3.4 Engine
3.4.1 Running-in
T000953
– Experience has shown that the first 50 hours of tractor operation have a significant effect on the perfor-
mance and life of the engine.
– From the first operation, the tractor must run with the engine at full load. The engine should be allowed
to reach a temperature of 60 °C before being subjected to full load.
– It is quite normal for oil consumption to be relatively high during the running-in period. Therefore, during
running-in, the engine oil level must be checked twice a day during the first 50 hours of operation to avoid
the risk of lubrication failure.
– During running-in, check the tightness of all nuts, bolts and screws frequently. The wheel nuts must be
retightened daily until their torque has stabilised (see chapter 5).
