– During the design and construction 
phases, the Manufacturer paid special 
attention to the aspects which are liable 
to cause any risk for the safety and health 
of people interacting with the engine. 
Besides complying with the relevant 
legislation in force, he followed all the 
“rules for a good construction technique”. 
The purpose of this information is making 
users aware of the need to pay the utmost 
attention to prevent any risk. Caution is 
however imperative. Safety also depends 
on all the operators who interact with the 
engine.
– Read carefully the instructions contai-
ned in the manual supplied and those 
applied on the engine, in particular follow 
those concerning safety. Spend some of 
your time reading the instructions to avoid 
unpleasant accidents.
– Pay attention to the meaning of the 
symbols in the applied plates; their shape 
and colour have a specic meaning rela-
ted to safety. Keep them visible and follow 
the stated information.
– Use the engine only for the tasks autho-
rised by the manufacturer and do not tam-
per with any device to achieve a different 
performance from the intended one.
– The staff carrying out any type of inter-
vention throughout the life of the engine 
should have precise technical skills, 
specic abilities and experiences acqui-
red and acknowledged in this sector. The 
lack of these requirements may cause 
damages to people’s safety and health.
– All the installation phases should 
have been taken into account since the 
development of the initial project. The 
designer has to observe with the engine 
xing points and the general indications 
provided by the manufacturer.
– Carry out the handling of the engine in 
compliance with the information stated 
directly on the engine, on the packaging 
and in the operating instructions supplied 
by the manufacturer.
– When lifting or transporting unpacked 
engines use means of appropriate load 
capacity which must be properly ancho-
red.
– When lifting and transporting packaged 
engines, means of appropriate load capa-
city as stated on the packaging itself.
– Before carrying out other transfers, 
create the conditions required to guaran-
tee stability and to prevent any engine 
part from being damaged.
– Before starting the installation, the 
installer has to implement a “safety plan” 
and to follow the designer’s indications. 
Do not make changes to the engine com-
ponents for any reason.
– It is necessary to make sure that the 
installation area is tted with all intake, 
fuel supply and exhaust connections.
– The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage resulting from 
the misuse of the engine, from the failure 
to follow the indications contained in this 
manual and from any tampering with or 
change made without the manufacturer’s 
authorization.
– If appropriate, before using the engine 
for the rst time, after gathering all the 
necessary information, simulate a few 
trial manoeuvres to identify the controls 
and their main functions, especially those 
related with starting and stop operations.
