It may take some time for the solenoid valves to be switched or the power
units may be started abruptly if the oil is cold.
The current hydraulic oil temperature is displayed in the start menu.
For crane operation with loads and without speed limitation, the hydraulic
oil temperature must be at 10 °C (50 °F).
If the temperatures fall below 10 °C (50 °F), proceed as follows:
– From 10 °C to 0 °C (50 °F to 32 °F)
You can carry out crane movements with loads only at normal speed, at
average engine speed and at average operating speed.
– From 0 °C to -15 °C (32 °F to 5 °F)
To preheat, only carry out crane movements without a load . Only operate
at normal speed, at medium engine speed and medium working speed.
– Below -15 °C (5 °F)
You must preheat the hydraulic oil before carrying out crane movements.
Prerequisites – The engine for crane operation is running,
