FNM HPE Series Owner's Manual page 16

- Before using the engine for the first time simulate a few trial maneuvers to identify the controls
and their main functions, especially those related to start -stop operations. Do not keep using
the engine if anomalies are detected.
- In case of anomaly, stop immediately the engine or reduce the speed as far as possible. Start
again only when the normal operating conditions are restored.
- Keep the engine and related components in conditions of maximum efficiency and carry out the
maintenance operations established by the manufacturer and repeated in this manual.
- Replace only original spare parts. Use only oil, lubricants and grease recommended by the
manufacturer in accordance with the specifications of this manual.
- Pay attention to the disposal of polluting residues (used oil, diesel fuel, etc.) following the local
legislation and disposal procedures.
- Do not unscrew the expansion tank cap of the cooling system when the engine is hot! Slowly
turn until any steam under pressure comes out, and then remove the cap.
- Do not start the engine without the air filter: the detachment of rotor parts of the compressor
during operation could cause damage to persons, furthermore any aspirated particles could
damage the blades. Avoid contact of hands with the rotor.
- Do not touch the turbocharger and the turbine cover with hands immediately after using the
engine, risk of burns. Let engine cool before interacting with the hot parts.
