warming up the machine (hydraulic oil) is
dangerous, as response will be slow and
the equipment may move in unexpected
ways. Be sure to sufficiently warm up the

levers suddenly when the hydraulic oil
temperature is below 20°C (68°F). The
proper hydraulic oil temperature during
operation is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F), but
if operations must be performed at lower
temperatures, warm up the hydraulic oil
to at least 20°C (68°F).
