Operation
General
Learn how to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a safe and correct manner before starting the
engine
WARNING! At operating temperature, the engine
and its components are hot. A hot engine always
involves risk for burn injuries. Take care with hot
surfaces. E.g.: exhaust manifold, turbocharger,
oil pan, charge air pipe, starting heater, hot
coolant and warm lubricant in pipes and hoses.
IMPORTANT! Avoid overloading. This can cause
incomplete fuel combustion often indicated by
black exhaust, high fuel consumption and carbon
deposits in combustion chambers, affecting
engine life.
IMPORTANT! Do not turn the starter switch key
to the START position when the engine is
running this may damage the starter.
WARNING! Stay clear of all rotating and moving
parts during operation.
IMPORTANT! Always keep the engine room well
ventilated. Insufficient airsupply to the engine
means imperfect combustion and a loss of
power.
IMPORTANT! During the first 50 hours of opera-
tion, operate the engine under a lighter load and
lower speeds than normal for break-in. Proper
break-in contributes to maximum service life of
the engine.
IMPORTANT! Do not turn OFF the battery
switch when the engine is running since this may
damage the alternator.
