Warming Up; Warm-Up And Transmission Oil In The Low Temperature Range - Kioti DK35 Manual

IMPORTANT
Remove the key whenever you
leave the tractor. Then you are
certain the ignition and lights are
off. Also, it prevents unauthorized
operators from starting
tractor.
WARNING
After operating the tractor or en-
gine, never touch the muffler or
the heat shield until it has suffi-
cient time to cool.
CAUTION
To avoid the damage to the turbo
charger of this engine:
Do not accelerate quickly right
after engine start.
A minute of idling is recom-
mended before getting into the

WARMING UP

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
During warm up of the engine be
sure that the parking brake is set.
After starting your tractors engine allow
the
a five minute warm up before applying
any load to the tractor. This will allow
time for oil to reach every part of the
engine. If a load is applied to the tractor
before it has time to warm up then seri-
ous damage can occur like, premature
wear, breakage, or seizure.

WARM-UP AND TRANSMISSION OIL IN
THE LOW TEMPERATURE RANGE
Hydraulic oil serves as transmission
fluid. In cold weather, the oil may be cold
with increased viscosity. This can cause
delayed oil circulation or abnormally low
hydraulic pressure for some time after
engine start-up. This in turn can result in
trouble in the hydraulic system. To pre-
vent the above, observe the following
instructions:
Warm up the engine at about 50 % of
rated rpm according to the table below:
Ambient Warm-up time

IMPORTANT
