Operation at High Altitudes
Operation instructions at high altitudes are the same as those
provided for extreme cold. Before operating at high altitudes,
engine fuel and air mixture may have to be adjusted according
to appropriate engine manual.
1. Check engine operating temperature for evidence of
overheating. The radiator cap must make a perfect seal to
maintain coolant pressure in cooling system.
• Perform warming-up operation thoroughly. If machine
is not thoroughly warmed up before control levers or
control pedals are operated, reaction of machine will
be slow.
• If battery electrolyte is frozen, do not charge battery
or start engine with a different power source. There is
a potential hazard that could cause a battery
explosion or fire.
• Before charging or starting engine with a different
power source, thaw battery electrolyte and check for
any leakage of electrolyte before starting.

• If you are off machine, keep away from machine until
storm passes.
