Grove TM500E-2 Truck Crane Service Manual

A truck crane like the TM500E-2 drives to site on its own carrier, sets up on outriggers and goes to work lifting. When it's down with a hydraulic leak, a slewing fault or an electrical gremlin, somebody has to fix it in the shop or the yard. That's who reaches for the service manual: the tech who needs the procedure, not the guesswork.

What this manual helps you do

• Troubleshoot hydraulic system faults by following the test and diagnostic steps a service manual like this usually gives.
• Remove and rebuild components in the boom and hoist, or in superstructure and slewing, with the disassembly and reassembly order laid out.
• Adjust controls, valves and linkages using the procedures in the maintenance and adjustment sections.
• Trace electrical system problems from the cab and controls back to the source.
• Replace engine and drive train or carrier chassis and axles components without working from memory.

Who this is for

Crane service technicians, rental fleet mechanics and independent repair shops running a TM500E-2 out of warranty. It also suits a dealer technician or plant maintenance crew who inherited a crane with no paperwork.
