Not knowing the brand of equipment makes it hard to make a suggestion besides consult the operators manual. I see you mentioned your old machine is a Cat, so the below should apply.
Most of the gear does not require you to significantly change (ie stopping work) your work habits. However there are some things that will help to improve how the equipment functions. Again these will vary from brand to brand, most of my experience is with Cat equipment. Generally, you do not want to idle the equipment for extended periods, keep it hot. Perform proper shut downs as per the operators manual. Have a good supply of DEF available, keep it clean, it also goes bad - more quickly when it’s warm (do not use galvanized containers for DEF). Make sure DEF never gets in the fuel system (accidents happen - don’t start it if they do). DEF freezes as -11C. Also try and keep the DEF level from getting low enough to trigger the low level alarms. Good luck and enjoy the new machine.
