S205 Skid-Steer Loader
33 Operation & Maintenance Manual
STARTING THE ENGINE (CONT’D)
Warming The Hydraulic / Hydrostatic System
IMPORTANT
When the temperature is below -30°C (-20°F),
hydrostatic oil must be warmed before starting. The
hydrostatic system will not get enough oil at low
temperatures and will be damaged. Park the machine
in an area where the temperature will be above -18°C
(0°F) if possible.
I-2007-1285
Let the engine run for a minimum of 5 minutes to warm
the engine and hydrostatic transmission fluid before
operating the loader.
