Putting on snow chains

Snow chains can be mounted on the tires to improve grip. In the following table you will find the order numbers for RUD chains which fit on the listed tires. You can also fit snow chains from other manufacturers if these have the proper dimensions.

Winter diesel fuel

Whenever temperatures fall below 0°C, use winter diesel or super diesel fuel or additives recommended in the mainte- nance instructions.

Engine oil for winter operation

Fill engine oil with a suitable SAE class as recommended in the maintenance instructions.

The cold start capability of the engine can be reduced if the temperature limits are underrun occasionally, but this will not damage the engine.

Hydraulic system

The hydraulic functions are sluggish and slower during cold temperatures. Bring the hydraulic system to operating tem- perature with some movements without a load.
