Important
• After a year of engine inactivity, the coolant loses its
properties and must be replaced
After a period of inactivity and before installing and running
the engine, it is necessary to carry out a few measures in
order to ensure that it runs at maximum efficiency.
1. Remove the protective treatment.
2. Remove any blockages from the exhaust and intake ducts.
3. Use a cloth soaked in degreasing product to remove the
external protective treatment.
4. Remove the intake manifold.
5. Inject lubrication oil (no more than 2 cm

) into the valves and
replace the intake manifold.
6. Adjust the alternator-fan belt tension.

level marked on the dipstick.
12. Check the filters for aging (air, oil, fuel) and, if necessary,
replace them with original spares.
Important
• Over time, a number of engine components and lubricants
lose their properties, even when the engine is not in use,
and so it is important to consider whether they need
replacing, based not only on the number of hours of use,
but also on age and wear.
13. Install the engine onto the machine and make the necessary
connections and unions.
14. Make sure that electrical contacts are intact and efficient.
15. Check that the engine oil and coolant are up to level.
16. Start the engine and keep at minimum speed for a few
