RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND OWNER / OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety
checks, to ensure that all lubrication, cooling and main-
tenance instructions are complied with for safe opera-
tion.
Proper maintenance and care of your engine will ensure
optimum performance and dependability and will keep
your overall operating expenses at a minimum.
It is recommended to contact workshops authorized by
VM MOTORI STELLANTIS EUROPE for the mana-
gement of periodic engine checks in order to ensure
correct implementation of the maintenance instructions
contained in the service manual.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
The maintenance operations are subdivided into:
– Maintenance during running-in (first 50 hours)
– Routine maintenance (after running-in) The frequen-
cy 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;
therefore, 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.
