Operating during the break-in period
Follow the recommendations below while operating the machine during the
break-in period:
• During the first hour of operation, vary the engine speed and the load on
the engine. Short periods of maximum engine speed and load are desir-
able. Avoid prolonged operation at minimum or maximum engine speeds
and loads for the next four to five hours.
• Make sure that the engine oil pressure and engine coolant temperature
lights do not illuminate.
• Check the engine oil and coolant levels frequently.
• Warm up the engine and hydraulic system by running the engine at
lower speeds and operating the machine at low loads.
• Do not run a cold engine up to high idle or change engine speeds sud-
denly. For further information, see Operating the Machine in Extreme
Weather Temperatures on page 42.
• Avoid sudden machine acceleration, braking, and changing of travel di-
rections.
• Avoid using the machine under heavy loads or at high speeds.
• Follow the machine maintenance schedule.
6.4 Operation Checklists
The checklists below are intended to assist you in checking and monitoring
the machine before, during, and after operation. Additional details are found
in this manual.
Start-up checklist
The following items should be checked daily before putting the machine into
operation:
• Check cooler cores for debris. Clean if necessary.
• Check the fluid levels for fuel, engine oil, hydraulic oil, and engine
coolant.
• Keep the machine clean. This reduces the risk of fire hazards, such as
combustible material around the engine, and reduces the risk of injury or
operational accidents that can be caused by dirt build-up on the operator
platform.
• Make sure the attachment is securely locked in place. For further infor-
mation, Testing the Attachment System.
• Ensure others are clear of the machine before starting the engine.
• Check the control interlock system for proper operation. The ground
drive system and the loader control system should not operate without:
– An operator standing on the platform
– The operator presence pedal engaged
• Check the parking brake for proper operation.
