A lifting diagram is included to describe over side, over rear,
and over front lifting areas. The lifting area diagram shows
that the locations of the outrigger jack cylinders in the fully
extended position are used to mark the boundaries of the
lifting areas.
A boom extension capacity chart and notes are included to
list the capacities for the extension length, load radius, and
boom angle.
Another section contains the notes for lifting capacities. Be
sure to read and understand all the notes concerning lifting
capacities.
The load chart also gives weight reductions for Grove load
handling devices such as hook blocks, headache balls,
boom extensions, etc., which must be taken into
consideration as part of the load. Remember, the weight of
any other load handling devices such as chains, slings, or
spreader bars must be added to the weight of the load.
Counterweight Installation/Removal
Refer to Figure 3-111.
The lifting cylinders (1) can be:

- turned to the positions Unlocked (A) or Locked (B).
To lift and lower the counterweight, the lifting cylinders have
