INTRODUCTION:
GENERAL:

• This Handbook provides important information for the operator of the Model RT540E Series Grove
  Crane.
• The rough terrain 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 six speed forward
  and reverse transmission. Hydraulic, double box, sliding beam outriggers are integral with the
  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
  from the travel position.
• The superstructure is capable of 360′ 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 cable synchronized full power boom. Additional reach is obtained by
  utilizing a swingaway boom extension. Lifting is provided by a main hoist and an
  optional auxiliary hoist.
