14000 OPERATOR MANUAL OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
COLD WEATHER HEATER PACKAGE
General
An optional cold weather heater package has a 240 volt AC
single phase power requirement. Heaters preheat critical
machinery and lubricant sumps during cold weather
shutdown.
A 240 volt receptacle is mounted on front of rotating bed and
the circuit breaker panel is mounted on left side of rotating
bed, behind operator’s cab (see Figure 3-72
and
Figure 3-73
).
When operated in an arctic climate — outside temperature
continuously below 0°F (-18°C) and -30°F (-34°C) — crane
should be equipped with heaters identified in this section and
lubricated with the lubricants listed in Section 5.
Heaters
Heaters operate on 240 volt AC single phase electrical
power supplied by a external power supply. Heater package
includes the following:
• Cab front console strip heater (240 volts, 125 watts)
• Hydraulic reservoir heaters — Past (240 volts, 500 watts
each) or Hydraulic reservoir heater — Current
(240 volts, 1000 watts)
• Engine oil sump heater (120 volts, 300 watt)
• Battery pad heaters — Past
(120 volts, 75 watts each)
or
Battery pad heaters — Current
(240 volts, 75 watts each)
• Engine coolant recirculation heater (120 volts, 1000
watts)
Turning Heaters On
1. The external power supply must be disconnected. Then
proceed as follows:
a. Check that main circuit breaker and each heater
circuit breaker is off (see Figure 3-72
- Past
Production or Figure 3-73
- Current Production).
b. Check that external power supply source is off.
c. Connect external power supply cord to receptacle at
left side of rotating bed, behind operator’s cab.
d. Turn on external power supply.
e. Turn on main circuit breaker.
f. Turn on each heater circuit breaker.
Turning Heaters Off
1. Turn off main circuit breaker.
2. Turn off each heater circuit breaker.
3. Perform remaining steps only if power supply cord will
be disconnected or electrical system is being serviced:
a. Turn off external power supply.
b. Unplug power supply cord from crane.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
See Section 3 in the Service Manual for identification and
location of circuit breakers used to protect crane’s electric
circuits.
CAUTION
Machinery Damage!
Operating in an arctic climate without heaters can damage
machinery during cold weather start-up due to lack of
lubrication.
Heater package described in this section may not provide
adequate protection when operating below -30°F (-34°C).
Contact your Manitowoc dealer for recommendations.
Hydraulic Pump Damage!
To prevent damage to pumps, warm hydraulic oil to 60°F
(16°C) minimum before operating crane in an arctic climate.
WARNING
Electrocution Hazard!
Severe electric shock can cause death or serious injury.
Crane owner/user shall make provisions for turning off
electrical power supply before connecting power supply
cord to crane.
