SAFETY SUMMARY
GENERAL SAFETY NOTICES The following general safety notices supplement specific warnings and
cautions appearing in this manual. General and specific precautions must be understood and applied during
operation and maintenance of equipment covered herein. The Commanding Officer or other authority will issue
orders necessary for any situations not covered in these general and specific safety precautions.
DO NOT REPAIR OR ADJUST ALONE Under no circumstances should repair or adjustment of ener-
gized equipment be attempted alone. The immediate presence of someone capable of rendering aid is required.
Before making adjustments, be sure to protect against grounding. If possible, adjustments should be made with
one hand, with the other hand free and clear of equipment. Even when power has been removed from equipment
circuits, dangerous potentials may still exist due to retention of charges by capacitors. Circuits must be grounded
and all capacitors discharged prior to attempting repairs.
TEST EQUIPMENT Make certain test equipment is in good condition. If a test meter must be held,
ground the case of the meter before starting measurement. Do not touch live equipment or personnel working on
live equipment while holding a test meter. Some types of measuring devices should not be grounded; these
devices should not be held when taking measurements.
FIRST AID An injury, no matter how slight, should never go unattended. Always obtain first aid or
medical attention immediately.
RESUSCITATION Personnel working with or near high voltages shall be familiar with approved resus-
citation methods. If someone is injured and stops breathing, initiate resuscitation immediately. A delay could cost
the victim’s life. Refer to Naval Ships Technical Manual, Chapter 300.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS The following general precautions are to be observed at all times:
1. All electrical components associated with equipment shall be installed and grounded in accordance
with applicable Navy regulations and approved shipboard practices.
2. All maintenance operations shall comply with Navy Safety Precautions for Forces Afloat,
OPNAVINST 5100 series.
3. Special precautionary measures are essential to prevent applying power to equipment at any time
maintenance work is in progress.
4. Do not make any unauthorized alterations to equipment.
5. Before working on electrical equipment, use voltmeter to ensure that system is not energized.
6. All circuits not known to be DEAD must be considered LIVE and dangerous at all times.
7. Do not wear loose clothing while working around rotating parts of machinery.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS Specific warnings and cautions covered by this manual, with page ref-
erences, are summarized below for emphasis.
WARNING
WARNING
When the boat crane is being powered by the hydraulic pump and operated
with the servovalves, only slow speeds shall be used as injury to personnel
could occur. (Page 2-7)
WARNING
The equipment shall be returned to its normal operating condition once the
emergency is secured, as injury to personnel and damage to the equipment
could occur. (Page 2-8)
WARNING
Operation of the servo valves using the local valve controls is inherently
dangerous to operating personnel especially for slewing the boat crane.
(Page 2-17)
WARNING

1. Closing and Locking. The hook is closed and locked by either inserting the ring
of the boat sling into the open ejector, or by rotating the ejector cam down, by hand,
into the closed and locked position.
2. Tripping and Opening. With the hook in the closed and locked position, the ejec-
tor cam is tripped and pivoted to the open position by pulling down on the release
hook lanyard. The cam pivots with sufficient force to eject the lifting ring, but only
if the load has been removed.
3. Automatic Release. After the release hook is closed and locked, it can be set for
automatic release by loading the hook with a 50–pound minimum load and briefly
exerting a 25-pound pull on the release lanyard. The hook will automatically permit
the ejector cam to rotate to the open position without having to pull the release lan-
yard a second time. (Page 2-18)

WARNING
CAUTION
NOTE
The Boat Crane, Type GN1/5, is operated using electrical and hydraulic systems. Serious injury or death may
result if personnel improperly use electrically or hydraulically operated equipment or fail to adhere to posted
warnings and cautions. The warnings and cautions appearing throughout this technical manual are essential to
personnel and equipment safety. Prior to any attempt to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, or repair any part of the
Boat Crane, Type GN1/5, all warnings and cautions shall be thoroughly reviewed and understood. General safety
notices and specific warning and caution statements used in this manual appear in the safety summary immedi-
ately preceding this chapter.
1-2. INTRODUCTION.
This manual contains equipment description, operating instructions, preventive maintenance overview, cor-
rective maintenance procedures, fault isolation procedures, parts list, and installation instructions for the Boat
Crane, Type GN1/5, manufactured by Marine Equipment Pellegrini (MEP).
1-1
SG811-BV-MMA-010
1-2.1 Purpose. The purpose of this manual is to provide sufficient information for shipboard personnel to oper-
ate and conduct maintenance-related activity on the boat crane, Type GN1/5, hereinafter referred to as the boat
crane.
1-2.2 Scope. The information provided in this manual will enable ship’s personnel to operate, troubleshoot,
maintain, and replace components of the boat crane at the organizational, intermediate, and depot levels.
1-2.3 Applicability. This manual is applicable to all MHC-51 class ship’s with the Boat Crane, Type GN1/5,
installed including MHC-51, 52, 55, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62.
1-2.4 Interface Relationships. The boat crane is an electro-hydraulic machine controlled by electrical/electronic
controls. The electric motor is electrically controlled via the motor controller. Once started, the electric motor
rotates at a near constant speed driving the hydraulic pump which along with its hydraulic controls, provides the
flow when needed to drive the hydraulic actuators such as the hydraulic motors and cylinders which drive the
mechanical assemblies (booms, winch and turret). Actuator speed and positioning is electronically controlled via
the electronic control unit, servo valves and control joysticks. Hydraulic motors are used to drive the winch drum
and drive the slew drive gearing to rotate the turret. Hydraulic cylinders drive the main and jib booms.
One emergency mode of operation is accomplished manually/hydraulically. The hand pump is used to manu-
ally/hydraulically slew the crane, top the booms out, and payout the winch. The hydraulic actuators are controlled
via manual operation of the servo valves. Operational procedures are provided in chapter 2. A detailed descrip-
tion of manual operation is provided in chapter 3.
A second emergency mode requires cross connection of hydraulic piping with the multi-purpose crane. When
the boat crane is cross connected with the multi-purpose crane, the boat crane can be powered hydraulically with
actuator movement accomplished using the control joysticks powered by the electronic control unit. During this
mode of operation, the boat crane electric motor is not powered and the pump is not driven. All hydraulic fluid
flow is delivered from the multi-purpose crane pump when cross connected.
The boat crane can also be cross connected to provide hydraulic fluid power to the multi-purpose crane.
1-2.5 Design Features. The primary function of the boat crane is to deploy and retrieve the rigid inflatable boat
(RIB); refer to Ship’s Information Book (SIB) Volume 1 and figure 1-1 for information on the deployment,
retrieval, and storage of the RIB. Connection to the RIB is accomplished using a wire rope with a hook on the
end that attaches to the RIB lifting sling. The winch hoist drum is designed to hold 100 feet of 1/2 inch diam-
eter wire rope. The boat crane is rated at maximum of 2,000 lbs lifting capacity. It is capable of lifting the RIB
from its stowage on the ship’s deck, deploying it into the water, retrieving it from the water, and returning it to
its stowage on the ship’s deck. The boat crane is also capable of handling other equipment on or about the ship’s
deck, weighing less than 2,000 lbs. The rotation of the Boat Crane is limited to a rotation envelope (figure 1-2)
of 178 degrees 55 minutes by electrical and mechanical stops.
The boat crane is designed for grade A shock in the stowed position. It is capable of operating with one inch
of ice and with the ship heeled at 15 degrees. The boat crane is capable of performing any two operations simul-
taneously.

1-3.2.1 Main Boom. The main boom (figure FO-1 or figure FO-2) is a metal structure which extends outward
9.688 ft (3,020 millimeters (mm)) from the centerline of the crane. This structure is connected between the
revolving turret and jib boom. One end of the jib and main boom cylinders are connected to the center of the
main boom structure. The other end of the main boom cylinder is connected to a pivot on the turret mounted
directly below the main boom pivot. Rotation of the boom about the fixed main boom pivot on the turret is
accomplished by extending or retracting the main boom hydraulic cylinder, resulting in relative movement of the
jib boom, wire rope end fitting connected to the load. The main boom position is controlled by the operator rotat-
ing a joystick on the control console.
1-3.2.2 Jib Boom The jib boom (figure FO-1 or figure FO-2) is a metal structure which extends outward 5.66
ft (1,764 mm) from its pivot point at the end of the main boom. The winch assembly and boom head assembly
are mounted on opposite ends of the jib boom structure. One end of the jib boom cylinder is connected to the jib
boom structure near the jib boom pivot at the same end the winch is installed. The other end of the jib boom
cylinder is connected to a pivot near the center of the main boom. Rotation of the jib boom about the fixed pivot
near the center of the main boom is accomplished by extending or retracting the jib boom hydraulic cylinder.
Movement of the jib boom results in relative movement of the wire rope end fitting connected to the load. The
operator controls the position and topping speed and direction of the jib boom by proportional rotation of the jib
boom control joystick. The jib boom has the ability to lift in situations requiring extended or long reaches.
1-3.2.3 Control Panel Assembly. The control panel assembly (figure FO-1 or figure FO-2) is an enclosed unit
located on the top side of the revolving turret. This panel has pushbutton switches and indicating lights for con-
trolling and monitoring various functions of the boat crane. The switches and indicators are covered with drip-
proof seals to protect against all types of weather conditions. The control panel assembly allows the operator to
monitor and control the crane’s electric motor, hydraulic components, and ECU power. The control panel assem-
bly is covered by a metal cover that must be raised and secured in the raised position when the panel is in use.
1-3.2.4 Control Joysticks. There are four control joysticks on the control console (figure FO-1 or figure FO-2).
There is a control joystick for the main boom (M), the jib boom (J), the winch (W) and the turret for slewing (S).
The control joysticks are a lever type, with a spring return to neutral. The levers are rotated about a fixed pivot
by the operator either clockwise or counterclockwise from the neutral position. The neutral position corresponds
to the stopped position. Each joystick is used to provide bi-directional, variable speed control to one of the
hydraulic actuators responsible for topping the main or jib booms, slewing the turret, and hoisting or paying out
the winch. The operator uses all four joysticks as required to position the wire rope end fitting or load during
boat handling operations.
1-3.2.5 Electric Motor. The electric motor (figure FO-1 or figure FO-2) is an enclosed 15 horsepower (hp), 12
kilowatt (kW) high impact, shock resistant electric motor. Output shaft rotation is constant at approximately 1,800
revolutions per minute (rpm). It is mounted vertically and its shaft is coupled to the hydraulic pump shaft. The
electric motor is located on the rear of the revolving turret, inside the turret enclosure. The electric motor uses
radial double row, single shielded ball bearings to support the main drive shaft. The electric motor is powered via
the motor controller by depressing the electric motor ON pushbutton on the control panel. The electric motor
incorporates thermal sensors which can sense high temperature and illuminate a thermal alarm light on the con-
trol panel.
1-3.2.6 Hydraulic Pump. The hydraulic pump is an axial piston variable volume unit driven by the electric
motor at approximately 1,800 rpm. The pump controls include an adjustable pressure compensator and maximum
volume stop. The pump is coupled to and driven by the electric motor at a continuous speed of 1,800 rpm. It is
mounted underneath the electric motor at the rear of the revolving turret. The hydraulic pump inlet is connected
1-5
SG811-BV-MMA-010
to the sump via a suction strainer. The pump output flow varies from zero to 6 gpm (gallons per minute). The
pump provides flow to the various hydraulic actuators (hydraulic motors or cylinders) as needed to move and
support the wire rope end fitting and any connected load. The position and speed of the actuators is controlled
by servo valves, electrically controlled via the ECU as commanded by the operator at the control joystick. The
pressure compensator assembly ensures pressurized fluid is always available to either one or more actuator as a
servo valve is opened, to the full volume of the pump as needed.
1-3.2.7 Cylinder Assemblies. There are two cylinder assemblies used on the boat crane. There is one cylinder
assembly located underneath each boom (jib and main boom cylinders) which drives or rotates the boom about
the boom’s pivot (figure FO-1 or figure FO-2). Cylinders are linear hydraulic actuators. Cylinder motion and
speed is controlled by a servo valve which is electrically controlled by one of the control joysticks. The cylin-
ders incorporate crossover valves at each port which control the starting and stopping of the cylinders. The main
boom cylinder is connected between a pivot on the turret and a pivot near the center of the main boom. The jib
boom cylinder is connected between a pivot near the center of the boom and a pivot near the jib boom pivot.
Extension of the main boom cylinder causes the main boom to rotate up towards the vertical position. Retraction
of the main boom cylinder causes the main boom to rotate down towards the horizontal position. Extension of
the jib boom cylinder causes the jib boom to rotate out, toward the position in line with the main boom axis.
Retraction of the jib boom cylinder causes the jib boom to rotate in, under the main boom. The cylinder speed
is proportional to the control joystick position command as determined by the operator. The cylinder position is
stopped and held by the overcenter valves when the operator moves the control joystick to the neutral position.
1-3.2.8 Slew Drive Assembly (Hydraulic Motors, Pinion, Reduction Gear, and Brake Assemblies). The slew
drive, which includes the slew hydraulic motor, reduction gear, and brake assembly, drives the turret relative to
the pedestal. The slew hydraulic motor is a fixed diplacement bi-directional axial piston type which rotates or
slews the turret clockwise or counterclockwise via a reduction gear and output pinion gear. The hydraulic motor
is located on the turret near the hydraulic fluid (oil level) sight gauge. The slew drive components are mounted
on top of the slew hydraulic brake and reduction gear assembly. The hydraulic motor is driven by hydraulic fluid
supplied by the pump via the servo valve. The reduction gear consists of tapered roller bearings, an output shaft,
planetary gears, a central pinion, and planetary rings partially contained in a nonmagnetic casing. The reduction
gear output shaft meshes with the slew ring assembly and drives the revolving turret in either a clockwise (cw)
or counterclockwise (ccw) direction. The slew hydraulic brake is a hydraulically released, spring set disc type.
The slew hydraulic brake when released allows rotation of the turret and when set, will stop and hold the turret
position. The brake action is controlled by a hydraulically actuated valve in the slew hydraulic circuit. The slew
hydraulic circuit valves provide for speed control, braking, and overload protection.
1-3.2.9 Winch Assembly (Hydraulic Motors, Reduction Gear, and Brake Assemblies). The nonmagnetic winch
assembly (figure FO-1 or figure FO-2) is mounted on top of the jib boom near the jib boom pivot. This assem-
bly consists of a hoist drum mounted horizontally on a shaft, a reduction gear, hydraulic motor, brake, and a one
way clutch. The hoist drum is connected to the wire rope which is used to connect to the boat or other load. The
hydraulic motor drives a reducer which drives common planetary gear set. The hydraulic motor rotates the
reducer shaft in both the haul-in and payout direction. The brake is mounted on the hydraulic motor, however is
only released when paying out. When hauling in, the winch drum will rotate due to one way clutch operation.
The hydraulic pump drives the motors via servo valves and associated hydraulic circuitry. The hydraulic motor
can be controlled by the winch (W) control joystick. The winch also incorporates a limit switch assembly which
includes an empty drum limit switch and a full drum limit switch. The geared limit switch assembly is chain
driven via a sprocket on a hub on the winch drum and a small sprocket on the shaft of the geared limit switch
assembly.

SG811-BV-MMA-010
1-3.2.10 Boom Head Assembly. The boom head assembly (figure FO-1 or figure FO-2) consists of a boom head
support, taper roller bearings, rings, split pins, and semi-ring and sheave mounted on the end of the jib boom.
The boom head assembly provides support, direction, and alignment of the wire rope. The boom head is able to
pass a 5/8-inch screw pin anchor shackle if additional hoist wire is added.
1-3.2.11 Slew Ring Locking Assembly. The slew ring locking assembly (figure FO-1 or figure FO-2) consists
of spherical roller bearings, an engage lever, eccentric, and tooth interlock mechanism. The slew ring locking
assembly is mounted on the rear of the revolving turret. This assembly locks the revolving turret in position and
prevents turret rotation when the engage lever is placed in the lock in position.
1-3.2.12 Revolving Turret Assembly. The revolving turret (figure FO-1 or figure FO-2) is a metal revolving
structure mounted on the pedestal. A bearing assembly mounted between the pedestal and turret allows the rela-
tive rotation of the turret. Rotation of the turret results in slewing of the main and jib booms which extend from
the pivot on the turret. Other components mounted on the turret include the control console, control joysticks,
operator’s seat, hydraulic pump, hand pump, electric motor, motor controller, ECU, and several other hydraulic
components. The slew drive components including, the hydraulic motors (2), reduction gear assemblies, and
brakes, are installed on the turret. The slew gear ring is installed on the pedestal and engages the drive gear on
the output shafts of the slew reduction gears. Rotation of the output shaft gear against the stationary slew gear
ring results in rotation of the turret. Additionally, the turret can be locked in position by engaging the rack of the
slew locking mechanism mounted on the turret into the slew gear ring.
1-3.2.13 Electronic Control Unit. The ECU includes components and circuit boards mounted in a nonmagnetic,
dripproof enclosure which provide electronic power to drive the servo valves, solenoid valve and associated con-
trols/indicators. It contains all the electronics and consists of power resistors, transformers, circuit cards and a
filter circuit. Access to the ECU is through a door, on the right side of the turret, adjacent to the operator seat.
1-3.2.14 Electric Motor Starter. The electric motor starter (Figure FO-1 or Figure FO-2) consists of transform-
ers, relays, and shock proof contactor mounted in a nonmagnetic drip proof enclosure. The electric motor starter
is located behind the turret’s side door. When energized, the electric motor starter provides 440 volts alternating
current (vac) to the electric motor and 115 vac to the control panel and ECU.
1-3.2.15 Slew Hydraulic Circuit. The slew hydraulic motor is driven by the pump via the slew hydraulic cir-
cuit as commanded by the operator on the (S) joystick. The circuit consists of the slew hydraulic motor, (S) servo
valve, dual overcenter valve, double control valve (brake valve), and antishock valves. Rotation of the joystick
to left or right causes the servo valve to port fluid to the appropriate side of the slew hydraulic motor, causing
the turret to rotate left or right slewing the booms. The primary function of the overcenter valves is to control the
starting and stopping of the hydraulic motor, acting much like a brake. The double control valve sets or releases
the slew hydraulic motor. The antishock valve will cause the motor to stall should pressure spikes occur in the
hydraulic circuit or the turret strikes any structure or inadvertent overload occurs.
1-3.2.16 Main Cylinder Hydraulic Circuit. The main cylinder is driven by the pump via the main cylinder
hydraulic circuit as commanded by the operator on the (M) joystick. The circuit consists of the main cylinder,
(M) servo valve, overcenter valves, flow restrictor valves, and antishock valves. Rotation of the joystick up or
down causes the servo valve to port fluid to the appropriate end of the main cylinder, causing the cylinder to
extend or retract, forcing the main boom to top up or down. The servo valve controls the amount of flow and
direction of flow (which end of cylinder) to the cylinder based on the joystick position selected by the operator.
The primary function of the overcenter valves is to control the starting and stopping of the cylinder, acting much
like a brake. The antishock valve will cause the cylinder to stall should the boom reach its end travel, interfere
1-7
SG811-BV-MMA-010
with any structure, or excessive loading. The flow restrictor valves are used to ensure the pilot stage of the loaded
overcenter valve is dampened resulting in no boom oscillation.
1-3.2.17 Jib Cylinder Hydraulic Circuit. The jib cylinder is driven by pump via the jib cylinder hydraulic cir-
cuit as commanded by the operator on the (J) joystick. The circuit consists of the jib cylinder, (J) servo valve,
overcenter valves, and antishock valves. Rotation of the joystick in or out causes the servo valve to port fluid to
the appropriate end of the jib cylinder, causing the cylinder to extend or retract, forcing the jib boom to top in
or out. The primary function of the overcenter valves is to control the starting and stopping of the cylinder, act-
ing much like a brake. The antishock valve will cause the cylinder to stall should the jib boom reach its end
travel, interfere with any structure, or excessive loading.
1-3.2.18 Winch Hydraulic Circuit. The winch hydraulic motor is driven by the pump via the winch hydraulic
circuit as commanded by the operator on the (W) joystick. The circuit consists of the winch hydraulic motor, (W)
servo valve, overcenter valve, double control valve (brake valve), and antishock valves. Rotation of the joystick
to hoist or lower causes the servo valve to port fluid to the appropriate side of the winch hydraulic motor, caus-
ing the winch drum to hoist or lower the boat hook. The primary function of the overcenter valves is to control
the starting and stopping of the hydraulic motor, acting much like a brake. The double control valve sets or
releases the hydraulic brake mounted on the hydraulic motor. The antishock valve will cause the motor to stall
should the winch end fitting two block, or the wire rope is overloaded for any reason during movement.
1-3.2.19 Hydraulic Fluid. The hydraulic fluid used in all hydraulic components is petroleum based product per
Mil-H-17672, Symbol 2075, Grade 32. The oil is continually filtered to ensure reduced particulate contamina-
tion. The system includes a suction filter mounted in the pump suction line, a high pressure filter mounted at the
pump discharge and return line filter mounted in the line which returns fluid to the sump. The fluid level in the
sump os visible at the oil level sight glass which is marked for normal range.
1-3.2.20 Oil Cooler. The oil cooler consists of a heat exchanger and a fan driven by a thermostatically con-
trolled electric motor. Oil passes continually through the heat exchanger in the return hydraulic circuit. The fan
pushes air through the cooling fins when the electric motor is running. The electric motor will start to rotate when
the thermostat contacts close when the oil temperature reaches approximately 110 degrees F.
1-3.2.21 Hydraulic Hand Pump. The hydraulic hand pump (figure FO-1 or figure FO-2) is mounted on the left
side of the revolving turret. The hydraulic hand pump is used to manually operate the boat crane if the power
fails while the boat crane is in use. Only one hand pump operation (slewing, topping, lowering) can be performed
at a time due to reduced hydraulic flow.
1-3.2.22 Hydraulic Cross-Connect Equipment. The hydraulic cross-connect equipment, (figure FO-2 and figure
1-3) mounted on the revolving turret consists of three quick disconnect couplings and four ball valves.

CHAPTER 2
OPERATION
2-1. INTRODUCTION.
This chapter provides detailed operating instructions and guidance procedures for safe, effective use of the
boat crane. These instructions and procedures are supplemented by illustrations and tables for operator identifi-
cation and understanding. Operation of the Boat Crane is performed by a single individual seated in the opera-
tor’s seat. The operator must be assisted by riggers and safety observers during movement of the Boat Crane.
The operator controls and indicators are located on the control panel and control console (control sticks),
topside, of the revolving turret. There are separate controls (manual overrides) located on the side of each servo
valve of the block of valves to allow for emergency operation. There is one indicator located on the starboard
side of the revolving turret for the high pressure filter and one indicator located on the rear of the turret for the
low pressure filter. A battle short lever is located on the turret side door, below the operator seat. This lever is
mechanically linked to the battle short switch on the ECU. A hand pump is mounted on the port side of the tur-
ret. The following paragraphs provide a description of the controls and indicators on the Boat crane.
2-2.1 Control Panel Controls And Indicators. The control panel provides the primary operator interface for
operating the crane. Figure 2-1 illustrates the location of the controls and indicators on the control panel. Table
2-1 lists the operator controls and indicators contained on the control panel.
2-2.2 Control Joyticks. The control joysticks are mounted directly in front of the operator when sitting in the
operator seat and provide the control for rotation of the crane on the pedestal, raising and lowering the main
boom, moving the jib boom in and out, and controlling the up and down movement of the winch wire rope.
Figure 2-2 identifies the location of the operator control sticks and table 2-2 describes their operation.
NOTE
The ″J,″ ″M,″ ″S,″ and ″W″ labeled above each control stick corresponds with
the revolving turret servo valves labeled ″J,″ ″M,″ ″S,″ and ″W″ located on the
revolving turret block of valves.
2-2.3 Servovalves Manual Control Functions. Movement of the jib boom, main boom, turret, and winch can be
accomplished locally at the servo valves. These controls are normally protected by a cover that must be removed
to allow operation. Operation of the servo valves using the manual overrides requires that electric power and
hydraulic pressure be available. The manual overrides are used to allow a maintenance technician to verify proper
operation of the servo valve in the event that the operator control sticks are malfunctioning. Due to the location
of the boat crane, operators should never attempt to rotate the boat crane or perform any lifting function using
the manual override for the servo valves. Refer to figure 2-3 and table 2-3 for the location and description of the
controls.

WARNING
When the boat crane is being powered by the hydraulic pump and operated with the servovalves, only slow speeds
shall be used as injury to personnel could occur.
1. J Servovalve control When the control is moved in the CW direction, the jib boom will move in
the outward direction. The speed at which the jib boom moves is dependent
on how far the control is turned. When the control is turned to its maximum
limit CW, the jib boom will move outward at the maximum speed. The con-
trol is spring loaded and will automatically return to the neutral position
when released.
When the control is moved in the CCW direction, the jib boom will move in
the inward direction. The speed at which the jib boom moves is dependent
on how far the control is turned. When the control is turned to its maximum
limit CCW, the jib boom will move inward at the maximum speed. The con-
trol is spring loaded and will automatically return to the neutral position
when released.
2. M Servovalve control When the control is moved in the CW direction, the main boom will move
in the downward direction. The speed at which the main boom moves is
dependent on how far the control is turned. When the control is turned to its
maximum limit CW, the main boom will move downward at the maximum
speed. The control is spring loaded and will automatically return to the neu-
tral position when released.
When the control is moved in the CCW direction, the main boom will move
in the upward direction. The speed at which the main boom moves is depen-
dent on how far the control is turned.
When the control is turned to its maximum limit CCW, the main boom will
move upward at the maximum speed. The control is spring loaded and will
automatically return to the neutral position when released.
3. S Servovalve control When the control is moved in the CW direction, the turret will rotate in the
CW (right) direction. The speed at which the turret moves is dependent on
how far the control is turned. When the control is turned to its maximum
limit CW, the turret will move CW (right) at the maximum speed. The con-
trol is spring loaded and will automatically return to the neutral position
when released.
When the control is moved in the CCW direction, the turret will rotate in
the CCW (left) direction. The speed at which the turret moves is dependent
on how far the control is turned. When the control is turned to its maximum
limit CCW, the turret will move CCW at the maximum speed. The control is
spring loaded and will automatically return to the neutral position when
released.
4. W Servovalve control When the control is moved in the CW direction, the winch drum will rotate
in the CW direction (down) to pay out the wire rope. The speed at which
the wire rope is paid out is dependent on how far the control is turned.
When the control is turned to its maximum limit CW, the wire rope will be
paid out (down) at the maximum speed. The control is spring loaded and
will automatically return to the neutral position when released.

WARNING
The equipment shall be returned to its normal operating condition once the
emergency is secured, as injury to personnel and damage to the equipment
could occur.
2-2.4 Battle Short Lever. The battle short lever and BATTLE SHORT switch are used for emergency operation
to operate the motor when it is in a current overload condition. Figure 2-4 illustrates the location of the battle
short lever and switch. Table 2-4 describes the battle short lever and switch functions.
2-2.5 Slew Ring Locking Assembly. The slew ring locking assembly, figure 2-5, is located at the rear of the
crane. The slew ring locking assembly is used to lock the turret in the stowage position when not in use to ensure
that the boat crane does not rotate in the event that the hydraulic brake is released. The handle is stored on the
right side of the turret, to the right of the slew ring locking assembly. The handle is inserted into the locking
device and moved in the direction desired. The handle is then stored back in its holder until it is to be used again.
2-2.6 Hand Pump. The hand pump, figure 2-6, is located on the left-hand side of the revolving turret, just to
the left of the ladder going up to the operator seat. The pump handle is mounted on the side of the ladder. The
handle is removed from its stowage position and inserted into the pump. The handle is moved in an up and down
motion to move hydraulic fluid through the system.
2-2.7 Gauges. As shown in figure 2-7 and table 2-5, there is one temperature gauge (3), a submersible suction
filter pressure indicator (5), an oil level sight glass (1), a high pressure filter indicator (4), a low pressure filter
indicator (2), and a pressure gauge (6) located on the revolving turret.

2-4.1 Operator Turn-On. Power is supplied to the boat crane from the 1S switchboard located in the central
control station 1-23-1-C, through the respective power cables. Prior to powering up or applying power to the boat
crane, the boat crane should be checked out (refer to the preoperational check procedures listed in table 2-8,
figure 2-12, and figure 2-13). When the operator has completed the preoperational procedures, the boat crane is
ready to be turned-on. Refer to the turn-on procedures listed in table 2-9. All controls for the crane are within
easy access when the operator is on-station.
WARNING
Operation of the servo valves using the local valve controls is inherently
dangerous to operating personnel especially for slewing the boat crane.
2-17
SG811-BV-MMA-010
2-4.2 Modes of Operation. The normal mode of operation of the boat crane is by manually controlling the jib
boom (J), main boom (M), winch (W), and rotation (S) servo valves using the operator control joysticks and
pushbutton switches mounted in front of the operator seat on the control console. Refer to table 2-10 for normal
boat crane operating procedures. The boat crane can also be operated in another manual mode using the hand
pump, and in a second manual mode by directly operating a switch at the servo valves. The hand pump is used
whenever the hydraulic pump is inoperable and any movement of the Boat Crane is required. The servo valves
should only be operated at the local servo valve controls to verify faults in the control joysticks.
2-4.2.1 Boat Hook Operation. The hook provided with the crane is designed for locking the load as soon as it
is attached. When lifting the boat, the hook should be released as soon as the boat is waterborne but before the
steadying lines to the boat are released. To release the load, the lanyard to the hook must be pulled as soon as
the wire cable slackens. There are three modes of operation (see figure 2-14):
WARNING
The hook should only be set for automatic release when ordered by the
Officer-in-Charge and under the direction of the boat COXSWAIN just
prior to launching the boat. Premature release could cause damage to per-
sonnel injury.
1. Closing and Locking. The hook is closed and locked by either inserting
the ring of the boat sling into the open ejector, or by rotating the ejector
cam down, by hand, into the closed and locked position.
2. Tripping and Opening. With the hook in the closed and locked position,
the ejector cam is tripped and pivoted to the open position by pulling
down on the release hook lanyard. The cam pivots with sufficient force to
eject the lifting ring, but only if the load has been removed.
3. Automatic Release. After the release hook is closed and locked, it can be
set for automatic release by loading the hook with a 50–pound minimum
load and briefly exerting a 25-pound pull on the release lanyard. The
hook will automatically permit the ejector cam to rotate to the open posi-
tion without having to pull the release lanyard a second time.
WARNING
Boat Crane operations have inherent hazards that cannot be mechanically safeguarded. Hard hats, safety glasses, and
safety shoes must be worn to prevent personal injury or death.

Step PROCEDURE
CAUTION
If the hydraulic fluid level in the boat crane sump is below the safe operating level (below minimum range) or any
physical defects are noted, tag the boat crane ″OUT-OF-SERVICE.″ Failure to comply may cause damage to the boat
crane.
1. Visually check the booms, sheaves, flex hoses, wire rope, hook, hook latch, and cylinders for any damage,
missing and loose bolts or pins, corrosion, or excessive wear.
2. Ensure the fluid level in the oil level sight glass is above the minimum range.
3. Ensure the slew ring locking assembly lever is in the unlock (LOCK OUT) position (figure 2-5).
4. At the 1S Switchboard, located in central control station 1-23-1-C, place circuit breaker to the ″ON″ position.
NOTE
Refer to Ship Information Book, Volume 3 for correct circuit breaker location and number.
5. Ensure a rigger is on standby when the operator is ready to turn on the boat crane to conduct lifting and hoist-
ing operations.
6. Remove spring split pin (1, figure 2-12) from locking pin (2) and remove the pin locking the boom head roller
in place to allow it to move freely.
7. Remove split pin (3) from locking pin (4) on boom head and remove locking pin to allow boom head to
swivel.
8. Check the position of all valves as follows, referring to figure 2-13:
Ball Valve 9 - open
Ball Valve 42 - closed

The cross-connect emergency operation permits the hydraulic power unit (HPU) of the boat crane to supply
hydraulic power to the multi-purpose crane (MPC) when it has lost normal system hydraulic pressure due to the
loss of 440 vac power to the electric motor or a failure or loss of control of the hydraulic pump. This interface
is for emergency operation of hydraulic power through a hydraulic cross-connect system. The hydraulic cross-
connect quick connect couplings are located on the back of the boat crane turret adjacent to the slew locking
device. The three boat crane quick disconnects are used to connect flexible hydraulic hose (equipped with quick
connect coupling halves) and ships piping for interface with the multi-purpose crane hydraulic power unit. Like-
wise the multi-purpose crane is capable of supplying hydraulic power to the boat crane. To connect and activate
the cross-connection of both cranes refer to table 2-17, table 2-18, table 2-19, and figure 2-16. The three lines
between the two cranes include the high pressure (pressure compensated pump output) 3/4-inch, low pressure
(return line) 1-inch, and the (motor case) drain 1/2-inch lines. The return lines and case drain lines are necessary
to ensure the sumps do not fill during operation. When cross connected, the supplying unit electric motor must
be on and the other unit’s electric motor must be off however electric power must be available to allow for
operation of the other unit’s joysticks/servo valves. If manual operation of the servo valves is required, follow
operating instructions, warnings and cautions provided in table 2-14, table 2-15, and table 2-16.

CHAPTER 3
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3-1. INTRODUCTION.
This chapter provides a functional description of the boat crane and its major subassemblies. It describes how
the major subassemblies operate and interact with each other, while also providing a description of the interfaces
with other equipment. Where piece numbers are indicated refer to figure FO-3 or figure FO-4 unless otherwise
directed.
3-2.1 Hoisting Operation. Hoisting operation refers to to rotation of the winch assembly resulting in the hoist-
ing/lowering of the load on the wire rope. The winch assembly consists of a hoist drum with integral reduction
gear driven by a hydraulic motor, incorporating a brake and a one way clutch. The bitter end of the wire rope is
connected to the winch drum and the hook that connects to the load is passed over a fairlead sheave at the end
of the jib boom. The hydraulic motor rotates the reducer shaft in both the haul-in and payout direction. The
hydraulic motor reducer drives a common planetary gear set enclosed in the winch drum hub. The hydraulic
motor shaft is connected to the reducer input shaft via the one way clutch. The outer hub of the one way clutch
is also connected to the brake. The spring set, hydraulically released brake mounted on the hydraulic motor, is
always spring set unless paying out. When hauling in, although the brake does not release, the one way clutch
disengages from the brake, allowing the reduction gear input shaft to rotate. The one way clutch contains several
rollers which are housed in a wedge shaped slot between the inner and outer hubs. Rotation of the one way clutch
in the haul-in direction will cause the rollers to move toward the larger ends of the wedge shaped slots allowing
3-1
SG811-BV-MMA-010
the inner hub to run free of the outer hub (the clutch is disengaged). Rotation of the one way clutch in the payout
direction causes the rollers to move to the narrow end of the wedge shape slots engaging the inner and outer hubs.
Engagement of the one way clutch causes connection of the motor shaft to brake and reducer input shaft when-
ever rotated in the payout direction. The hydraulic motor is powered by the winch hydraulic circuit.
The winch motor hydraulic circuitry is arranged to supply fluid to one port and return fluid from the other
port. The supply and return are separate legs from the servo valve to the hydraulic motor. Supply fluid is pro-
vided from the pump via the servo valve (36) to one port of the hydraulic motor. Return fluid is exhausted from
the other hydraulic motor port, through the servo valve back to the return circuit, terminating at the sump. Port-
ing within the servo valve maintains separation of the supply and return circuitry.
The winch hydraulic motor (1) control begins by the operator rotating the (W) (38) joystick in either direc-
tion (UP or DOWN), sending a proportional electrical signal to the winch servo valve (6). The servo valve torque
motor is positioned proportional to the electrical signal resulting in alignment/opening of the pressure port (P) to
an output port (A or B) and alignment/opening of the return/tank port to the remaining output port. The pump
automatically provides the fluid flow needed to move the motor pistons. The pump pressure compensator senses
a slight drop in pressure and responds by increasing the pump stroke (or swash plate angle) resulting in increased
output flow of fluid to the winch circuit. The servo valve sends the flow to either the hoist or lower side of the
winch circuit depending on the direction selected by the operator. The winch circuitry includes the servo valve,
antishock valve (5), overcenter valve (4), and double control valve (3). When paying out, the electrical signal
directs the sero valve to port hydraulic fluid to the winch hydraulic motor (1) and double control valve (3) simul-
taneously. The double control valve (3) (also referred to as the brake valve) directs the hydraulic fluid to release
the hydraulic brake only in the lower/payout direction. Starting and stopping of the hydraulic motor in the haul-in
direction is controlled by the overcenter valve (4). The overcenter valve is installed just prior to the hydraulic
motor port. Hydraulic motor rotation (haul-in only) is initiated by flow passing through a check valve incorpo-
rated in the overcenter valve. Once through the check valve the flow enters the motor port forcing motor rota-
tion. Prior to paying out the winch/hydraulic motor, the overcenter valve is opened via a pilot stage which is
pressurized by fluid in the payout (supply) leg of the winch hydraulic circuit. The pilot fluid acts on the end of
the spool within the valve causing the valve to open, allowing fluid to exit the motor. Motor (payout) rotation is
stopped when the pressure of the fluid in the pilot stage of the overcenter valve drops causing the spool in the
overcenter valve on the other winch motor port (haul-in side) to close, blocking flow from exiting the motor and
causing the winch motor to slow and stop. Additionally, the hydraulic brake sets (payout only) when fluid pres-
sure drops on the pilot stage of the double control valve causing the valve spool to shift, venting the brake line
fluid and setting the brake. The antishock valve (5) provides protection within the winch hydraulic circuit from
pressure spikes or overload. The antishock valve consists of two independently set cartridge type relief valves
which are normally closed, blocking flow between the two legs of the winch hydraulic circuit. When pressure
exceeds the setting of the antishock valve, the valve will open, allowing flow from one leg of the circuit to the
other. When this occurs, flow is in effect bypassing the slew hydraulic motors and rotation is stalled or halted.
The hydraulic motor consists of several pistons with shoes, cylinder barrel, shaft, bearings, holddown assem-
bly, port plate, valve block, cam plate, and housing. The motor shaft is driven by the pistons, which are driven
hydraulically by the pump via winch servo valve via the winch hydraulic circuit. The motor valve block includes
to separate ports that are connected by separate legs of the circuit to the winch servo valve. Pressurized fluid is
ported to one side of the valve block and the other side of the valve block is connected to the return leg that
leads to the sump via the servo valve. A port plate is mounted on the valve block incorporating two kidney shaped
ports which align with the piston ports in the end of the cylinder barrel. Fluid is forced through the valve block
and one side of the port plate into the cylinders behind the pistons. The piston shoes are forced against the cam
plate which has an angled face. As each piston is forced to extend from its cylinder, it also pushes against the
angled cam face causing the motor and connected shaft to rotate. When the piston reaches maximum extension,
the cylinder of that piston aligns with the end of the kidney shaped port of the port plate. The filled cylinder now
exits the pressurized port, then enters the return port. The piston shoe is forced up the inclined surface of the cam
causing the piston to push into the cylinder which causes all fluid to exhaust into the return side of the valve
3-2
SG811-BV-MMA-010
block. The piston is at the bottom of the cylinder bore when the end of the return kidney shaped port is encoun-
tered and the cycle begins over for that piston. The motor speed is controlled by the volume of fluid entering the
hydraulic motor.
Winch drum rotation causes rotation of a geared limit switch assembly which includes an empty drum limit
switch and a full drum limit switch. The geared limit switch assembly is chain driven via a sprocket on a hub on
the winch drum and a small sprocket on the shaft of the geared limit switch assembly. When the empty drum
limit switch is actuated (when approximately 2-1/2 turns of wire rope remain on drum), the payout winch elec-
trical signal is cut off from the servo valve and the brake will stop the winch. When the full limit switch is actu-
ated, the winch haul-in electrical signal is cut off from the servo valve and overcenter valve and the brake will
stop and hold the winch motor.
3-2.2 Topping Operation. Topping identifies rotation of a boom about a horizontal pivot. The main boom and
jib boom are topped about a pivot by the action of hydraulic cylinders. The main and jib cylinder electrical con-
trol and hydraulic circuitry are basically the same. The cylinders (20 and 22) are basically a cylindrical housing,
end caps, piston and rod, and associated seals and hardware. The rod projects from one end of the cylinder iden-
tified as the head end. The other end is identified as the cap end. Cylinder motion is caused by porting pressur-
ized fluid to one end of the cylinder and allowing fluid to exit the other end. The speed of the cylinder is depen-
dent on the rate of fluid entering or leaving the cylinder and in this case is controlled by the servo valve. Topping
the main boom up requires filling the cap end of the cylinder with pressurized fluid. Topping the main boom
down requires filling the head (rod) end of the cylinder with pressurized fluid.
The cylinder hydraulic circuitry is arranged to supply fluid to one end of the cylinder and exhaust or return
fluid from the other end. The supply and return are separate legs from the servo valve to the cylinder. Supply
fluid is provided from the pump via the servo valve to one end of cylinder. Return fluid is exhausted from the
cylinder through the servo valve back to the return circuit, terminating at the sump. Porting within the servo valve
maintains separation of the supply and return circuitry.
Cylinder control begins by the operator rotating the (M (40) or J (17)) joystick in either direction, sending a
proportional electrical signal to the cylinder servo valve (12 and 37) respectively. The servo valve torque motor
is positioned proportional to the electrical signal resulting in alignment/opening of the pressure port to an output
port (A or B) and alignment/opening of the tank port to the remaining output port. The pump automatically pro-
vides the fluid flow needed to move the cylinder. The pump (16) pressure compensator senses a slight drop in
pressure and responds by increasing the pump stroke (or swash plate angle) resulting in increased output flow of
fluid to the cylinder circuit. The servo valve sends the flow to either the rod end (to retract) or other end of the
cylinder (to extend) depending on the direction selected by the operator.
Starting and stopping of the cylinder at any point, is controlled by the overcenter valves (21 and 23). An
overcenter valve is installed at each end of the cylinder. Cylinder movement is initiated by flow passing through
a check valve incorporated in the overcenter valve. Then the flow directed to the cylinder end of the valve is
connected. The valve at the other end of the cylinder is hydraulically opened by a pilot line providing pressur-
ized fluid from the inlet of the other overcenter valve. This pilot fluid acts on the end of a spool causing the valve
to open, allowing fluid to exit the cylinder. Cylinder movement is stopped when the pressure of the fluid in the
pilot stage drops causing the spool in the overcenter valve on the other end of the cylinder to close, blocking
flow from exiting the cylinder and causing the cylinder to slow and stop. The main cylinder up overcenter valve
(21) incorporates two flow control valves (57) on the pilot stage of the cap end overcenter valve. This restriction
acts to slow the flow to and from the pilot stage of the overcenter valve to eliminate any erratic motion of the
main boom.
The supply and return legs of the cylinder circuit are protected by an antishock valve (34 and 35), which is
also commonly referred to as a relief valve. The antishock valve is normally closed, allowing no flow between
the supply and return legs of the circuit. When pressure exceeds the setting of the antishock valve, the valve will
3-3
SG811-BV-MMA-010
open, allowing flow from one leg of the circuit to the other. When this occurs, flow is in effect bypassing the
cylinder and cylinder motion is stalled or halted. This condition will occur if the boom interferes with any struc-
ture and when the cylinder piston is at the end of travel.
3-2.3 Slewing Operation. Slewing refers to the rotation of the booms and the turret assembly relative to the
pedestal. The slew drive consists of a slew hydraulic motor (31), which drives a reduction gear fitted with a pin-
ion gear, driving against the stationary gear ring fixed to the pedestal. A hydraulic brake (60) is mounted between
the reduction gear and hydraulic motor. The brake is hydraulically released to allow the hydraulic motor to be
powered via the slew hydraulic circuit causing the turret to slew. The turret is supported by a large bearing, which
includes rollers, allowing the relative motion and supporting the load between the pedestal and the turret.
The slew motor hydraulic circuitry is arranged to supply fluid to one port and return fluid from the other port.
The supply and return are separate legs from the servo valve to the hydraulic motor. Supply fluid is provided
from the pump via the servo valve (36) to one port of the hydraulic motor. Return fluid is exhausted from the
other hydraulic motor port, through the servo valve back to the return circuit, terminating at the sump. Porting
within the servo valve maintains separation of the supply and return circuitry.
The supply and return legs of the slew circuit are protected by an antishock valve (33) which is also referred
to as a relief valve. The antishock valve is normally closed allowing no flow between the supply and return legs
of the circuit. When pressure exceeds the setting of the antishock valve, the valve will open, allowing flow from
one leg of the circuit to the other. When this occurs, flow is in effect bypassing the slew hydraulic motors and
rotation is stalled or halted.
Slew motor control begins by the operator rotating the S joystick in either direction, sending a proportional
electrical signal to the slew servo valve (36). The servo valve torque motor is positioned proportional to the elec-
trical signal resulting in alignment/opening of the pressure port to an output port (A or B) and alignment/open-
ing of the return/tank port to the remaining output port. The pump automatically provides the fluid flow needed
to move the motor pistons. The pump pressure compensator senses a slight drop in pressure and responds by
increasing the pump stroke (or swask plate angle) resulting in increased output flow of fluid to the slew circuit.
The servo valve sends the flow to either the right or left leg of the slew circuit depending on the direction selected
by the operator.
Starting and stopping of the turret/hydraulic motors at any point, is controlled by the overcenter valves (32),
the hydraulic brake (60), and brake valve (2). An overcenter valve is installed at each hydraulic motor port and
a brake is installed on the hydraulic motor output shaft. Hydraulic motor rotation is initiated by flow passing
through a check valve incorporated in the overcenter valve. The flow is then directed to the leg of the slew
hydraulic motor where the valve is connected. The overcenter valve at the other port of the slew motor is
hydraulically opened by a pilot line providing pressurized fluid from the inlet of the other overcenter valve. This
pilot fluid acts on the end of a spool within the overcenter valve causing the valve to open, allowing fluid to exit
the motor. Motor rotation is stopped when the pressure of the fluid in the pilot stage drops causing the spool in
the overcenter valve on the other slew motor port to close, blocking flow from exiting the motor and causing the
slew motor to slow and stop. Additionally, the hydraulic brake sets when fluid pressure drops the pilot on the
brake valve (2) causing the valve spool to shift, venting brake line fluid causing the brake to set.
(For MHC 52, 55, 58 and 59) When the slew limit proximity switches (figure FO-5) arrive at either the
clockwise or counterclockwise proximity sensing plate, the crane stops due to the slew limit relay energizing and
opening the circuitry of the solenoid for the servo valve (36).
3-2.4 Emergency Operation. The boat crane can be operated in emergency using various methods. A hand
pump (19) is provided to allow manual operation when electric power is not available or control circuitry is not
functioning. During emergency operation using the hand pump, several manual valves must be opened or closed
3-4
SG811-BV-MMA-010
in sequence as described in paragraph 2-5, table 2-14, and table 2-15. The operator can only operate one hydrau-
lic motor or cylinder at a time. Also, the winch cannot be hoisted or payed out when using the hand pump.
The boat crane can be operated by cross connecting with the multi-purpose crane (MPC). This is accom-
plished basically by attaching three hydraulic hoses from quick connects on the boat crane (pressure, return, and
case return) and quick connects on the MPC (pressure, return, and case return) to three quick connects at either
end of piping installed permanently between the two cranes. If the boat crane electric motor or the pump or its
control is defective, the boat crane and MPC can be cross connected and used for normal operations utilizing
paragraph 2-8, table 2-17, table 2-18, and table 2-19. Additionally, the boat crane can be used to power the MPC.
Should a problem arise during operation, the boat crane can be controlled using the manual levers on the
servo valves. The manual operation is extremely sensitive and should only be used to retrieve the unit. Observe
operational instructions and cautions provided in paragraph 2-5 and table 2-16.
3-3.1 Overall Hydraulic Cross-Connect System Description. The boat cranes installed on board the MHC 51,
MHC 52, MHC 55, and MHC 58 through MHC 62 ships, have the capability to interface to the hydraulic power
unit of the multi-purpose crane (MPC), through permanently mounted hydraulic lines on the ship. This allows
the boat crane hydraulic power unit to supply hydraulic power to the MPC in case of failure of the MPC’s
hydraulic power unit. The cross-connect system (figure 1-3, figure 2-16, figure FO-4) consists of three quick dis-
connect couplings (64, 66 and 68) and four ball valves (63, 65, 67 and 69.) The MPC is also capable of using
its own hydraulic power unit to provide external power to the boat crane.
3-5
SG811-BV-MMA-010
boom cylinder from leaking off if the main boom is extended and thereby preventing any movement of the main
boom except by the control joystick. This is required especially when the main boom is extended with a heavy
load attached. If the main boom cylinder piston is extended and is to be retracted, the control joystick causes the
servo valve to direct the high pressure fluid to the left side of the piston through the overcenter valve (21). As
the cylinder moves to the right, the fluid at the rear of the cylinder goes through the overcenter valve (21) and
through the servo valve (12) to the hydraulic sump return line.
Operation of the jib boom cylinder (22) hydraulics is identical to the main boom cylinder (20), except that
there are no one way restrictors in the jib boom cylinder hydraulic system.
When the control joystick (39) is moved to slew the crane to the right, the slew control signal allows high
pressure fluid through the servo valve (36) through overcenter valve (32) to the hydraulic motor (31). Fluid passes
through the motor through overcenter valve (32), through servo valve (36), and back to the hydraulic sump return
line. The hydraulic brake (60) is released by the flow of high pressure fluid through double control valve (2). The
output of the double control valve (2) goes through ball valve (44) and directly to the brake (60). With this line
pressurized, the brake will be released. As soon as pressure is removed, the brake (60) will automatically be
reapplied. Moving the turret in the other direction is identical except fluid goes through the other side of the sys-
tem.
Operation of the winch hydraulic system is identical to the slew hydraulic system.
The pilot operated relief valve (7) is set to relieve should the pressure of the system rise above 2,030 pounds
per square inch (psi). If this occurs, the pressure is vented back to the sump through the hydraulic sump return
line. The hydraulic return line goes through check valve (10), through the low pressure filter (24), and ball valve
(48) and into the hydraulic fluid sump.
When the hydraulic motor (13) or hydraulic pump (16) are not working, the system can be operated by using
the hand pump (19). In this configuration, hydraulic fluid is taken directly from the hydraulic sump through hand
pump (19) and check valve (18). Operation is accomplished by closing all of the drain valves (53, 54, 55, or 56).
The only valve left open is the one that the system is to be operated from. By opening valve (43), closing valve
(44), and pumping the hand pump, the hydraulic brake for slewing the crane can be operated. To move the main
boom, jib boom, or winch, the associated drain valve must be opened to allow the flow of hydraulic fluid through
the associated system.
3-4.1 Functional Hydraulic Cross-Connect System Description. The following description is for the hydraulic
cross-connect system (figure FO-4) on board the MHC 51, MHC 52, MHC 55, and MHC 58 through MHC 62
ships. The hydraulic power unit on the boat crane is required to interface with the hydraulic power unit on the
MPC. This will allow the boat crane to be powered by the MPC hydraulic power unit should the boat crane
hydraulic unit fail. This will also allow the boat crane to power the MPC. When the hydraulic power unit fails,
the three flexible hoses are connected to the three quick disconnects, high pressure (64), low pressure (66) and
drain hose (68). The other ends are connected to ship’s fixed tubing for transfer to the MPC. To receive hydrau-
lic power from the MPC, open ball valves (63 and 69) for high pressure, close ball valve (48), and open ball
valve (65) for low pressure, and for the drain line, vertically open the three-way ball valve (67). Now activate the
hydraulic system on the MPC for hydraulic power.
3-5.1 Hydraulic Pump. The hydraulic pump (figure 3-1) consists of a drive shaft, several pistons with shoes,
cylinder barrel, bearings, holddown assembly, port plate, valve block, cam plate and housing. The pump shaft is
3-6
SG811-BV-MMA-010
driven by the electric motor at a continuous 1,800 rpm. The shaft is mechanically connected to the cylinder bar-
rel incorporating the several pistons. Each piston is forced up and down within its individual cylinder creating
the pumping action as the barrel is rotated. The pump valve block includes two separate ports referred to as the
suction and discharge ports. A port plate is mounted on the valve block which incorporates two kidney shaped
ports which align with the piston ports in the end of the cylinder barrel. Fluid is drawn from the sump via the
suction filter, through the valve block and one side of the port plate into the cylinders behind the pistons. The
piston’s shoes are forced against the swash plate which has an angled (variable) face. As each piston shoe slides
up the angled swash plate and the piston extends from its cylinder, it is filled with fluid from the sump. When
the piston reaches maximum extension, the cylinder of that piston aligns with the end of the kidney shaped port
of the port plate. The filled cylinder now enters the discharge kidney shaped port. The piston shoe is forced down
the inclined surface of the angled swash plate causing the piston to push into the cylinder which causes all fluid
to exhaust into the discharge side of the valve block. The piston is at the bottom of the cylinder bore when the
end of the return kidney shaped port is encountered and the cycle begins over for that piston. The pump flow is
controlled by varying the pump swash plate angle. This is achieved by the pump pressure compensator control
and a stroking piston. The stroking piston is connected to the angled swash plate and can move (stroke) it from
about zero to approximately 17 degrees. The piston is positioned by the amount of fluid in its cylinder. The com-
pensator is basically a pressure control valve which ports fluid to or from the cylinder to control the pump out-
put pressure. The compensator is set at 3,000 psi and will cause the pump to maintain the pressure at this level
no matter the flow demand by the various actuator hydraulic circuits. When no command is generated by the
operator on the joysticks, the pump flow is near zero and the pump swash plate angle is near zero degrees. When
one of the servo valves is opened, the pump flow is directed to the associated actuator (motor or cylinder) caus-
ing a flow demand. The system pressure is reduced and the compensator responds by sending fluid to the strok-
ing cylinder causing the piston to continue to stroke until the system pressure once again reaches the set value
at 3,000 psi. Each time an actuator is hydraulically driven, the pump must meet the flow demand and maintain
the pressure from the pump to the servo valve at 3,000 psi. The operator can also select two operations at one
time such as topping the jib and main boom simultaneously. This creates a large flow demand and may result in
some temporary slowing due to the limited availability of fluid. The pressure may fluctuate somewhat during
acceleration and during large flow demands such as simultaneous operations; however the pressure will always
be sufficient to support the load. The pilot operated relief valve (7) is set to relieve should the pressure of the
system rises above 3,300 psi. If this occurs, fluid is directed back to the sump through the hydraulic sump return
line. This is not normal operation; however, it provides some system overload protection, should a malfunction
occur.
3-5.2 Valve Block. The valve block (figure 3-2) consists of four servo valves, figure 3-3, one pilot relief valve,
and four drain cock valves. The following paragraphs provide the detailed functional description of the valve
block.
3-5.2.1 Servo Valves. The servo valves (36, 37, 12, and 6) receive an electrical signal from the control joy-
sticks. This signal directs hydraulic fluid through the servo valve figure 3-3, to the antishock valves, (33, 35, 34,
and 5; double control valves (2 and 3); and overcenter valves (32, 21, and 4) to the hydraulic motors (1 and 31)
for operation. The servo valves consist of an electromagnetic torque motor, a double nozzle pilot stage, and a
spool as the main stage. As shown in figure 3-4, as the operator moves the control stick, a DC electrical signal
is sent to the torque motor and, based on signal polarity, applies a clockwise or counterclockwise torque on the
armature. This torque displaces the flapper between the pair of nozzles. Consequently, the exit area of one nozzle
is increased and that of the other is decreased. This results in a pressure difference at the ends of the main stage
spool which causes the spool to shift and direct main system flow to the actuator (cylinder or motor). A feedback
wire fixed to the armature of the torque motor engages in a slot in the main stage spool. This wire bends with
spool displacement and provides feedback torque. Displacement of the spool stops when the wire feedback torque
equals the motor electromagnetic torque. In this condition, the armature-flapper assembly is recentered and a
3-7
SG811-BV-MMA-010
hydraulic balance results. The main stage spool remains at this position until the operator changes the magnitude
of the input signal by moving the control stick. Spool displacement (actuator speed) is directly proportional to
the electrical input signal to the torque motor (control joystick movement). This valve also incorporates a
mechanical zero which is adjustable. The adjustment sets the output (usually zero) valve when no electrical sig-
nal is sent to the torque motor.
3-5.2.1.1 Mechanical Override. These servo valves have a mechanical override feature which provides for
standby operation in the event of electrical failure. A lever is located on the torque motor cap. Manual rotation
of the lever causes a force to be applied to the pilot stage flapper via springs. The force is proportional to the
angle of rotation of the lever and acts to displace the main stage spool directing hydraulic flow to the actuator.
3-5.2.2 Pilot Relief Valve. The main system pilot-operated relief valve (7) will protect the system from dam-
age due to over pressurization by relieving fluid to the tank should system pressure reach 3,300 psig. Since the
system maximum pressure is controlled by the pump pressure compensator at 3,000 psig, the main system relief
valve remains closed under normal conditions. The pilot stage consists of a spring-loaded needle valve and seat,
and the main stage consists of a spring-loaded spool. As pressure builds to the pilot stage set point, the needle
is lifted from its seat. This causes a flow path which creates a differential pressure across the main stage spool.
The differential pressure lifts the spool off its seat to provide high flow relief to the tank. When pressure drops
below the pilot stage setting, the needle valve closes against its seat disrupting flow. A pressure balance across
the spring-loaded spool is restored closing the spool. This valve also has a normally closed solenoid-vented relief
option. When the solenoid-operated directional valve is deenergized, the relief functions as a standard pilot-
operated relief. When the solenoid valve is energized, the pilot stage is vented to the tank. This creates a differ-
ential pressure across the main spool fully venting main system flow to the tank. The solenoid valve is energized
for a short time during startup to allow the pump to generate flow under no-load conditions. The solenoid valve
will remain energized to prevent pressure buildup should the crane monitoring system sense a no-go condition
during startup.
3-5.2.3 Drain Cock Valves. The drain cock valves (53, 54, 55 and 56) are used in emergency operation, when
the hydraulic power unit is inoperative.
3-5.3 Control Valves. The control valves (figure 3-5) consists of four antishock valves, two double control
valves, and six overcenter valves. The following paragraphs provide the detailed description of the control valves.
3-5.3.1 Antishock Valves. The antishock valves (33, 34, 35, and 5) smooth out the hydraulic fluid pressure
coming from valve block (41) servo valves to prevent sudden pressure changes during topping of the booms,
rotating the turret or rotation of the winch.
The antishock valves are direct-acting, crossport relief valves. These valves are called antishock vice relief
valves because of their intended function and location in the hydraulic circuit. The valve is intended to relieve
system pressure spikes resulting from rapid flow changes which can occur during servo or control valve opera-
tion.
3-5.3.2 Overcenter Valves. These valves are used to control the flow to and from the hydraulic actuators (cyl-
inder or hydraulic motor) especially during the starting and stopping. Overcenter valves, figure 3-6, are installed
at each cylinder port or motor port. Overcenter valves are used in each of the hydraulic circuits to control the
main and jib cylinders and the slew and winch motors.
3-8
SG811-BV-MMA-010
3-5.3.2.1 Cylinder Overcenter Valves. Two overcenter valves (23) are installed on the jib cylinder to control
the jib boom cylinder (22) flow/motion. Two overcenter valves (21) are installed on the main cylinder to control
the main boom cylinder (20) flow/motion. One overcenter valve is installed at each cylinder port.
The valve incorporates a stationary disc shaped valve body with two seats and several port holes. This valve
body is located between the cylinder port and the pressure/return port. The ball seat and ball are located on the
pressure/return port side. The check valve seat is located on the cylinder port side of the valve body. The ball is
held in place with the spring and ball/spring retainer. The spring is adjustable with an external adjustment screw.
The check valve is held on its seat by a light spring and retainer. The pilot piston and pin are also mounted on
the cylinder port side. The pilot port is isolated from the cylinder port by a seal about the pilot piston outside
diameter. The other side of the piston is exposed to the pressure/return port pressure via an internal pilot port
within the valve body. The piston pin bears against the piston center at one end and bears against the seated ball
at the other end. Any flow through the valve must travel through the valve body. The direction of flow is depen-
dent on which device is unseated due to the forces/pressure acting on it.
The overcenter valve includes three external ports which are identified as cylinder port, pressure/return port
(to servo valve), and the pilot port. The flow path between the cylinder port and pressure/return port can occur
three ways. Refer to figure 3-7, figure 3-8, and figure 3-9.
1. A flow path occurs when pressure at the pressure/return port is greater than the pressure in the cylinder port.
The check valve disc moves from its seat allowing free flow from the servo valve (pressure port) to the cyl-
inder port.
2. A flow path occurs when the overcenter valve pilot is pressurized, causing the pilot piston to push the pin
against the ball and compressed spring. When the pilot force on the piston exceeds the spring force on the
ball, the ball is lifted from the ball seat and flow will occur from the cylinder to the servo valve return port.
3. A flow path occurs when the force on the seated ball due to pressure in the cylinder port exceeds the spring
force on the other end of the ball.
The cylinder will extend when pressurized fluid is directed from the servo valve to the cap end overcenter
valve and the servo valve return port is aligned with the rod end port to create a flow path for the exhausted fluid.
The flow path described in item 1 above will occur through the cap end overcenter valve and the flow path
described in item 2 will occur through the rod end overcenter valve simultaneously. The cylinder will retract
when pressurized fluid is directed from the servo valve to the rod end overcenter valve and the servo valve return
port is aligned with the cap end port to create a flow path for the exhausted fluid. The flow path described in item
1 above will now occur through the rod end overcenter valve and the flow path described in item 2 will occur
through the cap end overcenter valve simultaneously. The speed will be limited due to the throttling of the flow
as described item 2 when fluid is exhausted from the cylinder. If the cylinder speed increases enough, the pilot
pressure will drop and the pilot will begin to close and the ball will nearly seat resulting in throttling of the
exhaust flow.
3-5.3.2.2 Hydraulic Motor Overcenter Valves. The dual overcenter valve (32), and figure 3-10, primary func-
tion is to start, slow, stop, and hold the slew motor, similar to a brake. The valve is connected to four external
ports, including two supply/return port and two motor inlet/outlet ports. The valve body includes four valve
assemblies including two check valves and two reliefs like valves assemblies. The relief like assemblies can be
pressure actuated or mechanically actuated with a pilot assembly. The supply/return ports act are connected to
the two servo valve outlet ports. The supply/return ports act as either supply ports or return ports depending on
whether the servo valve outlet ports are aligned with the servo valve pressure port (supply) or tank port (return).
When the operator rotates the slew joystick to slew to the right, the servo valve is actuated proportionally, allow-
ing proportional flow to pass from the P port to the supply leg of the motor circuit into the overcenter valve. At
the same time, the servo valve tank port is connected to the motor circuit return leg connected to the overcenter
3-9
SG811-BV-MMA-010
valve. The pressurized fluid in the supply leg passes through the check valve and out the valve the hydraulic
motor causing it to rotate and the crane to slew to the right. Simultaneously, pressurized fluid is directed via an
external pilot line to the pilot valve assembly which causes the relief like valve to shift, opening a flow path from
the motor outlet to the return leg. Pressurized fluid is directed via an external pilot line to the pilot valve assem-
bly which causes the relief like valve to shift, opening a flow path from the motor outlet to the return leg. When
the operator rotates the joystick to slew left, the servo valve now directs fluid to the other leg (previously the
return leg for right slewing) through the check valve and to the motor causing rotation to the left. Simultaneously,
pressurized fluid is directed via an external pilot line to the second pilot valve assembly which causes the sec-
ond relief like valve to shift, opening a flow path from the motor to the return leg (previously the supply leg for
right slewing). When the operator returns the joystick to the centered or neutral (hands-off) position, the servo
valve center and pressurized fluid is no longer passed through the valve to the overcenter valve. This causes the
check to close and the pilot shift back closing the relief valve. This will hold the motor in place hydraulically.
The two relief like valves will open the motor to tank when no pressure is supplied to the valve and motor pres-
sure exceeds the setting of the relief valve adjustable spring. This situation would only occur if an external force
was inadvertently applied to the crane causing excessive opposing torque at the slew brake and hydraulic motor.
The overcenter valve (4) controls flow to the winch motor (1) especially when starting and stopping. The
valve is similar to the dual overcenter valve discussed above, however, it only incorporates a single set of check
and relief like valves. A single overcenter can be used since the winch hydraulic motor is only loaded in one
direction. Note the load on the winch is additionally held by a brake whenever the winch is stopped. Also, the
winch brake will assist slowing/stopping of the load whenever paying out since the one way clutch only engages
the brake when the hydraulic motor causing rotation in the payout direction only.
3-5.3.3 Double Control Valves. The double control valve (3), and figure 3-11, releases and sets the winch brake
whenever fluid is directed via the servo valve (6) (this is only on payout leg of the winch circuit) to the hydrau-
lic motor and brake simultaneously. The other double control valve (2) releases and sets the slew brake whenever
fluid is directed via the servo valve (36) to the hydraulic motor and brake simultaneously.
The double control valves (2 and 3) are used to release and set the brake (60) on the winch (payout only) and
the slew motor. The brake valve is a cartridge type valve assembly. The cartridge assembly fits in a special
machined bore in a valve block. The block includes several ports and passages, figure 3-11 and figure 3-12.
External ports include a pressure (P) port, brake (BR) port and a tank (T) port. The valve connects the brake (BR)
port to the tank (T) port when no pressurized fluid is supplied to the valve and connects the pressure (P) port to
the brake (BR) port when pressurized fluid is supplied to the pressure (P) port. The cartridge incorporates a spool
and spring enclosed in the cartridge valve body. The cartridge valve body is stationary and configured to provide
to align with the three external ports, pressure (P) port, brake (BR) port and a tank (T) port. The threaded plug
end of the valve is visible outside of the valve. The other end of the cartridge valve body aligns with a internal
port which leads to the pressure (P) port. The cartridge spool end is exposed to this port. The pressure (P) inter-
nal passage also leads to the area between the plug end and the largest diameter of the cartridge valve body. The
external brake (BR) port aligns directly with the area between the largest and second largest diameter of the car-
tridge valve body. The external Tank port aligns directly with the area between the second largest and the small-
est (at end) diameter of the cartridge valve body. When no pressure is supplied to the valve, the spring pushes
the spool against the end. The spool is configured with lands which are positioned to connect two ports at a time.
With the spool at the end (spring forced) the brake and tank areas/ports are connected. When pressure is supplied
to the valve at the pressure (P) port, the pressurized fluid presses against the exposed end of the spool at the end
of the cartridge and shifts the valve when the force on the spool end is greater than the spring force. When the
valve shifts, the pressure (P) port is connected to the brake (BR) port. Once shifted, fluid will flow through the
valve to the brake causing the brake to release. When the pressure is reduced to near zero, the spring will force
the spool to the end opening the brake (BR) to tank (T) allowing the pressurized fluid to pass through the spool/
valve back to the sump. The brake will set when the pressure is reduced. The pressurized fluid (P) which passes
through the cartridge valve also passes through a shuttle valve which shifts to allow the pressurized leg of the
3-10
SG811-BV-MMA-010
circuit to provide fluid to the cartridge. The shuttle valve consists of a stationary valve body. The shuttle device
is a ball which is force to block the lower pressure port while opening the inlet pressure port to the outlet pres-
sure (P) port leading to the cartridge valve.
3-5.3.4 One Way Restrictor Valves. The two one way restrictor valves (57) prevent erratic motion of the main
boom cylinder (20) by dampening the pilot stage of the cap end overcenter valve (21). These valves are com-
monly referred to as flow control valves which are configured for free flow in one direction and variable restricted
flow in the other.
3-5.4 Cylinder Assembly (Main and Jib). The main and jib boom cylinders (figure 3-13) are the hydraulic
actuators which control the motion and position of the main and jib booms respectively. Each cylinder incorpo-
rates overcenter valves (23 and 21) at each end of the cylinder. The cylinders (20 and 22) are basically a cylin-
drical housing, end caps, piston and rod, and associated seals and hardware. The rod projects from one end of the
cylinder identified as the head end. The other end is identified as the cap end. Cylinder motion is caused by port-
ing pressurized fluid to one end of the cylinder and allowing fluid to exit the other end. The speed of the cylin-
der is dependent on the rate of fluid entering or leaving the cylinder and in this case is controlled by the servo
valve. Topping the main boom up requires filling the cap end of the cylinder with pressurized fluid. Topping the
main boom down requires filling the head (rod) end of the cylinder with pressurized fluid. For more information
concerning, the operation of the cylinder, refer to paragraph 3-2.2 Topping Operation.
The cylinder incorporates piston seals, rod seals, and a rod wiper to eliminate external fluid leakage and
internal fluid leakage across the piston. The piston seals act to separate the rod end from the other end. Most of
the seals are O-ring seals, which include a back-up ring. The O-rings are designed to fit into a groove with very
little initial compression. The pressure causes the O-ring to compress and fill one end of the groove sealing the
joint. The back-up ring helps to keep the O-ring from entering into the joint (or extruding). The wiper seals are
specially designed to wipe any dirt from the rod before entering the cylinder bore. Failure of an external seal will
lead to visible leakage. Failure of a piston seal results in internal leakage and can lead to noticeable cylinder
speed decrease.
Another feature of the cylinders is the cushion assemblies. These assemblies slow and stop the cylinders at
the end of travel to avoid shock loading and cylinder damage. The cylinders also incorporate stop tubes, which
provide additional support for the rod when extended a long distance.
3-5.5 Reduction Gear. The reduction gear (figure 3-14) output gear meshes to the slew ring assembly to drive
the revolving turret. The reduction gear is directly connected to the hydraulic motor shaft which provides the
input torque and speed. The reduction gear and hydraulic motor shaft are stopped fully by the slew hydraulic
brake.
3-5.6 Turret Hydraulic Brake. The turret hydraulic brake (figure 3-15) is sealed and operated through spring
action to stop or release the rotation of the boat crane revolving turret by hydraulic pressure. The brake is inter-
locked with the hydraulic motor so its brake will set when the control is in the neutral position and upon loss of
power. The brake is controlled by a pilot-operated hydraulic valve referred to as a double control valve. Removal
of electric power will automatically lock the brake.

3-5.7 Turret Hydraulic Motor. The slew drive components including the hydraulic motor (31), are connected
directly to the slew reduction gear assemblies and slew brakes (60) installed on the turret. The slew gear ring is
installed on the pedestal and engages the drive gear on the output shafts of the slew reduction gears. Rotation of
the output shaft gear against the stationary slew gear ring results in rotation of the turret. The slew hydraulic
motors mount directly to the hydraulic brakes and input of reduction gears.
The turret hydraulic motor (figure 3-16) consists of several pistons with shoes, cylinder barrel, shaft, bear-
ings, hold down assembly, port plate, valve block, cam plate and housing. The motor shaft is driven by the sev-
eral pistons, which are driven hydraulically by the pump via the slew hydraulic circuit. The motor valve block
includes two separate ports that are connected by separate legs of the circuit to the slew servo valve. Pressurized
fluid is ported to one side of the valve block and the other side of the valve block is connected to the return leg
that leads to the sump via the servo valve. A port plate is mounted on the valve block which incorporates two
kidney shaped ports which align with the piston ports in the end of the cylinder barrel. Fluid is forced through
the valve block and one side of the port plate into the cylinders behind the pistons. The piston shoes are forced
against the cam plate which has an angled face. As each piston is forced to extend from its cylinder, it also pushes
against the angled cam face causing the motor and connected shaft to rotate. When the piston reaches maximum
extension, the cylinder of that piston aligns with the end of the kidney shaped port of the port plate. The filled
cylinder now exits the pressurized port, then enters the return port. The piston shoe is forced up the inclined sur-
face of the cam causing the piston to push into the cylinder causes all fluid to exhaust into the return side of the
valve block. The piston is at the bottom of the cylinder bore when the end of the return kidney shaped port is
encountered and the cycle begins over for that piston. The motor speed is controlled by the volume of fluid enter-
ing the hydraulic motor.
3-5.8 Winch Hydraulic Motor. The winch hydraulic motor (1) is a fixed displacement axial piston design which
is directly connected to the winch reducer. The motor shaft is also connect to a one way clutch (47) which
engages or disengages to and from the winch hydraulic brake.
The winch hydraulic motor (figure 3-17) consists of several pistons with shoes, cylinder barrel, shaft, bear-
ings, holddown assembly, port plate, valve block, cam plate, and housing. The motor shaft is driven by the sev-
eral pistons, which are driven hydraulically by the pump via the slew hydraulic circuit. The motor valve block
includes two separate ports that are connected by separate legs of the circuit to the slew servo valve. Pressurized
fluid is ported to one side of the valve block and the other side of the valve block is connected to the return leg
that leads to the sump via the servo valve. A port plate is mounted on the valve block which incorporates two
kidney shaped ports which align with the piston ports in the end of the cylinder barrel. Fluid is forced through
the valve block and one side of the port plate into the cylinders behind the pistons. The piston shoes are forced
against the cam plate which has an angled face. As each piston is forced to extend from its cylinder, it also pushes
against the angled cam face causing the motor and connected shaft to rotate. When the piston reaches maximum
extension, the cylinder of that piston aligns with the end of the kidney shaped port of the port plate. The filled
cylinder now exits the pressurized port, then enters the return port. The piston shoe is forced up the inclined sur-
face of the cam causing the piston to push into the cylinder causes all fluid to exhaust into the return side of the
valve block. The piston is at the bottom of the cylinder bore when the end of the return kidney shaped port is
encountered and the cycle begins over for that piston. The motor speed is controlled by the volume of fluid enter-
ing the hydraulic motor. The amount of flow to the motor is dependant on the servo valve opening which is pro-
portional to the commanded signal via the joystick. The pressure at the pressure gage adjacent to the control panel
will remain at the pressure compensator pressure at 3,000 psi unless full speed is commanded. When the servo
valve is fully open (the joystick at or near full speed ), full pump volume is used and the pressure will be
observed to drop at the pressure gage adjacent to the control panel to a value as low as 500-600 psi (no load) and
proportionally greater pressure when loaded.
3-5.9 Winch Hydraulic Brake. The winch hydraulic brake is mounted between the winch hydraulic motor and
the reducer. The hydraulically operated brake is capable of stopping and holding a dynamic test load greater than
3-26
SG811-BV-MMA-010
150 percent of the rated load (when payed out slowly) and of holding a static test load (200 percent or rated load)
with the wire rope passing through the fairlead sheave. The brake is interlocked with the hydraulic motor so its
brake will set when the control is in the neutral position and upon loss of power. The brake is controlled by a
pilot-operated hydraulic valve referred to as a double control valve. Removal of electric power will automatically
lock the brake.
The winch hydraulic brake (figure 3-18) consists of a brake housing, piston and a series of disc-shaped plates.
The disc-shaped plates include stationary separator plates and rotating friction discs. The separator plates are
connected to the housing with tabs mounted at the outer edge of the plates. The friction discs are mounted to a
shaft with tabs mounted on the inner edge of the discs. The separator and friction discs will not rotate when
pressed together. This brake discs are forced together by belville springs. The brake is released by pushing (using
pressurized hydraulic fluid) a sealed piston against the springs, reducing the pressure applied to the friction discs.
The brake is set by removing the fluid from the piston, allowing the springs to force the piston against the discs.
The shaft is connected to the motor and reducer shaft by a one way clutch. The one way clutch only engages
in the payout direction. The brake only releases (via the double control valve) when the hydraulic motor is driven
in the payout direction. The one way clutch allows rotation of the motor and reducer shaft when hauling in by
effectively declutching the brake from the shaft.
The winch also incorporates a limit switch assembly which includes an empty drum limit switch and a full
drum limit switch. The geared limit switch assembly is chain driven via a sprocket on a hub on the winch drum
and a small sprocket on the shaft of the geared limit switch assembly. The empty drum limit switch prevents the
operator from paying out too much wire rope. The full drum limit switch prevents the operator from two block-
ing the wire rope thimble into the snubber or passing the tear drop through the pressure roller and fairlead sheave.
The geared limit switch includes an adjustor which is used to set the various limit switches at different settings
when necessary.
3-5.10 Hydraulic Power Cross-Connect System. The hydraulic cross-connect (figure 3-19)permits the hydrau-
lic power unit of the MPC to supply hydraulic power to the boat crane when it has lost normal system hydrau-
lic pressure due to a loss of electrical power or failure of a pump. Likewise, the boat crane is capable of supply-
ing hydraulic power to the MPC. The MPC being powered through the hydraulic cross-connect is capable of
performing all normal crane operations at the rated load with no specified speed.
This interconnection was accomplished by adding quick disconnect couplings, isolation valves, and all
required tubing necessary to allow interconnection to both cranes. In addition, fixed tubing is installed between
the starboard side of the main deck near the MPC and run to the port side of the 01-1/2 deck to the boat crane.
The MPC and boat crane both interface to the ship’s fixed tubing through flexible hoses with quick disconnect
coupling halves.
3-5.10.1 Functional Hydraulic Cross-Connect System Description. The cross-connect system basically consists
of interconnection of three hydraulic circuits including a high pressure circuit, a return circuit, and a motor case
return circuit. The pressure circuit allows the pump output of one unit (supplying crane) to be diverted to the
servo valve block of the other unit (receiving crane), since the primary hydraulic circuits, slew, main cylinder, jib
cylinder and winch in conjunction with the pump are open loop circuits. Open loop circuits draw fluid from a
sump and return it to a sump. When cross connected, the volume of fluid supplied to a circuit comes directly
from the supplying units sump and is replenished via the return circuit. The hydraulic motor case drains do not
end up in the return circuit, however are directly returned to the sump separately. The location of several manual
ball type valves installed within the high pressure, return and motor case circuits allows the diversion of flow
from one unit to another, alignment of the receiving units return circuit with the supplying units sump and rerout-
ing of hydraulic motor flow.
3-27
SG811-BV-MMA-010
When cross connected, the receiving unit is controlled by rotating the joysticks. This requires power be
available to the receiving unit (the circuit breaker for the unit is on (electric motor must remain off)) so the joy-
sticks will control the receiving units servo valves. The pressure observed on the receiving units gauge will be
the setting of the pump compensator of the supplying unit. The pressure observed on the supplying unit will be
zero psi. The relief valve (7 (boat crane) or 26 (MPC)) on the receiving unit will provide protection for overpres-
surization when cross connected. The setting of the relief should be at 3,300 psi for the boat crane and MPC to
allow proper cross-connect operation. It is extremely important to align the return line valves properly since the
entire circuit will be over pressurized or the wrong sump will be filled/over filled.
3-7.1 Electric Motor Starter. The electric motor starter (figure FO-7) receives 440 vac, 60 Hz, 3-phase power
(signal numbers 21, 22, and 23) from the 1S switchboard. When the EMERGENCY and MOTOR OFF switches
on the control panel are not depressed and the MOTOR ON switch is depressed, contactor CO1 is energized. This
causes 440 vac, 60 Hz, 3-phase power to be sent to the electric motor (signals 18, 19, and 20). The electric motor
is mechanically coupled to the hydraulic pump. As the electric motor turns, it drives the hydraulic pump. Trans-
former TR1 is a stepdown transformer used to reduce 440 vac to 115 vac for use in the ECU and control panel.
The output 115 vac is also used to energize the overload tripped aux relay R1, the running contactor CO1,
and the alarm aux relay R2. Each 115 vac output is protected by two in-line 2 ampere (A) fuses.
The electric motor starter also provides contacts for illuminating the MOTOR ON indicator, MOTOR OFF
indicator, BATTLE SHORT indicator, and the THERMAL ALARM indicator on the control panel.
The RELAY ALARM CONTACT 1 and 2 signals are jumpered together in the ECU so that relay R2 is ener-
gized at all times.
The BATTLE SHORT switch, when closed, allows the overload tripped aux relay R1 to be bypassed. The
switch also illuminates the BATTLE SHORT indicator on the control panel.
The RELAY switch on the front of the electric motor starter is connected to the overload relay OL1 and is
used to reset the relay when tripped.

3-7.2 Control Panel. The control panel contains all the operator controls and indicators used to operate the
crane and show its operational status. The control panel (figure FO-8) receives the 6 vac LAMP SUPPLY DAY
signal and the 3 vac LAMP SUPPLY NIGHT signal from the ECU. The NIGHT/DAY switch is used to select
either source as the supply voltage to the panel indicator lamps. The 115 vac MOTOR OFF, MOTOR ON and
POWER ON/OFF control signals from the electric motor starter are routed through the MOTOR ON, EMER-
GENCY, and MOTOR OFF switches and back to the electric motor starter. The +24V and 0V signals are sup-
plied to the control panel but are not used.
3-7.3 Control Joytick. The four control joysticks (figure 3-4) receive +24 vdc from the electronic control unit
and, in turn, provide control signals to the servo valves. The signals for controlling the main and jib boom servo
valves are sent directly to the valves. The signals for the winch and slew are sent via the electronic control unit.
3-7.4 Electric Motor. The electric motor receives 440 vac, 60 Hz, 3-phase power from the electric motor starter.
The motor is a 440 vac induction type motor, rated at 15 horsepower. Its main components include the stator,
rotor, motor housing, and rotor shaft bearings. Rotor shaft bearings are secured at opposite ends of the motor
housing. The bearings support the rotor against large radial forces created on startup. At operating speed, the well
balanced rotor spins freely within opposing magnetic fields.
The high efficiency ac motor is a 3-phase, squirrel cage, induction type motor. The motor has a primary
winding (stator) that is connected to the power source, and a secondary winding (rotor) that has no electrical
connection to the power source. Current flow in the primary winding sets up a rotating magnetic field that induces
voltage and current in the secondary winding. This provides the mechanical force that turns the rotor. The motor
operates at a single speed. The rotor shaft of the motor is coupled to the hydraulic pump shaft. Rotation of the
motors rotor shaft drives the hydraulic pump rotor shaft at a constant speed of 1,800 (rpm).
3-7.5 Electronic Control Unit. The electronic control unit (figure FO-9) provides +24 vdc to the control joy-
sticks, servo valves, and relief valve. The electronic control unit consists of a dirty box (electromagnetic inter-
ference (EMI) filters), power supply section a control board CST 103 and a supply board CST 102. The power
supply section consists of transformers TO47 and TO48; power transistors Q1 and Q2; power resistors R1, R2,
R3, and R4; capacitor C1; and diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4. The following paragraphs provide a detailed descrip-
tion of the major components.
3-7.5.1 Dirty Box (EMI Filters). The dirty box (EMI filters) (figure 3-20) signals are filtered and protected by
low pass filters. These filters consists of one shunt capacitor, one shunt zener diode, and two inductors in series.
The filter series is designed for high impedance valves with predominant reactive losses at high frequencies.
There are fifteen of these groups mounted on a printed circuit board in the ECU. To further reduce EMI trans-
missions connections between the ECU, electric motor starter, and junction box ferret connetors as shown in
figure 3-21.
3-7.5.2 Control Board. The control board (figure FO-10) is a printed circuit board that consists of a relay sec-
tion, a logic unit, and an analog unit. The relay section provides nine relays for signal control. Relays RL1 and
RL2 are used to allow/inhibit the operation of the winch, depending on the winch drum full/empty limit switches.
Relays RL5 and RL6 are used to allow/inhibit rotation of the crane in either the clockwise or counterclockwise
direction, depending on the rotation limit switches.
When the MOTOR ON pushbutton on the control panel is depressed, the LAMP MOTOR ON signal is input
to the opto-isolator U6. This signal is used to drive a comparator circuit U8A. The output of U8A is input to a
resistance/capacitance filter U8B and also to the relay driver circuit U8C and U8D. The relay driver circuit out-
puts a 2.4 microsecond signal to energize relay RL9 and operate the relief valve during initial motor startup.
3-36
SG811-BV-MMA-010
3-7.5.3 Supply Board CST 102. The supply board (figure FO-11) receives 32 vac, 18 vac, 6 vac, and 3 vac
from transformer TO48. The 3 vac and 6 vac lines are isolated through fuses F1 and F2 and sent to the control
panel via the control board CST 103. The 18V1 and 18V2 lines are not used in the boat crane. The 32 vac line
is used to develop the +24 vdc for use in the servo valves, control panel and control board CST 103. The sup-
ply board is also connected to ECU transistors Q1 and Q2. These transistors provide the current source required
for the circuits in the boat crane.
3-7.6 Slew Limit Relay Box. (MHC 52, 55, 58, 59). The slew limit relay box (see figure 3-22 and figure FO-6)
provides two relays. When the slew limit proximity switch arrives at either the clockwie or counterclockwise
proximity sensing plates, relay #1 (cw) or relay #2 (ccw) energize and open solenoid circuitry of servo valve #36.
It causes the crane to stop slewing.

CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
SECTION I
ADJUSTMENTS AND CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
6-1. INTRODUCTION.
This chapter provides organizational, intermediate, and depot level corrective maintenance procedures for the
boat crane. Detailed instructions, with illustrations referenced, describe and show how to perform the required
maintenance.
WARNING
6-2. ADJUSTMENTS/CALIBRATION.
Maintenance procedures are presented in two sections. Section I provides necessary adjustment and calibra-
tion procedures. Section II provides the procedures necessary to remove, disassemble, repair, replace, reassemble,
and reinstall the boat crane components.
The adjustment and calibration procedures are provided in paragraph 6-2.1 through 6-2.6 and consist of the
following:
f. Gauge Calibration.
6-2.1 Servo Valve Null (Mechanical) Adjustment. This adjustment may be necessary for the winch, main boom,
jib boom, and slew servo valves. It should be accomplished when the speeds of any of these assemblies are faster
in one direction than the other direction (speed balance). The speed difference may be effected somewhat by load.
If the slew or winch servo valve are out of adjustment significantly, the brake may release somewhat allowing
movement of the winch or turret.
6-1
SG811-BV-MMA-010
CAUTION
a. Ensure no load is on the crane and movement of the crane will avoid all obstacles and ships structure.
b. Remove the slotted screw on the cap of the servo valve which requires adjustment.
c. Using an allen wrench, adjust the set screw approximately 1/8 to 1/4 turn clockwise.
d. Test operate the crane to verify direction of adjustment provides speed balance or note increase in speed dif-
ference (i.e. compare right rotation speed to left rotation speed of turret).
e. Continue servo valve null set screw adjustment if required. If the speed difference (difference between both
directions) has increased, adjust 1/8 to 1/4 turns in the counterclockwise direction. If test indicates a decrease
in speed difference, adjust in clockwise direction.
f. Repeat step d. if adjustment was made per step e.
g. If the speeds appear to be balanced (very little visible difference in speed) install the slotted screw in the cap
of the servo valve.
6-2.2 Pump Compensator Adjustment. This adjustment may be necessary due to repair or symptoms indicating
it is not adjusted properly such as the pressure gauge showing pressure less than or greater than 3,000 psi. Dur-
ing startup, the relief valve solenoid is energized for approximately 3 seconds, causing the pump compensator to
pump full volume to the sump via the relief valve at minimum pressure (near zero psi).
To set the pump compensator to 3,000 psi, it must be set in conjunction with the relief valve as described in
paragraph 6-2.3.
6-2.3 Relief Valve (Solenoid-Controlled) Adjustment. This adjustment may be necessary due to repair or symp-
toms indicating it is not adjusted properly such as excessive heat is noted at the valve body. Additionally, this
valve will need to be set once installed in the system if installed new. A flow noise may also be noted indicat-
ing the valve is relieving. It is normal for flow (full pump volume) to pass through this valve on startup of the
electric motor. During startup, the solenoid is energized for approximately 3 seconds, causing the pump flow to
be directed to sump at minimum pressure (near zero psi) This valve should not open during normal operation.
This valve should only be set by qualified hydraulic technicians since system damage may result if valve mal-
functions or procedure is not fully followed or understood.
a. Depress the motor ON pushbutton and allow the system to operate until hydraulic fluid temperature reaches
100-110 degrees F.
b. Remove the cover to the main pump.
c. Set main system relief valve pressure.
1. Deenergize the main pump.
2. Loosen the pressure compensator jamnut and turn adjustment screw counterclockwise 2 full turns. (See
figure 3-1.)
3. Loosen main system relief valve jamnut and turn adjustment screw clockwise 1 full turn. (See figure 3-2.)
6-2
SG811-BV-MMA-010
CAUTION
Do not allow the system to run for more then 15 seconds before adjusting
the pressure compensator back temporarily to 3,000 psi. Operation of the

INSTALLATION
8-1. INTRODUCTION.
This chapter provides instructions for installation of the boat crane onboard the MHC 51 class ships.
WARNING
Ensure the mobile crane being used to move the boat crane is adequate for
the weight of the boat crane as injury or death to personnel could occur.
NOTE
The lifting points of the boat crane are marked with label plates.
a. Using a mobile crane (refer to table 8-1) attach four chains with lifting hooks to the four lifting points on the
boat crane (refer to figure 8-2).
b. Lift the boat crane onto the ship and position over deck/stanchion foundation.
c. Lower the boat crane onto mounting holes, ensuring proper alinement between pedestal and deck/stanchion
foundation holes.
d. Install (refer to figure 8-1) bolts (1), lockwasher (2) and self locking nuts (3), in the corner holes of the ped-
estal through the holes in the main deck.
e. Verify dimensions of the sixteen remaining holes, before installing remaining bolts, lockwashers and self
locking nuts.
f. Torque all twenty bolts (82, figure FO-12 or figure FO-13) and self locking nuts (84). Torque to values in table
6-1.
