Maintenance information

R750
Keep the equipment as much efficient as
possible and carry out the scheduled main-
tenance operations established by the man-
ufacturer.
A good maintenance will ensure the highest
performance, a longer operating lifetime
and a constant compliance with safety re-
quirements.
Warning - Caution
Unless otherwise stated, all interven-
tions should be carried out when the en-
gine has been stopped, cooled down and
the ignition key has been removed.
Those authorized to carry out these in-
terventions should follow all the precau-
tions needed to guarantee the safety of
the people involved, in compliance with
the requirements laid down in the appli-
cable legislation concerning safety at the
workplace.
Important
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 maintenance operations are subdivided
into:
– Maintenance during running-in (first 50
hours)
– Routine maintenance (after running-in)
The frequency stated in the " routine main-
tenance" 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, main-
tenance intervals should be established
considering that these parts need to be re-
placed not only on the basis of their hours of
operation but of ageing as well.
The approximate maximum time during
which the chemical-physical characteristics
of a few components or lubricants are main-
tained is stated below.
– 1 year: Lubricant oil
– 1 year: Fuel filter cartridge
– 2 years: Coolant
