If it is suspected that the gearbox fails, just dismantle the front/rear propeller shafts and
then get the loader towed.
4.6OPERATION IN COLD WEATHER
4.6.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION AT LOW TEMPERATURE
If the ambient temperature is too low, it will be difficult to start up the engine and the
radiator may get frozen. Therefore, the following operations shall be carried out:
1. Only low-viscosity fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricating oil may be used, and anti-freezing
fluid must be added into engine coolant.
2. Precautions for use of anti-freezing fluid:
Be sure not to use any anti-freezing fluid which contains methanol, ethanol or
propanol.
Be sure not to use any anti-leakage agent, no matter it is used alone or together with
anti-freezing fluid.
Be sure not to mix up anti-freezing fluids of different designation.
When replacing the anti-freezing fluid, please refer to the nameplate on the rear end
of the loader for the concentration of anti-freezing fluid.
NOTE: The anti-freezing fluid shall be kept away from open flame, and no smoking
is permitted when filling the anti-freezing fluid.
3. Precautions for Use of Battery
When the ambient temperature lowers, the capacity of the battery will reduce. If the
charging rate of the battery is too low, the electrolyte may get frozen. Therefore, if possible,
