Cold Weather Operation
If the engine is in good mechanical condition and the necessary
preparations are taken for cold weather operation, ordinary cold
weather will not cause difficulty in starting or loss of efficiency.
Cold weather operation does require changes in operating practices,
maintenance procedures, lubrication and fuel. Additions to the vehicle,
such as heated fuel filters, fuel tank heater, engine block heater,
winterfront, etc., can make winter operation easier. Contact your
authorized Volvo Truck dealer for the correct accessories and
information about installation.
If satisfactory engine temperature is not maintained, increased engine
wear will result in higher maintenance cost. Accessories should be
designed to be easily disconnected when switching to driving in
warmer weather so they do not affect the operation of the engine.
