EKS 5 Adjustment Instructions General Note All of the drive units of the crane must be functioning. The hydraulics, ECOS and RCI control systems are pre-adjusted with standard values. Connecting the change-over box Switch off ignition Unscrew protective cover on the right at the bottom of the crane operators cab. Connect change-over box (part No. 03056586) to the 15-pin (EKS/RCI) diagnostic plug connection in the crane operators cab. Fig. GROVE change-over box in crane operators cab Attention! Pay attention to the description of the diagnostic plugs in older cranes! As the RCI is not functioning during the adjusting process, particular care is required when operating the crane. Pay particular attention to the hoist limit switch and outrigger and ensure that the counterweight is sufficient.
