ATS system
This system is used to maintain the nitrogen oxide (NO
x
) emissions in
the exhaust within the limits required by standards, transforming the
nitrogen oxide into inert compounds: nitrogen (N
2
) and water vapour
(H
2
O). Periodically clean the filters at the intervals indicated in the
CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE section.
Electric starter system
Check periodically the cleanliness and efficiency of the batteries,
particularly during winter, as indicated in the CHECKS AND
MAINTENANCE section. Top up if necessary.
In the event of battery replacement, observe the characteristics
contained in the ENGINE TECHNICAL DATA chapter.
RUN-IN
Thanks to modern engine design technology, no particular run-in
procedure is required.
CAUTION!
Visually check that the exhaust circuit is not obstructed
or damaged to prevent the formation of noxious and
harmful fumes inside the ducts.
Contact a specialised workshop and check battery and
recharging system efficiency if the voltmeter indicates a
voltage below 11 V (for 12 V rated systems).
Th
e batteries contain an acid solution that will burn the
skin and corrode clothing; when checking them, always
wear protective clothing, gloves and goggles, do not
smoke or use live flames in the vicinity, and make sure
that the room they are housed in is adequately ventilated.
