Regulations for lifting the engine
Important
•
Before removing the engine from the vehicle on which it is installed, disconnect the
power supply, detach the fuel and coolant supply, and all connections including the
mechanical ones.
•
Attach the engine to a suitable lifting device (lifting beam).
•
To move the engine simultaneously use the eyebolts installed, these lifting points are
not suitable for the entire machine, then use the eyebolts installed by the manufacturer.
•
Before lifting, make sure the weight is correctly balanced by checking its barycentre.
•
Close all engine openings accurately (exhaust, intake, etc.), then wash the outside and
dry with a jet of compressed air.
•
The bracket of the lifting points have been designed to lift the engine only. They are not
intended nor approved to lift additional weights.
•
Do not use different methods to lift the engine than those described herein. In case
different methods are used, no warranty shall be granted for any consequential damage.
•
Use protective gloves when handling the engine

•
Fuel vapours are highly toxic, so fill up only in the open air or
in well ventilated environments.
•
During operations which involve access to moving parts of
the engine and/or removal of the rotary guards, disconnect
and insulate the positive cable of the battery so as to prevent
accidental short circuits and activation of the starter motor.
•
Check the belt tension only when the engine is turned off.
Important
•
To start the engine follow the specific instructions provided
in the engine and/or machine operating manual. Do not
use auxiliary starting devices not originally installed on the
machine (e.g. Startpilot systems which utilise ether etc.)
•
Before carrying out any work on the engine, turn it off and
allow it to cool down. Do not perform any operation while
the engine is running.
•
Check that the discharged oil, the oil filter and the oil
contained in the oil filter are disposed of in such a way as not
to harm the environment.
•
Close the fuel tank filler cap carefully after each fílling
operation. Do not fill the tank right up to the top, but leave
sufficient space to allow for any expansion of the fuel.
•
Do not smoke or use naked flames while filling.
•
Take care when removing the oil filter as it may be hot.
•
The operations of checking, filling up and replacing the
cooling liquid must be carried out with the engine turned off
and cold. Take particular care if liquids containing nitrites
are mixed with others not containing these compounds as
this may give rise to the formation of nitrosamines which are a
health hazard. The cooling liquid is polluting, so dispose of in a
manner that does not damage the environment.
•
In order to move the engine simultaneously use the eyebolts
fitted for this purpose by
Kohler
. These lifting points are however
not suitable for the entire machine, so in this case use the
eyebolts fitted by the manufacturer.
