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.
Lubrication circuit
When a state of “Oil pressure low”, is found, this triggers stoppage
of the engine; in this case, check the oil level and top up if necessary,
following the instructions given in the chapter on CONTROLS
AND MAINTENANCE.
If the condition persists, contact an Authorised Service Centre.
Fuel circuit
Avoid using the engine with only a small reserve of fuel in the fuel
tank; this encourages the formation of condensation and makes it
more likely you will suck up dirt or air, resulting in engine stoppage.
Air intake and exhaust discharge circuits
Inspect the cleanliness of the air intake circuit on a regular basis. The
maintenance intervals indicated in this manual vary according to the
conditions in which the engine is used.
In particularly dusty environments it is necessary to carry out
maintenance at more frequent intervals; with respect to the
indications provided in the chapter CONTROLS AND
MAINTENANCE.
CAUTION!
Only open the coolant tank cap if strictly necessary, and
only when the engine is cold.
CAUTION!
When refuelling, always pay great care to ensure that no
solid or liquid pollutants enter the fuel tank; you must also
remember that smoking and live flames are prohibited
when refuelling.
CAUTION!
Never loosen the circuit connectors in any way when the
engine is running.
