Section III. OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
2-8. OPERATION IN EXTREME COLD.
a.
Engine and Air Compressor. Refer to current lubrication order for
cold weather lubrication instructions.
Dynamotor-welder. When the dynamotor-welder is driven by the
b.
shop set engine during extremely cold operating conditions, allow a
warming-up period to allow the engine to reach normal operating
temperature range before operating the dynamotor-welder.
Wiring Do not attempt to service or move the wiring during extreme-
c.
ly cold temperatures. Bending a wire under these conditions will
cause cracks and breaks in the insulation and the wiring itself,
since cold temperatures make wiring brittle.
d.
Cooling System. Make sure the coolant is treated for the lowest
possible ambient temperatures to be encountered. Refer to TB 750-651.
Clean and flush the cooling system before adding the initial anti-
freeze mixture. Make sure the thermostats are in proper working
order.
