1.9 - RUNNING-IN AND TESTING THE MACHINE
Each machine is carefully adjusted and tested before delivery.
A new machine must however be used with caution for the first 100 hours for the purpose of the efficient
running-in of the various components.
If the machine is subjected to an excessive work load during the initial phase of operation, its potential
performance will be prematurely compromised, and its functionality reduced in a short period of time.
During the running-in period, pay close attention to the following points:
• After start-up, let the engine run at a low speed for 5-6 minutes;
• Avoid running the machine at the maximum speed for the first 100 hours of operation. Avoid sudden
accelerations or decelerations.
Refer to the service booklet attached for the various types of maintenance to be carried out. Also refer to
the engine manual and to the equipment manual for any type of work that has to be carried out.
When replacing oil and diesel filters, inspect them internally to check if there are any
deposits. If there are, check for possible causes before restarting the machine.
