Run-In - Case 845B VHP Operator's Manual

1. Operate the machine with a light load for the first 50
hours. Efficient engine operation is obtained with the
engine coolant temperature held in the GREEN area of
the gauge. Operating engine with coolant temperature
below this range will result in incomplete combustion of
fuel, higher fuel consumption with less power and will
cause harmful gummy deposits within the engine.
WARNING: Never lubricate, service or adjust
the machine with the engine running, except
as called for in the Operation and Maintenan-
ce Instruction Manual to prevent accidents.
2. Inspect entire unit after the first 10 hours of opera-
tion. Tighten all loose bolts and check all brake and
control adjustments. Check the hydraulic and electri-
cal systems.
After the first 50 hours of operation on a new unit or
after major repairs perform the following services:
a. Change transmission oil filter element.
WARNING: Fluid under pressure. Turn cap or
cover slowly to relieve pressure before remo-
ving it.
b. Change hydraulic oil filter element.
c. Check the ROPS mounting capscrews after the
first 50 hours of operation and periodically there-
after.
