After installation and before start-up, you must remove the external metal tie rods which are intended

only for transport (fig. 4).

Exhaust pipe
The exhaust pipes can run along the ceiling or under the floor and must discharge the fumes/gases into the atmosphere where
they cannot cause harm or inconvenience, away from doors, windows or air intakes. They must terminate with a fixed rain cap
(fig. 5).
Always channel the exhaust gas outside the pump room via the dedicated piping connected to the silencer supplied with the
diesel engine pump.
Do not perform any welding on the fume exhaust pipes with the diesel pump installed. This could cause
ATTENTION
damage to the electronic parts (control unit, pick-up unit, etc.) for which the manufacturer cannot be held
liable. Seek technical assistance if welding is required with the diesel pump already installed.
Exhaust gases and fumes can be lethal! Do not run the engine without a suitable supply or fresh air and
discharge the gases into the atmosphere!
The gas exhaust pipes of the diesel engine must be set up by a qualified operator, considering the purely indicative tips below
on how to set up the system to standard. The exhaust piping must offer low resistance to burned gases in order to avoid internal
counterpressure, which can cause the motor to malfunction. Excessive counterpressure can result in a loss of power, increased
consumption and overheating.
This means that the exhaust pipes should be reasonably short and of a diameter more or less the same as that of the engine's
exhaust manifold, and feature a minimal number of bends. Bends, and especially elbow bends, can cause excessive loss of
head and, as a result, an increase in counterpressure. To limit this loss, any bends should preferably have a radius of curvature
at least 2.5 times the internal diameter of the pipe.
