Intended use and improper use

• The engine is intended for use in combination with the machine
on which it is installed.
• Any use other than that intended by Valdinoci Luigi S.p.A and
stated in this manual shall be considered improper.
• Valdinoci Luigi S.p.A shall not be liable for any damage due to
changes to the engine that are not indicated in this manual or
carried out by personnel authorised by Valdinoci Luigi S.p.A.
• Compliance with and total respect of the conditions of use and
safety precautions set out in this manual will help you avoid
accidents or personal injury.

Safety instructions

• The engine has been manufactured according to the
specifications of a machine manufacturer to meet the essential
health and safety requirements set out in current legislation.
Any use of the engine other than that established and intended
by Valdinoci Luigi S.p.A shall be considered improper use
and shall be subject to the relative consequences.
• The instructions in this manual are intended for the integrator
and shall be part of the technical documentation prepared for
the new complete machine formed by MACHINERY + PARTLY
COMPLETED MACHINERY (endothermic engine unit). +
It is the responsibility of the integrator of the partly completed
machinery to verify:
• the consistency of the command/control system;
• that the safety requirements are met before, during, and
after the stop phase.
The integrator of the partly completed machinery must verify
if:
• the emergency stop function stops the moving parts by
immediate removal of power to the actuators (category 0
stop);
• the emergency stop overrides all other functions and
immediately stops the actuators, without creating additional
hazards.
• The manufacturer Valdinoci Luigi S.p.A prohibits to put
into service the partly completed machinery until the final
machinery into which it is to be incorporated has been declared
in conformity with the provisions of Directive 2006/42/EC.
• The partly completed machinery has been manufactured for
different applications which shall be defined by the person who
will incorporate or assemble the partly completed machinery.
It consists of an endothermic engine, the operation of which
will allow the drive shaft to rotate, to which machines or other
parts will be connected for a specific purpose.
• The partly completed machinery must only be used by qualified
and trained personnel who shall know the position and function
of all controls, instruments, indicators, warning lights and
safety decals or plates. The operator/user must familiarise
himself with the equipment before operation.
• Read these instructions thoroughly. Otherwise, serious
hazards could occur to the health and safety of persons near
the machine.
• Failure to observe even one of the safety precautions can
lead to serious personal injury and to damage to the partly
completed machinery.
• Upon start-up, make sure that the engine is in a near
horizontal position, unless otherwise specified in the machine
specifications.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Personnel using or servicing the engine must use the safety
devices and wear suitable personal protective equipment.
• Valdinoci Luigi S.p.A accepts no objective or subjective
liability if the instructions in this manual are not adhered to
and applied.
• Valdinoci Luigi S.p.A cannot anticipate every reasonably
foreseeable misuse that can lead to a potential danger.
• Check the machine stability in order to prevent the risk of
tip-over.
• The engine cannot operate in environments in which there
are flammable materials and/or powders and explosive
atmospheres unless specific measures have been taken that
are clearly indicated and certified for the machine.
• To prevent the risk of fire, a distance of at least one metre
must be kept between the machine and buildings or other
machinery.
• Children and animals must be kept away from the machine to
avoid dangers due to its operation.
• Before performing any operation, thoroughly clean all
of the outer parts of the engine in order to prevent the
accidental introduction of impurities or foreign matters.
Only use water and/or suitable products for cleaning the
engine. When using pressure or steam cleaning devices, keep
the nozzle at a distance of at least 200 mm from the surface
to be cleaned. Do not direct the high pressure jet at electrical
parts, cable joints, and sealing rings.Thoroughly clean the area
around/over the engine, following the instructions provided by
the machine manufacturer.
• Fuel and oil are highly flammable and must only be filled with
the engine off. Before starting the engine, ensure all fuel leaks
have been cleaned up.
• Make sure that any sound absorbing panels and the ground
on which the machine is resting are free of any fuel residues.
• Fuel vapours are highly toxic. Refuelling must be carried out
outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.
• Do not smoke or use open flames during refuelling.
• The partly completed machinery must be inspected and
repaired only by workshops authorised by the manufacturer
or by trained, qualified and authorised personnel who have
followed the training courses organised by the manufacturer
and have been informed of the characteristics of the partly
completed machinery and the hazards associated with
working with the partly completed machinery.
• After each repair, test machine operation to be sure that work
has been done successfully.
• Do not work in poor visibility or lighting conditions or when
other conditions can affect your ability to see and make your
work unsafe and dangerous.
• Verify that all safety devices operate efficiently when the partly
completed machinery is used.
• Never align holes with your fingers. Use a suitable tool.
• Wear tight-fitting work clothes and use the personal protective
equipment provided (safety shoes, hard hat, goggles and
