6. HANDLING WHEN COLD
6.1 PREPARING FOR LOW TEMPERATURE
In cold conditions, the machine starts to have some difficulty in starting. Take the following actions.
[1] LUBRICATION
Change the lubricating oil to one with a lower viscosity.
See “MAINTENANCE 7.1 USE OF FUEL AND LUBRICATING OIL ACCORDING TO
TEMPERATURE” for the specified viscosity.
[2] COOLANT
• Keep antifreeze away from flames. Antifreeze is a flammable solution. Do not smoke when
handling antifreeze.
• Antifreeze is toxic. Keep it away from your eyes and skin. Should it come into contact with
eyes or skin, wash the affected area with plenty of water and consult a physician
immediately.
• Instruct a vendor to treat the antifreeze added coolant discharged at the time of coolant
replacement and repair, or contact us or our sales service agency. As antifreeze is toxic,
do not drain it into a ditch or spray it on the ground.
CAUTION
Never use antifreezing fluid with methanol, ethanol, and propanol.
See “Maintenance 10.3 Irregular Maintenance [4] Cleaning Engine Cooling System” for the coolant
replacement period and mixing rate of antifreezing fluid.
[3] BATTERY
• The battery produces combustible gas and can be explosive. Do not put fire close to the
battery.
• The battery fluid is a hazardous substance. Keep it away from your eyes and skin. Should
it come into the contact with eyes or skin, wash the affected area with plenty of water and
consult a physician immediately.
• If the battery fluid is frozen, do not charge battery or start the engine using other power
source. Doing so may cause explosion.
• As battery fluid is toxic, do not drain it into a ditch or spray it on the ground.
The battery capacity drops when the temperature decreases.
In this condition, the battery fluid can freeze with low battery charging rate. Keep the charging rate
as close to as 100 %. Keep the battery warm in order to start the engine next morning.
