Measures to be taken at low outside temperatures
Avoid damage to the vehicle and facilitate vehicle start up by taking the
following measures.
• Use the correct mixing ratio of coolant.
• Use engine oil of the correct viscosity class.
• Use fuel designed for low temperatures.
• Fill the fuel level completely at the end of the work shift.
• Ensure that the battery is always fully charged.
• Have a jump-starting aid installed (e.g. engine and hydraulic oil pre-
heating).
NOTICE
At temperatures below -18 °C, an additional starting aid is required,
e.g. fuel, engine oil or coolant heaters.
► Do not connect two batteries in series to generate a starting voltage
of 24 volts.
3.2.3.1 Engine and hydraulic oil preheating
WARNING
Risk of injury due to electric shock!
The engine and hydraulic oil preheating is operated with 230 volts. De-
fective cables can lead to electric shocks which can result in death or ser-
ious injury.
► Run the engine and hydraulic oil preheating only in a dry place.
► Immediately replace malfunctioning cables.
NOTICE
Inadequate coolant and hydraulic oil levels can damage the heating
cartridge of the preheating unit!
► Use preheating only for cold starts for operating times described in
the table (overheating protection).
► Ensure the correct coolant and hydraulic oil level before each heat-
ing, otherwise the heating cartridges may burn out.
► Check for leaks, even when the vehicle is warm.
► The coolant must always have a sufficient amount of antifreeze com-
pound.
► Check cables regularly for damage or aging. Immediately replace a
damaged cable.
The vehicle can be fitted with an engine and hydraulic oil preheating. It
preheats the coolant and hydraulic oil. The following operating times are
recommended depending on outside temperatures.
