1.3.2. Breaking in the machine
Every machine has been thoroughly tested and set up before
shipping. However, a new machine needs to be handled carefully
during the first 100 hours of service.
If the machine is worked excessively hard during the breaking-in
period, this will cause premature deterioration of performance
and shorten the machine's service life. A new machine needs to
be broken in and serviced carefully.
Particularly observe the following points:
 Let the engine run at idle for 5 minutes after starting.
 Avoid operation with heavy loads or at high engine speeds.
 Avoid sudden starts and stops, hard acceleration and sudden
steering movements, except in emergencies.
The precautions for operation and maintenance in this manual as
well as the safety information apply only as long as the product is
used according to the specified intended use. If the machine is
used for any purpose not listed in this manual, Komatsu cannot
accept any responsibility for safety. In such cases, any safety
considerations are the sole responsibility of the operator.
Never perform any type of work or use the machine in any way
that is expressly prohibited in this manual.
