Avoid increasing the engine speed abruptly before warming-up run is completed.
1) Run the engine at idling for about 5 minutes to warm it up. Warming-up run allows the
lubricating oil to reach the vital parts of the engine and hydraulic system, while gradually
bringing up the engine oil and hydraulic oil to the working temperature.
2) After the warm-up operation, check that:
• Temperature gauge
.............................Pointer falls near the center zone.
• Fuel gauge
