Viscosity of oil at 40°C (104°F) Temperature range
32 -25°C to 75°C (-13°F to 167°F)
46 -15°C to 90°C (5°F to 194°F)
68 -5°C to 90°C (23°F to 194°F)
The recommended viscosity during normal working conditions is between 20 and 70 cSt.
Effer strongly recommends an oil working temperature below 80°C (176°F). If necessary consider
an extra oil cooler or heater.
NOTE
If you need to work at a temperature below -25°C (-13°F), contact an authorised
service workshop.
Environmentally Friendly Oil
The environmentally friendly oils recommended for EFFER products are ester based synthetic
hydraulic fluids (synthetic ester).
CAUTION
Vegetable oils do not meet Effer requirements and must not be used.
After filling the tank

2. Put the crane into parked position.
3. Check and top up the oil tank to max level on the tank gauge.
4. Bleed the air from the hydraulic system.
NOTE
• Ensure the waste oil is disposed of safely and in accordance with local
environmental regulations.
• The oil can be hot and cause injury.
8.6. Replacement of filters
