Take the following precautions at low temperatures to pre-
vent the loader from being damaged and to make the loader
easier to start:
• Use the proper coolant mix.
• Use engine lubricating oil of the proper viscosity class.
• Use diesel fuel for low temperatures.
• Fill the fuel reservoir at the end of the work shift.
• Make sure the battery is always fully charged.
• Install the cold starting aid (see note above!).
Hydraulic and lubricating uids are more viscous
when cold. When ambient temperatures are at or
near the freezing point of 0°C (32°F), permit the
engine, drivetrain and hydraulic system to warm up
at idle speed until the temperature indicator for the
system indicates warming has progressed.
• Operate the wheel loader slowly and smoothly
to accelerate the warming process.
•
Observe the hydraulic system lter pressure
display to determine if pressure is excessive.
•
Do not connect two 12V batteries in series (+
to –) and then connect the remaining battery
poles to the starter or starter solenoid. This will
damage the electrical system
