be encountered.
• 75W-90 below -10°F (-23°C)

Hydraulic Oil
General
Optional thermostatically controlled heaters (120V or 240V)
can be installed in the hydraulic tank to aid in cold-weather
startup. The heaters are designed to keep the oil
temperature 30°F (17°C) warmer than the ambient
temperature.
Either disconnect or turn off hydraulic tank heaters
before starting engine to prevent hydraulic system from
overheating.
Hydraulic Cranes
Change the oil in the hydraulic system to ISO Grade 15 when
the expected ambient temperature will remain at 32°F (0°C)
or below.
Change the oil in the hydraulic system to ISO Grade 46 when
the expected ambient temperature will remain above 32°F
(0°C).
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
See Section 3 in the Service Manual for identification and
location of the circuit breakers used to protect the crane’s
electric circuits.
