■ After starting the engine
In temperatures from 0 - 60 °C (32 - 140 °F) the warm-up time is approximately 3 min. In temper-
atures below 0 °C (32 °F), additional warm-up time may be required. Operate the engine at low
idle until all systems achieve operating temperatures. Check all indications on the display during
warm-up period.
■ Extended idle at cold ambient temperature
The engine may automatically change speed when the engine is idling in cold ambient tempera-
ture (typically less than 0 °C (32 °F)) for extended periods. The engine speed may rise above idle
for as long as 20 min. The exhaust temperature indication may illuminate during extended idling
conditions. This signal indicates that regeneration is in progress. Regeneration in these condi-
tions may only last up to 17 min.
■ Stopping the engine
While the vehicle is stopped, run the engine for 5 min at low idle to allow hot areas of the engine
to cool gradually. Then, turn the engine to off and remove the key.
■ Oil and coolant analysis
Take oil and coolant samples (sample analysis is not mandatory) every 250 h of engine opera-
tion. Use the reports on oil and coolant condition to diagnose engine condition and anticipate
problem areas such as premature wear.
■ Severe service application
An engine which operates outside of normal conditions is operating in a severe service applica-
tion. An engine in such conditions may need more frequent maintenance intervals. Refer to your
Prinoth representative for information on maintenance required according the your special needs.
WARNING
Suffocating hazard
Engine exhaust contains products which may be harmful to health. Failure to follow these instructions
may cause personal injury or death.
► Always start and operate the engine in a well ventilated area.
► If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.

Engine warning labels

■ There are various warning labels on the engine. Operating personnel must familiarise themselves
with all warning labels.
■ Take care that all warning labels remain legible. If a warning label has become dirty or illegible, it
must be cleaned or replaced. Do not clean warning labels with solvents, petrol or other aggres-
sive chemicals. These can dissolve the adhesive with which the warning label is attached to the
surface. Loose warning labels may fall off.
■ Warning stickers must be replaced if damaged or if they have been lost. If a damaged part that
carries a warning label has to be replaced during repairs, a new warning label must be attached
to the replacement part.
■ Do not start up or carry out any work on the engine without having read and understood the in-
structions and warning information in this operating and maintenance manual. The operating per-
sonnel are responsible for taking the necessary precautions. If the instructions and warning infor-
mation are not followed, there is danger of injury or death.
NOTICE
► Keep warning labels clean and legible.
► Replace damaged warning labels immediately.
