All machines are equipped with a heater. Only certain machines are equipped with an air conditioner. Those machines that are not equipped with an air conditioner also are not equipped with a compressor switch.

Redirect the louvers for air outlet (A) and (E) by hand to the desired direction. The louvers for air outlets (B), (C), and (D) cannot be redirected.
The climate control panel is located under the right window inside the cab:

| Automatic Control Switch (2) - In order to enter the full "AUT" mode for automatic climate control, push this switch. However, if you push the switch again, you cannot turn off the air conditioning. When the system is in full "AUT" mode, you can manually change specific functions by pushing another switch. If you manually change a specific function, "AUT" does not appear in the display, but the unchanged functions will remain in "AUT" mode. Even on a sunny day, a heat only climate control system can cool the cab in full "AUT" mode if the ambient temperature is no more than 20 °C (68 °F). |
The climate control unit provides excellent operator comfort in the full "AUT" setting. Press the "AUT" switch for full "AUT" mode. Push temperature switch (3) in order to set the desired temperature. The temperature is only shown in metric values. All other functions of climate control will be handled automatically.

In order to take advantage of the full "AUT" setting of the climate control system, always keep the sunlight sensor clean. Do not obstruct the sunlight sensor. If the climate control system is in the full "AUT" setting at engine start-up and the temperature inside the cab is too warm or too cool, the damper for fresh air ventilation may automatically close for a few minutes. This will help to bring the air temperature to the preset temperature more quickly.
| Temperature Switch (3) - These switches control the temperature of the air that is coming from the air outlets in order to achieve the temperature setpoint. When the system is in full "AUT" mode, you can select a temperature from 18 to 32 °C (64.4 to 89.6 °F). The preset temperature appears on display (4). If the climate control system is in the automatic mode, push these switches in order to change the preset temperature. Use the up key and the down key in order to adjust the temperature. |
| Fan Switch (5) - The fan switch directly controls the fan speed. If the climate control system is operating in the automatic mode, pushing this switch overrides the automatically selected fan speed. Use the up key and the down key in order to adjust the fan speed. |
In order to convert the temperature reading from Degrees Celsius to Degrees Fahrenheit, depress both of the fan speed keys at the same time for five seconds. The same action is used for converting the temperature reading from Degrees Fahrenheit to Degrees Celsius.
| Compressor Switch (6) - Push the switch in order to turn on the compressor or push the switch in order to turn off the compressor. In humid conditions, the compressor may be used to remove moisture from the air in the cab. In cool weather, operate the compressor weekly in order to prevent leakage of the refrigerant gas. This will also help to maintain the compressor in optimum working order. |
Consult with your AVSpare dealer for periodic maintenance of the heating and air conditioning system.
