FOREWORD:

• This handbook has been compiled to assist you in properly operating and maintaining
  your Grove Crane.
• Before placing the crane in service, take time to thoroughly familiarize your-self
  with the contents of this manual. After all sections have been read and understood,
  retain the manual for future ref ere nee in a readily accessible location.
• The Grove Crane has been designed for maximum performance with minimum
  maintenance. Wrth proper care, years of trouble-free service can be expected.
  Constant improvement and engineering progress makes it necessary that we
  reserve the right to make specification and equipment changes without notice.
• Engine operating procedures and routine maintenance procedures are supplied
  in a separate manual with each crane, and should be referred to for detailed information.
• Information in this manual does not replace federal, state, or local regulations,
  safety codes, or insurance requirements.
• Changes from the first printing of this manual that have been made in the text are
  marked by a vertical bar ( I ) on the margin of the page opposite the change.

INTRODUCTION:

• This Handbook provides information for the maintenance personnel of the
  Model RT900 Series Grove Crane.
• The crane incorporates an all welded steel frame, using planetary drive axles to
  provide four-wheel drive. Axle steering is accomplished utilizing hydraulic steer
  cylinders. The engine is mounted at the rear of the crane and provides motive
  power through a remote mounted, six speed forward and reverse transmission.
• Hydraulic, double box, sliding beam outriggers are integral with the carrier
  frame.
• The carrier frame incorporates an integral fifth wheel, to which the rear axle is
  mounted, to provide axle oscillation. Axle oscillation lockout is automatic when
  the superstructure rotates more than 5 degrees from the travel position.
• The superstructure is capable of 360 degree rotation in either direction. All crane
  functions are controlled from the fully-enclosed cab mounted on the superstructure.
• The crane is equipped with a four-section, trapezoidal, full powered boom.
  Additional reach is obtained by utilizing an optional triangular boom extension.
  Lifting is provided by a main hoist and an optional auxiliary hoist.
