STARTING ENGINE CONTINUED
CAUTION
Under no circumstances should the engine be allowed to idle for extended periods as this could
result in under lubrication; however, the engine should be operated gently for 3 to 5 minutes before
putting it under heavy load. Failure to follow this caution could result in damage to equipment.
NOTE
If any warning lights fail to go out or come on while the engine is running, stop the engine as soon
as it is safe to do so, and troubleshoot (WP 0008).
The electronic control system will cause the engine to run at an increased idle speed until the engine
is warm and will prevent the engine speed from rising until the oil pressure is at the correct level.
Stop the engine if the low oil pressure light does not go out after a few seconds. The engine will not
respond to the throttle until all sensors have achieved required levels.
END OF TASK
