RT9150E OPERATOR MANUAL NOTE:
LUBRICATION
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.
Down to –40°F (–40°C) ALL Weather Package & Lubricants NOTE:
Bio-Oil not suitable for operation at these temperatures. Contact Manitowoc Crane care for alternatives.
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 water jacket 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, 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 to meet the engine manufacturer's intake air temperature. Other lubricants may be used if they meet the specification of the lubricant that is requested. Please consult factory.
