Comprehensive Coverage of Link-Belt HC-218 Systems

When maintaining a heavy lattice boom crane, having access to the complete Link-Belt HC-218 Parts Catalog is crucial. The manual is organized into distinct functional areas that mirror the actual machine. For the lower carrier, this parts manual provides detailed exploded views for the Carrier Chassis and Carrier Assembly, allowing you to locate parts for the front and rear axles, suspension systems, and steering columns. The power steering system is thoroughly documented, including the hydraulic lines, fittings, pump assemblies, and steering gear. You will find all the necessary components for the air brake control lines, the power take-off (PTO), and the main transmission, including auxiliary transmissions and shift housing assemblies.

The upper machinery section is equally exhaustive. It covers the vertical and horizontal shafts, reverse clutch lines, upper and lower reduction units, front and rear drum brakes, and drum shafts. The planetary drives, boom hoist shafts, clutches, and rotating joints are all detailed with exploded diagrams. For the engine compartment, this manual covers a wide array of diesel engines used in the HC-218, including the G.M. 6V-71N, G.M. 8V-71N, G.M. 6082, G.M. 6030N, Waukesha F817G, and Cummins N-743-P-220, among others. You will find parts for the engine clutch, Cotta transmission, chain case oil pump, engine electrical systems, gauges, and battery cables.

The hydraulic and air systems on the upper structure are heavily detailed, covering the hydraulic power assembly, accumulators, unloading valves, check valves, oil filters, and relief valves. The control valves, toggle lever assemblies, and hydraulic tubing sections provide the exact routing and part numbers for the outrigger controls and pressure switches. For the boom and attachments, the manual includes the angle boom and extensions, five-sheave head machinery, bridle assemblies, angle jibs, boom tip extensions, and backstops.
