2.3.5 Engine Performance
To get the best performance and the longest life from your engine, you must
ensure that maintenance operations are done as indicated in Chapter 2. If
the engine works in a very dusty environment or other adverse conditions,
maintenance will have to be done more frequently. Replace lter elements
and lubricating oil regularly to remove corrosive materials and compounds.
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
specications.
Engine warranty can be a󰀨ected 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.
