RUN-IN

1. Operate the machine with a light load for the first 50 hours. Efficient engine operation is obtained with the engine coolant temperature held in the GREEN area of the gauge. Operating engine with coolant temperature below this range will result in incomplete combustion of fuel, higher fuel consumption with less power and will cause harmful gummy deposits within the engine.

WARNING: Never lubricate, service or adjust the machine with the engine running, except as called for in the Operation and Maintenance Instruction Manual to prevent accidents. WARNING: The protection offered by the ROPS structure may be impaired if it has been subjected to any modification or damage.

The tightening torque of the 20 mounting capscrews is 587 Nm (60 kgf.m; 435 lb.ft.). If cab enclosures are installed, be sure all cab accessories, such as windshields wipers, latches, glass, hinges, seat belts, etc. are in good condition. Always keep windows clean

2. Inspect entire unit after the first 10 hours of operation. Tighten all loose bolts and check all brake and control adjustments. Check the hydraulic and electrical systems. After the first 50 hours of operation on a new unit or after major repairs perform the following services: a. Change transmission oil filter element.

WARNING: Fluid under pressure. Turn cap or cover slowly to relieve pressure before removing it.

b. c. Change hydraulic oil filter element. Check the ROPS mounting capscrews after the first 50 hours of operation and periodically thereafter. WARNING: If replacement of glass is necessary, be sure to use safety glass or equivalent.

d. e. Check tandem wheel nuts. Check wheel lock nuts.
