Maintenance and Lubrication Section

Lubricant Viscosities

General

•
Follow Carrier Vehicle manufacture's maintenance and lubrication instructions for vehicle service as required.
•
To prevent corrosion damage to the slewing drive interior, if not used regularly, rotate the slewing canopy between its
limits of travel several times at least once a month.

Selecting the Viscosity

The proper lubricant viscosity grade is determined by the minimum outside temperature. This is the temperature when the
machine is started and when the machine is operated. In order to determine the proper lubricant viscosity grade, refer to the
"Min" column in the table. This information reflects the coldest ambient temperature condition for starting a cold machine
and for operating a cold machine. Refer to the "Max" column in the table in order to select the oil viscosity grade for
operating the machine at the highest temperature that is anticipated.
