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.

DANGER
By not respecting these directions the user may place at
risk persons and objects.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Lombardini declines all responsibility for accidents
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
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.
(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
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
atmospheres or easily combustible powders,
unless adequate and specific precautions have
been taken and are clearly stated and certified for
By not respecting these directions the user can cause technical
damage to the unit and/or to the installation.

• To prevent the risk of fire, keep the machine at a
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

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
carbon
monoxide,

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
