RT9130E SERVICE MANUAL LUBRICATION
SECTION 9
LUBRICATION
GENERAL
Following the designated lubrication procedures is important
in ensuring maximum crane lifetime and utilization. The
procedures and lubrication charts in this section include
information on the types of lubricants used, the location of
the lubrication points, the frequency of lubrication, and other
information.
LUBRICATION INTERVALS
The service intervals specified are for normal operation
where moderate temperature, humidity, and atmospheric
conditions prevail. In areas of extreme conditions, the
service periods and lubrication specifications should be
altered to meet existing conditions. For information on
extreme condition lubrication, contact your local Grove
distributor or Manitowoc Crane Care.
Lube intervals are to be used as a guideline only. Actual lube
intervals should be formulated by the operator to correspond
accordingly to conditions such as continuous duty cycles
and/or hazardous environments.
ARCTIC CONDITIONS
Arctic Conditions - Below -18°C (0°F)
In general, petroleum based fluids developed especially for
low temperature service may be used with satisfactory
results. However, certain fluids, such as halogenated
hydrocarbons, nitro hydrocarbons, and phosphate ester
hydraulic fluids, might not be compatible with hydraulic
system seals and wear bands. If you are in doubt about the
suitability of a specific fluid, check with your authorized
Grove distributor or Manitowoc Crane Care.
NOTE: All fluids and lubricants may be purchased by
contacting the Manitowoc Crane Care Parts
Department.
Regardless of temperature and oil viscosity, always use
suitable start-up procedures to ensure adequate lubrication
during system warm-up.
Arctic Conditions Down To -40°F.
ALL Weather Package & Lubricants
Engineering recommends the following lubricants for
components for ambient temperatures to -40F. Special
lubricants alone are not sufficient to operate at extreme low
temperatures. We also recommend the use of appropriately
sized heaters for the hydraulic tank, engine oil pan, engine
jacket water and batteries. The operator needs to follow the
guide lines as stated in the operator’s manual. We assume
that the customer has take steps for use of an appropriate
engine antifreeze coolant, have taken care of the fuel, fuel
system and starting system. And has done whatever they
feel necessary to add insulation for under hood temperatures
and meet the engine manufacture's intake air temperature.
Other lubricants may be used if they meet the specification of
the lubricant that is requested. Please consult factory.

pressure devices as this lubricant is used on sealed
fittings.
CAUTION
The multipurpose grease installed during manufacture is
of a lithium base. Use of a noncompatible grease could
result in damage to equipment.
