COLD TEMPERATURE
PREPARATION
To avoid difficulty when starting during low
temperatures, perform the following procedures.
Oil
Change the lubricating oil to one with a lower
viscosity.
See “LUBRICATING OIL” on page 5-7 for the oil
to be used.
Battery
The battery unit may be operated at an ambient
temperature down to -20°C, but battery
performance may be reduced at low
temperatures.
After Daily Operation
Observe the following to prevent the machine
from not starting or operating due to frozen water
or dirt in or on the machine.
• Remove dirt and water from the machine. Keep
the hydraulic cylinder rod surfaces clean to
prevent seals from being damaged from dirt
mixing with water.
• Park the machine on solid, dry ground. Use
boards as support, if necessary, to park the
machine on.
