Grove Crane RT770E Operator Manual – PDF DOWNLOAD
GENERAL:
- This Operator Manual provides important information for the operator of the Model RT770E 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, full power, sequenced and synchronized boom. Additional reach is obtained by
utilizing an optional swingaway boom extension. Lifting is provided
by a main hoist and an optional auxiliary hoist. - It is impossible to compile a list of safety precautions covering all situations. However, there
are basic principles that must be followed during your daily routine. Safety is your primary
responsibility, since any piece of equipment is only as safe as the person at the controls. - Read and follow the information located in Model Specific Information near the end of this section.
This information has been provided to assist in promoting a safe working atmosphere for yourself
and those around you. It is not meant to cover every conceivable circumstance which could arise. It
is intended to present basic safety precautions that should be followed in daily operation. - Because you are the only part of the crane that can think and reason, your responsibility is not
lessened by the addition of operational aids or warning devices. Indeed, you must guard against
acquiring a false sense of security when using them. They are there to assist, not direct the
operation. Operational aids or warning devices can be mechanical, electrical, electronic, or a
combination thereof. They are subject to failure or misuse and should not be relied upon in place
of good operating practices. - You are the only one who can be relied upon to assure the safety of yourself and those around you.
Be a professional and follow the rules of safety. - Remember, failure to follow just one safety precaution could cause an accident that results in
death or serious injury to personnel or damage to equipment. You are responsible for
the safety of yourself and those around you.
