MAINTENANCE UNDER SPECIAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
9-1
Operating Conditions Precautions for Maintenance
Muddy Soil, Rainy or
Snowy Weather
Before Operation : Check tightness of plugs and all drain cocks.
After Operation : Clean the machine and check for cracks and damage. Check for loose or
missing bolts and nuts. Lubricate all necessary parts without delay.
If the machine should be submerged in water deeper than approximately 450
mm, water may get into the brake device (such as the parking brake), resulting
in poor braking performance. Watch out when starting/stopping the machine.
Near the Ocean
(or near chemical
treatment place)
Before Operation : Check tightness of plug and all drain cocks.
After Operation : Thoroughly clean the machine with fresh water to wash off salt.
Service electrical equipment often to prevent corrosion.
Dusty Atmosphere Air Cleaner : Clean the element regularly at shorter service intervals.
Radiator : Clean the radiator core and every coolers core.
Fuel System, Urea SCR
System
: Clean the filter element and strainer regularly at shorter service intervals.
Electrical Equipment : Clean them regularly, in particular, the commutator surface of the alternator
and starter.
Engine, Aftertreatment
Device
: Clean earlier than the normal interval to prevent dust from sticking and
accumulating. Inhibit regeneration according to the machine operating
condition.
Rocky Ground Chassis : Check for damage on tires, for loose, cracked, worn, and damaged bolts and
nuts.
Front Attachment : Standard attachment may be damaged when digging rocky ground.
Reinforce the bucket before using it, or use a heavy duty bucket. Consult your
authorized dealer.
Freezing Weather Fuel : Use high quality fuel suitable for low temperature.
Check the fuel tank breather pipe freezing.
Lubricant : Use high quality low viscosity hydraulic oil and engine oil.
Engine Coolant : Be sure to use antifreeze.
Battery : Fully charge the batteries regularly at shorter service intervals. If not charged
fully, electrolyte may freeze.
Tires and Frames : Keep tires and frames clean. Park the machine on a hard surface to prevent the
tires from freezing to the ground.
DEF/AdBlue® : May become frozen but the machine can be operated normally.
When handling old paper
and/or industrial waste
Engine compartment : Remove old paper and/or waste accumulated around the radiator and in the
engine compartment, possibly causing overheating or fires of the machine if
not removed.
Air cleaner : Clean the element at shorter intervals.
Fuel system : Clean and replace the elements and the filters at shorter intervals.
Loader frame : Remove the accumulated paper and/or waste from the surroundings around
the loader frame and the attachment. Failure to do so may cause damage of
the machine.
Radiator : Wash as frequently as possible to prevent corrosion due to chemical materials.
IMPORTANT: If material to be handled is a substance that causes corrosion such as salt or chemical, consult your
authorized dealer. Special modification or treatment may be needed for the machine. If the machine continues
to be used, malfunction may occur due to corrosion.
Consult your authorized dealer when the machine is operated under special condition(s).
Maintenance Under Special Environmental Conditions

WARNING:
Before operating the machine in a river, check the riverbed conditions in advance.
Avoid driving the machine into a river where the riverbed is steep and deep or the current is strong.
