OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING IN COLD WEATHERCold weather conditions cause special problems. During these conditions yourmachine will require special start up, and warm up, and maintenance proceduresfor the best performance. Proper cold weather maintenance will extend theservice life of your machine.

1. BATTERIES/ELECTRICALSYSTEM - Clean the batteries andmake sure the batteries are at fullcharge.

NOTE: A fully charged battery at -17°C(0°F) has only 40 percent of the normalstarting power. At -29°C (-20°F) thebattery has only 18 percent of thepower remaining.

Inspect the battery cables andterminals. Clean the terminals andapply electrical terminal sealers(see your dea ler ) to preven tcorrosion.

If you add water to the batteriesand the temperature is below 32°F(0°C), make sure you charge thebatteries or run the engine forapproximately two (2) hours. Thisprocedure wil l prevent batteryfreezing (see Batteries and BoosterBat te ry Connec t ions i n th i smanual.

Inspect the battery cables andterminals. Clean the terminals andapply electrical terminal sealer (seeyour dealer) to prevent corrosion.

2. LUBRICANTS - Make sure youfollow the recommended oil andfilter service for the engine and thehydraulic system as shown in thismanual. Use the correct viscosityoi l in each component for theambient temperatures the machineis operated in (see Lubrication inthis manual).

3. FUEL SYSTEM - Check with yourfuel supplier for the correct coldweather fuel. Engine power will bereduced if wax particles are in thefuel filters.

Check for water in the fuel system.Cold temperatures can causecondensation to form in the fueltank. Check the first stage fuel filterfor water. If no water is found,extend the interval (see Diesel FuelSystem in this manual).

4. COOLING SYSTEM - Check thecoolant mixture before you operatein cold temperatures. A mixture of50% ethylene glycol and 50%water mus t be used in th i smachine. This mixture is used if thelowest ambient temperature isabove -34°F (-37°C). If the ambienttemperature is lower, adjust themixture. It is recommended thatethylene glycol and water be usedin your machine al l year (SeeEngine Cooling System in thismanual).

5. COLD TEMPERATURE STARTINGAIDS See your dealer for extrastarting aids (see Cold WeatherStarting in this manual).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

6. MACHINE WARM-UP - Once theengine has started, run the engineat half throttle (1100 to 1300 RPM)for a minimum of 10 minutes underno load. This will help warm thehydraulic oil and the transmissionoil.

After engine warm-up, enable thepilot controls by pushing down onthe right hand side of the switch onthe instrument control panel. Applyand hold the foot brake, and cycleall hydraulic functions severalt imes. In severe cold weatherconditions, the hydraulic functionsmay be slow to respond. Cycling allthe hydraulic system functionssevera l t imes w i l l wa rm thehydraulic oil and the hydraulicsystem components.

The hydraulic steering can becomes low in severe co ld weatherconditions. Cycle the steering fromfull right to left a minimum of 3 to 5t imes befo re you d r i ve themachine.

NOTE: Make sure there is clearancearound the machine before steering themachine from right to left.

In severe cold weather conditionsthe brakes response can be slow.The use o f cor rec t o i l in thehydraulic/brake system is required.Even with the correct oil in thehydraulic/brake system the first fewtimes the brakes are actuated theremay be some delay before thebrakes are applied. The operatormust actuate the brake pedal aminimum of 8 to 10 times beforethe machine is moved.

When the mach ine has beencorrectly warmed up, apply the footb rake and ho ld , sh i f t t hetransmission to forward push thepark brake to the Off position andrelease the foot brake. Operate themachine in a clear safe area.Check the full operation of themachine. DO NOT operate themachine in third or fourth gear untilthe transmission oil and axle oilhave been warmed up and themachine moves freely.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate themachine in a closed in area.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate themachine on the road until thetransmission oil and axle oil have beencorrectly warmed up. Operate themachine in a clear safe area beforeroad operation.

7. If the machine has been left idlingin cold temperature, the engine willstay warm. But the hydraulic/brakeoil and the axle oil will not staywarm. The oil and components canbecome cold and s low brakefunction response time. If thisshould happen you MUST gothrough the complete machinewarm-up procedure.

8. The transmission is equipped withinternal protection that does notallow the transmission to engagebe low -12°C (10°F) . I f t hetransmission does not engagebelow these temperatures, allow 2to 4 minutes of running in neutral( th i s t ime w i l l var y w i thtemperature), then try again.
