SECTION 3 MACHINE TRANSPORT AND STORAGE Page 10 MACHINE STORAGE NOTE: Be sure to oil or grease all linkage connections, joints, nuts, pins, shafts, and bushings not covered In the "SERVICE GUIDE". 10. Drain the engine oil from the crankcase and replace the engine lubricating oil filter. Refer to “ENGINE”, Section 5. 11. Install fully charged batteries. Refer to “ELECTRICAL SYSTEM”, Section 5. IMPORTANT: Check that the batteries are level in the holder and securely held. The hold-down fasteners should hold the batteries firmly but not tight enough to warp or damage either the hold- down bar or batteries. WARNING! Ends of the wires should be so arranged that access to the plugs is ensured.
Lay the cables so that the wires should not rub hold-down bars or its fasteners. Always connect the negative ground cable last to minimize the chance of sparks or explosion. 12. Prime the turbocharger by placing the engine speed control lever in the engine SHUT-DOWN position and cranking the engine for approximately 30 seconds. Continue to crank the engine periodically for 30-second until an oil pressure reading is indicated on the engine oil pressure gauge or the engine oil pressure warning light goes out. This should provide an adequate amount of oil to lubricate the turbocharger. IMPORTANT:
Crank the engine for a period of 30 seconds then allow the cranking motor to cool for two or three minutes before cranking again to avoid damaging the cranking motor. WARNING! Never start an engine indoors unless proper exhaust ventilation is provided. Once the engine is running, move the machine outdoors as soon as possible. 13. Start the engine, refer to “STARTING THE ENGINE”, Section 4. Observe all the gauges on the instrument panel for proper operation of engine. TD-15H DRESSTA
