Gradall 534B (9020-7317) Service Manual - Manual (Page 93)

The crowd circuit allows the operator to extend and
retract the boom sections a total of 18 feet. Nine foot
extension is obtained from the movement of a
hydraulic cylinder joined to the first section and the
second section. Movement of the 2nd section and a
combination of cables and sheaves moves the 3rd
section.
The control lever is the same as used to raise and
lower the boom, but for the crowd the operator
moves it to the right and left. Moving it to the right
extends the booms and moving it to the left retracts
the booms.
Oil from the 3rd valve section routes the oil to the
base of the crowd cylinder. A counterbalance valve
is used on the cylinder for protection and speed
control.
