Cold Weather OperationUse winter grade fuel. Fill tank at the end of each day to prevent condensation. Fuel tank cap (A) is not 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. 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 at least 30 minutes or batteries are charged after water is added. Fill optional windshield washer reservoir with automotive washer solution. 9540 and 9560 WTS Combines: One glow plug on 9540 combines and 6 glow plugs on 9560 combines with 6.8L engine are used to warm up the intake air. When the key is turned from OFF to ACCESSORIES AND RUN, the top line of the tachometer displays "HEAT"; at the same time, the bottom line displays the pre-heating time counting down to zero. As soon as the bottom line of the tachometer displays "0", the engine can be started. |
