MAINTENANCE IN CASE OF ENGINE INACTIVITY
In case of long periods of engine inactivity
(more than 6 months), carry out the
GB
protective engine treatment. If the engine
is not used for a further period of time,
check the need to repeat the protective
treatment for other 6 months (see section
"Engine protection in case of long periods
of inactivity" on page 23).
CHECKS AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF ENGINE INACTIVITY
Before starting the engine, it is good
practice to carry out some checks.
1 - Check that there are no visible
leakages or damage to the engine
components and the relevant electric
connections.
2 - Remove and thoroughly clean any
foreign material deposits on engine
components.
3 - Check the level and status of fluids:
fuel (see page 27), DEF fluid (see page
37-39), engine oil (see page 53), coolant
(see page 62).

6 minutes before disconnecting the
