the art and the recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless, personal
injury to the operator or a third party as well as damage to the crane and
other property may occur during use.
The truck crane may only be modified with the consent of the manufacturer.
The GMK 6300 truck crane must be in proper working condition and may
only be used for its intended purpose, while taking into account safe
operation and any possible hazards.
Malfunctions that may affect the safe operation of the unit are to be
corrected immediately.
Without the corresponding special equipment, the truck crane GMK 6300
may only be operated at an ambient temperature of – 25 to + 40 °C.
The GMK 6300 truck crane is to be used exclusively for the vertical lifting
of loads whose weight and centre of distribution are known. A hook block
must be reeved on the hoist rope and such lifting must be done only in
the permitted rigging modes. Any other use of the crane is considered
improper.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from the improper or
unauthorised use of the GMK 6300 truck crane. The user shall take on full
responsibility for any such use.
Proper use also entails

– observing all crane documentation, consisting of the operating instruc-
tions, the lifting capacity table, the outrigger pressure table and the

– wearing protective clothing and equipment,
– traffic regulations or
– all regulations aplying to the ooertion of the crane.
Ensure that those appointed to work on the truck crane are given the infor-
mation required to carry out the work before starting operations. Give
your employees (e.g. banksmen, slingers, rigging personnel) appropriate
instruction.
Ensure that the maintenance personnel possess the necessary know-how

to safely operate the crane. Ensure that the maintenance personnel have
access to the operating instructions.
Only properly trained or instructed personnel may carry out work on the
truck crane.
Responsibilities related to crane operation, rigging, maintenance and
repair work must be clearly defined.
Ensure that only the appointed employees operate the truck crane.
Do not leave long hair down or wear loose clothing or jewellery (including
rings) when working with the crane. These could get caught or pulled into
the unit and result in injury.

Note the operational organization on the site. Report your arrival to site
management. Ask for the personnel authorised to issue instructions.
Familiarise yourself with the location and operation of the fire extin-
guishers on every site.
Note the fire alarm and fire fighting facilities on the site.
Should the operating behaviour of the truck crane change in such a

manner that the safety conditions are affected, e.g. if you doubt the truck
crane is operating safety, stop the machine immediately and inform the
appropriate responsible persons.
Do not make any changes to the programmable control systems

(e.g. the SLI).
Do not modify or mount attachments to the truck crane without the

consent of the manufacturer, if such changes could affect the safety of the
unit. This also applies to
– installing safety devices,
– adjusting safety devices and valves.
Welding work on load-bearing parts may only be conducted by properly
qualified personnel following authorisation by the manufacturer. To avoid
any damage, especially to electronic parts, there are certain steps you
must take before doing any welding work. So always consult GROVE
Product Support before doing any welding work.
Ensure that both the prescribed periods and the periods specified in the
operating and maintenance instructions for regular testing, inspection
and maintenance work are maintained.
Replace the hydraulic hose lines in the prescribed intervals or have them
replaced, even if no safety defects are noticeable.
Replacement parts must fulfil the technical requirements prescribed by

the manufacturer. Genuine spare parts always meet these requirements.
It is imperative that appropriate service equipment be used when carrying

out repair work.

1.6 Safety instructions for truck crane work

Carefully select a safe site for the truck crane to stand from where you can
safely work.
Walk around the truck crane before beginning crane work. Check the
condition of the truck crane carefully using the check lists in the operating
instructions. Do not assume that everything is in working order simply
because it was in working order when work was last completed.
Before commencing work with the crane, check daily that all covers and
safety devices are correctly fitted and in an acceptable condition.
Check the safety devices each day before beginning work (SLI, lifting limit
switch, dead man’s switch, emergency stop switch for crane control).
When doing rigging or maintenance work above head height, use the in-
tended climbing aids. Do not use machine parts as limbing aids.
Step only on those machine parts which are equipped with appropriate
steps and railings and therefore guarantee safety. During rigging and
maintenance work on machine sections above body height which have no
apparatus for walking, use the extendable ladder which accompanies the
machine (e.g. when reeving the hoist cable on the boom nose).
Keep all handles, steps, step treads and ladders free of dirt, snow and ice.
Check all operating and control elements in the crane operator’s cab
before starting the crane engine.
Monitor all warning and indicator lamps as well as the control instru-
ments when the engine is started!
Make sure that there are no unauthorised people in the vicinity of or on

the truck crane when rigging or during crane work. Secure the danger
zone using cordons and label them as such.
When lifting a load, raise the boom to balance out the increase in radius
caused by the boom bending so that the load is lifted up when in a verti-
cal position and does not drag, injure helpers or fall into the hoist rope
diagonally (e. g. from a vehicle or scaffold). Inform banksmen and helpers
about this as well.
Support the truck crane with the supporting span for the current rigged
counterweight before turning the superstructure.
18.02.2000
Ensure that the truck crane is horizontally aligned before carrying out
crane work.

GMK 6300
Only use equipment (counterweight sections, lattice extensions) that

belongs to your truck crane. The serial number of both the truck crane
and the equipment must be identical.
Simultaneously lifting loads with two cranes is particularly dangerous.

Use extreme caution when carrying out this type of work.
Always put down the load before you stop work.
Lock the truck crane when you leave the cab to prevent unauthorised use.
Crane work carried out in the vicinity of supply lines such as oil, gas and
power lines is dangerous and requires that special precautionary mea-
sures be taken. Please refer to the section titled Crane operation under special
operating conditions in the Safety manual and note the relevant national
regulations.

Components When delivered, the telescopic swing-away lattice extension has the
following components (see diagram on next page):
– the foot section
– the head section (inclinable part)
– the adapter unit (for mounting on the main boom head),
– a lever tool for connecting hydraulic quick couplings.
Identification The telescopic swing-away lattice extension is designed for the truck
crane for which it was delivered. The telescopic swing-away lattice exten-
sion parts belonging to the truck crane have the same serial number as
the truck crane. All components are identified by serial numbers.
S
Operate the truck crane only with the parts of the telescopic swing-away
lattice extension which have the same serial number as the crane.
The SLI is only set for this telescopic swing-away lattice extension.
This prevents malfunctions and damage.
H A truck crane may only be set with one telescopic swing-away lattice
extension for technical reasons.
If you wish to use the telescopic swing-away lattice extension on several

GROVE truck cranes, the telescopic swing-away lattice extension sections
must be adjusted for the corresponding cranes and labelled with all of the
respective serial numbers.

3.9 Description of rigging work
3.9.1 Preparing the truck crane for rigging
Requirements for Before you rig a lattice extension, the following requirements must be
rigging met:
– The lattice extension is mounted at the side on the main boom and is in
transport condition.
– The counterweight version required according to the Lifting capacity table
for the planned operation with the lattice extension is rigged.
– The truck crane is supported with the prescribed outrigger span for the
planned operation with the lattice extension according to the Lifting
capacity table and is aligned horizontally.
– The telescoping ram is locked in telescope section IV and is retracted
as far as possible just before the start of rigging so that all telescoping
parts are fully retracted.
– The hook block is unreeved until the hoist rope extends to the ground
on the left side of the main boom.
– The hoist rope is unreeled from the main boom head appox. 10 m
(33 ft)wide towards the front (until the hoist rope stop for angling).
S
Risk of damaging the hoist rope!
Always keep the hoist rope on the left side of the main boom going down
to the ground. In this way, you will prevent that the hoist rope will be
damaged by getting stuck on the retaining part while being tightened.
Requirements for Before you lower a lattice extension or the boom extension into a horizon-
unrigging tal position, the following requirements must be met:
– No other load is raised apart from the hook block.

26.06.2000
– The required counterweight version for operation with the rigged lattice
extension according to the Lifting capacity table is rigged.
– The truck crane is supported with the outrigger span prescribed for
operation with the rigged lattice extension according to the Lifting
capacity table.
– The main boom is fully retracted (0 / 0 / 0 / 0).
– The SLI code is entered for operation with the rigged lattice extension.
18.02.2000
s
GMK 6300
– The telescoping ram is locked in telescope section IV and is retracted

as far as possible just before the start of rigging so that all telescoping
parts are fully retracted.
If these requirements are met, lowering into the horizontal position with
lattice extension and a slewing range of 360° is permitted and is moni-
tored by the SLI; ➠ Raising the setting down the main boom with rigged lattice
extension, p. 3-62.
Do not override the SLI when lowering into a horizontal position!
3.9.2 Mounting/removing adapter unit
For the installation and rigging of the lattice extension an adapter unit
must be mounted in front of the main boom head.
The adapter unit contains the required mountings on which the lattice
extension is locked for swinging and for operation.
The retaining pins (1) for the connection are

in holdings on the foot of the adapter unit.
Mounting adapter unit

• Sling the adapter unit onto an auxiliary
crane; ➠ Slinging points, p. 3-15.
• Lift the adapter unit in front of the main
boom head so that the bearing points (2)
and (3) align on both sides.
• Remove a retaining needle from each re-
taining pin (1) and sling the retaining pins
as far as possible on the second retaining
needle into the bearing points (2) and (3)
on both sides.
• Secure all pins with retaining needles.

Removing adapter unit

• Sling the adapter unit onto an auxiliary
crane; ➠ Slinging points, p. 3-15.
• Remove the safety needles (3) on each
retaining pin (2) on the outside.
• Strike the retaining pin inwards through
the bearing points.
The pins fall into the pin catch boards (1).
• Insert all retaining pins in the holdings (4)
on the adapter unit and secure them each
with two retaining needles.
3.9.3 Checking driving / working with the main boom rigging modes
Depending on whether the truck crane needs to be moved
– with a lattice extension folded at the side (axle load greater than 12 t)
– or you are working with the main boom,
certain rigging modes must be fulfilled.
S
Be careful not to damage the lattice extension and the main boom!
Always create the corresponding rigging mode for driving or working
with the main boom before you move the truck crane with the lattice
extension folded at the side or work with the main boom.
Only then is the lattice extension secured against slipping and the given
vehicle width is observed.
You must check transport condition:

– After unrigging the lattice extension before you move the truck crane
with the lattice extension folded at the side.
– After unrigging the lattice extension before you operate the truck crane
whilst working with the main boom with the lattice extension folded at
18.02.2000
the side.
The following paragraphs and the diagram show the required rigging
modes for the mode in question.

3.9.9 Electrical connection for rigging work
This section describes the connection of the electrical connection required

for rigging the lattice extension (to activate the switch units for telescop-
H
ing and swinging the lattice extension).
The electrical connections for the connection of the lifting limit switch
can be found in the section Lifting limit switch on the lattice extension;
➠ Lifting limit switch on the lattice extension, p. 3-57.
The connecting cable on the right side of the
main boom is wound up on the holders (3)
and connected to the socket (1).
Establishing electrical connection

• Remove the plug (2) from the socket (1) on
the main boom.
• Unwind the connecting cable from the
holdings (3).
• Remove the dummy plug (5) from the
socket (4) on the lattice extension and
insert the plug (2) there.

• Remove the plug (2) from the socket (4) on
the lattice extension and insert the dummy
plug (5) there.
• Insert the plug in the socket (1) on the
main boom.
• Wind up the connecting cable on the
holders (3).
H Telescoping the main boom is enabled electrically only when the plug of
the connecting cable is in the socket on the main boom. This ensures that
18.02.2000
the connecting cable does not tear when telescoping the main boom.

The lattice extension is telescoped from a hydraulic motor via a chain

drive. The following prerequisites must be fulfilled for telescoping:
– the electrical connection is made for rigging work; ➠ p. 3-48.

– the hydraulic connection is made; ➠ p. 3-46.
– Both electronic connections for the lifting limit switch are inserted in
the dummy sockets on the lattice extension; ➠ p. 3-57.
– The mechanical safety device on the lattice extension is released;
➠ Inserting/releasing mechanical lock – in this section.
Inserting/relea- The lattice extension is secured mechanically with a locking pin.

sing mechanical The locking pin must be inserted for operation and transportation of the
safety device lattice extension.
The locking pin (2) is inserted in the same
place through the bore (1) with a retracted
and extended lattice extension.
Before telescoping
• Remove the retaining needle (3) and pull
the locking pin out of the bore.
After telescoping
• Insert the locking pin in the bore and secure
it with the retaining needle (3).
S
Risk of accidents with removed mechanical safety device!
After telescoping always insert the locking pin in the bore. By doing this
you prevent the lattice extension telescoping without you wanting it to
because of the mechanical forces arising when the main boom is being
raised or when a load is being lifted and thus leading to dangerous situa-
tions and, in turn, accidents.
Telescoping The lattice extension may be telescoped only into the two following posi-
lattice extension tions for operation and in folded-at-the-side transport position:
– retracted (11 m length of lattice extension length; Operation and transport)
18.02.2000
– extended (19 m lattice extension length; Operation)
s
GMK 6300
Telescoping the lattice extension is done via the mobile switch unit
(connect the switch unit ➠ p. 3-64).
Retracting: Press Retract push-button (2).
Extending: Press Extend push-button (1).
Extending
• Completely extend the lattice extension.
• Insert the locking pin and secure it with the
retaining needle.
Retracting
• Retract the lattice extension until the bores
(1) align.
• Insert the locking pin and secure it with the
retaining needle.
When telescoping, the telescope section runs over an adjustable support

roller (2). The support roller is factory adjusted.
If the support roller should need to be adjusted, do so according to the
adjusting instructions in chapter 5 so as to avoid damage to the telescope
section; ➠ Adjusting the support roller for the telescope section; p. 3-94.
3.9.11 Adjusting angle on the lattice extension
Three different angles can be set on the lattice extension:

– 0° angle for transport
– 5° angle for operation
– 30° angle for operation.
The lattice extension is slung on the hoist rope to adjust the angle so that
it can be inclined with the hoisting gear. The degree of the angle is deter-
18.02.2000
mined by securing pins, which are inserted or removed at the respective

places.

GMK 6300
G
Risk of accidents and damage when inclining!
If the lattice extension is inclined in an incorrect fashion, it can lead to
accidents and to damage to the lattice extension and the hoist rope.
Therefore, only proceed according to the following instructions when
inclining the lattice extension and observe all safety instructions.
Attaching lattice During rigging, you must sling the lattice extension to the hoist rope before
extension to you knock out the pins on the sides of the foot section.
hoist rope
During unrigging you must attach the lattice extension to the hoist rope
so that you can raise the lattice extension into the 0° angle.
• Guide the hoist rope over the deflection

sheave on the the foot section on the left
side of the lattice extension up to the draw
shackle (1).
• Secure the rope end clamp (2) to the draw
shackle.
S
Risk of damaging the hoist rope!
Always guide the hoist rope via the folded out deflection sheave in the
foot section when you are slinging the lattice extension to the hoist rope
for adjusting the angle. Doing this prevents the hoist rope from dragging
on the transverse struct in front of the deflection sheave and suffering
damage from excessive forces caused by the unfavorable angle.
Adjusting the This section decribes the procedure for setting the angle.
angle The required pin connections for the different angles are illustrated in the
following section; ➠ p. 3-52.
When rigging
18.02.2000
• Lift the lattice extension with the hoist rope until the inserted pins are
relieved.
s
GMK 6300
• Remove the retaining needles and knock out the required pins;
➠ p. 3-52.
S
Danger of damage when putting down the head.
When inclining the lattice extension, never lower the main boom so much
that the head of the lattice extension touches the ground. If the lattice ex-
tension is put on the ground or moved on the ground, the lattice exten-
sion can be damaged.
• Incline the lattice extension with the hoist into the required angle.
Be sure that the head does not touch the ground when doing this.
• Make the necessary pin connections for this angle and secure all pins
with retaining pins; ➠ p. 3-52.
When unrigging
• Lift the lattice extension with the hoist rope until the inserted pins are
relieved.
• Remove the locking pins at a 5° angle; ➠ p. 3-52.
• Pull the lattice extension to a 0° angle with the hoist rope.
S
Risk of damaging the hoist rope when lowering!
If you have pulled the lattice extension as far as possible into the 0° posi-
tion with the hoist rope, you always have to leave some hoist rope before
you lower the main boom. In this position, the lattice extension no longer
compensate for the change of reach by inclining. The hoist rope will be
subject to strain when lowering and can tear.
• Leave some hoist rope and do not lower the main boom so much that
the head touches the ground.
• Make the necessary pin connections for the 0° angle and secure all pins
with retaining pins.
Required pin There are two pins with retaining needles on both sides of the foot section:
connections for – a long securing pin and
the angle – a shorter locking pin.
Depending on the angle of the lattice extension the pins are inserted in
different bores or in holders on the foot section.
18.02.2000

GMK 6300
G
Risk of accidents from lattice extension folding down!

3.9.16 Transportation of the lattice extension
On a separate
vehicle
G
Sling the lattice extension only on the designated slinging points and use
only lifting gear with sufficient load bearing capacity. This prevents the
lattice extension falling and injuring people while loading;
➠ Dimensions and weight, p. 2-1.
• Sling the lattice extension to the slinging points with an auxiliary crane
and set it down on a separate vehicle.
• Place the adapter unit on a separate vehicle.
• Always secure the lattice extension and the adapter unit on the separate
vehicle with belts to prevent slipping and overturning.
S
Risk of damaging insufficient safety during transportation!
Always tie down the lattice extension and the adapter unit on the separa-
te vehicle with suitable belts to prevent slipping.
This prevents the lattice extension or adapter unit slipping during trans-
portation and thus impairing the driving function of the separate vehicle
or falling down and endangering traffic.
Folded at the side If you move the truck crane with the lattice extension folded at the side
you must also secure the lattice extension with a rope.
• Secure the holding rope (2) with a shackle

at the slinging points (1) at the lattie exten-
sion and (3) at the main boom.
Now the lattice extension is secured against
slipping by the run-up rail.

3.10 Operation with the lattice extension
H
If a hook block is reeved on the main boom during operation with the
lattice extension, the loads given in the lifting capacity tables decrease.
The values which must be taken from the load capacities depend on the
length of the lattice extension and the weight of the hook block and are
entered in their own table in the Lifting capacity tables.
Working- The hoisting, lowering, slewing, derricking and telescoping movements

movements are done in the same way as when operating with the main boom. The te-
lescoping will only be released, however, when the main boom is raised
to at least 75°-78°. The exact value of the angle depends on the length of
H
the lattice extension; ➠ Rigging program in the lifting capacity table.
As soon as the telescopic swing-away lattice extension has been electrical-

ly locked, the maximal speed for the auxiliary hoist, derricking gear, tele-
scoping gear and slewing gear will be reduced to about 70 %.
SLI shutdown When working with the 11 m or 19 m telescopic swing-away lattice exten-
sion, operation is monitored by the SLI.
SLI shutdowns can occur during lattice extension operation for the same
reasons as with main boom operation; ➠ Operating instructions GMK 6300

GMK 6300
3.10.1 Raising and setting down the main boom with rigged lattice
extension
S
The main boom may become overloaded!
When raising and setting down the main boom with a rigged lattice exten-
sion you must not move in fast speed.
This prevents the main boom becoming subject to increased vibration
and becoming overloaded.
H To raise and set down the main boom with a rigged lattice extension the
main boom must be fully retracted (SLI display 0 / 0 / 0 / 0) and the SLI
then switches automatically to the rigging program.
To raise and set down the following requirements must be met:
– The SLI code for the actual rigging mode is set on the SLI with the
00== 11 m or 19 m telescopic swing-away lattice extension.
– The current reeving of the hoist rope on the lattice extension is entered.
! – Apart from the hook block there is no load on the lattice extension.
Raising • Derrick in the main boom to raise.
Setting down • Derrick out to set down the main boom whilst making sure that the
head sheave is not pushed over the ground with the 19 m lattice
extension.
S
Danger of damage when putting down the 19 m lattice extension!
When setting down the head sheave of the lattice extension must not
touch the ground. Stop lowering the boom before or attach the lattice
extension to the hoist cable or an auxiliary crane to adjust the angle.
This prevents the lattice extension being pushed forward on the ground
and the extended section from being damaged.
18.02.2000

GMK 6300
3.10.2 Telescoping with rigged lattice extension
S
The main boom may become overloaded!
With a rigged lattice extension the main boom must not be telescoped in
fast speed and you must not slew the superstructure at the same time.
This prevents the main boom becoming subject to additional side forces
and increased vibration and becoming overloaded.
The telescoping will only be electrically released when:

– the lattice extension is engaged on the run-up rail in the Main boom
4 operation position (Lattice extension in driving mode indicator lamp is
not lit).
– and when the connecting cable plug on the right side of the main boom
Ö is plugged (Main boom telescoping blocked warning lamp is not lit).
Telescoping with a rigged lattice extension is released by the SLI only if

the main boom is raised to an angle of approx. 75° - 78° (the exact angle
depends on the length of the lattice extension (➠ Rigging programs in the
lifting capacity table).
If the main boom angle is too small for telescoping with the rigged lattice
extension angle, the SLI shows the corresponding error message.
• Put down the load.

• Raise the main boom to an angle necessary according to the rigging
program (➠ Rigging programs in the lifting capacity table).
• Telescope the main boom to the required length and observe the hook
block when doing so; lower and raise it using the hoist.
H
Do not actuate the slewing gear when telescoping.
Telescoping with a load is released by the SLI only for loads which are
below the values of the rigging programs.

GMK 6300
3.10.3 Swinging lattice extension onto the run-up rail
The lattice extension can be swung on the run-up rail in the driving and
working with the main boom positions; ➠ Positions in rear area, p. 3-37.
You can carry out the swinging process from the crane cab or outside the
crane cab.
Turning outside When rigging, turning is done via the mobile switch unit. Before rigging
the crane cab work, you have to connect the switch unit.
• Connect the plug (1) of the connecting

cable to the socket (2) at the lattice
extension.
The connecting cable is about 15 m (49 ft)
long, which is long enough for the switch
unit to reach the head (e.g. when estab-
lishing the slewing connection) and the foot
section (e.g. when telescoping).
• After rigging work, pull the plug out of the

socket again and put away the switch unit.
• With the Turning in the main boom range position push-button, turn the
folded lattice extension to the front away from the main boom head.
• With the Turning in the driving position push-button, turn the folded
26.06.2000
lattice extension to the front against the main boom head.
H The lattice extension turns as long as you keep the switch pressed or until
18.02.2000
an end position is reached.

GMK 6300
Swinging from When working with the main boom with the lattice extension folded at the
the crane cab side the lattice extension can also be swung from the crane cab.
• To swing into the working with the main boom position press the Swing
b lattice extension rocker switch up.
• To swing into the driving position press the Swing lattice extension rocker
b
H
switch down.
The lattice extension swings as long as you keep the switch pressed or
until an end position is reached.
S
Danger of damage to the hoses of the hydraulic connection!
If you swing the lattice extension from the crane cab to telescope the
main boom make sure before you telescope the main boom that the
hydraulic connection of the lattice extension is disconnected.
This prevents the hydraulic connections being torn during telescoping.
Telescoping the main boom is permitted only when the lattice extension
is in working with the main boom position and the plug of the electric con-
necting cable is in the dummy socket on the right side of the main boom.
If these conditions are fulfilled, the two lights Telescoping main boom blocked
Ö4 and Lattice extension in driving mode go out.

3.11 Turning loads with the lattice extension

When turning loads it is necessary to employ a two-hook operation.
The only type of two-hook operation technically possible and protected
by the SLI is described in this chapter using the turning of loads as an
example.
G
Risk of accidents due to overloading!
Lifting a load with two hooks is permissible only if the following instruc-
tions and illustrations are observed!
If these instructions are not observed, accidents could occur due to indivi-
dual parts of the truck crane being overloaded! The SLI then no longer gives
protection.
Two-hook operation with the boom extension is not permitted!
G
The load must always be lifted completely with the weakest part first
(lattice extension).
H You can find the position and function of the required operating instru-
ments in the supplied Operating Instructions for the GMK 6300.
3.11.1 Requirements
The following description requires that:

– the main hoist rope is reeved on the main boom and
– the auxiliary hoist rope is reeved on the lattice extension
– the lifting limit switch for both hoisting gears are switched off
G
The reeving on the main boom must be equal to or greater than that on
the lattice extension!
If this condition is not fulfilled, the main hoist rope and main hoisting
gear will become overloaded.
18.02.2000

GMK 6300
3.11.2 Setting SLI
H
For two-hook operation both hoists must be activated on the SLI.
It is advisable to enter the reevings for both hoists at the start. The values
are stored and called up directly when switching hoisting gears. This eli-
minates the need for input later during operation. Proceed as follows:
• Switch both hoists off.

Cü To do this press down both rocker switches Auxiliary hoist shutdown and
Main hoist shutdown.
• Switch on the main hoist.
ü To do this push up the rocker switch Main hoist shutdown.
Lamp I for the main hoist lights up in the Hoists position lamps.
• In the display Reeving, enter the quantity of reeved rope on the main
§ hoist rope of the main boom.
Now the reeving for the main hoist is stored and you can switch to the
auxiliary hoist.
• Switch off both hoists.

• Switch on the auxiliary hoist.
C To do this push up the rocker switch Auxiliary hoist shutdown.
On the indicator lamps Hoists lamp II is flashing for the auxiliary hoist.
• In the display Reeving, enter the quantity of reeved rope on the auxiliary
! hoist rope of the lattice extension.
18.02.2000
Now the reeving for the auxiliary hoist is also stored and you can switch
on the main hoist.

GMK 6300
• Switch the main hoist on by pressing the Main hoist shutdown rocker
ü switch up.
On the display lamps Hoists, lamp II is now lit for the auxiliary hoist and
lamp I is flashing for the main hoist.
• Set the SLI code for operation with the telescopic swing-away lattice
11== extension which is valid for the current rigging mode of the truck crane.
The SLI is thus set for two-hook operation; it now takes into consideration
the reeving for the auxiliary hoist and the lifting capacity tables for the
H
lattice extension.
In two-hook operation the loads given in the lifting capacity table are
reduced by the weight of both reeved hook blocks.
Turning load To turn loads, proceed only in the manner described as follows.
S
Keep the acceleration force as low as possible during two-hook operation.
Therefore move the load at the lowest possible speed!
H If the load is on two hooks, there will be slight differences in the Actual
load display. However, the differences are on the safe side with regard to
H
SLI deactivation.
If the load is on two hooks, you must not change the SLI code to Operation
with main boom; it must be set to Operation with the lattice extension through-
out the lifting process.
18.02.2000

GMK 6300
C0183
• Lift the load fully with the lattice extension.

• Only now should you attach the load to the hook block of the main
boom as well.
• Now lift the load with the hook block on the main boom until both
slinging points are at the same height.
C0184
• Slacken the hoist rope on the lattice extension until the load is only
18.02.2000
hanging from the hook block on the main boom.

Turning the load is thus completed.

3.12 Driving with rigged crane and lattice extension

installed
This section describes how you can move the truck crane with an installed
counterweight and rigged lattice extension.
G
Risk of accidents!
It is forbidden to move the truck crane with a load on the hook.
Put the load down before you move the truck crane.
Secure the hook block so that it cannot swing.
G
Risk of overturning!
Before a rigged crane can be driven the superstructure must be locked
and the slewing gear permanent brake must be engaged.
3.12.1 Driving route
The route must be a flat, even surface. The level adjustment system can-
not compensate for uneven surfaces. If the surface pressure of the tyres
exceeds the permissible load on the ground, the surface pressure must be
increased using packing made of durable material (e.g. wooden planks).
S
Risk of tyre damage!
Check the pressure in the tyres before the rigged truck crane is moved!
The truck crane may be moved only if tyre pressures are at the prescribed
levels; ➠ Operating instructions GMK 6300 – Technical Data.
Do not reduce the tyre pressure!

GMK 6300
3.12.2 Position of the boom
The vehicle may only be moved if certain conditions are met. The boom
may have to be moved to a specified position, depending on the installed
counterweight.
S
Damage may occur to the axle lines!
Always move the boom to the prescribed position before you move the
rigged truck crane. The permitted load on the axle lines will be exceeded
if the boom is in a position which deviates from the prescribed position.
• Set the appropriate SLI code for the rigging mode on the safe load indi-
00== cator. The SLI codes are found in the Lifting capacity table.
• Move the boom into the prescribed position. The prescribed boom posi-
tion can be found in the following tables.
G
Risk of accidents if SLI is overridden!
Always set the SLI rigging code corresponding to the current rigging
mode when you derrick the main boom into the prescribed position.
Do not override the SLI; the prescribed positions in the following tables
all lie within the areas which are permitted according to the Lifting capacity
tables.
The truck crane safe load indicator does not function when the SLI is
overridden!

the boom, the rear axle lines will be overloaded and damaged.
Proceed in the following manner to support the truck crane:
• Move all outrigger beams to the span required for the job.
• Extend the outrigger cylinders until the wheels of the rear axle lines no
longer touch the ground.
• Extend the front outrigger cylinders out as far as the cylinder force
allows.
• Set the code on the SLI for the intended job.
The rear axle lines are now without a load and you can lower the main
boom.
• If need be, slew the superstructure to the rear and lower the completely
folded-up main boom to 30°.
• Extend the outrigger cylinders until none of the wheels is touching the

3.16.7 Adjusting the support roller for the telescope section
When telescoping, the telescope section runs over a support roller with
spring-loaded bearing. The suspension is factory set in a way that it com-
pensates the weight of the telescopic part, but only puts the amount of
pressure on the telescope section which will not damage it.
S
Risk of damage due to incorrectly set suspension!
The adjusting screws on the suspension are provided for factory setting!
Only change this setting if absolutely necessary (e.g. after repairs or acciden-
tal manipulation). This prevents damage to the telescopic part from too
much pressure and telescoping malfunctions due to too little pressure.
• Raise or lower the main boom in such a way that the retracted telesco-
pic swing-away lattice extension is horizontal.
• Extend the telescope section fully.
• Turn the adjusting screw (2) to the left until

the spring is relieved.
• Manually turn the adjusting screw to the
right until the spring begins to build up
force.
• Turn the adjusting screw 1/2 (to a maxi-
mum of 3/4) rotations further to the right.
• Secure the adjusting screw with the nut (1).

hook operation is permissible only in conjunction with an auxiliary single-
sheave boom top or a heavy load lattice extension (additional equipment).
by the SLI is described in this chapter using the turning of a load as an
example.

If these instructions are not observed, accidents could occur due to indi-
vidual parts of the truck crane being overloaded! The SLI then no longer
affords protection.
Two-hook operation with the boom extension (additional equipment)
is not permitted!

for the auxiliary hoist and the lifting capacity table for the main jib.
The load measurement is taken in two-hook operation with the pressure

in the derricking cylinder. The loads detailed in the lifting capacity table
then lessen with respect to the weight of both reeved hook blocks and
the weight of the auxiliary single-sheave boom top.
Load turning To turn loads, proceed only in the manner described as follows.
S
Only move the load at the lowest possible speed!
H As soon as the hoist rope on the main boom is pulled taut, the status dis-
play Actual load will exhibit slight variations. However, the variations are

extension
G
The boom extension may be installed only with the outrigger span and
the counterweight given in the Lifting capacity table.
These values are for the rigging and the operation of the boom extension.
G
Risk of accidents!
Use only permitted lifting gear with sufficient lifting capacity. Use the
two-section extendable ladder provided for installing the boom extension.
For the installation and dismantling of the boom extension on the truck
crane the following preparatory work must be carried out to switch the
truck crane into the prescribed rigging mode.
• Support the truck crane; ➠ GMK 6300 Operating instructions - Outrigger .

The prescribed outrigger span can be found in the Lifting capacity table.
• Install the required counterweight for operation with the boom
extension to be rigged; ➠ GMK 6300 Operating instructions - Counter-
weight.
Details on the required counterweight can be found in the Lifting
capacity table.

5.5.2 Handling the pins
1 2 The connecting pins of the boom extension

are tapered on both sides and are each
secured with two retaining pins. Only one
retaining pin must be removed when rigging.
When rigging (1 and 2) you must remove the

inner retaining pin and insert the pin as far
as possible onto the outer retaining pin.
3 4 Then secure the inner retaining pin again.
When unrigging (3 and 4) you must remove

the outer retaining pin and push the pin
inwards through the bearing point.
H
C0859
Unlike with other sections there are two collecting pans attached to the
foot section, in which the pins fall if they are hit by the bearing point.
Ensure that you can insert the retaining pins from the front when driving
the pins into the foot section. If you insert the retaining pins into the pins
from above (as in illustration 3 above), the retaining pins will push against
the drip cup when driving the pins out and thus cause damage.

aligned and then insert the pins (2). Secure
the pins with the retaining pins.
• Now lift the foot section until the upper
eyes in the foot section are aligned with
the upper bearing point on the main boom
2 head.
C0904 • Insert the pins (1) and secure them with
retaining pins.
Disassembly • Attach the foot section to the prescribed attachment points;

➠ Attachment points, p. 5-7;
• First remove the connecting pins (1) on the main boom head, insert the
pins in the holders and secure them with retaining pins.

5.5.4 Installing/disassembling boom extension sections
Check before • Check whether the tie/suspension bars, which are necessary for oper-
installation/ ating the luffing jib, are removed from all parts of the boom extension.
removal
• Make sure that the luffing jib’s tie/suspension section is not underneath
the intermediate sections.
G
Risk of accidents from non-detectable loads!
Operation of the boom extension is prohibited:
– if the tie/suspension bars are attached to the intermediate sections
– when the tie/suspension section is equipped as an intermediate section.
The weight of the tie/suspension bars and the higher weight of the tie/sus-
pension section are not detected by the SLI and a punctual SLI shutdown
is therefore no longer guaranteed.
Connecting pins The attach pins fit into the holdings on the rear of all boom parts.
The small pin (1) is required for connecting

the suspension bars only when the luffing jib
is rigged.
The suspension bars may not be on the inter-
mediate sections when the boom extension
1 is rigged.
The other pins are handled the same as the

pins on the foot section; ➠ Handling the pins,
p. 5-15.
C0905
18.02.2000
s
GMK 6300
Boom extension
Installing All requisite boom extension sections are attached and locked after each
other. To do this, the section rigged at the end must be placed on a
support and the upper bearing points must be locked. So that the lower
bearing points are aligned for locking, the boom extension must, if
H
necessary, be raised.
With longer boom extensions it is better (especially when installing the

head section) to first raise the boom extension and then attach the next
section with an auxiliary crane. This will give you better control over the
bearing point as a long boom extension in particular will swing consider-
ably when being raised on account of its tare weight.
• Attach the required section with an

auxiliary crane; ➠ Attachment points,
p. 5-7.
• Lift the boom section in front of the final
1 2 section to be rigged so that the upper
bearing points (1) and (2) align first.
• Lock the upper bearing points and secure
the pins with retaining pins.

Disassembly
G
Risk of accidents from falling boom extension!
Always unload the boom extension first before you loosen the pin
connections as described in this section.
You will thus prevent sections of the loaded boom extension falling and
injuring you or other people as the connections are being loosened.
Unloading the boom extension
After the boom extension has been placed on the sheave of the head
section it is under the stress of the tare weight. Before loosening the
connections you must unload the boom extension as follows:
18.02.2000

GMK 6300
Boom extension
• Lift the boom extension by carefully

raising the main boom until the
lower pin (1) is relieved of strain.
• Take out the lower pin.
• Slowly lower the boom extension to the

ground by lower the main boom.
• Sling the boom extension to the attach pin

(3) (on the left and right, respectively)
between the head and the last inter-
2 mediate section with an auxiliary crane.
• Lift the boom extension so that the lower
pin (4) is unloaded.
3
• Slowly lower the boom extension to the

ground.
Now all boom sections are unloaded on the
ground and you can pull out the pins.
C0907
Loosening connections
• Loosen the retaining pins on all bearing

points and remove the pins.
• Insert the pins into the holders and secure
them with retaining pins.
18.02.2000
C0897

GMK 6300
Boom extension
5.5.5 Transport pins
The foot section is used also as the foot section of the luffing jib. For the
luffing jib it functions like an angle section. This function is not used for
the boom extension.
The transport pins (1) on both sides of the

foot section prevent the luffing section
folding down during transportation, rigging
or operation with the boom extension.
C0909
S
Risk of accident from folding out foot section!
For operation with the boom extension the transport pins in the foot
section’s angle section must always be inserted.
Before raising the boom extension check if both parts of the foot section
are connected with the transport pins. This prevents the upper section
folding down during the raising process.
18.02.2000

GMK 6300
Boom extension
5.5.6 Angle section
The boom extension can be operated at angles of 3° or 25° to the main

boom. For this the pins on both sides of the boom extension must be
removed from the bores.
The 3° angle comes from the shape of the foot section. The angle section
must be folded up completely for the 3° angle.
G
Risk of accidents from defective backstops!
The pendulum of the backstops on both sides of the boom extension
must swing freely over the whole slewing range!
If it does not swing over the whole slewing range, the boom extension
will not be supported at the rear.
Furthermore, the backstop can be damaged when the boom extension is
set down.
• Check if the pendulum (1) of the backstops

on both sides of the boom extension can
swing freely.

5.5.7 Changing the lifting limit switch and anemometer
S
When you change the lifting limit switch from the head of the main boom
to the head of the boom extension, you must bridge this in the distributing
box on the main boom with a short-circuit plug as otherwise the lifting
limit switch on the head of the boom extension will not work.
• Unscrew the connecting cable of the lifting

limit switch from the distributing box (1)
on the left of the main boom head and
screw the short-circuit plug (2) in the
socket instead.

S
Risk of overturning with too high wind speeds!
If the maximum permissible wind speed according to the Lifting capacity
table is reached you must put down the load.
Observe the information in section Effect of wind when operating the boom
extension (further on in this chapter) and, if necessary, lower the boom
extension.
S
The main boom may buckle!
Accelerate and brake the crane movements in such a way that the load
does not sway.
S
Risk of accidents from overloading!
A hook block may not be reeved on the main boom during operation with
the boom extension. This hook block or load is not detected by the SLI
and the truck crane can become overloaded.
S
Risk of accidents from overturning
During operation with the boom extension, the telescopic swing-away lat-
tice may not be folded onto the side of the main boom. The weight is not
allowed for by the SLI, so there is a danger of overturning.

➠ GMK 6300 Operating manual - SLI shut down.
When the boom extension is being operated the fast speed for the

SLI shutdown
During overload the SLI switches off and the two warning lights SLI early
xw warning and SLI shutdown both light up on the plug-in module of the SLI.
The SLI switches off all movements which increase the load moment,
i.e. the following crane movements:
– lifting the main hoist
– lifting the auxiliary hoist
– lowering the main boom
• Leave the shutdown area by raising the main boom. If necessary lower
the load for this.

Effect of wind With strong winds the truck crane can become overloaded. The maximum
when operating permissible wind speeds with particular rigging modes can be found in
with the boom the Lifting capacity table. Observe also the information in section Effect of
extension wind on crane operation of the operating instructions of the GMK 6300.
G
Risk of accidents with too high wind speeds!
If the wind speed exceeds the maximum permissible lifting capacity table
values, crane operation must be set and the truck crane must be brought
to the rigging mode. This applies also when the wind surfaces of the load
is smaller than the permissible specific wind surfaces Aper;

5.7.1 Telescoping with rigged boom extension
The SLI frees the telescoping when there no load except for the hook
block is hanging from the boom extension.
Telescoping with a rigged boom extension is released only between 75°

and 82°, depending on the length of the boom extension.
The SLI releases the telescoping only when the main boom is raised up to
the angle at which it is safe to telescope with the rigged boom extension.
With short luffing jibs the telescoping is released from 75°, with long
luffing jibs the main boom must be raised to 82°.
S
The main boom may buckle during simultaneous rotation!
You must not rotate the superstructure whilst you telescope the main
boom with the rigged boom extension. If you do rotate this at the same
time, there will be additional sideways forces on the unlocked telescope
section. This side load may become so large that the telescope section
becomes overloaded and buckles.
The telescoping gear is operated in the same way as the main boom;

(see diagram on next page):
– one foot section,
– one luffing control arm,
– three intermediate sections with suspension bars,
– one suspension section,
– two intermediate sections without suspension bars
(and no supports for suspension bars) and
– one head section.
These components can be put together in six different length combina-
tions. To find out which parts need to be installed in which positions;
Identification The luffing jib is designed for the truck crane with which it was delivered.
The parts of the luffing jib belonging to the truck crane have the same
serial number as the truck crane.
All components are identified by serial number.
S
Operate the truck crane only with those parts of the luffing jib which have
the same serial number as the crane.
The SLI is set only for this luffing jib.
H
This means that you can prevent malfunctions and damage.
For technical reasons the truck crane may be adjusted only with
a luffing jib.
If you wish to use the luffing jib on several GROVE truck cranes, the parts
of the luffing jib must be adjusted for these cranes and labelled with all of
the respective serial numbers.

Unlike all other parts, there are two pin catch boards attached to the foot
section (see diagram below), into which the pins fall when they have been
hit through the bearing points. Ensure that you can insert the retaining
pins from the front when driving the the pins into the foot section. If you
insert the retaining pins into the pins from above (as in illustration 3
above), the retaining pins will push against the drip cup when driving
the pins out and thus cause damage. For all other positions, the crane is
accompanied by a removable pin catch board which is attached at the
respective position on the boom part.

There is no holder for the small pins on the suspension section as no

more suspension bars are rigged in front of this section.

To do this, the section rigged at the end must be placed on a support and
the upper bearing points must be locked. So that the lower bearing points

are aligned for locking, the luffing jib must, if necessary, be raised.
With longer luffing jibs it is better (especially when installing the head
section) to first raise the luffing jib and then attach the next section with
an auxiliary crane. This will give you better control over the bearing point
as a long luffing jib in particular will swing considerably when being
raised on account of its tare weight.

G
Risk of accidents from descending luffing jib!
Always unload the luffing jib first before you loosen the pin connections
as described in this section.
You will thus prevent sections of the loaded luffing jib descending and
injuring other people as the connections are being loosened.
Unloading luffing jib
After the luffing jib has been placed on the sheave of the head section it is
under the stress of the tare weight. Before loosening the connections you
must unload the luffing jib as follows:

Now you can telescope out the main jib to the required fixed length and
lock it there.
S
The main boom may buckle during simultaneous rotation!
You must not rotate the superstructure whilst you telescope the main jib
with the rigged lattice extension. If you do rotate this at the same time,
there will be additional sideways forces on the unlocked telescope
section. This side load may become so large that the telescope section
becomes overloaded and buckles.
➠ GMK 6300 Operating instructions - Telescoping with fully automatic control.
When telescoping out let the auxiliary hoist rope become slack and reel
up the auxiliary hoist rope when telescoping in so that the luffing jib
remains in the telescope range.

S
Danger from uncontrolled luffing control arm folding!
Make sure that the luffing control arm is roughly vertical or slightly in-
clined to the front before you lower the boom further. This will prevent
that, in the most unfavourable case, the luffing control arm gets stuck in
its position because of a condition of equilibrium, the auxiliary hoist rope
sags and the luffing control arm falls suddenly and unchecked forwards
into the auxiliary hoist rope or backwards to the backstop.
• Lower the boom further. Make sure that

the luffing control arm remains inclined to-
wards the front. If necessary ease off the
auxiliary hoist rope.
When the angle for the Steepest position

• Lower the main boom further to remove the luffing jib.
G
Risk of accidents owing to the main boom being lowered too far!
At the most, lower the main boom so that the locking pin positions for the
transport pins align with one another. This position can be exceeded when
lowering the boom to the horizontal position, especially with long luffing
jibs. The bendable part of the foot section is pressed against the fixed part;
this causes tension. This tension is released when the pins are driven out;
the unexpected slippage of the luffing jib can injure you or others.

Risk of overturning due to overloading!
During operation with the luffing jib, the telescopic swing-away lattice
may not be folded to the side on the main boom. The weight will not be
taken into account by the SLI, which means there is a danger overturning!
G
Danger of accident from unchecked hoisted hook block!
Move at a very low hoist speed if you have only a light hook block or a
small load hanging on a long luffing jib.
You thus prevent the hook blocks being raised unchecked and the lower
head sheave or hoist rope becoming damaged because of kinetic energy
in the backward main hoist rope whilst braking the main hoist.

G
Danger from slack when operating with the 21 m luffing jib!
Always operate the 21 m luffing jib with the 80 t hook block (weight ap-
prox. 1200 kg) and lower this as far as possible if no load is being hoisted.
In this way, you counteract the backwards torque of the multiple-reeved
auxiliary hoist rope which, in a steep position, especially with the multi-
ple-telescoped main boom, can lead to slack on the auxiliary hoist rope
drum.
Move the auxiliary hoisting gear very slowly and watch to assure that no
slack forms on the the auxiliary hoist rope drum.
Crane movements When operating the luffing jib all crane movements are controlled the
same as when operating the main boom. Some crane movements for
operating the luffing jib are blocked from the crane controls.
– Lifting/lowering the main hoist – Telescoping out/in
– Lifting/lowering auxiliary hoist – Lowering/raising the main jib

(for lowering/raising the luffing
jib)
H
– Slewing
Derricking the main boom is normally blocked. If the main boom leaves
the 70° or 82° position during operation with the luffing jib, the crane con-
trols release the derricking in the direction in which the main boom must
be derricked in order to reach the required 70° or 82° position again. If this
position is reached again, the crane controls block the derricking again.
The working speeds for the crane movements are limited to a maximum
ü of 70 %. You can further reduce the working speeds by inputting the
desired working speed between 0 and 70 % in the Input power unit speeds
display; ➠ GMK 6300 Operating manual - Enter driving gear speed.
If there is an overload, the SLI blocks load-increasing crane movements;

➠ GMK 6300 Operating manual - SLI shut down.
If you derrick the luffing jib out of the permitted working area, the crane
control switches off all movements which would move the luffing jib
further out of this area. The working area and the shutdowns are de-
scribed in more detail in the following section.

Effect of wind Strong winds can overstrain the truck crane. You can find the maximum
when operating permissible wind speeds for the respective rigging modes in the Lifting
with the luffing capacity table. Also observe the information in the section GMK 6300 Operating
jib manual - Effects of wind on crane operation.
G
Risk of accidents if the wind speed is too great!
If the wind exceeds the maximum permissible values in the Lifting capacity
table, crane operation must be stopped and the truck crane must be
brought to the rigging mode which the following table prescribes. This
also applies when the wind surfaces of the load is smaller than the per-
missible specific wind surfaces Aper;

weight and rigged luffing jib.
If the truck crane is equipped with separate steering, Deutsche GROVE

GmbH recommends switching to separate steering when driving on the
construction site at low speeds or when steering at a standstill on the
construction site.
G
Risk of accidents!
It is forbidden to move the truck crane with a suspended load.
G
G
Risk of accident if the truck crane is not completely visible!
While driving the equipped truck crane, always stay in visual or radio
contact with a banksman who additionally observes the parts which you
cannot see (e.g. the raised boom when the superstructure is rotated to
the rear).
In this way you prevent accidents resulting from collisions with persons,
other construction equipment, ledges of buildings, cables or other objects.

The truck crane may only be moved if certain conditions are met. The
boom may have to be moved to a specified position, depending on the
counterweight mounted.
S
When the main boom is completely retracted
• Set the appropriate SLI code for the rigging mode on the safe load
11== indicator. The SLI codes are found in the Lifting capacity table.
• Move the main boom and the luffing jib into the prescribed position.
H
The prescribed boom position can be found in the following tables.
If the SLI shuts down the lowering of the boom before the boom has
reached the prescribed position, you must switch the Operating mode selec-
tor lever to position 1 for rigging.
G
Always set the SLI rigging code when you want to lower the retracted
main boom to under 70°. Do not override the SLI; if the SLI is overridden,
the truck crane works without overload protection!
If the main boom is extended
• Move the main boom and the main jib into the prescribed position.
The prescribed boom position can be found in the following tables.
When the main boom is extended, the SLI releases the lowering of the
boom only to 70°. If you must lower the main boom further in order to
reach the boom positions prescribed in the following tables, you must
override the SLI; ➠ GMK 6300 Operating instructions - SLI override.
S
Only override the SLI if it is absolutely necessary to override it. The truck
crane safe load indicator does not function when the SLI is overridden!

6.11.3 Checking the nitrogen and oil pressure in the M6

backstop
The backstop is installed in the foot section of the luffing jib. There is a
nitrogen and an oil reservoir in the backstop. The foot section with the
backstop must be in transport position to check the nitrogen and oil
pressure (➠ Operating instructions, chapter Luffing jib, section Installation/
removal of the foot section.
G
Risk of accidents!
Never attempt to dismantle the backstop!
The backstop cylinder is under pressure even when the cylinder is
extended completely!
Only have repair work carried out by properly qualified personnel.
G
Risk of accidents!
The gas pressure test must be carried out only by an authorized approved
inspector of pressure tanks or under his supervision or instructions.
Test connections • The connection for checking the nitrogen pressure (1) is located on the
piston rod of the backstop (2).
• The connection for checking the oil pressure (3) is located at the piston
head of the backstop.
18.02.2000

GMK 6300
Luffing jib
H Check the nitrogen pressure and the oil pressure in the backstop simulta-
neously. The two maintenance tasks are described separately only for
reasons of clarity.
Nitrogen pressure
• Use the supplied test manometer to check

the nitrogen pressure in the backstop.
• Remove the seal (1) from the cap nut in the
middle of the test connection and unscrew
the cap nut (2).
• Screw the test manometer onto the test

connection.
• Open the test connection valve. To do this
unscrew the sealing screw (1) anticlock-
wise with a torque wrench.
• Read the nitrogen pressure on the test
manometer. The pressure measured must
correspond to the values specified in the
following table:
18.02.2000

GMK 6300
Luffing jib
Temperature (°C) Gas pressure (bar)
-40 °C 31
-20 °C 33.5
0 °C 36
20 °C 39
40 °C 41.5
If the nitrogen pressure is too low:
• Observe the following instructions for increasing the nitrogen pressure,

i.e. filling with nitrogen.
G
Risk of explosion!
Fill the nitrogen reservoir with nitrogen only!
Do not use any other gas!
• Close the valve of the test connection by tightening the sealing screw
anticlockwise with a torque wrench.
S
Danger when nitrogen bottle pressure is too high!
Install a pressure reducing valve if the pressure in the nitrogen bottle is
greater than the permissible operating overpressure in the nitrogen reser-
voir (see model plate of backstop). Screw the pressure reducing valve
onto the nitrogen bottle connection.
• Connect the filling hose to the nitrogen bott-

le and to the test manometer connection
(1).
If the connection (size W24,32x1/14") to the
filling hose does not fit:
• Use an adapter.
• Bleed the filling hose. To do this, open the
relief valve (3) and the valve at the nitro-
gen bottle for about 10 seconds.
• Close both these valves and open the
valve of the test connection by unscrewing
the sealing screw (1) anticlockwise with a
torque wrench.
18.02.2000

GMK 6300
Luffing jib
• Open the nitrogen bottle slowly and read off the pressure on the test
manometer. The pressure must correspond to the nitrogen filling pres-
sure specified in the table above.
• Close the nitrogen bottle.
• Check the nitrogen pressure again after about 5 minutes. After this
interval temperature equalization has occurred and the pressure will
no longer alter.
If the nitrogen pressure is still too low:
• Fill more nitrogen.

• Also check the pressure in the oil reservoir using the oil pressure test
manometer (➠ section Oil pressure in this chapter). The pressure in the
oil reservoir and the pressure in the nitrogen reservoir must be equal to
the nitrogen filling pressure.
• Close the test connection valve. To do this tighten the sealing screw (2)
clockwise with a torque wrench.
• Depressurize the manometer by opening the relief valve (3) and
unscrewing the manometer.
• Screw the cap nut back on and seal it.
Oil pressure
• Use the supplied hydraulic test manometer

to check the oil pressure in the backstop.
• Loosen the hexagon screw (1) of the cap
(2) and remove it.
If the cap is secured with welding points:
• Remove the welding points.

• Unscrew the knurled sealing nut from the
oil reservoir test connection.
18.02.2000
s
GMK 6300
Luffing jib
• Screw the test manometer (1) onto the test

connection.
• Read off the oil pressure. The pressure
measured must correspond to the nitrogen
filling pressure specified in the table above.
If the oil pressure is too low:
• Observe the following instructions for in-

creasing the oil pressure, i.e. filling with oil.
• Use a conventional portable hydraulic
pump for filling. It is not included in the
scope of delivery.
Only use hydraulic oil as specified in the
S
Danger when operating pressure is too high!
Do not exceed the operating overpressure in the nitrogen reservoir.
Check the pressure in the nitrogen reservoir before increasing the oil
pressure.
• Unscrew the test manometer from the oil reservoir test connection.
• Use a hose to connect the test connection to the pressure connection of
the hydraulic pump. Before connecting the hose, fill it with hydraulic oil.
This prevents air from getting into the oil reservoir.
• Pump in hydraulic oil until the pressure in the oil reservoir corresponds
to the nitrogen filling pressure. For the intermediate pressure measure-
ment which is required, the hose must be removed from the test con-
nection and the test manometer screwed on.
• Finally, check the oil pressure at the test manometer and also check the
pressure in the nitrogen reservoir at the test manometer (see previous
section). The pressure in the oil reservoir and the pressure in the nitro-
gen reservoir must be equal to the nitrogen filling pressure.
• Unscrew the test manometer.
• Close the test connection by screwing on the knurled screw plug and
installing the locking ring at the screw plug.
• Put the cap on and tighten the hexagon screw.

Heavy load lattice extension
7.1 Components and identification
7 Heavy load lattice extension
The heavy load lattice extension may only be operated together with a
GROVE GMK 6300 truck crane whose serial number is identical with the
serial numbers that are marked on all parts from which the heavy load
lattice extension has been assembled.
The heavy load lattice extension is assembled from the folowing

components:
– from the 1 m section (1)

– the boom extension angle piece,
– the head of the boom extension or the
luffing jib.
The serial number (1) of the 1 m section is

on the right at the rear of the grille frame.
You can find the position of the serial

numbers on the other parts in the Operating
manual for the GMK 6300.
Two different combination lengths of 3,5 and 7 m can be assembled from

these components. Head and angle piece are identical with the parts of
the boom extension or, as the case may be, the luffing jib; ➠ Combination
possibilities, p. 7-3.

Installation Using a auxiliary crane, sections of the heavy load lattice extension are
lifted up and locked into place during installation, one after the other.
➠ Slinging points, p. 7-5;
• Using an auxiliary crane, lift the 1 m sec-
tion in front of the pulley head in such a
way that the lower bearing point is aligned
between the main boom head and the 1 m
section and inset the bolts (2).
• Now lift the 1 m section until the upper
eyes in the 1 m section are aligned with
the upper bearing points on the main
boom head.
• Insert the bolts (1) and secure them all
four bolts with the retaining pins.
The other sections are installed in the same way as the 1 m section:
• For the 3,5 m heavy load lattice extension, install the head in front of
the 1 m section.
• For the 7 m heavy load lattice extension, first install the angle piece in
front of the 1 m section and then the head in front of the angle piece.

Removing Proceed in the opposite direction when removing the heavy load lattice
extension:
➠ SSlinging points, p. 7-5;
• Strike the head with an auxiliary crane.
• First, drive out the upper connecting pins
(1) on the bearing point between the head
and the 1 m section (or the angle piece).
• Insert the pins into the holdings intended
for this and secure them with the retaining
pins.
• Release the retaining pins and drive out
the lower connecting pins (2) between the
head and the 1 m section (or angle piece).
The other sections are removed in the same way as the head:
• Remove the 1 m section for the 3,5 m heavy load lattice extension after
the head.
For the 7 m heavy load lattice extension, remove the angle piece first and
then the 1 m section.
18.02.2000

GMK 6300
7.5.4 Angle piece
The 7 m heavy load lattice extension can be operated at angles of 18° or

40° to the main boom. For this the pins on both sides of the angle piece
must be removed from the bores.
The 18° angle comes from the shape of the 1 m section. The angle piece
has to be folded up completely for the 18° angle.
G
Danger of accidents because of faulty fall-back guard strut!
The pendulum of the fall-back guard strut on both sides of the angle
piece has to be able to move freely through out their entire slewing
range.
If the pendulum is not able to move freely over the entire slewing range,
the heavy load lattice extension will not be supported to the rear.
• Check if the pendulum (1) of the backstops

on both sides of the boom extension can
move freely.

extension Telescoping with rigged heavy load lattice extension is (depending on the
length of the heavy load lattice extension) only released between approx.
70° and 82°. For exact specifications, see the respective Lifting capacity

The SLI releases the telescoping only when the main boom is raised up to
the angle at which it is possible to telescope safely with the rigged heavy
load lattice extension.
S
The main boom may buckle during simultaneous slewing!
While you are telescoping the main boom with the rigged heavy load
lattice extension, you may not simultaneously slew the superstructure.
If you do slew this at the same time, there will be additional sideways
forces on the unlocked telescope section. This sideways force can be so
great that the telescope section can be overloaded and may buckle.

After moving with heavy counterweights, the truck crane could be in a rig-
ging situation in which the front outrigger cylinders cannot lift the crane.
S
Danger of causing damage due to axle loads being too high!
Do not lower the main boom if the truck crane is on wheels. If you lower
the boom, the rear axle lines will be overloaded and damaged.
Proceed in the following manner to support the truck crane:
• Move all outrigger beams to the span required for the job.
• Extend the outrigger cylinders until the wheels of the rear axle lines no
longer touch the ground.
• Extend the front outrigger cylinders out as far as the cylinder force
allows.
• Set the code on the SLI for the intended job.
The rear axle lines are now without a load and you can lower the main
boom.
• If need be, slew the superstructure to the rear and lower the completely
folded-up main boom to 30°.
• Extend the outrigger cylinders until none of the wheels is touching the
ground.
• Align the truck crane horizontally with the outrigger.
