Keep calm!
Brake the vehicle. Watch the traffic behind you when braking!
Stop at a location that is safe for you, your vehicle and those behind you!
Try to repair the damage yourself. If this is not possible, inform the local
GROVE Product Support or have the vehicle towed away; Towing the
truck crane, p. 7-5.

Risk of accidents when repair work is carried out in the danger area!
In danger area (e. g. tunnel, intersection, highway bridge), even repairs
which are easy to carry out are dangerous.
When in a danger area, only carry out the repair work which is required
to leave the area.

Towing away in
case of motor
damage
If the truck crane has to be towed because of motor damage, just how you
should proceed depends on the length of the towing distance. The factors
to consider are:
towing out of the danger area
towing distance up to 100 km
towing distance over 100 km.
Towing out of the danger area
The following information only applies for towing out of an immediate
area of danger (crossing, tunnel, etc.).
28.01.2000
Tow the truck crane no more than 1 km; for further towing distances;
Towing distance up to 100 km, in the following section.

Risk of accidents!
Check the wheel rim, the tyres, the wheel nuts and the wheel bolts for
damage before mounting the spare wheel.
Never mount damaged parts!
Mount only the manufacturers original spare wheel or a permitted wheel
of the same size and load bearing capacity!
Check whether the surface of the wheel rim and the hub are clean
(no paint, grease or oil).
Grease the wheel bolts slightly.
Put the wheel on the hub vertically.
Extend or retract the outrigger cylinders until the holes in the wheel
rims align with the wheel bolts.
Push the wheel shaking the wheel if necessary onto the wheel bolts.
Ensure that the thread of the wheel bolts is not damaged.
Screw a wheel nut hand-tight on both the upper and lower wheel bolts.

Fuses
Risk of fire!
Never repair a defective fuse with a nail, wire, aluminium foil or other
material which can conduct electricity.
Always replace defective safety devices with safety devices of the indicated ratings.
The fuses are divided into 9 groups F 1 to F 9.
The groups F1 to F6 are located under the
cover at the right next to the front instrument panel and become accessible if you
remove the covering which is shaped into a
placement surface.
Each group consists of 8 fuses.
The following tables show the designations
of the individual fuses, their strength and
function.
The designations 1 to 8 in the tables correspond to the order from top to bottom
(fuse 1 is always the top fuse).

Mechanical emergency shifting to
neutral
When the truck crane is parked in gear and the pressure in the reservoir
falls below 5.5 bar:
the engine can not be started because the transmission is not in neutral
and
the transmission may not be shifted to neutral because the pressure is
below 5.5 bar and
the reservoir may not be filled because the engine is not running.
In this condition, the transmission can be shifted mechanically into
neutral in order to start the engine.
