1. General Information.
1.1. General Information.
The Ned-Deck Marine “SCT 14/21/5-5.0/5.5 LRS luffing jib combined marine crane is
designed for long time operation and stowing in a tough and corrosive marine
environment. The crane system is designed to handle loads up to 21 kN accurately at
a maximum working radius of 5.5 meters.
The jib consists of a hydraulic operated main luffing jib. Operation for provision
handling is possible under normal power supply conditions. Rescue operations can
be performed during “dead ship” conditions as well as normal conditions.
The crane is delivered complete, fully tested, adjusted and ready for installation. For
this installation, a substructure (foundation) must be welded to deck by the yard. The
crane is supplied as a complete self contained unit.
The crane equipped with a NDM life saving winch, type 04-03, with electric hoisting
and gravity lowering. This system makes the crane fast and easy to operate under
emergency situations. This is a important factor for life saving appliances.
Operation of the crane is located on the right hand side of the rotating part of the
crane. All equipment installed on the crane is chosen to ensure the lowest emission
of sound. The equipment is installed as such, that the access for servicing and repair
is most optimal.

Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
1.3. Construction.
The crane pedestal forms the structural base of the crane and has to be welded on
the deck .
The tower construction forms the main structure of the crane, this section is mounted
on the pedestal. The operating controls, power pack and starter box are mounted on
the tower by means of brackets.
The slew drive housing, also mounted on the tower, is installed on a high quality
slewing ring. A failsafe hydraulic operated brake system is installed to ensure
accurate slewing of the crane with full load and at maximum trim / list conditions.
The crane jib consists of hydraulic operated cylinders and a fixed arm. All the jib arm
elements are built from plate metal elements, steel profiles and hollow sections.
The fixed arm is connected to the main structure by means of maintenance free
bearings. A double wire sheave bracket is installed on the end of the main luffing jib.
The luffing motion of the fixed arm operated by a double acting hydraulic cylinder.
The cylinder used in our system is of a high quality marine type with stainless steel
material, hard chrome cylinder rods and maintenance free bearings. The used
balance valves on the cylinder are leakage free to avoid sinking of the cylinder in any
fixed position.
Ned-Deck Marine 5
Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
The hydraulic winch consists of a steel drum, flanged on a planetary gearbox, driven
by a fixed displacement hydraulic motor.
The motor is equipped with a failsafe multi disc brake. The brakes are designed as
such, that they can take the full load and any additional dynamic forces acting on the
winch. If a failure with the winch occurs, the brake system will block the load
immediately.
A counter balance valve is installed in the winch loop to ensure smooth and accurate
winch operation independent of the load. Also a limit switch for the highest and the
lowest position is mounted on the winch.
The life saving winch is equipped with a gravity lowering system for “dead ship”
lowering of the rescue boat / life raft. The life saving winch is also equipped with a
centrifugal brake to control the lowering speed during descend. Operation of the
gravity lowering system is possible from deck as well as from within the rescue boat /
life raft. Operation from within the boat / raft is done by using the remote control grip
on the crane marked with a downwards pointing arrow.
The crane operating capabilities are under normal electric power supply conditions.
- Make sure that for stores purposes the rescue hook is disconnected from the
boat / raft.
- Start the crane by starting up the integrated hydraulic / electric power unit.
- Operate the crane from the operators platform.
- Handling of the provisions can be done in all positions from Rmax to Rmin, in
360º unlimited slewing sector.

- For slewing the crane in- or outboard, operate the left lever on the Hydraulic /
electric control unit by pushing the lever forward or pulling it backwards.
- When luffing the crane up or down, we operate the lever in the middle. Again,
by pushing the lever forward or pulling it backward the crane will go to a more
upright position or a more flat position.
- For hoisting and lowering the load, we must operate the winch. This can be
done by means of operating the lever on the far right. When pushing the lever
forward or pulling it backwards, the load will be lowered down or hoisted up.

The life saving system is designed as such, that all necessary functions for hoisting
and lowering of the craft are fulfilled.
The system corresponds to the enclosed arrangement drawing, located in the
accompanying drawings.
The SCT 14/14/5-5.5/6.0 LRS type davit system is suitable for launching a boat
including the full complement of persons from the embarkation position to fully
outboard. After reaching this position the boat can be lowered by gravity to the
waterline. The survival raft is slewed from the stowed position to the embarkation
position by means of hydraulic stored power operation. After reaching the
embarkation position the crew can be boarded and the craft can be lowered to the
waterline by gravity. The lowering procedure can be controlled from either the winch
position, or from within the craft.
Recovery of the craft is controlled from the push button box on the crane. By pushing
the “hoisting” button the boat can be lifted to the highest position. By reaching this
position, the electric hoisting motor is switched off, due to the limit switch on the
winch.
Any remaining hoisting distance, for stowing purposes, should be overcome by
hoisting with the hand crank.
For bringing the craft of the inboard position, the davit has to be slewed by means of
the hydraulic slewing function on the operators platform.
For the reasons of safety, the design of the button is such that an immediate braking
power is available as soon as actuation of the button is discontinued, “dead-man”-
type controls are being applied.
To assure a minimum of maintenance all shafts are of stainless steel material. The
sheaves include life time lubricated bushes. This way further greasing is reduced to a
minimum.
To assure a safe and well-executed launching for each davit system, an instruction
plate has been installed. This instruction plate, showing the exact sequence of the
launching procedure, is placed near the embarkation position. By following the
instructions one by one, safe launching is guaranteed. For your information, the
complete procedures for a safe launching and recovery will be reviewed in the next
paragraph.

- Start engine of survival craft, following the instructions of the boat builder.
- Release the boathook when waterborne.
- The recovery of any rescue boat is only allowed with a maximum of 6 persons
in the boat.
- Make sure the wire rope falls contain slack and fasten the suspension in the
boat hook.
- Start hoisting from the control stand.
- When reaching the highest hoisting position, electric driven hoisting is
automatically stopped by the limit switch on the winch.
- Check whether the hoisting wire has been spooled up as appropriate.
- Slew the boat to the inboard position by using the operators handle.

Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
- Place the boat on the boat chocks. (Some additional cranking with the co-
delivered hand crank might be necessary).
- Replace the gripe gear and tighten up as much as possible.
- For preparing the craft for stowing, follow the instructions as given in the
manual of the survival craft.
- Replace all protection covers (if present).
- De-load the wire rope to a hand taut extend by lifting the brake lever for a
short moment.
- Always keep main switch “on” (anti condensation heating), only “off” during
service.
Ned-Deck Marine 13
Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
For activating the lowering procedure from within the survival craft, a remote control
system has been foreseen. The lowering system has a control lever that can be
activated by the boat handling crew form inside the craft.
For reasons of personal safety never attempt to wrap the control line around fingers
or hands, for any obstruction on the outside could lead to serious injuries.
When not actually in use, the craft should be reliable stowed for sea trail. The way in
which the gripe lines have to be applied, as well as further details, follow from the
accompanying arrangement plan and the specific drawing of the griping gear itself.
By applying the griping gear, the survival craft is secured in a seaworthy position.
To prepare the appliance for craft launching, the boat has to be set ready first by
slipping the gripe lines, i.e. by releasing the slip hook / turnbuckle incorporated in
them.
The winch 04-03 is equipped with an additional Electric Motor, Limit Switch and a
Switchboard.

Maintenance group one describes the maintenance for keeping the system in
operating condition between the regulated one year service.
This maintenance group requires:
- Davits.
- Winches.
- Wire Ropes.
- Oil Level Check.
- Brake Gear.
3.1.1.1. Davits.
For servicing the davits, no special maintenance is needed on the turning parts.
Only the grease points have to be lubricated.
3.1.1.2. Winch.
In this period, first inspection must be executed. We must subject the system to a
visual inspection and small maintenance. If the system requires severe action of
maintenance. Please refer to the second period of maintenance (30 moths after
installation or 5 year examination) for system service.
Ned-Deck Marine 17
Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
- Oil change.
- Visual inspection of the Gear Wheels and the Gear Wheel alignment and
winch interior.
o With this inspection, we must confirm that the system has not been
subjected to excessive wear, oxidation and dirt. Oxidation and dirt
should be removed wherever possible. When excessive wear or
damage is established contact with the manufacturer is required.
o During these inspections we can also check the winch interior for
metallic residue or loosened parts (most likely bolts and screws) which
can endanger a safe operation of the winch. Metallic residue and
loosened parts must be removed from the winch interior at an time.
- If the system is equipped with a Quick Return device, inspection of the chain
and chain tensioning system must be executed.
o When inspecting the chain, we must see that the chain clearance is
suitable for correct working of the system. Therefore we have
established an average clearance of 2 cm.
o The spring used to tension the system must be checked. The spring
must deliver enough force to tension the chain properly.
o Extension of the wire rope can cause a possible dysfunction of the limit
switch. This could cause problems while stalling a rescue boat. The
result could be that the boat touches the boat foundation. If this is the
case, the limit switch must be adjusted until it reaches the correct
height.
o Another problem which could occur, is that the cable end damages the
davit head. This is caused due to malfunction or incorrect programming
of the limit switch. We must reprogram the limit switch to the right
height. If the limit switch is broken, we must replace the part.

Service Set A:
- 1x Limit switch.
- 1x Lifting Wire (on Request).
- Place two clamps approx. 100-200 mm apart from each other. By contra-
rotating these clamps, the wire rope will un-lay. Please be careful not to
permanently deform the wire rope strands.
- Because of the great difficulty to examine the total length of the wire, suitable
areas for examining of the wire rope must be selected. Suitable areas are:
o Areas which are exposed to the environment for a long period of time.
- Wire ropes must be kept greased. The grease should be slightly heated before
applying to the ropes.
Ned-Deck Marine 19
Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
As explained earlier, brake gear should be checked regularly. The reason we do so,
is because of wear on the brake lining and the counterpart surfaces. Due to this
wear, the Brake Lever Shaft drops to a certain point (approx. 15 deg. Max.) below the
horizontal position. This influences the proper working of the system. To prevent this
from happening, adjustment of the Brake Lever is needed. Proceed as follows:

For maintaining the hydraulic system, periodical checks must be executed. In order
to check the system the next steps must be followed.
• Function check of the accumulator. With this check we will verify the function
of the manometer, gas pre-fill pressure and the function of the E-motor and
the electric switch.
o The level of the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic tank should be checked
every three months. For this check, the accumulator must be drained
first (which has happened in the previous step). We can drain the
accumulator by using the control valve or by slewing the crane into
launching position (function check).
Rotate lever 90
degrees for
discharging the
Accumulators
Note: Rotate lever slowly. To quick discharging will damage the blather inside the
accumulator.
o While conducting these checks, we will notice that the E–motor will
start. This indicates that the electric switch and the E-motor are
functioning properly. The functioning of these components can be
easily checked this way.

Be aware that the accumulator must be drained before filling up the oil tank, In the
accumulator is a stored volume of oil that fills up the hydraulic tank during
discharging. When this is done after filling up the tank the tank will overflow. While
changing the oil, make sure no dirt will enter the system. This will assure faultless
operation of the equipment.
24 Ned-Deck Marine
Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
This fourth period contains inspection and service to the system, there is one
exception. According to the Solas regulations, a renewal of the wire ropes of the
system and a dynamic load test is required. Therefore we must subject the system to
a severe maintenance.
3.3.1. Winch.
- We must execute a change of the centrifugal brake system together with the
hold brake (complete brake system). Although the brake lining may still
maintain the correct amount of brake material on them, we must replace them
due to deterioration of the brake material.
- Oil change.
- Visual inspection of the Gear Wheels and the Gear Wheel alignment and
winch interior.
o With this inspection, we must confirm that the system has not been
subjected to excessive wear, oxidation and dirt. Oxidation and dirt
should be removed wherever possible. When excessive wear or

When reinstalling old or installing new wire ropes, special care must be taken with
the turning position (for example unwinding = clockwise) of the drum. It is also
necessary to check that the wire ropes are winded
correctly on the drum. This means that the
windings are not on top of each other but tightly
aligned against each other. This prevents
accidents while unwinding the rope from the drum.
When a new rope is fitted, a variation in size
according to the old worn rope will be apparent.
The new rope may not fit correctly in the previously
worn groove profile, unnecessary wear and rope
distortion is likely to occur. A well suited solution is
to machine the old grooves before fitting new rope.
Before fitting the new rope, make sure the rope
doesn’t contain any kinks. Place the rope in a
suitable stand which allows it to rotate and brake to
avoid overrun during installation.
26 Ned-Deck Marine
Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
Roll the rope out straight ensuring that it does not get contaminated with dirt, moist
etc. Connect the rope to the winch by using the winch key socket mounted on the
drum. We must see to it that a minimum 3 cm of the dead end is coming out the open
end of the winch key socket.
When the wire rope is in place we can install the required length on to the drum. The
best way of doing so, is to make use of an electric motor to rotate the drum. When
activating the motor, please be sure that the wire rope is tightened and pre-tensioned
so the wire will be properly aligned against each other. Keep an eye on the correct
way of winding the wire rope, so problems will not occur during normal operation.

All running wire ropes are to be visually inspected at each annual and retesting
survey. The crane owner and / or operator is to examine the wire ropes, including
end connectors, at frequent intervals between surveys. The wire rope is not to be
used when:
- Absence of corrosion.
- Suitable lubrication of the gear.
- Condition of the attachments and foundations.
- Check the locking devices.
- Check the connection of the end flanges with the drum on corrosion and
possible cracks.
- Check the condition of the rope fastening.
- Check that three safety turns remain on the drum during stowing.
- Check the wear condition of the brake lining.
Ned-Deck Marine 29
Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
At four year intervals, in addition of the annual 12 month survey, the crane is to
undergo testing and examination as noted:
Examination:
o Goosenecks.
o Jib heel pins.
o Span trunnions.
o Joints of rigid stays.
Original proof load test is to be carried out using movable known weights. Booms
shall be tested at minimum, maximum and intermediate radii. Radii are to be stated
on the “Certificate of Test” together with the proof loads used. The load shall be lifted
and held for at least five minutes. Proof load tests shall include:
Current for electric winch operation during the test is to be taken from the vessels
power supply. Shore power may be used when supplied through the main
switchboard.
30 Ned-Deck Marine
Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
During the manoeuvring test, special attention is to be paid to good operation of the
locking and braking devices.
Current for electric winch operation during the test is to be taken from the vessels
power supply. Shore power may be used when supplied through the main
switchboard.
After testing (overload and manoeuvrability) each crane together with all critical
accessories is to be examined to see whether any part is damaged or permanently
deformed by the test. The following should be examined:
- Foundation.
- Sheaves and rope guides.
- Wire ropes including end connectors.
- Hoist machinery, brakes and clutches.
- Hooks.
- Slewing assembly and bolting arrangements.
The examination must verify that the components of the lifting appliance and it’s
supporting structure have not been damaged or permanently deformed during
testing, and that no defect likely to impede reliability of the lifting appliance is present.
In general all elements which are excessively deformed, cracked, worn or corroded
must be repaired.
Please keep in mind that when replacements or repairs concern load carrying
elements of a structure or an accessory for which an individual test is not required,
re-testing of the lifting appliance is needed. If the lifting appliance has been
dismantled and re-assembled, re-testing is also needed.

The limit switch has been pre-adjusted in our workshop. If this is not the case and the
limit switch keeps cutting out at an earlier stage, the limit switch must be re-adjusted.
To do so, this procedure is to be examined and executed.
1. Remove the cover of the limit switch. The interior shows three plastic adjusting
screws. One black and two white. Fig. 5.-1.
2. Rotating screw S1 counter clockwise (CCW) will increase the height between
hook and davit head. Rotating this screw in clockwise (CW) direction, will
decrease the height between hook and davit head.
Note: Adjusting the screws of the limit switch must be done with great accuracy and care. For
example, turning the screw 5 degrees (CCW or CW) will give a change in height of approx
100mm.
3. When the screw S1 has been adjusted, the hook must be dropped approx. 5
meters. Then, hoist the boat back up again and check if the height between
hook and crane is sufficient.
Note: When the desired height has not been reached, repeat steps 1 to 3 until this height is reached.
The correct height between boat and davit head should be approx. 100 – 200mm.
4. For safety and not unwinding the wire rope on the drum there is also a limit
switch for unwinding. Rotating screw S2 counter clockwise (CCW) will
increase the length of the wire rope on the drum. Rotating this screw in
clockwise (CW) direction, will decrease the length of the wire rope on the
drum.
Note: Adjusting the screws of the limit switch must be done with great accuracy and care. For
example, turning the screw 5 degrees (CCW or CW) will give a change in length on drum of
approx 100mm.
5. When the screw S2 has been adjusted, the hook must be dropped approx. 5
meters. Then, hoist the hook back up again and check if the length on drum is
3 windings.
Note: When the desired length has not been reached, repeat step 4 and 5 until this length is
reached. The correct length of the wire rope on the drum must be 3 safety windings.
When the correct height has been reached, the limit switch cover must be replaced.

6. Recommended lubricants.
In the “Accompanying information sheets”, there is an oil list present which shows a
selection of usable oil types by different manufacturers.
The oil used in the winch is to reduce friction, reduce wear during use, decrease the
internal temperature in the winch during use and to preserve the winch from
corrosion.
The Kinematic viscosity of the preferred oil is calculated by the Ned-Deck Marine BV
technical department and is overlooked by an external organization specialized in
lubrication and lubricants. The outcome, which will validate the ISO VG type oil, is as
follows:
The oil which should be used is a Synthetic Ester or Semi-Synthetic CLP type oil
classified under the DIN 51517 part 3 norm. polyglycol oil types should not be used!
Ned-Deck Marine 35
Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
To determine the preferred hydraulic oil, there are certain factors which should be
kept in mind. For example the area where the vessel(s) are operational can be
decisive towards the oil to be used. (As shown below).
Also the applicable DIN 51524 certification code must be looked at. The mineral oil of
the HLP type is classified under DIN 51524 part 2 and part 3. which describes High
Performance Oils (HL-Oil + EP additives).
Also a number of situations according to the viscosity must be looked at. These
situations exists of:
The requirements which are applicable to the preferred hydraulic oil is as follows:
Ned-Deck Marine BV suggests to use the oil specifications as described in the above
mentioned “Area” section. For example, the Netherlands are specified under the
North Sea Area. This means, an oil type of an ISO VG HM 22 classification is
preferred.
When there is doubt, we suggest to contact your oil supplier who can help you to
determine the best suited oil type for your vessels application and operating area.
The oil used in the winch is to reduce friction, reduce wear during use, decrease the
internal temperature in the winch during use and to preserve the winch from

Starting
Be sure that the various plugs are in the proper position, breather plug on the top,
emptying plug (magnetic) on the bottom, level plugs in the middle position for
horizontal gears, and in the upper position on the vertically mounted gears. Roughly
horizontal gears must be half filled while those vertical must be completely filled. The
oil level must be checked when the gear is not running.
For gearboxes with oil circulation system, check carefully the proper connection of all
pipes, with gear, pump and filter. Be sure of the proper setting of the relief valve.
Start the winch slowly, without load. Should you hear heavy noise or realise that
there are heavy vibrations, stop everything to see what’s happening, and so do even
the temperature on the gear case exceeds 80˚ C.
Lubrication
For choosing the right oil please reed the oil sheet in the accompanying information
sheet.
The first oil change should be made after running up time i.e. 50-100 working hours.
The same oil could be even used again, provided that it is very carefully filtered, (use
filter 10u. max) because it certainly contains small iron particles.
Before filling up the gear case again, was it with mineral oil. Other oil changes should
be made every 2500 working hours, and at least once a year.
Oil changes
During oil change, we recommend hat the inside of the gearcase is flushed out with
flushing fluid recommended by the lubricant manufacturer. Oil should be changed
when hot to prevent build up of sludge deposit. It is advisable to check oil level at
least once a month. If more than 10% of oil capacity has to be added, check for oil
leaks Do not mix oils of different types even of the same make. Never mix mineral
and synthetic oils. Pay attention to oil and gear temperature during oil change, to
avoid the risk of scalding. Be conscious of the pollution hazard due to the oil.
After the hydraulic system has been filled, the following procedure has to be followed
before using the SCT system:
1. Start up the electric motor. Switch the motor off again after 2-3 seconds and wait
for 10 seconds. Repeat this cycle at least three times. (This is to get the air out of
the system).
2. Fully fold and unfold the cylinders several times. Again this is to release the air
out of the hydraulic system.
3. Turn the davit to the inboard position and attach an additional rope to the main
wire. The rope that has been attached should reach the water or shore.
4. Lower the main wire and guide it bow by using this additional rope.

Operations and Maintenance Manual SCT 14/21/5-5.5/6.0 LRS
5. When the main wire has reached the water or shore, the additional rope is to be
removed and a test weight of approximately 200 kg (2000 N) shall be attached to
the main wire.
6. Start hoisting to approx. 3 metes and lowering again to base level. Repeat this
hoisting and lowering several times to release the air in the hydraulic system.
7. Emergency control. Due to the fact that the drain pipe and hydraulic motor
casing must be fully vented, the following procedure should be followed:
- Lift the test-load approximately 1 to 1.5 metres above the water / shore line.
- Lift the load higher (approx. 3 metres) and perform another "emergency
lowering". Preferred is, that this action is repeated two times.
As long as the hydro motor produces a “screaming” sound during lowering (caused
by air being pressed out of the system), this means there is still a large amount of air
in the system. If this is the case, the previous cycle must be repeated. As soon as the
sound is normal, the motor casing and leak-off pipe are sufficiently free from air.
All filter elements are placed as shown in below picture mounted on the tower.
