Starting/Stopping the Engine (continued)
Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure
COLD WEATHER STARTING PROCEDURE
1.
Install an engine heater.
2.
Be sure engine oil is correct type and viscosity for the
ambient temperature.
3.
Be sure battery is fully charged.
4.
Push the throttle lever (Figure 3-11) fully forward.
5.
Follow all steps under Normal Starting Procedure on
previous page.
6.
As the engine warms up and engine speed increases,
move the throttle lever to the idling position.
NEW MACHINE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
A new machine requires careful operation during the first 100
hours to properly break-in various parts. If the machine is
subjected to hard use during the break-in period, the perform-
ance and service life will be reduced.
Perform the following when operating a new machine:
•
After starting, let the engine idle for 5 minutes so all the
components can warm-up.
•
Avoid operation with heavy loads or at high speeds.
•
Avoid sudden starting and stopping or abrupt motions.
1.
Set the travel speed using the travel speed switch on the
console:
Slow Speed Maximum = 4 mph (6.4 km/h)
Fast Speed Maximum = 6 mph (9.6 km/h)
NOTE:
If the travel speed switch on the console
(Figure 3-12) is in the fast speed position, machine will
not turn right or left. It will only go straight forward or
rearward.
2.
Push or pull the travel levers w/foot pedals to move the
machine (Figure 3-12).
Push both levers forward to move forward.
Pull both levers rearward to travel in reverse.
NOTE:
If the superstructure has been rotated 180°
(dozer blade at the rear), travel levers will work in the
opposite manner. Pushing levers forward will cause the
machine to travel in reverse and pulling levers to the
rear will move the machine forward.
