Komatsu — 14.3 AFTER COLD WEATHER

OPERATION 14.2 PRECAUTIONS AFTER COMPLETION OF WORK Protect the machine from mud and water, which can freeze overnight, preventing movement the following morning. Observe the following precautions. Mud and water in and on the machine should be completely removed. Park the machine on hard, dry ground. If this is not possible, park the machine on wooden boards. The boards will help protect the machine from freezing to the soil. Drain water from the fuel system, to prevent it from freezing. Because the battery capacity drops in low temperatures, cover the battery or remove it from the machine for storage in a warmer place, and install it again the next morning.

14.3 AFTER COLD WEATHER Proceed as follows when resuming warm weather operation. Replace the fuel and oil, use oil of the viscosity specified. For details, see "20. USE OF FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE" on page 3-11. If for any reason permanent antifreeze cannot be used, and ethyl glycol base antifreeze (winter, one-season type) is used instead, or if no antifreeze is used, drain the cooling system completely, then clean out the inside of the cooling system thoroughly, and fill with fresh water. 2-77 WA320-3MC
