[4] 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 feet frozen.
• Remove dirt and water on the machine.
Keep the hydraulic cylinder rod surfaces especially clean to prevent the seal from being
damaged with dirt coming into the seals 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 around the feet of the machine from freezing and allows the
machine to start moving quickly next morning.
• Remove the drain plug of the fuel tank to drain the water in the fuel system to prevent the water
from freezing.
• 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.
[5] AFTER COLD WEATHER HAS PASSED
When the season changes and starts to get warm, take the following action.
• See “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 6.1 USE OF LUBRICATING OIL ACCORDING TO
TEMPERATURES” to change the oil in the system to one with the specified viscosity.
