Liebherr LTM 1160-2 Telescopic Boom Mobile Crane Operating Instructions Manual – 545 Page PDF

Description

Liebherr LTM 1160-2 Operating Instructions Manual

This is the full operating instructions document for the Liebherr LTM 1160/2 telescopic boom mobile crane, issued as BAL No. 10300-04-02 and running 545 pages. It is the manual that ships with the machine and is treated as part of the crane itself: it tells the operator and the maintenance crew how the crane is meant to be run, set up, driven, telescoped, ballasted and inspected. Because the LTM 1160/2 combines a five-axle road chassis with a separate superstructure and its own diesel engine, the book is split cleanly between the two halves of the machine so you always know which set of controls, safety rules and service intervals you are working with.

What makes this Liebherr LTM 1160-2 operating instructions manual useful in daily work is that it does not just describe the machine – it documents the whole workflow around it. The chassis half covers the Allison automatic transmission, the off-road gear and differential lock procedure, the hydro-pneumatic axle suspension in suspended and locked states, and the exact sequence for going from road travel to a supported crane. The superstructure half goes into the LICCON safe load indicator system in detail: equipment configuration, reeving entry, telescoping goals, the automatic telescoping system (LATS), the supporting force limit value program, the CONTROL program for slewing, winch and luffing speeds, plus the error-number tables used to diagnose sensor and operational faults. Equipment chapters then deal with folding fly jib configurations from 12.2 m up to 36 m, the second winch, and how to remove or reinstall the telescopic boom and sliding arms with an auxiliary crane.

What the LTM 1160/2 Manual Lets You Do

With this manual on hand you can run the LTM 1160-2 through a full working cycle without guessing: pre-start checks on the carrier, brake circuits, steering circuits and tyre pressures; selecting FP1 or FP2 travel programs; engaging off-road gear, front axle drive and the transverse and longitudinal differential locks in the correct order; setting up on outriggers with the correct support base and pinning the sliding arms; entering the equipment configuration and reeving into the LICCON system; and selecting the correct counterweight combination from 11.0 t up to 50.0 t.

Because the LTM 1160/2 is a 60 m boom crane with folding fly jib options out to 36 m, the sections on telescoping lengths and extension conditions are the difference between a quick, safe pick and an overload condition. The manual sets out recommended extension conditions for fast length changes, the rules for telescoping with a load, the prohibition on working below the smallest or above the largest radius in the chart, and the shut-off diagram that shows which crane movements can and cannot be bypassed.

Why the Operating Instructions Matter

The Liebherr LTM 1160-2 operating instructions place a heavy emphasis on safety-technical notes, and it is easy to see why. The manual states that roughly 65% of accidents involving vehicle cranes come from improper crane operation and a further 20% from improper maintenance. It therefore documents the checks that must be completed every single time before the crane is operated: safety devices functioning, ground bearing capacity adequate, all four sliding arms extended and pinned, the crane horizontally aligned, and the LICCON system set to the actual equipment configuration. It also gives the permissible ground-bearing loads by soil type, the safe distances from slopes and trenches, and the minimum clearance distances from live overhead lines by rated voltage – details that are impossible to recall reliably from memory under jobsite pressure.

For anyone responsible for the maintenance side, the interval tables for the crane chassis and the crane superstructure tell you what is done daily, weekly, at 200, 400, 800 and 1200 hours, and what falls under annual minimum maintenance. The lubrication charts give the approximate fill quantities for the travel motor, automatic transmission, gearbox, distributor gear, axles, hydraulic tanks and winches, along with the specified oils and greases. The inspection chapter covers the repeat inspection regime, wire rope discard criteria for the 23 mm torsion-free hoist cables, and the annual pneumatic brake system checks.
