Putting into operation 4
Running-in period
The vehicle is equipped with an automatic thermal overload protection for
motor oil and for driving and work hydraulics oil. The thermal overload
protection prevents the vehicle being put into operation in a cold state with
a high speed of the diesel engine.
- At temperatures below −10°C (14°F), the maximum diesel engine
speed is automatically limited to 1500 rpm.
- At temperatures between −10°C (14°F) and 10°C (50°F), the diesel
engine idling speed is slightly increased until it reaches 10°C (50°F).
- At temperatures over 10 °C (50 °F), the diesel engine can run without
any restriction.
Handle the machine carefully during its first 100 operating hours.
• Do not put a cold diesel engine under load.
• Avoid loading the diesel engine at idling speed.
• Do not run the diesel engine at high speed for extended periods.
• Increase the load gradually while varying the diesel engine speed.
• Full travel speed (machine dynamics) is reached as soon as the
temperature of the drive reaches 20 – 30°C (68 – 86°F).
• Strictly observe maintenance schedules and perform (or have
performed) the specified maintenance
– see chapter 7 “Maintenance overview” on page 7-3.
If the oil temperature of the drive hydraulics is over 105°C (221 °F), the
travel speed (travel dynamics) is automatically reduced by 50% until the
oil temperature is below 105°C (221 °F) in order to avoid damage to the
drive hydraulics.
► Have the cause for the high oil temperature checked or repaired by an
authorized service centre under all circumsances.
Check lists
These checklists are not intended to be exhaustive. They are only
intended to help you to fulfill your obligation to exercise due care.
The checking and monitoring work listed below is described in greater
detail in the following chapters of the Operator’s Manual.
If questions are answered with NO, first rectify the cause of the
malfunction before starting or continuing work.
