HANDLING PROCEDURE
Use this preheater in a season when the ambient temperature goes down below - 20°C (-4°F), or when it is difficult
to start the cold engine though the ambient temperature stays above - 20°C (-4°F).
For details of the oil to use, see "RECOMMENDED FUEL, COOLANT, AND LUBRICANT (PAGE 4-12)".
METHOD OF OPERATING
Lower the work equipment to the ground without fail.
Wipe out oil or fuel on the preheater or the nearby parts, if any, without fail.
If dead leaves or other combustibles are accumulated around the power train oil pan and in the engine room, be sure to remove
them.
Be sure to check that the engine oil, power train oil, and engine coolant are at the specified levels.
Before activating the preheater, check that there is no damage to the wire cover, and if any, either repair it or replace with new
one.
It is a dangerous practice to try to connect the cables after turning the power switch ON. Never attempt that.
Check that the grounding wire is properly grounded before turning the power switch ON.
1. If it is anticipated when finishing the day's work that the
preheater will be used again at the next run, park the machine
within the reach of the power unit with an external power input
cable.
NOTICE
Park the machine on the flat ground.
Take an appropriate measure to prevent the track shoes from being
frozen and stuck to the ground.
REMARK
If the machine is covered with a tarpaulin, the engine startup
becomes easier.
