again.
In cold conditions, -6°C and below, warm the
engine for 5 minutes before operating to prevent
hydraulic system damage.
In extreme cold conditions, -18°C and below,
machines should be equipped with optional cold
start kits. Attempting to start the engine when
temperatures are below -18°C may require the use
of a booster battery.
If the machine is stored for long
periods of time in low
temperatures (below 0° C) with
the secondary boom raised and
extended, the engine may not
start due to system fault.
To remove the fault, move and hold the emergency
power switch and activate the secondary boom up
function until the secondary boom begins
