GENERAL
Following the designated lubrication procedures is important
in ensuring maximum crane lifetime and utilization. The
procedures and lubrication charts in this section include
information on the types of lubricants used, the location of
the lubrication points, the frequency of lubrication, and other
information.
The service intervals specified are for normal operation
where moderate temperature, humidity, and atmospheric
conditions prevail. In areas of extreme conditions, the
service periods and lubrication specifications should be
altered to meet existing conditions. For information on
extreme condition lubrication, contact your local Grove
distributor or Manitowoc Crane Care.
Arctic Conditions Below -15°C (5°F)
In general, petroleum based fluids developed especially for
low temperature service may be used with satisfactory
results. However, certain fluids, such as halogenated
hydrocarbons, nitro hydrocarbons, and phosphate ester
hydraulic fluids, might not be compatible with hydraulic
system seals and wear bands.If you are in doubt about the
suitability of a specific fluid, check with your authorized
Grove distributor or Manitowoc Crane Care.
NOTE: All fluids and lubricants may be purchased by
contacting the Manitowoc Crane Care Parts
Department.
Regardless of temperature and oil viscosity, always use
suitable start-up procedures to ensure adequate lubrication
during system warm-up.
ALL WEATHER PACKAGE & LUBRICANTS
Arctic Conditions Down To -40°C (-40°F)
Engineering recommends the following lubricants for
components that will be operated in ambient temperatures to
-40
°C (-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's manual. We assume that the customer has taken
steps for use of an appropriate engine antifreeze coolant,
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 requirements. Other
lubricants may be used if they meet the specifications of the
lubricant that is requested. Please consult the factory.
CAUTION
Chassis grease lubricants must not be applied with air
pressure devices as this lubricant is used on sealed
fittings.
CAUTION
The multipurpose grease installed during manufacture is
of a lithium base. Use of a incompatible grease could
result in damage to equipment.
