OPERATION
EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS
HANDLING PROCEDURE
Use this engine preheating heater in a season when the ambient temperature goes down below - 20°C (4°F), or
when it is difficult to start the cold engine though the ambient temperature stays above - 20°C (4°F).
NOTICE
For details of the oil to use, see "RECOMMENDED FUEL, COOLANT, AND LUBRICANT (PAGE 4-10)".
Method of operating
WARNING
Always lower the work equipment completely to the ground.
Always wipe off any oil or fuel on the engine preheating heater or nearby parts.
Always remove dry leaves or other flammable materials accumulated inside the engine room.
Always check that the engine oil and engine coolant are at the specified level.
Before passing electricity through the preheater, check that there is no damage to the covering of the wires. If any damage is
found, replace or repair the wire.
WARNING
Never connect the cables after the power switch has been turned ON. This is dangerous.
Check that the grounding wiring is properly grounded before turning the power switch ON.
1. After completing operations with the machine, park the machine near the power supply facility (in a place where
the external power input cable will reach the power supply). This will make it possible to use the preheater when
starting the engine the next time.
NOTICE
Park the machine on level ground.
Take action to prevent the track shoes from freezing and sticking to the ground surface.
Covering the machine will make it easier to start the engine.
