Arctic Conditions Down To -40°C (-40°F)
All Weather Package and Lubricants
Engineering recommends the following lubricants for
components for ambient temperatures to -40°F. Special
lubricants alone are not sufficient to operate at extreme low
temperatures. We also recommend the use of appropriately
sized heaters for the hydraulic tank, engine oil pan, engine
jacket water and batteries. The operator needs to follow the
guide lines as stated in the operator manual. We assume
that the customer has take steps for use of an appropriate
engine antifreeze coolant, have taken care of the fuel, fuel
system and starting system. And has done whatever they
feel necessary to add insulation for under hood temperatures
and meet the engine manufacture's intake air temperature.
Other lubricants may be used if they meet the specification of
the lubricant that is requested. Please consult factory. It is
also recommended that the crane be equipped with the
following accessories:
