portions. Petrol may not be used because of the
risk of it forming flammable vapours.
• During operation the surface of the engine re-
aches temperatures that may be dangerous.
Avoid in particular all contact with the exhaust
system.
• Before carrying out any work on the engine, turn
it off and allow it to cool down. Do not perform
any operation while the engine is running.
• The liquid cooling circuit is under pressure. Do
not carry out any checks before the engine has
cooled down, and even then open the radiator
cap or the expansion tank cautiously. Wear pro-
tective clothing and glasses. lf there is an elec-
tric fan, do not approach the engine while it is
still hot as the fan may come on even when the
engine is not running. Clean the cooling system
with the engine turned off.
• While cleaning the oil bath air filter, check that
the oil is disposed of in such a way as not to
harm the environment. Any filtering sponges in
the oil bath air filter should not be soaked with
oil. The cyclone pre-filter cup must not be filled
with oil.
• Since the oil must be emptied out while the en-
gine is still hot (approx. 80°C), particular care
should be taken in order to avoid burns. In any
case make sure that oil does not come into con-
tact with your skin because of the health ha-
zards involved.
• Check that the discharged oil, the oil filter and the
oil contained in the oil filter are disposed of in
such a way as not to harm the environment.
• Close the fuel tank filler cap carefully after each
fílling operation. Do not fill the tank right up to
the top, but leave sufficient space to allow for
any expansion of the fuel.
• Fuel vapours are highly toxic, so fill up only in the
open air or in well ventilated environments.
• Do not smoke or use naked flames while filling.
• Take care when removing the oil filter as it may
be hot.
• The operations of checking, filling up and repla-
cing the cooling liquid must be carried out with
the engine turned off and cold. Take particular
care if liquids containing nitrites are mixed with
others not containing these compounds as this
may give rise to the formation of nitrosamines
which are a health hazard. The cooling liquid is
polluting, so dispose of in a manner that does not
damage the environment.
• During operations which involve access to moving
parts of the engine and/or removal of the rotary
guards, disconnect and insulate the positive cable
of the battery so as to prevent accidental short
circuits and activation of the starter motor.
• Check the belt tension only when the engine is tur-
ned off.
• In order to move the engine simultaneously use
the eyebolts fitted for this purpose by Lombardini.
These lifting points are however not suitable for
the entire machine, so in this case use the eye-
bolts fitted by the manufacturer.
