Drogobych Crane КТА-16, КТА-25, КТА-28 2004 Installation Manual, Technical Manual

If you are installing or adjusting the PZK-10 crane protection device on a Drogobych Crane КТА-16, КТА-25, or КТА-28, you need the factory procedure. Aftermarket translations or unofficial PDFs skip steps and invent torque values. This is the original 2004 Drogobych Crane КТА-16, КТА-25, КТА-28 2004 Installation Manual, Technical Manual from the OAO Drogobych Plant – 21 pages of verified Russian-language instructions that the factory technicians used. No reprints, no generic wiring guesses.

General Instructions: Who Can Perform This Work

Section 1 (page 4) states that only personnel who have studied this manual, the crane’s operating documentation, and hold a valid permit from the Ukrainian State Supervision Authority may perform installation and adjustment. The manual explicitly requires ambient temperatures above freezing and no precipitation. If you are working in a heated shop in winter, you are fine. Outside in a rainstorm? Stop. Page 4 also lists the visual inspection steps before mounting the PZK-10: check completeness, integrity of controls, paint condition, and seals. Skip that and you might mount a damaged unit.

21 pages. That’s what you get. Not a 500-page generic book that wastes your time. Every page counts.

Safety Measures and Environmental Requirements

Chapter 2 (page 5) is titled “Мероприятия безопасности” – safety measures. It forbids welding to crane structures with sensors attached. The manual also requires all crane mechanisms to be fully functional before starting the PZK setup. If you have a sticky outrigger or a worn hoist brake, fix that first. The manual does not treat safety as a checklist – it treats it as a precondition. That’s how factory docs read.

List of Instruments and Equipment Needed

Chapter 3 (page 6) enumerates every tool, instrument, and fixture required for installation. You want to know if you need a specific multimeter or a special wrench? It is right there. This is not a general list – it matches the PZK-10 kit and the crane models. For example, the manual references the БОД (data processing unit) and the ЖКИ (LCD indicator). If you don’t have the specified equipment, do not start the job.

PZK-10 Installation and Initial Parameter Setting

Chapter 4 covers mounting the PZK-10 on the crane and setting initial parameters. The manual uses the term “галетный переключатель” (rotary switch) for the mode selector. Wiring diagrams are in the original Russian – if you cannot read them, get a translator. The procedure is sequential: connect to the crane electrical circuit, power up, then enter the initial values. Miss a step and the protection device may not engage during an overload. That is a liability.

If you also need documentation for the crane’s drivetrain, check our Manual Transmission manuals. But this manual only covers the safety system.

Functional Check and System Adjustment

Chapters 5 and 6 (pages 11–15) detail the power-on sequence and the on-crane adjustment of the PZK-10. The adjustment must be performed on a test site, not in the field. Every limit switch and sensor must be verified. The manual gives the exact order to check the boom angle, load moment, and rope-overwinding prevention. Aftermarket guides often say “adjust until it feels right.” This manual gives the factory logic. For related content, browse our crane safety systems category.

Tests and Reporting Requirements

Chapter 7 (page 21) lists the acceptance tests. Chapter 8 requires a signed report. You cannot just install and walk away. The manual is part of the crane’s official documentation – you need to fill out the forms. This is not optional if you want the crane to pass inspection.

FAQ

Is this manual in English?

No. The manual is in Russian. The OCR excerpt confirms this. If you need English, you will have to translate it.

Does it cover both the КТА-16 and КТА-28?

Yes. The title page lists КТА-16, КТА-25, and КТА-28. The installation instructions apply to all three models because the PZK-10 mounting is standardized across the series.

What is the PZK-10?

PZK-10 is the crane protection device (прибор защиты крана). It monitors load moment, boom angle, and prevents overturning. The manual covers mounting it into the crane’s electrical system, setting parameters, and verifying its function. Without a working PZK-10, the crane is unsafe to operate under many jurisdictions. The manual includes the exact wiring and adjustment procedure that the factory requires. Do not substitute an aftermarket calibration guide – use this.

Can I use this manual to repair the crane engine?

No. This manual is limited to installation, adjustment, and testing of the PZK-10 safety device. It does not cover engine, transmission, or hydraulic repairs.
