WARNING
To avoid gas explosions, do not bring fire or sparks near the battery.
Battery electrolyte is dangerous. If it gets in your eyes or on your skin, wash it off with large amounts of water, and consult a
doctor.
When the ambient temperature drops, the capacity of the battery will also drop. If the battery charge ratio is low, the
battery electrolyte may freeze. Maintain the battery charge as close as possible to 100%. Insulate it against cold
temperature to ensure the machine can be started easily the next morning.
REMARK
Measure the specific gravity and calculate the charging rate from the following conversion table.

AFTER COMPLETION OF WORK
The undercarriage, belt conveyor and feeder may be frozen due to mud and water on them, hindering the engine
from starting up the next morning. To prevent such a trouble, observe the following.
Remove the mud and water on the machine.
Park the machine on the hard and dry ground.
If a ground of such conditions is not available, place wooden boards on the ground and park the machine on them.
That practice will prevent the undercarriage from being frozen, keeping it off the ground, and the machine can
normally be started the next morning.
Open the drain valve and drain any water collected in the fuel system to prevent it from freezing.
As the battery capacity drastically drops in low temperatures, cover or remove the battery from the machine, store
the battery in a warm place, and install it again the next morning.
If the electrolyte level is low, add distilled water in the morning before beginning work. Do not add water after the
day's work to prevent diluted electrolyte in the battery from freezing during the night.
The machine can be protected from fast cooling down during the night time either by parking it in a garage or
covering it with tarpaulin.
Disconnect the hose from the water sprinkler nozzle or drain all water in it.
AFTER COLD WEATHER
When the season changes and the weather becomes warmer, do as follows.
Replace the oil in each component and fuel with those of the designated viscosity, following the instructions set
forth in "USE OF FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (PAGE
4-14)".
