RUN-IN PROCEDURE
If the run-in instructions for a new engine are not followed, you can cause damage to piston rings and cylinder
sleeves.
Engine Warm Up
Before operating in the field, warm up the engine by
running the engine for 10 to 15 minutes at 1/2
throttle.
IMPORTANT: It is important that enough lubricant
reaches the turbocharger bearings before operating
the engine at rated speed.
Load
During the first eight (8) hours of operating in the
field, operate in one gear lower than normal. During
the next twelve (12) operating hours, do not “lug” the
engine. A new engine must not be “lugged” below
2325 RPM.
No Load
When operating the engine without a load, you can
keep the correct engine operating temperature if you
run the engine at approximately 1600 RPM.
Engine Oil
New Combines have SAE 15W-40 oil in the engine.
This oil can be used in temperatures below 43° C
(110° F). Add makeup oil following the
recommendations in the LUBRICATION/FILTERS/
FLUIDS section in this manual. DO NOT add
kerosene for cold weather starting. If temperatures
are not in the specified range, drain the oil and
replace the oil with the correct viscosity.
