Section D – Operations
ENGINE BREAK-IN
Your new Engine does not require extensive break-in. However, for the first 100 hours of operation,
keep the following in mind:
1.
Allow the Engine to idle for a few minutes after every cold start.
2.
Do NOT idle Engine for long periods of time.
3.
Do NOT operate the Engine at maximum power for long periods of time.
4.
Check the oil level frequently and replenish as necessary.
A special “break-in” oil is not used. The oil in the Engine crankcase is the same as is specified for
regular oil changes. Change the oil and replace the oil filter at the intervals specified in Engine Oil
and Filter in Section H - Service, of this manual. Do NOT add special additives or special “break-
in” components to the crankcase.
STARTUP
Before mounting the operator’s station, walk completely around the machine to make sure no one
is under, on or near the machine. Let others near the area know you are going to start up and wait
until everyone is clear of the machine. Then proceed as follows:
CAUTION
Before starting the Engine and operating the machine, review and comply with ALL recommendations
set forth in the Section A - Safety, of this manual. Know how to STOP the machine before starting it!
1.
Make sure the floor of the operator’s station and the foot controls are free of debris and mud.
Adjust the seat and fasten the seat belt securely.
CAUTION
Exhaust fumes can kill. Insure proper ventilation when starting indoors or in enclosed areas. Use
proper grab handles, not the Steering Wheel or Levers, as a hand hold when mounting or
dismounting. Start and operate the machine only from the Operator’s Seat, and ONLY with the Seat
Belt securely fastened.
1.
Place all controls in neutral. Make sure the Park Brake is ON. Turn the Key Switch to
RUN and make sure that Indicator Lamps and Gauges are ON.
NOTE
Do not crank the starter for more than 30 seconds at a time or Starter Motor damage could result. If prevailing
temperature is 40°F (4°C) or below, it may be necessary to use a cold weather starting aid to start the diesel
Engine. For proper use of starting aids, check instructions in the OEM engine manual.
2.
Depress the Glow Plug Button (if provided) for 30 seconds. Continue to depress button while
turning Key Switch to RUN position. Then depress the Starter Button until the Engine starts.
NOTE
If the engine fails to start on the first try or it dies out after only running a short time, turn the Key Switch to
OFF, wait at least two minutes and repeat above steps.
