To prevent damage to the engine,
do not drive at full power just after
starting. Drive with restraint until the
machine reaches operating tem-
perature.
After switching on the ignition, the speed is al-
ways set to the lower idle speed (0%). This
means that the diesel engine can only be started
in lower idle mode!
When starting at temperatures below -18°C, we
recommend equipping the machine with a
DEUTZ cold start auxiliary device.
