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"
