Page 20 NEVER OPERATE GTC-1600 WHEN TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS Never operate the GTC-1600 when you are tired or when you are under the influence of intoxicants and/or narcotics. If you are sleep deprived or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, your judgment and attention are compromised—making you a hazard to yourself and others.
Page 21 NEVER OPERATE GTC-1600 DURING INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE Never operate the GTC-1600 during inspection or maintenance. When a warning tag is hung on a door or joystick, never operate the GTC-1600 until the warning tag is removed by the maintenance technician. Operation during inspection or maintenance can cause bodily injury or damage to the GTC-1600.
Page 22 CONFIRM SAFE CONDITIONS AROUND GTC-1600 BEFORE STARTING ENGINE Before starting the engine, always sound the horn to alert anyone around the GTC-1600. Confirm there are no people or obstacles under or around the GTC-1600 before starting the engine. If you start the engine without confirming safe conditions around the GTC-1600, damage, injury, or death may occur.
Page 23: Precautions During Operation
PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION CHECK WORK SITE CONDITIONS Always pay close attention to the surrounding conditions when operating the GTC-1600. Watch for any changes in the surroundings during work. Before starting work, check the location where the GTC-1600 will operate. Check the crane passageways, for the presence of obstacles, how other machines are set up, etc..
Page 24 USE SUFFICIENT ILLUMINATION AT NIGHT Always use work lights when working at night so that you can clearly see the movements of the GTC-1600 and lifted load. Install additional lights to illuminate the areas surrounding the GTC-1600. In a dark, unlit area, people and obstacles around the GTC-1600 cannot be easily seen, which increases the risk of accidents.
Page 25 USE SAFETY DEVICES CORRECTLY Always use the safety devices (for example, the automatic moment limiter) as instructed in this manual. Damage to the GTC-1600 or an overturning accident could result from safety devices that are used incorrectly or with functions obstructed.
Page 26 Lift the load vertically and stop when the load is several inches above the ground to stop the sway of the load. • Confirm the rigging is satisfactory, the load is securely held at the position, and the GTC-1600 is not overloaded. Then, continue lifting.
Page 27 Never lift objects driven into the ground such as poles, piles, trees, or objects buried in mud or sand. Lifting buried objects can apply an unexpected load to the GTC-1600. This load can damage the GTC-1600 or cause an overturning accident.
Page 28 BE CAREFUL TO AVOID COLLISIONS WITH STRUCTURES NEARBY When moving a lifted load, do not allow the GTC-1600 or the load to collide with a building or other structure. In a site with many such obstacles, post a signal person and follow the instructions from the signal person to prevent a collision.
Page 29 Always check the weight and center of gravity of the load before operation, and decide the lifting method accordingly. Never lift a structure during demolition work if its weight and center of gravity are unknown. Figure 17: Use care with demolition work GTC-1600 Operation Manual—US 99600151358_A 1-13 © Copyright 2021–2022...
Page 30 Always be careful when lifting a long load. The load can turn and collide with rigging workers, the GTC-1600, or structures around the GTC-1600. Attach guide rope(s) to one or both ends of the load to maintain its position and prevent it from turning or swaying.
Page 31 Always arrange the work procedure to minimize the load lifting duration. USE GTC-1600 ONLY FOR THE SPECIFIED PURPOSES Always use the GTC-1600 for its specified application of lifting objects. Never use the GTC-1600 for other applications, such as pushing an object with the boom.
Page 32 AVOID SIDEWAYS PULLING, DIAGONAL LIFTING, AND PULLING IN OF LOAD Never forcibly pull in a load that lies out of the load radius. Move the GTC-1600 close to the load, and lift it vertically. It is very dangerous to pull a load sideways, to lift it diagonally or to pull in a load. Such operations damage the boom, jib, and swing mechanism, and they may also overturn the GTC-1600.
Page 33 Always pay attention to the following points during a boom lift operation with the jib mounted. • Never lift individual loads using the boom and jib at the same time. The boom and jib can be damaged, and the GTC-1600 can overturn.
Page 34 GTC-1600. • The longer the boom and the larger the load, the more the wind will affect GTC-1600 operation. • Stop crane operation if you cannot control the load because of strong wind.
Page 35 STOP OPERATION WHEN THERE IS RISK OF LIGHTNING STRIKE Always stop operation, stow the boom and leave the GTC-1600 when there is a risk of a lightning strike. If the GTC-1600 is struck by lightning, the GTC-1600 can be damaged and the operator and workers around it can be injured. If the GTC-1600 is struck by lightning, stay in the cab to avoid another lightning strike.
Page 36 • Never allow workers on the ground to touch the GTC-1600 or a lifted load. If it is necessary to control a lifted load, attach a dry fiber rope to the load as a guide rope to prevent a load from turning and swaying.
Page 37 GTC-1600 is at least the minimum required distance from the power lines (Table 2). If the GTC-1600 is not on fire and no arc is passing through the cab but the GTC-1600 cannot be detached from the power lines, wait in the operator cab until the power is shut off.
Page 38 When operating the GTC-1600, take preventative measures such as wearing rubber gloves to avoid electric shocks and burns. Induction current is generated in the structural part of the GTC-1600 near high-power radio wave generating sources. Induction current may cause electric shock by electrification or burns from heated GTC-1600 parts, such as the hook block.
Page 39: Safety Instructions
If the operator’s field of vision is impaired by obstacles, he may only move the GTC-1600 or the load with the help of an assistant, determined in advance, to give him appropriate instructions.

Page 81: Chapter 4: Assembly From Transport
The GTC-1600 will need to be assembled at the work site before operation can begin. Never prepare the GTC-1600 for the work site on uneven, loose ground. Always prepare on a flat, level, hard surface. Do NOT allow unauthorized personnel in the assembly/disassembly area. The GTC-1600 can tip, causing serious injury or death.
Page 82 The assembly procedures detailed in this section assume the use of the carbody jack system. If an additional crane or lifting device is used to remove any of the following items, it must be able to handle the lifting capacities of these components: Table 9: GTC-1600 removable component weights Weight Trailer...
Page 83: Unload Gtc-1600 From Trailer
UNLOAD GTC-1600 FROM TRAILER Always park the trailer on a hard, flat, level surface, before unloading the GTC-1600, to prevent the crane from tipping.

Page 112: Starting The Engine
At temperatures of 0 °F (-18 °C) or below, using a starting aid and/or block heater will greatly improve engine starting. The GTC-1600 is equipped with hydraulic oil warming functionality. The temperature of stored bulk oil is not reflected in the temperature shown on the MFD, but is available on another page. Use caution when operating before sufficient warm-up—cold oil can cause GTC-1600 hydraulic functions to operate sluggishly.
Page 113: Standard Engine Control
When the throttle potentiometer is in the far counterclockwise position, adaptive throttle is selected. The engine speed will automatically adjust when the GTC-1600 is operated, according to the operation load and operating amount. For example, if one function is operated at a low to medium speed, the engine speed will remain at low idle. However, as the function speed is increased or multiple functions are operated, the engine speed will increase.
Page 114: Stopping The Engine
Repair any leaks, perform minor adjustments, tighten loose bolts, etc. If the GTC-1600 will be left unattended for an extended period of time (overnight or over a weekend, for example), turn OFF the battery disconnect switch. This will help prevent unauthorized use of the GTC-1600 and/or accidental battery discharge.

Page 183: Cold Weather Operation
Be aware of these fuel values when purchasing your diesel fuel and anticipate the average outside (ambient) temperature for the area where your GTC-1600 will be operating. Engines fueled in one climate may not operate satisfactorily if moved to another because of problems that result from cold weather.
Page 184: Boom Telescope Operating Temperature
When the hydraulic oil temperature lowers, its viscosity increases and the operating speed of the boom pins decrease. The GTC-1600 automatically monitors the operating speed of the boom pins, and can adjust the operating speed of the telescope cylinder when the pins are inserted or removed in cold temperatures. When the monitor senses the ambient temperature is below the predetermined threshold, the GTC-1600 goes into cold weather telescope mode.
Page 186: Chapter 7: Maintenance And Inspection
NEVER operate the GTC-1600 in an enclosed area without proper ventilation. NEVER block windows, vents, or other means of ventilation if the GTC-1600 is operating in an enclosed area.
