WARNING SIGNS
CAUTION
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Ruggerini engines are built to provide safe and
longlasting performances, but in order to obtain
these results it is essential that the maintenance
requirements described in the manual are
observed along with the following safety
recommendations.
• The engine has been built to the specifications of
a machine manufacturer, and it is his
responsibility to ensure that all necessary action
is taken to meet the essential and legally
prescribed health and safety requirements. Any
use of the machine other than that described
cannot be considered as complying with its
intended purpose as specified by Lombardini,
which therefore declines all responsibility for
accidents caused by such operations.
• The following instructions are intended for the
user of the machine in order to reduce or
eliminate risks, especially those concerning the
operation and standard maintenance of the
engine.
• The user should read these instructions carefully
and get to know the operations described. By
not doing so he may place at risk his own health
and safety and that of anyone else in the vicinity
of the machine.
• The engine may be used or mounted on a
machine only by personnel suitably trained in its
operation and aware of the dangers involved.
This is particularly true for standard and, above
all, special maintenance work. For special
maintenance contact personnel trained
specifically by Ruggerini. This work should be
carried out in accordance with existing
literature.
• Lombardini declines all responsibility for
accidents or for failure to comply with the
requirements of law if changes are made to the
engine’s functional parameters or to the fuel
flow rate adjustments and speed of rotation, if
seals are removed, or if parts not described in
the operating and maintenance manual are
removed and reassembled by unauthorized
personnel.
• In addition to all other machine specifications,
ensure that the engine is in a near horizontal
position when starting. lf starting manually,
ensure that the necessary operations can be
performed without any risk of striking against
walls or dangerous objects. Rope starting
(except for recoil rope starting) is not permitted
even in emergencies.
• Check that the machine is stable so that there is
no risk of it overturning.
• Get to know the engine speed adjustment and
machine stop operations.
• Do not start the machine in closed or poorly
ventilated environments. The internal
combustion process generates carbon
monoxide, an odourless and highly toxic gas,
so spending too long a time in an environment
where the engine discharges its exhaust
products freely can lead to loss of
consciousness and even death.
• The engine may not be used in environments
containing flammable materials, explosive
atmospheres or easily combustible powders,
unless adequate and specific precautions have
been taken and are clearly stated and certified
for the machine.
• To prevent the risk of fire, keep the machine at a
distance of at least one metre from buildings or
other machines.
• Children and animals must be kept at a sufficient
distance from the machine to prevent any danger
resulting from its operation.
• Fuel is flammable, so the tank must be filled only
when the engine is turned off. Dry carefully any
fuel that may have spilled, remove the fuel
container and any cloths soaked in fuel or oil,
check that any sound-absorbing panels made of
porous material are not soaked with fuel or oil,
and make sure that the ground on which the
machine is located has not absorbed fuel or oil.
• To start the engine follow the specific instructions
provided in the engine and/or machine operating
manual. Do not use auxiliary starting devices not
originally installed on the machine (e.g. Startpilot
systems which utilise ether etc.)
• Before starting, remove any tools that have been
used for carrying out maintenance work to the
engine and/or the machine and check that any
guards removed have been replaced. In cold
climates it is possible to mix kerosene with the
diesel fuel to make the engine easier to start. The
