GENERAL INFORMATION
WARRANTY
In order to ensure that your engine gives the best possible
performance and to take advantage of the FPT warranty, you must
follow the indications provided in this publication with great care;
failure to do so may result in invalidation of the warranty.
SPARE PARTS
Always use Original FPT Spare parts. This is essential to keep the
engine in original running order.
The use of non-original spare parts not only invalidates the warranty,
but also means that FPT cannot be held responsible in any way during
the entire life cycle of the engine.
RESPONSIBILITY
The Manufacturer's responsibility is subordinate to the performance of
the check and maintenance operations specified and described in this
manual; their performance must be demonstrated for this purpose.
Any necessary unscheduled maintenance operations must be carried

make modifications to
the wiring and to the units equipping the engine, or connect them
to other power systems.
Pay particular attention to moving parts of the engine, to high
temperature components and to circuits containing pressurised
fluids; its electrical equipment houses electrical currents and
voltage.
The exhaust fumes produced by the engine are bad for your health.
The engine must be handled using suitable lifting tackle, making use
of the lifting eyelets provided on the engine for that purpose.
