Transmission operation at low ambient temperatures
Warm up period
The tractor hydraulic oil also serves as the tractor
transmission fluid. During cold weather operation, the
hydraulic oil viscosity increases.
This increase in oil
viscosity restricts the oil's ability to flow and lubricate in
the transmission and hydraulic circuits. The cold oil can
result in abnormal noises and slower operation times due
to the increased oil viscosity.
NOTE:
A warm up time at 50% rated engine speed is rec-
ommended to assure proper vehicle functionality, trans-
mission lubrication and operation.
NOTE:
Do not operate the tractor under full load condition
until the hydraulic oil is sufficiently warmed up.
WARNING
Set the park brake during warm up operation. Set all
shift levers to the "NEUTRAL" positions and place the
PTO clutch lever in the "OFF" position during warm
up operation. Failure to comply could result in death
or serious injury.
