Hello all!
I have a 1981 Grove RT630 crane that has a dead engine. I need to lower the boom down in order to have it taken from job site. I'm aware that it has a counterbalance valve and am thinking of releasing it while using another crane to hold the boom and lower it down slowly. I wanted to make sure I am doing the correct thing here and loosen the lone screw on the side of the valve in the first picture in order to release the pressure, or if there's a better way of doing this quickly, as I'm required to do this this week.
Thanks
