Day #1 will include a tour of the different GMK CCS carrier systems using basic theory of operation along with pneumatic and hydraulic schematics covering steering, suspension and outriggers. Day #2 will include a tour of the different GMK CCS superstructure systems using basic theory of operation along with hydraulic schematics covering basic crane functions, telescoping systems, swing systems and auxiliary functions. Day #3 will begin with a study of the GMK CCS operating system to include basic theory of operation of the CCS CANBus system. Additionally, the carrier and superstructures electrical systems will be covered with emphasis on navigation of GMK SEE schematics to include an explanation of CCS module supplies, inputs and outputs. Day #4 the students will practice hands on a crane what they learned during the week about basic theory of operation of the carrier and superstructure. Hands on will include component locations, display operations and basic crane functions and operation.
Customer GMK ECOS
Dates: July 30 - August 3, 2018
Pre-requisite: Crane System Theory
Required items: Laptop
Description: This 4 ½ day course assumes the student has completed all prerequisites and has basic crane knowledge. The program begins with a review of GMK terminology and technology used on Generation # 1 & # 2 ECOS models. The program will also include an explanation of schematic symbols used on GMK system drawing, with emphasis on ELAN & SEE electrical schematics. Day #1 and #2 will include a systems tour of the typical Generation #1 carrier and ECOS superstructure systems using pneumatic, hydraulic, and ELAN electrical schematic format. The basic theory of operation of a Generation #1 ECOS machine will be covered, including a detailed explanation of each circuit. Emphasis will be placed on the boom telescope Twin Lock system. Day #3 will begin with a study of a typical Generation # 2 ECOS model beginning with the carrier system similarities as compared to Generation #1 machines. Day #4 will continue with the study of Generation # 2 superstructure systems with emphasis on basic function of each circuit from a hydraulic and electrical point of view.
Customer Grove CCS
Dates: September 10 - 14, 2018
Pre-requisite: Crane System Theory
Required Items: Laptop
Description: This 4 ½ day course assumes the student has completed all prerequisites and has basic crane knowledge. The program begins with a review of Crane terminology and technology used on Grove Domestic CCS models. The program will also include an explanation of schematic symbols used on Grove system drawings, with emphasis on electrical and hydraulic schematics. Models covered will be the RT 530,540, GRT 880 8100 GRT655 and the TMS 9000-2. Day #1 will include an overview of the Schematic symbols and terminology Hydraulically. An understanding of the hydraulic circuits on the machine will be explained utilizing the specific machines schematics. Day #2 will include an in depth Look at the actual CCS components and what makes the system unique electrically. From there we will venture into the electrical symbols and schematics of the specific machines. Day #3 will begin with a study of the CCS operating system to include basic theory of operation of the CCS CAN Bus system and how the different bus devices communicate. Additionally, the carrier and superstructures electrical systems will be covered with emphasis on navigation of schematics to include an explanation of CCS module supplies, inputs and outputs. Day 3 will tie the entire system together for the technician showing how the CCS control system electrically and hydraulically is truly controlling the crane. Day #4 the students will practice hands on a crane what they learned during the week about basic theory of operation of the carrier and superstructure. Hands on will include component locations, display operations and basic crane functions and operation.
Customer Grove HED & PAT
Dates: October 8 - 12, 2018
Pre-requisite: Crane System Theory
Required items: Laptop
Description: This 4-day course assumes basic operational knowledge of Grove domestic cranes and covers domestic Rough Terrain and Truck Mount units to include non CANBus and early version CANBus cranes and does not cover the TMS9000E or RT9150E models. This class also covers the LMI systems for this era of machines. Classroom programs covering Grove crane hydraulic systems, electrical systems and schematics will give the students a working knowledge of a Grove crane and the foundation to learn proper troubleshooting techniques and hydraulic test procedures. Hands-on sessions are conducted to reinforce classroom studies.
