FOREWORD
- This handbook has been compiled to assist you in properly operating and maintaining your Grove Crane. Before placing the crane in service, take time to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the contents of this manual.
- After all sections have been read and understood, retain the manual for future reference in a readily accessible location. The Grove Crane has been designed for maximum performance with minimum maintenance.
- With proper care, years of trouble-free service can be expected. Constant improvement and engineering progress makes it necessary that we reserve the right to make specification and equipment changes without notice.
- Engine operating procedures and routine maintenance procedures are supplied in a separate manual with each crane, and should be referred to for detailed information.
Information in this manual does not replace federal, state, or local regulations, safety codes, or insurance requirements.
Grove remains committed to providing reliable products that enable users and operators to safely lift and position loads. Grove has been an industry leader in the incorporation of operational aids into the design of its cranes. Federal law requires that cranes be properly maintained and kept in good working condition. The manuals that Grove provides that are specific for each crane and the manufacturer’s manuals for the operational aids shall be followed. If an operational aid should fail to work properly, the crane user or owner must assure that repair or recalibration is accomplished as soon as is reasonably possible. If immediate repair or recalibration of an operational aid is not possible and there are exceptional circumstances which justify continued short-term use of the crane when operational aids are inoperative or malfunctioning, the following requirements shall apply for continued use or shutdown of the crane
