Operating Environment
General
The machine can be operated effectively in a temperature range from -20°C (-4.0°F) to 46°C (114.7°F).
Charging may be restricted in high and low ambient conditions. The recommended temperature range for
charging is from -20°C (-4.0°F) to 46°C (114.7°F). Consult your local JCB dealer for more information.
In high and low temperature conditions, take the following precautions. They will make it easier to start and
prevent possible damage to your machine.
Operating in Low Temperatures
1. Use the correct grade of hydraulic oil.
Refer to: Fluids, Lubricants and Capacities (Page 156).
2. Keep all the batteries at full charge.
3. Protect the machine when its not in use. Park the machine inside a building or cover it with a tarpaulin.
Operating in Extremely Low Temperatures
In extremely low temperatures (below 0°C (32.0°F)) special care must be taken. Extend the warm up time.
Refer to: Warming Up (Page 38).
1. Until the machine is thoroughly warmed up never try to slew quickly or operate the travel system, or damage
can occur.
2. Before the machine is operated after a warm up, make sure that the boom, dipper bucket, slew and travel
services all operate correctly. A time lag may occur when selecting these services if the hydraulic oil is
not sufficiently warm.
3. If the machine will be left outside for more than one day without being used, take it indoors.
4. Clean the machine after use and put it on wooden blocks. Keep the rams as fully retracted as possible.
Remove any water from the exposed portion of the piston rods.
Operating in High Temperatures
1. Check the hydraulic system regularly, keep the hydraulic at the correct level. Make sure there are no leaks.
2. Make sure that the correct grade of hydraulic oil is used.
3. Check the air vents. Make sure that the air vents to and from the battery compartment and right side intake
are not blocked.
4. Make sure that the batteries are charged.
