not to let water get on these parts.
In addition, never bring any open flame near them.

chine equipped with the air conditioner, refer to the tables
in “METHOD FOR CLEANING AIR CONDITIONER AIR

er with the engine at low speed from time to time and per-
form cooling or dry heating for several minutes.

tioner may not work. In this case, circulate recirculation air to warm the inside of the cab. After that, turn the
