4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating the machine in hot or cold weather
In cold weather
Follow the recommendations shown below:
Batteries
• They should be fully charged.
Fuel
• To prevent condensation forming and water getting into
the fuel system, fill the fuel tank after each day's work
and drain off any water before starting the next day's
work.
• To prevent crystals forming at
-2 °C ( 35.6 °F ), use fuel
which is rated for the ambient temperature or add an
appropriate antifreeze to the fuel. (Refer to page
6-5 ).
Engine oil
• It should be of the right viscosity for the ambient tem-
perature. (Refer to page 6-5 ).
Hydraulic fluid
• The viscosity must correspond to the ambient temper-
ature conditions. (Refer to page 6-5 ).
Coolant solution
• It must have specifications corresponding to the ambi-
ent temperature. (Refer to page 6-5 ).
In hot weather
Follow the recommendations made below:
• Keep the coolant at the correct level in the coolant
reservoir and in the radiator.
• Use the correct solution of ethylene glycol and water in
the cooling system.
• Test the radiator cap before hot weather starts. Re-
place the cap as required.
• Clean all dirt and debris from the radiator, cooler and
