Do not remove the air cleaner element when snow packing occurs. This could cause severe engine damage. Instead, rework the air intake so air is taken in under the hood.Do not use a torch to heat a compartment. This causes fires, burns wiring, gaskets and seals, or melts the battery case.When using canvas covers, do not install them near exhaust systems. This helps to prevent fires.
Check the air cleaner daily before starting the machine. If you operate the machine in heavy snow, attach a burlap sack loosely to the precleaner. By moving freely, the sack will prevent the snow from accumulating around the precleaner. Keep the burlap sack away from heated parts. The hot exhaust piping may ignite the burlap sack. Also, make sure that the burlap sack does not touch any moving parts.In order to assist in warm-up, block the radiator. Blocking the radiator will restrict air from the fan. Additional items may be needed to assist in warm-up. The use of the following items may be required: coolant heaters, block heaters, tents and additional batteries.Before entering the operator's station, inspect the condition of the following parts: hydraulic hoses, tires and fan drive belts. Carefully inspect these components for any of these conditions: cuts, cracks and worn spots. Check all electrical wiring and check electrical connections for any fraying or for damaged insulation.If the machine is equipped with a gasoline starting engine, check the gasoline tank and check the sediment bowl. At every fifty service hours, check for moisture and check for dirt.
