•Set down the load.•Set down the load.
•Slew the superstructure so that the main boom creates as little wind resistance as possible.
•Fully retract the main boom.
•Set down the lattice extension.
MalfunctionCauseRemedy
No function of the lifting limit switchLifting limit switch not connectedConnect the lifting limit switch.
Electrical connection between the boom head and lattice extension and between 33 ft (10.1 m) section and 23 ft (7 m) section is not established.
Lifting limit switch on the main boom head not overridden.
When operating with a 56 ft (17.1 m) lattice extension or boom extension, the short-circuit plug is not inserted on the head of the 33 ft (12.5 m) section.
Establishing electrical connection.
Override the lifting limit switch on the main boom head.
Insert short-circuit plug.
The main boom cannot be telescoped with the rigged lattice extension or boom extension.
The lattice extension can not be derricked.
The main boom is derricked to such an angle at which telescoping is not permissible
Derricking gear of the lattice extension is switched off.
Monthly Maintenance Work
Pins
Lubricate all attach, securing and retaining pins, in other words:
- the pins for the pin connection on the lattice extension,
- the retaining pins on the return pulleys,
Derrick the main boom to the required angle.
Switch on the derricking gear of the lattice extension.
- the retaining pins used for fastening the lattice extension sections for transport,
- the spring latch on the run-up rail.
NOTE: The maintenance interval applies to average operation. Also, lubricate the pins after highpressure cleaning and generally at an interval that will prevent them getting dry.

Section 5 Lubrication
Section 5 Lubrication
General
Following the designated lubrication procedures is important in ensuring maximum crane lifetime and utilization. The procedures and lubrication charts in this section include information on the types of lubricants used, the location of the lubrication points, the frequency of lubrication, and other information.
The service intervals specified are for normal operation where moderate temperature, humidity, and atmospheric conditions prevail. In areas of extreme conditions, the service periods and lubricat ion specifications should be altered to meet existing conditions. For information on extreme condition lubrication, contact your local Grove distributor or Manitowoc CraneCARE.
Caution
Chassis grease lubricants must not be applied with air pressure devices as this lubricant is used on sealed fittings.
Caution
The multipurpose grease installed during manufacture is of a lithium base. Use of a noncompatible grease could result in damage to equipment.
Hydraulic Oil Inspection
Environmental and other conditions can dramatically affect the condition of hydraulic oil and filters. Therefore, specific intervals for servicing/changing hydraulic oil, filters and hydraulic tank breathers cannot be set. However, it is imperative for the continued satisfactory performance of Grove cranes that inspections be performed on the basis of how and where each crane is used. Air borne and ingested contaminants can significantly reduce the life of oil and the condition of hydraulic oil filters and tank breathers.
Under normal operating conditions, it is recommended that hydraulic oil, filters and breathers be inspected and oils sampled at least every 3 to 6 months and more frequently for severe operating conditions. The inspections should be for air borne and/or ingested particles and water that deteriorate and contaminate the oil (e.g., oil appears “milky” or no longer has a transparent clear to amber color). The return filter bypass indicator should be observed daily to determine if the contaminants content may be high. If the indicator reaches the red zone or indicates a by-pass condition, the hydraulic oil must be sampled. The hydraulic tank breather should also be inspected to assure that it is not restricting air flow into and out of the reservoir.
To inspect hydraulic oil, fill a small glass container with a sample of reservoir oil and another glass container with fresh oil. Let the samples stand, undisturbed, for one to two hours and then compare the samples. If the reservoir oil is heavily contaminated with water the sample will appear "milky" with only a small layer of transparent oil on top. If the "milky” appearance was due to air foaming, it will dissipate and the oil should closely match the fresh oil. Should you have any questions, please contact your local Grove distributor or Manitowoc CraneCARE.
Arctic Conditions Below -18°C (0°F)
In general, petroleum based fluids developed especially for low temperature service may be used with satisfactory results. However, certain fluids, such as halogenated hydrocarbons, nitro hydrocarbons, and phosphate ester hydraulic fluids, might not be compatible with hydraulic system seals and wear bands.If you are in doubt about the suitability of a specific fluid, check with your authorized Grove distributor or Manitowoc CraneCARE.
NOTE: All fluids and lubricants may be purchased by contacting the Manitowoc CraneCARE Parts Department.
Regardless of temperature and oil viscosity, always use suitable start-up procedures to ensure adequate lubrication during system warm-up.
Arctic Conditions Down To -40°C (-40°F)
ALL WEATHER PACKAGE & LUBRICANTS
Engineering recommends the following lubricants for components that will be operated in ambient temperatures to -40°F. Special lubricants alone are not sufficient to operate at extreme low temperatures. We also recommend the use of appropriately sized heaters for the hydraulic tank, engine oil pan, engine jacket water and batteries. The operator needs to follow the guide lines as stated in the operator's manual. We assume that the customer has taken steps for use of an appropriate engine antifreeze coolant, taken care of the fuel, fuel system and starting system, and has done whatever they feel necessary to add insulation for under hood temperatures and meet the engine manufacture's intake air temperature requirements. Other lubricants may be used if they meet the specifications of the lubricant that is requested. Please consult the factory.
