OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6015 / RH40E Operation Preheating system for engine and hydraulic oil (optional) Preheating system for engine and hydraulic oil, function
When the temperatures of the engine oil, engine coolant and the hydraulic oil are below -10°C: Connect the system to the external power supply.
The preheating system consists of heating elements for engine oil, engine coolant and hydraulic oil.
Switch on the preheating system with switch (51, Fig. 2-36:). The pilot lamp (24, Fig. 2-37:) lights up.
At low outside temperatures, the system facilitates starting of the engine and ensures that the hydraulic system reaches its operating temperature faster. The preheating system is operated electrically with an external supply voltage. This voltage is available at a socket outlet in the frame of the superstructure near the oil cooler. (The system has been set at the factory for a standard supply of 400 volts, threephase AC. Other voltages are available on request.).
Switch off the preheating system with switch (51, Fig. 2-36:) when the engine and the hydraulic system have reached a temperature above 0°C. The pilot lamp (24, Fig. 2-37:) goes out. Switch on the fuel preheating system (see "Fuel preheating system (option)").
Switching the preheating system for engine and hydraulic oil on and off Risk of an electric shock. Check first: Insulation of the socket outlet on the machine in good condition? Insulation of the connecting cable in good condition? Connect the system to the power supply only if the insulation of the components is in perfect condition.
