Operation 5
NOTE
- If the engine has not started after two attempts,
determine the cause using the troubleshooting
table in the operating instructions for the
engine.
- For operation at extremely low temperatures,
see the operating instructions for the engine.
- The clogging indicator (4-6/15) may light up
prematurely after a cold start. It will go out
when the hydraulic oil warms up. Operate the
loader at a low speed until the indicator lamp
(4-6/15) goes out. Never subject the loader to
full loads in this state.
5.2.2 Winter operation
CAUTION
If the outside temperature is below 0 °C, the
loader must be properly „warmed up“ to avoid
damage to certain assemblies. To do so, actuate
all cylinders (lifting, tipping and swivelling cylinders)
for some time (depending on the ambient
temperature) with the machine idling.
Proper operation of the machine, even for subzero
temperatures, can only be guaranteed if the following
measures have been taken:
5.2.2.1 Fuel
At low temperatures, paraffin precipitating from the fuel can
cause the fuel system to clog up. For this reason, always
use winter diesel fuel (suitable for temperatures down to
-15 °C) when the outside temperature is below 0 °C.
NOTE
The fuelling stations normally start offering winter
diesel fuel in good time before the cold season
starts. Often, they offer diesel fuel that can be
used down to temperatures of 20 °C (super-grade
diesel fuel).
If the temperature is below -15 °C or -20 °C,
paraffin oil must be added to the diesel fuel. For
the mixture ratio, refer to the diagram (5-2).
I = Summer diesel fuel
II = Winter diesel fuel
III = Super-grade diesel fuel
CAUTION
Only mix the ingredients in the tank! First, fill in
the required amount of paraffin oil, then top up
with diesel fuel.
