Published 2-23-2017, Control # 644-00
NOTE: All fluids and lubricants may be purchased by con-
tacting the Manitowoc Crane Care Parts Depart-
ment.
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.
Down to –29C° (–20°F)
ALL Weather Package & Lubricants
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.
