Running in the engine
The engine must be run in during its first 10
operating hours, as follows:
Run the engine in normal operations. However, full
load may not be applied other than for short periods.
Higher oil consumption is normal during the first 100–
200 hours of operation. For this reason, check the oil
level more frequently than the normal
recommendation.
When a disengageable clutch is installed, it should be
checked more carefully during the first days.
Adjustments may be necessary to compensate
bedding-in of the friction plates.
Fuel, oils and coolant
Only use the fuels and oils recommended in the
Operator's Manual, other viscosity and quality may
cause malfunctions, increased fuel consumption and
possibly shorten the life of the engine.
Always change the oil, oil filters and fuel filters at the
specified maintenance intervals.
Make sure to always use suitable and correctly mixed
coolant.
If an unsuitable coolant has been used, or if the
instructions for coolant mixture have not been
followed, future warranty claims related to engine and
accessories may be denied.
