GRT8100 OPERATOR MANUAL OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
The engine is electronically controlled by the Electronic
Control Module (ECM); it is the control center of the entire
engine system. The ECM processes all inputs and sends
commands to the fuel systems, vehicle, and engine control
devices. This Operator Manual does not include engine ECM
information. ECM information is in a separate manual by the
engine manufacturer shipped with the crane from the factory.
All controls and indicators to operate and monitor crane
functions are found inside the crane cab (Figure 3-1).

style tilt and telescoping steering column. It can tilt rearward
30° or raise vertically 60 mm (2.3 in). It includes the ignition
switch and other control switches (Figure 3-2).
