Engine Speed
Setting Engine Speed
Engine speed is set using the Throttle Control Lever
(1)
located on the right side console. Move lever rearward to
decrease engine speed or forward to increase engine
speed.
The Throttle Control Lever can be positioned as desired
between low idle and high idle. Typical operating speed
will depend upon load and speed but is normally above
1/2 throttle.
NOTICE:
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 throttle control lever setting.
Increased pedal movement results in increased engine
speed.
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.
