RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
The engine is delivered by the factory 
in the running order. However, during 
operation the following indications should 
be observed:
1 -During running-in (rst 50 working 
hours) and throughout the engine lifetime, 
carry out the maintenance in compliance 
with the intervals established by the ma-
nufacturer (see “Engine maintenance”
2 -If the engine is not used regularly, start 
it after each month of inactivity and run 
it at minimum speed until the operating 
temperature (70÷80°C) is reached.
3 -Avoid using the engine at the highest 
speed for prolonged periods during run-
ning- in.
4 -When starting the engine for the rst 
time, run it at no-load for a few minutes 
and make sure that the oil pressure value 
matches the one stated in the table (see 
“Specications” - “Lubrication circuit”).
5 -Properly pre-heat the engine when 
using it at low temperatures. When using
the engine at low temperatures (lower 
than -10°C), ll it with winter-type fuel.
6 -Use oils and lubricants with suitable 
features (viscosity grade, specications 
and operating temperature) (see “Recom-
mended lubricants”).
7 -If the alarm signal, which can be 
acoustic and/or visible on the control 
panel according to the type of installation, 
is triggered while the engine is running, 
the electronic management system may 
switch the engine to emergency opera-
tion, with automatic restriction of perfor-
mance levels..
 Important
If the alarm signal is triggered, contact 
a VM MOTORI S.P.A. service centre.
OPERATING THE ENGINE UNDER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
The engine performance is affected by 
fuel temperature, the temperature and 
relative humidity of incoming air and 
altitude.
When using the engine at high altitudes 
and high air and fuel temperatures, the 
output is reduced.

TORI S.P.A. assistance centre.
