Bleeding the
hydraulic system
If the steering is “spongy” during the test run, you must bleed the hydraulic
system at the steering cylinders.
Preparations – The truck crane must be raised on outriggers; à Manual de instrucciones.
– The parking brake must be applied.
Bleed the steering cylinders individually,
one after the other
• Start the engine.
• Bleed each steering cylinder (2) by loosen-
ing each of the collar nuts (1) in turn, until
the oil coming out no longer contains air
bubbles.
If the steering system is still not operating
properly
• Notify Manitowoc Crane Care or an author-
ised GROVE dealer or an authorised special-
ist workshop.
G
Risk of crushing from turning wheels.
When working between the wheels ensure that the steering wheel cannot
be turned by an unauthorised person. The wheels turn when the steering
wheel is operated.
G
Risk of accidents from high oil pressure
Never undo the hose connections completely. The hydraulic system
is under pressure, even when the steering wheel is not turned.
