WARNING SIGNS
• Ruggerini engines are built to provide safe and
longlasting performances, but in order to obtain
these results it is essential that the maintenance
requirements described in the manual are observed
along with the following safety recommendations.
• The engine has been built to the specifications of a
machine manufacturer, and it is his responsibility to
ensure that all necessary action is taken to meet the
essential and legally prescribed health and safety
requirements. Any use of the machine other than
that described cannot be considered as complying
with its intended purpose as specified by Lombardini,
which therefore declines all responsibility for
accidents caused by such operations.
• The following instructions are intended for the user
of the machine in order to reduce or eliminate risks,
especially those concerning the operation and
standard maintenance of the engine.
• The user should read these instructions carefully
and get to know the operations described. By not
doing so he may place at risk his own health and
safety and that of anyone else in the vicinity of the
machine.
• The engine may be used or mounted on a machine
only by personnel suitably trained in its operation
and aware of the dangers involved. This is particularly
true for standard and, above all, special maintenance
work. For special maintenance contact personnel
trained specifically by Ruggerini. This work should
be carried out in accordance with existing literature.
• Lombardini declines all responsibility for accidents

DANGER
By not respecting these directions the user may place at
risk persons and objects.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
or for failure to comply with the requirements of law
if changes are made to the engine's functional
parameters or to the fuel flow rate adjustments and
speed of rotation, if seals are removed, or if parts
not described in the operating and maintenance
manual are removed and reassembled by
unauthorized personnel.
• In addition to all other machine specifications,
ensure that the engine is in a near horizontal
position when starting. lf starting manually, ensure
that the necessary operations can be performed
without any risk of striking against walls or dangerous
objects.
Rope starting (except for recoil rope
starting) is not permitted even in emergencies.
• Check that the machine is stable so that there is no
risk of it overturning.
• Get to know the engine speed adjustment and
machine stop operations.
• Do not start the machine in closed or poorly
ventilated environments. The internal combustion
process generates carbon monoxide, an odourless
and highly toxic gas, so spending too long a time in
an environment where the engine discharges its
exhaust products freely can lead to loss of
consciousness and even death.
• The engine may not be used in environments
containing flammable materials, explosive
atmospheres or easily combustible powders, unless
adequate and specific precautions have been taken
and are clearly stated and certified for the machine.
• To prevent the risk of fire, keep the machine at a

By not respecting these directions the user can cause
technical damage to the unit and/or to the installation.
distance of at least one metre from buildings or other
machines.
• Children and animals must be kept at a sufficient
distance from the machine to prevent any danger
resulting from its operation.
• Fuel is flammable, so the tank must be filled only
when the engine is turned off. Dry carefully any fuel
that may have spilled, remove the fuel container and
any cloths soaked in fuel or oil, check that any sound-
absorbing panels made of porous material are not
soaked with fuel or oil, and make sure that the ground
on which the machine is located has not absorbed
fuel or oil.
• To start the engine follow the specific instructions
provided in the engine and/or machine operating
manual. Do not use auxiliary starting devices not
originally installed on the machine (e.g. Startpilot
systems which utilise ether etc.)
• Before starting, remove any tools that have been
used for carrying out maintenance work to the engine
and/or the machine and check that any guards
removed have been replaced. In cold climates it is
possible to mix kerosene with the diesel fuel to make
the engine easier to start. The liquids must be mixed
in the tank by pouring in first the kerosene and then
the diesel fuel. Consult Lombardini technical office
for mixture proportions. Petrol may not be used
because of the risk of it forming flammable vapours.
• During operation the surface of the engine reaches
temperatures that may be dangerous.
