1.4 Organizational measures
The operating instructions and the lifting capacity table should be kept in
the truck crane for immediate access at all times and must not be remo-
ved from the truck crane. You need to have read and understood the ope-
ration and safety instructions in these operating instructions and to com-
ply with them when working.
In addition to the operating instructions and the lifting capacity table,
observe all general, statutory and otherwise applicable regulations con-
cerning accident prevention and environmental protection. You must
have read and understood these and work accordingly.

Note the operational organization on the site. Report your arrival to site
management. Ask for the personnel authorized to issue instructions.
Familiarize yourself with the location and operation of the fire extinguis-
hers 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 man-
ner that safety is affected or if you doubt the truck craneïs operating safe-
ty, stop the machine immediately and inform the appropriate responsible
persons.
Do not modify any programs in programmable control systems (e.g. the SLI).
Do not modify or mount attachments to the truck crane without the con-
sent of the manufacturer, if such changes could affect the safety of the
unit. This also applies to
– installing safety devices,
– setting 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 at the prescribed intervals or have them
replaced, even if no safety defects are noticeable.
Replacement parts must fulfill 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 con-
dition of the truck crane carefully using the check lists in the operating in-
structions. Do not assume that everything is in working order simply
because it was in working order when work was last completed.
Each day, before you start to work with the crane, check that all covers
and safety devices are correctly fitted and that they are all in a proper
working condition.
Check the safety devices each day before beginning work (SLI, lifting limit
switch, dead man’s switch, emergency stop switch for crane control).
Use the appropriate access aids when carrying out overhead rigging or
maintenance work. Do not use parts of the crane as access aids.
Walk 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 mark 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 cable
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.
Ensure that the truck crane is horizontally aligned before carrying out
crane work.
Only use equipment (counterweight sections, lattice extensions) that be-
longs 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.
When work is interrupted, always put the load down and never leave the
truck crane if a load is raised.
Lock the truck crane when you leave the cab to prevent unauthorised use.
Crane work carried out in the vicinity of electric cables as well as oil, gas
and other supply lines is dangerous and requires that special precau-
tionary measures be taken. Please refer to the section titled Crane operation
under special operating conditions in the Safety Manual and observe the rele-
vant national regulations.
Always check if all other required connections are established, before you
loosen a connection between the lattice extension and main boom or a
connection between the lattice extension sections during rigging or unrig-
ging work. Never loosen all the connections.

1.7 The units of measurement in US units
These operating instructions use mainly metric units of measurement.
Should you be working in a country that uses US units of measurement,
refer to the following table for a comparison of the units.
– the first column shows the units of measurement as used in these in-
structions;
– the second column shows the converted units of measurement, which
are also used in the lifting capacity tables;
– the third column shows the rounded values which are used for better
legibility if both units of measurement are stated (in Chapter 2, Trans-
port dimensions and weights and in the diagrams showing the compo-
sition of the individual lattice extensions.
