PROBLEM

Show/hide table

Improvements can be made to improve the cold starting/high altitude capability of certain 120H and 135H Motor Graders. The current production machines are not equipped with Ether Group. This attachment will include a new continuous flow ether system. The use of continuous flow ether will improve the performance of the machine while starting during cold weather/high altitude applications.
