Installation

HC-7X NEXSTAR

Recommended Operating Temperature

1.  In applications where low oil temperatures may exist (below -20° F), an external heating system may 

be required.

2. 

A symptom of excessively low oil temperatures is hydraulic pump/PTO operation but no fluid flow from 

tank.

Hydraulic reservoir oil temperatures must not exceed 180° F or damage to crane 

may occur.  This may affect crane warranty.
