CAUTIONS AFTER COMPLETING THE OPERATION
Observe the following to prevent the machine from not being able to function the next morning because of
deposits such as dirt and water and materials around the undercarriage being frozen.
• Remove dirt and water on the machine.
Keep the hydraulic cylinder rod surface especially clean to prevent seal from being damaged with dirt
coming into the seal together with the water drops.
• Park the machine on solid and dry ground.
If there is no such location to park, place a board on the ground to park the machine on the board. This
prevents the ground and around the undercarriage of the machine from freezing and allows the
machine to start moving quickly next morning.
• Open the drain valve of the fuel tank to drain the water in the fuel system to prevent the water from
freezing.
• Fill up the fuel tank to full. Doing so prevents water drops from being formed in space inside the tank
due to a change in temperature.
• The battery ability remarkably drops at low temperature.
Cover the battery or remove the battery from the machine and keep it in a warm place to be installed
next morning.
• If the electrolyte level is low, refill with distilled water next morning before starting the operation.
Do not refill after the operation in order to prevent the water from freezing during the night.
AFTER COLD WEATHER HAS PASSED
When the season changes and starts to get warm, take the following action.
• For each system’s fuel / lubricant, refer to “Inspection and Maintenance 7.1 Use of Fuel and Lubricating
Oil According to Temperature” and change to one with the specified viscosity for the system.
