WARNING
Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
liquids must be mixed in the tank by pouring in
first the kerosene and then the diesel fuel.
Consult Lombardini technical office for mixture
proportions. Petrol may not be used because of
the risk of it forming flammable vapours.
• During operation the surface of the engine
reaches temperatures that may be dangerous.
Avoid in particular all contact with the exhaust
system.
• Before carrying out any work on the engine, turn
it off and allow it to cool down. Do not perform
any operation while the engine is running.
• The liquid cooling circuit is under pressure. Do
not carry out any checks before the engine has
cooled down, and even then open the radiator
cap or the expansion tank cautiously. Wear
protective clothing and glasses. lf there is an
electric fan, do not approach the engine while it
is still hot as the fan may come on even when
the engine is not running. Clean the cooling
system with the engine turned off.
• While cleaning the oil bath air filter, check that the
oil is disposed of in such a way as not to harm
the environment. Any filtering sponges in the oil
bath air filter should not be soaked with oil. The
cyclone pre-filter cup must not be filled with oil.
• Since the oil must be emptied out while the engine
is still hot (approx. 80°C), particular care should
be taken in order to avoid burns. In any case
make sure that oil does not come into contact
with your skin because of the health hazards
involved.
• Check that the discharged oil, the oil filter and the
oil contained in the oil filter are disposed of in
such a way as not to harm the environment.
• Close the fuel tank filler cap carefully after each
fílling operation. Do not fill the tank right up to the
top, but leave sufficient space to allow for any
expansion of the fuel.
• Fuel vapours are highly toxic, so fill up only in the
open air or in well ventilated environments.
• Do not smoke or use naked flames while filling.
• Take care when removing the oil filter as it may
be hot.
• The operations of checking, filling up and
replacing the cooling liquid must be carried out
with the engine turned off and cold. Take
particular care if liquids containing nitrites are
mixed with others not containing these
compounds as this may give rise to the
formation of nitrosamines which are a health
hazard. The cooling liquid is polluting, so
dispose of in a manner that does not damage
the environment.
• During operations which involve access to
moving parts of the engine and/or removal of
the rotary guards, disconnect and insulate the
positive cable of the battery so as to prevent
accidental short circuits and activation of the
starter motor.
• Check the belt tension only when the engine is
turned off.
• In order to move the engine simultaneously use
the eyebolts fitted for this purpose by
Ruggerini. These lifting points are however not
suitable for the entire machine, so in this case
use the eyebolts fitted by the manufacturer.
