Engine servicing
■ Refer to the chapter "Engine servicing" for instructions on how to maintain the engine. The in-
structions and procedures are compiled in relation to fuel consumption and/or service intervals,
expressed in working hours or calendar time. The required maintenance intervals are indicated in
the "Maintenance intervals" chapter.
■ Maintenance intervals are determined by the number of operating hours completed. Calendar pe-
riods (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) can be used instead of the intervals indicated by the operating
hours counter, if these allow more convenient maintenance schedules and if they roughly corre-
spond to the intervals shown by the operating hours counter.
■ Maintenance must always be carried out at the specified time. The maintenance plan will also be
affected by the particular environment in which the engine is being operated. In particularly tough
operating conditions, for example in dust-laden environments, high humidity or cold weather, lu-
bricating or maintenance work may have to be carried out more frequently than indicated in the
maintenance intervals.
■ Maintenance work should always be carried out with the engine switched off. If maintenance
work has to be carried out with the engine running, particular attention should be paid to the pos-
sible dangers and precautions should be taken accordingly.
