In low temperature situations, take the following
precautions. They will make for easier starting and prevent
possible damage to your machine.
1 Use the correct viscosity engine lubricating oil.
2 If available use a low temperature diesel fuel.
3 Use the correct coolant mixture.
4 Keep the battery at full charge.
5 Fill the fuel tank at the end of each work period. This
will help to prevent condensation forming on the tank
walls.
6 Protect the machine when not in use. Park the
machine inside a building or cover it with a tarpaulin.
7 Install a cold weather starting aid. In very low
temperatures, -18°C (0°F) and below, additional
starting aids may be needed. Examples are fuel, oil
and coolant heaters. Ask your JCB distributor for
advice.
Important: Do not connect two batteries in series to give
24 volts for starting as this can cause damage to the
electrical circuits.
8 Remove snow from the engine compartment before
starting otherwise snow could get into the air filter.
