BREAK-IN
2-1
OBSERVE MACHINE CLOSELY
IMPORTANT: • Be extra cautious during the first 50
hours, until you become thoroughly
familiar with the sound and feel of
your new machine.
• Do not attempt to travel the machine
at full speed before the break-in pe-
riod is over, as the lower rollers and
front idlers may seize. For the first
200 hours of operation, operate the
machine with the travel speed switch
set to the slow speed mode.
• When moving the machine to the
jobsite after completion of local re-
assembly, be sure to operate the
machine with the travel speed switch
set to the slow speed mode.
Check lower rollers and front idlers
every 10 minutes for excessively high
temperature.
• Perform correct break-in procedures
for the front-attachment pins.
1. Operate the engine horsepower up to about 80 % of
full load.
2. Avoid excessive engine idling.
3. Check indicator lights and gauges frequently during
operation.

nance interval guide -- 10 hours.)
