• When the ambient temperature is low, the capacity of the battery considerably drops. Cover it, or remove it
from the machine to place it in the warm place. Restore it again before the operation.
• If the electrolyte level is low, add distilled water in the morning before beginning the work. Do not add water
after the day's work to prevent diluted electrolyte in the battery from freezing during the night.
PRECAUTIONS AFTER DAILY WORK COMPLETION
The machine may get stuck and does not move due to mud and water which become frozen around the under-
carriage of the machine. Observe the following in order to prevent the machine from being frozen.
• Remove all the mud and water from the machine body. In particular, wipe the hydraulic cylinder rods clean
to prevent the seal from being damaged by mud or dirt together with drops of water on the rod which en-
tered inside the seal.
• Place the machine on a firm, dry ground.
If there is no firm and dry ground, park the machine on boards.
This prevents the undercarriage from freezing to the ground surface, and allows the machine to be started
easily the next morning.
• Open the drain valve at the bottom of the fuel tank to drain the water accumulated in the fuel system and
prevent it from freezing.
• The battery function decreases remarkably at low temperature.
Cover it, or remove it from the machine to place it in the warm place. Restore it again before the operation.
• If the electrolyte level is low, add the distilled water in the morning before beginning the work.
Do not add the distilled water after the day's work to prevent the battery electrolyte from freezing during the
night.
AFTER COLD WEATHER SEASON
When the season changes and the weather becomes warmer, do as follows.
Replace the fuel and oil for all equipment with the ones of the specified viscosity by referring to “METHOD FOR
USING FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE”.
