RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MAINTENANCE
Keep the equipment as much efficient
as possible and carry out the scheduled
maintenance operations established by
the manufacturer.
A good maintenance will ensure the
highest performance, a longer operating
lifetime and a constant compliance with
safety requirements.
Unless otherwise stated, all interven-
tions should be carried out when the
engine has been stopped, cooled down
and the ignition key has been removed.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
The maintenance operations are subdivi-
ded into:
– Maintenance during running-in (first 50
hours)
– Routine maintenance (after running-in)
The frequency stated in the " routine
maintenance" table should be applied to
engines which are used regularly.
Some lubricants or components lose
their characteristics over time even if the
engine is left idle for long periods; the-
refore, maintenance intervals should be
established considering that these parts
need to be replaced not only on the basis
of their hours of operation but of ageing
as well.

MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Those authorized to carry out these
interventions should follow all the
precautions needed to guarantee
the safety of the people involved, in
compliance with the requirements laid
down in the applicable legislation con-
cerning safety at the workplace.
For each maintenance operation, fill in
the "Periodic maintenance operation
record sheet" provided, so as to keep a
trace of the operations performed and
therefore establish the most suitable
methods for future operations.
The approximate maximum time during
which the chemical-physical characteristi-
cs of a few components or lubricants are
maintained is stated below.
– Lubricant oil: duration, 1 year
– Fuel filter cartridge: duration, 1 year
– Coolant: duration, 2 years
