STOPPING ENGINE
Before stopping, idle engine for 3 to 5 minutes to allow
turbocharger and manifold to cool and prevent possible distortion
of components.
To stop engine:
1. Move transmission control lever to the center neutral position.
2. Apply parking brake.
3. Rotate circle so moldboard is within the width of the tires.
Lower moldboard to the ground.
4. Pull throttle control lever back and allow engine to idle for 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Turn ignition key to OFF, 1.
ENGINE SPEED
SETTING ENGINE SPEED
Engine speed can be set using the throttle control lever, 1, located
on the right side console. Move lever rearward to decrease engine
speed. Move lever forward to increase engine speed.
The throttle control lever can be positioned as desired between
low idle (lever fully rearward) and high idle (lever fully front).
Typical operating speed will depend upon load and speed but is
normally above 1/2 throttle.
Do not allow engine to idle more than 10 minutes. Combustion
chamber temperatures may drop enough to prevent fuel from
burning completely. Carbon can develop, clogging injector spray
holes and piston rings and causing valves to stick.
VARYING ENGINE SPEED
After engine speed has been set by the throttle control lever,
engine speed can be increased using the accelerator control pedal,
1, on the right side of the floor. When the pedal is released, engine
speed returns to the original throttle control lever setting.
Increased pedal movement results in greater engine speed
variation.
When driving or operating the motor grader in traffic always set
the throttle control lever at low idle. Use the accelerator control
pedal to increase engine speed as needed.
