OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IDLING THE ENGINE
Do not idle for extended periods of time. Excessive idle time can cause
poor engine performance and waste fuel.
Internal combustion engines
must not
operate at low idle speed for
extended periods of time. This operating condition may lead to poor
engine performance.
Stationary Power Take Off Operation
The cruise control buttons for this vehicle may be used to control the
engine rpm when the vehicle is stationary and the operator wants to use
the Power Take Off (PTO) on the engine. Use the cruise control options
in the same manner as with the vehicle in motion, but instead of setting
vehicle speed, the engine speed (rpm) is set instead.
1. Ensure parking brakes are applied.
2. Ensure transmission is in Neutral.
3. Engage PTO per the manufacturer's operating instructions.
4. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
5. Toggle the SET/RESUME switch to obtain the desired engine rpm.
Cancel the PTO operation by canceling the engine rpm set speed. This
can be done by tapping the brake or clutch pedal or by using the cruise
control switches.
After starting the engine, idle the engine for 3 to 5 minutes before operating
with a load.
After starting a cold engine, increase the engine speed (rpm) slowly to
provide adequate lubrication to the bearings and to allow the oil pressure
to stabilise.
Do not operate engine at low idle for long periods with engine coolant
temperature below the minimum specification in Coolant Recommendations
and Specifications.
Low coolant temperature can result in:
• fuel dilution of the lubricating oil
• carbon build-up in the cylinder
• cylinder head valve sticking
• reduced performance
