OPERATING IN HOT WEATHER
Extreme conditions, hot or cold, place unusual demands
on equipment. The owner or operator can minimize
temperature related problems on equipment by following
these general recommendations.
1. Clean all dirt and debris from the oil cooler and
engine area.
2. Use lubricants of the correct viscosity.
3. Check the air cleaner more frequently during extreme
dust conditions.
4. Allow engine to run near high idle when working the
machine. Do not overload or lug down the engine.
OPERATING IN COLD WEATHER
Cold weather conditions cause special problems. During
these conditions your machine will require special
attention to prevent serious damage. Cold weather
maintenance will extend the service life of your machine.
BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: Clean the battery
and make sure the battery is at full charge.
NOTE:
A fully charged battery at -17°C (0°F) has
only 40 percent of the normal starting power. When
the temperature decreases to -29°C (-20°F), the
battery has only 18 percent of the power remaining.
WARNING
: Before starting engine, study
operator’s manual safety messages. Read all
safety signs on machine. Clear the area of other
persons. Learn and practice safe use of controls
before operating. It is your responsibility to
understand and follow manufacturer’s
instructions on machine operation, service, and
to observe pertinent laws and regulations.
Operators and service manuals can be obtained
from your equipment dealer.
