INTRODUCTION:
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 yourself with the contents of this manual. After all sections have been read and understood, retain the manual for future reference in a readily accessible location.
- The Grove Crane has been designed for maximum performance with minimum maintenance. With proper care, years of trouble-free service can be expected. Constant improvement and engineering progress make 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.
- This Operator’s Manual provides important information for the operator of the Model RT600E 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.
