– From 0 °C to 10 °C (50 °F to 32 °F)
• To preheat, carry out crane movements with loads only in normal oper-
ation mode, at average engine speed and at average operating speed.
– From 0 °C to -15 °C (32 °F to 5 °F)
• To preheat, only carry out crane movements without a load. Only
operate at normal speed, at medium engine speed and medium
working speed.
– Below -15 °C (5 °F)
Crane movements are not permitted. Preheat the hydraulic oil first.
