Operating The Machine With Hot Weather - Case WX145 Operator's Manual

SECTION 3

OPERATING THE MACHINE WITH HOT WEATHER

Air density decreases as altitude or ambient temper-
ature increases. As a result of this, the engine's
maximum output, quality of exhaust gas, tempera-
ture level and, in extreme cases, starting behaviour,
are impaired. Engine can be used at altitudes up to
1000 metres (3280.83 ft) and temperatures up to
30 °C (86 °F) for mobile operations. If the engine is
to operate under more severe conditions (at higher
altitudes or temperatures), it will be necessary to
reduce the injected fuel quantity and thus engine
power.
Observe the following recommendations:
Maintain the correct level of coolant solution in the
coolant reservoir.
Check the condition of the cooler cap before start-
ing. Replace the cap if necessary.
Clean the radiator and the engine carefully.
Check the condition of the alternator and blower
belt.
Use lubricants with the recommended degree of vis-
cosity.
Use a suitable coolant.
