Section 1 INTRODUCTION
This Handbook provides informatlon for the operators of the Model TMS 7008 Series Grove Crane.
The lift capacities are listed on the Load Chart in the cab.
The mobile hydraulic crane incorporates an all welded triple-box steel frame. The 8x4 carrier utilizes two non--clrive steer axles and two drive axles. A hydraulic steer cylinder is mounted on each steer axle. The engine is mounted in the front of the carrier and provides motive power through the 13 speed forward and 3 speed reverse transmission.
Hydraulic, double box, sliding beam outriggers are integral with the carrier frame. A center front stabilizer cylinder is also incorporated in the carrier frame.
The superstructure is capable of 360 degree 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, sequenced boom with a cable synchronized fly section. Additional reach is obtained by utilizing one of two optional boom extensions; a 32 foot (9.75 m) fixed length offsettable swingaway and a 32 to 56 foot (9.75 to 17.07 m) offsettable telescoping swingaway. Lifting is provided by a main hoist and an optional auxiliary hoist.
NOTE
Throughout this handbook, reference is made to left, right, front, and rear when describing locations. When operating the crane from the carrier, these reference locations are to be considered as those viewed from the operator's seat with the superstructure facing forward over the front of the carrier frame.
