Engine and Machine Warm-Up

SMCS - 1000; 7000

After the engine has been started, allow the monitoring system to complete the self test.

1. Allow a cold engine to warm up at LOW IDLE for at least five minutes. To help the hydraulic
components to warm up faster, engage the attachment controls and disengage the attachment
controls.

2. You can begin to operate the machine with a reduced load.

3. When the engine coolant temperature reaches the normal operating range and no faults are
present, you may operate the machine at full load.

4. Look at the indicators and the gauges frequently during operation. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "Monitoring System".

5. Check oil levels in the power train, the engine, and the hydraulic systems when the oil is at
operating temperature. Maintain the oil levels to the FULL marks.

The hydraulic oil will warm up faster, if the dozer blade control is held in the CLOSE position for
short periods of ten seconds or less. This will allow the hydraulic oil to reach relief pressure, which
causes the hydraulic oil to warm up more rapidly.

Cycle all controls in order to allow warm hydraulic oil to circulate through all hydraulic cylinders and
through all hydraulic lines.

Idling
When you idle the engine in order to warm up the engine, observe the following recommendations:

Allow the engine to warm up for approximately 15 minutes when the temperature is higher than
0C (32F).

Allow the engine to warm up for approximately 30 minutes or more when the temperature is
below 0C (32F).

More time may be required if the temperature is less than -18C (0F). More time may also be
required if the hydraulic functions are sluggish.
