The all tarrain crane incorporates an all welded steel frame, using planetary drive axles to provide six wheel drive. Axle steering is accomplished utilizing hy- draulic steer cylinders. The engine is mounted at the front of the crane carrier and provides motive power through a 12 speed transmission. Hydraulic, double box, sliding beam outriggers are integral with the carrier frame. ‘The carrier frame incorporates suspension cylinders and torque rods to which the axles are mounted. Axleoscillation is provided though the front and rear axle suspension cylinders. ‘Th superstructure is capable of 960 degree rotation in either direction. Allerane functions are controlled from the fully — enclosed cab mounted on the super- structure. The superstructure cab also includes controls and indicators to allow the crane operator to drive the craneon the job site from the superstructure. The crane is equipped with a four section, sequenced boom with a cable syrchro- nized fly section. Additional reach is obtained by utilizing one of two optional boom extensions;32 foot (9.75 m) fixed length offsettable swingaway and a32 0 56 foot (9.75 to 17.07 m) offsettable telescoping swingaway. Lifting is pro- vided by a main hoist and an optional auxiliary hoist. AUXILIARY HOIST: 800M BOOM NOSE MAIN HOIST UFT CYLINDERS. AUXILIARY REMOVABLE BOOM COUNTERWEIGHT NOSE eS Basic Nomenciature 1-2 Section 2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ttis impossible to compile a list of safoty precautions covering all situations. However, thre ara basic safety precautions that MUST be followed during your, daily routine. Safety is YOUR PRIME RESPONSIBILITY, since any piece of ‘equipment is only as safe AS THE PERSON AT THE CONTROLS. With this thought in mind, this information has been provided to assist you, the ‘operator, in promoting a sate working aimosphere for yourself and those around you. isnot meantto.cover every conceivable circumstance which could arise. K is intended to present basic safety procautions that should be followed in daily operation. Because you, the operator, are the only part of the crane that can think and reason, your responsibilty is no! 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. ‘You, the operator, are the only one who can be relied upon to assure the safety cof yourself and those around you. Be a PROFESSIONAL and follow the RULES of safety. REMEMBER, failureto follow just one safety precaution can cause thataccident to people or equipment. You are responsible for the safety of yourself and those around you. Ensure you ané those working with you are aware of any special dangers wh you are operating the crane, Be especially careful of dangerous ground and objects, including buildings, noar the crane. Be aware at all times that you are responsible for the safety of yourself, your co- ‘workers, the crane and everything around it. Make cartain the crane is properly ‘maintained, and then pay attention to winds, boom deflections, rope sway, and ‘any unusual things, which you, as a crane operator, may notice which would not be important to others. 24 Know and abide by the basic safety rules. Read and understand the Operator's and Safety handbook before entering 4 the cab. Follow directions on all placards. Know what they mean and follow their instructions. Be prepared for the work day. Operators must be thoroughly familiar with safe crane operating practices and have a complete understanding of all operation and maintenance instructions provided. Operators should be physically fit and thoroughly trained, with rolated ‘experience, notbe easily excitable, notbe subject to epileptic seizures, and not be using any drug that could impair physical, visual, or mental reactions or capabilities. Wear the proper clothing for the job. Wear personnel protective equipment as required by local or job regulations. Inspect the crane every day (before the start of each shit). Ensure that routine maintenance and lubrication are being dutifully performed. Don'toperate adam- aged or poorly maintained crane. You risk lives when operating faulty machin- ‘ery, including your own. 22 Know the area in which you are working. Familiarize yourself with work site obstructions and other potential hazards in the area. Use caution when in the vicinity of overhanging banks or edges. Keep your shoes clean. Before entering the cab, clean any mud or grease from your shoes. This will reduce the possibilty of your foot slipping off a control pedal, possibly resulting in an accident. Since certain shoe sole mat more slip resistant than others, all operating and service personnel should wear footwear with high slip resistant sole material. ‘Avoid a dirty or greasy crane. Keep the cab, deck, and foot and hand holds free of mud and grease for operator safety. Dirty equipment fails rapidly and makes good main- tenance difficult. Observe and heed possible pinch points while performing maintenance or other work, ‘Check for WARNING tags placed on the crane. If found, refuse to operate the crane until repairs are made and WARNING tags are removed by authorized personnel. Before performing maintenance, disconnect the battery, remove the ignition key, and place WARNING SIGNS in the cab. Proper lubrication is a requirement in any heavy equipment operation. Follow the factory recommendations regarding the lubrication time | intervals and types of lubricants used. Adjust time intervals accordingly, when working under ‘severe conditions. ‘When adding oilto the hydraulic system, follow the manufacturer's recommen- dations. Mixing the wrong fluids could destroy seals, causing machine failure. When performing maintenance, refer tothe appropriate manvalfor instructions, Consult the factory if there is any question regarding procedures or specifica tions. Do not attempt repairs you do not understand! BEFORE performing maintenance on the crane, remove all weight from ‘outrigger jack cylinders, and lower attachments to the ground or place them on suitable blocking. Pressurized air and hydraulic oll can cause serious injury. Be certain all lines, ‘components, and fitings are tight and serviceable. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for suspected leaks in hydraulic systems and soapy water to search for leaks in pneumatic systems. Never exceed the manufacturer's recommended relief valve pressure settings. ‘Always replace the guards or other safety devices which may have been temoved during crane repair or adjustment. Have an approved fire extinguisher available and know howto use it. Inspect as required to ensure itis fully charged and operable. Maintain battery electrolyte at the proper level. Check the state of charge indicator with a flashlight. Asparkor flame couldcause a battery explosion. Don't short across thepoststo check the charge. ‘Check battery condition only with proper test equipment. Batteries shall not be charged except in an open, well ventilated area free of flame, smoking, sparks and fire. Wear your safety glasses when servicing batteries. a4 Don't smoke while performing battery maintenance. Disconnect the grounded battory clamp first when removing a battery and connect it last when installing battery. Before charging a battery, consult the battery manufacturer's instructions. ‘Avoid battery acid contact with the skin and eyes. Itaccidentallycontacted, flush the area with water and consult a doctor immediately. Follow standard safety precau- tions when refueling. FUEL IT ‘SAFELY. Be careful when checking the cool- ant level. Shut down the engine and allow the radiator time to coo before removing the radiator cap. Unless authorized and approved by Grove Manufacturing Company, do not make any modifications, alterations, or changes to a crane which could in anyway affect it's original design. Such action invalidates all warranties and capacity charts, and makes the owner/user liable for any resultant accidents, Keep the crane properly maintained and adjusted at all times. Shut down the crane while making repairs or adjustments. 25 Koop your fingers away from potentially hazardous areas. Keep brakes property adjusted. Keep brake linings free of oll and grease. Do not cover lubricate the bearings or brake anchor pins. Refer to the Service Manuai. Use cleaning solutions that arenon-flammable and approved for the work being performed. ‘Atways perform afunction check after repairs have been made to ensure proper operation. Load tests should be parformed when structural or lifting members are involved. Do not store flammable materials on the crane at any time. Never get off or on a moving crane. ‘When getting on or off a sta- tionary crane, use both hands and use the handrails and steps provided. ‘Allow No One other than the ‘operator to be on the crane while the crane is function or moving, unless they are seated in a two-man cab. Inspect the tires for nicks and cuts, imbedded stones, and abnormal wear. Make certain dual _wheols are properly matched for diameter and tread wear. Check for stones and other objects wedged be- tween tires on dual wheels. Ensure ll iug nuts are properly torqued. ‘Check the tire pressure daily. ‘When intlating or adding air to the tires, use a tire cage and clip-on inflator. Use an exten- sion hose which will permit standing behind the tire tread when inflating. 26 In freezing weather, park the crane in an area where it cannot become frozen to the ground. The drive line can be damaged when attempting to free a frozen crane. When shutting down the crane adh to the following: — engage the parking brakes = lower the boom and the load —place the control neutral — chock the wheels: ~ ensure the swing lock is engaged = remove the ignition key ~ lock the machine and install vandal guards, i used Don't touch metal surfaces that could freeze you to them. Check load limit of bridges. Before traveling across bridges, ensure they will carry load greater than the crane's weight. Watch clearances when traveling. Do not take a chance of running into over- head or side obstructions. a7 ‘When moving in ight quarters, post alook-outto help guard against collisions or bumping structures. ‘Nover back up without the aid of a signalman to verity the area behind the crane is clear of obstructions and/or personnel. ‘When traveling, the boom should be completely retracted, lowered, and stowed inits travel position. Do notattemptto move the crane until brake system air pressure is at operating level. Secure the hook block and other items before moving the crai ‘When traveling, keep the lights on, use traffic warning flags and signs, and use front and rear flag vehicles. Check state and local restrictions and regulations. Drive caretully and avoid speeding. 28 Betore traveling a crane, check suitabilty of proposed route with regardto crane height, width, and length. Stay alert at the wheel. ‘When parking on a grade, apply the parking brake and chock the wheels. Cold weather operation requires additional caution on the part of the operator. ‘Check operating procedures for cold weather starting. Don't touch metal surfaces that could freeze you to them. Clean the crane of all ice and snow. Allow ample time for hydraulic oil to warm up. Infreezing weather, park the crane in an area where it cannot become frozen to the ground. In freezing weather, frequently check all air tanks for water. ‘Always handle propane tanks according to the supplier's instructions. Never store flammable materials on the crane. tfcold weather starting aids are provided on your crane, use them. The use of ‘aerosol spray or other types of starting fluids containing ether/volatiles can cause explosions or fire. 2-10 Section 3 CAB CONTROLS AND INDICATORS Because thereis only one engineon thiscrane, itcanbe controlledfrom beth the superstructure and carrier cabs. Each ignition switch, when positioned to the ace ot on position, supplies voltage through the electrical swivel to certain gauges and indicators in the other cab.
