SIGNS Certain warning signs are affixed to the engine by the Manufacturer, and their meanings are indicated below. N.B. The signs with an exclamation mark on them underline a potential danger. Danger of burning: Lifting point (engine only). Expulsion of hot water under pressure. Danger of burning: Fuel Cap Presence of high temperature parts.
USE STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE The start-up and shut-down operations described below apply to an on-board control panel manufactured by FPT; if the Manufacturer of PRELIMINARY CHECKS the vehicle or machine has fitted a customised instrument panel, these...
INTERCONNECTION ELECTRICAL UNIT In order to allow the unit’s correct electrical functioning, an interconnection unit has been fitted to the engine. The engine electronic control system and the power unit system depend from the aforesaid interconnection unit. Some indications relating to its components and functions controlled by programming commutators are reported here following.
Engine speed and accessory functions control FOR PROPER USE OF THE ENGINE Programming of the functions here following is possible commuting Before starting the engine, check there is enough fuel in the fuel the position of the JP switches. tank.
SPECIAL WARNINGS Further information on the cooling liquid technical specifications and quantity prescribed are reported in the CONTROLS AND Engine cooling liquid MAINTENANCE section. When the engine is running, regularly check that the engine cooling liquid temperature does not reach the alarm threshold. CAUTION! In case the temperature detected is excessive, disconnect the load and stop the engine to check the cooling circuit status.
Fuel circuit Air intake and exhaust discharge circuits Avoid using the engine with only a small reserve of fuel in the fuel tank; Inspect the cleanliness of the air intake circuit on a regular basis. The this encourages the formation of condensation and makes it more maintenance intervals indicated in this manual vary according to the likely you will suck up dirt or air, resulting in engine stoppage.

Clean heat exchanger (radiator) 1200 hours proper working tools and adequate protection devices. The procedure and modality for carrying out these operations Visual inspection of turbocharger 1200 hours are illustrated in the FPT Technical and Repair Manual.
REQUIREMENTS HOW TO PROCEED Check oil level in engine / Change oil 1. Do not disconnect the batteries with the engine running. Only proceed with the engine stopped and at a low temperature, so 2. Do not carry out arc welding operations in the vicinity of the engine as to avoid the risk of burning.
Coolant level inspection Clean heat exchangers Proceed only with engine not running and at low temperature to avoid Check that the radiator air inlets are free from dirt (dust, mud, straw, any risk of burns. etc.). Clean them if necessary, using compressed air or steam. ...

Checking/topping up electrolyte level in batteries Place the batteries on a level surface, then proceed as follows. Visually check that the fluid level is between the "Min" and "Max" limits; in the absence of references, check that the fluid covers the Lead plates inside the elements for about 5 mm.
Change oil filter Changing the fuel filter Only proceed with the engine stopped and at a low temperature, so Only proceed with the engine stopped and at a low temperature, so as to avoid the risk of burning. as to avoid the risk of burning. Only use filters with a filtration level equivalent to the ones you are Only use filters with a filtration level equivalent to the ones you are replacing (see section FREQUENCY).
Changing the fuel pre-filter NOTE: The injection systems in the various engines do not require bleeding to remove residual air. Only proceed with the engine stopped. Should the filter be fitted with a Should it be necessary to accelerate the bleeding phase, with the sensor to detect the presence of exception of the C87 ENT engine, loosen the manifold on the cylinder water (3), remove the whole...
Check the efficiency of the earthing connection of the filter support (4). NOTE: should it be necessary to accelerate the bleeding phase, the hand pump can be used during start-up. Drain water from the fuel pre-filter The high risk of refuelling with fuel that is polluted by foreign bodies and water makes it advisable to carry out this control every time you refuel.
Change coolant Replacing the blow-by filter Only proceed with the engine stopped and at a low temperature, so Only proceed with the engine stopped and at a low temperature, so as to avoid the risk of burning. as to avoid the risk of burning. ...

Check tension and state of the auxiliary member Install blow-by body (1) with related seal and lock screws (2) at required torque. drive belt Install cover (3) and lock screws (2) at required torque. Only proceed with the engine stopped and at a low temperature, so as to avoid the risk of burning.
Adjustment of valve/rocker arm clearance MOVING THE ENGINE The adjustment of the clearance between the rocker arms and the The operations necessary to disconnect and subsequently reconnect intake and exhaust valve control rods must be strictly carried out using the engine must only be carried out by technicians from Service an Allen wrench (1), box-end wrench (3) and a feeler gauge (2).
LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY 7. Drain the residual 30/M protective oil from the sump. This oil can be used again for a further 2 preparation operations. 8. Fit signs reading "ENGINE WITHOUT OIL" to the engine and to PREPARING THE ENGINE FOR A LONG the on-board control panel.
RESTARTING THE ENGINE AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF INACTIVITY 1. Drain the residual 30/M protective oil from the sump. 2. Fill the engine, as prescribed, with lubricant of the type and amount indicated in the table REFUELLING. 3. Drain the CFB protective fluid from the fuel circuit, carrying out this operation as indicated under point 3.
