TIPS FOR OPTIMUM USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONER

Fast cooling

When the machine is exposed to sunlight for a prolonged period of time, cab temperature can rise very high. For fast cooling, open the side windows and door while ventilating cab inside. After starting the engine: • turn knob (7) clockwise (fan max. position); • turn knob for temperature adjustment (6) to the min. (fully clockwise); • activate the conditioner by turning knob (8) ; • close cab windows and door.

If windows become cloudy:

If inner cab windows become cloudy during rainy days or in very humid conditions, use the air conditioner to reduce humidity level in the cab. When atmosphere is very damp and the air conditioner has run excessively, outer windows may become clouded. If this happens, switch off the air conditioner to balance outside and inside temperature.

Maintenance:

Check the air conditioner filter periodically. To protect compressor parts against lack of lubricant when the machine remains unused (such as in winter), run the air conditioner for some minutes at least once per month with the engine at low idle.
