After Starting Engine

60 TM5-2430-200-10 Operation Section After Starting Engine After Starting Engine NOTICE Keep the engine speed low until the engine oil pressure indicator turns off and the pressure gauge indicates normal (between 250 and 450 kPa (30 and 70 psi)). If the indicator light does not go out within 15 seconds or if the engine oil pressure gauge indicates oil pressure of less than 50 kPa (10 psi), stop the engine and inform Unit Maintenance of the problem. Do not operate the machine until the cause of the problem has been corrected. Operating the machine when the engine oil pressure indicator is illuminated can result in engine damage. The engine oil pressure indicator illuminates when the engine oil pressure is 35 ± 21 kPa (5 ± 3 psi). 1. Gradually depress the accelerator pedal until tachometer (1) indicates that the engine speed is 1200 rpm. 2. When engine oil pressure gauge (2) indicates that the engine oil pressure is above approximately 250 kPa (30 psi), release the accelerator pedal. 3. Put the machine into EARTHMOVING mode. Refer to “Machine Operation, Earthmoving Mode” in this section. 4. Allow the engine to warm up at LOW IDLE for five minutes. During the warm-up period, use blade control lever (3) to RAISE and LOWER the blade, in order to help speed the warm up of the hydraulic components. 5. Observe the gauges and indicators frequently during operation.
