Breaking in the Engine

The engine is ready for normal operation. However, be extra cautious during the first 100 operating hours.

Observe the following points:

Watch engine oil pressure (A) and coolant temperature (B) closely. If needle goes into the orange zone, reduce engine load immediately. Unless needle quickly drops, stop the engine and determine the cause.

CAUTION: Never remove radiator filler cap when engine is hot. Stop engine and wait until engine has cooled down.

Turn filler cap to first stop to relieve pressure before removing cap completely (see "Service - Engine" section).

Check engine oil level periodically, watching for any signs of leaks (see "Service - Engine" section).

Until you become thoroughly familiar with the sound and feel of your new forage harvester, stay extra attentive and alert.

During the first 20 operating hours, avoid high engine loads and do not idle the engine for more than 5 minutes.
