Grove TMS500E Truck Crane Operator Manual

The Grove TMS500E is a truck crane. It drives to site on its own carrier, sets up on outriggers, and lifts with a telescopic boom. When a used crane arrives without the book in the cab, or a relief operator takes over a machine they haven't run before, this is the manual they reach for to get the controls, the setup sequence and the operating rules in front of them before the first lift.

What this manual helps you do

• Read the controls and instruments so you know what each switch, gauge and warning light is telling you.
• Follow the setup sequence for setting up on outriggers before you raise the boom.
• Plan each lift using the load charts and load moment limiter.
• Operate the telescopic boom and jib, with hoisting and slewing, within the rules the manual sets out.
• Check the crane over and complete preparing for travel before you move off.

Who this is for

A crane operator or relief operator uses it as the reference in the cab, to confirm a control or a step instead of guessing. An operator trainer uses it to build a new operator's knowledge in the same order the machine is run: controls, setup, lifting, travel.
