5 | Safety regulations
54 AXH1230‐UK ﴾ENG﴿ ‐ Apollo KM
– Acheckupoftheinstrumentationwillbeperformedwithall
the indicators lighting up for about 5 seconds. Only the
followinglightsmustremainswitchedonattheendofthe
checkup:
– Engineoilpressureindicatorlight
– Batterychargeindicatorlight
– Generalalarmwarninglight
– Intermittentbuzzer
– Otherindicatorsofactivatedfunctions(e.g.:Parking
brake,gearsengaged,etc.)
WARNING! If other indicators remain on signaling
malfunctions or if one of the previous conditions does
not occur, do NOT start‐up the engine and refer to the
"Maintenance" chapter or contact the Dieci service
center.
1. Turntheignitionkey(fig.1505381)toposition”3”tostartup
theengine.Releasethestarterwithin5seconds.
2. Releasethe keyoncethe enginehasstarted.Theindicators
relatedtotheengineoilpressureandbatterychargemustgo
offoncetheengineisstartedup.
3. If the engine does not start within 5 seconds, try again at
regular 15 second intervals to prevent overloading the
starter.
5.16.4 Warm-up after starting-up
Duringthefirstfewminutesofuse,keepthespeedslowinordertowarmuptheengineandhydraulicoil.
WARNING
Serious damage can be caused to the engine and the hydraulic system if the engine
reaches high rpm before the operating oil temperature and pressure levels are reached.
Let the engine run at 1100 - 1300 rpm for about 5 minutes so as to bring the engine oil to the operating
temperature, particularly, with outdoor temperatures below 0 °C.
5.16.5 Start-up at low environmental temperatures
Consider the following warnings before startingup at low environmental temperatures and with a cold
engine:
– Inordertopreventdischargingthebattery,donotprolongeachattempttostartupbymore than15
seconds;however,iftheenginedoesnotseemtobestartingup,extendthetimetoamaximumof30
seconds.
– Waitatleastoneminutebeforetryingtostartupagain.
– Itisrecommendedtonotexceedsixstartupattemptssoasnottodischargethebatteryexcessively.
NOTICE
It is recommended to use anti-freeze diesel at environmental temperatures lower than 0°C, so as to make
sure the engine is optimally supplied, without reducing performance.
