WARNING
Engine operation causes hazardous
noise levels that may cause hearing
loss. Wear ear protection while
operating or working near paving
machine.
Conveyor
movement
may
cause
injury or death. Ensure no personnel
are in hopper when starting engine.
CAUTION
Starter
motor
may
overheat
if
operated longer than 30 seconds. If
engine does not start, allow starter to
cool for two to three minutes before
trying again. If engine fails to start
after
three
attempts,
notify
Unit
Maintenance.
NOTE
Prior
to
operating
in
unusual
environment/weather
conditions,
refer to operation in unusual environ-
ment and weather, paragraph 2.27.
c.
Turn the ignition switch to the START position
and immediately release when the engine starts.
The switch will spring return to the ON position.
CAUTION
Incorrect oil pressure can cause
engine damage. If gauges do not
display proper readings, shut down
engine
and
correct
malfunction
before operation.
d.
Check engine oil pressure. If no engine oil
pressure develops, immediately shut down the
engine. Engine oil pressure gauge should read
10 to 15 psi (0,9 to 1,3 bar) minimum at low idle
and 30 to 100 psi (2,6 to 8,6 bar) maximum at
high idle.
CAUTION
Incorrect oil pressure or temperature
can cause engine damage. If gauges
do not display proper readings, shut
down
engine
and
correct
the
malfunction before operation.
Do not idle unnecessarily for long
periods of time. Idling the engine
unnecessarily for long periods of
time wastes fuel and fouls injector
nozzles.
Unburned
fuel
causes
carbon buildup, oil dilution, and
formation
of
lacquer
or
gummy
deposits on the valves, pistons, and
rings.
e.
After startup, observe engine gauges and
warning lights for proper readings.
Gauge
Reading (Low Idle)
RPM .................................................... 560 to 850
Oil Pressure .......................................10 to 15 psi
(0,9 to 1,3 bar)
Coolant Temperature ..................... 170° to 200°F
(77° to 93°C)
Hydraulic Oil Temperature ............. 100° to 200°F
(38° to 93°C)
Voltage............................................12 to 14 VDC
f. Run the engine at IDLE for five minutes before
paving operation begins. Do not race the engine
during the warmup period.
