Fassi F155A, F165AXP 2008 Service Manual

You have a Fassi F155A, F165AXP 2008 Service Manual sitting on a customer’s crane that’s throwing overload codes and the outrigger won’t retract. Third-party PDFs give you a generic hydraulic schematic that doesn’t match the serial number. That costs you billable hours and gets you a phone call from the owner at 6 p.m. This 112-page OEM manual is printed from the factory file – no aftermarket conversions. It covers serial number *1101* onward, so you’re working with the exact valve bank and controller that came on that truck.

Safety Norms Chapter: What Gets People Killed

Chapter 6 – Safety Norms – isn’t a two-page afterthought. Fassi dedicates an entire section to residual risks (section 7.5) and the exact sequence for stabilizing the vehicle before unfolding. Section 13.5 walks you through the controls to stabilize the vehicle, including the hydraulic tiltable supports. If you skip the manual extension and re-entry of the outrigger supports (section 13.2), you can tip a 30-ton crane. I’ve seen it. This manual prints those steps in the order they need to happen, not in a paragraph you have to parse.

Hydraulic and Electric Schematics

Chapter 4 covers hydraulic schematics for the version with the lifting moment limiting device – the one that reads pressure and angle to shut the crane down. Chapter 5 gives you the electric schematics for that same version. These are the factory drawings, not a redrawn version from a third party that leaves out the ground path. The electric schematics show the lifting moment limiting device “EVOLUTION” (LMEV) and the automatic dynamic control (ADC) – section 16.2. Need to trace the overload override circuit? That’s in section 16.8.1, temporary override for crane functions. No guesswork.

7 Systems Covered – From Capacity Plates to Radio Remote Control

This manual doesn’t stop at the engine. Here’s what’s inside the 112 pages:

• Capacity plates (Chapter 3) – with lifting moment limiting device and load limiting device versions
• Crane nomenclature (Chapter 9) – identifies ground controls on both sides vs. top seat controls
• Supplementary beams (Chapter 11) – identifies which beams fit your configuration
• Tiltable outrigger rams (Chapter 12)
• Controls to operate the crane (Chapter 14) – includes radio-remote control panels for RCH and SCANRECO units
• Manoeuvres of crane loads (Chapters 15 and 16) – covers load limiting and lifting moment limiting devices, block due to overload condition, winch off, and lifting block (Prolink)
• Use of implements (Chapter 17) – hydraulic connections for implements and supplementary hoses

If you’re working on the XP device (section 16.9), this manual includes the activation and instructions for use. The section on manual extensions (Chapter 18) ties into the lifting moment limiting device “ELECTRONIC” – not the same as the full LMEV, so you need the correct sub-chapter.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation

First, torque values. This manual doesn’t list generic bolt torques for the carrier – it gives you the specs for the crane-specific fasteners. Page 26 in the technical data section (2.3) includes the charge pressure for the hydraulic system. Second, the wiring diagrams in Chapter 5 are the ones the factory technician used when building the crane. Third, the safety warnings are written for operators and mechanics, not for marketing. Fassi includes the exact icon legend for the radio remote control (section 14.2.4) so you can decode what that flashing light means.

Audience Fit: Who Needs This Manual

Home garage mechanics? Not unless you own a Fassi crane on a service truck. This manual is for the technician who has to diagnose a lifting moment limiting device lockout, or the operator who needs to unfold the “C” version crane (section 14.6). The instructions are written for someone who knows which end of a wrench to use, but needs the sequence. If you’re replacing a hydraulic jib – that section (Chapter 20) is marked “not available” in this manual, so you’ll need the related FASSI CRANE F 190.24 Use and Maintenance Manual for that specific model. For the F230SE crane, grab the FASSI F 230SE Use and Maintenance Manual. The M10A.12 operator’s manual is here: Fassi M 10A.12 2006 Operators Manual – Factory Crane Docs.

If you’re dealing with a Manual Transmission on the carrier truck, that’s not in this book – but the crane’s control levers for stabilization are. And when you need to diagnose the radio remote control board, the pinouts are in section 14.2.2 for the RCH panel and 14.2.3 for the SCANRECO panel.

Source Validity: This Is the Factory Print

I’ve been burned by “reprint” manuals that are scanned at 72 dpi and missing the fold-out schematics. This file comes from the original 2008 publication – Edition ExtraCE 17.10.2008, straight from Fassi’s documentation department. The index lists hydraulic lists as “not available” (section 2.2) and hydraulic jibs as “not available” (Chapter 20), which tells you this manual is honest about what it covers. No aftermarket company left those sections out because they didn’t have the source material. This is the source material.

You want a manual that you can lay open on the outrigger beam and trust the numbers. This one.

FAQ

Does this manual cover the F155A and F165AXP models?

Yes. Both models are covered in the same document. The crane classification in Chapter 2 differentiates the technical data for each. Serial number *1101* and up.

Are the hydraulic and electric schematics included?

Chapters 4 and 5 contain the full hydraulic and electric schematics for the version with the lifting moment limiting device. The load limiting device version has its own hydraulic schematic in section 4.1.

What does “hydraulic lists (not available)” mean in the table of contents?

Fassi did not include the parts list or component breakdown for the hydraulic system in this edition. The manual focuses on operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, not on parts ordering. You will need a separate parts catalog for that.

Can I use this manual for a crane with top seat controls?

Yes. Section 9.2 covers the crane with top seat controls and ground controls for outriggers. The nomenclature of safety and protection devices in Chapter 10 also includes that configuration. The radio-remote control section applies regardless of the control station type.
