I've got a new L3200.
I keep the throttle at less than max RPM...but not sure if there are any rules of thumb on where to keep the RPMs while working.
Is it best to keep the RPMs at some distinct sweet spot regardless of what I'm doing? I don't have a good ear on this new machine...and it is my first diesel of any type... so I don't trust myself to detect the sound of "bogging" the engine.
(during break-in, I'm varying the RPMs quite a bit.... even when I jump off, I set the idle at different speeds... but this question pertains to the post-break-in phase)
I found nothing about proper RPMs in the manual.
