Air conditioning (optional equipment)
IMPORTANT! Make sure that the compressor starts up a
couple of times during the week so that its seals are
lubricated.
For health reasons you should not lower the temperature in the
cab more than 6 °C (11 °F) below the outside temperature.
In damp weather
Before switching off the air conditioning, slightly raise the
temperature to avoid misting in damp weather.
Short rain showers
Do not switch off the air conditioning during short rain showers, as
the windows may mist up when the air conditioning stops. The air
conditioning only works when the engine is running and performs
best when the windows are closed.
Ask a workshop authorised by Volvo CE to check the air
conditioning once a year.
Climate control system, adjusting
These instructions are basic recommendations. Each operator
should experiment to achieve the best possible working
environment in the cab, i.e. the right temperature without a
draught.
Summer
Adjustment for machines with or without air conditioning.
On machines with air conditioning the switch should be pressed in.
Winter
Adjustment for machines with or without air conditioning.
On machines with air conditioning the switch should not be
pressed in.
