WARNING!
This spreader is equipped with a control system.
The plugs connecting the spreader electrical system to the control box(es)
must ALWAYS be disconnected before any welding is performed on the
spreader, or the machine that the spreader is mounted on. Some spreaders
have multiple control boxes.
The plugs are removed from the controllers by pressing the locking
mechanisms at the side of the plug and removing the plug completely from
the controller. All plugs need to be disconnected.
After finishing the welding operation, the plugs should be reconnected in the
reverse order.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PAGE NO.
(ALL ELME SPREADERS) A 100-097-1
This standard page with safety instructions shows all danger zones on a spreader
(regardless model) where there are pinching and crushing risks.
When working on the spreader, there are various dangerous situations that must be
avoided.
There is a PINCHING and CRUSHING risk at the following points on the spreader:
* Between a flipper and the end beam of the spreader (see figure 2b).
* Between ”T”-beams and main frame of the spreader (see figure 4).
Some spreaders are equipped with 3 emergency stop buttons (see figure 1). The
emergency stop buttons are a yellow box with a red stop button in the middle. By
pressing the red button, all spreader functions will be stopped. When the spreader is
restarted, it will be necessary to restart any function that was activated at the time of
the emergency.

The ELME Model 817 Container spreader is a technically advanced piece of equipment
which, if it is carefully used and maintained, will serve its purpose for many years.
Initial check.
Each work shift should be started by making a visual check of the unit (this must be part
of the daily routine). Possible damage will in this way be discovered at an early stage,
thus enabling repairs to be carried out at a much lower cost.
NEVER USE THE UNIT UNLESS ALL SAFETY DEVICES FUNCTION CORRECTLY!!!
CONTAINER HANDLING
NOTE! It is important to remember that loads should only be lifted at the specified
lengths for which the spreader is designed, i.e. 20ft. 30ft. 35ft. 40ft and in some cases
45ft. Where stops are fitted, these should be used to position the beams accurately
at one of the above mentioned positions. If the spreader is not equipped with stops,
the spreader may only be used for lifting 20ft. and 40ft. containers. Lifting outside
the specified positions may result in serious damage to the spreader.
When the required length has been reached, lift the spreader high enough to give good
visibility under it. This serves two purposes; 1) it gives good visibility for travelling and
2) it positions the spreader ready for picking up the first container. The spreader should
now be side shifted to the center position and the reach function operated to the fully
retracted position. This will be termed ”THE BASIC POSITION” in the rest of the
instruction.
2. Picking up a container.
If necessary, raise the spreader in order to have plenty of space between it and the
container. Always attempt to position the spreader centrally over the container.
The final adjustments for lining up the twistlocks with the corner castings of the
container can now be made.
By using the controls for shift and reach, position the spreader accurately over the
corner castings and then lower the spreader into them. If any of the twistlocks do not fit
into the corner castings properly, CAREFULLY lift the spreader just free of the contai-
ner, readjust its position and the try again. NEVER PUSH OR SIDE SHIFT while any of
the twistlocks are still engaged in the corner castings of the container. When all twist-
locks are correctly engaged in the corner castings, the spreader should be lowered until
it rests unsupported on the container. This is termed as the spreader being correctly
SEATED and this will be indicated by the SEATED LIGHT being switched on. As soon
as this happens, the twistlocks can be activated to the locked position and the LOCKED
LIGHT will be switched on.
CHECK THAT THE ”LOCKED” LIGHT HAS BEEN SWITCHED ON and then lift the
container to the required height for loading and/or travelling. Before moving the
container, return the spreader to the ”BASIC POSITION”. The container is now ready to
be transported to a new location. When travelling, always keep the load at the lowest
possible height and drive carefully.
3. Detaching a container.
When approaching the new location for the container (this could be a chassis or a stack
etc.) lower the container to the required height and adjust the position of the corner cas-
tings, so that they are accurately situated above the corner locks of the chassis. Lower
the container, ensuring that its corner castings locate on the corner locks.
NEVER USE MORE TILT THAN NECESSARY AND NEVER PUSH !!!
The twistlocks may now be activated to the ”UNLOCKED” position, the spreader lifted
free of the container and the truck backed away.
4. General advice.
- Always adjust the spreader back to the ”BASIC POSITION” after every handling cycle.
- When parking the truck and spreader or when they are not in use for longer periods of
time, always make a habit of lowering the spreader to its lowest position.
- Read all instruction books carefully and be sure that you understand them.
- Should there be anything you do not understand, please contact your local dealer who
will ensure that all your questions are answered.

Instructions on the safe use of the various types of lifting eyes that an
ELME spreader can be equipped with.
A container spreader was initially designed for lifting containers and the calculations
used for the design, take into account a certain amount of uneven distribution of the
loads inside the container. The criteria that is used is, that the center of gravity (the load)
can be offset from both the axial and transvers center-lines by a maximum of 10%. This
fact is also valid when lifting loads from the lifting eyes mounted on the spreaders end
beams. (Lifting eyes mounted underneath the main frame are for lifting mixed cargo.
Lifting eyes mounted on top of the main frame are only for lifting the spreader itself.
Lifting eyes mounted on the endbeams are for lifting damaged containers).
Another limitation when using the lifting eyes mounted on the end beams, is that
the loads may only be lifted at the specified lengths for which the spreader is de-
signed i.e. 20ft, 30ft, B7, 40ft and in some cases 45ft. Where stops are fitted (op-
tional), these must be used to position the beams accurately at one of the above
mentioned positions. If the spreader is not equipped with stops, then the spreader
may only be used for lifting at the 20ft. and 40ft. positions. Lifting outside the spe-
cified positions can result in serious damage to the spreader.
Standard lifting eyes welded to the inside surface of the spreader end beam close to
each twistlock. Various designs of lifting eyes can be fitted, see below.
The main frame can be equipped with 2 lifting eyes centre mounted or 4 lifting eyes
which can be spaced equally on each side of the spreader centre line at various
distances. Various designs of lifting eyes can be fitted, see below.
Fig 4 Fig 5
Common for all lifting eye combinations fitted during the production of the spreader, is
that their collective capacity is the same as the capacity of the spreader. For example,
a spreader with a total lift capacity of 40 metric tons with 4 lifting eyes fitted to the main
frame, can lift 40 metric tons with the load evenly distributed between all four lifting
eyes. Note! 20.000 lifts is the maximum number of lifts for a lifting eyes.
Note! The max. capacity for one open hook (Fig 5) is only 12.5 metric tons.
Therefore in the case of only 2 hooks (of this model) fitted in the center position
on the main frame, the total capacity will only be 25 metric tons.

Ideally, the load should be lifted with the lifting slings vertical between the lifting eyes and
the load (90° to the underside of the spreader). However, the slings can be attached to the
load with a negative angle (less than 90°), but the smaller the angle the lower the load that
can be lifted. The lifting eyes should never be used to lift a load with the lifting slings at a
positive angle (greater than 90° angle to the underside of the spreader). However, if a
damaged container needs to be lifted with slings then this is acceptable.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A100-147
By using ELME genuine parts, you always get parts you can rely on and true peace of mind.
If you are using non-genuine parts, you put weak links into a strong, perfectly designed
chain of interactive components. Please note that non-genuine parts are made by factories
that have not been approved by ELME and often manufactured to be as cheap as possible,
using inferior materials, workmanship and by reversed engineering.
Non-genuine parts are high risk. Real cost and real risk is measured not in the price, but
in the cost of the component in the event of failure. Use of non-genuine parts may lead to
higher downtime and lower productivity due to more frequent failures.
For correct operation of the spreader, only ELME genuine parts and accessories approved
by ELME should be used. If non-genuine parts are used, the warranty is not valid. By using
ELME genuine parts and accessories approved by ELME, you will maintain original
standard. ELME will disclaim all responsibility if parts from third party are used.
INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE
Always inspect your spreader before using it. If any kind of damage is detected – which
may affect the function of the spreader - this must be corrected before use.
If the spreader needs to be repaired, please contact a specialist and see to that only ELME
genuine parts are used if need of replacement. This is to ensure that the spreader still is
reliable. Repairs made by a non-qualified person or use of non-genuine parts may lead to
increased risk of personal injuries or damages.
Service and maintenance are necessary to keep capacity and efficiency of the spreader
for many years.
For the avoidance of doubt, ELME is not liable in case of damage due to factors
beyond ELME’s control or due to a lack of maintenance or the use of non-genuine parts.
The spreader should not be modified without consultation with ELME. If so, this means
that the spreader is not CE approved and thus ELME has no product liability.

9. Warnings to operators:
* All chromed piston rods must be activated to the closed position so that the rods are
stored inside the cylinder where this is possible. If it is not possible to retract the rod
into the cylinder (for example the twistlock cylinders) then the exposed part of the
chromed rod should be sprayed with a rust inhibitor similar to, for example ”Tectyl”.
* All grease points must be pumped full of molybdenum saturated grease.
* Where possible it would be advisable to equip the electric box with a heater (this
could be a small electric bulb for ex. 40 watt which is allowed to burn constantly).
* The spreader should be in 20ft position, and if the spreader is equipped with legs,
these should be in folded position.
recommendations, which shall require replacement of parts like for like using identical
or equivalent parts, and documents the repair.
All repairs shall be carried out by competent persons under competent direction and
supervision and in accordance with relevant national or
international Standards. The repairs shall be appropriately tested.
Upon completion, the competent person’s report and the documentation produced by

Major repairs that consist of more than replacement of a minor part must be performed
and verified by specialist or qualified personnel. If suitably competent personnel are
not available on site, please contact ELME After Sales department for instructions and
help. If suitably competent personnel are available for major repairs, they should detail
how the incident happened or the circumstances leading to discovery of the damage or
defective parts, detail the nature of the damage or defects, including photographs, and
then refer the matter to ELME in order to obtain the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Once those recommendations are received, all major repairs shall be carried out by
competent persons under competent direction and supervision and in accordance with
relevant national or international Standards. The repairs shall be appropriately tested.

The repairs shall be appropriately tested. Upon completion, the competent person’s
report and the documentation produced by the repairer shall be lodged in a records
management system.
All spreader functions are tested and approved at ELME factory before delivery to
customer. When the spreader is mounted on to the lift truck, it is very important to
check and verify that the spreader is working properly. (check signals for e.g. leg
indication, lift interrupt etc.)
If a competent person determines that the spreader has reached the end of its
operational life, it shall be rendered inoperable.
At the end of operational life of the spreader, it is important to follow national directions
and regulations of how to dispose it. The spreader consists of hydraulic oil, electrical
parts and mechanical parts (such as steel and plastic parts). These different materials
have to be sorted and disposed in accordance with national laws and regulations.

To remove the tie-rod proceed as follows:
1 Remove the indicator assy. (item 14) or the Locked / Not locked sensor bracket
(item 1), if it is a spreader with WTP or with overheight legs.
2 Loosen one of the adjuster bolts at the twistlock cylinder, enough to give some play.
3 Loosen and remove the M8 x 80 bolts (item 2) in the top of both twistlocks in the
same end beam.*
4 Use two of the M8 x 80 bolts (item 2) as pullers by inserting them in the two threaded
holes (item 3) in each of the cranks (item 4) and tighten them alternatly until they lift
the cranks (item 4) off the top of the twistlock shaft (item 5).
5 The tie-rod (item 6) including both cranks (item 4) can now be removed from the
end beam.*
6 The key (item 7) that locates the crank (item 4) to the twistlock (item 5) is held in
place on the twistlock by a roll pin so that it will remain in place on the twistlock after
the crank is removed.
7 Support the twistlock (item 5) from below so that it does not drop out.
Using a screwdriver prise the collet (item 8) out of the recess in the twistlock (item
5). It is now possible to lower the twistlock out of the end beam. The sleeve (item 9)
and lower bearing set (item 10) will in most cases accompany the twist lock as it is
removed, this is quite normal.
8 After removal of all twistlock parts remove all grease and dirt from the parts and also
from the corner of the end beam. Steam clean or clean with some form of solvent.
9 Check the twistlock (item 5) for wear at the head and also for wear at the bushing
surfaces. Inspect the lower (item 10) and upper (item 11) bearing sets for wear and
damage, if badly worn or damaged they should be replaced. The collet (item 8) and
and the crank (item 4) should be inspected for possible wear or damage and replaced
if necessary.
It should be noted that the state of the collet (item 8) and the recess in the
twist lock (item 5) is very important as these parts are carrying the load when a
container is lifted.
10 Prepare the sleeve (item 9), place and grease the bushing and fit the four centering
springs in the sides of the sleeve.
11 Grease the upper bearing set (item 11) and place in position on the greased top sur
face of the corner plate (in the endbeam) with the convex half uppermost
(threaded holes up). Grease the lower bearing set (item 10) and place in position on
the greased bottom surface of the corner plate (in the endbeam, the grease will hold
it in place).
12 Lift the sleeve assembly as assembled in point 10 and position up through the corner
plate in the endbeam. Note the direction of the grease nipple! Then place the
twistlock in the sleeve, ensuring that both bearings (item 10 and 11) are positioned
correctly around the twistlock. Support the assembly with a jack or other means.
14 Fit the key (item 7) incl. roll pin to the keyway of the twistlock (item 5)
15 In order to fit the tie-rod (item 6) it is necessary to mount both cranks (item 4) to the
tie-rod before placing it in the end beam.* Fit the ball joints, O-rings, and plastic
washers to the tie-rod ends and then fit the fork of the crank (item 4) over the tie-rod
end. Ensure that the countersunk ends of the securing holes in the crank are upper
most. Secure the crank to the tie-rod end by fitting the pin (item 12) and then the ring
pin and allen screw (item 13).
16 In order to simplify assembly of the crank to the twistlock it is advisable to fit two
alignment pins to the assy. The pins can be made from two M8 x 75 bolts or allen
screws with the heads removed and slightly chamfered.
These pins should be screwed into the top plate of the upper bearing (item 11)
diagonally so that each pin guides one half of the collet (item 8).
17 Insert the tie-rod (item 6) into the end beam and the fit the cranks (item 4) onto the
alignment pins and ensure that the key and keyway line up. Fit two of the allen
securing (item 2) in the remaining two holes and screw in and tighten lightly. Remove
the alignment pins and fit the other two securing screws. The securing screws can
now be tightened to approx. 25 Nm.
18 Activate the twistlocks to the NOT LOCKED position and then adjust the twistlock
cylinder adjuster bolts so that the twistlocks are positioned accurately in the NOT
LOCKED position. Then adjust properly, see ”Twistlock angle adjustment”.
In order to test the operation it is necessary to land the spreader on a container so that the
seated pins are activated.
* for spreaders with WTP (section 3, 5 and 15 above), the removal/fitting of bolts, tie
rods and cranks can be done one by one.

2 Before removing the securing pin pos.1 of the extension cylinder it must be
supported by a small hydraulic jack or likewise so that the cylinder pos. B does
not fall down.
Remove the pin from the rear of the cylinder fig.1 pos. 1 (opposite end to the
piston rod) and at the same time also remove the hose and electrical connec-
tions at the rear of the extension cylinder pos. B. The securing bracket that
secures the cable chain to the track in the bottom of the extension beam should
also be disconnected.
3 By using a crane or fork lift truck pull the end beam pos. A out approx. 50cm so
that it is just possible to get into the inspection hole pos.C in the top of the beam.
4 Remove the pin from the piston rod end of the extension cylinder.
5 The extension cylinder pos. B can now be lifted out of the spreader by sliding it
horizontally with the help of suitable lifting equipment, (by "suitable lifting
equipment" is meant that the crane or truck must be capable of lifting 150kg.)

1. Check that the SEATED PIN can move up and down freely. The force needed to lift the pin
is approx. 10 kg (20 lbs).
2. The SEATED signal should switch on with the pin protruding approx. 9mm below the landing
surface of the end beam.
3. If adjustment of the proximity switch / sensor is necessary, remove the seated sensor
mounting bracket incl. sensor from the top of the seated tower, and adjust the proximity
switch / sensor so that the end surface is 7-8 mm above the lower mounting surface of the
bracket. This adjustment will result in the seated pin indication being switched on when the
underside of the seated pin is approx. 8 to 10 mm lower than the end beams landing
surface. This adjustment also ensures that the mechanical and electrical lockout is released
so that the twistlocks can be turned.

1. Turn the twistlocks (pos1) to the fully UNLOCKED position (as shown).
2. If the twistlock heads do not line up with the twistlock sleeve, they can be adjusted by
loosening the lock nuts (pos 5) for the adjuster bolts (pos 2)
3. Turn the twistlocks at each end of the end beam so that they line up with the sleeves, if it
is found difficult to line up the twistlocks and sleeves accurately distribute the
misalignment equally on both sides of the sleeve. Make sure that the twistlock heads
DO NOT protrude outside the theoretical line between thetwistlocks. If the twistlocks do
protrude outside the previously mentioned line between the twistlocks it can cause
jamming in corner castings as the spreader is lifted off the container.
4. Run both adjuster bolts (pos 2) up to the piston rod (pos 4) ends of the twistlock cylinder
(pos 3) by hand making sure that neither the twistlocks nor the cylinder are moved.
Tighten the lock nut (pos 5a) of the inside adjuster (pos 2a) first.
5. Unscrew / back off the outer adjuster bolt (pos 2b) no more than 2 flats of the hexagan
head (60°) so that there is only just enough play to allow the tie rod (pos 6) to slide back
and forth across the adjuster bolts when the twistlock cylinder (pos 3) is activated.
CAUTION if the gap between the twistlock cylinder rod ends is too large the rod ends will
hammer against the adjusters and subsequent damage will occur to the piston rod ends.
6. Tighten the lock nut (pos 5b) securely while at the same time ensuring that the adjuster
bolt (pos 2b) does not move.
7. Activate the twistlocks to the LOCKED position and check that the twistlock heads are
900+/- 100 to the twistlock sleeve.
The two tables below are showing recommended standard torque values in Nm for
different coatings on hexagon headed screws (strength class SS-ISO 898/1* and

1. Observe the coding on the sensor and connector, and make sure to fit
the sensor accurately into the connector. The arrow indicates the correct
position of the connector coding (see below).
2. Mount the connector by alternately turning the coupling nut and pressing
the connector gently by hand, until it is seated in the sensor and the nut
has passed the first saw teeth locking.
3. Turn the coupling nut to 1.8 Nm. If torque wrench is not available, turn the
coupling nut 200-220 degrees (just over half a turn, see below).
4. Carefully route and fasten the cable. Make sure it is protected from shake
impact and strain.
Arrow
Removal
To remove the connector, press it against the sensor and loosen the
coupling nut.
1 All chromed piston rods must be activated to the closed position so that the
rods are stored inside the cylinder where this is possible.
If it is not possible to retract the rod into the cylinder (for example the twistlock
cylinders) then the exposed part of the chromed rod should be sprayed with a
rust inhibitor similar to, for example "Tectyl".
CAUTION! Efficient rust inhibitors often dry with time and should therefore be
removed by a solvent before using the spreader again. Failure to do this can
cause damage to the seals of the cylinders with subsequent leakage to follow.
3 The hydraulic tank should be filled to 80% of its total volume with clean
hydraulic oil, in order to reduce uncovered areas inside the tank, on which
condensation can form.
5 Where possible it would be advisable to equip the electric box with a heater
(this could be a small electric bulb for ex. 40 watt which is allowed to burn
constantly) and if the hydraulic tank is equipped with a heater, it would be
advisable to have it connected during the spring and autumn months.
6 Spray all electric connections both inside and outside of the box with a self-
drying lubricant. This will efficiently protect electric connections against
corrosion.

General description
Neuron is a system of purpose made ECUs, used at ELME Spreader to control
spreader motions. The system communicates to TRUCK/RS via CAN J1939. Spreader
sensors and actuators are hardwired to ECUs. The system consists of 1 to 5 ECUs
with centralised control and optional PC service interface on CAN bus via CAN-USB
dongle.
System diagram
As a minimum neuron system will consist of one MASTER ECU controlled (and powe-
red) from TRUCK or RS via CAN J1939. Each one of the SLAVE ECUs (also the ser-
vice tool) can be added or removed independently of all other optional units on the bus.
Each ECU has 2 CAN/Power ports in order to easily allow extension of the bus (see
also CAN termination below).
Status LED
Each ECU has a status LED to indicate that software is running, everything OK and
connection is established.
Example of status LED signal. This indicates all OK, ECU is SLAVE1.
[1] 24V supply to sensors will still be on. 24V supply to greasing pump will still be on.
Working lights will be left in whatever state they were when timeout occurred

The idea of the ELME Servicebox is to facilitate service job and preventive
maintenance of the spreader by boxing up selected Genuine Parts -our own
range of approved spare parts and accessories, 100 % made for your
ELME spreader. The box includes all the parts we consider needed to be
replaced at service.
ELME Servicebox is available for many of our spreader models – both empty and
laden truck spreaders as well as crane spreaders. For more information about
available models, please visit the ELME Servicebox page at www.elme.com
Manuals for all service boxes are available for download on our website. Please
visit the ELME Servicebox page at www.elme.com, select your service box and
click on "Download service manual".
