• Press the service brake pedal (1) for the slewing gear brake down and hold
it down.
• Move the control lever slowly to the end stop and wait until the pressure
in the hydraulic circuit has risen to approx. 200 bar (approx. 2,900 psi).
– If the superstructure does not slew, the braking force of the slewing
gear brake is adequate.
– If the superstructure slews, the slewing gear brake is defective and
must be repaired immediately by
Manitowoc Crane Care or an
authorised GROVE dealer.
• Switch the slewing gear off and switch the engine off.
