If necessary, cover the engine with a proper protective sheet.
- Avoid storing the engine in direct contact with the ground, in environments that are
humid and exposed to bad weather, near high voltage electric lines, etc.
PROTECTIVE TREATMENT
1 - Pour in the engine housing AGIP RUSTIA C protective oil up to the maximum level.
2 - Fill up with fuel containing 10% AGIP RUSTIA NT.
3 - Start the engine and keep it idle at minimum speed for some minutes.

1 - Remove the protective sheet.
2 - Remove any sealing devices from the exhaust and intake ducts.
3 - Use a cloth soaked in degreasing product to remove the protective treatment
from the external parts.
5 - Inject lubricating oil (no more than 2 cm3) into the intake ducts.
6 - Adjust the alternator/fan belt tension (if present).
7 - Turn the engine manually to check the correct movement and smoothness of the
mechanical parts.
8 - Rell the tank with fresh fuel.
