TMS9000-2 OPERATOR MANUAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
Published 02-21-2019, Control # 611-05
Engine Coolant
Check the coolant level in the radiator; fill to the proper level.
Do not overfill. Check the cap for security.
Batteries
Currently some cranes use maintenance-free type batteries.
When applicable, check the state-of-charge indicator on
these type batteries. On cranes not using the maintenance-
free batteries, check each cell for the correct electrolyte
level. Add only clean, distilled water. Do not overfill. On either
type battery, ensure the cables and clamps are tight and not
corroded.
Hydraulic Reservoir and Filter
Check the hydraulic level sight gauge and filter condition
indicator on the hydraulic tank. Hydraulic fluid should be at
normal operating temperature and the boom and outriggers
in a retracted position.
Check breather for cleanliness and security.
Wire Rope
Inspect the wire rope in accordance with applicable Federal
Regulations. Sheaves, guards, guides, drums, flanges, and
any other surfaces that come in contact with the rope should
be inspected for any condition that could cause possible
damage to the rope.
Hook Block and Headache Ball
Inspect for nicks, gouges, cracks, and evidence of any other
damage. Replace a hook that has cracks or shows evidence
of excessive deformation of the hook opening (including
twist). Be sure the safety latch is free and aligned.
Seats
Adjust seat and mirrors for clear vision and safe driving.
Seat Belts
Seat Belt Maintenance
Seat belt assemblies are maintenance-free; however, they
should be periodically inspected to ensure that they have not
become damaged and they remain in proper operating
condition, particularly if they have been subjected to severe
stress.
Cleaning Seat Belt Webbing
To clean the webbing, wash with any mild soap or detergent.
Do not clean seat belts with commercial solvents. Also,
bleaching or re-dyeing the webbing is not recommended
because of possible loss of webbing strength.
Signal and Running Lights
Check all signal and running lights for proper operation.
Replace burned out lamps with those of the same number, or
equivalent.
Service and Parking Brakes
Check for proper operation.
Tires
Check pressure and condition of all tires before starting.
NOTE: For tire inflation pressures, refer to the Tire Inflation
Decal on the crane.
Wheels
Maintain proper torque on wheel lugs and check for proper
wheel mounting.
Other Equipment
Check all lights, windshield wipers, washers, washer liquid
supply, horn, instruments, signaling devices, etc.
Daily Lubrication
Ensure all components requiring daily lubrication have been
serviced. (Refer to Lubrication, page 5-1).
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
The following recommendations are for operating Grove
cranes in regions with ambient temperatures below -9°C
(15°F) which are considered arctic.
NOTE: Additional information regarding cold weather
operation is available through your Cummins
WARNING
Inhalation/Irritation Hazard!
Ammonia vapors can irritate mucous membranes, skin
and eyes.
Use caution when opening the DEF tank in high ambient
temperatures as ammonia vapor can be released. Avoid
breathing vapors or allowing vapors to contact face and
skin.
CAUTION
Machine damage!
DEF can cause corrosion of these surfaces. Clean up
spilled DEF with water immediately.
