OPERATING PROCEDURES GRT9165 OPERATOR MANUAL
4-50 Published 7-23-2020, Control # 668-02
Load = 36.0 (a higher load than above)
Length = 150.0
A new table of available boom configurations can appear
and a new selection can be made and sent to the Semi-auto
telescoping mode.
Finally, if it is desired to keep lifts within a criterion such as
75% of the maximum values for the load chart data, then the
search can be based on a modified hook load. The modified
hook load value would be the hook load divided by the
decimal value for the desired limitation such as the following:
P
modified
= P / 0.75
For example, if hook load is 10,000 lbs, and 0.75 is the
modification desired, then the value to enter on the Boom
Configurator screen would be the following:
P
modified
= 10,000 / 0.75
P
modified
= 13,333
Thus, enter the value of 13.5 klbs for the Boom Configurator.
Lowering and Raising the Main Hoist Rope
NOTE: When load is stopped at desired height, the
automatic brake will engage and hold the load as
long as the controller remains in neutral.
Lowering the Main Hoist Rope
Dual Axis Controllers
1. Press the Main Hoist Enable/Disable Switch on right
armrest to enable the main hoist function.
The Main Hoist Enable Indicator in the Status Bar area
(Figure 4-80) of the ODM will come on (green).
2. Push controller on right armrest forward and hold to
lower the main hoist rope.
3. When hook block/overhaul ball gets to the desired
height, let controller return to the center (neutral)
position to stop lowering the main hoist rope.
NOTE: When the main hoist controller is pushed forward to
lower the rope, the Hoist Rotation Indicator (27,
Figure 3-17) pulses and the Main Hoist Lower
Indicator (Figure 4-80) comes on to indicate to the
operator that the main hoist is operating.
Single Axis Controller (Optional)
1. Press the Main Hoist Enable/Disable Switch on right
armrest to enable the main hoist function.
The Main Hoist Enable Indicator in the Status Bar area
(Figure 4-80) of the ODM will come on (green).
2. Push outer controller on right armrest forward and hold
to lower the main hoist rope.
3. When hook block/overhaul ball gets to the desired
height, let controller return to the center (neutral)
position to stop lowering the main hoist rope.
NOTE: When the main hoist controller is pushed forward to
lower the rope, the Hoist Rotation Indicator
(5, Figure 3-25) pulses and the Main Hoist Lower
Indicator (Figure 4-80) comes on to indicate to the
operator that the main hoist is operating.
Raising the Main Hoist Rope
DANGER
Crushing Hazard!
Keep area beneath load clear of all obstructions and
personnel when lowering or raising rope (load).
DANGER
Crushing Hazard!
Do not jerk controller when starting or stopping hoist.
Jerking controller causes load to bounce, which could
result in possible damage to the crane.
DANGER
Two-Block Hazard!
To avoid death or serious injury, keep load handling
devices away from the tip of the boom or boom extension
when extending or lowering the boom and when hoisting
up.
