COLD WEATHER OPERATION
The following recommendations are for operating SANY machines in below-freezing temperatures. See “Key
Switch” on page 3-14 for details on using the key switch to preheat the engine for cold-weather starting.
Battery in Cold Weather
In cold climates, battery efficiency will decline. Electrolytes can freeze if the battery charge is low. Keep the
battery charged near 100% and in a warm area if possible.
Engine Lubricants, Fuel, and Engine Coolant in Cold Weather
When operating the machine in low temperatures, the engine may be difficult to start, the fuel line may freeze, and
oil may become more viscous. The correct grade of oil for the prevailing temperature must be used in the engine
crankcase. Diesel fuel must have a pour point of 10°F (6°C) lower than the lowest expected temperature.

Track Cleaning in Cold Weather
When the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) and mud is built up on the tracks, swing the upper structure 90° and
raise the machine so that one track is off the ground. Rotate the track forward and backward to remove the mud
from the sprocket, track rollers, and idlers.
WARNING!
Before proceeding with any battery maintenance procedure, observe the following
precautions:
• The top of the battery must be kept clean to prevent plugging of the battery vents. Regularly
wash the top of the battery to prevent the battery vents from plugging.
• Battery gases are explosive. Never smoke around batteries or expose them to sparks or
open flames. Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with batteries.
• Battery acid can cause burns or injury. If battery acid makes contact with your skin or eyes,
flush the area immediately with fresh water and seek medical attention.
Failure to follow this warning could result in death or serious injury.
