During machine operation, the generated innate heat counteracts a potential freezing of individual
components.
Machine operation in Summer:
Anti-freeze is not required for the regulating air at ambient temperatures of more than 0 °C.
4.6.3 Option oa
Optional battery isolating switch
The «battery isolating switch» disconnects the battery completely from the machine's electrical sys‐

Options for operating in fire hazard areas
Diesel engines represent a potential source of ignition in environments with concentrations of gas,
vapour or dust, and may cause major fires with disastrous consequences for people, the environ‐
ment and the production.
For the operation in fire hazard areas, the machine is equipped with the following accessories:
■
Engine air intake shut-off valve
■ Spark arrestor
4.6.4.1 Option lb
Engine air intake shut-off valve
If flammable gases and vapours are drawn by the Diesel engine from the environment into the air
intake, they will act like catalytic converters. This causes a sudden and uncontrolled increase in en‐
gine speed that can result in serious mechanical damage. Without appropriate preventive meas‐
ures, the engine and compressor can be destroyed. Explosion or fire are also possible.
