When releasing the ignition key before the diesel engine starts, wait
for the starter to come to a standstill before the next start attempt, in
order to prevent the starter from being damaged.
If the diesel engine does not start, wait for at least 2 minutes before
carrying out another start attempt such that the starter can cool
down.
8. Let the cold diesel engine warm up in idle position for 3-5 minutes (in case of frost at
1000-1200 min
-1
).
6.3 Winter operation of diesel engine

Keep the batteries in a good state of charge.

Ensure that the viscosity class of the engine oil complies with
the outside temperatures.

Use winter diesel fuel at outside temperatures below 0°C.

Do not use an engine starter spray for starting the diesel engine.

Top up anti-freezing agent early enough.

Observe also the included operating instructions for the diesel
engine.
6.4 Travelling and braking
Only change the direction of motion with the machine being
stationary!
Use the diesel engine brake at minimum engine speed when
travelling downhill (only on roads with a good grip!), thus saving the
service brake.
Travelling with differential lock
Only use the differential lock to start travelling on smooth or soft
ground!
Only switch the differential lock on with the machine being
stationary!
Carefully start travelling if the differential lock has not completely
engaged!
Avoid cornering!
Do not exceed a travelling speed of 5 km/h!
