OPERATION AND USE
id.: D 70 SL REV. 00 02/11/2009
If you are forced to work at temperatures approaching 0°C, check that the radiator is fi lled with an antifreeze
mixture to prevent water freezing problems.
- Check the quality of the antifreeze coolant at least once a year, for example, at the beginning of the cold
season. The coolant must be changed every two years.
- The antifreeze mixture must be made up of equal quantities of antifreeze and water.The corrosion inhibitor
contained in the antifreeze must be diluted if using a solution with less than 50% antifreeze. Concentrations
of more than 50% antifreeze may have a negative effect on coolant performance.
- Use an antifreeze of the type and brand as indicated in the RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS
table and calculate the percentage water/antifreeze in relation to the ambient temperature using the table
provided by the manufacturer.
- After refi lling/topping-up, run the engine for a few minutes to allow the water and antifreeze to mix well.
CAUTION: To use the vehicle at low temperatures, you also need to change the lubricants and use
types with an appropriate viscosity (see the RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS
TABLE).
4.7 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE IN COLD CLIMATE CONDITIONS
4.8 PRECAUTIONS IN THE EVENT OF LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
CAUTION: Before proceeding, always read the safety regulations for the operations to be carried out
as set out in Chapter 3.
4.9 WORKING PHASES
It is essential that the operator becomes familiar with all the controls and, for a fi rst period of time, practices
in a relatively isolated area where he will freely perform all the manoeuvres and operations, which will soon
become routine operations by regularly using the vehicle.
This chapter analyses all the working phases that should be carried out in sequence, in order to obtain optimal
vehicle performance and comply with all the safety regulations.
1 - Before getting on the vehicle (checks and warnings).
2 - Correct use of the vehicle on slopes
3 - Dump body loading
4 - Dump body unloading
CAUTION: During road transfer, the driving post must face forward.
CAUTION: Always fasten the seatbelts.
CAUTION: Before proceeding, always read the safety regulations for the operations to be carried out
as set out in Chapter 3.
If the vehicle is not to be used for a long period of time, follow the instructions below.
- Clean the vehicle and lubricate through the grease nipples.
- Fill the fuel tank up to maximum level to prevent the formation of rust.
- Remove the battery, store it in a warm place and recharge it at least once a month.
- Protect the jack rods with grease to prevent encrustations and corrosion.
- Position the vehicle in a sheltered place and/or cover it with a waterproof sheet.
- Do not leave biodesel (where used) inside the engine supply circuit.
- To keep the engine lubricated, let it run for at least 20 minutes no less than once a week.
CAUTION: For more information, contact an AUTHORISED FIORI WORKSHOP.
