GENERAL NOTES
Lombardini engines are built to provide safe and
.
longlasting performances, but in order to obtain
these results it is essential that the maintenance
requirements described in the manual are
observed
along
with
the
recommendations.
The engine has been built to the specifications of a
.
machine manufacturer, and it is his responsibility
to ensure that all necessary action is taken to
meet the essential and legally prescribed health
and safety requirements. Any use of the machine
other than that described cannot be considered
as complying with its intended purpose as
specified
by
Lombardini,
declines all responsibility for accidents caused by
such operations.
.
The following instructions are intended for the user
of the machine in order to reduce or eliminate
risks, especially those concerning the operation
and standard maintenance of the engine.
The user should read these instructions carefully
.
and get to know the operations described. By not
doing so he may place at risk his own health and
safety and that of anyone else in the vicinity of
the machine.
.
The engine may be used or mounted on a
machine only by personnel suitably trained
in its operation and aware of the dangers
involved. This is particularly true for standard
and, above all, special maintenance work. For
special maintenance contact personnel trained
specifically by Lombardini. This work should be
carried out in accordance with existing literature.

long a time in an environment where the engine
discharges its exhaust products freely can lead to
loss of consciousness and even death.

The engine may not be used in environments
containing
atmospheres or easily combustible powders,
unless adequate and specific precautions have
been taken and are clearly stated and certified for
the machine.
To prevent the risk of fire, keep the machine at a

any fuel that may have spilled, remove the fuel
container and any cloths soaked in fuel or oil,
check that any sound-absorbing panels made
of porous material are not soaked with fuel or
oil, and make sure that the ground on which the
machine is located has not absorbed fuel or oil.
Before starting, remove any tools that have been
.
used for carrying out maintenance work to the
engine and/or the machine and check that any
guards removed have been replaced. In cold
climates it is possible to mix kerosene with the
diesel fuel to make the engine easier to start.
The liquids must be mixed in the tank by pouring
in first the kerosene and then the diesel fuel.
Consult Lombardini technical office for mixture
proportions. Petrol may not be used because of
the risk of it forming flammable vapours.
During operation the surface of the engine reaches
.
temperatures that may be dangerous. Avoid in
an
particular all contact with the exhaust system.
The liquid cooling circuit is under pressure. Do

not carry out any checks before the engine has
cooled down, and even then open the radiator
cap or the expansion tank cautiously.
protective clothing and glasses. lf there is an
electric fan, do not approach the engine while it
is still hot as the fan may come on even when the
engine is not running. Clean the cooling system
with the engine turned off.
While cleaning the oil bath air filter, check that the
.
oil is disposed of in such a way as not to harm
the environment. Any filtering sponges in the oil
bath air filter should not be soaked with oil. The
cyclone pre-filter cup must not be filled with oil.
