BREAK-IN
Break-in Period for New Machine
Machine life and performance will be greatly affected by the
treatment during operation and maintenance of the machine,
but especially so during the initial operation.
IMPORTANT: Always correctly warm the machine up to
operating temperatures before running the machine !
This is always a requirement for good machine life.
IMPORTANT: The machine must be operated
appropriately as the new parts start to wear during the
“break-in“ period.
If the new machine is abused, especially during the
beginning break-in period, it will significantly reduce
the operative life of the machine.
This abuse can be in many forms, including, but not
limited to, the following.
Overloading in any from:
Bucket
Ballast
At drawbar
Others
Hitting unmovable objects
Using brakes during operation and burning friction material
Running hydraulic system pressure over relief setting
pressures too often and heating the oil excessively
Tractively twisting the boom arms or chassis
Running through impassible terrain
Not decelerating while changing machine direction
Scaling out heavy materials like heavy rock while in forward
motion, causing the bucket to catch and break free, and
catch materials again
Other types of poor treatment
The machine must never be abused, and must be treated
carefully while during the break-in period.
Operate and maintain the machine well
Generously lubricate it, especially during the first 100 hours
Work Mode for Break-in
For the first 100 hours of operation, avoid using the power
mode and perform the following:
Thoroughly walk around and inspect the machine for
damage
Warm up the machine after engine start up
Avoid sudden starts and stops
Moderately load the machine and operate modestly at
below 2/3 capacity

NOTE: Refer to page 1-104 for the power mode.
