10.1 ENGINE _________________________________________________________________
IMPORTANT: A separate Engine Manual, prepared by
the engine manufacturer, is supplied with the power
module
. Read the engine manual carefully until you are
familiar with the operation and maintenance of the
engine. Proper attention to the engine manufacturer’s
directions will assure maximum service life of the
engine. To order replacement engine manuals contact
the engine manufacturer.
The proper break-in of a new engine can make a
considerable difference to the performance and life of the
engine.
During the break-in period, Jacobsen recommends the
following:
1. Operate machine modestly for the first 25 hours.
2. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature before
operating at full load.
3. Change the engine oil after the first 20 hours of
operation.
4. Refer to Section 13.2 and Engine Manual for
specific maintenance intervals.
10.2 ENGINE OIL ______________________________________________________________
Check the engine oil at the start of each day, before starting
the engine. If the oil level is low, remove oil filler cap and add
oil as required.
Perform initial oil change after the first 20 hours of operation.
Change oil every 100 hours thereafter.
See the engine manufacturer’s Owners’s Manual for
detailed service information.
After adding or changing oil, start and run engine at idle with
all drives disengaged for 30 seconds. Shut engine off. Wait
30 seconds and check oil level. Add oil to bring up to FULL
mark on dipstick.
Use only SAE 10W30 engine oils with API classification
SG.SF/CC.CD
