Tips On Using the Air-Conditioning System

Preventing the windows from misting up

NOTE: First check that the condensation drain is not blocked.

During the day:

Do not blow cold air at the windshield (do not use window mode while running the air-conditioning system at "max. cool") setting.

If you feel too cool with the air-conditioning system at its "max. cool" setting:

  • Keep the blower running
  • Turn the temperature control to a "less cool" position
  • Leave the air-conditioning system on

If you still feel too cold:

  • Keep the blower running
  • Turn the temp. control to a "warm" setting (in the red zone)
  • Leave the air-conditioning system on
  • If windows mist up, slowly turn the temperature control to a "cooler" position until the windows start to clear

Before you stop the tractor:

  • Keep the blower running
  • Switch off the air-conditioning system
  • Turn the temp. control to a "warm" setting or leave it if it already is at "warm"
  • Keep the blower running for a couple of minutes to dry out the evaporator core

In the morning (air-conditioning system was in use the day before)

During the first start-up period

  • Set air-flow to "footwell" - NOT to "window"!
  • Run the blower
  • Turn the temp. control to "max. heating output" (in the red zone)
  • If you are not actually driving the tractor, it may help to open the cab door or cab window

As soon as hot, dry air comes out the louvers:

  • Set air-flow to "window" - this will dehumidify the windows

When the windows are clear:

  • Set air-flow and temperature to a comfortable setting

If ambient humidity is high or there is moisture inside the cab

  • Turn the air-conditioning system on (at rocker switch), while keeping the temp. control set to "warm"
