FPT F32 MNS - Maintenance Procedures

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
inconveniences, 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 l eakage 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 c ontrols
Engine oil level check
The check must be executed when the engine is disconnected
and possibly cool.
The check can be made using the specially provided flexible
rod (1).
Figure 105
Draw off the rod (1) 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, operate through the upper top (2) or
through the lateral top (1). During filling operation, the tops
must be removed 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.

The engine oil is highly polluting and harmful.
In case of contact with the skin, rinse well with
water and detergent.
Adequately protect the skin and the eyes, operate
in full compliance with safety regulations.
Disposal must be carried out properly, and in full
compliance with the law and regulations in force.
