8. Analyze the hydraulic oil at regular intervals to
determine the condition of the oil and the extent of
system contamination.
By having the oil analyzed on a regular basis, the
established oil change interval can meet the operating
conditions.
NOTE: Contact the oil supplier for the availability and
process of oil analysis services.
Replacing Desiccant Breather
See Figure 2-4 for the following procedure:
1. Remove the keyed cover above the hydraulic tank.
2. Unscrew the breather from the tank.
3. Unscrew the cap from the cartridge and discard the
cartridge.
4. Remove the protective caps from the top and bottom of
the new cartridge.
5. Attach the cap to the cartridge only to hand tightness.
6. Attach the breather to the hydraulic tank by hand
tightening.
Replacing Filters
See Figure 2-1 for the following procedure.
There are three 12-micron absolute filter elements that filter
all oil returning to the tank.
If a filter is too dirty, a fault alarm will come on
and a fault symbol will appear on the active
display. The hydraulic filter icon will appear on
the fault display.
NOTE: It is normal for the alert to come on at start-up when
the oil is cold. If the filters are not plugged, the alert
will turn off after the hydraulic oil warms up.
See Figure 2-1
for the following procedure.
Replace the return filter elements when the filter fault comes
on and at each oil change interval:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Remove the keyed cover above the hydraulic tank.
3. Clean the outside of the filter head around the cover.
4. Remove the fill cap. Do not damage the o-rings. The
fill cap has a hexagon stud for easy removal.

CAUTION
Avoid Hydraulic System Damage!
The original equipment manufacturers’ filter elements,
available from Manitowoc Crane Care, must be used on
this crane. Substituting any other brand or type of filter
element is not allowed.
Filter elements made by other manufacturers may
collapse under pressure, which will allow unfiltered oil to
be drawn into the hydraulic system and can destroy
pumps, motors, and valves.
Manitowoc Crane Care will reject warranty claims for
damaged hydraulic components if the proper hydraulic
filter elements are not used.
WARNING
Burn Hazard!
Oil in the hydraulic tank may be under pressure and
extremely hot.
Hot oil can escape when either filter cover is removed.
Relieve pressure through the air valve (4a, Figure 2-1
) on
the tank before servicing.
