TMS700E OPERATORS MANUAL

18. Front Rear Axle Differential

Lube Type - SSGL-5

Lube Interval - Check lubricant level every 250 hours and refill as necessary. Drain, fill, change filter, and clean magnetic drain plug every 80,000 km (50,000 mi) or 2 years, whichever interval occurs first.

Lube Amount - Capacity - 27 liters (57 pints) Normal makeup - less than 0.23 liter (0.5 pint)

Application - Fill to bottom of fill plug threads.

Caution

Use of non-semi-synthetic lubricant may damage components and/or invalidate published lubrication intervals.

If the makeup amount is substantially more than 0.23 liter (0.5 pint) check for leaks.

NOTE: Lube level (Figure 5-2) close enough to the hole to be seen or touched is not sufficient. It must be level with the hole.

When checking lube level, also check and clean housing breathers.

___ Correct: Lube level at bottom of filler hole. - - - Incorrect: Lube level below filler hole.

Hydraulic Lubrication

NOTE: Environmental and other conditions can dramatically affect the condition of hydraulic oil and filters. Therefore, specific intervals for servicing/ changing hydraulic oil, filters and hydraulic tank breathers cannot be set. However, it is imperative for the continued satisfactory performance of Grove cranes that inspections be performed on the basis of how and where each crane is used. Air borne and ingested contaminants can significantly reduce the life of oil and the condition of hydraulic oil filters and tank breathers.

Under normal operatin g conditions, it is recommended that hydraulic oil, filters and breathers be inspected and oils sampled at least every 3 to 6 months and more frequently for severe operating conditions. The inspections should be for air borne and/or ingested particles and water that deteriorate and contaminate the oil (e.g., oil appears “milky” or no lo nger has a transparent clear to amber color). The return filter by-pass indicator should be observed daily to determine if the contaminants content may be high. If the indicator reaches the red zone or indicates a bypass condition, the hydraulic oil must be sampled. The hydraulic tank breather should also be inspected to assure that it is not restricting air flow into and out of the reservoir.

To inspect hydraulic oil, fill a small glass container with a sample of reservoir oil and another glass container with fresh oil. Let the samples stand, undisturbed, for one to two hours and then compare the samples. If the reservoir oil is heavily contaminated with water the sample will appear “milky” with only a small layer of transparent oil on top. If the “milky” appearance was due to air foaming, it will dissipate and the oil should closely match the fresh oil. Should you have any questions, please contact your local distributor or Manitowoc Crane Care.

25. Hydraulic Reservoir

Lube Type - Standard Hydraulic Oil (Above 10°F (-12°C))

The factory fill standard hydraulic oil is Exxon Mobil 424 10W-30. This fluid is acceptable for operating temperatures above 10°F (-12°C). For alternate hydraulic oil products, refer to Manitowoc lube specifications in the Service Manual

Lube Interval - Check fluid level every 10 hours or daily, using sight gauge on side of tank, with boom retracted and in boom rest and all outrigger cylinders retracted; drain and refill as necessary. Replace oil every 2000 hours or 2 years, whichever interval occurs first.

NOTE: After 2000 hours or 2 years of service, an oil sample should be taken and laboratory analyzed. If it continues to meet a minimum cleanliness level of ISO 16/13 (SAE J1165), the service interval can be increased to 3000 hours or 3 years.

Lube Amount - 507 liters (134 gal.) (tank only), to the FULL mark on sight gauge.

Application - Remove the breather; fill through the breather hole on top of tank; reinstall breather. When tank is drained, clean the magnetic pipe plug.

Replace breather every 500 hours or 6 months, whichever interval occurs first.

Check filter every 500 hours or 6 months, whichever interval occurs first.

26. Fuel Filter

Drain water trap every 10 hours or daily and change filter when clear cover is full of fuel.

27. Air Cleaner Filter

Replace air cleaner filter element when indicator shows red (25” H2O).

28. Coolant Strainer (Superstructure Cab Heater)

Close the shutoff valves. Unscrew the hex plug and clean the strainer screen after first 100 hours and every 2000 hours or 12 months thereafter.

Superstructure Lubrication

29. Turntable Gear Box

Lube Type - SSGL-5

NOTE: Remove one valve to equalize the pressure before checking the swing gearbox oil level. This will keep the oil from pushing out.
