RUNNING IN THE MACHINE
Before shipment, each machine was carefully checked and adjusted. A
machine which is to be run in for the first time has to be treated with
utmost care during its first 100 operating hours. If the machine is used
for work involving loads exceeding the specified maximum load valid for
the running-in period, its performance may be prematurely impaired and
its service life may be shortened. A new machine must be run in and
serviced very carefully and thoroughly. The following points are particularly
important:
• After the engine has been started, it must run in idle for 5 minutes.
• Operation with heavy loads or at high speeds is to be avoided.
• Sudden starts, sudden acceleration, jerky steering and stopping is to
be avoided; this does not apply to emergency situations.
Note that particular maintenance measures apply only to a machine during
its running-in period (see also chapter "Maintenance“).
