SAFETY AND WARNING DECALS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
CAUTION
•
Lombardini Engines are built to supply their performances in a safe and long-lasting way. To obtain these results, it
is essential for users to comply with the servicing instructions given in the relative manual along with the safety
recommendations listed below.
•
The engine has been made according to a machine manufacturer's specifications and all actions required to meet the
essential safety and health safeguarding requisites have been taken, as prescribed by the current laws in merit. All
uses of the engine beyond those specifically established cannot therefore be considered as conforming to the use
defined by Lombardini which thus declines all liability for any accidents deriving from such operations.
•
The following indications are dedicated to the user of the machine in order to reduce or eliminate risks concerning engine
operation in particular, along with the relative routine maintenance work.
•
The user must read these instructions carefully and become familiar with the operations described. Failure to do this
could lead to serious danger for his personal safety and health and that of any persons who may be in the vicinity of
the machine.
•
The engine may only be used or assembled on a machine by technicians who are adequately trained about its operation
and the deriving dangers. This condition is also essential when it comes to routine and, above all, extraordinary
maintenance operations which, in the latter case, must only be carried out by persons specifically trained by Lombardini
and who work in compliance with the existing documentation.
•
Variations to the functional parameters of the engine, adjustments to the fuel flow rate and rotation speed, removal of
seals, demounting and refitting of parts not described in the operation and maintenance manual by unauthorized
personnel shall relieve Lombardini from all and every liability for deriving accidents or for failure to comply with the laws
in merit.
•
On starting, make sure that the engine is as horizontal as possible, unless the machine specifications differ. In the
case of manual start-ups, make sure that the relative actions can take place without the risk of hitting walls or dangerous
objects, also considering the movements made by the operator. Pull-starting with a free cord (thus excluding self-
winding starting only), is not permitted even in an emergency.
•
Make sure that the machine is stable to prevent the risk of overturning.
•
Become familiar with how to adjust the rotation speed and stop the engine.
•
Never start the engine in a closed place or where there is insufficient ventilation. Combustion creates carbon monoxide,
an odourless and highly poisonous gas. Lengthy stays in places where the engine freely exhausts this gas can lead
to unconsciousness and death.
