PDF Operating Manual Grove GMK 4100L-1 Crane Lattice Extension - 3 MB
This operating manual is specifically for the lattice extension of the powerful Grove GMK 4100L-1 mobile crane.
Proper setup and operation of the extension are critical for safety and achieving maximum lift capacity at height.
The manual provides essential load charts, assembly instructions, and safety protocols that every operator must know.
It guides you through pre-operation checks and correct handling procedures.
Adhering to these factory-approved guidelines ensures the safety of the crew and the integrity of the lift.
Don't operate your crane's lattice extension without this vital information.

5.4.1 Securing the swing-away lattice with guide ropes
G
Risk of accidents due to sections swinging of their own accord!
Always fasten a guide rope to the sections being swung before you unlock
or separate the connections.
An extra person must keep the guide rope tightly tensioned or you must
fasten the guide rope so that the sections cannot slew unintentionally when
the necessary connections are unlocked or separated.
(A) β For pivoting onto the main boom
β’ Attach the guide rope to the strap pipe (1).
β’ Feed the guide rope under the swing-away
lattice and through the rope guide (2).
(B) β For pivoting in front of the main boom
head
β’ Attach the guide rope to the strap pipe (1).

5.5 Operation with swing-away lattice
5.5.5 Procedure if permissible wind speed is exceeded
G
Risk of accidents at excessively high wind speeds!
If the current wind speed is higher than the maximum permissible wind
speed, cease crane operation immediately and set up the corresponding
rigging mode.
This will prevent the truck crane from overturning due to overload.
β’ Prior to and during crane operation, check whether the current wind
speed is lower than the maximum permissible wind speed.
β’ Make sure that you follow the instructions for checking the wind speed;
Γ Lifting capacity table and Operating Instructions GMK 4100L-1.
If the maximum permissible wind speed is exceeded
An automatic shutdown does not occur if the maximum permissible wind
speed is exceeded.
β’ Immediately cease crane operation.
β’ Put the truck crane into the rigging mode specified for the current wind
speed in the Lifting capacity table.

5.7 Finding and eliminating malfunctions
Releasing telescoping
β’ Select the symbol (3).
β’ Press button (1) or (2) sufficiently often until
the symbol (4) is displayed.
Telescoping is now released and will be
performed when you move the control lever.
Automatic swinging is disabled β warning
message (5).
Telescoping is released until the telescoping
mechanism or the ignition is switched off.
The symbol (5) Automatic swinging disabled is
also shown as a warning message in the main
menu.
Retract If the automatic swinging malfunction occurred while telescoping the main
boom out, then first check that the swing-away lattice is swung out before
telescoping in. If necessary, use emergency operation to swing the swing-
away lattice outwards before telescoping in.
β’ Telescope the main boom in completely and lock the main boom. Lock the
telescoping cylinder in telescopic section VI.
After telescoping in After telescoping in you must swing the swing-away lattice onto the main
boom and disable telescoping.
