5.5. SEASONAL PREPARATION
GENERAL
Mechanical efficiency is enhanced during seasonal air temperature changes, when these
instructions are followed.
OPERATION IN SUB-ZERO WEATHER.
Wheel loaders left outside for prolonged periods in sub-zero weather will suffer from "cold-soak."
Lubricants become viscous and incapable of lubricating moving parts. Extreme wear could result to
the engine, transmission and final drives unless proper precautions are taken. A source of outside
heat is necessary under these conditions. There are electric as well as propane-fired engine
coolant heaters available. Gas-fired forced air heaters may also be obtained to heat the
transmission and final drives.
If a loader is to be used in low temperatures it is best to order a machine designed for operation in
low temperatures, which is equipped with necessary heaters.
