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 makes it necessary that we reserve the right to make
  specification and equipment changes without notice.
• Grove and our Dealer Network want to ensure your satisfaction with our products and
  customer support. Your local dealer is the best equipped and most knowledgeable to assist you for
  parts, service and warranty issues. They have the facilities, parts, factory trained personnel, and
  the information to assist you in a timely manner. We request that you first contact them for
  assistance. If you feel you need factory assistance, please ask the dealer’s service
  management to coordinate the contact on your behalf.
• 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.

GENERAL:

• This Handbook provides important information for the operator of the Model RT890E 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.
• 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
  five-section, full power, sequenced and synchronized boom. Additional reach is obtained by
  utilizing an optional swingaway boom extension. Lifting is provided by a main and auxiliary hoist.
