Hoist Drive Update

Hoist drive failed.  Instructions for drive replacement are in the folder, however it is required to add +24 vdc to DQ+.  This applies power to the hoist brake control relay.

See attached schematic.  Typically, the dotted lines are optional, but this is required.

Override button

Every HDT 80 with a serial number that starts with a 400 number has a override option.  If you overload your crane and you can’t hoist up or down because you overloaded the crane hold the start button down while hoisting down.

Windshield washer check valves

While filling the washer bottle, all the fluid would leak out.

On the output side of each washer pump is a check valve. 

to access the valves the A/C unit must be removed.
found that the check valves were broken and cracked, presumably from freezing. Replaced the valves ( toyota part # 85321-26020) and washer bottle stays filled.

HDT 80 hoist line for erection and dismantle

HDT 80    When erecting or dismantle make sure you have slack in your hoist line while folding the jib. It does not have auto winding on the hoist drum so it can get supper tight and there is no limits to stop it. click on the link to see in the manual where you need to make sure you have slack in your cable. It is best to have about 10 ft of slack in your cable.

HDT 80 limit switches

While erection and dismantle there is no limit switches that will stop you.  Also there is no 125 limit for your hoist so you do not want to get your hoist rope tight at all or you will be bending and breaking stuff.

FM Gru 1589 will not raise the jib in erection mode

Tried to erect 1589 and the jib would not raise.  Checked hydraulic pump, and it was building pressure, but the coil to open the valve bank was not being activated.

Contactor was switching to open, but the control relay for the valve was bad.

Light would turn on the face of the relay, but would not actually switch.  The orange screw could be turned to manually make the switch and the jib would go up.  Replace relay.
