The proper oil viscosity grade is determined by the
minimum outside temperature when the machine
is started. T
he proper oil viscosity grade is also
determined by the maximum outside temperature
while the machine is operated. Use the column that
has the titl
e of “Min” on the table to determine the
oil viscosity grade that is required for starting a cold
machine. Use the column that has the title of “Max”
on the table
to determine the oil viscosity grade for
operating the machine at the highest temperature
that is anticipated. Use the oil with the highest
viscosit y
that is allowed for the ambient temperature
when you start the machine.
