TMS9000-2 OPERATOR MANUAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
Published 02-21-2019, Control # 611-05
The distance between the hook block and the boom nose
changes during telescoping. Ensure that the hook block
does not trigger the anti-two block switch or touch the
ground.
• To prevent two-blocking or slack rope conditions,
perform the following functions as required:
- Lower hoist when extending
- Lift hoist when retracting.
The control lever movements for telescoping vary depending
on the configuration.
With telescoping assigned to the right-hand lever
With telescoping assigned to the left-hand lever
Telescoping will only start if left arrow for retracting (1,
Figure 4-119) or right arrow for extending (2) is shown in the
indicated location of the operating display screen (either the
semi-automation or manual telescoping screen).
You can regulate the speed by moving the control lever or
changing the engine speed.
NOTE: With certain telescoping states, the RCL will switch
telescoping off, e.g. when you leave the
telescoping lengths or when the working range limit
has been reached, refer to RCL shutdown, page 4-
52.
Switching off the telescoping mechanism
If the telescoping mechanism is not required, it should be
switched off to avoid unintentional use.
• Press the button (1, Figure 4-120) once.
- The lamp in the button (1) will light up dimly.
- The symbol (2) is red if the telescoping mechanism
is switched off.
Manual telescoping
To telescope manually, you must initiate all locking and
unlocking processes. The locking and unlocking processes
are carried out automatically.
The following sections describe the operating procedures:
- Checking the initial position,
- Unlocking the telescoping cylinder, refer to
Unlocking the telescoping cylinder, page 4-67
- Moving the telescoping cylinder (without telescopic
section), refer to Extending/retracting the
telescoping cylinder, page 4-67
To extend:
Push the control lever to the right
(Figure 4-117).
To retract: Push the control lever to the left.
To extend:
Push the control lever forwards
(Figure 4-118).
To retract: Pull the control lever backwards.
