TIRE PRESSURE CHART

6.MACHINE WARM-UP - Once the engine has started, run the engine at half throttle (1 100 to 1 300

RPM) for a minimum of 10 minutes under no load. This will help warm the hydraulic oil and the transmission oil.

After engine warm-up, enable the pilot controls by pushing down on the right hand side of the switch on the instrument control panel. Apply and hold the foot brake, and cycle all hydraulic functions several times. In severe cold weather conditions, the hydraulic functions may be slow to respond. Cycling all the hydraulic system functions several times will warm the hydraulic oil and the hydraulic system components.

The hydraulic steering can become slow in severe cold weather conditions. Cycle the steering from full right to left a minimum of 3 to 5 times before you drive the machine. NOTE: Make sure there is clearance around the machine before steering the machine from right to left.

In severe cold weather conditions the brakes response can be slow.

The use of correct oil in the hydraulic/brake system is required.

Even with the correct oil in the hydraulic/brake system the first few times the brakes are actuated there may be some delay before the brakes are applied. The operator must actuate the brake pedal a minimum of 8 to 10 times before the machine is moved. When the machine has been correctly warmed up, apply the foot brake and hold, shift the transmission to forward push the park brake to the Off position and release the foot brake. Operate the machine in a clear safe area.

Check the full operation of the machine. DO NOT operate the machine in third or fourth gear until the transmission oil and axle oil have been warmed up and the machine moves freely. IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate the machine on the road until the transmission oil and axle oil have been correctly warmed up. Operate the machine in a clear safe area before road operation. 7.If the machine has been left idling in cold temperature, the engine will stay warm. But the hydraulic/brake oil and the axle oil will not stay warm. The oil and components can become cold and slow brake function response time. If this should happen you MUST go through the complete machine warm-up procedure. 8.The transmission is equipped with internal protection that does not allow the transmission to engage below -12°C (10°F). If the transmission does not engage below these temperatures, allow 2 to 4 minutes of running in neutral (this time will vary with temperature), then try again.

OPERATING IN HOT WEATHER

To prevent damage to the machine, do the following: 1.Keep the coolant at the correct level in the radiator. 2.Use the correct solution of ethylene glycol and water in the cooling system. 3.Test the radiator cap before hot weather starts. Replace the cap as required. See your dealer. 4.Clean all dirt and debris from the cooling system and engine area. 5.Check the condition of the drive belts. 6.Use lubricants of the correct viscosity.
