Warming the Engine

N74870-UN-19JAN07

A - Coolant Temperature

Do not place engine under full load until it is properly warmed. View the engine coolant temperature (A) on Sprayer Main Page if that feature has been selected on one of the dropdown menus available on that page.

IMPORTANT: To provide proper lubrication after engine starts, operate engine at approximately 900 rpm, with no load for 1 to 2 minutes. At temperatures below freezing point, this period must be extended to 2 to 4 minutes.

At temperatures below freezing, as engine and hydraulic fluid are warming, turn steering wheel back and forth to circulate warm hydraulic fluid until front wheels can be turned freely from lock-to-lock positions.
