3.After the engine starts, slowly push the choke to the full- open position. Pull it back, if necessary, to keep the engine running smoothly until the engine is at operating temperature

In colder weather, the engine will take longer to begin running smoothly with the choke open.

Do not operate the equipment until the choke is fully open.

STOPPING

To stop the engine turn the switch to the STOP position.

ENGINE BREAK-IN

For top engine performance, new or rebuilt engines require a break- in period to obtain the ideal fitting of internal moving metal parts. To break-in the engine:

1.Run the engine at 2500 rpm, without a load, for 10 minutes.

2.Run the engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 minutes.

3.Run the engine at 3,600 rpm for 10 minutes.

4.Run the engine with a load of 8HP at 3,600 rpm for 30 minutes.

5.Run the engine with a load of 16HP at 3,600 rpm for 30 minutes. Frequently check for oil leaks during break-in.

After the first 20 hours of normal operation, change the oil and oil filter. Refer to

Maintenance for procedures.

OPERATING IN DUSTY CONDITIONS

1.Keep the engine cooling fins and flywheel air inlet screen clean.

2.Perform air cleaner maintenance more often than normal-as required.

3.Change the engine oil and oil filter more often than normal.

HOT AND COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS

Hot Weather

Pay particular attention to the following items when operating the engine in temperatures above 100°F (38°C):

1.Keep the flywheel air inlet screen and cylinder cooling fins clean. Make sure that nothing obstructs air flow to and from the engine

2.Check the oil level more frequently.

3.Change the oil and oil filter more often than normal.

4.Make sure the engine oil viscosity is appropriate for the ambient temperatures and change the oil if necessary.

Cold Weather

Pay particular attention to the following items when operating the engine in temperatures blow freezing:

1.Make sure the engine oil viscosity is appropriate for the ambient temperatures and change the oil if necessary. If the temperature drops before you have the chance to change the oil, warn the engine by moving the equipment into a heated space before attempting to start the engine or change the oil.
