LubricationGuidelines
GeneralInformation
The lubrication procedures presented in this manual are intended as guidelines representing minimum,
safe lubrication intervals under normal operating conditions. Field operating conditions vary considerably
so operators and service personnel must exercise good judgment and common sense when maintaining the
Seatrax crane.
Cranes should be lubricated more frequently when they are subjected to extreme temperature changes,
prolonged operation and severe weather. At the discretion of service personnel, lubrication periods may
be extended during periods of inactivity.
Seatrax recommends establishing a periodic lubrication schedule for each crane, and following that
schedule carefully.
WARNING

goodpracticemaycauseafailureduetoexcessivewearoroverheating,resultingina
dangerousandcostlyaccident.
KeystoLubrication
When considering any oil or lubricant, verify compatibility with components and seals in the system prior
to use.
Use the correct type and quantity of lubricant - applied properly - at appropriate intervals.
Ensure that greasing equipment functions properly.
Clean grease gun and grease fittings to avoid forcing grit into zerk fittings.
Keep funnels, plugs, and oil spouts clean. Wipe off oil covers before using.
Bearings and bushings are best greased while being rotated; this is especially important for slew
bearings and the boom butt/heel pin bushings.
Avoid heavy strokes with grease gun as high pressure can damage seals.
Drain gearbox and other oil cases while hot so the drained oil will carry off any sludge.
Watch for signs of lubrication problems:
A dry area may indicate insufficient lubrication or an overlooked point.
Leakage or excess grease accumulation could mean a damaged seal.
Do not overlook oiling points: apply a few drops of oil periodically to all metal parts subject to wear.

UpperBearing
Seatrax has fielded a number of synthetic upper bearing variants centered on two basic designs: S-type
hemispherical and paired radial and thrust bearings. All of these designs have a long service life if
properly lubricated.
Radial/thrust designs are serviced via two grease fittings, but there are two classes of S-type bearings: two
and six zerk. On the six zerk setup, the inner two pairs of
zerks are greased every shift and the outer pair 2-3 times
per week. NOTE: On certain portable cranes using an
inverted kingpost, the normal bearing positions are
reversed so the hemispherical bearing is actually at the
bottom of the kingpost socket.
Slew bearings and boom heel pins are subjected to extreme
pressure so regular greasing is imperative. This is
especially important for the six-zerk hemispherical
bearings: the picture to the right highlights in green the
maze of passages through which grease must travel. Failure
to follow the greasing schedule can allow debris to
accumulate, clogging these passageways and preventing
adequate grease from distributing throughout the bearing.

LowerBearingShoes
Grease bearing shoes in accordance with the Lubrication Chart that appears later in this document. The
photos below illustrate two different greasing arrangements for the lower bearing shoes. The optional
central greasing system replaces the zerk fitting on each shoe with a hose connected to a manifold. The
manifold is generally located around the turntable, accessible from the main deck whenever possible.

For additional instructions on installing and lubricating new bearing shoes, refer to the Swing Bearing
System Replacement Procedure in the Inspection and Maintenance section of Data Book 1.

BreakingInNewSlewBearings
To help distribute lubricant and promote more even wear, rotate the crane through several 360 degree
revolutions while greasing new or replacement slew bearings. This applies to both the upper bearing and
lower shoes.
For maximum service life, Seatrax recommends using the above greasing technique each time, even after
breaking in the bearings.

EngineOils
Refer to the engine manufacturers manual in the Prime Mover Manual section of Data Book 1 for
recommended grades and viscosities of oil, along with other fluids.
The following chart of oil grades is typical for the diesel engines installed in Seatrax marine cranes.
AmbientTemperature ViscosityGrade
MinimumF(C) MaximumF(C)
5(15) 122(50) SAE15W40
4(20) 104(40) SAE10W30
22(30) 104(40) SAE5W40
22(30) 86(30) SAE5W30
40(40) 50(10) SAE0W20

GearOils
Gear oils are used in all hoists throughout the crane. The most commonly used gear oils are multi-grade
types. As with all lubricants, using the correct grade and additives is crucial to proper performance. Any
gear oil used must have an EP (Extreme Pressure) additive. EP additives are specifically designed to
prevent metal-to-metal contact in the operation of highly loaded gears.
Seatrax hoist drives are typically filled with 80W-90 unless the customer requests a specific lubricant.
This weight is appropriate for most operating conditions. Operations in an environment that is extremely
hot (over 100F) or cold (below 0F), may require draining the gearboxes and refilling them with a
lubricant developed for these specific temperatures.

StandardLubeSchedule_R08.doc Page10of13
Excessively hot environments may require the use of 80W-140 gear oil: this flows like an SAE 80 weight
gear oil in cold temperatures yet gives the protection of SAE 140 weight gear oil.
Arctic cold requires the use of 75W-90 gear oil which flows like an SAE 75 weight gear oil in cold
temperatures yet gives the protection of SAE 90 weight gear oil.

IMPORTANTNOTES
It is imperative that gear oils are replaced at the required intervals, especially if run at high
temperatures for extended periods of time.
When checking oil on the various hoist, slew and pump drive gearboxes, inspect for discoloration as it
can indicate overheating. Failure to replace discolored gearbox oil can significantly shorten the
lifespan of the gears and bearings.

Grease
Seatrax lubricates all bearings and bushings on the crane during the assembly process. All grease points
should be attended to as shown by the Lubrication Chart, using particular types of grease as explained
below:
Slew Bearings and Boom Heel Pins: Seatrax strongly recommends the use of Lubemaster Premalube
Heavy Duty NLGI #2 grease in the slew bearings both upper and lower and boom heel pins.
Follow these guidelines when introducing Premalube to a crane that used different grease previously:
o DO NOT MIX WITH CLAY OR BENTONITE GREASES
o Certain greases are not compatible and may fail to perform properly if mixed. This may result in
equipment failure and damage. Purge old grease prior to using Premalube:
o Bearing-type grease fittings: fill with Premalube until the old grease is forced out.
o Other surfaces: remove the old grease by applying a degreaser.
o For additional information on compatibility and purging consult the Seatrax service department.
Couplings/Splines: See the attached Service Bulletin SB26003 for specific grease and vendor
recommendations.
Electric Prime Mover (If Equipped): For cranes equipped with an electric motor(s) as prime mover,
refer to the motor manufacturers manual in the Prime Mover section of Data Book 1.
All Other Fittings: For other grease points, high-quality multi-purpose grease with EP and moly
additives - and high resistance to water washout - is necessary to prevent metal to metal contact and
premature wear. It is also necessary to use grease rated for the expected service temperature of the
crane as indicated in the below table:
Temp.Range 40to40F 10to80F 30to110F
Grease NLGIGrade0 NLGIGrade1 NLGIGrade2

HydraulicOils
Viscosity
Viscosities should correspond to the environmental conditions listed in the table. VG ISO 68 is
recommended for the Gulf of Mexico and other sub-tropic regions. If there appears to be overlap or the
environmental temperatures fall outside the range on the table, then contact Seatrax for advice.

StandardLubeSchedule_R08.doc Page11of13
Compatibility
Mineral oils are generally compatible with the seals, fluid conductors and metallic components.
However, some synthetic and/or environmentally-safe fluids have additives or chemical properties which
can damage these components. Contact Seatrax before using any environmentally-friendly hydraulic oils.
DONOTuseengineoilsorautomatictransmissionfluidsinthehydraulicsystem!
Lubricity
Due to the critical tolerances between mating parts in piston pumps and motors, the lubricity of the oil
must meet minimum requirements. The lubrication properties of the oil should be provided on the oil
manufacturers oil data sheets as an FZG rating.
Fluids with zinc-based lubricity additives provide longer service life. Seatrax recommends avoiding the
use of ash-less (non-zinc-based) oils.
HLPvs.HVLPOils
The oils listed on the Seatrax Hydraulic Chart are HLP oils. Seatrax does not recommend the use of
HVLP oils: they may experience up to a 30% loss in viscosity in shear which can cause erratic operation.

OriginalFill
High quality ISO 68 hydraulic oil is typically used for the original fill in the hydraulic system. This type
of oil was chosen because it is a non-detergent, shear-stable, anti-foaming and anti-wear hydraulic oil
with high resistance to rust and oxidation. The additives used in the oil are suitable for long duration use
and are compatible with the seals used in the crane. This oil can be used for temperatures ranging from
30F to 110F.

FieldFill
Whenever oil must be added to the system, or when an oil change becomes necessary, use one of the
fluids shown in the Hydraulic Oil Chart.
Full is approximately 4 below the top of tank or approximately 6 beneath the filler neck. Seatrax does
not use hydraulic cylinders unlike some designs making it unnecessary to leave a large air reserve to
accommodate piston displacement of fluid within the hydraulic tank.

StandardLubeSchedule_R08.doc Page12of13
IMPORTANTNOTES
Maintain proper tank level: too full and excess oil can slosh out. Too low and pump damage may
occur. As illustrated in the previous drawing, Seatrax designed the pilot pump suction inlet to sit high
in the tank relative to the inlets for the other pumps. If the oil level drops below the pilot suction inlet,
pilot pressure to the hydraulic system drops, stopping the slew and hoist pumps before cavitation
damage can occur. If this happens, shut down the crane immediately to reduce the chance of damaging
the pilot pump and refill the tank.
The use of oil heaters in the hydraulic tank may change the oil or oil change interval recommended for
a particular environment.
When operating in an extremely cold environment, slowly rotate each hoist for one minute to allow
warmer oil from the tank to replace the cold oil in the lines and warm the motors.

HydraulicOilChart
Listed below are the recommended ISO viscosity grades for hydraulic oil for various ambient temperature
ranges when used in Seatrax hydraulic cranes. Also included is a list of various manufacturers who make
oil conforming to the ISO specifications. These oils are readily available HLP oils typically with high life
to cost benefits. Many other oil companies also supply oil conforming to these requirements, but
hydraulic oil datasheets should be submitted to Seatrax for approval before their use.

SHELL ALVANIA GREASE CG
For couplings used in industrial equipment

Product Description
Alvania Grease CG is specially formulated with a lithium soap/polymer thickener, which has superior resistance to
oil separation when subjected to the high centrifugal forces normally found in couplings.

Application
Alvania Grease CG is recommended for all types of grease lubricated couplings used in industrial equipment.
Common grease lubricated couplings include:

1. Geared Couplings which have internal and external spur gears that mesh within a common rotating hub
connecting the shafts.

2. Steel Grid Couplings which have a convoluted band of flexible spring steel physically linking the hubs together.

3. Flexible Chain Couplings which have a roller chain that meshes with a sprocket cut in each mating hub.

Advance technology has enabled Alvania Grease CG to perform beyond the normal 6 month change interval. In
actual field experience this grease has shown its ability to perform satisfactorily beyond 3 years. This product should
be used in all grease couplings, especially in those hard to service or those operating under severe conditions.

Because of its high base oil viscosity, Alvania Grease CG is also suitable for use in other industrial applications
where the equipment is subject to high water wash, low speeds and heavy or shock loads.

Features
Alvania Grease CG has a consistency which overlaps the NLGI grades 0 and 1. This grease is specially formulated
with a lithium/polymer thickener and fortified with corrosion, oxidation, extreme pressure and an effective rust
inhibitor additive package.

Its high viscosity base oil and tackifier combine to keep the grease in place and prevent separation. In the ASTM D
4425, High Speed Centrifugal Test, which develops G forces in excess of 36,000 at 15,000 rpm. Alvania Grease CG
exhibits little or no oil separation.

SOC: 02426-12/02
Benefits

one grease for all grease coupling types

Based on ASTM D 1478 and D 4693 torque tests, the minimum recommended bearing lubrication service would be -
10F. For coupling service the minimum usable temperature is not dependent upon ease of pumping or bearing
breakaway force. Field service confirms problem-free coupling service at -20F and below. Actual minimum
temperature for coupling service would be below -20F.

Approvals and Recommendations

TB Woods

Product Maintenance
The tacky nature of the product makes hand packing the preferred method of newly installed couplings to ensure even
distribution throughout. Normal handling precautions should be observed as with any petroleum based products.
Consult the coupling manufacturers installation instructions for detailed lubricant application procedures. The
following procedure outlines a popular lubrication method. Prior to assembly of gear couplings a coating of grease
should be applied to gear teeth. After hand packing, the coupling should be rotated so the grease fitting reaches 4
oclock, and the fitting/plug removed. A short length of 1/4 inch pipe can be affixed and grease pumped into the
coupling until product is observed flowing out the purge opening at 10 oclock. The pipe should then be removed and
the plugs reinserted. This practice insures that the coupling is adequately lubricated. Routine relubrication can be
accomplished with disassembly using this method. The grease will then be evenly distributed to all moving and
sliding surfaces and the full benefits of the product will be realized. Special care needs to be taken when filling "Full
Travel" type couplings so the correct amount of grease is charged.

January 10, 2005 (Revised March 26, 2012)

PUMP DRIVE LUBRICATION

Seatrax cranes equipped with 4 pad pump drives require additional lubrication, which will prolong
pump and gear life. In addition to the internal fluid level the drive gears should be lubricated on a
periodic basis to prevent spline fretting.

For units utilizing the Part No. 20135,

20156, 20173 and 20195:
Each independent drive should have 2 shots
from an oil can of SAE 90W oil applied into
the breathers on a monthly basis.
NOTE: If this has never been performed
then start by applying 10 shots of oil from
oil can in each pad.

For units utilizing the Part No. 20200,

20201, 20202, 20206 and 20224:
The center drive shaft should have 1 shot of
Coupling Grease (Ref: SB26003) applied
on a weekly basis.
