TECHNICAL INFORMATION
EN
- Turbocharger with Waste-gate valve;
- Common Rail - Direct injection.
N. B.: Low S.A.P.S. technology (fuel with low Sulphate, Phosphorous, Sulphur content) keeps catalyst
in working conditions. The presence of sulfate, phosphorus and sulfur ashes causes with time the
catalyst clogging and its consequent inefficiency.
2.4.1 SAE oil classification
In the SAE classification, oils are identified according
to viscosity without considering any other qualitative
characteristic.
The code is made up of two numbers. The first number
refers to the viscosity when cold, for use during winter
("W"= winter), while the second number is for viscosity at
high temperatures.
2.5.1 Fuel for low temperatures
When operating the engine in ambient temperatures lower than 0 degrees C, use suitable low temperature fuel normally
available from fuel distributors and corresponding to the specifications of Tab. 2.3.
• These fuels reduce the formation of paraffin in diesel at low temperatures.
• When paraffin forms in the diesel, the fuel filter becomes blocked interrupting the flow of fuel.
2.4 Oil
Important
The engine may be damaged if operated with improper oil
level.
Do not exceed the MAX level because a sudden increase in
engine rpm could be caused by its combustion.
Use only the recommended oil to ensure adequate
protection, efficiency and service life of the engine.
The use of lubricants other than recommended may shorten
the engine life.
Viscosity must be appropriate to the ambient temperature
to which the engine is to be exposed (Par. 2.4.1).
Danger
Prolonged skin contact with the exhausted engine oil can
cause cancer of the skin.
If contact with oil cannot be avoided, thoroughly wash your
hands with soap and water as soon as possible.
For the exhausted oil disposal, refer to Par. 6.5 DISPOSAL
and SCRAPPING.

2.5 Fuel
Important
Use the same type of diesel fuel as used in cars (EN 590 for
E.U. - ASTM D975 regulation - S 15 for U.S). Use of other
types of fuel could damage the engine. Do not use dirty
diesel fuel or mixtures of diesel fuel and water since this will
cause serious engine faults.
Any failures resulting from the use of fuels other than
recommended will not be warranted.
Warning
Clean fuel prevents the fuel injectors from clogging.
Immediately clean up any spillage during refuelling.
Never store diesel fuel in galvanized containers (i.e. coated
with zinc). Diesel fuel and the galvanized coating react
chemically to each other, producing flaking that quickly
clogs filters or causes fuel pump and/or injector failure.
