The GMK 5170 is a five-axle all terrain crane. It drives on public roads, then sets up on site and works with a telescopic boom. A relief operator taking over the crane needs the operating rules, the control layout and the setup sequence in one place, and that's what this manual gives them.
What this manual helps you do
- Learn the operating elements for driving and for crane operation before you climb into the cab.
- Follow the steps for starting and turning off the engine, for driving and for crane operation.
- Plan the rigging work, including the swing-away lattice, boom extension and the integrated heavy load lattice extension (ISS).
- Check the driving modes and rigging needed for on-road driving, and read up on driving with a rigged crane.
- Read the malfunction sections for driving mode and for crane operation, and keep up with maintenance.
Who this is for
A crane operator or relief operator uses it to learn the controls and the setup order on this specific crane. A fleet manager or rental company keeps it on file so the operating rules and handover information are documented with the machine.
FAQ
Q: What do I receive and how is it organised?
A: You get 7 PDF files, 3,406 pages in total, all in English. The download holds 3 manuals: Publication 3 112 479 en (1,138 pages), Cummins engine / Publication 3 112 532 en (1,134 pages, main manual), and MB engine / Publication 3 112 532 en (1,134 pages).
Q: Which machine does it fit?
A: It is for the Grove GMK 5170. The three manuals are the same GMK 5170 operating instructions in three versions: for cranes with a Cummins engine, for cranes with an MB engine, and for serial 5170_2040. They are crane operating manuals, not engine manuals.
Q: How does it fit my job?
A: Wherever you need the operating instructions for the crane, such as a handover, a used crane that arrived without its book, or a file for the site, this set covers it. You can pick the version that matches your crane's engine or serial.
With the set on file, your operators can work from the right version for each GMK 5170 in the fleet.
