16. TROUBLESHOOTING
16.1.2 MAINTENANCE OF AIR COMPRESSOR
‡ When storing the machine for long time (1 month or longer)
NOTICE
When using the compressor after storing the machine or leaving the air conditioner unused for long
time (1 month or longer), warm the inside of the cab to at least 10°C by running the engine idle, then
operate the air conditioner at the MAX COOL mode.

operation.
‡ If the machine is stored for long time, oil in the compressor is reduced (it flows to another
components).
16.2 METHOD OF TOWING MACHINE
 WARNING
Injury or death could result if a disabled machine is towed
incorrectly or if there is a mistake in the selection of the wire
rope or drawbar.
‡ Always confirm that the wire rope or drawbar used for
towing has ample strength for the weight of the machine
being towed.
‡ Never use a wire rope which has cut strands (A), reduced
diameter (B), or kinks (C). There is danger that the rope may
break during the towing operation.
‡ Always wear leather gloves when handling wire rope.
‡ Never tow a machine on a slope.
‡ Never go between the towing machine and the towed ma-
chine during the towing operation.
‡ If the machine moves suddenly, a load is applied suddenly to
the towing wire or drawbar, and the towing wire or drawbar
may break. Move the machine gradually to a constant speed.
‡ Be extremely careful if there is a failure in the engine or brake
system: the brakes will not work.
‡ If the steering and the brakes on the disabled machine cannot
be operated, do not let anyone ride on the disabled machine.
