Alternate Driving Configuration
The Alternate Driving Configuration for the GRT9165 is with
the boom centered over the rear tandem axles.
Before driving the crane in the Alternate Driving Configura-
tion—with the boom centered over the rear tandem axles—
push the Steering Reversal Switch (16, Figure 3-9), located
in the Right Overhead Control Panel, one time to reverse all
driving controls, including the steering wheel control.
The Steering Reversed Indicator in the Alerts Area
(1, Figure 4-74) and Crane Status Area (4, Figure 4-74) of
the Operator Display Module (ODM) comes on to indicate
the steering wheel control is reversed.
In this Alternate Driving Configuration, the steering wheel
continues to turn the wheels of the single axle, which are
now behind the operator. Thus, turning the steering wheel
counterclockwise turns the wheels on the single axle to the
right, which causes the crane to turn left (Figure 3-7).
Turning the steering wheel clockwise turns the wheels on the
single axle to the left
, which causes the crane to turn right
(Figure 3-8).
NOTE: When driving the crane with the boom centered
over the rear tandem axles, the steering axle and
wheels are behind the operator. Thus, the operator
must become familiar with the steering
characteristics of a rear-steering axle, including the
tail-swing of the crane, before driving the crane at
higher speeds and around obstacles.
Before driving the crane, read, understand, and follow the
directions found in these sections of this Operator Manual:
• Steering Wheel, page 3-5
• Standard Driving Configuration, page 3-5
• Alternate Driving Configuration, page 3-6
• Turn Signal Lever and Horn Controls, page 3-6
• Transmission Shift Lever, page 3-8
• Steering Reversal Switch, page 3-14
• Rear Steer Switch, page 3-28
Turn Signal Lever and Horn Controls
The Turn Signal Lever (2, Figure 3-2) is located on the left
side of the steering column. The Horn Control is located on
the end of the Turn Signal Lever.
Push the small button on the end of the turn signal lever to
operate the horn.
