This plate highlights the fact that the engine must be installed with the corresponding ATS system by the bodybuilder. When installation has been completed, it must be removed.
Some warning labels (below the description) are affixed to the engine.
NOTE: labels containing an exclamation mark highlight a potential danger.
Each time before starting the engine:
ATTENTION!
Make sure that the environment where the engine will operate is free of combustible vapours or gases. Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation and a suitable exhaust gas extraction system for closed environments.
In case of use in extremely dusty environments and according to the final configuration of the generator, soundproofed or without hood, special protections must be provided on the most sensitive components.
When the engine is running, check regularly that the engine coolant temperature does not reach the alarm threshold.
If the detected temperature is too high, disconnect the load and shut down the engine in order to check the cooling circuit conditions.
ATTENTION!
When the engine is hot, pressure builds up in the cooling circuits which may eject hot liquid violently, resulting in a risk of burns. Open the filler cap of the coolant tank only when the engine is cold.
Check the following:
Regularly check that the oil pressure keeps within normal values. In case the value detected is too low, check the oil level and refill if necessary following the instructions reported in the CONTROLS AND MAINTENANCE section.
If the conditions persist, contact the Service Centre.
It is advisable to drain the water from the filters before the relevant warning light comes on.
Do not use the engine if the tank only contains the quantity of fuel kept as reserve; this condition promotes the formation of condensate and the intake of sludge or air, causing the engine to stop.
ATTENTION!
Pay maximum attention when refuelling, making sure that solid or liquid pollutants do not enter the tank; please remember that smoking is prohibited while refuelling.
ATTENTION!
Never loosen the high pressure fuel circuit connectors in any way
Regularly inspect the cleanliness of the air intake inlets and the exhaust ducts. The maintenance intervals indicated in this manual will vary depending on the conditions of use of the engine.
In particularly dusty environments the maintenance frequency must be increased from that shown in section CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE.
ATTENTION!
Visually check that the exhaust circuit is not obstructed or damaged to prevent noxious and harmful fumes inside the ducts.
Check periodically the cleanliness and efficiency of the batteries, particularly during winter, performing checks and top ups as indicated in the CONTROLS AND MAINTENANCE chapter; close attention must be paid to the caution notices. In the event of battery replacement, observe the characteristics contained in the ENGINE TECHNICAL DATA section.
If the voltmeter indicates a voltage value lower than 22 V, contact a specialised workshop and have the efficiency of the batteries and charging system diagnosed.
This system is used to limit the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in the exhaust within the limits required by standards, transforming the nitrogen oxide into inert compounds: free nitrogen (N2) and water vapour (H2O).
