Warm-up and Break-in Procedures
Each time
the engine
is
started
it
should be allowed to reach normal operating temperature before
bei119
used.
When the
unit is
new,
full speed or
laborious
operation in
wet
snow should
be
avoided. After
10
t10L1rs
of
oper ation,
break-in is usually
complete, and the unit
will
run both better
and
cooler.
At the end of the
10
hour
break-in period,
it
would be advisable to throughly
check nuts, bo lts, and screws for
tightness.
Loose hardware
can cause excessive vibration and lead to damage
of
the
engine or chassis.
