Heater operating instructions
Move the lever 1: The quantity of water running through the heat exchanger can be adjusted. If the regulator is fully pushed to the rear, the maximum quantity of coolant flows tothe heater.
SetthenecessaryairflowthroughbuttonS12andstarttheheaterunitthroughthe push-button S205 located on the right control panel.
Move the lever 2: The quantity of new air recirculated and entering the cab is adjusted.
Note!
The best heating effect can be got when the air is recirculated, which means the lever 2 must be fully pushed forward. In this position, a small quantity of external airis mixed with the recirculating air in the cab.
To quickly defrost the windshield:
Point the warm airflow through the vents to the front. Fully push the sliding regulator 3 to the rear. The maximum airflow is blown through the vents in the step onto the windshield.
When the lever 3 is fully pushed forward, part of the warm airflow is blown against the left side window.
Air conditioning operating instructions
To adjust the air conditioner fan: The electric motor is running. Use button S1
To turn on the air conditioning compressor and the condenser fan: The airconditioning can only be turned on if the evaporator fan unit is turned on through button S1 Use button S2

Before initial start up
Check the insulation resistance
Beforeinitial start up and after a long periodof non-use, andbeforethe excavator is connected to the power supply, check the insulation resistance:
The resistance values must never be less than the minimum authorised resistances given in the instruction manual of the electric motor.
If insulation resistances are less than the minimum authorised value: Refer to the procedure in the instruction manual of the electric motor.
Check direction of rotation of electric motor
Beforeinitialoperation,orbeforerestartingtheelectricmotorafterrepairstotheelectrical system, check the direction of rotation of the electric motor. Briefly start and stop the motor, and compare the direction of rotation to the arrows marked on the motor.
Activities before starting

Warm-up procedure for hydraulic circuit
If the excavator is started when the exterior temperature is below 0°C, the operator must do the warm-up procedure:
Make sure that the hydraulic oil temperature is sufficient (refer to lubricating sectioninchapter5)todothisprocedure.Ifthistemperatureisnot sufficientwhena preheating system is installed on the excavator, keep preheating.
Start the electric motor and let it run without load during the first 3 to 5 minutes and make sure that no error symbols are shown on the monitoring display (refer to the functions of the display in chapter 3).
Step 1 - Open louvers and tarpaulins (if installed).
Step 2 - Carefully activate the working hydraulic circuits. Do not reach end positions of piston rod. Operate all movements at reduced speed: and repeat 10 times before moving to next cylinders: 4 times in each direction.
Step 3 - Repeat step 2 a second time.
