5. Engine operation
5.1. Starting engine
On machines with Yanmar engine, it can happen that at outside temperatures
around 0°C the engine oil pressure warning goes on. This goes out as soon as
the oil reaches operating temperature.
1. Switch on main battery switch (Fig. 5.1), on the left of the
engine.
2. Switch off threshing system and grain tank discharge pipe.
3. Pull emergency stop button.
4. Set engine idle speed.
5. Turn ignition starter switch until the pre-heating warning light
illuminates.
6. After the pre-heating warning light has extinguished, contin-
ue turning to the stop.
7. After the engine has started, leave to run at idle until all oil
warning lights have extinguished.
5.2. Running-in period
The diesel engine has a running-in period of approx. 50 operating hours. During this period
it must be treated gently. The running-in period has a significant influence on the subsequent
service life of the engine.
During the running-in period proceed as follows:
• Leave the cold engine to warm up at approx. 1200 revs/min after starting.
• Avoid unnecessary idling.
• Increase the load slowly.
• Avoid high loads and full load.
During the first 30 operatin houres the engine has an increased oil consumption.
Top-up oil in good time!
5.3. Shutting down engine
1. Set engine to idle.
2. Shut down threshing system and grain tank discharge pipe.
3. Turn ignition switch until the combine is off.
4. Switch off main battery switch
Prior to starting the engine it is to be ensured that the joystick is in the neutral
position and all safety guards are attached and are in the protective position.
Do not operate engine in closed spaces. Toxic hazard!

finely in this gear and the power transmission is higher.
Gear 2 (hare) approx. 0-20 km/h
This gear is intended to be used for driving on roads.
6.3. Shutting down the combine
