Matters needing attention for battery:
When the ambient temperature is decreased, the
●
battery capacity will also decrease. If the charge rate
of the battery is low, the electrolytes may be frozen.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep the rate as close to
100% as possible and perform the heat preservation
as possible so that the engine can easily be started up
the next day.
Use chill-proof battery in severe cold district.
●
In order to prevent the vehicle from being not started next day
due to the congelation of sludge, water or snow stuck on the
machine, the following work must be done after completion of
the operation each day:
1.
Thoroughly remove sludge, water or snow stuck on the
machine to prevent from them entering the seals to impair
the seal performance.
2.
Park the vehicle on the dry hard ground. If not possible,
park it on the plank. Using plank may prevent the vehicle
from being frozen onto the ground. This is convenient for
the start of the vehicle next day.
3.
In low temperature conditions, the battery capacity will
decrease as the storage time of the vehicle increases. So
it is necessary to cover the battery or remove it to a warm
place and reinstall it before operation the next day.
After the cold weather and when it is warmer, you should per-
form as follows:
1.
Replace with proper-sticky fuel, hydraulic oil and lubrica-
tion oil for all components.
2.
If the permanent anti-freeze fluid was not used, it is nec-
essary to fully drain out the water in the radiator, clean the
radiator, and replace the cooling water.
