static test. The conditions listed above do not apply after reconfiguration or repairs to load- bearing crane parts.
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.
Page 163
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Operating Instructions HOT EXHAUST During parked regeneration the exhaust gases will be extremely HOT and could cause a fire if directed at combustible materials. The crane MUST be parked outside. NOTE: The operator MUST stay with the crane throughout the regeneration process. NOTE: The procedure will take up to 1 hr.
Page 164
Cycle the clutch pedal (if configured). If automatic transmission, cycle into gear and back to neutral. Park Brake must be ON and the clutch must be released. Transmission, either manual or automatic must be in neutral. Engine speed must be set at idle. PTO must be disengaged.
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 Starting the Engine-EPA 2010 STARTING THE ENGINE-2010 Tier 4 Check that the Emergency Stop Button is pulled out. This will allow starting of the engine. The engine may require the use of a cold weather starting aid if the ambient temperature is below 40°F (4°C).
Page 179
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Operating Instructions To prevent serious starting motor damage, do not press the starter switch again after the engine has started. If the engine fails to start within 15 seconds, release the starter switch and allow the starting motor to cool for 15 seconds before trying again. If the engine fails to start after four attempts, an inspection should be made to determine the cause.
Page 180
Warm-up Run the engine at part throttle for about five minutes to allow it to warm up before applying a load. Inspection Transmission - While the engine is idling, check the transmission for proper oil level and add oil as required. Look for coolant, fuel, or lubricating oil leaks at this time. If any are found, shut down the engine immediately and have leaks repaired after the engine has cooled.
Jump Starting an Engine- Booster Cable Instructions Position the vehicle with the booster battery adjacent to the vehicle with the discharged battery so that booster cables can be connected easily to the batteries in both vehicles. Make certain vehicles do not touch each other. On both vehicles, turn off all electrical loads.
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.
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 Load Rating Chart Interpretation In the following pages are examples of a load chart, these example charts may differ from the chart supplied with your crane. Always use the load rating chart supplied with the crane to interpret the conditions and limitations that exist when making a lift with the crane. The determining factors are lifted load, radius, boom angle, working position, hoist line reeving, tire pressure, travel data, use of a jib, and other special conditions that exist, such as wind velocity, soil conditions, etc.

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.

Transmission Operation Eaton Fuller Manual The transmission provides eight highway ratios, plus a LO gear and a LL1 and LL2 gear for extra pulling power. There are three reverse ratios. The transmission has a five speed front section and a three speed auxiliary section which has an extra deep reduction gear.
Page 223
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Operating Instructions NOTE: By engaging the clutch with the gear shift lever in the neutral position, the operator is able to control the RPM of the main shaft gears since they are regulated by engine RPM. This procedure enables the operator to match the RPM of the main shaft gears with those of the main shaft driven by the cranes rear wheels.
Page 224
While in 5th and ready for the next downshift, PUSH DOWN the Range Preselection Lever and move the shift lever to the 4th speed gear position. As the shift lever passes through neutral, the transmission will automatically shift from High Range to Low Range. Continue downshifting from 4th through 3rd, 2nd, and 1st to LO while in Low Range.

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.
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance Turntable and Swing Pinion Standard lubrication frequencies are shown on LUBE CHARTS for each model of crane. RACE LUBRICATION - Inject grease as recommended through fitting located to rear of console in operator’s cab as shown above. Rotate the upper while injecting grease at least two complete revolutions.

ASSEMBLY Place the brake housing on a work bench with motor mounting surface down. Lightly lubricate and install one of the thrust washers into the housing. Install the brake actuating assembly, with the clevis attached to it, into the housing. The clevis must fit into the opening on the side of the housing.
Page 311
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance Install a new O-Ring (item 2) into the groove on the brake housing. Install the housing adapter onto the brake housing. There is a dowel pin between these two parts for correct orientation. Turn the assembly over and install the two remaining capscrews and sealing washers and tighten all four capscrews.
Power Steering Maintenance LUBRICATION - STEERING GEARS The lubricant used in the power steering system is the medium by which hydraulic pressures are applied and relieved, under control, to effect steering assist. In addition the lubricant also lubricates moving parts and dissipates heat which reduces efficiency and accelerates wear.
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance Drive Shaft Maintenance Rotating shafts can be dangerous. You can snag clothes, skin, hair, hands, etc. This can cause serious injury or death. Do not work on a shaft (with or without a guard) when the engine is running. UNIVERSAL JOINTS To insure proper lubrication of the bearing assemblies, it is essential to add lubricant until it appears at all journal cross bearing seals (1).
Page 314
SLIDING SPLINE SECTIONS Steel drive shaft splines should be lubricated with good extreme pressure (EP) grease as recommended by lubricant manufacturers. Extreme pressure grease satisfying NLFI Grade 1 has been adapted by the factory. Relube spline at the intervals prescribed below. Apply grease gun pressure to lubrication zerk (2) until lubricant appears at pressure relief hole (1) in welch plug at the sleeve yoke end of spline.
Page 315
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance Grease Institute (NLGI) Grade 1 and Grade 2 specifications are preferred. The use of greases which tend to separate and cake should be avoided. Lubrication cycles for drive shaft universal joints and slip splines will vary with service requirements and operating conditions.
Brake System Maintenance REAR BRAKES Using a pressure gun, lubricate the brackets and slack adjusters. An application of lubricant should be applied to the grease fittings each time (weekly) a general lubrication of chassis components is required. Use synthetic grease per specifications in chart below. P/N 12261-683 REVISED: January 2015...

Grease should be supplied to the bracket until it begins to squirt out around the camshaft adjacent to the slack adjuster. The slack adjuster should be filled until grease becomes visible around the camshaft. NOTE: Camshaft brackets with metal plugs instead of grease fittings are fitted with special seals and packed with extended lubrication interval chassis grease.
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance Air Dryer Desiccant cartridge life will vary depending on operating conditions, speeds, loads, air usage and compressor condition. It is recommended that the desiccant cartridge be replaced approximately every 2 years. If system performance is reduced, desiccant cartridge replacement is necessary. It is also recommended that the desiccant cartridge be replaced if the compressor has been rebuilt.
Air System Maintenance Inadequate delivery pressure or defective component operations can generally be traced to leakage, blocked lines, or the build up of moisture and sediment in the system. A regular program of periodic maintenance is an essential part of air system operation. The materials presented here are listed in accordance with the MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST in Section 4.
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance TIRES MAINTENANCE CHECK As a part of the WEEKLY MAINTENANCE CHECK inspect the tires and rims for damage. Cuts, bruises, snags, punctures, and abrasions should be repaired before they can cause tire failure. Bent, cracked, or loose rims should be repaired or replaced. Check tire valve condition and make sure each valve has a cap.
Page 322
Inflation pressure should be checked when tires are cool, using an accurate tire pressure gauge. Check pressures at regular intervals. Bleeding the air from hot tires is dangerous and should not be attempted. While the pressure will be reduced, an increase in temperature of the tire will take place as soon as driving is resumed and tire failure will result.
Page 323
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance Unmatched tires on tandem drive units will cause tire wear and scuffing and possible damage to the drive units. Consequently, we recommend the tires be matched to within 1/8” of the same rolling radius; 3/4” of the same rolling circumference. Tandem units-IMPORTANT: The four largest tires should never be installed on one driving axle or the four smallest tires on the other driving axle.
Slider Pads The front bottom slider pad should be checked daily for wear. The remainder of the slider pads should be checked monthly for wear. All the slider pads contain a chamfer (1) on the wearing surface. When this chamfer (1) is worn off, the slider pad must be replaced.

T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance Transmission Storage PRESERVATIVE SELECTION When transmissions are to be stored or remain inactive for extended periods of time, specific preservative methods are recommended to prevent rust and corrosion damage. The length of storage will usually determine the preservative method to be used. Various methods are described below.
Restoration to Service Refer to “Restoring Engine to Service”, and “Restoring Transmission to Service”, for the procedures required to restore these components to service. Remove the MACHINE from storage via the following procedure: Remove preservative lubricants from all surfaces. Check all fluid levels, adding or draining as required. Lubricate the machine according to Section 9, making certain that all points with grease fittings are lubricated.
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance Restoring Engine to Service Remove the valve rocker cover(s) and pour at least one-half gallon of oil, of the same grade as used in the crankcase, over the rocker arms and push rods. Reinstall the valve rocker cover(s). Remove the covers and tape from all of the openings of the engine, fuel tank, and electrical equipment.
Restoring Transmission to Service If Nox Rust, or equivalent, was used in preparing the transmission for storage, use the following procedures to restore the unit to service. Remove the tape from openings and breather. Wash off all the external grease with solvent. Add hydraulic transmission fluid, per chart below to proper level.
T300-1_T500-1_T780 Maintenance Chrome Cylinder Rod Storage Hard chrome plating is primarily applied to steel cylinder rods for its wear resistant properties, although it does provide considerable corrosion resistance as well. Once the chrome-plated rod is assembled into a cylinder and put into service, the hydraulic fluid on the surface of the rod provides all the corrosion resistance required for the rod during its life cycle.
Page 380
wool can be used, but abrasives such as sandpaper should never be used to clean the exposed surfaces of the cylinder rod. If surface damage to the chrome plate is discovered, the frequency of corrosion barrier applications should be increased. NOTE: Caution must be used when cleaning equipment in service with high pressure washes.

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.
