Original Instructions
6.4.3 High ambient temperature
n
Only use hydraulic oils of sufficient viscosity.
In summer and in tropical climates, the minimum re-
quirement is a hydraulic oil of type HLP 68.
6.4.4 Low ambient temperature
Ambient temperature below -20 °C (-4 °F):
You must heat up the hydraulic attachment and the car-
rier when working in ambient temperatures of below
-20 °C (-4 °F).
Preferably park the carrier and the hydraulic attachment
in a heated, sheltered space while not using it.
NOTICE
Hydraulic oil too cold
Operating the hydraulic attachment while hydraulic oil is
still cold will damage the seals of the hydraulic parts.
u
Do not operate the hydraulic attachment until the
temperature of the hydraulic oil it at least 0 °C
(32 °F).
n
Start the carrier as instructed by the carrier manufac-
turer.
n
Let the carrier warm up until the operating tempera-
ture required by the manufacturer has been reached.
n
Lift the hydraulic attachment using the boom function
so that it hangs vertically.
n
Close, open and turn the hydraulic attachment during
the carrier warming-up phase.
NOTICE
Damage to hydraulic parts
Hot hydraulic oil causes damage to subcooled hydraulic
attachments.
u
Do not fill the hydraulic system with hot hydraulic oil.
The temperature of the hydraulic oil of the carrier must
be at least 0 °C (32 °F).
n
Start the hydraulic attachment, once the temperature
has reached 0 °C (32 °F).
n
During operations, leave the carrier engine and
pumps running even during breaks.
6.5 Prohibited operation
6.5.1 Unsafe base
WARNING
Danger of tipping
The carrier can topple over and cause injuries and dam-
age.
u
Only work with the hydraulic attachment when the
carrier is on a safe base.
6.5.2 Moving the carrier
n
Never relocate the carrier sideways by placing the
hydraulic attachment on the ground to lift the carrier.
This would seriously damage the hydraulic attach-
ment.
