4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Run in period of a new machine
Your machine will last longer, give better and more economical performance, if you pay particular attention to the
engine during the initial run-in period.
During this period:
• Warm up the engine before using it under load.
• Do not operate the engine at maximum power for prolonged periods of time.
• Do not work the engine hard at stall speeds (tracks stopped and the engine running at full throttle).
• Do not run the engine for a long period at idle speed.
• Frequently check the instruments on the instrument panel.
• Check the oil levels and coolant level frequently.
• During the run-in period, certain checks and servicing operations should be carried out in addition to those specified
in the service schedule.
NOTICE: For turbocharged engines, only shut the engine down from the low idle position to prevent damage to the
turbocharger.
