| 200-250 degrees | Fair | Monitor closely |
| 250-300 degrees | Good | Normal operation |
| 300+ degrees | Excellent | Optimal performance |
What Affects Amplitude
- Power reserve low power = low amplitude
- Lubrication dry movements have low amplitude
- Temperature cold reduces amplitude
- Position amplitude varies by position
