- The machines designed by MANITOU are designed to be used in the following temperature range:
• Minimum temperature: -20°C
• Maximum temperature: +45°C
- Special features are available, as an option, for particularly cold environments.
For operation under average climatic conditions, i.e. : between -15 °C and + 35 °C, correct levels of lubricants in all
the circuits are checked in production. For operation under more severe climatic conditions, before starting up, it
is necessary to drain all the circuits, then ensure correct levels of lubricants using lubricants properly suited to the
relevant ambient temperatures. It is the same for the cooling liquid.
- A platform operating in an area without fire extinguishing equipment must be equipped with an individual extinguisher.
There are solutions, consult your dealer.
