Engine Warm-up in Cold Weather

Cold weather changes the viscosity of the oil, resulting in a reduction in the performance of the engine oil
pump, which can cause engine damage if oil is not heated properly.
At the same time, there may be problems with the hydraulic system and synchronization in the transmission.

Warming Up Time

Temperature Time for warming up
Above 50 °F
5~10 min.
50 °F~32 °F
10~20 min.
32 °F~14 °F
20~30 min.
14 °F~-4 °F
30~40 min.
Below -4 °F
Over 40 min.
Make sure the parking brake is applied during warm-up.
Insufficient warm-up may cause problems or shorten the life of relevant components.
Never idle the engine in a poorly ventilated area. This can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Engine Running-in Time

For the initial 50 hours of operation,follow the instructions below.
1. Avoid stopping the engine suddenly.
2. Do not run the engine at high speed or with excessive load.
3. Only drive the tractor when the engine is warmed up to operating temperature.
4. Do not idle the engine at maximum speed.
5. Check all components and replace the prescribed operating fillings after 50 hours of operation, see section
Maintenance.

Driving the Tractor Off
