In ambient temperatures from 0 to 60°C (32 to 140°F), the warm-up time is approximately 3 minutes. In temperatures below 0°C (32°F), additional warm-up time may be required.When the engine is in operation, observe the following conditions:Do not check the high pressure fuel lines with the engine or the starting motor in operation. If you inspect the engine in operation, always use the proper inspection procedure in order to avoid a fluid penetration hazard. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "General hazard Information".
Check for any fluid leaks at idle rpm and at one-half full rpm (no load on the engine) before operating the engine under load. Check for any air leaks at idle rpm and at one-half full rpm (no load on the engine) before operating the engine under load. This is not possible in some applications.Note: Gauge readings should be observed and the data should be recorded frequently while the engine is operating. Comparing the data over time will help to determine normal readings for each gauge. Comparing data over time will also help detect abnormal operating developments. Significant changes in the readings should be investigated.
