COLD WEATHER OPERATION
AFTER COMPLETION OF WORK
To prevent mud, water, or the undercarriage from freezing and making it impossible for the machine to move on the
following morning, observe the following precautions.
Remove all the mud and water from the machine body. In particular, wipe the hydraulic cylinder rods clean to
prevent damage to the seal caused by mud, dirt, or drops of water on the rod from getting inside the seal.
Park the machine on hard, dry ground.
If this is impossible, park the machine on boards.
The boards prevent the tracks from freezing to the ground, and allow the machine to be moved the next morning.
Open the drain valve and drain any water collected in the fuel system to prevent it from freezing.
Fill the fuel tank to capacity. This minimizes moisture condensation in the tank when the temperature drops.
AFTER COLD WEATHER
When the season changes and the weather becomes warmer, do as follows.
Replace the fuel and oil for all parts with oil of the viscosity specified.
