Operator Alert and Warning System
If warning flasher remains on after starting, check engine oil pressure gauge or indicator. Stop engine if oil pressure gauge on 235 does not register or oil pressure light on 245 is flashing.
Be sure all indicators and warning horn are functioning properly before operating machine.Stop machine operation, lower equipment and stop engine immediately if warning horn sounds or warning flasher on panel is activated.If high coolant temperature causes a warning flasher to operate, and no coolant leaks are evident, operate the engine at high idle with reduced load to dissipate heat. If coolant is leaking, stop the engine immediately. Always check oil between shifts with engine running if the engine is not to be stopped. Maintain the level between ADD and FULL marks on the ENGINE RUNNING side of dipstick.Pre-Operation Warm-Up
Keep engine operating at low idle until normal operating temperature is reached.
245
1. Block air flow through the radiator to speed engine warm-up.235
1. Open left rear access door. 1a. Block radiator air flow.
To prevent overheating, remove blocking when normal operating temperature is reached.
2. To help speed warm-up of hydraulic oil, hold the bucket control lever in the CLOSE position for short periods, not more than 10 seconds, to fully close the bucket. This will heat the oil. The warm-up time depends on the ambient temperature. The colder it is the longer the warm-up period. If the hydraulic system is warmed by idling the engine a general rule is:In temperatures of 0°C (32°F) or above, warm-up requires 15 minutes.In temperatures of 0° to -18°C (32° to 0°F) warm-up requires 30 minutes.In temperaturas below -18°C (0°F), or if hydraulic functions remain sluggish, a longer warm-up period may be required.
