CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2 OPERATION
AUGUST 31, 2008
Ensure that adjustments and repairs are done by persons who have had the
correct training.
The left and right sides of the engine are as when seated in the operator’s
seat.
Read the “Safety Precautions” in section 1 of this chapter.
BREAK-IN
Gradual new-engine break-in is not recommended because prolonged
operation at light loads during the early life of the engine can cause excessive
carbon build-up.
As soon as the engine is put into service and coolant temperature has
reached at least 140F, you can apply maximum load to the engine.
Do not operate the engine at high speeds without a load and do not overload
the engine.
ADJUSTING ENGINE SPEED
Do not change the idle or maximum speed settings because this can
damage the engine or transmission. Adjust speed only to the manufacturer’s
specications. Engine warranty can be aected if the seals on the fuel
injection pump (diesel) are broken during the warranty period by a person not
approved by Northwestern Motor Co.
ALTITUDE (diesel)
If the engine is to run at an altitude above 2,000 ft., fuel delivery can be
adjusted to reduce fuel consumption and smoke. NMC-Wollard, Inc. can
advise as to fuel reduction necessary if details of engine application and
ambient conditions are given. Changes to settings of the fuel injection pump
must be made by authorized personnel.
