SA221/324/424 Operation Manual
3. Using the implements while the engine is still cold
(or not fully warmed up), problems such as
seizure, breakage or premature wear can occur.
4. The engine oil is distributed through out the
engine during warming up.
5. The hydraulic oil also functions as the
transmission oil.
6. In cold weather, the cold oil has a higher
viscosity, making oil circulation sluggish.
• The hydraulic pressure does not smoothly rise
after engine start up.
• The preceding action can cause a problem with
the hydraulic system.
7. To prevent the preceding problem:
• Pre-warm the engine at about 50% of the rated
Revolutions Per Minute (rpm) for a period of time,
as specified in the table below:
