At low outside temperatures
5.4.8 Precaution measures for various temperature conditions
At high outside temperatures
Take the following precautions at high temperatures to pre-
vent the loader from being damaged:
• Regularly check the cooling system:
-
Keep the engine coolant and oil coolers clean
-
Make sure that the coolant level is always correct
-
Use the proper coolant mix.
-
Regularly check the cooling system for leaks
-
Regularly check the condition and tension of the fan
pulley
• Use engine lubricating oil of the proper viscosity class.
• Regularly check the engine air filter.
• Do not use starting aids such as ether. The
manifold heating system can ignite the ether,
causing an explosion.
• Snow, mud and freezing rain reduce traction.
Reduce speed and avoid slopes under these
conditions.
• Maintain the windshield cleaning fluid system
and keep all windows clean. Visibility is a basic
necessity for safe operation.
Additional starting aids may be required if the tem-
perature is –18°C (0°F) or less. Typically, these aids
are auxiliary engine oil and coolant heaters along
with additional battery cranking capacity.
