After S tarting Engine
Note: In tempe
ratures from 0 to 6 0°C (32 to 140°F),
the warm-up time is approximately three minutes. In
temperatures below 0°C (32°F), additional warm-up
time may be re
quired.
When the engine idles during warm-up, observe the
following c
onditions:
•
Check for any fluid or for any air leaks at idle rpm
and at one-
half full rpm (no load on the engine)
before operating the engine under load. This is not
possible in some applications.
•
Operate the engine at low idle until all systems
achieve operating temperatures. Check all gauges
during th
e warm-up period.
Note: Gauge readings should be observed and
thedatas
hould be recorded frequently while the
engine is operating. Comparing the data over time
will help to determine normal readings for each
gauge. C
omparing data over time will also help
detect abnormal operating developments. Significant
changes in the readings should be investigated.
