New Machine Break-in Procedure
A new machine requires reduced operational speed
during the first 100 operating hours for proper break-in.
If the machine is subjected to hard use during the
break-in period, damage to the machine may occur.
Perform the following when operating a new machine:
•
Perform all steps in “Pre-Operation Checklist” on
page 3-16.
•
Start engine and let it idle for 10 - 15 minutes so all
components and systems can warm up.
•
Operate the machine at about 80% of maximum
loads and speed.
•
At the end of the first 100 operational hours, drain
and replace the engine oil and engine oil filter.
Travel
Travel Speed Selection
Two travel speed ranges can be selected by using the
travel speed switch (1) located on the control console.
See Figure 3-26. The machine uses an “Auto2Speed”
transmission on the drive motors. This feature enables
the transmission to automatically switch from high-
speed to low-speed when it senses a load.
Travel speeds are:
•
Slow-Speed Maximum = 1.7 mph (2.8 km/h)
•
High-Speed Maximum = 2.9 mph (4.7 km/h)

WARNING
•
Before operating the travel levers, be
sure that you know in which direction
the machine is pointing. If the dozer
blade is not visible from the operator’s
cab, you are looking at the rear of the
machine and the travel controls will be
the reverse of normal operation.
•
Before moving, be sure that there are no
personnel in the way of the machine.
Sound the horn to alert workers that you
are about to move the machine.
•
Be sure the path is clear during travel.
•
Use extreme caution when reversing
travel. Be sure there is a clear path
behind the machine.
•
Operate the travel control levers
smoothly to avoid sudden starts and
stops.
CAUTION
The slow-speed setting should be selected
to prevent automatic up-shifts if conditions
warrant.
