OPERATION
Handling in Cold Weather
Cautions after Completing Operations
Heed the following in order to prevent dirt,
water, or other objects stuck on the machine
as well as the lower body from freezing:
¡
Remove any dirt or water from the body.
In particular, water droplets on the
hydraulic cylinder rod surfaces could
freeze, and if dirt enters into the seals
along with this, the seals could break.
¡
Park the machine on a dry, hard surface.
If no appropriate place can be found, put
boards down and park the machine on
them.
¡
Drain any water from the fuel tank to
prevent freezing.
Refer to page 116 “Draining the Fuel
Tank”.
¡
To p r e v e n t d e c r e a s e d b a t t e r y
performance, place a cover over the
battery or remove it from the machine and
store it in a warm place.
Also add battery fluid before starting the
next morning. If battery fluid is added after
completing operations, the distilled water
may not mix, resulting in freezing.
After Cold Weather is Over
Perform the following after cold weather is
over:
¡
Change the fuel and the oils for the
different devices with those specified on
the Fuel and Lubricant Chart.
Refer to page 96 “Fuel and Lubricant
Chart”.
¡
When using one-season type antifreeze
coolant, completely drain the antifreeze
coolant, carefully clean the inside of the
coolant system, then add tap water.
Refer to page 123 “Cleaning the Engine
Cooling System”.
Preparing for Cold Weather
In cold weather, it may be difficult to start the
engine and the coolant may freeze. Make
the preparations described below.
Changing the Fuel and Lubricant
Change the fuel, hydraulic oil and engine oil
to types suited for cold conditions.
Refer to page 96 “Fuel and Lubricant Chart”.
Engine Coolant
The coolant is combustible. Keep flames
away.
Use long-life coolant (antifreeze) and tap
water for the engine coolant.
Supplement: New machine are delivered
with JIS Type 2 long-life coolant (antifreeze)
at a concentration of 30% (U.S.A. 50%).
Refer to page 96 “Fuel and Lubricant Chart”.
Battery
As the temperature drops, the battery
performance decreases.
Inspect the battery. If the charge is low,
contact a Takeuchi sales or service outlet to
have the battery charged.
Refer to page 115 “Inspecting the Battery
Fluid Level and Replenishing”.
