Arctic Lubricants and Conditions
Temperatures Below -9°C (15°F)
Regions with ambient temperatures below -9°C (15°F) are
considered arctic. In general, petroleum based fluids
developed especially for low temperature service may be
used with satisfactory results in these temperatures.
However, certain fluids, such as halogenated hydrocarbons,
nitro hydrocarbons, and phosphate ester hydraulic fluids,
may not be compatible with hydraulic system seals and wear
bands. Therefore, always check with an authorized Grove
distributor or Manitowoc Crane Care if in doubt of the
suitability of a specific fluid or lubricant.
When operating in cold weather and regardless of the oil
viscosity of the crane’s lubricants, always follow the cold
weather start-up and operating procedures described in the
Operator Manual to ensure adequate lubrication during
system warm-up and proper operation of all crane functions.
Cold Weather Package and Lubricants
Grove recommends cold weather lubricants for use with
ambient temperatures down to -29°C (-20°F) ((TABLE 5-2:)).
But, these cold weather lubricants alone are not sufficient to
operate the crane in extreme low temperatures. Therefore, it
is also recommended that the crane be equipped with the
following accessories:
--29°C (-20°F) Package
• Battery heater
• Fuel line heater
• Engine hood insulation
• Fan clutch
• Radiator air shutters
• Air diverter
• Diesel fired cab heater
• Cold weather alternator
• Fluids suitable to -29°C (-20°F)
- Arctic windshield washer fluid
- Arctic fuel
-40°C (-40°F) Package
• Coolant heater (to circulate warm coolant through
heaters and engine)
• Transmission heater
• Swivel heater
• Battery heater
• Fuel line heater
• Hydraulic reservoir heater
• Engine hood insulation
• Fan clutch
• Radiator shutters
• Air diverter
• Diesel fired cab heater
• Cold weather alternator
• Super-capacitor starting system
• Fluids suitable to -40°C (-40°F):
- Arctic windshield washer fluid
- Arctic fuel
Notes Listed in the Following Tables
1.All steering links, movable control links, clevis pins, and
roller type switches requiring periodic lubrication shall be
lubricated during assembly.
2.Final fluid levels shall be adjusted to indicating arrows,
dipstick markings, or to filler plugs.
a.Caution: axle fluid levels shall be adjusted to “bottom of fill
plug threads”. Check with crane on level ground, at normal
ride height, cold or room temperature oil only!
3.Change filter when changing gear oil.
4.Capacities indicated are for a fully formulated mixture of
50% AFC and 50% water.
5.Brush lubricant on top and bottom of outrigger beams
contact area.
6.The hydraulic oil shall meet or exceed ISO 4406 class 17/
14 cleanliness level (ref J-SAE J1165).
7.Brush lubrication on I.D. of center front jack cylinder
support tube and wear bands before installing jack cylinder.
8.Use grease fittings provided.
9.Fill radiator to bottom of filler neck per Engineering
Specification 80029046. Run engine through (2) thermal
cycles. check level and refill as required.
10.Fill through dipstick opening.
CAUTION
The following lube intervals are to be used as a guideline
only. Actual lube intervals should be formulated by the
operator to correspond according to conditions such as
continuous duty cycles and/or hazardous environments.
