USE THE RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS :
- For topping up, oils do not necessarily have to be miscible.
- For oil changes, MANITOU oils are perfectly suitable.
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS OF OIL
In the event of a maintenance or service contract with the dealer you may be requested to provide a sample of a selected
component's oil, for diagnostic analysis.
(*) FUEL SPECIFICATION
CETANE RATING : 45 minimum
VISCOSITY : 2 - 4,5 Centistokes at 40° C
DENSITY : 0,820 - 0,860 kg/litre
SULPHUR : 0,2 % mass maximum
DISTILLATION : 85 % at 350° C
- The cetane rating is a measure of the ignition quality of a diesel fuel. A fuel with a low cetane index may cause problems
with cold starts and affect combustion.
- Viscosity is the resistance to flow. If the viscosity is outside the limits, I.C. engine performance may be affected.
- A low density reduces the power of the I.C. engine, a high density increases the power of the I.C. engine and the exhaust fumes.
- A high sulphur content (Not usually found in europe, north america or australasia) may cause wear to the I.C. engine. If only
fuels with a high sulphur content are available, it is necessary to use a highly alkaline greasing oil in the I.C. engine or to
replace the greasing oil more frequently.
- Distillation : this indicates the mixture of different hydrocarbons in the fuel. A high ratio of light hydrocarbons can affect the
characteristics of combustion.
- Fuels for low temperatures : special winter fuels may be available for use in the I.C. engine at temperatures below 0°C.
These fuels have a lower viscosity and thus reduce the formation of paraffin in the fuel at low temperatures. The formation of
paraffin can prevent filtration of the fuel.
