During this warm-up period, check the warning lights
and gages:
.
If oil pressure does not begin to rise within
15 seconds of starting, stop the engine and find the
cause. See
Oil Pressure Gage on page 3
‑
33
for
more information.
.
If the engine coolant temperature gage needle
goes into the hot area on the gage, stop the engine
and find the cause of the overheating. See
Engine
Coolant Temperature Gage on page 3
‑
29
for more
information.
.
If you have air brakes, the dual-needle air pressure
gage should read at least 115 psi (790 kPa) for
both service systems before you try to move the
vehicle. When air pressure is below 60 psi
(420 kPa), the LOW AIR light will come on and you
will hear a tone alarm. See
Brake System Warning
Light on page 3
‑
25
for more information. If the
pressure does not build up or drops during
warm-up, stop the engine and find the cause
before you try to move the vehicle. Recommended
air pressure before driving is 120 psi (830 kPa).

Air Pressure Gage on page 3

.
The charging system light should come on when
the ignition key is turned to ON/RUN or START and
should go out when the engine is running above
idle. If the light does not go out or comes back on
during normal engine operation, have the charging
system checked right away. (This light tells you if
the generator is not charging; it does not reflect the
condition of the battery.) See
Charging System
Light on page 3
‑

for more information.
.
The voltmeter charge indicator gage tells you the
condition of the battery's charge. The gage should
be in the center area during engine operation. The
red area on the left indicates an undercharge
condition; the red area on the right indicates an
overcharge. If the gage is in either red area, have
the battery and charging system checked right
away. See
Voltmeter Gage on page 3

for more
information.
Notice:
Do not allow the engine to operate at low
idle for more than five minutes. This can cause low
engine operating temperatures which can affect
engine operation and reduce engine life. Engine idle
speed should be increased to 1200 rpm whenever
extended idle is required. Once started, the engine
should be placed under load to allow the engine
coolant temperature to reach 150°F (66°C) before
shutting off the engine.
