OPERATION

1. Stop windrower and remove key.

2. Stand on either platform to access the fuel tank

filler pipe.

3. Clean the area around filler cap (A).

Lubricants, Fluids,

and System Capacities, page 285

.

Engine Temperature

The normal engine operating temperature range is
180–225°F (82–107°C). Engine temperature is indicated
by gauge (B) on the operator’s console.

If the temperature exceeds 230°F (110°C), an ongoing
intermittent tone will be heard and the cab display module
(CDM) will flash “ENGINE TEMP”.

Stop the engine

immediately

and determine cause. The tone will stop and

the CDM will return to normal when the temperature drops
below 225°F (107°C).

Figure 4.13: Operator Console

Engine Oil Pressure

The nominal engine oil pressure is 10 psi (69 kPa) at low idle and 55.1 psi (380 kPa) at maximum rated speed.

If the oil pressure drops below the preset level of 7.5 psi (52 kPa), the cab display module (CDM) flashes an error
code and error message.

If the STOP ENGINE light illuminates, stop the engine IMMEDIATELY and investigate.

If the yellow CAUTION light illuminates, stopping immediately is optional. You may continue operations and
investigate later, but you are STRONGLY advised to monitor the situation carefully.
