Engine Operation
WARNING
Never start the engine indoors unless proper exhaust ventilation
is provided to remove deadly exhaust gases. Once the engine is
running, move the machine outdoors as soon as possible.
Exhaust gases are hazardous and can cause unconsciousness
and death.
NOTICE: Do not place the engine under FULL LOAD at FULL
SPEED IMMEDIATELY after starting. ALWAYS allow the engine to
fully circulate lubricant and warm up gradually before operating at full
speed and full load. Operate the engine at top rated speed when
maximum power is needed for the load. NEVER idle the engine for
more than 5 minutes at a time; shut it off. If any gauge operates out of
its normal operating range, or a warning light illuminates, shut the
engine down immediately and report to service or maintenance per-
sonnel.
NOTICE: Operating the engine beyond high idle speed can cause
severe engine damage. The engine speed must not exceed
2300 rev/min. under any circumstances. When descending a steep
grade, use a combination of transmission gears, retarder, engine
brake and service brakes to control the machine and engine speed.
