7.2.8 Notes for winter operation
The following points and the relevant notes in the engine instruction manual
should be observed during winter operation.
Hydraulic oil
If the machine has not been used for longer periods of time at temperatures
around and below freezing, warm up the engine by running at medium revs
for approx. 3-5 min.
Engine oil The oil viscosity (SAE class) should be selected according to the ambient
temperature at the machine's place of operation.
Condition of the
battery
A good cold start performance requires a well-charged battery.
Warm up the battery to approx. +20°C (remove the battery after shutting
down the engine and store it in a warm room). This can help to lower the start
limit temperatures by 4-5°C.
Ensure good contact of the terminal connections when installing the battery.
Only tighten terminal screws “hand-tight”, to prevent deformation of the
terminal cones!
Coolant
Check the antifreeze setting before the beginning of the cold season.
Match the antifreeze to the ambient temperature, as required. At the factory,
the antifreeze protection is set to approx. -25° C.
Fuel
Only use commercially available brand-name diesel fuel with a sulfur content
of less than 0.5 %.
Use only winter diesel fuel in winter to prevent line connections becoming
blocked through paraffin deposits. At very low temperatures, troublesome
deposits may also occur when winter diesel is used.
