1.6.2 PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING ON SNOWY DAYS
When the machine working on the snowy or icy road, even a small slope can make the
machine slide aside, therefore it is important to low the walking speed and avoid a sudden
start, stop or sharp turn, because it has danger of sliding, especially when the machine is
in uphill or downhill status.
On the freezing road, when the temperature rises, the ground will become soft, so the
walking condition will become unstable, in this case, be careful to operate the machine.
After heavy snow, the objects on the road shoulders and roadside were buried in the snow
and unclear to see, so be careful to wipe the snow.
The machine shall be equipped with anti-skid tire chains when walking on the
snow-covered road.
When walking on the snow-covered slope, it is not completely exert a sudden brake. To
slower the speed, it is correct to use engine as a brake, meanwhile, step the brake pedal
for several times. If necessary, lower the bucket down to the ground to stop the machine.
The adhesion force of the ground may greatly change with the effects of the snow.
Therefore, it is necessary to adjust loading capacity to avoid machine sliding aside when
walking.
1.6.3 PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION IN COLD AREAS
After the completion of operation, clean off the water, snow or mud that clung to wires,
cable connectors, switches or sensors, as well as covering parts.
Totally preheat the machine. Prior to the operation of joystick, the machine will response
slowly if it is not totally preheated, this may lead to unexpected accidents.
Operate all joysticks to circulate hydraulic oil in hydraulic system (increase the system
pressure to a specified value, then release the pressure, drain the oil to hydraulic oil tank)
which can warm the hydraulic oil to ensure that the machine is sensitive and prevent
function failure.
If the electrolyte of the battery has frozen, it is dangerous to charge the battery and use
other power supply to start the engine, because it may cause fire. If it is necessary to
charge or use the other power supply to start the engine, unfreeze the electrolyte of the
battery and check whether there is any leakage.
1.6.4 DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE ON SOFT GROUND
Do not operate the machine on soft ground.
Do not let the machine close to the edge of a cliff or its hanging parts and deep pit.
Soil piled on the ground or beside canals is soft and sloppy. The weight or vibration of the
