necessary for accurate dimension testing and/or inspection of parts subject to repair and lastly indicates the products, torques, and
adjustment or setting data to use. The material contained in this manual is of a confidential technical nature intended for Dealers
and Authorised Service Centres who will be promptly informed of any changes of a mainly technical nature involving the engines, by
sending files showing the modifications, updates and additions regarding optional devices. Technicians and their employees shall not

0.2.1 - safety notes
Correctly performed repairs are extremely important for regular operation of the engines entrusted to a Workshop for a repair or
overhaul. The testing and repair techniques recommended and described in this manual are effective and safe methods for obtaining
good operation. Some of the described operations require the use of special and dedicated tools; these can be requested from the
Manufacturer who has specifically designed them for their intended purpose. DO NOT USE IMPROVISED TOOLS; they could create
potentially dangerous situations and do not always correspond to the specific functions for which they are created and used. If a
dangerous situation occurs or is anticipated, consider safety first of all and take the necessary actions to handle the situation
0.2.2 - general safety
l
Even if you know the engine perfectly in terms of composition, operations and controls, be very careful when making ma-
noeuvres or movements; it is a good idea to remember that the engine delivered to the Workshop needs to be repaired or
overhauled and may have unpredictable reactions.
l
Before starting to work, accurately clean the engine to remove mud, dust and gravel.
l
When performing tests and repairs, always wear close fitting clothing, goggles and gloves suitable for the operation to perform
(cleaning, draining fluids, repairs). Do not go near moving parts with long hair that has not been tied back, hair can get caught
and create serious injury.
l
Do not let unauthorised individuals near the engine; they must be required to remain at a safe distance.
l
Keep away from moving parts; with the engine on, some parts are not very visible and thus, even if protected, may represent
a potential danger of being drawn in.
l
When starting the engine, make sure that the area is well ventilated to avoid a build up of toxic gases; always apply the ex-
haust pipe of the forced fume extraction devices.
l
Absolutely avoid running the engine without guards; all repair and/or adjustment operations must be performed with the en-
gine off.
l
Do not fill up fuel, oil or coolant with the engine running.
l
Do not smoke when filling up fuel or lubricant and make sure there are no open flames in the vicinity.
l
Before working on the battery to check it or remove it, stop the engine and remove the key.
l
Remove the battery and recharge it in a well ventilated area and with a temperature greater than 0°C.
l
Do not smoke during battery testing and recharging, and do not go near it with open flames since the hydrogen emitted during
chemical reactions may explode.
l
The liquid (electrolyte) contained in the battery is dangerous for the skins and above all for the eyes; for this reason when test-
ing the battery always wear gloves and safety goggles with side shields. If you accidentally get electrolyte on you immediately
wash the contaminated parts for a long time with water; if your clothes are contaminated change them as quickly as possible.
If you accidentally swallow electrolyte, drink plenty of water, milk, vegetable oil and antacids such as magnesium, bicarbonate,
etc., and go to an emergency room as soon as possible.
l
If work needs to be done on the electrical circuits, disconnect the terminals from the battery.
dangEr
First disconnect the negative terminal (--) then the positive one (+); after the repair work, first connect the positive pole
(+) then the negative one (--).
l
Welding work should not be done on the engine.
l
When filling up or changing lubricants, always use waterproof gloves.
l
Do not wear clothing contaminated with engine oil or hydraulic circuit oil; prolonged contact with the skin may be harmful and
for some people cause allergic reactions.
l
Engine oil and hydraulic circuit oil are considered special wastes; recover the lubricants and have them disposed of according
to current laws.
l
Discharge any remaining pressure before working on the hydraulic and pneumatic circuits.
