MAINTENANCE WHEN THE ENGINE IS LEFT IDLE
WASHING THE ENGINE
In order to avoid irreversibly damaging
the electrical and electronic components
of the engine, do not spray high pressure
jets of water or jets of vapour in the direc-
tion of these components.
Pay particular attention to:
□ cable connection points and engi-
ne wiring electrical connectors
□ alternator, starter motor,
□ injection pump and related fuel
supply pump,
□ electro-injectors,
□ electrical sensors installed on the
engine,
□ electronic engine management
control unit,
□ engine suction air lter and rela-
ted air ow meter,
□ fuel lter,
– If you decide to wash the engine, ade-
quately protect the above listed compo-
nents before washing.
– When washing is complete, start the
engine and leave it running for a few
minutes until it is completely dry.
If the vehicle/equipment to which the
engine is tted remains inactive, certain
maintenance operations must be carried
out to ensure the engine remains in full
working order.
If the engine is not used for short periods
of time, carry out the following interven-
tions:
1- Make sure the electric contacts are
working properly and, if necessary, protect
them with an anti-oxidant spray.
– Check the charge of the battery and the
liquid level.
– If necessary, carry out the scheduled
maintenance work (See “Engine mainte-
nance”).
It is advisable to start the engine
bringing it to the operating temperatu-
re (70÷80°C) at least once per month.
The engine must be started once per
month if it is installed for emergency
purposes.
If the engine needs to be used in emer-
gency conditions, refer to the specic
regulations concerning compulsory
start-up: if there are no specic regu-
lations, you are advised to start up the
engine once a month.
If the engine is left idle for prolonged
periods, carry out the engine protective
treatment to guarantee its efciency for 6
months and to avoid continuous control
and maintenance interventions. If the
engine is not used for a further period of
time, check the need to repeat the protec-
tive treatment for other 6 months. (Vedi
“Engine storage”).
