WARMING UP THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Procedure
IMPORTANT
When the temperature is below -30°, hydrostatic oil
must be warmed up before starting. The hydrostatic
system will not get enough oil at low temperatures
and will be damaged. Park the machine in an area
where the temperature will be above -18°C if possible.
I-2007-1285
Let the engine run at least 5 minutes to warm up the
engine and hydraulic fluid before operating the excavator.
Figure OI-59
If the Fluid Pressure Icon (Item 1) [Figure OI-59] comes
ON when operating the excavator (cold), more warm up
time is needed.
