Oil pressure should rise within 15 seconds after the engine starts. If oil pressure is not indicate on the gauge within 15 seconds, DO NOT operate the engine. STOP the engine, investigate and correct the cause. |
- Allow a cold engine to warm up at LOW IDLE for at least five minutes.
- Look at the gauges and the indicator lights frequently during operation.
If the alternator indicator lamp remains illuminated after going to high idle, inspect the machine for the cause of the trouble. If the gauges do not respond properly, inspect the machine for the trouble. Before you move the machine, repair all problems.
- Cycle all controls in order to allow warm oil to circulate through all of the lines and the cylinders.
Observe the following recommendations during the warm-up period for the engine:
- In temperatures above
0°C (32°F) , the warm-up period is 15 minutes. - In temperatures below
0°C (32°F) , the warm-up period is 30 minutes or a longer period of time. - In temperatures below
−18°C (0°F) , more time is required if the hydraulic controls are sluggish.
