After Engine Starts
1.
Check engine oil pressure lamp (A) as soon as engine starts. If warning lamp is on, stop the engine and determine the cause.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid engine speeds of less than 1200 rpm. Prolonged operation at low rpm may cause the engine coolant temperature to fall below the normal operating temperature. This will cause an accumulation of engine sludge and unburned fuel in the exhaust system.
2.
Increase engine speed to 1500-1600 rpm.
3.
Check hydrostatic pressure lamp (B) and alternator lamp (C). If warning lamps are on, stop the engine and determine the cause.
4.
Leave engine speed at mid-range, allowing the engine to warm up.
5.
Check all warning lamps with engine running. If any lamp is on or if the audible alarm is on, stop the engine and determine the cause.
