NOTE 23: Apply grease to four (4) fittings at front of superstructure. Then rotate superstructure 90° and apply grease to
fittings once more. Repeat rotating the superstructure in 90° increments and applying grease to the fittings until
the entire superstructure has made a full rotation.
NOTE 24: The swing drive bearing in this crane is supplied with Cold Weather (arctic) bearing grease capable of ambient
temperatures between -40°C and +49°C (-40°F to +120°F), If operating the crane in regions expecting
sustained winter/cold season temperatures below 15°F, top off bearing grease using Table 6-2, Cold Weather
Lubricants in Arctic Conditions [Down to -29°C (-20°F)]. If temperatures below -9°C (15°F) are rare and
intermittent, then greases from Table 6-1, Standard Lubricants [Down to -9°C (+15°F)], are acceptable.
NOTE 25: DO NOT USE non semi-synthetic lubricant. Use of non-approved lubricant may damage components.
CAUTION
Possible Equipment Damage!
Use semi-synthetic or synthetic lubricants as listed in Section 6 of this Operator Manual. See
also your GRT9165 Service Manual for maintenance and lubrication instructions.
Use of non-approved, non semi-synthetic lubricant may damage components and/or
invalidate published lubricant intervals.
Failure to follow this instruction may cause damage to equipment.
