It is recommended always to warm
up the engine before driving in order
to maintain the durability of the en-
gine and prevent malfunction of the
engine.
Warming up the engine can ensure
that each part in the engine is prop-
erly lubricated and each hydraulic
part is in a perfect condition in order
to prevent malfunction in the engine
as well as the hydraulic system.
HOW TO WARM UP ENGINE
1. Start the engine and run it at a low
speed and without load for approx.
3 to 4 minutes.
2. In cold weather, increase the
warming up time to 10 minutes.
3. If it is very cold, warm up the en-
gine for approx. 15 minutes.
4. The engine throttle can be open
for 50 % in order to shorten the
warming up time.
Warming up the engine exces-
sively increases fuel consump-
tion and affects the durability
of the vehicle negatively.
Never warm up the engine and
leave the vehicle for an extend-
ed period of time. It can cause
re and an accident.
WARNING
5. The engine is sufciently warmed
up when the temperature gauge
on the instrument panel indicates
1/4 of the normal temperature
range, regardless of the warming-
up time.
6. Do not increase the work load or
driving speed rapidly after starting
work.
7. Run the engine without load or idle
for approx. 2 to 3 minutes before
stopping the engine after work.
Avoid running the engine in an
enclosed area. Inhaling emis
-
sions can harm your health
.
If it is unavoidable to run the
engine in an enclosed area,
make sure to ventilate the area
properly and take proper ac
-
tions to avoid inhaling emis-
sions.
