Is your construction fleet ready for winter? As cold weather arrives, it’s critical that your heavy machinery runs when you want it to, even if that’s not until the weather turns warm again. Will you operate your equipment through the colder
months, or will you store it for the winter? That will dictate how you winterize it. Ice can build up quickly in cold, wet weather. Failing to take precautions to prevent the destruction of equipment from extreme elements can cost you in parts replacement and down time when your equipment won’t fire up. see WINTER page 30
