3. Battery
The freezing point of the electrolyte is approximately ─35°C when the battery
is completely charged. The specic gravity is 1,280 (at 20°C). Always keep
the battery fully charge, because if it is not charged, the specic gravity will
decrease. This will increase the possibility that the electrolyte will freeze.
In particularly cold weather, remove the cables to prevent the battery from
discharging, and insulate it with a cover.
Handling during Summer
1. Engine oil, transmission oil, differential gear oil, hydraulic oil
Refer to the table of Recommended Oils and Grease on page 111~114, and
select oils suitable to the temperature.
2. Cooling water
The cooling water will evaporate easily during the summer, so inspect it often.
If insufcient, replenish with soft-water (tap water).
3. Battery
The water content of the electrolyte will evaporate easily during the summer,
so inspect it often, and replenish with distilled water as required. Do not over-
ll, or the electrolyte will overow during operation causing corrosion or short
circuits.
