TYM T293HST - OPERATING THE TRACTOR

minutes to ensure full lubrication and operating temperature.
Failure to do so can shorten engine life substantially

■ Warming up in Cold Weather
Cold weather will change the viscosity of the oil, resulting in a reduced oil pumping capacity, which
can cause damage to the engine if it is not warmed up correctly.
It also causes problems with the hydraulic system and the synchromesh in the transmission.
