NOTE:
A engine block heater is available as a Dealer Installed Accessory (DIA). This heater allows for easier starting
in temperatures below
-12.2 °C
(

) by warming the engine coolant.
NOTICE:
When starting the machine after long down periods, avoid immediate use of hydraulics. It is necessary
to allow time for enough lubrication of all moving parts before subjecting them to work loads, particularly if outdoor
temperatures approach 0°C (32°F ). Run the engine at 1300 to 1500 RPM for approximately fifteen minutes to bring
the hydraulic oil up to normal operating temperature. Failure to comply could seriously damage machine.
