WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN COLD AREAS After completing operations, remove all water, snow or mud from the wiring harness connectors and/or sensors. Cover these parts. If the water freezes, it will cause malfunctions when the machine is used, which may lead to accidents. Warm up the machine thoroughly. If the machine is not thoroughly warmed up, control lever operation and machine reaction will be slow, leading to accidents.
Operate the control levers to relieve the hydraulic pressure (raise to above the set pressure for the hydraulic circuit and release the oil to the hydraulic tank) to warm up the oil in the hydraulic circuit. This ensures good response from the machine and prevents malfunctions. Do not charge the battery or start the engine with a different power source, if the machine’s battery electrolyte is frozen. There is danger that this will ignite the battery. Before charging the battery or starting the engine with a different power source, make sure the battery electrolyte has thawed. Check for leakage of electrolyte before starting. Battery charge rate WA450-3MC 1-18
