COLD WEATHER OPERATION
When operating the machine in low temperatures, the engine may be difficult to start, the fuel lines may freeze, and
oil may become more viscous. Select fuels and lubricants according to the air temperature.
Engine Coolant in Cold Weather
If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 32°F (0°C), check the engine coolant mixture ratios. Add
concentrated engine coolant to the cooling system if necessary.
Battery in Cold Weather
In cold climates, battery efficiency will decline. Electrolytes can freeze if the battery charge is low. Keep the
battery charged near 100% and keep the battery in a warm area if possible.
Track Cleaning in Cold Weather
When the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) and mud is built up on the tracks, swing the upper structure 90° and
raise the machine so one track is off the ground. Rotate the track forward and backward to remove the mud from
the sprocket, track rollers, and idlers.
After the Cold Season
•
Replace the fuel and engine oil with fuel and oil of the specified viscosity.
If permanent ethylene glycol engine coolant was not used and ethanol engine coolant is used as an alternative,
drain and flush the cooling system completely. Add new ethylene glycol engine coolant to the cooling system.
WARNING!
Before proceeding with any battery maintenance procedure, observe the following
precautions:
• The top of the battery must be kept clean to prevent plugging of the battery vents.
Regularly wash the top of the battery to prevent the battery vents from plugging.
• Battery gases are explosive never smoke around batteries or expose them to sparks or
open flames. Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with batteries.
• Battery acid can cause burns or injury. If battery acid makes contact with your skin or eyes,
flush the area immediately with fresh water and seek medical attention.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
