Section 5 Lubrication

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 lubricat ion specifications should be altered to meet existing conditions. For information on extreme condition lubrication, contact your local distributor or Manitowoc Crane Care.

Caution

Chassis grease lubricants must not be applied with air pressure devices as this lubricant is used on sealed fittings.

The multipurpose grease installed during manufacture is of a lithium base. Use of a noncompatible grease could result in damage to equipment.

Environmental Protection

Dispose of waste properly! Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment.

Potentially harmful waste used in Manitowoc cranes includes — but is not limited to — oil, fuel, grease, coolant, air conditioning refrigerant, filters, batteries, and cloths which have come into contact with these environmentally harmful substances.

Handle and dispose of waste according to local, state, and federal environmental regulations.

When filling and draining crane components, observe the following:

• Do not pour waste fluids onto the ground, down any drain, or into any source of water.

• Always drain waste fluids into leak proof containers that are clearly marked with what they contain.

• Always fill or add fluids with a funnel or a filling pump.

• Immediately clean up any spills.

ARCTIC CONDITIONS BELOW -18°C (0°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 distributor or Manitowoc Crane Care.

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°F (-40°C)

Engineering recommends the following lubricants for components that will be operated in 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 this 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.
