WARMING UP
It is recommended always to warm
up the engine before driving in or-
der to maintain the durability of the
engine and prevent malfunction of
the engine. Before warming up the
engine, make sure that each part in
the engine is properly lubricated and
each hydraulic part is in a perfect
condition in order to prevent mal-
function in the engine as well as the
hydraulic system.
1. Start the engine and run it at a low
speed and without load for approx.
3 to 4 minutes.
2. In cold weather, increase the warm
-
ing up time to 10 minutes.
3. If it is very cold, warm up the en
-
gine for approx. 15 minutes.
4. The engine throttle can be open
for 50 % in order to shorten the
warming up time.
5. The engine is sufciently warmed
up when the temperature gauge on
the instrument panel indicates 1/4
of the normal temperature range,
regardless of the warming-up time.
6. Do not increase the work load rap
-
idly after starting work.
7. Run the engine without load for
approx. 2 to 3 minutes before stop-
ping the engine after work.
HOW TO WARM UP ENGINE
Be sure to apply parking brake
while warming up the engine.
If the warm-up procedure is
skipped, the tractor can take
off abruptly to cause a fatal ac-
cident.
