1.4 Oil

Important
•-The- engine- may- be- damaged- if- operated- with- improper- oil-
level.-
•-Do-not-exceed-the-MAX-level-because-a-sudden-increase-in-
engine-rpm-could-be-caused-by-its-combustion.-
•-Use-only-the-recommended-oil-to-ensure-adequate-protection,-
efficiency-and-service-life-of-the-engine.-
•-The-use-of-lubricants-other-than-recommended-may-shorten-
the-engine-life.-
•-Viscosity-must-be-appropriate-to-the-ambient-temperature-to-
which-the-engine-is-to-be-exposed-(Par. 1.4.1).-
1.4.1 SAE oil classification
•-In- the- SAE- classification,- oils- are- identified- according-
to- viscosity- without- considering- any- other- qualitative-
characteristic.

1.5 Fuel

Important
•-Use-the-same-type-of-diesel-fuel-as-used-in-cars-(EN-590-for-E.U.---ASTM-D975-09B-regulation---S-15-for-U.S).-Use-of-other-
types-of-fuel-could-damage-the-engine.-Do-not-use-dirty-diesel-fuel-or-mixtures-of-diesel-fuel-and-water-since-this-will-cause-
serious-engine-faults.
Warning
•-Clean-fuel-prevents-the-fuel-injectors-from-clogging.-Immediately-clean-up-any-spillage-during-refuelling.-
•-Never-store-diesel-fuel-in-galvanized-containers-(i.e.-coated-with-zinc).-Diesel-fuel-and-the-galvanized-coating-react-chemically-
to-each-other,-producing-flaking-that-quickly-clogs-filters-or-causes-fuel-pump-and/or-injector-failure.
1.5.1 Fuel for low temperatures
•-When-operating-the-engine-in-ambient-temperatures-lower-than-0-degrees-C,-use-suitable-low-temperature-fuel-normally-available-
from-fuel-distributors-and-corresponding-to-the-specifications-of-Tab.
•-These-fuels-reduce-the-formation-of-paraffin-in-diesel-at-low-temperatures.-
•-When-paraffin-forms-in-the-diesel,-the-fuel-filter-becomes-blocked-interrupting-the-flow-of-fuel.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Danger
•-Prolonged- skin- contact- with- the- exhausted- engine- oil- can-
cause-cancer-of-the-skin.-
•-If-contact-with-oil-cannot-be-avoided,-thoroughly-wash-your-
hands-with-soap-and-water-as-soon-as-possible.-
•-For-the-exhausted-oil-disposal,-refer-to-Par. 5.6 DISPOSAL
and SCRAPPING.
•-The-code-is-made-up-of-two-numbers.-The-first-number-refers-
to-the-viscosity-when-cold,-for-use-during-winter-("W"=-winter),-
while-the-second-number-is-for-viscosity-at-high-temperatures.-
