3.
Clean the area around filler cap (A).
4.
Turn cap handle (B) counterclockwise until it is loose.
Remove the cap.
5.
Fill the tank with approved fuel. Refer to the inside back
cover of this manual for the recommended fuel.
IMPORTANT:
Do
NOT
fill the tank completely
—
space is required for
expansion. A filled tank could overflow if exposed to a rise
in temperature, such as direct sunlight.
6.
Replace fuel tank cap (A) and turn cap handle (B) clockwise
until it is snug.
Engine Temperature
The reported engine temperature tells the Operator how hot the coolant which circulates around the engine is. The
windrower
’
s engine is designed to work optimally at a specific coolant temperature, and so the coolant temperature
should be checked periodically during operation.

Figure 4.13: Operator Console
The normal engine operating temperature range is 82
–
104°C
(180
–
220°F). The engine temperature is indicated by gauge (B)
on the operator
’
s console.
If the reported engine coolant temperature exceeds 104°C
(220°F), the CDM will begin to emit a tone intermittently, and
the flashing message ENGINE TEMP will appear on the display.
Stop the engine
IMMEDIATELY
and determine the cause of the
overheating condition before attempting to operate the
windrower again. When the engine coolant temperature drops
below 102°C (215°F), the CDM will stop emitting the tone and
the ENGINE TEMP message will not appear on the display any
longer.
NOTE:
Before taking the ground speed lever (GSL) out of the PARK
position, let the hydraulic oil warm up to 32°C (90°F).
Engine Oil Pressure
Oil pressure is a critical parameter of engine operation, since the quality of lubrication directly determines the efficiency
and lifespan of the windrower
’
s engine. If oil pressure is too low or too high, the engine
’
s performance and longevity can
be adversely affected. Oil pressure warnings may trigger the lighting up of the symbols on the operator
’
s console and
messages on the cab display module (CDM).
The nominal engine oil pressure is 69 kPa (10 psi) at low idle and 380 kPa (55.1 psi) at maximum rated speed.
If the oil pressure drops below 52 kPa (7.5 psi), an error code and error message will appear on the CDM.
If the STOP ENGINE symbol lights up, stop the engine
IMMEDIATELY
and investigate.
IMPORTANT:
Attempting to operate the engine when the STOP ENGINE symbol is lit can result in permanent damage to the engine.
If the yellow CAUTION symbol lights up, the windrower can continue to be operated safely. However, it is
STRONGLY
recommended that the Operator continue to monitor the engine carefully.
