GENERAL
NOTE:
NOTE:
This Operator Manual provides important information for the
operator of the Model RT600E Series Grove Crane.
The rough terrain crane incorporates an all welded steel
frame, using planetary drive axles to provide four-wheel
drive. Axle steering is accomplished utilizing hydraulic steer
cylinders. The engine is mounted at the rear of the crane and
provides motive power through a six speed forward and
three speed reverse transmission. Hydraulic, double box,
sliding beam outriggers are integral with the frame.
The carrier frame incorporates an integral fifth wheel, to
which the rear axle is mounted, to provide axle oscillation.
Axle oscillation lockout is automatic when the superstructure
rotates from the travel position.
The superstructure is capable of 360° rotation in either
direction. All crane functions are controlled from the fully-
enclosed cab mounted on the superstructure. The crane is
equipped with a four-section, cable-synchronized boom.
Additional reach is obtained by utilizing an optional
swingaway boom extension. Lifting is provided by a main
hoist and an optional auxiliary hoist.

carrier frame.
