HYDRAULIC FLUID SPECIFICATION
Minimum viscosity specifications for hydraulic oil to be used in the crane should be Chevron AW68 or equivalent
to eliminate the necessity of seasonal oil changes under normal temperature conditions. For operations in below
freezing temperature, use a hydraulic fluid having a viscosity of 3000 SSU’s.
Operating temperature of the hydraulic fluid should be within the range of 120°F—160°F (49°C—82°C).

NOTE
NOTE: Arctic conditions present special requirements and considerations. Consult your oil supplier for the proper
fluid for working under these severe conditions.
In addition to meeting the viscosity requirements, hydraulic fluid used in the system should contain the following
additives:
•
Anti-foam inhibitors
•
Antioxidant inhibitors
•
Anti-wear additives
•
Rust resistant additives
