Axles
Warm-up Procedures for Temperatures Below -35°C
(-30°F):
1. Setup crane on outriggers.
2. Engage transmission with four-wheel drive selected and
allow crane to run at idle until transmission sump
temperature reaches normal operating temperature.
NOTE: Warm-up operation of four-wheel drive
transmission engaged in two-wheel drive only
could cause transmission damage.
Hydraulic Oil System
Operating Limits and Warm-up Procedures:
NOTE: Ambient temperatures between -10°C and -40°C
(15°F and -40°F) require the use of a cold weather
hydraulic oil (refer to cold weather lubricants in the
section Maintenance and Lubrication, page 6-1).
With cold weather hydraulic oil installed, warming
the hydraulic oil before operating the crane is not
required.
• Hydraulic Oil Temperatures from 4°C to -10°C (40°F
to 15°F): Crane operation, less hoist, without
a load is
allowed with medium engine speed and medium
function speed (controller position) until fluid reaches at
least 10°C (50°F). It is then recommended that all crane
functions be cycled to remove cold fluid from all
components and cylinders of the hydraulic system. If
any unusual sound comes from the crane’s hydraulic
pumps or motors, stop operation and engine
immediately and contact a Grove distributor.
• Hydraulic Oil Temperatures from 10°C to 4°C (50°F
to 40°F): Crane operation, less hoist, with
a load is
allowed with medium engine speed and medium
function speed (controller position) until fluid reaches at
least 10°C (50°F).
• Hydraulic Oil Temperatures from 95°C to 10°C (200°F
to 50°F): Crane operation with a load is allowed with no
restrictions.
Hydraulic oil temperature above 95°C (200°F): No crane
operation is allowed. Let hydraulic oil cool by running engine
at idle with no functions actuated.
DRIVING THE CRANE
Seat Belts
1. Before fastening the seat belt, always adjust driver’s
seat to position in which you will drive.
2. Pull belt across your lap and push latch plate (2) into

Traveling — General
Owner/lessee must take appropriate measures to make sure
all persons operating or working with affected models are in
compliance with Grove U.S. L.L.C. recommendations.
Operator of the crane assumes responsibility for determining
suitability of traveling conditions. Traveling under controlled
conditions, specified in these guidelines, must be conducted
with the utmost diligence and care to make sure safety of all
personnel performing the operation and/or working around
the crane.
When driving on roadways, the operator must follow all
applicable regulations and/or restrictions.
Although Rough Terrain cranes are specifically designed for
rough terrain, the operator should be extremely cautious and
aware of terrain operating conditions.
WARNING
Accidental Operation Hazard!
Before traveling, make sure all crane functions are fully
disabled by pressing the Crane Function Enable/Disable
Switch. Disabling the crane functions will prevent
accidental operation of the craning functions due to hitting
the controllers while traveling.
