Operation 3.2. Description of the individual elements 3.2.12. Air-conditioning NOTE Only operate the air-conditioning with the engine running. Run the air-conditioning for at least 10 minutes every month irrespective of season. This prevents the compressor shaft seal from drying out. Do not let the air conditioning system run at idle speed for long periods, as this would empty the battery. The windows and doors of the operator’s cab must be closed when operating the air conditioning. We recommend ventilating the operator’s cab thoroughly first when starting the machine and switching on the air conditioning if the machine has been standing in bright sunshine for any length of time.
G0065014b.eps Switching on the air-conditioning 1. Open all air circulation nozzles (see arrows). 2. Turn the rotary switch (1) of the fan to position '4'. 3. Set the temperature control lever (2) to 'cold'. 4. Press the switch for the air conditioning. The air conditioning system is now switched on and the control lamp in the switch shines blue. The greatest cooling effect is achieved with this setting, particularly if the engine is running at high revs. As soon as the required temperature has been reached, turn the blowers down by one stage and carry out any further adjust- ment of the temperature using the temperature control.
The lowest blower setting can be used if only a low cooling effect is required. 1 2 5. The air is distributed by means of air outlet nozzles. You may open or close the nozzles individually. The exhaust direction can be varied using the diffusing disks. You can direct the air ventilation nozzles onto the front windshield and the air ventilation nozzles (arrows) onto the side windows.
