SANY SCC4000A-2 Maintenance Checklist

Daily pre-start checks · service schedule by operating hours · warning alert actions · fluids and lubricants.

Daily Pre-Start Checklist

Complete before every shift to protect safety, uptime and crane condition.

15–20 minutes
1

Engine oil & coolant

Check oil and coolant levels on firm, level ground; inspect hoses, pump area and intercooler joints.

Act if: levels are low, fluid is contaminated, or any leak or damaged hose is found.

2

Fuel & water separator

Confirm diesel level and drain water from the fuel-water separator before operation.

Act if: fuel is below one-quarter tank or water, sediment or leakage is present.

3

Hydraulic oil

Check the tank level with cylinders retracted and inspect the oil and system for contamination or leaks.

Act if: oil is low, milky or dirty, or a leak appears before the system is pressurised.

4

Air filter & turbo intake

Check the restriction indicator, intake piping, clamps and intercooler hoses.

Act if: the filter is restricted or any intake joint is loose, split or unsealed.

5

Hoses & cylinders

Inspect pressure, suction, return and pilot lines plus all hoist, luffing and superlift cylinders.

Act if: a hose is cut or bulged, a fitting leaks, or a cylinder is scored or drifting.

6

Wire ropes & reeving

Inspect every working rope, end connection and reeving path for condition and correct seating.

Act if: broken wires, corrosion, kinks, birdcaging, diameter loss or incorrect reeving is found.

7

Sheaves, drums & winches

Check grooves, bearings, rope guards, drum winding and hoist brake response.

Act if: the rope does not seat correctly, guards are missing, or a brake slips or responds unevenly.

8

Slewing & travel system

Inspect reducer oil, ring bolts, gear teeth, tracks, rollers, idlers, sprockets and travel response.

Act if: oil is low, fasteners are loose, track parts are damaged, or either side travels abnormally.

9

Boom, jib & counterweight

Inspect lattice sections, welds, pins, backstops, catches and counterweight retainers.

Act if: damage or missing retainers are found, or the installed configuration differs from the lift plan.

10

LMI/LML & anti-two-block

Run the self-test, verify configuration, radius and capacity readings, then test the anti-two-block warning.

Act if: any reading, alarm, cut-out or configuration is incorrect—do not lift.

11

Cab, display & wind gauge

Check controls, display, mirrors, horn, warning lamps, cab functions and boom-tip anemometer.

Act if: visibility is restricted or a control, warning device or wind reading is unreliable.

12

Ground, mats & lubrication

Verify level mats and adequate ground support, then grease specified pins, bearings and pivots.

Act if: settlement, soft ground, damaged mats or dry lubrication points are found.

REVIEW

Warning Actions

Stop safely and correct the cause before returning the crane to service.

RED

Engine oil pressure

Action: stop the engine immediately. Check the oil level, filter, cooler and turbo oil lines; do not restart until correct pressure is verified.

RED

LMI/LML overload

Action: stop lifting, do not override the system, and lower the load by controlled descent. Verify the load chart and crane configuration.

RED

Anti-two-block

Action: stop hoisting immediately, lower the hook block safely, and inspect the switch, rope and boom-tip sheaves.

RED

Wire-rope damage

Action: stop all operations for broken wires, kinks, birdcaging, corrosion or diameter loss; remove a rejected rope from service.

AMBER

Hydraulic oil temperature

Action: stop lifting, stabilise the load, idle without hydraulic movement, and check oil level, filters and cooler cleanliness.

AMBER

High wind speed

Action: reduce radius, lower the load, and stop lifting when wind reaches the limit for the fitted crane configuration.

AMBER

Slewing anomaly

Action: stop slewing and inspect reducer oil, ring bolts, gear teeth, lubrication and bearing condition.

AMBER

Low fuel

Action: refuel before continuing. Do not run the Cummins QSM11 dry, because air entry can require professional fuel-system bleeding.

AMBER

Hydraulic filter indicator

Action: lower the load first, then replace the clogged return or pilot filter at the next safe opportunity before heavy lifting continues.

AMBER

Ground or track issue

Action: stop lifting, re-level the crane, improve mat support, or repair loose or damaged undercarriage components.

Critical rule: overload, anti-two-block, wire-rope failure, oil-pressure loss or uncontrolled movement requires full stop. Do not continue work by bypassing safety devices.
