COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If a power unit model weld shear is to be used during
cold weather, preheat the system hydraulic fluid at low
engine speed.
Power unit models should use normally recommended
fluids with fluid temperature at or above 50° F/10° C
(400 ssu/82 centistokes) before use.
Hand pump models may be warmed by placing them in
a heated compartment.
