WARNING! Stay clear of all rotating and moving
parts during operation.

ventilated. Insufficient airsupply to the engine
means imperfect combustion and a loss of
power.

tion, operate the engine under a lighter load and
lower speeds than normal for break-in. Proper
break-in contributes to maximum service life of
the engine.

and its components are hot. A hot engine always
involves risk for burn injuries. Take care with hot
surfaces. E.g.: exhaust manifold, turbocharger,
oil pan, charge air pipe, starting heater, hot
coolant and warm lubricant in pipes and hoses.

incomplete fuel combustion often indicated by
black exhaust, high fuel consumption and carbon
deposits in combustion chambers, affecting
engine life.
IMPORTANT! Do not turn the starter switch key
