After Starting Engine
NOTICE
Keep the engine speed low until the engine oil
pressure indicator turns off and the pressure gauge
indicates normal (between 250 and 450 kPa (30 and 70
psi)). If the indicator light does not go out within 15 seconds
or if the engine oil pressure gauge indicates oil pressure of
less than 50 kPa (10 psi), stop the engine and inform Unit
Maintenance of the problem. Do not operate the machine
until the cause of the problem has been corrected.
Operating the machine when the engine oil pressure
indicator is illuminated can result in engine damage. The
engine oil pressure indicator illuminates when the engine oil
pressure is 35 ± 21 kPa (5 ± 3 psi).
1. Gradually depress the accelerator pedal until
tachometer (1) indicates that the engine speed is
1200 rpm.
2. When engine oil pressure gauge (2) indicates that
the engine oil pressure is above approximately
250 kPa (30 psi), release the accelerator pedal.
3. Put the machine into EARTHMOVING mode. Refer to
“Machine Operation, Earthmoving Mode” in this
section.
4. Allow the engine to warm up at LOW IDLE for five
minutes. During the warm-up period, use blade control
lever (3) to RAISE and LOWER the blade, in order to
help speed the warm up of the hydraulic
components.
5. Observe the gauges and indicators frequently
during operation.
