Section IV. OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
2-12.
OPERATION IN EXTREME COLD (below O deg C).
a. Locate the propelling unit in a shed or building whenever possible. If the unit is operated, protect it from
prevailing winds if possible, and cover it with a tarpaulin when not in use.
b. Lubricate the propelling unit in accordance with the mandatory lubrication instructions in Chapter 3 of this
manual and L05-2010-205-12.
c.
Avoid excessive handling and bending of hose lines, which become brittle at low temperatures.
d. Keep the fuel tank filled with fuel to prevent the formation of ice crystals. Such crystals will clog the fuel
system.
2-13. OPERATION IN EXTREME HEAT.
a. Lubricate in accordance with the mandatory lubrication instructions in Chapter 3 of this manual and LO5-2010-
205-12.
b.
Check belt tension frequently. Improper belt tension often results in over-heating.
c. Fill the fuel tank at the end of each days operation, especially in areas where the temperature drops sharply at
night. This will prevent condensate from forming in the fuel tank.
d.
Keep the engine clean. Service the engine air cleaner as often as necessary.
2-14.
OPERATION IN SALT WATER AREAS.
a.
Wipe the unit dry at frequent intervals, with particular emphasis on the engine.
b. If the unit becomes encrusted with salt, wash it with fresh water, taking care not to damage the electrical
system with water.
c. Coat exposed polished or machined metal surfaces with a suitable preservation material after first removing
any accumulation of rust.
