LUBRICATION SYSTEM Danger – Attention The engine can be damaged if allowed to operate with insufficient oil. It is also dangerous to add too much oil because its combu- stion may lead to a sharp increase in the rotation speed. Use suitable oil in order to protect the engine. Nothing more than lubrication oil can influence the performances and life of an engine. Use of an inferior quality oil or failure to regularly change the oil will increase the risk of piston seizure, will cause the piston rings to jam and will lead to rapid wear on the cylinder liner, the bearings and all other moving parts.

Adjustments With a special tool matr.1460-342, mount the nut on the threaded pin Keeping lever C displaced, close the hole with plug A and gasket B. Setting the slow idle (standard) rotation speed After having filled the engine with oil and fuel, start it and allow it to warm up for 10 minutes.
Adjustments Fasten lock nut 4 keeping adjusting screw 3 in its position. Injection pump delivery limiting and torque adapter Delivery limiting device C has the function of limiting the injection pump max. delivery. The same mechanism acts also as a torque gearing device. Indeed, under torque, spring E inside the limiter is compressed when subject to the action of the governor levers, by exploiting the opposed forces of the accelerator spring and of the centrifugal weights of the speed governor.
Adjustments Injection pump delivery setting for engines with dynamometric brake 1 - Start engine to idling speed 2 - Unscrew delivery limiting device C ( see fig.187) 3 - Accelerate the engine and load the dynamometric brake until obtaining power at the rpm required by the application manufacturer.
STORAGE ENGINE STORAGE - When the engines are not in use for more than 6 months, they have to be protected performing the operations descri- bed in the following pages. If the engine is not to be used for extensive periods, check the storage area conditions and the type of packaging and make sure that these are suitable for correct storage.
Storage PREPARING THE ENGINE FOR OPERATION AFTER PROTECTIVE TREATMENT After the storage period and before starting up the engine and preparing it for operation, you need to perform certain operations to ensure maximal efficiency conditions. 1 - Remove the protective sheet. 2 - Remove any sealing devices from the exhaust and intake ducts. 3 - Use a cloth soaked in degreasing product to remove the protective treatment from the external parts.
