GENERAL
Throughout this Operator Manual, reference is made to left,
right, front, and rear when describing locations. These
reference locations are to be considered as those viewed
from the operator seat with the superstructure facing forward
over the front of the carrier frame.
This Operator Manual provides important information for the
operation of the Model GRT9165 Grove Crane.
The GRT9165 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 to provide six-wheel steering:
• 2-wheel front
• 4-wheel rear
• 6-wheel coordinated
• 6 wheel crab
The GRT9165 Grove crane can be driven in the Standard
Driving Configuration—with the boom centered over the front
single axle (Figure 1-1) or, in the Alternate Driving
Configuration—with the boom centered over the rear tandem
axles (Figure 1-2).
These two driving configurations, along with Rear Steering
and Steering Reversal features, enable easy crane
positioning, and precise maneuvering on the jobsite. These
features assist the operator, and provide smooth control of
the crane when reversing the driving controls and changing
crane direction of travel.
The GRT9165 introduces the new wider full vision cab,
designed with operator comfort, visibility and productivity
in mind.
Standard features include:
• Tilt/telescoping steering wheel
• Electronic seat adjustments, high output heating and air
conditioning system
