Breaking in a New Vehicle
Your Workman is ready for work. To provide proper
performance and long vehicle life, follow these guidelines for
the first 100 operating hours.
•
Check the fluid and engine oil levels regularly and be alert
for indications of overheating in any component of the
vehicle.
•
After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about 15
seconds before shifting into gear.
•
Avoid racing the engine.
•
To ensure optimum performance of the brake system,
burnish (break–in) the brakes before use. To burnish the
brakes, bring the vehicle up to full speed, apply the brakes
to rapidly stop the vehicle without locking up the tires.
Repeat this 10 times, waiting 1 minute between stops to
avoid overheating the brakes. This is most effective if the
vehicle is loaded with 454 kg (1000 lb).
•
Vary vehicle speeds during operation. Avoid excessive
idling. Avoid fast starts and quick stops.
•
A break–in oil for the engine is not required. The
original engine oil is the same type specified for regular
oil changes.
•
Refer to the Maintenance section for any special low hour
checks.
Checking the Interlock System
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The purpose of the interlock system is to prevent the engine
from cranking or starting unless the clutch pedal is pressed.
CAUTION
If safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly
causing personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily and replace any damaged switches before
operating the machine.
Note: Refer to Attachment Operator's Manual for procedures
on checking the attachment interlock system.
