NOTE 50: DO NOT USE non semi-synthetic lubricant. Use of non-approved lubricant may damage components.
NOTE 51: Before operating crane in cold weather (arctic) ambient temperatures below -9°C (+15°F), Standard grease
must be fully purged and replaced with Cold Weather grease meeting Grove U.S. L.L.C. specifications as
shown in Table 6-4: Approved Lubricant Reference Table, page 6-11 in this Operator Manual. See also your
GRT9165 Service Manual for maintenance and lubrication instructions.
NOTE 52: Slowly turn the sheave, and examine it for rough or dry points of operation and grease leaks. If rough or dry
points of operation are found, then replace the sheave. If grease leaks are found, then replace the sheave.
NOTE 53: If the weather is very bad or operating conditions are poor, then more frequent intervals are necessary. Monitor
the service points and adjust lubrication intervals, as necessary.
CAUTION
Possible Equipment Damage!
Use semi-synthetic or synthetic lubricants as listed in Section 6 of this Operator Manual. See
also your GRT9165 Service Manual for maintenance and lubrication instructions.
Use of non-approved, non semi-synthetic lubricant may damage components and/or
invalidate published lubricant intervals.
Failure to follow this instruction may cause damage to equipment.
