Checks not included in maintenance planning−daily checks
It is a good habit to execute, before engine start, a series of simple checks that might represent a valid warranty to avoid inconven-
iences, even serious, during engine running. Such checks are usually up to the operators and to the vehicle’s drivers.
− Level controls and checks of any eventual leakage from the fuel, cooling and lubricating circuits.
− Notify the maintenance if any inconvenience is detected of if any filling is necessary.
After engine start and while engine is running, proceed with the following checks and controls:
− check presence of any eventual leakage from the fuel, cooling and lubricating circuits.
− Verify absence of noise or unusual rattle during engine working.
− Verify, using the vehicle devices, the prescribed pressure temperature and other parameters.
− Visual check of fumes (colour of exhaust emissions)
− Visual check of cooling liquid level, in the expansion tank.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES − CHECKS
AND CONTROLS
Engine oil level check.
The check must be executed when the engine is disconnected
and possibly cool.

(1).
Draw off the rod from its slot and check that the level is within
the etched tags of minimum and maximum level.
Whether it should be difficult to make the evaluation, proceed
cleaning the rod using a clean cloth with no rag grinding and put
it back in its slot. Draw it off again and check the level.
In case the level results being close to the tag showing minimum
level, provide filling lubrication of the engine’s components.
To provide filling, oper ate through the upper top (1)orthrough
the lateral top (2). During filling operation, the tops must be re-
moved as well as the rod in order to make the oil flow easier”.
Some applications are equipped with a level transmitter alerting
dashboard instruments in case of insufficient lubrication oil
within the pan.
