Cold Weather Warm-Up
IMPORTANT:
If hydraulic oil is cold, hydraulic functions move slowly. Do not attempt machine operations until hydraulic functions move at close-to-normal cycle times.
In extremely cold conditions, an extended warm-up period will be necessary.
Avoid sudden operation of hydraulic functions until engine is thoroughly warmed up. Remove ice, snow, and mud before operation.
1.
Run engine at 1/2 speed for 5 minutes.
2.
Cycle all hydraulic functions and slowly drive machine in forward and reverse to distribute warm oil until all functions operate freely.
