Cold Weather Operation

Use winter grade fuel. Fill tank at the end of each day to prevent condensation.

Fuel tank cap (A) is vented.

The combine is shipped from the factory with permanent type ethylene glycol antifreeze in the cooling system.

Leave antifreeze in cooling system all year around. If coolant is lost or drained, it must be replaced with the correct coolant and conditioner (See the recommendations given in Fuels and Lubricants section in this manual).

After adding antifreeze, turn heater on and run engine until it reaches operating temperature. This mixes the solution and circulates it through the system.

IMPORTANT: Do not try to drain cooling system to protect against freezing. The heater does not drain completely, so freeze damage might result.

When the temperature drops below freezing, keep batteries fully charged. Discharged batteries will freeze.

In freezing weather, do not add water to batteries unless engine is to be run for 30 minutes or more or batteries are charged after water is added.

Fill optional windshield washer reservoir with automotive washer solution.
