Published 10-01-2020 Control # 699-00
Grove recommends the use of Standard lubricants for Grove
cranes operating in regions where moderate ambient
temperature, humidity, and atmospheric conditions prevail.
These Standard lubricants are effective in ambient
temperatures down to -9°C (+15°F).
Cold weather temperatures below -9°C (+15°F) are
considered arctic. Grove recommends the use of Cold
Weather lubricants for Grove cranes operating in arctic
conditions.
In regions where Grove cranes are operating with arctic
conditions down to -29°C (-20°F), Grove recommends the
use of the Cold Weather lubricants found in Table 9-2.
In regions where Grove cranes are operating with arctic
conditions down to -40°C (-40°F), Grove recommends the
use of the Cold Weather lubricants found in Table 9-3.
NOTE: All fluids and lubricants may be purchased by
contacting an authorized Grove distributor or
Manitowoc Crane Care Parts Department.
Standard Lubricants
Standard lubricants are used on all Grove cranes. Cranes
can also be ordered with Cold Weather lubricants. The
Standard lubricants listed in Table 9-1 are effective in
ambient temperatures down to -9°C (+15°F).
CAUTION
Possible Equipment Damage!
The multipurpose grease installed during manufacture of
this crane contains a lithium base.
Do not apply chassis grease lubricants with air pressure
devices, as chassis contains sealed fittings.
Use of non-approved lubricant may damage components
and/or invalidate published lubricant intervals.
Failure to follow this instruction may cause damage to
equipment.
