FOR PROPER USE OF THE ENGINE
q Do not leave the key turned to the start position 1C, when the
engine has started.
q It is not efficient to leave the engine running at minimum speed
while waiting for it to reach the proper working temperature; it is
preferable that, after approximately one minute from start-up, you
gradually increase the engine load.
q Do not leave the engine running at minimum speed for long, as this
increases the production of harmful emissions and does not
guarantee the best performance.
q The engine speed must be increased and decreased gradually, to
allow regular combustion and proper operation of all engine
components.
q The running speed and power values must comply with the
specifications on the technical and commercial documentation.
During use, periodically check that:
1. The engine coolant temperature does not reach the alarm
threshold.
2. The oil pressure remains within normal values.
SPECIAL WARNINGS
Coolant circuit
When a state of “Coolant temperature high” and “Engine coolant level
low” is found, this triggers stoppage of the engine; in these cases, check
the efficiency of the circuit components, remembering that when the
engine is warm, a pressure liable to cause hot liquid to be expelled
with extreme violence is created within the cooling circuits. This
results in a danger of burning.
If the temperature is considered too high, reduce speed and stop to
check the state of the cooling system circuits; also check and have
checked:
a) the tension of the auxiliary member drive belt;
b) operation of the thermostat valve;
c) whether or not the heat exchanger is clean.
CAUTION!
Only open the coolant tank cap if strictly necessary, and
only when the engine is cold.
